I doubt that anyone would seriously consider voicing all the dialogues in the game. I think he was referring to the sounds of slapping, moaning, the sound of a chastity belt clicking, and so on. However, even with these drawbacks, I want to say that you are creating a very cool game.

More sex sounds are certainly planned!

Almost sounds as if you don't have "Star Periphery the Movie" planned.

Don't tell anyone about the movie, the novel, and the TV series!

Hiring an animator would certainly be an option. Although it should be noted that if someone knows how to animate well, they will be quite probably already be busy with their own projects! Regarding an inherent market value of (good) animations, it's one of those things I particularly don't require myself, but they certainly ARE a massive boost to both interest and income.

Finally, when I'm talking about sound/music update, it is not something I will be doing myself. One, I don't enjoy working with sounds/music, and I don't think I'm particularly good at it, either. And two, it would be a fairly major blow to the development speed. This also kinda answers the "sounds when" question; once I make a deal with some skilled sound designer! All in all, it's a pretty similar topic as with the coding: since the most excellent The Masked Man took the mantle, I don't do it anymore, yet old stuff is being reworked, upgraded, and new stuff is being added!

I would argue that at least a portion of these are not really reasonable. Voice acting, for example. The game is nearly 300k words (for comparison, The Fellowship of the Ring is ~180k) at this point. A solid amount of it spoken word, too. The sheer amount of voice acting needed for that would be staggering, both in game size and, more importantly, in the amount of work voice actors would need to cover even a portion of the game. And that's not even talking about how to even afford this amount of voice acting, about organizing multiple voice actors, doing QA of their work, and doing all the sound editing needed. And that's before you even start putting the voices in the game. The impact on development time would be massive, to say the least. There's a whole host of other problems related to it.
Sure, I could just let them voice a little snippets of dialogues, but that kinda defeats the point in my view. Not to mention, it ruins everyone's already existing idea of how each character sounds. I don't think SP is simply a suitable project for voice acting, I'm afraid.

With all that said, there WILL be some voice acting in the game; namely, some of the Codex entries will be voiced, similarly to the original Mass Effect! I'm actually in the process of selecting a voice actress for that, so if you have some tips/favorite VAs, let me know! Preferably smaller ones who already do futa content.

Sound effects are being worked on, and there will be a dedicated sound/music update fairly soon!

Not sure what "gifs" were supposed to be, but if we are talking about animations, then yes, these will happen once I'm happy with my animation skills! But again, they will be only implemented on a limited scale; animating an entire game is simply not viable (nor reasonable) for a one person.

As far as "cinematic scenes" go, I'm not sure I understand that. I think that the game already has some fairly cinematic scenes!

Personally, I would prefer there to not be animation. Or at the very least have a way to disable them. I much prefer just having lovingly-detailed still images. It allows me to look at all the little details, and having too much movement going on makes it difficult to fully pay attention to what the text is saying.

The thing is, none of those things make a game better in any serious fashion. A visual novel is about two key factors: The visual bits, and the novel bits. Fancy that! It's almost like the name actually means something, huh? :ROFLMAO:

Jokes aside though, the idea that sound and animations would not only enhance an AVN, but even be required to make it good? That really is downright fucking stupid and nothing but. If all you want is animated porn scenes, Hell, the Rule34Video site has you covered in pretty much every mainstream fetish or variety you could want. And I will not judge anyone for enjoying those; they are great if all you want is some mindless fap material.

But on the other hand, what makes this game so damn good is that it has an excellent sense of presentation and cohesive structuring, creating a vivid and immersive world, with some of the juiciest looking visuals anyone of us are liable to find. And I'm not just talking about the futa ladies and their cocks, either! (Though they are definitely "juicy" at the very least. Holy shit! :love:)

And while I really don't consider this game "the best" in any broader sense of the word, it is nothing short of absurd to try and detract from its overall genuinely high quality because "it doesn't have voice acting." Really, come the fuck on. Aside from random moans in sex scenes (and even games featuring those are in the minority, really) how many visual novels have any kind of voice acting? And of those, how many actually have even halfway decent writing in both quality and quantity? :unsure:

Heck, even the Persona games, which are like the highest quality you can get for a visual novel In terms of presentation, aren’t fully voiced.

So many games also sacrifice text on the altar of animation

OMG, I almost feel spoiled for choice when it comes to dominant muscle mommies packing more meat than Arby's, then I came across Markala. I've always had a thing for muscle mommies and hung ladies but also being a Mass Effect fan I'm also a fan of BBG's (Beautiful Blue Goddesses), and Markala while not an Asari is very much blue and beautiful but also is hung like a horse (pretty sure she has her own or similar toy over at Bad Dragon ). I NEED to know what is the minimum anal and oral stats needed to have fun with her properly.

EDIT: I went back to Markala's to see if 16 anal and oral stat was enough (well it wasn't 16 until after a scene with Cyn happened mid-job) and apparently it was. The night with Markala gave me an additional 19 anal stat and also tested my willpower to not immediately grab my Hitachi and start having some fun of my own.

Hello, I encountered a bug and received a log, where should I report it? The bug was encountered when you first meet Markala and then work for the goblin girls. It happens when the goblins send you to the loader with the alien guy in the truck and when he pops up it bugs with an interact bug or something? I'm running 6.9 update

Afaik, the code works the same as on desktop, so it should be only a matter of looking up where the saves are located, and then following the routine in the walkthrough. From the little I've read while googling this, however, it seems that you might need root access or some external app. But please, don't take my word for it, I'm a horrible pleb when it comes to Android/phone stuff in general. Sorry!

That is a known issue, but still, thank you for reporting! You can safely ignore it (you will need to do it a few times), and it will let you through, no worries!
The fix will be coming with R7.

This is a know bug and will be fixed in next update
See this post by the dev: https://f95zone.to/threads/star-periphery-v0-6-9-voidpilgrim.142747/post-18108893
In the meantime, you can get past it by clicking ignore a couple of times

it was already confirmed that Markala and Tessa had sex with eachother, so i guess its just a matter of time.

i hope for some more Voyeur scenes for teasing, just the MC fucking everybody gets repetitive and boring eventually.
