That would be Ken, no other plans for others to become closer to Anna. She has the extra park scenes for the slut route for your second question.
no animated scenes are planed to be implemented, only the animations during minigames. This is because of the time for production and work, remember this is a side project, its a matter of:
Current amount of content per version vs 2-3 animated scenes.
1. No plans on any body parts expansion.
2. There will be pregnancy, but it wont be a system per se. More like a series of events. Is not set in stone yet how it will be handled, but it wont be a "pregnancy system"
Hey Arvus, question about pregnancy.
You made a werewolf scene on anna's slut route. Is there a pregancy possibility from him in a future?
the werewolf scene is an easter egg and obtainable in both routes. Weekend characters are not planned to be expanded, outside of the possibility of Mei.
it would be cool if Mei ends up getting pregnant and moves to the peak city since it resulted in her divorce
if you are talking about having one on the game I ain't found it. if you are talking about the windows menu I typically have some kind of music playing so I dont mess with my sound but honestly I dont ever need to use the windows menu i'll be honest I forgot about it and will apologize for not thinking about that but to be fair most games have built in sound controls so It doesnt come up often. 
Feet - Would be nice to see this as part of Wednesday Yoga. The scene could start as a mistake (innocence/naiveite) and progress as Anna becomes more corrupted (Slut Route)
As a plus it would also be nice to see Anna start wearing her Gym outfit during Yoga after her visit (joining in variant)
That type of futa content - It is really not that kind of game, try something like Heritage by GeppettoPossum if want that kinda game...
1. No, decisions have consequences, and most if not all are advised on what the route is.
2. Animations will stay just for the minigames, low chance of having more like Alice's.
3. Maybe
4. Not impossible, but no thoughts atm
5. Already been thought out to implement those for the solo route
6. No plans to add more holidays.
1. It wont happen. Haniya and Gab are the stable relationship in starmaker, it wont have a steal route.
2. There wont be animations, as stated before is: current version amount of content vs 2-3 animations.
3. A gallery for non repeatable scenes is being thought out for after the game is fully completed, but is not a guarantee to happen.
4. Other might be able to join the basement later, but this will be after a specific quest for the character to join, and no, it wont be most of the girls.
6/7. There will be content with them in the future.
It might be thought out, right now you can see the path Anna inclines to under her heart level.
nothing fully set in stone at the moment, but the idea is only mc, as it would be really a problem if others could. Claudia has chances to get more content, but not a 100%
it would be interesting if Anna get pregnant on slut route and MC getting the news as surprise
good morning,
While some things will be fleshed out, do notice a couple of things. Anna is no saint, she had a "no touching" deal, but her intentions were always to let out her slutty side and was interested in mc. She wanting to get the cock picture is not because mc is "big", is because she wants to keep pushing him into doing her and is looking for an excuse, while also wants more views; him being big is a plus to her. Btw she does know how big mc is afterwards which she mentions to Charlotte on mondays(is just not directly said)
While a dialog to say "we are going away for the weekend" could be implemented, is not really a big thing, but we shall see.
And lastly, yes, there are some events out of place which will be reviewed after completion or fixed little by little which each installment.
Thanks for the feedback and have a nice day.
Hey there,
Thanks for the reply Dr. Muramasa. Yes, I acknowledge Annas nature but I hope there still will be some fleshing out of some logical inconsistencies or have some of the motives "on screen" instead of implied. Keep in mind if its Anna who wants it she should be the one to grope first, but right now MC is the aggressor. I believe doing all the mentioned things in the shower scene, a kiss maybe also, is the easiest way to address it all with just a few extra CGs and lines of dialogue. I would prefer a more elaborate approach with multiple scenes (I believe this first major taboo break and the very end "breeding" to be the crucial points in Annas plotline) but I do have the devs resources in mind.
Best wishes
"She wanting to get the cock picture is not because mc is "big", is because she wants to keep pushing him into doing her and is looking for an excuse" - Again I will use this example the hotel scene (before the cock pic) after the beach does not make a lick of sense going by this statement.
She has obviously got a glimpse of the package by this point and it is all she can think about. I always get the impression she could not care less really about Starmaker numbers, it is just a means to spice up her life from a failing marriage.
I will not let this die, the early game needs some major attention with one of the last 3 major releases.
Idea - This can be resolved with features that work their way into end game as well. One example that comes to mind is a "Hands of God" trait where the MC gets to learn to massage. It starts off with Anna having a bad back or something, so he offers to give her a rub. She tells him he is OK but could do with a little work. He then goes off to learn how to massage (This could be a new area like the gym or for a scaled back method online courses using the computer.) The Anna scene can then escalate and this opens up story progression and could fill in gaps, while also having the opportunity to be used for other characters
Absolutely. Also, the first vacation needs to be mandatory then to progress the cock pics or something. She can acknowledge his cock with either Leilani (oh god why does MC have such a...) or the night scene. And during the same vacation MC can oil her tits up with a completely normal reaction which feels as premature as the Tuesday shower. What do you think about my other points? Early game is where its at...some things happen too sudden or out of context right now.
💯on kissing now I think about. It does go from 0-1000 doesn't it. There should be some kissing progression. Peck on the cheek (for cleaning pots) > Quick kiss on the lips (early in corruption maybe some dialog "Sorry that was a mistake, I should not have done that") > Then to full romantic/passionate/seductive kissing (depending on playthrough choices)
Right. The dish one feels right, or for buying groceries (no acknowledgement as of now) a peck as a reward and the third time around it lands on the mouth or something. Tongue not before BJ. All groping not before BJ or some (clothed) groping event where the subsequent gropings make sense, something along the lines of "help me up...mhm...what are you..." as I outlined. Or massage as you said since she complains about back and therefore does yoga, and some progression there from safe zones to ass to tits.
cannot make a vacation mandatory, even less when specific actions need to be taken for the night scene to trigger. On the topic of sudden changes, yes, the game moves fast, and not everyone can be pleased. Theres a good chunk of users that want a slower and more meaningful transference from one point to another, while others want to get to the full spice. The way that it is now is a good middle ground.
Again, ideas are not bad, but not everything can be done, not everyone can be pleased. And yes, theres some inconsistencies/"plot incoherent moments" that are noted and will be fixed in the future.
It was meant as "is not just because he's big". She does care for the starmaker numbers, she likes the attention. As previously stated, yes, there are some inconsistencies and early game can be fleshed out, but, some things are not just fully presented to the player and instead are just briefly said on dialogs. Not that the idea of the massage is bad, but the groping is ok right now. She wants it, but also wants to play it as is not her.
I would think this would be very unlikely. Games with a school/college setting have a very hard time getting through the Steam approval process.
Dr.Muramasa, is Kal at least gonna post a teaser picture soon to softened the wound? ☺️
Sorry think you missed the intent of this request. These bullet points are items that could be part of dream sequences.
Dreaming of stuff that will already happen (e.g. blurry image of Anna going Nude using content which is already in the game) before it happens)
Dreaming of other characters in the studio and bedroom (quick contents with a couple of lines) as what if content)
My other bullet points are just ideas for a little fun as part of dreams including content that was made but will never be used. Then also have a little fun with some ideas such as quick cheap animations and different art styles. Bit like a behind the scenes feature.
No worries, no missed interpretation. There're no plans to introduce dream sequences, and the only way in which a character will be shown at the studio is by actually joining it, which will have a quest related to it for that character to join, this last point we have already stated and there's no plans to change it. Same for the animations.
You say that 😅 But that is not what I am asking. I am asking for a fun way for the developer to add some fun content or some scraps they have laying around which could never used in the game proper and at the same time using the function as way to expand the story. Every developer/artist has stuff on the cutting room floor and I am sure Arvus is no exception.
Not to come off as rude but it would be nice to have some insight into the release management of this project at times. This forum can seem like a bit of a void, with standard answers being yes, no or maybe. Never that a story (feature request) or bug will be raised and triaged with Arvus Games. Some roadmap or progress report would be nice if not for this project for future ones. (For examples Breadman handles this really well, and even his typical response to a community post is "F Ourself" 😅)
I understand Starmaker is a side project, but still it cannot be healthy working like this when it seems like nothing is truly focused and it is one project to the next.
This is a side project done only by Kal when he isn't working on RS; there's no roadmap because there's really non. If we would make a roadmap for things that are not set in stone, then people would complain when the idea changes or if it's not implemented, just like the complains about the farmlands not being part of 1.6. On the bugs side, we answer from time to time if is something known and that if it is something that will be worked on, there's a bug channel on the discord and that is managed constantly.
Requests are taken into consideration but ultimately is decided if it will be done or not, but not how until the update that will feature it comes near. Major parts of the update are what's advised here on itch, just like the post says, the major focus this time is: The new Harbor zone, and the characters that will be receiving more amount of content outside of Anna are: Emma, Frost, and Astrid.
Content I can understand but surely bugs need to be on some kind of internal ticketing system with replication steps and severities or they would just get forgotten about when working other projects?
There should be zero expectation of any release, though tiding up the process as you go has to be done. I mean for example the first post in this forum states:
Which we know is now a "maybe" so it should be removed or least have note like "(Should it be low cost, upon release of 2.0)" This type of stuff curbs expectation.
Heck I would be happy if Kal posted "Gone on holiday for two weeks, see ya later losers" from time to time. Communication is obviously a blemish which has been admitted by Kal himself in the last Patrion post for Starmaker, though nothing appears to have happened yet?
"I am asking for a fun way for the developer to add some fun content or some scraps they have laying around which could never use in the game proper".
I did answer to that, the game does have scenes that were not implemented because those didn't make sense for the game/ something else was done instead, but those won't be done into dream sequences, not in other ways.
Glad you are enjoying the game. There's a lot of routes and things to discover, most ppl find new scenes even when think all is done.
As for harem route, right now is only Anna and Charlotte, once the endings are reworked "harem route" will be tops 3 girls, ofc you still can be on solo routes with the others.
As for official relationships: Kate, Toni, and Himari (to an extent) are official relationships, Kate even having an ending.
Astrid will receive content in 1.8
As for things to spend money on, there will be more, but is not really a main thing that's been aimed for.
Yeah hoping one of the last updates will focus on Starmaking. Though updating legacy images will be a lot of work with custom costumes and appearances.
Maybe just sprites can have customisations for the open world, and there is a section in the Studio that allows you to take an image of the custom Anna sprite with make up and costumes you choose?
There won't be different outfits/looks for Anna's standard sprites as this would require a sustancial amount of work for the amount of cgs already in game. More outfits will be added and used for specific scenes/events just like the new outdoor photos.
Elaborate on what do you mean "group interaction is only one thing"
As mentioned just make it a studio thing, and let us change Anna's expression, posture, accessories and outfits. Then take a picture, but not like the standard CG picture just a screenshot with the Polaroid frame. Bit like when you create a character in an MMORPG? Could even turn into a mini game where Anna gets requests from subscribers for different looks?
The issue with this is that is not suitable, just something simple as let's say: 3 expressions, 3 accessories to select from, and 3 outfits would mean 27 different cgs created, for a single posture, to account for the combinations that can be made; add 3 postures and you see where more issues lay.
If everything continues as planned, yes, there will be one more invite to the studio.
Surely all CGs do not have to have so much focus and manually done though. For a bit of a fun mode it could be done with AI? That being said maybe not a studio feature then, but just a little pass time feature in the wardrobe? Would be really nice just to get to customise Anna in some way, maybe if not this Arvus can think of some way to appease this long asked request?
As mentioned previously there needs to be some consensual aspect of Anna's sharing
Hello there,
more scenes that can regularly happen have been added to such places (park's bathroom scenes, park scenes, mall's boutique and bathroom scenes, and others) and more will be added in the future, some will be like the secret scene at the beach.
As for scenes where Anna would be with randoms at either the house or other places, no, this is unlikely to happen, and it won't be on the described way since it would not leave player choice to it (not giving Anna money for a ride shouldn't and wouldn't make sense; she has her own money and this would mean a scene out of player choice since you wouldn't know until you see the scene). This is also a matter of balance, the listed choices would only work for slut route, which already has some amount of content over love route.
Hi, I love this game. Based on what you mentioned earlier, I think you're capable of it, especially in Starcon. There, Anna can meet and collaborate with male content creators with the protagonist's consent. I truly believe this addition is what Anna is missing. Also, for me, the slut route is the most exciting and comprehensive because it's the most branching, and unfortunately, I think you haven't utilized it fully.
Have a nice day
Norah has good chances to receive scene(s) once the continuation of Alice's quest is implemented. As for the kitchen sex for love route, its being thought about since at the moment she only has the kiss, and the plan is to balance both routes as much as possible.
thank you for your time for reply. As for milking barn - will you add more characters there? Would love to see River or blond news reader there
No plans for Chloe outside of making her page visible on the starmaker page just like Celestes. This might change, but non for now.
Sweet thanks for letting me know, getting to see her page is something at the very least 👍Hopeful we get at least one last chance to say goodbye to Chloe before its over 🙏 ... gets me thinking how the game will end ...One last run around quest or it all ends in fireworks like the intro kinda hints at, but I guess we will find out when we do.
Hardly doubt it would be worth the effort the way Steam is at the moment.
Key points regarding adult games and the Steam Workshop:
There won't be a toggle, you either interact with the character, or you don't, there is no need to interact with any of the Futa (not trans, and there won't be discussion on this topic), nor the Femboy.
That's way too many scenes due to the number of outfits; specific outfits have some scenes tied to them (more will be added) and the others will stay for photo taking only.
While we are aware the targeting system is not optimized is not meant to be fully rewarding, just a way to get some money at the start of the game so players can have the choice to get some extra money.
There is not much to say about how the field work works, you go to a part of the map where the phone icon on the left lights up and call Anna for a quick pic taking. (This is currently bugged as it doesn't light up always, but it's getting fixed for 1.8)
No more futas are currently planned, as of right now there's Phoenix and Claudia with content, and Rose which will stay just for the starmaker content creator page.
Maybe you'll change your mind about Rose. Selling the game on Steam could boost sales. The more diverse the content, the more interest and the more money.
Negative, Rose was a request from a raffle winner, just like other requests from raffles, is a one time/ one place thing.
the raffles are stopped until new notice, probably wont be another since there are 2 choices for the winner, either a new model for the page or new scene (making sense) for existing characters not counting the models. Making the scenes take longer to be implemented and most of the previous winners decided wanted a scene.
So yes, is a no for the foreseeable future.
Here you go zzztopzzz, a Harbor concept design seen as Dr.Muramasa is not in the spirt of granting wishes today 😏
1. This has a chance to happen in the future, right now you are able to go to the club with her via calling her for a photoshot.
2. Ms.Kimura has more content on the way, no eta on when it'll be added.
3. Unlikely, but not impossible. Sam is a character that's "finished" and at most will get 1 or 2 more scenes, same with Ken. Mc is basically filling the part.
4. While is possible that Nyx might receive something extra, is not on the plans atm, we are happy for how she is at the moment. But again, possible.
If River is on slut route and sharing with Josef, theres a chance for Josef to join in when you are having sex with him on Friday's visit. During Halloween, if sharing with Josef, theres a scene with Alice as well. Theres also Amelia nipple suck at the coffee shop.
so much missing content by my gameplay.... have to start all over again, but i'll wait til new version
BUT, i have another question, when Amelia 1st time come to barn she mention about using milk in her cafe. Will we see this actually happen?
I think it gonna be hot to see one of the girls pour milk to a coffee straight from the sourse
Yes, thats the scene I was talking about on "nipple suck" either solo or with Josef if sharing with him.
As advised by others, we will never give a set date, so far the plan still continues to be to release by the end of November.
It wont really die, is just completed. It is highly unlikely to push past 2.0. After the steam release, the plan is to have a break period and then move to the next side project. Good things come to an end and the next doesn't have a reason not to hit the same as Starmaker. We all love starmaker, and the next side project will be worked on with the same enthusiasm as Starmaker has been developed with.
However, its always great to see the support Starmaker receives.
Oh, that's a shame. I hope you change your mind at least a little and maybe make a version 2.1, or whatever you can afford depending on sales success on Steam and if the community asks for it a lot (sorry for not giving up hope that you'll add more content).
Will the next project have similar graphics and a similar gameplay mode? I love the graphics and character designs in Starmaker.
(I hope it will be the same type of pixel art and character design).
Thank you for answering my questions!
Tell me again why we cannot at least have some crude animations when Grok can create them in seconds 🤔
I understand this might not be to everyone's liking so maybe an option to turn them off and have static CGs. But really think it would add to the immersion of Anna's teasing and becoming more corrupt
Now try not to be too mean 😅 Roundscape is the golden child, it does have a very dedicated and equally grumbly fanbase. The main issue between the games however is that Starmaker settings wise is a complete opposite theme (Fantasy > Slice of life) it will make it hard for the games to share visual assets and as a result require more time spent implementing content in to Starmaker. A lot of suggestions and feedback has been introduced into the game since 1.1, and I will expect we will see more before it is complete.
Kal does make money through Patreon subscriptions and through the sale of the back catalogue of games on Steam. This allows him to focus on his games with no commitments to publishers, this is a healthy approach to game development. An area where I will agree with you is on the analytics, Starmaker does generate the most interest of all of his projects, which is evident in the engagement on his Patreon and X posts. Though at the end of the day the choice is with him, though I am sure he is aware if he wanted to follow the money a game like Starmaker is where it is at.
Grok Imagine is an AI tool allowing you to provide an image and enter prompts to create an animation
It allows you to create videos with near to no effort
This will be a fundamental change! I personally feel that the positive effects of such changes would far outweigh adding some stories or secrets, as there are already enough story explorations and secrets at present. The theme is perfect, if those small photo scenes are made into larger GIFs, it will enhance the level and quality of the entire game!!! More players will strongly support it!!! Please forgive my lack of proficiency in English.
In before Dr.Nope reads all that and comes in
I would not expect the camping trip to be expended upon, never mind more to the Slut route as I think the focus on refactoring previous content will be more in line with filling in the gaps in the Love route with an aim to equalise the amount of content in to both routes.
Happy to be proved wrong though..
Except for the "degrading" talk part as the user suggested, it wouldn't be impossible to happen. But you yourself answered why it would not happen / not in the foreseeable future. Its not saying "no" because everything is no, some suggestions either dont make sense, are not the aim of the game, there's something else that takes priority, or the project is to far in development.
All good so far, just seeing an increase on the "they dont care about this project", "suggest so they can say no to all". So just having a word, I'll be indeed doing a post in regards to that, just like I said in another response. I dont want to repeat things but also dont want to leave the comment as "not seen/ignored" thats all
Meh, you can Ctrl + F "they dont care about this project" on every single game page on Itch with a thousands results. I understand the sentiment but both Itch and Patreon are echo chambers and the Roundscape Adorevia Steam Forums are void of community engagement with most people still expecting the 6.9 patch from 12 months ago. As I have mentioned before Kal is the master he can make a game about GILFs riding Unicorns if he wants, but some clearer communication would not go a miss.
For all of Kal's projects I know I have used this example before but a bi-weekly progress log like Breadman does, could curb a lot of negativity
In reality it tells you feck all, but at least can look at it an say are that is where they are at. Also it would maybe refrain Kal from last minute adding a new game in the game and setting the timer back to zero 😅
Sure like I say, nothing over the top just an overview where things stand should be enough. The point is to reduce communication not entice it 🙂
Negative, this is plain no concent from the mc, this is not the intention or aim of the game. There won be any scenes were the mc is not aware of what's going on and not actively approving of it.
Sad times for me, but I understand. Your game is still amazing and I look forward to what is to come.
Wrong game for that. Not because is super bad, just because it has nothing to do with the concept nor world of the game.
Outside of the first requests for kissing progress which can be kind of just added around, the others are no/ heavily unlikely.
Getting to the master bedroom is tied to the status of progress of the relationship between Anna and Josef so it would need rewriting of how is handled, which is not to be done at this stage when there's only a couple updates left. There are no plans to add heavy "cuckhold" scenes BUT there are plans to fix the issue where if Josef stays at home, but Anna is not being shared you basically only lose scenes.
This changes to be added include solo versions of the events only available while Josef is at home (like the hiking trip) and solo events for when Josef stays but is not on a share basis.
Do have in mind this are changes that are not a 100% guaranteed to happen but have pretty good chances.
1. There are endings but most will be only Mc + girl(s) or Anna with the household or just Mc
2. There is a chance this is done, no guarantees, but there is a chance.
3. Unlikely for it to happen as Mario is pretty much a "done" character, just like Samantha.
4. Either 1.9 or 2.0 will focus the endings as these will be reworked.
5. There will be pregnancy but it wont be a system, the most likely thing will be either tied to endings or a series of events.
6. Next version will bring new minigames, the biggest one thus far has been DnD and there are more to come.
7. Yes, there are plans to try and make it so that the Ken-Sam route can have Ken invited to the basement, no ETA but there are plans.
8. Likely but not guaranteed, as of now only the share breastfeeding is in game.
9. Will NOT happen, Charlotte has a really set-in-stone opinion of Josef, she will not have share content with him.
10. Unlikely, as said before Mario is pretty much done. Also Josef has a set opinion about working or being around Mario.
From Dr.Muramasa I am not sure it is anything to do with anyone not liking it and more to do with the fact River received a substantial amount of content in 1.7 and as they are not listed to heavily feature in 1.8 and we only have 2 major releases left (3 if you include the Steam release) I do not see much more content for River getting added. Though that is all up to the developer at the end of the day, heck in 1.9 River could end up getting a boob and dick job and become a Starmaker full on nymph with men pets, we can never truly know...
There's good chances, more for Himari. Nothing guaranteed ofc, but theres a good chance.
Hello there,
decisions are meant to be impactful in the game; this is not a ren'py visual novel where you can just "let me go back because I fucked up". The game autosaves at the beginning of the day after the morning interaction and you are able to manually save at the room (it'll be 100 save slots with the new version). You are NOT LOCKED out of seducing Katarina unless you arrest Mario before doing so, as at that point you would be ruining her life, so no, you yourself caused that. You don't need to consult the walkthrough as long as you are paying attention to the dialog, what characters say, and the kind of person they are; if that is not to your liking, this is not a game for you, is just the reality of it.
There is a notebook function, once you wake up, check the calendar the same way you would check a notebook, there are not that many items each day that needs to keep checking. "Cucking" already exists in various places in the game and while not much, there's a BBC scene.
On a last note, is not really grindy, if you do explore and do things you find around, get experience and unlock traits, the game is pretty simple.
I figured that the intention would be to make things more "impactful", but honestly, there's no reason why rejecting a person a single time would prevent you from ever being with that person for the rest of your lives, and that's in my experience what happens in the dialog decisions for a majority of the characters in the game.
In terms of grinding, my problem wasn't that the game was TOO grindy, in fact that's what i like about it, the slow progression is fantastic for the immersion. The problem is that you can only save once a morning or by manually going home to your bedroom and saving, whereas it would be a lot less clunky if you could simply save at any location and start off there or even save during a dialogue scene. There are too many moments where I'm basically wanting to close the game, pause it for some time, or come back later or something but I'm in dialogue or far from home(and yes IK you can unlock fast travel.) and so it's just inconvenient and worse sometimes it feels more pragmatic to just lose my progress which is just dumb as heck, especially considering it does actually take lots of real time to do the "chores" of incremental progress especially when having to navigate the slow map. (btw i'm maybe aware that this game is probably much more complex than the average VN, so that's maybe why there is less functionality on practical ends that are in most VNs, but I'm just saying that it could reeaally use it anyway. Specifically I'm talking about being able to save mid-dialogue, have better access to saving, being able to "pause", adjust volume settings[IMPORTANT] and other settings mid-dialogue, for the sake of clarity.)
As for the notebook, yes I'm aware of the quest/to-do function, but all of the days of the week which correspond to which characters must be interacted with are listed off sometimes only one time by the character and then the only way to keep it in mind is by memorizing. The notebook does have days of the week listed for *certain* characters and events and interactions but it's like 10% of every single person that you can romance, and even then there are sidequests and other such things, I'm not entirely sure if for instance meeting Charlotte in the garage on a Thursday is listed on the to-do list at some point, but just for lack of a better example.(Another example is the date for meeting Toni at the bar, I saw the information once and then immediately forgot it, and I'm now almost on my sixth race won atp and I still don't know the date, she has no dialogue which reminds you, which means I'm gonna have to consult the walkthrough or just waste my time trial-and-erroring travelling to the bar for five days) Honestly all I'd like is just like a page you can manually write in for the more intricate memorizations and goals. Otherwise it's way too much to track on your own honestly. I don't want to have to exit the game to be able to properly strategize how to do it better yk
Anyways thank you for the civil response and for responding generally, I just very much prioritize immersion primarily for nsfw games, so when I came across this game, I was amazed at how gigantic and expansive(and good!) it was, but also there was just some core elements that really just got in the way of that. ty ^^
No worries. The thing with allowing the choice to keep popping up(like it would be in real life as you advises) is just regular vn mechanic to be only once with most of the characters, harsh, maybe, but is as to make decisions really matter to a character, I see your point, but is just the vn aspec of handling things.
As for the saving at any place, any time. This is because of the variables are handled, not possible at the moment without heavy investment into it, it is something that is wanted but that also requires a lot of focus.
Btw on the matter of the notebook, I referred to the calendar, not the quest log. There you'll be able to see important things like Toni's Bar date on Thursdays and Alice's visits on Wednesday.
Also, is ok to point out stuff that feel off, as long as the feedback is constructive and delivered in a well mannered way, there is no problem.
Have a nice one.
There's a chance for another character to join the studio, it would be after a quest to join, but this plan is for just 1 other character. No other characters will be added to this function.
There is already a solo route for Samantha, you lose most of her content but there is. As for Haniya, no, there will never be a steal route for her, you either accept Gabriel's share, or you don't. As for Tristan, those can be considered background npc, Tristan has no relation to them, but maybe if there would be time, it would be possible.
Alice is kind of bugged for the invitation but is getting fixed for the new version.
The route for betraying Zhen already exists but is very unlikely for Nyx to join for DnD.
There won't be a gallery, if one is implemented it will be only for non-repeatable scenes.
The Kimuras are not totally finished, and you might see more of them.
Just don't tell Kirby about being with Robert, or don't ask Robert about it. Other than that, there won't be a "steal" route for them.
No specific plans to must of those shares.
If Toni gets a share, which is not a given, it won't be a male(I'm not saying who to keep the surprise if it does happen).
Joey, as of now, will only be with Zuri.
No plans for Zuri shares. And no plans for a direct Charlotte share.
This doesn't mean the others have a chance to happen, just that it's also not planned at all.
Lana as of now is just Adrian's exposure.
At most, not guaranteed, only 1 more character will join the studio. Undecided who, it will be after a quest.
I agree with this. It would be nice if the picture was taken from behind, as if Anna did not know, since the picture you get is streight from the front/side, where it looks like Anna is looking at you while you take the photo. A rework where Anna is perhaps looking up or closing her eyes since its under the shower would have been cool.
Predictive response
1. Unlikely as the impregnation is currently mapped out be a narrow path, with the payoff implemented in the end CG (not like a Summer Time Saga game mechanic)
2. This would require a redraw off every single CG, it will not happen.
3. Think Ken is planned (at least a method of inviting him to the studio when down the Samantha path) think Master Zhen is complete, but there will sure be more share content with other characters...
I agree with two though. It would be nice to see some updated variants of CGs. For example once Anna starts using the gym, she is more flexible and toned on Yoga day's for example
1. As predicted, not something that will be done. Pregnancy content won't be a system, unless later changed, it will stay as a series of events with a payoff.
2. Variations of scenes are possible but not this as it would require a lot of work remaking most of the interactable scenes and doing just the sprite wouldn't work for consistency, and if done for Anna it will most likely be requested for the other girls.
3. Anna will have more shared content; there's plans to make the Anna route available if Ken loses his v to Samantha. Zhen is mostly completed but it could see a scene in the future (not a bad chance, but not a guaranteed)
Doctor, I have a few questions. Will the pregnancy content be online in version 1.9? Can you give me some more information that can be made public? Secondly, will there be official multinational translation in the future?
Is still undecided if pregnancy will be 1.9 or 2.0 with the reworked endings, other than that no other information is to be made public as it can change at any second, the one thing to always say is that it won't be a pregnancy system like some other games have. No plans as of now for translations, but it has been thought out a bit, if feasible and given the time, at least translation for the most common language will be done, this is not guaranteed, and it has low chances but is still a possibility. Other than that, it would depend on mods.
Hello there,
sorry, that's one of the main concepts of the game, decisions matter, there won't be a cheat mode for unlocking everything, and is anyways not possible to see everything in a single playthrough because of that same reason, different paths get you to different interactions. At the most, a gallery for NON-REPEATABLE scenes might be added, but this is not a guaranteed.
Dr.Muramasa, anime on full house share movie night or at least in Adrian's room instead of gaming. You know it makes sense 😏
1. There's no need, with the new save system you'll have 100 slots to manage that.
2. There will be pregnancy content, as always, this WON'T be a system but more of a series of events. Not set in stone yet.
3. Maybe, if the way of saving variables change or as a last change, but not planned at the moment.
I mean I guess, but the game isn't obvious what the save icon is and it doesn't say you can only save in your room, I had to figure that out way too late
It already quicksaves so I figured those points could stay as permanent quicksave points, so being 8 in total it's reasonable.
Going back to title and not being able to continue off after the fact instead of before for the endings is annoying tbh. I don't know how your game does saves but I don't imagine it's that difficult or against its structure.
Hello there,
is understandable that the way the endings kick the player back to the main screen might not be appealing to some user. The endings will be reworked in either 1.9 or 2.0 so that is something that will be taken into consideration.
As for where or how to save, since some time ago a button showing most important HUD elements was introduced, is the "?" icon at the top menu.
As in the OG post, the Gallery might happen, it might not.
But I am with you on the X times lady fun times 🙌
Aye it was too tempting to post under this post, but I will get back in my box before Dr.Muramasa shouts at me 😅
The gallery would be only for non-repeatable scenes but is not a guaranteed.
There will be more sharing scenes, and the endings getting reworked are planned (as of now, might change later), to include an ending where we stay with multiple girls (either 2 or 2+Anna) and move to a new house.
ending where we stay with multiple girls (either 2 or 2+Anna) and move to a new house
And this is where Starmaker 2 starts off.... 😭
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.

If the spinoff is decided as the next side project. It wont feature any of the current characters, nor peak city
Hello there,
1. The money system is not really a "big part" of the game, this is because there have been instances where it was harder and users didn't like it, or where it was too fast with the passive income, so this is kind of the middle ground the game reached. More things will be added to spend money on and with the new gifting system for players to get the best quality pics it'll be something else the money will be used for.
2. This is really unlikely, to not say it won't be done. There will be other secret npc around the map, but this are 1 of instances for the use of traits and such.
3. The game is to far into development as to add a time system. This is something that might be considered for future side projects.
4. 1.9/2.0, one will be focused on pregnancy, and the other will have endings reworked. The current ones are just place holders.
5. Holidays are planned to be expanded. And yes, at the moment is weird that if spending New Years with Anna there's not much and spending it with the girls it ends in Anna.
6. While most of the content is shared content, a balance for the routes and Anna's main route are in mind. No true balance will be possible but there is work in progress and planned for balance them better.
7. This won't be done, as it would require a massive amount of work for previous and future cgs. As an example, a single 3 parts customization can reach 27 combinations.
On the personal request, this is mostly seeing in the love route, but yes, is something players might see more of in the future.
Hello there,
it is fine to bring your opinion or make constructive criticism about something, however, this is not the way of expressing it.
