Unity - Starmaker Story [v1.7] [Arvus Games]

The game really scratches a very specific itch in my brain that wants to keep running on a hamster wheel to get more content. There is a shocking amount of depth here and just so much to find and uncover in a way that feels mostly natural and rewarding. The only real complaint i have is that while there is a ton here it does almost too good of a job of delivering more and more that when you finally get to the end it doesnt quite feel like enough. That sounds crazy but as an example there are already endings in the game and when you lock one in its essentially a little blurb consisting of a few sentences and a single image. It just doesnt feel as satisfying as i would have liked but truly for what is there it feels like a nitpick to even bring it up. The art is really great im not sure the extent of the use of ai but it hasnt compromised the vision of the game at all. Navigating the UI might need some qol theres a lot of clicking here and repeating actions over and over so navigating the map can feel like a bit of a drag over time. Regardless its excellent its worth a try and if youre like me its probably gonna keep you occupied for way too long. Good luck to the devs!

Really Good content with spicy escalating story, lovable characters and funny scenarios haha will be amazing if they incorporate animations like the one with the goth chick in the bar. Have all my love and support. I wish you all the Best, thanks for the hard work.

I'm never sure what I want out of my porn games, but something that actually titillates me has to be on the positive side.

It's not the deepest story or the most high-quality gameplay, but it knows what it wants you to do, and it doesn't waste too much time getting to it.

The biggest knock on it is how grindy it can be early on in the game doesn't account for doing certain tasks before others, and how that resolves or forgets to.

Otherwise, very fun, hope the creators flesh out what they've done here for a sequel.

Great sandbox, very nice pixel art style, a little grindy but fun. The cast of characters are all well written and unique, the myriad of minigames and story lines keeps it fun and interesting...oh, and lots of bewbs.

Lord in heaven this game is boring, its so boring that it overshadows literally anything positive about it. It has a level of polish that gives the game an aura of being well made but its entirely surface level and the game is actually just shallow and kinda buggy.

This game has easily the worst content to artificial time wasters ratio in any highly rated game, for 1 scene that lasts maybe 30 seconds of reading you will have to spend an average of 5 minutes of clicking from location to location with lag each time.
This isn't even including the stat and money farming where you have to do tedious time based minigames that are both boring, too easy and take too long they also require me to use keyboard for some reason despite not needing it.

The time wasting is bolstered EVEN further by the lack of any guidance, other than a few dialogues you are completely lost about what to actually do and where to go so you will spend even more time clicking on location and location trying to trigger a scene. The stats are unclear when they will level or what they even unlock the items seemingly do nothing, maybe they do somethingI don't know as the game doesn't tell you ANYTHING.



These issues would ruin a great game but this game is not great the dialogue is cliche and not engaging at all there's also very little of it, there is 1 character with more to them than "wow me so horny sexo time". There is also essentially no overarching story there's opening motivator and then it's ignored for the rest of the game.
The art looks good on the surface (generally, sometimes it sucks) but its seemingly bad at anything other than the 2d sprites all of the "sex scenes" suck they are presented as a few small images in little frames and they are not particularly hot and it seems completely unable to present anything outside of 2d sprites and lil photos.

The game is honestly just very light on actual content it has, few images. very few scenes. very little dialogue and no story they went far too wide so nothing has any depth


All in all its a somewhat interesting concept and the art is good for AI standards but actually playing this game is obscenely boring played for a few hours until my game crashed and couldn't bring myself to open it back up.
If somebody makes a mod that gives you max stats/money an ingame tutorial and removes all of the constant time wasters maybe it would be worth playing.


PS you are not gonna bust playing this game unless you are fast enough to blast to 3 images that display for a few seconds or are sexually attracted to clicking between menus

Starmaker Story: 10/10

I generally only leave reviews on games that I feel deserve it. There's a ton of samey style games that I try out, they're decent, but nothing special. I think what I enjoy is something unique and different. Starmaker hit every mark. I absolutely love Anna, the side characters, and all the options you have for dialogue and in the story. The game isn't finished yet, maybe 80% done? But I look forward to seeing the new content.

Some improvements I would enjoy. One character I got hardstuck on progression, due to me insulting her son. If I knew this would prevent me from progressing her storyline, I would've save scummed. Also, I would like to be able to marry Anna, even though she is in the 'slut' route.

The mini games are so much fun too. I'm only stopping because I hit all the content for now! Also, would love some foot content in the game.

Probably the best game I've played. Multiple replays, and countless hours spent on it.

Hope it becomes the main focus for the dev, Could do with more content and new repeatable scenes etc.

The only issues I had were the slow transitional animations but the dev has made it faster, next up would appreciate the ability to toggle on/off the daily payroll popup during day starts. You could move it to a on hover drop-down similar to others or completely let the user decide.

Beautiful art

the game is in a detail pixelate. interesting so far, still have some bug on quest... earning tasha coin is the hardest so. there is no gallery yet in this version after completion. hope they did something about it

story lines all over the place, characters will ask questions that there is no answers for, never played a game where you can get locked out of major story line content because you picked the wrong reply. HINT do NOT tell Samantha her sons a dork, she'll never speak to you again which completely blocks all her content and won't allow you to do anything with Adrian. it's not even written in the walkthrough.

Even though this game only has photos during sex scenes, its incredibly hot and its a really good gooning game. Highly recommend, it OOZES quality. Just try it out for yourself, its incredibly well made

Pretty cool AI sandbox game, already has a lot of content and some endings. Not a lot of content per character except for you "mother", it's mostly a pump and dump with repeatable scenes if you want.
Would have liked to have a bit more variety in the women, almost all of them are HUGE; Huge frame, huge ass, enormous tits, thunderous thighs, huge gut, you get the gist. But if that is your thing this is your jam.

The main issue with this game is that it is hella SLOW, for some reason anything that happens or any button you push has a lengthy delay or long screen transition. This all makes the game feel like it is struggling to load all the time, it is only a few hundred millisecond every time but it adds up quickly if you play a while and have to grind a bit.
The cherry on top is the ever so hated mandatory slowly scrolling text. Exacerbated by the disabling the user input while the first few words are scribbled on the screen every sentence so you can't double tap to read normally.
I sort of mitigated all this by attaching cheat engine and enabling the speed hack at I think 4 times speed. This gives a LOT smoother experience and makes the grind way less painful, just make sure you disable it before doing any mini-games

Albeit it is using AI graphics - the game is consistent in it. The story and quests are very good - on par with early versions of Summertime Saga or Big Brother. Game is interesting, choices matter, high replayability.

One of the best games on the site, I think I should probably have more complaints but honestly everything in the game is just so polished and hot! Would recommend 5/5 stars easily, first game I've bothered to review after playing way too many honestly

If you’re into DP/Sharing/Gangbangs that aren’t NTR or bully related, this game is fantastic and a definite recommendation. Art is fantastic but in a slightly pixelated manner for gameplay and art direction. 10/10

Like many have said, this is one of the best games I've played. Now from what I've heard it's made through AI and if that's the case this is the best use of it I've seen because the characters and the scenes look beautiful while the pace of the gameplay is solid. I've personally put more hours in this game than any other game in recent memory.

If I had to complain I'd say when moving around the world we cannot move quickly enough because otherwise the UI can get stuck. Otherwise, this game is great and beautiful.

10/10 game
People are hating that is A.i but this has been one of the best A.i usage I've seen. I was going to write some pros and cons but im not a game developer my opinion dont matter. If anything they have done a pretty good job of having both a sharing and nonsharing story line. Only thing I would add is more netori content from Anna of course. I mean the main premise is about keeping this a secret from joef, so I wouldn't mind more scenes like when he tries to pick up anna but MC is already picking her up but she's sitting on it 10/10 or in the wardrobe 10/10

Top quality game - even more so considering it is a side project offered for free on the dev's main page. Dev is using AI for the game but not in a sloppy/lazy way that you can often see. The concept of the game is pretty good, nothing ground breaking but there's definitely fun to be had, progressing the different character's storylines.

It is a bit slow to see all CGs and i found myself skipping past days to go into the studio mode (limited to once a day) to get through them. Afterwards, there is a sort of gallery in the form of a webpage (in game of course) with the pictures you have taken already but no way to view unique content again without restarting a save file. It has been said that the gallery is going to be part of the final release at least but as of this review, there is nothing there.

Great potential. A lot of mistakes and poor decisions that were completely avoidable for the dev. Some of these can hopefully be worked out in future updates.

Cons:

• Scenes are just tiny images that pop up, no sound and no animation.
• Scenes are AI generated so they occasionally have obvious flaws or don't look like the right character
• No gallery menu
• Game should hold your hand more. It is really difficult to microanalyze everything going on in the game with my dick in my hand
• No rollback. If I fuck up I have to load my save which wastes a LOT of time in the longrun
• You can only save in the bedroom
• Going from location to location takes too long for a sandbox latest update 1.7 supposedly fixed this
• Father and brother being a distraction (I recognize this is a personal preference)
• It takes FOREVER to get to see Anna in all of the outfits that you buy for her. You get 25+ outfits and only get to see them once per day in the lategame
• New holiday system is bothersome. They should just give you the option to start a holiday scene whenever you feel like it

Pros:

• Characters are hot as fuck
• Despite being mostly AI generated, the game looks really good. It was a smart choice for the game to be pixelated; makes the characters look less obviously AI.
• Mini games are cool. You have to play them a bit more than I would like but at least they're fun. I'm a sucker for tower defense.
• Music is catchy, which is rly important bc this game takes a while and you're gonna hear a lot of it
• Sharing is avoidable

tl;dr -- This game is extremely high quality, the LI's are gorgeous, the fetish content is quite unique -- but ALL the lewd scenes are unfortunately small (can't even be zoomed) still images with zero animations that are over in a few clicks.

This game had me hooked right off the bat, but after hours of grinding (cause this game is very grindy) I was crestfallen to realize none of the scenes were going to be nut worthy. Even the "home run" scenes with the main Milf -- who is legitimately S-tier -- were underwhelming.

The tease in this game is fantastic, the girls look great, but the payoff for the grind just isn't there. My degen brain is too damaged to nut to small, still images, regardless of how erotic the build up was.

Random pros:
-Dad isn't dead, and we don't have to be mean to him. Win.
-Surprisingly good minigames with lots of variations.
-Loads of full penetrative family content already in the game. Big Win.

Random cons:
-Single dialogue options will lock you out of entire character arcs without warning, and no roll back : /
-No sister character, wtf? Feels like a massive missed opportunity.
-Sandbox style, but there's a small delay between changing locations and talking to characters; this gets super tedious overtime when you're trying to grind.

Final thought:
Starmaker Story's fatal flaw is how close it is to being perfect, without ever getting there. I still recommend playing it for all the things it gets right.

Usually don't enjoy VN's this much.
Endearing characters, fun mini-games, good art - although it does look a bit too much AI sometimes.
Love the light-hearted nature of the game.
Hope there will be a gallery mode or ability to zoom into images on StarmakerApp in game
