let´s gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooAll the new information is past the initial post of 70%, I don't want to change that % for the initial post so ill modify a bit.
The post was updated recently. If the time gap were short, he wouldn’t update it. So it must still be quite a while away.
You and your friends will play it anyways when it comes out, so all these words are just useless tbh.
And update will be out in 2026/when ready
Development time will be much less, cause there won't be such drastic changes in game logic and content like 1.9 had.
Reworks were hinted at after 1.8s release, but I believe the original intent was to spread these over 1.9/2.0... but Kal just kept going 😅
Yeah the lack of invites are a bit a disappointment. more to the fact the lack of Starmaking that has gone on since 1.5... truly hoping this is addressed in 2.0 that Anna's story gets fully fleshed out and we can do lot lot more Starmaking in the studio, throughout the house and in the outside world... hoping if we do get a spinoff that there are more Starmaker accounts to run besides just the main female MCs
e.g. Kate and River (with appearance changes based on their love/slut routes) would have been great to start accounts for and we could have taken over Celeste's after beating her story..
I know, but for now, Charlotte is the only one we have to invite (along with the guys: Josef, Ken, and Adrian). That said, I don't see why—aside from "given their personalities"—we couldn't invite characters like Alice, Samantha (whom we already met in *Starcon*), Toni, Himari, or Sofia, or have Amelia hang out with Anna; in fact, there could even be a story arc involving Anna and Amelia, despite their differences.
Just imagine the possibilities. Maybe creating more *Starmaker* accounts would fit better in a different game, but I can picture inviting more characters to hang out with Anna... if only there were more time and interest (both have run dry until the game finally launches on Steam).
Another scenario I would have liked to see—even without Anna—is a meeting between two girls, like the one between Emma and Katarina.
But anyway, I suppose there's no harm in dreaming that mods might be possible someday.
It’s just that all the pictures are just pictures, and this masterpiece is missing! Soon the interest will fade.
These pictures tell a story though, my biggest worry and what might be some time to add is all the endings appear to have been done before the reworks. Meaning all of the backgrounds, image outputs and character changes will need to be done again.... running full screen images through relight is not going to look pretty so this will be manual work
That response is honestly pretty disappointing, bro. I’ve been checking out a lot of forums and discussions, and there are a lot of people who are genuinely pissed off. I’ve also seen quite a few people who were banned from the community sharing their opinions elsewhere now, and a lot of them constantly shit on Kal.
All year we’ve been told the update would come out in 2026, and now we’re already in Q4 with the year practically over. I really hope 2026 doesn’t turn into “the update is coming in 2027,” because that would be a really bad look. Even the most loyal fans eventually lose faith when everything is based on promises with nothing to show for them.
That said, I genuinely wish Kal all the best and hope he can deliver on his promise. Hopefully the update makes it out this year 🙌
Do not get me wrong 💯believe we will get 1.9 this year. Just think looking at what we have seen so far there is a fair bit to still tidy up. Maybe Kal will get to state why he thinks he can launch 1.9 in a good enough state where he can do more tidy up in a letter patch or move it to 2.0. I am more under the impression though 2.0 will end up slipping into next year... even the most basic major releases take 3-4 months and we are in October now.
