Hello to the team at Arvus Games! Despite the naysayers here whose names I won't name, I just want to let you all know that many of us (which I would assume is a silent majority) do appreciate the work that you've put into Starmaker Story and we enjoy the game as it is even if it does utilize AI (which, tbh, is just simply another tool). Please don't give up on this project. We look forward to the next updates and seeing this game to its completion. Again, thanks!

You should be able to, although personally I use ReForge instead of Fooocus. (And ComfyUI for videos.) All installed via StabilityMatrix.

That's really strange. I know that the intro can be rather slow and there's no way to speed it up, but at some point you should be able to click anywhere to continue. There should be a white icon or white arrow at the bottom-right corner that lets you know this.

Also, in the game's settings, change it to Windowed mode and use a lower resolution like 1920 x 1080.

Thanks for clearing this up. Much appreciated!

The "ETA" was supposed to be a few days after the release of 1.8A. Needless to say, it's been a solid month since then lol. At this rate, I think the devs are just gonna shove the 1.8B changes directly into 1.9, which is planned to be a Q1 of 2026 release.

I could be wrong, but I think they're AI generated music.

You can passively earn money in the game. Just get enough stars to unlock these skills under BRAND. You'll earn a total of $1900 per minute, or $114,000 per hour. You can literally go AFK or do other things IRL and as long as you don't close the game you'll be earning more money than you'll know what to do with. Just be sure to save your game every now and then so you don't lose progress in case you accidentally close it or something goes wrong.

According to the FAQ guide:

Need to befriend Adrian by

• Giving him money for the trip and sharing at least 1 of the girls with him, possible choices are:
• Shared Anna  (Dont need to complete, only need to unlock by telling anna)
• Shared Samantha
• Shared Alice (You must do gaming night 3 times for it to count for the trip)

Did you check the FAQ-guide?

I agree, I think this is a great idea. Granted, it'll be a lot more work for the devs since they'll have to account for every outfit, but I think it'll be worth it as players can do something endgame.

I don't know if 1.8 changed some things, but the guide says this:

• After groping Anna enough and taking some pics at the studio with your cock you will trigger a scene where she loses control during the photoshoot and starts to suck you off. This will get Anna to 4 hearts. (After this, you will progressively unlock the sex scene with Anna.)
• Upon Anna reaching 4 hearts you will receive mail for Starcon. You can select Starcon on the weekend trips menu.
• After asking progressively for titjob and handjob in the basement and groping some more, the subsequent visit to the basement will trigger the 5 heart event where she asks to have sex and will automatically pick a route based on the amount of corruption/romance points (The route chosen does not affect any interaction/ route of other NPC the game. Anna will change her outfit in the Kitchen depending on your choice. Route affects the scenes shown at the park [3 for each route]. Slut route also allows better fan service at Starcon)

I noticed that a lot of people tend to run into the issue with locking themselves out of Samantha's route the moment they meet her because they accidentally chose the "Your son is an idiot with a hot mom" dialogue option. I wrote a response to this in the Bugs section, but I feel that it's probably appropriate to put it here as well so I'll just copy and paste it:

The problem is that this dialogue option sounds more like a trap especially for non-native English speakers, and even for English speakers the option comes off as a joke because of the "hot mom" part at the end. And for those who are roleplaying as the dominant, aggressively flirty, NTR kind of guy, you can actually get away with choosing these kinds of dialogue options for most of the game especially towards Anna (granted, she's the only one with the romance/slut system). It's only here with Samantha that it actually doesn't work, which is jarring imo. These are some possible solutions: Either a) remove the "hot mom" part so it's simply, "Your son is a fucking idiot," which makes it painfully obvious that the response is meant to be an insult and not a joke, or b) have a follow-up dialogue option (maybe depending on the player's lewd or charm trait levels) where the player can recover from their initial mistake by apologizing to Samantha or swooning her.

Alice's mom? If you're talking about Norah then she doesn't have any scenes yet. You're probably mistaking her with Nadia, the lifeguard lady at the pool. You have to choose the "milkshake" option five consecutive times then you'll get the BJ scene with her.

Unfortunately, there's no safe way to transfer your 1.7 save to 1.8. A lot of things got changed on the backend so it's HIGHLY recommended (pretty much required) to start a brand new save.

Hi, this is what it says according to the FAQ guide:

• Emma [ Seduce her but DO NOT share with Mario, after this you will be able to invite her while she’s at the terrace or the library at Mario’s villa ]
• Katarina [ Fully seduce her at the terrace until she is meowing for you and tells you Mario doesn’t matter, then you can invite her either at the terrace or the library at Mario’s villa ]

Game is progressing really well. I look forward to the hotfix patch for 1.8. :)

It's such a massive tease. I REALLY hope it means we'll get animations in-game!

While I can't speak for Arvus Games, I thought I read somewhere that they still have the update planned to be released later this week. As a side note, this is why you should never vote conservative/Republican. All they do is ruin the fun for everyone. And to those who think Collective Shout is feminist, maybe they were at one point, but I suspect they've been hijacked by ultra  conservatives. Feminism is a lot of things, such as women having the freedom to express themselves including sexually. What Collective Shout is doing is not feminism.

I would take anything that Trump does (or says) with a grain of salt. 99.9% of the time it's for his own benefit and not the American people. He's demonstrated that countless times during his first term and again 8 months into his second term. It's too bad that Trump's second win has empowered the pro-censorship, anti-feminist, ultra-conservative groups, which have negatively impacted the NSFW industry as of late.

Anyway, to avoid derailing this topic with politics, I will say this: We look forward to future updates, Arvus Games. I think Starmaker took us all by surprise considering this was, from my understanding, merely a side game. Here's hoping that things on your end will still play out as planned even if behind schedule. :)

Edit: If Anna only mentions wanting to do the magazine then you're still early on in the process. I think you need to continue playing the game until you visit her again at the kitchen where she shows you the magazine and is mad that she's been overshadowed by Celeste on the cover. From there she'll want to do livestreaming, which you'll find out how that goes.

They're skill trees so you need to start from the very top and work your way down. Specifically, choose a middle perk from any of the trees first. Also, you actually need to click AND hold onto the perk and wait a second or two before it accepts it.

Man, sorry to hear that. That definitely sounds like a bug in my opinion. The biggest red flag is when you said, "the daily saves didn't help". The obvious question is, are you using the latest version of Starmaker? And that you don't have any hard drive issues, like maybe permissions access or anything of the sort?

To get started, you need to build up your friendship with Anna to level 3 or 4 (I forgot exactly how many hearts). Once you do that, head over to the Kitchen, and she’ll mention something about being featured on the cover of a Starmaker magazine. Days later when you drop by the Kitchen again, she’ll eventually show you the magazine cover. She’ll be a bit upset at the results and will want to take things further by livestreaming. The next day, swing by the Studio, and an electrician will tell you that setting up the WiFi is going to take a while. You take matters into your own hands by going to the Mall to see the tech guy, and he’ll direct you to "Toni" in the Outlands. You’ll be able to figure out the rest from there! (Once you do get Livestreaming unlocked, it's just a matter of accessing it in the Studio every morning.) 

Pretty much. Also note that there are only a few girls that have sharing routes, the rest don't so you can pursue their "quests" without feeling like you'll have to make some kind of choice later down the road.

Yes, you can have a "harem" of sorts. You can start routes with multiple characters. The only time you're really locked out of anything is when you decide to share a girl with someone or not. Just in case, read up the guide to make sure you don't accidentally lock yourself out with anyone: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LkXWll0_8kVL23hHWWySoRwKL_4dyluPHeLQsnhvwuE/...

Doesn't sound like you're getting skills that resolve your issue. Most of them can be gotten under the Stardom tree. Get skills like Loyal Makers, All-Star, Fan Magnet, etc. Even under Creator you can get the Marketing (both levels) and Critical Shots and Perfect Shots. Also go invest in an Active Campaign. Since you're concerned about subscribers then you'll want Trial Campaign in particular. Last but not least (and I haven't confirmed this yet, but it's on the FAQ) you can complete Celeste's questline to stop her from stealing followers.

Considering there are so many outfits (which in and of itself IS a good thing), I do have to agree that it takes a really long time to go through it all. It's grindy and a blatant example of game padding. 

If you got a couple thousand dollars saved up, just go to the Comic Store and buy the Angel mini. For 25 pieces of gold, she does raid-wide damage to all bugs every second. Drop a few Angel minis on the table and they wreck the entire place. You can literally have nothing but Angels on the highest difficulty mode and you'll win each time.

It's not about the money. Hell, it was never really about paying off the debt. In the end, Anna just wants to show off her goods. :P

It's still technically 1.5 so I guess it's a mini patch. But there's enough new content and bug fixes that I think it's worth trying out now.

Win a few bike races first then eventually speak to her at the Alley where the dialogue appears. When she suggests that Anna and Adrian come along, choose the option where you want it to be just you and Toni.

You need to have perk points available. You earn this by leveling up just by doing things, like taking photos of Anna or helping her with the dishes or completing quests. Also, you need to start with skills at the top (usually the center one) before you can proceed to pick anything below.

It's rough at first, but you just need to invest in skills that gives you followers/subs/fans per photo. Also, invest in passive money income as well as go to Work so you can get some money to buy the better cameras from the tech guy at the Mall. If you want an easier time with the minigame at Work, get enough money to buy an Angel figurine at the Comic Shop. She damages all bugs per second!

That's been changed. To get the Pervert trait you have to do the Charity Car Wash event three times. To unlock this, you have to speak to the store owner at the Gas Station on Monday. But I think you need to buy car washes from her several times first for the dialogue to appear.

Depends on which one. Are you talking about the Anna "angel" and "demon" icons that pop up on the lower-right corner? That lets you know if her reactions to your choices are bringing her to Pure or Slut route. Otherwise, if you're talking about the "mini" figurines that you can buy from the Comic Store, the Angel does a raid-wide AoE attack on all bugs while the Demon does a single-target attack on a bug (but it's really powerful, sometimes killing in one hit).
