This seems to only happen when the game attempts to display a duplicate CG image that maybe shares a Unique Identifier (UID) with the image currently on screen, the new image fails to render in its assigned transform/position.

The rendering system likely checks if the "new" image UID matches the current UID if they are identical, it may be skipping the positioning logic or failing to reinstantiate the sprite, assuming the asset is already correctly placed.

I would hope this can be resolved by implementing a "shuffle logic" check to ensure the same UID is never selected twice in a row. If using a random selection function, add a conditional loop or a "previousIndex" variable to force a different selection.

My hope is Kal at least has a spreadsheet somewhere with all these kind of things listed out, so he can go through them at some stage before 2.0 

Would not even class it as a bug but just an inconsistency that needs sorting out at some stage 

Aye ideally the MCs face should be cut off screen or blurred out like previously. Though seeing a different face in some images is just jarring like at the moment... 

For 2, spam the F1 key about 10 times and it should reset the UI allowing you to move again 

Kate's Sprite does not load when meeting her in the Park 

Press alt + Enter while racing and then alt + Enter after racing, fixed it for me. Obviously some scaling issue which needs fixing. 

Hello, me again. 😅 Dr.Muramasa quick question are we not supposed to see the MC's face and if so this looks nothing like the MC (brown hair) in the opening intro? Was this CG image used by mistake? 

I hope you enjoy 1.8 and everything which follows in the year ahead. 

Per image I spend on average about 30 minutes getting the prompts (Prompts/Negatives) and configuration (Model/Refine/Sampler/Steps/Scale) right

Then another 30 minutes post editing in Photoshop (Lines/Details/Colours/Saturation/Filters) 

Then about 20 minutes in Grok Imagine getting the animation prompts right

All time spend depends on the image however. It is best to start off with a clear vision of what you want. As with anything in life the more time you spend practising the better you will get. The best thing you can do it try everything, do not be afraid of making mistakes and set yourself a goal and routine. 

My work here is done... 

I would like to thank anyone who followed this journey. I will now be taking a break and enjoying 1.8 before moving on to my own project. (I will still post dumb comments and images from time to time that is for sure...)

If it was not already obvious I love this game. I wish Kal and Dr.Muramasa all the best on their road to wrapping up this project (sorry for the snarky comments it is just who I am.) I hope Kal and furanh knock Roundscape Eclipse out the park when it is ready to be shown to the world.. but most of all I hope Starmaker lives on, comes back as a spinoff and has all the animations, customisations and interactive elements people are requesting and is built from the ground up with this in mind.

Any hoot... as a great truffle forager once said "That'll do pig, that'll do"

Ah I could not get it the same but a close attempt at least 

Cannot win them all 😅 last update was Kal was fixing some hard get around new bugs, so hopefully not too far away now. Happy Birthday none the less! 🎂

It lost a little detail this might be better 

Might struggle to find this one. I have run out of Grok Prompts for today and ComfyUI is being an arse to day so could you could use the following base image to do it yourself

The product placement in Adrian's room would be funny though 😅

Unless Lovense are going to drop big fat load of sponsorship money on Kal, I do not see this happening. I just do no see it making much sense with the game only having static images for CGs. 

Maybe the best hope is someone creating a custom mod for it 🤔

Today's NSFW Image

I was trying to play around with what a dream sequence might look like when the MC goes to bed 

Are you on a somewhat modern version of Microsoft Windows (10/11)? 

If so after downloading the game from the main page:

Right click and extract Starmaker_Story_1_7_FullGame.zip in your Downloads folder

This should create a Downloads\Starmaker_Story_1_7_FullGame\Starmaker Story 1.7 folder 

In the Downloads\Starmaker_Story_1_7_FullGame\Starmaker Story 1.7 folder double click the Starmaker Story.exe

If that does not resolve the issue, let us know any further details e.g. Machine specs and any error messages? 

Remember with Roundscape it will also be a case of how fast furanh can pump out art...

He will be back on Roundscape after 1.8 for 2 months and then back to Starmaker for 1.9, that is normally how it works.

No worries, hope to be wrong and things can always change. Though believe the developer is currently being pushed more to appeasing new content as opposed to additional platform support and system environment support. 

Maybe when the Steam version is released, things like this might be revisited though.

Believe it is more or less confirmed that this will not be happening now due to the amount of effort involved.

Anna was not quite sure if the outfit you bought her for the church summer picnic was a little short (Pre 2 Hearts) 

Obviously she would have fun NSFW content as well 😉

While we wait for 1.8...  If you could create any character or bring someone in from another game/anime/media into Starmaker Story who would it be? 

• I would like a new character for Friday's when you pay for the maid service to do the dishes for you:

😅 I swear every developer wants to put a cherry on the cake before it is baked. Tell him to set this to his wallpaper. Jks 

Today's NSFW Image

Right... pixel style images... this is why I do not do them anymore... 

Some kind of status update would be nice, as in Kal is still fixing bugs at the moment or it is hopefully on the last test cycle. 

While I agree with you on it being a wonderful game. Just to be clear the game is nothing to do with me.

• Kal is the developer 
• Doc is the moderator 
• There are a couple more behind the scenes for bits here and there and on Discord as well

Starmaker if it was made in RPG Maker - Do not expected more of these types they are extremely time consuming... 

Yes,, I give her a bigger rounder butt, or that wouldn't be very Starmakery would it 

I was always more of a Miku fan 😏

Hey, this thread is a Dr.Muramasa freezone 

We do not worry about their opinion around these parts 😅

Though, the concern on being close to in game CGs was more on my part of wanting to experiment with my own things and ideas.

I was shying away from them to not to be close to in game CGs but sure I can knock one out for tomorrow...

Good lord, this could have worked out better but I wasted far too much time on it so here were are...
