Ren'Py Star Periphery [v0.6.9] [VoidPilgrim]

[Mharzel]

Is the app is in your homefolder (such as Downloads for example), and not in a folder that belongs to the system ?
An administrator is still limited on what he can do outside of his home folder. Granting Full disk access might indeed help here. As last resort, put sudo before the chmod command, as mentioned by Kingtom13 in his post.

It's in the downloads, I typically just extract it from the zip then click to play. There's no request to grant full disk access nor is it present in security and privacy section.

I allowed terminal full disk access redid it and still "Permission denied" did the sudo thing it asked for my password, placed the password and still "Permission denied".

Granted I've been downloading the file from Mega, I haven't tried downloading it from other links in the description. Maybe I should try other links in the hopes that maybe it might be different from mega?

Check file flags
ls -lO ~/Starperiphery if you see uchg
Then run
sudo chflags nouchg ~/Starperiphery

thnen run xattr again
If issue persists its SIP protection google how to turn it off -courtessy of apple...

and yes source of files like mega can cause quarantine issue...

Using ls -lO (path to app) will indeed give more useful information, such as current permissions, ownership etc. You can run it on the starperiphery executable found in /Contents/MacOS as well. Please list the results.

It never hurts of trying a fresh download, and when unzipping, use The Unarchiver instead of the build-in archive utility.

Also Mharzel which version of MacOs are you on ?

Apologies if it's already been asked and answered, but slogging through 300+ pages to find the answer is a bit much - what program were the background renders made in? I don't think I've ever seen a visual novel with this level of detail and atmosphere in the renders.

I wonder why all the futas in this game have almost the exact same body type. Little variation in anatomy.

 

[Mharzel]

First off I don't know what I'm doing but I ran -lO ~/Starperiphery and -lO~/Starperiphery, I get "-bash: -lO: command not found" and "No such file or directory". I have downloaded both the mega and the workupload version both give the no permission. As for my Os I run Big Sur ver 11.5.1. I don't think this is an issue since the previous versions of the game ran properly.

Edit - I just downloaded the "The Unarchiver" best app ever it works now, I don't know how or what it did but I just opened it with the app and it works. Thanks!

It's pretty simple, it's the creator's choice. It's not going to change, so yeah, there's not much you can do about it, man. The choice is to look for another game.

Dr. Iris is a professional at her job, but Lise is still number 1. With that being said does not having the enough stats the "too big enough" like a skill check lead into some lines or scenes not showing up or no?

Hoping that they won't be weirdly slow and non-impactful like many 3d games. Call me crazy, but it's nice when a character is described as fucking hard in a scene and the animation actually looks and sounds like they are indeed fucking someone hard, instead of barely moving their hips.
Looking forward to animations.

Well that and something akin to:
- Here's 1 image.
- Here's some ero text.
- Here's another image.
- Here's some more ero text.
- Here's a "end" photo

Where the images + text completely fail to lock together into a single, continuous flow—so instead of actually feeling the intensity most likely occurring, "aka immersing themselves experiencing Lise in all her Glory-" , the rhythm building panel by panel toward that final moment we've come to love from VP, you’re just jumping between random frozen shots in time and walls of text that refuse to share the same pulse. The story never actually moves linearly with the visuals; the ending gets shattered due to some weird disconnect, the immersion dies, and you're left there thinking to yourself:

"Fuck, I'm going to hit the spacebar/click a button/wait for autoplay to advance, and fml I'm 99% sure the text is going to read

1. [Character 1]'s member throbbs... [Character 2] explodes... Character 2 splatter's deeply.
2. [Insert a black screen]
3. An instantaneously sudden burst of emotion when you proceed to read: 3 days later you...

Repeat this experience until you reach the end and you're final thoughts are:
"Fuck. I should have expected that."

Versus so far SP's scenes end with saying to yourself:

"Fuck. That was hot. More.... Please"
+
Forum posts of "When's the next release? anyone?"

In ending, I'll say that I don't feel much worry about this as VP isn't someone that comes off as a dev that would invest time/money into something that would lesson the quality level of the Game/Story.

Glad it worked out!
As for the ls command:
You probably made a typo: the command is ls -lO (l = underscore L). ls lists basic information of a file. The -l option means "long" = extra info, such as permissions and ownership, which were the issues here. The -O means including file flags in the -l output.
As for the file path, I advise dragging the file (that you want info from) into the terminal window instead of typing the file path and file name. The latter is more prone to typos IMO. Just keep in mind there should be a space between the command and the file path.
The output of the ls-l command when applied to the StarPeriphery file (found in /Contents/MacO) should start with -rwx (read-write-execute). If there is a - instead of that x, there's no execute permission, so the executable file can't execute . That's what my post about the chmod command was all about.
And finally, when you say "First off I don't know what I'm doing ...", I would advise to stay away from sudo

No, just a couple of phrases change, nothing more, the general meaning and narrative remain the same.

Yep you made typo, but good -unarchiver app did the job not marking game with unwanted flag as would built-in unzip utility do. now you know that when you dl mega or other sources not friendly with apple ecosystem use unarchiver not osx built-in utility.

I haven't checked out all the posts but what kind of release schedule does the creator have? like is it once a month or once every 6 months? I'm curious because its been 3 months since a new release has come out and I am wondering, should I remain patient or should I start preparing to look for other games?

There's no exact schedule, but the developer typically updates the game every three to four months, followed by a month-long fix for any potential issues. Regarding the upcoming update, it's almost certain to arrive in time for the New Year, perhaps a week before, but you'll have to wait another month or so.

I wonder if there will be any mystical content, at least in the main character's dreams? I think many would appreciate roleplaying with vampires or demons...

I know star periphery wont be done anytime soon, but I hope void will one day make a fantasy themed futa game.
With everything he learned and will learn from making SP it would be a masterpiece.

Considering the intervals between updates and the fact that we haven't even left the station yet... I unfortunately can't share this optimism about his work on anything else...

I would like a story with knights, soldiers, kings, and mystical creatures. It may be a fantasy that is already saturated in the market, but in the hands of a skilled developer, I am sure everything will turn out very well. Void is an amazing and dedicated player, and any other game he comes up with in the future will be a BANGER.

I mean, if VP wanted to make individual scenes, he could probably do some hyper-realistic VR thing. That’s what Futadom World did. Twink-Kun would just go to the VR place and they hook him into the system and boom.

It would allow him to have a fantasy scene or a cyberpunk scene or a gothic horror/ero scene or some bad end stuff or whatever else he wanted in a way that made sense. It would probably be pretty easy to do, at least in concept.

the question is whether or not he and/or the patrons would want to make that. Time spent working on these scenes would be time taken away from working on the main content.
