The Empty Star- Moriah update. non-scat preferences!

[Hansony (mention)]

Is this "update" the uploaded file in the Mega link, or is it just your comment post? If the Mega is updated then remember to change the version number (is says 0.1 now, it was 0.1 last time) and maybe make a "[spoiler()][()/spoiler]" (remove the parentheses) with changelog for each version you make.
These things tend to make it easier for us to follow when an update is actually available and when it is just the dev informing what they are working on.

The last thing that was an update to the game was the Moriah test, which was also kind of a way for me to survey for ending preferences and test how those flow based on selection. The next major update will be Taverns and Stables which will increase pred count and scenes massively.

I will always notify here with an official post when there are updates and going forward updates will have a changelog and I'll edit the thread title. If you see updates until then its just banter, feedback, or little peeks. I just like to keep people informed on what I am working on because honestly, this is a slow process for me.

You might have found some pictures in my Mega that are AI generated but those are related to another game. I made some images for EmphasisOnMayo's game "Catering to Hungry Girl's 2: Acidic Boogaloo." They may or may not use them but that explains that I think. If you found unreleased Empty Star content let me know! I am pretty bad with technology.

Now that you mention it, I'll update the first post to show the link to the Moriah update too.

Currently we are just with the opening and the one scene with a thief written 3 ways to test preferences.

Welp. I’m on a temporary ban from Civit. We’ll see how this goes.

I was trying a new Lora and in playing with it accidentally used a flagged prompt twice in a row.

I’m trying to figure out how to run everything locally so I don’t have to tiptoe around stuff like that. I’ve tried 2 different walkthroughs so far but running into technical issues. If anyone knows anything about local generation and has a walkthrough that worked for them let me know please.

If I’m locked out for a while I’ll try to wrap one big scene in the next month or so instead and I’ll focus on writing.

Well when it comes to running locally you might want to look into ComfyUI, it can appear intimidating at first but once you've got your head around it it's actually quite straightforward, they have a discord community so if you're having trouble you can always go there and ask for support.

I’m unbanned.

Still, it might be a good warning that a perma ban could happen. They are very touchy on content. Obviously what I’m making is questionable as far as fetish content but I wasn’t trying to break rules.

I want to run on civil and local both if possible

Surprised how that's the breaking point and not the older generations you made for the characters.
CivitAI is notorious for its overzealous filters, one might get banned for typing "skyscraper" in the prompt because safety filters lack context unlike we do.

It's kind of why I don't resort into AI due to my personal reasons (and because I like drawing better, I mean, my avatar is animated by myself).

[quicks (mention)]

Yeah. My ban was likely using an old image and using the existing prompt which included "2 girls," which I meant as "2 female characters" but it read it as underage and blocked it. I even had in the prompt details for characters being mature and 25 years old and stuff but it reads that one thing out of context. I've hit warnings on other things that I dont understand either. One of my loras started popping up messages that I was trying to generate an irl person... I was trying to make unnamed goblins. I know you have to be really careful doing something like generating Hermione because they can hit you for Emma Watson instead which can get banned if you encroach on likeness too much.

If it was possible for me to make thousands of hand drawn images I would. It isn't really feasible. I've made over 200 full panels so far. I have a hand in some of the editing and arrangement and stuff but the raw art just can't be made by one person. Full panel art per page for a comic or something similar is hundreds to thousands of dollars per page depending on detail and it would be taking years. I'm using ai to make the images so I can make the story and choices and other stuff that I can make.

Will there be 'willing vore'?

[quicks (mention)]

Yes. The talk option for combat will always include a surrender option. You can even surrender to randos and merchants if you want.

I'll admit my preference for that is less "romantic willing vore" and more "I give up- you can have me."

There are planned things where its a tactical option too. Need to be in a belly for some reason and don't want to get beat up first? Invite yourself in.

Hey. Just letting everyone know that this isn’t dead but might be a gap. I had some family issues and have to help pick up some extra time helping a family member that fell on some hard times. This just isn’t something I want to be putting energy into on the side right now.

Expect more in the future though! Thanks for the support. I might do a few little side goodies for Halloween or something like that but probably no major update for a few months.

don't worry, family goes first, take your time to help your family member.

[quicks (mention)]

I appreciate it.

[roflcopterz8 (mention)]

If anyone says anything other than family first, feed them to a character!

But seriously, take care of your family and sort things out. We'll be here.

Please take your time! Making games is a lot of work (I know my fair share), so don't be pressured to make content! 🙏🏻

... Is that a punishment, or a reward?
