Unity - Starmaker Story [v1.5c] [Arvus Games]

This is a very impressive game. Tons of content with excellent presentation. There's a lot of content in this game already, and I like that it's not just some quick story to breeze through in an hour.

Now, this game does have some glaring flaws when it comes to convenience and quality of life. There were some game breaking glitches that forced me to either miss out on scenes or get soft locked. As far as I know, the game also has no volume slider and you can only save in your room. These are just pure annoyances.

But considering the game is still in the middle of development, I feel confident in endorsing the game. The game is already impressive and nails what is important and its problems are mostly technical and can be ironed out easily. The fact that this game still has more content left to be added is kind of hard to believe but I guess this already great game still has even more to offer in the future.

I'm not a fan of ai art but here they used it in a reasonable way and the art of the characters is really nice, this game has a lot of potential, the amount of content it already has is very nice for an early release, i hope it keeps getting better

This game demonstrates that using AI can achieve miracles, especially when it comes to renderings consistency. Honestly, I'm looking forward to seeing how the game evolves over time. This is one of the very few games of the genre that really interested me in terms of storyline. And despite the "little" content currently [1.5c], I already find that more than "reasonable".
So good that it makes me want to leave a rating.

This is a very nice and spicy game, all the scenes are basicaly just pictures shown quickly and some can't be repeated witch is sad, cause some girls have some hot scenes you will not see again, the lack of a proper save system is also an inssue. but all the rest is nice, the story is basic but gets the job done I feel like the scenario is where the game shines the most, the idea of a naughty and free city where gorgeous woman are there for you to conquer them. There is plenty of side content for that and the main story fun to follow. This is a huge interactive world for you to see some naughty and spicy pictures in a beatiful pixel style. Not for everyone, but if you liked the first hour or so you'll have a great time here.

To be completely honest i don't really know why i liked this game so much, but i did.
It's all AI art, minigames are boring as fuck with a lot of unnecesary grind, too much sandbox bs of "checking this exact place at this exact day". I can go on and on tbh, but nontheless i enjoyed it, maybe because of the diversity of characters, routes, the pixel art (even tho. again, it is ai generated), or just because it mostly goes straight to the porn with not too much annoying dialogue.

so...yeah, definetely a weird one for me but i gotta respect the enjoyment i got out of it so you should try it at least.

I did not expect this game to be this interesting, I haven't played a whole lot but it has some depth and story. For me that's the most important feature, something that has story and a lot of things to explore and choose from. There seems to be actual choices that change the game course of the story, like choosing "paths" with characters that can potentially add scenes etc.

And this isn't even finished yet, so if it DOES finish there is going to be a lot of content. To me this seems like a great project it's AI generated art but for me that doesn't matter at all it's still very pretty, but I do love pixel art so maybe I'm biased

Starmaker Story is a messy-but-charming adult sandbox RPG . Its strength lies in branching stories of multiple characters and quirky events. If you’ve got patience for its rough edges, there’s a guilty-pleasure gem here, just don’t expect a polished game yet.

I'm mad I played this game, it has set the bar way too high for me. I know the art is AI and i don't usually like it, but hot damn, it is so well done that i did not mind it one bit. Played it three times to get the scenes and routes i wanted and i loved every moment of it.

Easily one of the best things about this game is the dialogue, it's always short and concise, so you won't get bored reading dumb filler text. I honestly think that that played a huge part in me enjoying the game so much.
I also love the simplicity of the gameplay, just click and travel like many of the Ren'Py games, just prettier.

If you're reading this and haven't tried this gem, do give it a try, if you like half the tags it's got, you'll most likely love this game.

The game overall isn't bad. There's good characters, good writing, and good art. The problem is twofold: first, the sheer number of half-baked minigames being shoehorned into it. It's absolutely insane, and it makes the grind just awful. I've already put 6 hours into the game, and I've seen maybe one scene?

Which brings me to the second complaint: the lack of a gallery. This is a recurring theme with Arvus games. To Kaliyo (or whatever you're going by now): you are making PORN games. The PORN is the main draw of a PORN game. And unfortunately, starmaker story still has no way to replay scenes. The was slightly less of a problem in their other games (like Roundscape) because you could save whenever you wanted, but here you can only save in your room. There's no easy way to go through and just see scenes, and because of that, as a porn game, this one fails.

Simple yet fun with great characters and good looking pixel art. One of the best games on the site in awhile.

There is a bit of a grind, and the mechanics aren't super explained, but these are all easy to figure out yourself and don't really hamper enjoyment. Im excited to see where this goes, and was kinda impressed at some of the details already in the game.

It is the standard sandbox dating simminigame style so if you dont like that then you definitely wont like this, but it suceeds in that type of game really well. Enjoyed it enough to support the dev.

Would recommend.

Assuming that the game gets completed, some issues with logic/questlines get sorted out, and UI responsiveness gets sorted out, this might be the GOAT hgame. 10/10 artwork, but some of the character designs lose their individuality by being GIGA size (i dont mind )

+ Good Art
+ Good family
+ Good mechanics
+ Good Writing
+ Good Characters
- Too much grinding
- Too slow
- Small and short scenes
- Hard story progression
-/+ Mostly dunno what will i do next too much thing going on

TLDR: If you liked summertime saga, you'll love this game. Not much negative, I just advise you download and play it and rub your shaft until smoke starts to rise.

The Dev definitely did a great fucking job so don't forget to support him on patreon so he can keep making more great games like this one.


Overall thoughts:

4.5/5 would be the score I'd give to this game if I could but I'll leave it to 5 since the developper obviously put a lot of effort into a full, well done and very cohesive gaming experience.

The story essentially goes that you owe money and a bit of mafia is mixed in so your mom and you are starting an Onlyfans to reimburse the debt. The father is unable to pay so he eventually dissapears (went for a swim with the fishies) and the rest of what happens is you keep fucking anything you interact with. If this sounds familiar, it is because this is one of many games that plays and feels like summertime saga but with a different skin and in this case, the art is far better imo than SS .

Now the story is really the only part where I think this game falls a bit short, especially when compared to the rest of the experience you get whilst playing.

The map is very well done. Not too wide and not too small and very pleasant to interact with.

The art is really as gorgeous as the screenshots make it appear.

The playability is really where this game starts to shine since I experienced no bugs and no sudden halts to the quests. This is also not a visual novel in that choices actually affect your storyline. Very well coded game and none of the headaches all the other RenPy games typically give.

And finally the character development was an odd one. On the one hand the characters outside of the nuclear family are very well developped, with good dialogues and actual personalities that make you feel like you're doing more than interacting with code lines. But at the same time, the main female character, the mother, feels a bit plain, and I somewhat did not enjoy interacting with a maternal figure from the MC's perspective that feels like the typical overly sexualized female character most cliché games tend to portray. The mother has no desire and no wish and does not engage into actions, aside from later on turning into this madonna with a freaky secret sexual thirst.

Overall, this game ranks in the top 10 of all games I have played and since I really enjoy the ''motherly'' genre this is probably the second best game I've played this year. The only constructive criticism I'd leave to the author is I'd wish to see something exactly like all I've experienced in this game but with a more nuanced storyline than this one which is starting to become a bit redundant alongside other games like Taffy tales and SS.

Focused on a single character and very hot milf. Lot's a content. Artstyle grows on you. One of the best games out there. Slowburn is great, it is not a drag. Things do progress visibly and you feel the change.

I would appreciate a better walkthrough and the option to use your wardrobe for more than just for posing for pictures. Perhaps porn scenes etc. could also have dressed versions.

Absolute peak, every character looks so good. Like you know when you look at the main character among the side ones and can immediately tell which ones main and which one isn't, it isn't like that here everyone looks great. And there's so much good art of it.

For the gameplay it is quite grindy only IF you don't invest into subscriber gain skills which seems to be a noob trap that should be fixed, once you reach 1k subs the content floods in

I don't want to torture you with my bad english, so in a nutshell

It's the best corruption game on this platform.
It's currently just under 500 mb in size and my god does it offer a lot.

Pros
The story is simple but completely sufficient
The grind is bearable if you know what to do
Already a large selection of characters
The Synthwave (how ever you call it) pixel art is just perfect

Neutral
Skipping days to follow a certain quest still takes too long.
Following a certain path without a walkthrough "can be difficult"
No gallery yet (but it's not realy needed .. most scenes can be replayed)

Bad
Nothing

Conclusion
I'm curious about the next update ... without a doubt a 5 star game

Overall a pretty solid game, even though it has AI art every character has a personality and not a single thing seems generic!
The story is pretty good and I only found little to none grammatical errors, I'm hoping to see the end result for this!

All I can say this game is amazing. It does corruption right, sharing right(non of that classic NTR shit) and the game-play is fun. Playing as a guy and helping a woman build her fame as a cam model/only fans model is such a fun idea I wonder why more developers don't try it. This game is meant to played as an incest game if you want to enjoy the full experience. I love the idea of using sharing as a way to corrupt women more and this game also helps you create other incest couples if you want to go that route. Only real complain I have is getting from one place to another it's a chore.

After just one hour of playing this I already donated to this developer. To be honest I was kind of giving up on adult games cause they were just so boring lately but this game me hope.

I really enjoy this game.

Every time a new update comes out, I play it again from the beginning. I usually only enjoy games with animated scenes, but this one is the exception. Anna is incredible, 5 out 5

I think this might have the best mechanics of an adult game, the idle income, the tower defense game, the other minigames that come up, the game is actually fun to play, and the girls are insanely hot, it can be a bit grindy sometimes to see everything but still!
