In my country, there's a saying: good things don't come easy.(好事多磨)

I’m starting to think more and more often that a version 1.9 doesn’t actually exist.  :'(

You’re not wrong. As a complete, playable game, 1.9 doesn’t really exist yet. That’s what still has to happen, the developer has to take all the existing parts, create new ones and assemble them into one finished version....

(+8)

Could you at least let us know if there will be the updates we’re expecting this month?

(+5)

Will the steam version of the game support Steam achievements/ trading cards when it eventually releases?

Hello Dr.Muramasa,

i'm a an old fan of the game and the community at large and was a member in the Discord server and my account got hacked and an Ai caused me to be band/kicked out of it and now i've retrieved my account back and i was wondering how can i rejoin the Arvus discord server?

Hello there,
you can just try to join, if you still cant then it means invitations havent been restored.

thank you so much!!

我想知道游戏什么时候更新。是在九月,十月,还是更晚?

Is there really no one else who wants a gallery as much as I do?

"Please wait another 7 months"

Which actually means "Please wait 11+ months" lmao

“Endings are now dynamically tied to player progression and choices rather than a static presentation.”

Cheers! Is it what I think it is? A Fallout: New Vegas-style ending slideshow? Considering New Vegas appeared in Samantha's hacking mini-game, could there be New Vegas fans at Arvus Games?

holy FUCK alright now I definitely understand why there's been no updates. this is incredible!! Thank you so much for the work you and your team have been doing for this amazing game, it's been one of my favorite games for a while now.

Welcome aboard the waiting train. one of us.... one of us....

same here, never though I would wait for a nsfw Game Update like this in my life xD

(+3)

I wonder if we would have already received version 1.9 if not for the unexpected decision to redo all the graphics?

(+6)

i hope they do more with the live stream like to where you can invite more girls

First of all, I must praise the excellence of this game! However, it seems that because it’s currently free, its development and updates progress extremely slowly; it’s like the GTA of the Hgame world. Are there any games that are quite similar to it that I can play in the meantime? The wait is really frustrating... From a CN player

Hey, here's my list of games that I personally like, but they have a completely different style (I suggest these games because I value quality content/pictures and don't bother too much with gameplay, I'm delighted with Starmaker Story, and the games suggested, but to a lesser extent, I hope our tastes are similar):

  • ArchAlchemy-0.1b-pc
  • between-rounds-prologue-windows
  • Corruption Quest v0.1
  • Getting_Inside_Hantai_Story_Demo_Build
  • Happy_Island_Fantasy_v1.0.6.0
  • Lost_to_monsters-1_0_0-windows
  • MALE POV Gladiator PC v1.4
  • MyTrueDesire-0.3.1-pc
  • nothing-weird-happens-here-win
  • NTR_Tavern-2.00
  • ShadowsofAmbition-pc 
  • SpiritHarem-1.0-pc 
  • Spooky_Milk_Life
  • summer_break-win
  • TalesofHome-0.2.5-pc
  • TheRebound-0.10-pc 
  • lustbound_valkyries_0_1_6_free

are you a supporter of this project or just a casual?

Just gaming and masturb...

Well, if u were a backer, I could understand, they’re taking too much money for this update, but as casual players, we can’t really complain.

Thank you for your reply. I’m looking for games of the same type that have a similar visual style and a similar number of female characters; most of the games you recommended don’t meet these criteria.

Yes, Starmaker Story is a unique game, featuring unique graphics (even though they are partly AI-generated), well-developed characters, a compelling storyline, and a world map. You won't find another game quite like it. That is precisely why I will make every effort to buy it on Steam in the future.

The lighting looks amazing! God that pool image looks 10x better, the pudge on all the characters stick out way more. Keep up the good work and hopefully you can finish in time for the holidays.

Patreon alone brings in almost $15,000 monthly. While I understand development takes time and can be quite challenging, it hurts when a game as good as Starmaker is so vague when it comes to its development cycle. I'm glad it's getting the time it needs to produce a good update, but we've heard very little about when we can actually expect any real content. 

It will take the same time regardless of the income as there is only one dev. Also this is a side projest so that may be the reason it takes as much time.

(+1)

15k a month and its one guy?? jesus christ this game made him stinking rich. I should get into porn game development, what the fuck..

There are a lot of games with only one devloper and low content updates,but they have a lot of subs. Luck and skills both are a factor of your success. A good combination of both will get you anywhere. Or you can just make a NTR game and get a shit tone of money😅.

But as I said,this is a side project where he practices his game making skills in unity engine ,but his main project has a team for the devlopement.

Lamentablemente volvimos al punto de hace 2 meses, con 0 información, el último tweet de Kal fue hace un mes, entiendo muy bien todo el contexto y que es un juego gratis, pero creo que el manejo de la info a la gente se podría mejorar. Solo eso por lo demás, los te quiero mucho comunidad 

Yo creo que llevamos asi desde las ultimas actualizacion sin informacion de nada y con tiempos de placeholder todo el rato.

Better a delay or longer dev time than a rushed product. From the preview images it looks like a completely different game already and reworking all that takes time. The feature of inviting almost anyone into your house? Those variables to keep in mind and coding/writing alone would take ages I assume. I actually expect a dev time of minimum of 2 more months actually.

I say take your time since I will wait for the complete product anyway before playing it again. My backlog is admittedly way too big so I can kill time.
As long as it doesn't evolve into some kind of Summertime Saga development hell than I am fine with that. xD

My only hope is that the same care and detail is put in the promised pregnancy content later down the road. Would love to have some big belly pregnant sex scenes at the end.

For now I am looking forward to having finally ending CGs coming with this update (hopefully) so there is that ,)

Have a good one Dr. Muramasa.

Do you plan to add content featuring sex during the live stream? I don't see the big point of live streaming

(+1)

so if my math is mathing, and the 70% we got at the beginning of this thread is somewhat accurate, and progression is somewhat linear, we should get to 100% completion in about three weeks; if nothing else in terms of not wanting to give an estimate(which I understand after the community reaction the last time an update was pushed back), can we at least know if expecting an update by that time is realistic at all?

(+3)

Sadly, this exchange happened seven days ago:

heysonxx: "Good morning, Dr. Muramasa. I would like to know the current percentage of progress, given that 40 days have passed since the update indicating 70% completion. If this information cannot be shared, please do not worry; thank you for keeping us informed."

Dr. Muramasa: "Hello there, as of now we can only say is more than 70%."



The delay is because the game dev keeps adding more content that was not in the original estimate. I wouldn't anticipate a release until we get confirmation that the dev has stopped adding more content. When that happens, the update will still need to be tested, which might take a while, as this is a massive update.

(+1)

had to try ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(+1)

Calculation assuming a uniform work rate: Total duration = \(6 \div 0.7 \approx 8.57\) months Time for the remaining 30% = \(8.57 \times 0.3 \approx 2.57\) months

Note: In reality, the final 30% is often more difficult and usually takes longer than 2.57 months.

Answer: Approximately 2.57 months at a constant pace.

Mid to late October then. *sigh*

I send my best wishes and congratulations to the game's developers, and I hope they take the time needed to create and finish this great game.
