Ren'Py - Stellar Dream [v0.59] [Winterlook]

Anyone familar with Winterlook's work knows what to expect, I imagine this will be more of the (high quality) same.
It's enjoyable, art (to me at least) is good/hot, gameplays fun, and they seem to have expanded on the scope of their usual concept.
-Needs more content, but strongly worth keeping an eye on.

This game probably deserves 3.5 stars today. There is quite a bit of sex, art, story, and mechanics but you don't really max out any prominent characters yet. I need a slut I've impregnated bouncing on my cock lol. However, this dev's previous title S.H.E.L.T.E.R. is one of my favorite games ever. The art style and gameplay of this title seems to be quite similar while telling a completely different story. I love it. I am confident this will be a 5 star game in the future and am giving it four stars out of good faith.

Gameplay
Controls: A clickable map, with both keyboard and mouse controlled dialogue and combat.
Interface: Ren’py interface for dialogue. There is also a stat menu, inventory system, quest log, a location changer, and messaging system. Late in the game there is also a combat system with typical controls.
Writing
Plot: Simple but good.
Characters: Everyone has different needs and wants. Most characters also have multiple paths.
Typos: Few and far between.
Art
Models: Models are well drawn.
Animations: A little choppy but still well made.
Background: As good as they need to be.
Audio
Music: They fit the genre but aren’t really special.
Effects: They do their job.
Voices: N/A.

Absolutely fantastic art, good dialogues, sexy and beautiful characters. Main story is intriguing, side stories are interesting and enjoyable as well. I really loved it. Can't wait for the next updates.

Honestly this man is a god. Not only has he been making amazing games nonstop, he makes these games with such a deep lore and an amazing art style. So of course i am giving it a 5 star review. Although it is sad that i cannot submit a higher review for it.

As said by my brothers in lust the art and development style will be close to "shelter" and "fate of irnia", two beautifull games. If you dont like them you can give a try to this one afterall.

Anyway to resume this version, 0.25, is very promising, there is a consistent story, with many choicie, a character creation system and you can guess a story where you will be a hero or build your harem on domination.

In any case with a lot of kinky content

Pros :

Love this art
Skill system and patch choice
Consistent story and art

Cons :

Messy map / Time of the day / Action possible in each area

At this stage I will folow and support this creator to see where it goes !

First off I would like to say that I played "shelter" and "fate of irnia" and the latter was the most interesting one to me.

In any case this game is in the same veins than shelter art style wise but the "direction" seems to be the same too, at least for now.

As of update 0.2 the game already have some content sex and story wise, noting exceptional but it's still better than some, for a 0.2.

What is to be expected from this game if I refer myself to past entries:
-quite a bit a different choices.
-probably at least two different path per characters
-hopefully impregnations (what?? as humans we're programmed to find it hot, it's not my fault xD)
-and last but not least a bit of lore to make it all hold together

"his" or "her" games are not the longest but there're efficient and the formula seems to get refined with each new title so if you haven't already gave it a try you might be in for a fun ride.

If there isn't enough content there for you, try the ones I referenced in the beginning of my review it's made by the same dev.

one of the best games I've ever played, very good graphics and a good story, not to mention the erotic scenes that were very well done I hope this game continues and its creator doesn't want to cancel it out of nowhere. I can't wait for the next versions.

Dont have much to say about this except that it's great. This game has a way stronger start than the apocalypse game they made. Can't wait to see where they take it. I hope we might be able to get some alien content up in here. Great work

This is only the first version and i can tell i am going to love this as much as i Did https://f95zone.to/threads/s-h-e-l-t-e-r-an-apocalyptic-tale-v1-0-winterlook.24888/ it has wonderful artwork already setting up some Optional possible genital swapping/Genderbend with the Coach asking if you had ever though about being the other gender and possible getting a subsidence from a alien that lets her temporally grow a dick. Love the engineer girl with mechanical arm one sex scene with her but i think it will be better to go down the relationship path and have multiple. already setting up multiple paths for each character and paths the characters will go down with each other. As someone who is Bi would love to at least have a seen with Tom (Twink Nurse/Assistant) Where he give you a checkup of your parts . The brothel scene one with a human and one with a robot are repeatable if you have credits, the Map's Traveling section and the Time Display could use a little improvement but its the first version and if there were more locations and not just saying Currently Unavailable i think it would be fine and id just put the time Saying Like MORNING, NOON, EVENING, NIGHT All In the same blue as the map and just have it highlight or light up depending on the time. All In all Love it Would Recommend and can't wait for next version.

Art is great, writing is definitely superior to most porn games I've played. The UI could use some work but it can be improved easily, the core of the game has a lot of potential. Definitely some of the best art on the site.

Also for the other reviewer who reviewed this game before me, holy shit you are pure tard. You're really asking for a one man dev team to create 30-60 frames per second animations for a 2d porn game? Literally no other porn game does that what made you say such a dumb critique as if it was industry standard? More frames than Disney themselves animate for their 100 million dollar movies btw. Coomer brain.

Good Points
+ Art style looks pretty cool. Girls drawings and place designs looks cool.
+ We have kind of interesting story.

Bad Points
- Time system in the top of screen is pretty weird, it could use some change to avoid unnecesary annoyance.
- Map system needs huge improves. Opening map and going somewhere is too painfull and annoying. We need map icon in main HUD instead of pressing general menu (menu we have everyting like: stats, inventory, tasks, map and contracts) and same time you should add fast travel icons player can choice, like there will be little arrow right side of map icon which opens sub places we can go. And having notice for closed places could be amazing aswell.
- There is no exit option from that general menu, its pretty basic thing and not having makes things annoying, only way to exit from that menu is going somewhere you can get dialogue with someone or going your room.
- We have static so called ''animations'' and they are awfull... While art looks amazing not having 30-60FPS proper animations is pretty big bad point, we need better animations than this. For catching up good looking art this game needs proper 30-60fps animations with good physics and quality.
- Explore mechanic can use some changes, MC getting tired to easily.
- Multiple choice questions could use some improve.

For The End
This is first relase and i dont want to be so hard, all i can say i can see the potencial but without proper animations and with bad points i write its most likely wasted. With next updates i will look again and gonna hope DEV will add proper animations and fix bad points, wish you luck with your game and i hope you will make great job.
