It's pointless to compare "old" game as Koikatsu to Sunshine, as it's just released. For many people, including me, real fun is creation, not a game itself. This is a power of Illusion games.
However if players / creators would rely only on official Illusion content we would never had amazing creations, including pictures, clips (music / porn), scenes, maps etc.
My only expectation about Sunshine is better Studio, nothing more. If Studio will remain the same, I will stay with Koikatsu.
It's very likely, looking at the past 5 or so games they've released, that studio will be very similar to KK, maybe some new bells and whistles. It looks very much like modders will be taking aim at KKS though.

In short, it will take a spell, but expect KKS to catch up to KK pretty quick, and surpass it. If you're only in it for studio, there's no real rush yet though, hold onto KK, at least until loading modded KK scenes are fully implemented and stable.

For main game players, come on over in R2, when things have somewhat stabilized on that front, the main game seems a marked improvement on the original KK

to tell the truth I am attracted to everything, studio, creation of the characters and main games.

I'm stuck in the first cutscene, the girl arrives on the screen, bows and then just stand still and I can do nothing. Any help? aaaa.PNG

I don't think KK has a good gameplay, I'd rate it 2/10 (for character creation I'd give a 9 or 10). Still, I'm glad to hear it got a 'marked' improvement. Can't wait for R2! =)

It looks like there is a female uncensor in KKManager for Sunshine now (BP_SAC_Innie).

game is super lacking at this point, i also dont see the extra animations they promised maybe 2-4 new ones. gonna come back when we can gangbang 3 women with 12 guys :/ no offense but this story building as a copy paste one. content without 1k positions and animations is not content. i dont need to wait for modders to make those so, so far no money from me on this crap.

funny enough i never found new animations for the first game. either it cant be done or people just arent doing it. go look at sims 4 every day a new position, just throw the files into the mods folder and gg... no such thing here for some weird reason. I would think koikatsu would have 5000 animations by now.

You do realise that this game came out like 3 days ago? Quite a similar thing happened when Skyrim LE was relased, only a handful of mods that were bare bones worked on Legendary edition untill modders cracked that up. This is nearly the same except it's not just a re-release, rather a similar game with different premise. New systems of getting points and topics instead of vague RNG based stat increases.

I'm not expecting miracles form "new" Studio. Most of good things in game(s) / studio(s) are achievable thanks to modders. However, if Studio would be much better for some reason, I will gladly accept it. But, as you are - I'm not expecting big changes and not expecting anything designed for difeerent "Illusion engines" like AI/HS2.

I do not feeling any pressure to lay my hands on Sunshine, as amount of goods is really sufficient in KK itself, but I must admit, I tested your 1.1 Repack and for me it's just like KK-DLC. I'm not trying to say it's beetter or worse - but more or less same idea with some adaptations.

I just wish Illusion would finally return to AA2 mechanics. AA2's social simulation with KK's character creation and H scenes would be too damn good.

Either way, you're doing god's work. Thank you for your efforts.

... "I don't see the extra animations except for maybe 2-4 new ones." You just contradicted yourself there, genius.
"5000 animations" I know you're joking but that is still an idiotic assessment. If KKS can realistically even hit 100 unique animations, it would already be a blessing.

Game looks like KK 1, just with more polished backgrounds and environmental props. It's not really piquing my interest atm, so I'll wait for R2, and a bunch of modders to do some work first before coming back. Realistically, KKS should be decently playable by the end of the year.

because it technically is the same engine/game. They just brought like majority of the old content over, replaced music + environment setting and threw most of their time into the new communication gimmick that promotes running around collecting crap based on RNG, kinda like what A.I did except A.I was more impactful as collecting kinda leads to housing creation. Here it's really spam chat for progression so you can H.

From what I've read before, people speculated Illusion doesn't have a proper main team anymore, they just get a bunch of fresh creators/interns to work on the current project then they move on. Is that true, who knows. Unless we actually know what size their manpower actually is. AA2 is way more complex in development for sure, if they were to work and improve the NPC algorithm it's gonna take more effort and time than just copy pasting an existing game and sell those small DLCs. But if modders can improve the game and add new custom modules, i don't get why illusion couldn't. They probably just don't care enough.

Illusion doesn't care about anything because it doesn't have any real competition, of course there have been titles that have left their mark but nothing relevant.
That's why Illusion makes mediocre stuff every year,
KKS has a new scenario, first school and now a tropical island, new interactions, now you move around the island to look for topics, improved graphics of both npc's and during sex, smoother animations,new save system
KKS is a good game but it is no more than mediocre.
