The reason nobody is complaining about the dialogue is because it’s already fantastic and doesn’t need any fixing. Everyone is actually excited to play the new story content with the upgraded lighting.

The new lighting isn't completely ruining the game, but it's noticeably worse than before. Right now, it feels like playing while wearing foggy glasses on a cold day—and if you already wear glasses in real life, it’s even worse. I get that it’s meant to add immersion, but too much of anything can end up hurting the experience.

A minor tweak or tone-down is all it really needs. It doesn't have to be patched immediately, but it would be great to know if there are plans to add a toggle option, tune it down slightly, or simply let the community mod it.

A simple example from this post: the original post has around 30 voteup, while the comment criticizing it has around 15–18 voteup. In another post where I explained my opinion in more detail, the amount of support and criticism was also fairly balanced.  So I think it’s fair to say that many people don’t like this.

Yeah, I'm only criticizing the art direction. It's ultimately the developer's decision. As a player, I'm simply giving my opinion on the new lighting changes. I don't like them, and some other people don't either. I just have a small hope that they might address some of the points I mentioned in my other comments.

I only started playing in v1.7. What attracted me to this game was the idea of using AI to reduce the time needed to create CGs, allowing the developers to produce more content and greater variety. So it's not surprising that some people focus their criticism on that aspect.

Of course, there are probably a lot of free players. In the end, I think it all depends on whether the direction the developers are taking appeals to the people who are interested in this game. We're just a sample of potential customers, and our feedback is simply one part of that.

What I'm trying to say is that this kind of decoration isn't a good idea. Although it makes it look prettier, it ends up looking strange and doesn't blend well with the rest of the pixel art design.

Pixel art has its own distinct identity and visual direction. Adding realistic lighting and color effects clashes with that aesthetic instead of enhancing it. You might like it, but many people don't.

Putting stockings on a sex doll is fine. silk stockings on a prosthetic leg is not, because the situations aren't comparable and don't align with what most people would normally do. 

If your prosthetic leg is part of your public image and something you actively present and even benefit from then choosing to cover it with stockings seems contradictory. It doesn't fully hide the prosthetic anyway, and it just adds unnecessary inconvenience. 

We usually see prosthetic legs being decorated to stand out, rather than to blend in. right?

Your implementation of dynamic lighting that matches the background environment makes the overall image look noticeably darker. In particular, the areas that are supposed to be the visual focal point—such as the genitals—are usually located near the bottom of the image, where there's naturally less light, causing them to lose emphasis.

I don't really like that approach. The CGs in the game are already fairly small, so I don't think it's necessary to make the characters blend so seamlessly into the background. I think it's more important to preserve the scene's visual impact than to pursue perfectly realistic lighting.

Yeah, it feels a bit off. It has that typical AI-generated look, with overly perfect lighting and shadows that you see everywhere. I actually prefer the original's imperfections.

Since the portrait shown in-game is so small, it should be kept simple and straightforward, more like a comic panel. That style conveys emotion much better than adding dramatic lighting and intricate details that make it look like an epic illustration.

That said, some of them do look good, like the image on the left. But I don't like how the excessive amount of detail ends up overshadowing the impact of the scene, unlike the one on the right.

Man,it’s exhausting just watching you restrict yourself like that, demanding a pure, non-NTR game like that. But I get your pain if you've invested in a game, you want it to align with what you put your money into. However, for a developer, whatever boosts sales is what they should do, even if it means betraying their past promises. Feel free to keep condemning the dev all you want.

Either way, it seems like the outcome favors me more since I can enjoy both play routes.

Doesn't it cross your mind that v2.0 could get delayed just like 1.9? I think v2.0 should be delayed so we get a more packed update unless they're just planning to make the jump from 1.9 to 2.0 a minor bug-fix patch rather than a major release.

I’m not telling you to play NTR. That’s not my point. What I’m asking is: if you can avoid it and simply not enter the NTR route, why choose to stay and express your anger in such a hostile way instead?

I agree that people have the right to criticize. Criticism is fine. But in my case, if I didn’t like vanilla content and a game had both vanilla routes and NTR routes, I could simply choose to play only the NTR routes. I wouldn’t need to insult the developer or react with that level of hostility.

Do you understand what I mean by “avoid”? I’m not saying you have to accept or enjoy something you dislike. I’m saying that if an option exists to avoid the content, that is also a choice.

Also, I have never seen the developer make a promise or statement saying “we will never add NTR.” In fact, the older games already had some small NTR-like scenes, and the artist has also created NTR-related artwork before. So it was always possible that it could appear again. Why did some people become so angry and feel completely betrayed?

I actually respect the developer for adding it because, within the context of this game, it makes sense from a lore perspective. This is an apocalypse world with sex-hungry zombies and dangerous people living underground. Does every challenge in the game have to come only from getting a Game Over after making a bad decision or from brutally limited resources? Can’t psychological or emotional consequences also be part of the difficulty and storytelling?

 believe I’ve already explained why NTR should exist in games: it creates a strong drive for players to try their absolute best to avoid it, which actually adds to the fun and tension of the game. But what about you guys? I’ve never seen a well-reasoned opinion from those who dislike it—all I see is hate or absolute statements like 'I don't like it, don't put it in.'

This is a fictional story. The desire for it is just like wanting to steal a car in GTA because you can't do it in real life—even though you could still choose to play as a good person in GTA if you wanted to. I honestly don't understand why people are so toxic toward developers when it's something you can simply choose to avoid.

If you’ve ever read any of Scarlett Ann’s work, her NTR content isn't even that hardcore. In fact, even in the first game, there was a scene where a character gets taken by a zombie.

Awesome! I’m really looking forward to this update. I’m a big fan of NTR, especially when games make it optional so we can choose between a normal playthrough or an NTR run. It adds a layer of excitement like playing a city-builder game where there's always a risk of everything either thriving or collapsing. Especially in a zombie survival setting where society has broken down; besides the usual zombie threats we often see in doujins, there should definitely be dangers from other survivors who prey on women. It makes the world feel so much more deep and immersive. I really admire your courage to stand by your vision despite the backlash,

I’ll never understand why some people get so incredibly angry about this. There’s really no reason to be so upset when it's clearly stated that you can easily play the game while avoiding it entirely.

The longer this goes on, the more I have high expectations. At least I want to be sure I'll get to play it this year. I played very little of version 1.8 because the endings were cut out.

 get it. You really want to play this game, and you're extremely disappointed that it got delayed indefinitely. But that doesn't change the fact that the game was labeled as free and still unfinished. The developers can technically take their time developing it however they want.

Normally, I don't like supporting unfinished games. Honestly, this game probably shouldn't even have been released to the public yet. But I happened to stumble onto it, enjoyed it, and ended up waiting for it the same way people wait for games like Minecraft or Stardew Valley that keep getting updated endlessly.

Of course, breaking promises is wrong, but I don't think it's something worth getting that emotional over. Deep down, you already know they're still working on it, and eventually you'll get to buy and play it.

Personally, I'm okay with it taking longer if that means the game won't launch half-baked and need daily hotfix patches like version 1.8 did when it first came out. Compared to completely abandoning the game, this situation still feels far from the worst-case scenario.

The fact that so many people are complaining this intensely makes me wonder if the game is actually going to be really good. I wonder how much they're going to charge for it lol.

chill bro, i can wait slow pace might mean there are many bugs or a lot of content, this is free content.

I’ve never played DnD before and I’m not very good at English, but through trial and error I found a meta (100% win rate). It’s really simple: just use Peter as the healer, Anna, Charlotte, and Dr. Frost. Try to pick damage rewards every time or mana. Your character will keep getting healed continuously, and Charlotte’s Skill 1 seems to make your damage gradually increase with each hit sometimes going over 100+ damage.

The only issue is that the stages are so long that they don’t feel worth the rewards. But overall, everything is fine. The only thing left is… I kind of want to have sex with her on DnD outfits they’re insanely hot.

I’ve never played a game that uses AI this well before. This game is truly excellent it gave me the same kind of enjoyment I felt when I played Tsumamigui 3, something I haven’t experienced in a long time.

I hope their future projects will also feature management systems and engaging progression routes like this. I’ll definitely be looking forward to supporting them.

Thank you for the great game. The first time I played was version 1.7, and at that time there was a progress bar showing the game was about 60–80% complete. But in version 1.8, that bar is gone. I’m wondering if the game is close to being finished according to your plan.

Also, once the game is complete, do you have any plans to continue developing this game or expand its universe further?

I agree that money loses its value in the late game, but I think it actually makes sense. By that point, you’ve become a superstar and already purchased every item available. Naturally, money becomes easy to come by. As for those who say it's too hard to earn early on, that also makes sense—the character is a debtor looking for a new job. That struggle is what makes the game fun.

If they want to make it more engaging, they should lean into the game’s tagline: Peak City: where you can rise and fall at any moment. They could adapt this by adding events that cause passive income to drop sharply or introducing recurring expenses for assets you already own—like car maintenance, studio repairs, internet bills, or even random robberies. Being a "big spender" and blowing cash on girls until you're broke could be another mechanic.

The debt collection events are actually a good idea, but the scaling is off. Having a debt collector show up for $1,000 when you’re making $10,000+ a day doesn't make sense. We also need content rivals who provide much stiffer competition in the late game.

Regardless, reaching a point where money becomes meaningless is almost inevitable in this genre. From my experience, the only way to keep money relevant is to ensure there’s always something to spend it on. This game is unique because we play as a Starmaker top star, so earning money is as easy as being a real-life OnlyFans creator.

Personally, instead of just focusing on the money balance, I’d rather see them make the Starmaker website more complex. For instance, being able to recruit people you meet on the street or throughout the story to collaborate—offering them high payouts—or sharing half of the weekly earnings with Anna once her relationship reaches level 3 or 4, since she is, after all, your partner in the page.

I'm new here, very impressive game, I love how you presented it all in Polaroid form, it's very greater if we can zoom to full screen H CG and can see all was take picture in own pc, There is no need to present dialogue because it is a photograph, But I would like to put this idea last. I would like to see you create more new content. Thank you for your hard work.
