Not posted an image in a while, I know it is not very good was trying to play around with lighting and filters...

Dr. Muramasa, can I be nosey for a moment? What does this year look like as a rough outline right now?
Starmaker Story – As previous mentioned 1.9 is planned for March, 2.0 for April, and a Steam release in May.
Roundscape Eclipse – Kal mentioned Act 1 will drop this year. Does that mean it'll get a Steam release too, either as Early Access or released in chapters? Also, is Roundscape on hold while Kal focuses on getting Starmaker to gold?
The 6 month gap – Is that still the plan before starting a new project? I'm assuming that period would be used to fully focus on Roundscape? Will the community have any input on what comes next? I imagine there'll be plenty of people clamouring for a Starmaker spinoff, and I'd bet the Arenus fans will be loud about wanting a remake or Steam release too...
I think it is something with my config but I always get weird results with having Hires enabled by default, so I normally do it after the original image is generated. I pretty much always have to touch up eyes in Photoshop though or every character would look straight out of Oshi no Ko 😅
Will take a look at Face Detailer but every Bbox model appears to be blocked in my region at least through Stability Matrix UI 🤔
"Alice's help, we corrupt Norah in a way that gradually changes her personality and tastes to align more with her daughter's"
It is funny you say this as I am hoping on the complete opposite 😅 Alice goes on a full on goodie two shoes route starts wearing clothes like Norah and you get funny events where she asks Anna at home if she can teach her about washing, cooking and flowers. Not really a kink, but would be funny as hell...
Alice and Norah's story is confirmed to continue in 1.9
"Excuse the pretty girl standing in the way"

This is awesome, I was kinda hoping the home would get a rework at some point. It would be nice to see environmental changes to the home as you gain hearts with Anna and if you go the Slut/Love route.
The stairwell is a huge question, it would be nice to see some content here in some form e.g. Anna coming home drunk with some panty shots... Anna falls on the stairs and you have to nurse her leg better...
The only main criticism and you mention not getting around to it, is lighting blues and purples are what really make Starmaker it's own world so is a staple that you would need to adhere to. Also a side note would be objects and cars having that retro look.
I am sure Dr.Muramasa can give some pointers on placements and styles. If entertained.
Oh my! How I long awaited this day would come and how was it worth the wait. PEAK! 🙌
Seriously Doc, you are a credit to the Starmaker community and do not get half the recognition you are due.
I do hope Kal gives you a job with a big fat pay cheque, when the time is right. That or you are sponging all his knowledge and all his mistakes, then go on to make masterpieces of your own.
Looking at this and everything you do, you are ready! 💪
I need to step up my game 😤
💯fair, at the end of the day it is your money and your choice. If you are unhappy with the games direction that is when you vote with your wallet as you say.
Though first and foremost I do hope Kal is making games for himself. A sign of a good game or any content is when it is made with love and passion, from their own drive and creativity. Yes, fellowship and monetisation is required to establish a good product. Though all the best indie projects are made from a single vision e.g. Fez, Braid, Super Meat Boy, Summertime Saga... These games find their following and they are locked in for the journey.
Feedback is slowly improving, mainly thanks to Dr.Muramasa. Though I will admit communication is still a massive weakness and as a Patreon I would expect monthly updates, deep dives, overviews, demos and just general nerd out sessions on cool technologies they have been working with. I do not buy the whole Kal saying "NSFW games have a hard time" the porn industry is what elevates the internet and social media is a bottomless pit of new opportunities. I am hoping their next project is lead with a winning mentality.
So... I hit 50 followers on itch so figured I might as well do something for this milestone.. so let's start a new thread. This thread will not be updated everyday on the road to 1.9 like 1.8 😅 (never putting myself through that again.) But I will post every once in a while, when I am thinking of Anna and Co.
Yes, I am working on my own project.. yes, it is a slow burn..
Most importantly, share your own creations. I want to see them all! (maybe one day Dr.Muramasa will share something with us 😉)

I guess the basic questions to ask are:
Hello, oh god you have reopened this thread 😅
My images are created in the most past using Stability Matrix and the Plant Milk model. Though quite a bit of Photoshop goes into cleaning them up. Then I use Grok Imagine for animations with some tweaking in Corel VideoStudio. A number of workflows can by found in the main thread or by clicking my username. Hope this helps..
