hello there,

The game has always have manual save and slots. And now with 1.8 it was increased to 999 save slots.

hello there,

The saves are located in locallow.

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Arvus Games\

I do read them; some just cannot be answered since I cannot give a yes or no without spoiling... others are just the regular questions that get answered 20 times a day lol. 

Hello there,
what is the username and i'll review. Most likely is one of the hacked accounts, make sure to sort that out and make sure to have 2fa active

Hello there,
sorry, the game is not going that way, the only male character to have this kind of relationship to mc will stay to be only River. (Btw the guy at the parking lot is Jack)

Hello there,
you will need to wait and see, as for now, the share route we have shown as decision is with Norah.

Hello there,
those already exists. As for the meters, those are not needed as only Anna has path by interactions, the other girls that have multiple routes are defined by the players decisions. As for the change of hairstyle for specific scenes, you can see Anna with a different hairstyle in one of the endings we have shared a pic of. Though it won't be a norm.

Hello there,
it's ok to suggest things, but no, animated scenes will not be done. And to the case of "it needs it badly", not really, there are a lot of good games out there that do not need animations to stand out, is it a plus... yes, but there is a different from that to "needing it badly".

Hello there,
no NTR route will be added. All choices will be shares and only if the player itself choses to do so. There are exceptions like Haniya, who is in a loving relationship and will not have solo route.

Hello there,

there are other things being added. We are close, but NOT this week close.

1. Sharing has never been forced, except for Haniya for obvious reason.

2. It will stay like that since Adrian is part of choices that come after that option is presented. 

3. No full gallery Will be made. If one is done it will be only for non repeatable scenes.

No, esa foto es un inside joke con otros usuarios de discord. Se han posteado adelantos anteriormente, los ultimos siendo del minijuego del coffee shop

hello there,

Do not speak without foundation and try to give misinformation. The delay situation has been advised and an apology and explanation was given. Updates, progress and sneak peeks have also been posted.

Hello there,

do not spread misinformation, we had advised no other posts would be made here until the update but that works is being done and the progress was steady(this was little under 2 weeks ago). Not long ago pictures and a video about one of the minigames reworked was posted on discord and I just added it to the post.

Hello there,

no, everyone gets the updates at the same time

Hello there,
if Mario won't talk with you is because you declined doing something for him. As for Sofia, no, you wont find her anywhere, you told Mario about her so he handled the issue.

Hello there,
While is true that previously some lettered releases have had some extra content, it was content that was thought out after the release and was implemented together with bugfixes. The "As for the 'more content' a lot of it has historically been catered to a very small minority shouting loudly on discord to have it" is not really true, everything is taken into consideration if it makes sense and Kal himself wants to add the content.
 I can 100% understand that some people might feel uneasy about the development taking this long, which has never happened to this scale before BUT there are things that are not really right, the developer of anything has full control over the decision of how to release the content that is being worked on, there is really no need for an answer for "why all the extra content couldn't just be in another update?" as it was decided to be done for 1.9 to reduce the time needed to add such content and polish near the steam release after 2.0.

 Some work has been shown of what's to come without giving spoilers, and some reworks have also been shown, is not like there has been full radio silence since the last update. There are people that say the last update was last year, even though 1.8B (yes, is a lettered update for bugfixes, but it also included a decent amount of content) was around 4 months ago.

This part I don't see how it comes to be a point "If there were at least some more explanations/updates or teasers of what is actually coming". Again, yes, the deadline for the given estimate release was missed, but an explanation, and teasers were given.

 Also, on the topic of people that might worry about the update, I can understand it maybe from a newcomer, but most of the complaints come from people that has seen previous updates, that have seen work has been done with Starmaker and that has been advised WON'T be abandoned and will be finished with the 2.0 and steam release updates.

Alo,

dejame explicar un poco en como funciona este comentario. "El creador factura una cantidad considerable al mes", quisiera ver de donde sacas esta informacion. Espero no te refieras a una cantidad estimada de patreon, que no solo no es correcta ya que patreon adquiere parte de ella, los recursos van al equipo tambien. Starmaker es solo hecho por Kal(el creador) pero Arvus tiene otros miembros y el projecto principal, en el cual el arte es completamente creado por un artista, animado y programado consume dichos recursos.

No hay una "factura considerable", y los "recursos" son destinados al projecto principal.

Gracias a esas cosas y porque starmaker usa AI, es por lo que starmaker se mantiene y se mantendra gratis.

Espero esto pueda aclarar un poco.

Hello there,

sorry on that, thats just how rng works, but the frustration is understandable.

Hello there,

this would create to much of a load at this point, maybe for specific scenes but won't be implemented as "show pubes" like some renpy games do sorry.

Hello there,

where have you seen an attack on someone asking an actual/genuine question and show me the mod that did it. 99% of the questions are always "when update?" Or "why is taking this long, it should be out already" to which the answer is always 2026/when is done.

In regards to "is never enough to justify the wait, especially for the use of AI". You're either not seeing all the content OR  worst, thinking this is done by clicking a button that says "generate" and stuff appears. The code is done, the minigames are done, all images and sprites are modified manually after initial generation, some things are fully manually done. 

The amount of content on each update for a title that is free, done by a single person, with this amount of polish, that is not even a main project and that it has been usually updated every 3 month is unheard off.

One thing is feeling frustrated with missed release dates, a different thing is talking without foundation. I eager you to either instruct yourself in how a development process functions or try to do it so you maybe can get to understand how things are done and how much effort something takes. The use of AI for the making of starmaker is not a "ntr phone" kind of work, it actually has effort.

b-but monitors are output devices...

Hello there,
unity has issues with input devices, so anything extra like controllers, extra keyboards and such can cause issues.

Hello there,
The first one is unlikely to happen, as for River with Anna thats unlikely to be the case, most you can get out of that would be the fanart.

Alo,
poca posibilidad de que sea integrado ya que es mas un lugar para la escena con Josef y Adrian, pero no imposible. 

Hello there,
the game will be open to mods. Is a bit different since the game uses GC2 but it will be as facilitated as possible.

Hello there,

Starmaker is done by a single person. As per what caused the delay, just as advised before its mostly due to feature creep, being bigger than initially intended.

Buenas,
- No tendria sentido ya que el transcurso de su mision es sin sexo hasta que llegas a tener 5 corazones. Se han añadido acciones que mejoran or afectan su estado.

- Ya no se añadiran mas distritos.

- Habran mas eventos en otras partes del mapa.

-Ana tiene una opcion en el guardaropas luego de 4 corazones, no deciso si mas sera añadido.

- Una de las funciones de los finales es comprar una nueva vivienda y mudarce con algunos personajes.

- Improbable, se tienen en cuenta las personalidades de los personajes.

- Adrian se mantendra en solo irse con los finales.

Hello there,
This seems to either be a troll message or just plain rude when stuff has been shown, AND after reviewing your other messages in the forum its clear is with either ill intentions or just to be negative and look for approval. You can spend your time in other forums.

Have a good day.

Hello there,

I don't expect it to be days since testing also needs to be done, not just finishing stuff. But I dont expect months. Not a guarantee tho, only Kal knows the full extent of what he is thinking.

Hello there,

I expect you selected Anna’s route (which is the share) when talking to Charlotte. Just need to do Anna raw at the studio and the scene will be able to progress next time you go to the yacht.

Hello there,

the initial promp at the entrance is what opens the quest, but to have the continuation you have to have both completed Sam to the point of having sex with her, and have done Anna raw at the studio.

Hello there,

his mansion is at the same location as always, the hills. If not there, you declined to work for him.

Hello there,
there has been more feature creep, but it shouldn't be far away, progress has been steady.

Hello there,
as advised, before:
1. It won't be done as it would increase the work substantially since there would be an insane amount of variation for every single scene.
2. Maybe

3. That kind of modification during a project needs to be done early during development, the project is near completion, is too late for this kind of change.

Hello there,
the game will continue to be free here on itch, the steam release will be completely separated and will have an exclusive character and its quest.

Hello there,
negative, the whole thing started for an incorrect estimate, no estimates or dates will be given anymore.

Hello there,

there are no plans for a mobile version, it won't be considered until after steam release.

Hello there,
the user hasn't said the people are complaining about the content, he is advising how people WOULD complain when certain things wouldn't be added. 
People can question it for sure but not start saying there are "broken promises" or other things users have said. The reason why is taking longer has been explained multiple times, and the dates for release have always been advised to be estimates. I won't go deep in the topic, is true that the estimates have been far off, but the content increase (which was already advised) is also a lot more than planned. 

Hello there, 

you can play with the resolution option or play in windowed mode and expand, but yes, not all resolutions are available and working.
