I know this might seem like an odd question, but I’d like to know if it would be possible to add an option to change the skin tone of the character we control. I’m Brazilian and a huge fan of the game
"I knew Anna was lying when she said she could not get an appointment for her physical check-up and asked if I can take a look.... "
PS Kal it really is time to stop and start looking to ship 1.9, you can release all the content/fix patches you want after 😅
Yeah, what really confuses me is that Kal admitted he should've split this update into 2/3 smaller updates, but he proceeds to add more content to the update anyway.
dude can you stop post these images every fucking time you write a comment on here? they're big as fuc and make scrolling past them a chore everytime, plus they're cringe.
Meh he has a point (if not so elegant way with words ) I try to keep in my own thread, but get over excited at times 😅 Though it is the cringe thing that confuses me, while my images are by no means on Starmaker quality, they are on brand (with the added mix in of peoples requests and most of my own...) 🤔
Fucking loser. Takes like 1 second to scroll past them, somebody shares something they've made with the community and this is how you react?
Well Dr. Frost and Nurse Nina have been confirmed to be getting new content and pregnancy was meant to be confirmed for 1.9, so what Kal is working on now could have some relation 🤔
No I mean on the main itch page for Starmaker.. I will just post it here https://discord.com/invite/arvusgames and let Dr.Muramasa delete this post if not happy with the hyperlink 😅
Pretty sure there is one already with anna in the milk farm 🤔 Did you unlock Anna's cow outfit yet?
There is a random scene where you encounter Anna coming out of the bathroom naked; you can ask to suck on her breasts, though the visuals aren't particularly erotic.
For some reason he decided that now is the time to just remake the whole game from the gorund up
Roundscape looks like a fun game, but the schedule seems to have slipped significantly; it should have been finished by now, which makes it feel like he have to work on updates for two games back-to-back.
Goodness knows what is happening behind the scenes. Kal stated the majority of his time has been dedicated to Starmaker. Roundscape has a new 3D artist (limitiv) and we were meant to get some teases for new companions Whisper and Aylari this month. I have not seen anything stating Act 1 should not still release this year still, but it is very quiet, at least from the outside.
Releasing in November would be a death sentence, if Kal is going for maximum engagement after all the work he has put in. 1.9 really needs to come out next month or he might as well spend another month on it...
We are very much due a WTF is going on soon though...
Hello there,
while there has not been anything new since the last couple teasers(which weren't 60 days ago since I kept adding more sneak peeks), there is transparency, the images should speak for themselves, it shows the reworks, the minigames, and new character and location. Nothing deep but it shows work.
Moving forward to the next project that's one of the goals, to keep better communications.
Feel like percentages would be meaningless at this stage, what would be nice to know:
Hello there,
there have been some personal matters to attend but the feature creep seems to have stopped. The goal is to prepare the Roundscape post since thats due. Some people just want % for having a %, but i won't give any more information until advised or allowed to do so.
As I've said before, I rather just say work continues over making up a % for the sake of saying something. (This was to the main post)
"there have been some personal matters " - ah shit that puts things into a different prospective, health & wellbeing comes before game forever and always. Like I have said before though it would cool if Kal would just drop a "a fuck off, I am taking a two week break" at times.
The only percentage I will ask from this moment forth is that of Nurse Nina's breasts expansion...
faking 2 time the lauch of the 1.9 , 60 days of telling its at 70% and earning 14k every month ? And not even an excuse he just say every time that we are inpatient and not greatfull from a " solo " dev , bruh eh just need to tell the truh or to mayby be more active about the devloppement
Hello there,
missing a release (which yes, it happened a lot of times before) is one thing, but is completely different from "faking release". Also the fact some people keep bringing the "oh he earns 14k a month" is tiring:
1. No, he does not, Patreon takes a part and if you want to say the earnings is 14k, be sure to divide it properly, artists are not cheap and there are other developers in Arvus games. And none of that shouldn't even be questioned when the game is fully free.
One thing is complaining or getting annoyed at missed dates, other way different is trying to insinuate "milking", which is what some people is trying to do.
Are there really other devs at Arvus? It feels strange when no other game gets updates. Honestly, it feels like things are being covered up, leaving us with vague answers that don't clarify anything which is why I think the community is getting so frustrated, especially as the wait between updates keeps growing.
I'm not complaining about the content itself its been great but it's tough to keep the community united when communication is mostly kept to Discord instead of dropping official updates on Patreon, where the majority of supporters actually are
Minor expositions are given on discord only when is not major information. All important information is given in all 3 places, except for "extra" sneak peeks which are a single or 2 images and thats posted on both here and discord.
About having other devs, the last big post on Patreon started by advising a new dev has joined. Roundscape is in production but unlike starmaker, it will be releasing its act 1 completely.
There are many supporters of the Starmaker Project actively subscribed to the Patreon and plan to buy the Steam version of Starmaker Story when it releases. Many other adult game creators post progress reports or give periodic updates of the progress of their games, this is NOT a big nor exceptional ask. Couple this with the fact that the 1.9 update was supposed to be released April and has been postponed indefinitely leaves people justifiably asking questions for more tangible updates. Just because some freeloaders are bitching and moaning in the forums doesn't excuse the lack of info or communication from the creator's side. A literal "I am working on UI features for a new system and minigame, I will be working on it for about x amount of time, I will update you with any updates or foreseeable delays." Instead we are hit with "its coming soon" or "I can't give out any more info" etc.
100% agree with you. And moreover just because i mentioned that there is no efforts from devs on posting on social media like X or discord i was kicked out of discord.
They absolutely cant handle any cricism of any sort. If there is delay and if there is low efforts in communication from the devs then instead of addressing it these people are giving illogical justifications and excuses.
I mean how difficult would it be to say that "yes we will try to put out more info and have open conversation in the future" . But due to a massively inflated ego they cant address a simple ask.
I have waited patiently long enough. And if its getting delayed a bit more then that is also acceptable but whats not acceptable is the attitude these guys show and their approach of hiding progress or giving information.
This shows the lack of accountability and ownership they have for their own creation.
Hello there,
show me when you were removed from Discord for an actual "constructive criticism", because actual comments and conversation is done and users are not kicked. Making a joke that has been heard about a million times and trying to be funny by making snarky remarks about social media posts is not "mentioning there is low effort in communication".
To the point of how difficult it will be to have a more open conversation in the future, this was already advised it would be handled better for the next project. There is no "hiding progress, Kal shows teasers every now and then and the teasers are also post here, again, communication can and will be handled better BUT if you see a teaser of a minigame, reworks, and characters you should be able to conclude thats been worked on... but I guess is easier to say nothing has been said and is just ego.
Hello there,
Yes, there are Starmaker supporters actively subscribed to the Patreon and plan to buy the steam version, but that picture don't really show that, Starmaker is not the only game Arvus has, many people come from the Adorevia time and has stayed supporting for that long, others are there for Eclipse and of course a lot for Starmaker as well. "I will be working on it for about x amount of time" doesn't really help because: 1. Kal does a lot of "out of the blue" things, and 2. He also does other things.
Again, yes, communication should have been better but is not radio silence since the last update and progress has been shown.
I am going to be charitable here. I understand it must be difficult and time consuming to juggle multiple projects at the same time and satisfy everyone, its not going to happen and you can only do the best that you can. I also understand how difficult it is to be the middleman who has to bridge the gap between the developer(s) and the audience in forums and discord, it's a big task. However, please don't minimize what my post is about.
1) A common response for people asking for more frequent or substantive updates is that "the game is free bro, stop crying." The screenshot is to demonstrate that many supporters of this game have financially supported this project AND ArvusGames generally, that is something you admit yourself.
2) My criticism is that on the creator's side there has been very poor communication regarding release dates, updates, and timeline related goals for Starmaker, that is just a matter of fact. You're response is that Kal is disorganized and is 'biting off more than they can chew' development wise. Again, I understand and hear you, but that is 100% self imposed. Nobody forced an April release date, for 1.9, nobody forced multiple games to be developed at the same time, every timeline and development decision is on the creator's side, not the supporters.
3) Thank you for acknowledging that communication hasn't been the best, and you are right, it has not been complete radio silence and progress has been shown.
Again, no ill will towards you or the developer(s). All that I and a lot of the community ask is for more transparent and straightforward communication. If there is a delay, just say so. If there is a higher priority fix on another game, say so. That is literally 10x better than the "i can't give more info" "It's still around x %" "it's coming out soon". You'd be surprised how many people would be content and still supportive with just that.
I am not trying to dismiss the intent of your post or the validity of wanting better communication. However, I want to clarify a few key points that are inaccurate in the post:
Constructive feedback regarding communication is completely fair, but it is important that the discussion remains grounded in accurate information, actual developer statements, and realistic development timelines.
You guys keep bringing up the 14k thing over and over again. That money isn't for Starmaker, it's for the development of Roundscape Eclipse which has a whole team working behind the scenes.
So you're saying exactly zero people who support Starmaker are not or have not subscribed to ArvusGames?
You're saying exactly zero people can support Starmaker, Roundscape Eclipse, and ArvusGames.?
You're saying exactly 20.2k people are ONLY subscribed for Roundscape Eclipse reworks?
There seems to be a miscommunication regarding the point being made in the post (if it was indeed to say Starmaker has no importance or backup I retract and that information is incorrect, Starmaker is loved and supported by a lot of members)
To clarify:
