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

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!

Despite being still in development this is one good and entertaining game. The art is good, the idea and tropes are well managed. I hope to see it finished soon. The basics of the game are really simple and make it easy to just go through with the missions. Also would love to have some other fetishes added but overall this is a fantastic game. Simple yet refreshing with how the trope is used in its plot.

Annoying grind
And no real sex scenes.

But Good story that contributes to a solid buildup for the "sex."

I would seriously enjoy this if it had actual sex scenes and animations instead of the 3-5 pictures for the "sex scene." But hey, it is what it is.

And it's IMO better than some of the other animated trash on site.

Very nice work. The relationships and the story were perfect. The gameplay is simple but captivating and it has many original mini-games. It is replayable and I loved the title system. I hope they continue developing the game.

10/10 on the visuals, the mom is perfect in every way and for once I cared about the characters not related by blood to the MC.
The sound effects and music were good too, satisfying and groovy.
The story progressed slow enough to feel rewarding but not so much as to blueball you, more so to edge you.
I'm broke af but If you have the means and interest to support this project, please do so!
An option in the menu to skip transitions would be good addition though.

Corrupting your absurdly hot mom into doing onlyfans is a strong premise and its execution here is rock solid. Honestly surprised that Arvus managed to articulate a real game like this after their deeply flawed earlier projects.

I do have to warn that there's an abundance of absurdly oversized tits, even on the main girl sadly. There's also very little futa content and the sharing is very normie-friendly, it's the sort of nts where calling it ntr would have to be a joke.

I did also find the mid-game grind towards content simply not worth it but I was about ready to quit anyways as this isn't even really my genre, honestly impressed and hope Arvus adds more futa or NTR/S.

By far one of the best games I have played. While there's still some gripes I have, the amount of effort and love the development team has for this game does not go unnoticed.

Reviewing as of v1.5b

Pros:

• The 8-bit sounds that play during dialogue is awesome, really brings a certain charm to the game
• The BGM is unique and has various tracks
• The art (while AI) is extremely well done and honestly fits the aesthetic of the game really well
• There's a large map to explore and lots of people to meet
• There's a journal to track quests with characters
• Around 8+ hours of gameplay
• A lot of costumes and outfits to dress Anna in and take pictures
• The economy system isn't bad, a bit of a grind at first but becomes a lot easier
• There's a ton of scenes to enjoy and discover
• All of the characters are well made and have their own distinct personality.
• I'm so invested in the story and how it's going to turn out. Like I even have love for Josef, I feel bad for the guy
• The mini games are unique and interesting. For the coffee shop there's a 3x speed button which helps a lot.
• There's different routes you can take with characters (sharing or stealing).
• Different endings and paths to take in the game.

Cons:

• There technically is a gallery with Anna's Starmaker page but it doesn't have scenes with other characters and some of Anna's scenes with you are not there as well. Wish there was a place to enjoy everything.
• There's no settings at all. I wish there were settings for volume and other basic things that every game should have.
• I wish there was a way to turn off auto-save, it saves everyday and it can be a hindrance at times
• While I love all the outfit options, it doesn't follow the pacing well enough. I wish there was more time between Anna love levels so I can enjoy the scenes properly. I unlocked all of the sex scenes before I even finished 3 outfits which stinks.I'd rather have a slower progression but that's my opinion.
• I wish there were indicators on where characters are. I waste a lot of time clicking through the map to find out if anyone is around.
• The dishwashing mini-game is the only one I despise. It's too picky on where the water needs to fall. I spend too much time trying to get a tomato off the plate for no reason.
• There's a bug where the music will play after events such as Movie Night & Racing, even if you have the music setting turned off

My wishlist for this game:

• More Alice and Charlotte scenes!
• More fetishes and poses to be explored
• A way to take more than one picture in the studio per day. With all of the outfits and porn scenes available to shoot, by the time you're done with every pose for every outfit you'll be 80 years old.
• Indicators to show where people are on the map
• Settings upgrade & autosave off switch
• Better gallery (maybe make the studio into a gallery when not in use)
• I don't see the need for some perks like groceries and other things. Like there's a 125k option to have groceries done for you?
• More personal info on Anna's Starmaker page
• A place to display your mini figures

Conclusion:

If there was an alarm to ring, I'd ring it now. Drop everything you are doing and play this one. There's a lot of content, the development team loves this game and is pouring a lot of blood, sweat and tears into this one. While there are a few things I have issues with, the amount of good things in this game drown them out. Play this game and wait for the next update and then play that too. Play. This. Game. Now.

Technically, it is one of the best uses of Unity I have seen on this website. The game feels professionally done and sleek. The models, unfortunately, all share the same body type, with only minor variations of absolutely ginormous titties.

The story is fine. At best it can be described as above average to the genre. You only really get 2 routes, the sharing and non sharing route. Of the 2 the sharing route has all of the content of the non-sharing route, but with extra scenes.

The biggest issue I've had with this game is the pacing. The beginning is slow but there are plenty of events to do while you start to collect money. The middle point is the worst. There's huge scaling in the price of necessary items to progress the story, or items that add novelty to routine events. By the time you get to the end game you have more money than you know what to do with and scaling stops being an issue.

4/5. I would give it 5/5 if they fixed the mid game scaling issue, or added a 5x speed to the work mini game.

A lot of content, good art (the best AI art i've seen in a game yet), dialogue flows well, updates are progressing nicely. If you haven't tried this game yet, it's in quite a good stat right now, but will be even better with time.

Probably one of the all time best games on this website, great premise, good system for earning money, everyone should try it, the only thing you have to decide if you want a "wholesome" relationship with the main lady or a sharing one
