I bought this game on Steam and it doesn't look much different. I don't know if the developer will add new content

I think these developers they take their time working on games like these I bet it takes a lot of time to make games like these

I don't know if I am allowed to post links to other forums, so I won't. But, the developer does have a forum, which he does not interact with much. For a few years he didn't respond at all.

As for direction, he clearly doesn't have one. In a post, he stated....

I’m considering whether it’s worth developing a new version of XStoryPlayer. The starting point could be a game room featuring a single character, upgraded with advanced physics, improved rendering, and a selection of interactive props. The goal is to go for the look of the reference image, though I still believe a 3D cartoonish style remains a strong direction. Another question is whether the focus should lean more toward storytelling or toward physics-driven interaction.
This is in the thread where he is explaining his new game.... Clearly indecisive about his direction.... The Steam drop was 100% a cash grab. For years he was silent, started to need money and started "working" on a new game, then drops the old game on steam.

I am a little bias as I did pay for the original games and then was left in the dark with empty promises. I have stated in the forums and sent messages, that I would like him to keep past promises for those who paid for the game, and he completely ignored them. Simple requests honestly. Porting the 2.0v characters to the 3.5 and the last story we didn't get.

Unless this guy drops a real, playable new game, I would not recommend buying his game one steam. I am very weary about him even finishing this "new game" or revamping the old one.

Edit: Another added bit. This new game, he does not have plans to make sexual, per his forum statements. So, you have that as well.

This game has been growling in it's grave for a while but I was NOT expecting it's zombie to appear right on steam, especially in this climate.

This game has been growling in it's grave for a while but I was NOT expecting it's zombie to appear right on steam, especially in this climate.
Was surprised as well, last time I checked the development it was few years ago when he/they were working on a brand new engine to support PBR rendering and it looked very promising, but the lack of updates is a clear indication that he/they either lost interest in developing the game, or simply ran into money/time issue (because lets face it, developing a game takes time and resources, you can take 10 years developing game on large budget if you don't have a lot of time, but people won't wait, so less people will pay for it, thus no money and no time = no game, you could try to make the game on low budget, but that probably means having 2nd job = less time = longer development time = less money, the circle completes again, just going the other way around, there is no way of getting out of this, it's a vicious cycle... or circle, either way, I don't think he is trying to scam people, perhaps he put it out to generate interest in the title again, frankly I wouldn't mind if he/they finished the game on the old engine, sure it's a bit janky, but improve textures a bit, make models bit more high poly, give them nicer shaders, better ambient occlusion and if possible given the engines limitations (pretty sure it's DX9 so it might be no go) some kind of screen space reflections at least (should be doable, we've got reshade and that can inject RTGI into games, although I'm not sure if their custom engine and if it runs on DX9 could work with it, but in house solution could be possible, maybe some basic SSS solution to make the game and models look less like moonbase/runescape and more at least like a mid 2010s UE3 game.

On the other hand, we have some games these days that have very similar gameplay mechanics with it all being so physics based and all, VAM is a perfect example of a game that can be played almost entirely by physical interactions, if combined with VR and posing, there is also SMA which is being developed again and it basically plays exactly the same as it did, minus the fact to pose characters you just have to enter an editor in game but from there, same level of control, manual thrusting or auto thrusting, the girl reacts to you, honestly I won't feel sad if he/they (I keep saying he/they as I'm not sure if there was one guy or few people behind it, I'm 99% sure it was one guy that did it all, probably some unknown relative of Terry Davis) :LUL: abandon it, it's been dead for years.

I'm unable to unpack files with filemaker. I pasted the code from the forums
"Pack pack1 { unpack = true; file = "[RUNTIME]pack/pack_tentacle_dreams.bin"; outpath = "[RUNTIME]pack/"; generate = true; }"
Changed the name of the pack for pack_dungeon.bin, copied the original bin file to the pack folder inside the filemaker folder and got this error after running the unpacking: "XFILEPC::Open: Failed to open file 'e:/users/games/xstoryplayer/filemaker/[RUNTIME]pack/pack_dungeon.bin' [rb], in file 'E:/Users/Games/XStoryPlayer/filemaker/start.ini' at line 5"
Tried running the program as admin but got the same "uh oh" sound.

there is also SMA
Too much messing around to get to the sim aspect of this game. Said sim aspect is dubious also.

VR Hot is the only "immersive sex sim" I can think of which does what XSP did. It's extremely janky though. Really wish there were alternatives: VAM is a script engine, not an immersive sim.
