Kazekake, you have asked the same question multiple times, you are not going to get a different response. Let it go 😭
In all seriousness, our only hope for animations at this stage is if the Starmaker Spinoff gets selected as the next project. Then it is built from the ground up with animations in mind. The time to push this point is when Starmaker has been released on Steam. For the time being you will just get a simple no.
I completely agree. I hope sales are at a high level to motivate a spin-off and further development of the universe. This is an extremely grand and large-scale project where you can give free rein to your imagination. Sorry for the English, I'm working with a translator.
Hello there,
Good that you are enjoying the game. There is 0 intention of abandoning the game, but having said that, the last update will be 2.0
1. This won't be done. It would be a huge modification of the current system.
2. No plans to do this, as is not really a feature that the game aims to do.
3/4. Could happen to add other locations but it's unlikely, the casino is a no for that kind of minigames.
5. No more vacation spots will be added.
6. Has been advised before, if a gallery is made, it will only be for non-repeatable scenes.
7. Some npc have house locations, it is unlikely to add more as there's a lot of npcs.
8. There is plans to tie a purchase of a house to the endings once those are reworked.
9. Negative, no other girl will have a Starmaker page and at most, only 1 more character will join the studio (after a quest for it).
10. Anna's clothes won't be customizable.
11. Most of those have routes, characters in Starmaker have personality so not everyone is fine going into a relationship with mc.
12. There won't be changes to existing characters.
13. A solo route for Japan is planned. Its undecided how it will be handled but Samantha nor Alice will be included.
14. Unlikely to happen as the "phone" is basically a skill to call Anna for outdoor pictures, not an actual mechanic/system of the game.
15. Could happen as an Easteregg but is unlikely.
16. There are chances but always keep in mind new characters are kept to a minimum as the plan is to increase the current ones content.
17. There won't be content for these characters as those are raffle winners's requests. One could request for winning a raffle, but those are stopped.
18/19. Maybe, but have in mind the invitations are for "relationship" girls.
20. Won't happen, Mc will remain mostly "slightly visible"
💯 Really hoping for more Porn and Sex Toy options in the Studio before 2.0, after over a year of playing the current options have got a little stale...
This is something that's planned to be done if time allows it. It makes sense to allow Anna share if Ken losses his virginity to Sam.
Oh, maybe there will still be ticket skipping. Do you remember the situation with 1.7? It may be updated on December 31st
Then it would be wiser to write 31. For example, I was taught that if you're not bound by a contract or something like that, always set a later date. If you do it earlier, no one will scold you for it, only praise you.
It was moved to Friday because a good amount of ppl was advising they wouldn't be able to play the update during the working week and so a weekend release was decided as it was advised on the "Delay" post thats at the top of the board.
I cannot wrap my head around what you are saying sorry Doc. I can understand delaying for getting more engagement for pushing a game live on a Friday on itch or you need a little more testing and bug fixing time and even getting the Player Walkthrough Guide ready. But purely pushing a release because some feedback was I am busy on Wednesday does not make sense to me at all?
Really not a harsh critic, I am just saying it is a little confusing?
Hello there mate,
Nice to meet you, 9 - 5, art making, and mod. Please don't make assumptions without knowing.
Great post, Dr.Muramasa's response is going be fun to read for this one 😅
You being for real, even in my prime Uni day's I could not keep up with the MC in this game 😭 If you mean outdoor photo's I agree it would be nice if the developer added a sex option after taking an image. That being said I would also like it if there were more opportunities for photos and interactions with Anna at home and around the map. But it is all about what the developers wants and has time for at the end of the day.
Neh, just by saying there's nothing at the beach I know already either hasn't played enough or is just complaining for complaining.
Hello there,
saying the content is limited on this game when its actually a lot makes me think you haven't played it, or simply haven't interacted with characters. Your example alone of the beach of "cannot do a thing" is already wrong when there's multiple characters with scenes there.
Instead of a phone to call the girls to have sex, the world feels more alive because you find them doing their own thing, they are not "sluts" in the matter of the word, Anna while even on slut path can be considered slutty, and will depend more on what the player wants her to do.
The outdoor call system could see more to it, but its main concept was more risqué pics outside.
Honestly, of all the things said, I only agree with what my friend ckyman said, being able to have sex with Anna after the photos would be cool
I don't even think it needs to be in every photo, but in specific places like the park's bathroom and maybe at the club
It would be fun to take photos in various places to try and figure out which one is suitable for sex after the photos are taken
like anna at toilet in park or at club or unable to call her to hotel or taking a pic at the beach but can't do a thing without sharing route is not so cool and as for the scenes like in the club or in the toilets or at the starcon, [the feeling like you can't eat what you see while starving] is not optimal. Also at starcon there is only gangbang. You are much better than this devs, don't just go for ntr, there are plenty of sluts in harem too
Well, brother, Kal said that he has been rushing to work. He stayed up all night working on the project, just because there were too many things updated. Give him more time.
Fans would not have been so disappointed if the author hadn't published the date so casually.
I am very angry that once the date has been announced, it should be fulfilled instead of consecutive postponements
i rather have a working game then one that doesn't regardless of if the scheduled update is postponed or not, i see no point in being angry because someone is trying to perfect their product(doing their job) before they release it. i can relate to disappointment but not being angry about it, if anything id be angry if they just release a unplayable game/new version not testing or fixing things, just putting it out there with no clue if its working correctly or not is worse then delays, but i doubt id be angry for that either :P
If this is a question for me, then this is not a game, but one of the works of this author https://www.youtube.com/@l3kkoi
I agree.
In fact, repeatedly postponing release dates is a common occurrence in my line of work, which usually means that issues keep surfacing during the final testing phase. However, last night I saw a post where the author claimed the delay was to allow some users to enjoy the game over the weekend—this gave me real hope that I'd be able to play it today. But now it's clearly evident that wasn't the reason at all, and I find that really disappointing.
If that's the case as you said, why not just perfect it first and then release the full version? The current situation is just constantly changing the release date and making us wait. Why are there still bugs every time after the release? If what you said is true, you should release a game with absolutely no bugs.
While I understand, main issue is really communication and time management.
The game is in a early access state, we are testing a game that is in development. The information screen on Itch should not say Released and be changed to In Development
A quick bi-weekly status update would give people a lot more insight into when to actually expected a release. Nothing overly complicated, something simple:
Kal ensuring the availability of all Mods, Testers and Content creators, before speculating a release window
To name a couple suggestions...
Bugs: Regardless of how polished a game is until it is in the hand of the people they will never be all squashed. There will be multiple environmental factors that will not be met in automated and manual testing e.g. Windows OS Versions, Drivers Versions, Hardware Variants... it is unrealistic to think any game will be without bugs especially for a developer who is one man band.
His last excuse for not fulfilling the promise made me laugh; I even thought he had already completed 1.8.
I am Japanese, so please understand that my English is not very good.
I work for a game company and do development, so I know how difficult game development can be and how many unexpected things can happen.
But what people are criticizing is why they lied. Why was it postponed from the 10th to the 12th?
Didn't they say the date was changed because he said many people be able to play the update on weekdays?
It would have been better if they had been honest and said there were a lot of issues and no idea when it would be updated.
If that were the case, people wouldn't be as angry as they are now.
He said "It was moved to Friday because a good amount of ppl was advising they wouldn't be able to play the update during the working week and so a weekend release was decided as it was advised on the "Delay" post thats at the top of the board."
And it is a lie to say that something is complete when it is not.
Please don't tell me he never said the word "complete"
We all know what he meant
Dr.Muramasa quickly corrected himself further down the thread - "No harshness taken. Made that mostly running so I didnt express it quite well. Was pushed 2 days to accommodate for a better release in the schedule and some testing thats going on and availability."
With wording now from Kal - "Apologies for the delays. Version 1.8 is our biggest update so far so we need a bit more time to make sure everything works well. Thanks for the patience!"
Seems apparent the tests failed, so its back to development and then there will be more testing...
Like you said before the main issue of these all ruckus is communication, if he would have told us clearly that he got some issues in testing and stuff and they will release as soon as problem gets fixed then everyone would have waited gently knowing that it almost completed and they need time for testing but they didn't say anything with clarity
Man, Don't badmouth the game and Dev. Its because of them we got a GOD game. While your frustration is understandable. I don't want others to miss out on such a beautiful game. I also don't want the Dev to abandon it because of the current chaos.
I mean no offence by whatever I said above.
Lets have patience and a big smile while waiting for it to complete.

Remember, that person is just doing his own business. Your blind protection of someone who doesn't understand the weight of words will only ruin him and drive other users away.
If the spinoff is decided as the next side project. It wont feature any of the current characters, nor peak city
