Unity - Starmaker Story [v1.4A] [Arvus Games]

I'm struck by the lack of other developers really creating a game like this already; the easiest kind of game to insert AI CG is probably management VNs, and it's really well inserted here. Game isn't completely finished but this kind of idea can really be fleshed out so it's super exciting and probably one of the best ways to a) incorporate AI CG without it looking super tacky, and b) actually have a good amount of gameplay hours.

Definitely one of the best games I've played in terms of gameplay wise. The AI art is surprising really well done. The sandbox aspects of the game are pretty niche as well.

My complain would be in area where they did not take enough time(by that i mean more texts, dialogues and scenes) . The relations feels a bit rushed. Should have had more build up before the finale.

Some more actives and bonding among the family members would be really dope. Adds more layers and depth to the world.

And then finally a proper ending for the harem route. Maybe move to newer place with the sht load of money they made now...

[v1.2B]

This is simultaneously one of the best and most miserable games I have ever played.

For the good, the graphics are great. Characters are varied and appealing, the story is simple but satisfying, and the corruption is well done. Some sex comes a little too quickly for my tastes, but it's not a dealbreaker. I'm about to be very negative, so I cannot overemphasize how good the actual content is. Maybe it just hits all my personal buttons, but I really think that on this front, it's one of the best games on this site.

For the bad, the actual playing of the game is awful. The save system is abysmal, and it's extremely easy to get locked out of content for no discernable reason. If you make a mistake, you need to start the whole game over again. Which wouldn't be a problem if the game wasn't so fucking slow. There's a lot of grinding involved, and you can't just bypass it with a money cheat because if you take things out of order, the entire game will break. So you need to take the slow route. And I do mean slow--every single thing you try to do comes with a ~5 second animation attached, no matter what it is. End to end, the game can take 5+ hours to get through. And of course, since it's a unity game you can't speedhack it either.

Seriously, I can't overemphasize how slow the whole thing is. Turning on the auto skipper skips the fastest parts of the game--text--and does nothing for the animations. Not to mention you need to interact with scenes constantly anyway, so it's barely better than just mashing the spacebar. The grind itself is fine--engaging, even. It's just everything around it that makes things so miserable.

There are very few games on this site that go beyond disappointment and into hatred, but this is one of them for me. I hate, hate, hate this game for wasting so much of my time on trivial shit that should be extremely easy to avoid.

Great game, lots of things to discover lots of paths and loads of content. All and all just an amazing game certainly worth a download.

I was baffled with the amount of things you have a choice in and how deep those paths go.

Good simple game with a focus on thicc milfs. It's a story about gradually turning your mom into an onlyfans slut. (I noticed there was a line of text that refers to the woman as mom, can't fool me with that landlady retcon nonsense, why is it always landlady anyways?)

The art is really great, you usually can't tell it's all AI made (I believe the pixelation helps a lot with that) and there is plenty of hot pics/scenes (although early game is a bit grindy before you get to the good stuff i admit).

Honestly it was just a simple and to the point hentai game about fucking some milfs, nothing revolutionary but good for a fap or two.

PS: Didn't know midjourney could make nsfw, thought it was censored.

Hey there, I recently started playing the game, and I’m really enjoying it so far. However, I feel like the game could use more options. Right now, it feels somewhat limited and a bit stagnant. For instance, if you answer incorrectly, there’s no way to go back, and key features like resolution, sound settings, or a gallery are missing—things you usually find in other games. The lack of options is definitely a downside.

I do love the art style, but it would be even better if there were animated scenes instead of just static images. Right now, it feels a bit boring as is. It’d also be great if there were more sound effects during funny interactions between characters , and having voice acting for the characters would really elevate the experience.

That said, I want to thank you, Arvus, for creating and sharing this game with us! I hope you’ll consider adding some of these features as the game continues to develop. I think these changes would make the game even more engaging and would help keep players from getting bored as they progress.

Starmaker is kind of like the best implementation of an AI imaged generated game. It's pretty good in most aspects. The biggest issues in my opinion is that the best parts of the game which is the starmaker /Onlyfans and slow Netori aspect of the game where you slowly steal Anna your stepmom or whatever from your stepdad can be expanded.

Outside of that the other issue is the bugginess. I've run into some softlocks where you can still progress but the game's journal that should tell you how to progress isn't actually how you progress. There is also alot of incompleteness where like some old events are still in the game even though contextually it doesn't make sense. Example is you'll see some of Anna's precorruption events where she's still not to sure about her relationship with her stepson still avaliable to stumble on even when it's end game.

The Ai issues are apparent if you are looking closely or paying enough attention. You see interiors of cars that don't make sense or outfits that aren't consistent during scenes. There one scene with Anna taking off her sweater but she's like unbuttoning it like it's a button up shirt?

An amazing game with good art an awesome LI's that aren't just one dimensional. As of writing this they also still add new stuff (New characters and paths). The paths vary depending on your choices, where the choices are pretty intuitive as to what the outcome will be.

Quite a fun game, although I personally avoid futa & gay game. The graphic is also unexpectedly great. This is the first Arvus game for me and I love it. Thank you Arvus Games, keep up the good work. I will donate through itch.io.

Scenes, cg, dialogue, great. Scenarios, situations, great.

But the lack of guidance, the inability to branch saves so you can see the different paths, makes it bad.

Almost makes it worse. You're baited by the good parts but the experience of playing the game is miserable.

A great entry into the erotic game library, honestly I'm only holding it back from 5 stars due to a few smaller things that sadly combined mean dropping a star.

Still positives first:
1. Amazing artwrok, the pixelated sprite look hits that sweet spot oh so well for me and I love it dearly.
2. Music/Sound effects, all are good though a little more actual sexual audio might have enhanced the experience still what's there is great.
3. Plenty of content that will keep going for hours long after I''ve arrived .
There is a bunch of other smaller thigns but I'm just hitting the main notes for the postives.

The negatives:
1. As already mentioned by many others the save system isn't great.
2. No Gallery mode, honestly it's more a shock to NOT see on especially in a game this long.
3. Money takes a good while to start earning but eventually it becomes as easy as breathing, basically the game starts out at it's 'hardest' before becoing far easier to earn cash as time goes on. Simply put a reversal of gaming 101.
4. It's possible to lock yourself out of endings and unfortunatly it means if you want to see different endings you have to replay the game from the beginning multiple times.

Again though these negatives are fairly minor as the core game is still enjoyable on the whole.

I know the devs have other games out as well but I would love to see them tackle a game with this style again in the future.

On the whole, very recommended.

I will revisit this review when the final product is released, just to clarify this review was for version 1.4A

I think the quality and the events and the renders and the art style are all really good and I can recommend it on this alone. The gameplay is sandbox + management style and they do it (kinda) well. Story wise it's also p solid even if it's nothing too deep. The main issue is just quality of life things like

- No ability to change time/skip days to make it easier for events to trigger
-No current location for most characters within a house or building
-NO GALLERY(biggest change needed), and no manual save system either so no way to rewatch
-UI can feel slow and transitions are unnecessarily long

I hope this will get some more overhauls and updates so its more accessible

loved this game been playing it for weeks trying to get all the paths and endings and boy there are a lot of them i love the multiple places you can take the mom for photos and how many other girls there are to date i feel like the boutique lady could use a few more scenes but overhaul a great time

Really enjoyed this one, a must play if you're into incest sharing/netorase.

However, the game really should have been created with better systems in mind:
1. Better save system
2. Gallery
3. Hints and clearer progression for each character
4. Changing places is too smooth. It may give the impression of polish at first, but then it is annoying to wait up to 3 seconds for taking 1 step.

Art is enjoyable, but I have to admit the character art feels too glossy with the same feel present in many AI generated images. Did the author trace over AI images?

A gorgeous game that revolves around creating an account on the starmaker platform, such onlyfans in this universe and a porn scene in the form of a snapshot, which only emphasizes this uniqueness of the game

Starmaker Story [v1.1A] [Arvus Games]

Pros:

• Decent Story
• There are a lot of characters to interact with
• Many likable girls with a variety of characteristics
• Top tier MILFS
• Good Game Mechanics
• Early start is kind of slow but gets very fast once you get to a certain point
• There are a lot of options and kinks

Cons:

• Some characters have very limited action/screen time. There could have been a lot more that could have been added for them. For a game with a ‘complete’ tag, that is very disappointing
• No gallery system
• Save system sucks
• If I want to see a particular path of the character, I have to play the whole game again

Despite the cons, I overall enjoyed the game.

Great game with a lot of cool things going on for it. The ai art is consistent, so it never feels jarring. In the future it would be great to have more of the areas have events to them, more characters to the game, and art for each of the endings. Overall, this is worth a play and keeping track of.

I'm not really into milfs or big tits but this game is right at the mark of good taste, just on the frontier before it could possibly descend into the realm of bad taste.

The size of the tits isn't clownish and the "women" (also the ones with cocks) are for the vast majority of the time very attractive. I liked all of the characters.

I had a lot of fun edging to this game, the main female protagonist doesn't just give it up straight away which is nice, she is extremely sexy and you really do want to fuck her.

The gameplay wasn't a pathetic grind, you have more than enough to do, there are seemingly random encounters in various rooms for it to remain compelling and makes you want to check out other rooms and locations.

The artwork is generally very good, it kind of slid in quality in parts but not to a level where it ruined your pleasure, I just thought that there were instances where the artwork didn't do particular ladies justice.

I can't really find too much to fault about this game if I'm honest, so I'll have to give it a genuine 5 star rating as there wasn't a point where I was bored or dissatisfied, very nice game!

review to the completed version:
story: excellent
art: excellent
gameplay: great
UI: great
minigames: 8/10 , i didn't mind doing them

has multiple routes and is very engaging , has some grind but it is fun, not text intensive.
i found some problems progressing the story because there weren't very obvious pointers for certain quests but i figured it out at the end.
a must play in my opinion , i'd love to see more games like this.

The art and animation in this game are just so fucking good. The way they mix pixel art and 2D graphics is brilliant - it all comes together in a style that's really eye-catching and unique. The character Anna (Landlady/Mom) in particular is super well-designed, with a ton of personality in her movement and expression.

The pixel parts have that classic retro vibe, but then the 2D stuff makes everything feel super smooth and polished. It's like the best of both worlds! The developers clearly put a ton of work into bringing this world to life, because every little detail is so well-crafted.

The visuals do a great job of setting the mood and drawing you into the story too. It's just a pleasure to look at the game in motion. Missions are super easy to follow.

If you're a fan of beautiful, high-quality art and animation in your games, this one is definitely worth checking out. The way they blend all these different styles is really impressive and makes for a super satisfying visual experience overall.

Honestly Arvus games hit it out of the park with this one, they should make more games just like, I think they learned from how popular (Landlady/Mom) characters are from the comment sections of other games.

Romance Anna help her quit drinking and run of with her that's the best Ending!
