The amount of dialogue kind of bothers me. Love the characters and the renders. Just the amount of dialogue is tiring to get through. That dev time and energy would be better spent on the characters and scenes themselves in my opinion.

Not saying that world and character building is unimportant or bad. Just feels like that could be done more succinctly.

Just curious, are you comparing this to your experiences with other VNs or is this just a general opinion? Obviously you don't have to be comparing it to anything else, your opinion is valid as a standalone observation, but in the context of VNs as a whole, Star Periphery gets to the sex scenes very quickly. On top of that, a large amount of the dialogue is sexually charged (Lise crawling over you in the vents comes to mind), and in a game about domination and submission, the mental aspect of the sex scenes (dialogue and context) is almost as important as the physical sex itself. I'm very happy with the current dialogue to sex ratio, especially since the story is actually pretty engaging so far, which is something I've literally never thought about any porn game ever up until now.

EDIT: I suppose the point I'm trying to make is that at a certain point it stops being a VN and starts being a collection of barely strung together sex scenes. I'm not a fan of blueballs either, but I'd like for a VN to stay a VN, and by VN standards I think Star Periphery is in the perfect sweet spot in terms of VN stuff to actual sex and don't want that to be tweaked in case it ends up not going well.

If you're new to Renpy, you can choose 'unseen text' in the Skip option under preferences. Then hold CTRL down to skip past all text until a choice appears if you feel the need.

Yeah so far I'm also happy with the text balance. You need dialogue and descriptions if you're going to have the poor MC strung along by different characters in different ways lol.

It's funny hearing this, because to me one of the big positives of Star Periphery is that it doesn't take too long to get to the porn. In comparison with most of the other VNs I've played, SP might as well be sprinting from one sex scene to the next with how fast it's going. What's impressive to me is that it maintains this relatively fast pace without compromising on story/character interactions and without making how you arrive at the sex contrived in some manner. It's a sex fantasy, sure, but it's not a stupid sex fantasy, and the way you get to each of the sex scenes actually makes sense and doesn't just feel like "okay X amount of time has passed, here is your regularly scheduled sex scene." The ~2 hours of content in v0.1 had more sex than most games on v0.3 and still has a more interesting story with better developed characters than just about anything else I've played.

A lot of other games with futa appear to have you used willingly or more often not willingly as a cock sleeve right away in scene 1, eg. Tales of Andro, Village of Centaurs, Femdom City, CoC, etc.

The time I spent with this build it was nice, a bit of shower teasing, etc. sexual but not sex. For me anyway if I want to its easy to find the money shot with futa online, but with this I enjoy the fact it feels role-playable, realistic or at least a semi-normal world, cock-teasing, etc.

At least that is how it feels to me, and I really like it.

For example my fave character in Tales of Andro is the Brothel Madame, simply as she is the most "fleshed" out character with the most role playability.

But don't punish the developer for someone else's mistakes. The game is excellent and you should try it, especially after a new update is on the horizon.

Especially don't punish him for something I didn't even do. If you're mad at someone spamming on 4chan then be mad, but leave me out of it, or better yet don't let what others say or do influence your opinion of something.

Hey! Just saw this one

Could anyone tell me if there's good animation in this game? Specially in the H-scenes? It's a big turn-on for me

Thanks

There are currently no animations in the game. VP has made a few statements about possibly doing them in the future once his hardware is upgraded.
