Thanks for the feedback and suggestions vladek. emoticon_icari2_small I am always ready to serve with pleasure the creators of our great Icari-sama Now I have some spare time and that's why I write a full Feedback But please consider that I'm very bad in praising, but good at criticizing. I liked the Beta much, even if my feedback may be appear a little bit negative - I just can't write good things :S Starnova Beta Feedback
Technical:
Worked great and smooth in Fullscreen and windowed mode on my desktop PC (win10, 1920x1080). Music/Sound:Everything nice! Grafic:The Girls are beautiful painted, and the Backgrounds are AAA. Only one thing was really annoying: The "bent-forward-and-have-one-hand-before-the-mouth" pose of Mariya. This pose is just too overused. If Mariya is sick, if Mariya is smoking, if Mariya just speaks - everytime the same sprite. I highly suggest to work this over and maybe create at least one new pose for Mariya. Scenario:
Hmm, it's okay. I'm more into military and sci-fi, I have nothing to do with Idols, but yeah, it's okay I can't tell if it feels like you're a part of the "real" Idol industry 'cause I've absolute no idea how this would feel. I think even I will be able get into Content:As mentioned before: User decisions! .... The point I think needs much much more love are player decisions. As example on the Scene at the bar with Sasami and Mariya - okay, she offers me a cigarette. Why not give a decision "oh, thanks"/"no, i'm not Smoking"? Or (in the same Scene) "I take a beer"/"I take a gin"/"I take a coke (and get forced to drink alc)". I think that would be add lot of deep/RP. And after all that shouldn't be a big thing 'cause such minor decisions doesn't alter the whole game but just a few word in the next dialog. And the community would love it - I think And, another thing: there are that much good ideas for minigames/additional gameplay here in the Forum. atm it seems like there will be absolute no gameplay beside "casual"-VN-gameplay. Why? Wasn't that one of the main parts that made Sunrider succesfull? Away from this, the Beta feels very short and some scenes a little bit rushed (gave me memories of LD 1.0). I missed some "just random days" where the Girls just talk together and develop there character/relations. atm there is always a thing, kidnapping, sexual harassment, alcohol escapades. Maybe a way to much. Fanservice:
Too much! In the first 15 min two topless Scenes? Fan Service should be a kind of achievement, you play the game, and after hours of keep up with you're waifus you got finally your topless/naked Scene. In the Beta I haven't any motivation to "hunt down" the Girls, they are cheaply jump at the Player. The Girls:Sasami:
Hmm. I never liked Chigara. Maybe I have some prejudices. But Sasami apears as a 1:1 copy of Chigara with the look of young Ava. Sorry, but she's absolut not very original. Especially the "oh, Producer is here for me" "Producer will protect me" "Producer will help us all"-sentences feels like copy-pasted from Chigara... Aki:I think Aki is great. Her character is much more complex then the others, and that's why I think the choice to give her overall more dialogs is very good. If there would be some kind of canon/main waifu, I think Aki would be one of the best choices. She have very much potential for dramatic Twists! Julie:Hm. It's not our great empress Icari-sama. But, she's at least tsundere. I'm 100% prejudiced. I like her more then the other Girls, but no one will be surprised about that. For my personal taste she could be a way more tsun, but for most guys out there I think it's okay how it is. Mariya:Too old, too negative. For my taste. But I'm sure she should apear like this - and that's why I think she's perfect as she is now. Just remeber what I've wrote at the Grafic-section: The same pose for the 284th time isn't really nice. Mika:Hmm, I like Mika as she is. I think heres everything nice! Natsuki:See above, nothing special to write. She's a Asaga nice Substitute, which I like. Not copy-pasted like Sasami, and thats good. Nemu:I'm maybe prejudiced too. I liked Claude in MoA, but does we really need again a hormone-controlled sex-beast? The yandere part is fresh and very nice, but after all there is too much Claude inside Nemu. And I have the bad feeling that she becomes (like Claude in LD) some weird Deus Ex Machina. I'm not really a fan of Deus Ex Machinas.... Veniczar Cullen
If Aki not take a main part in the Story, there is no doubt, that Cullen have to take the lead. Cullen have a damn great potential, but he need more love! Enought now, I have to work If you need further Explanations, just ask.

hmm, I'm little bit in hurry, that's why I keep it short. The charcter-design is great, I like most of the Girls. The point I think needs much much more love are player decisions. As example on the Scene at the bar with Sasami and Mariya - okay, she offers me a cigarette. Why not give a decision "oh, thanks"/"no, i'm not Smoking"? Or (in the same Scene) "I take a beer"/"I take a gin"/"I take a coke (and get forced to drink alc)". I think that would be add lot of deep/RP.

I know, it's the Sunrider Forum here, but there is no "Homeward Discuss"-Forum and the "other Discuss" feels a bit dead. I LOVED Homeward, and this is why I should start a Petition to get it on Steam. I I Know, we can just Download it, but I like to have all my Games on Steam, especially the Games I love <3 If you loved Homward to, stop reading and vote YES. If you don't know what's Homeward: Shame about you! May Samu-kun forgive you, even if this sin isn't forgivable. -> sunrider-vn.com/homeward/Go forward, Brothers, let's fight for Homeward!

I quite like fruits of grisaia. it's really quite a silly game with silly stories (even when it's sorta serious it's still very out there) but the ero parts are decent enough. I only played the first part of Ace Academy and that wasn't enough to really be able to judge the narrative, but the dialogue was decent and the voice acting overall a lot better than I would expect from a english VN. the combat when I played it was just a placeholder, but no idea what they'll come up with eventually. Okay, I bought Ace Academy on Friday and I think it's awesome. It have great humor, nice romantics and a good plotline. It's not that serious as Sunrider (or less less serious), atm there are no eroge-content (just some kisses, sweet beachs Scenes etc, but I'm very happy with this - don't Need sex for a nice VN) but very lovly Girls (hard to decide which one to date) and nice art/sound. The battles are just QTE but they are okay and fulfill their purpose great. After I played it (EarlyAcess atm) I made strait a Patreon-pledge for it; it feels like a kind of Sunrider Academy with more Dialoge-Content but no Management. Only Problem is that you played throu in just 8 hours. I'm not sure... but all Ace Academy is like Sunrider from northern America - and it feels that these VNs are much better then the japanese ones ^^ I can still decide what I have to think about Fruits of Grisaia, but atm I'm happy enought with Ace Academy.

While I can agree with some of your gripes, such as the story feeling rushed, others I can debate on. Icari and Kryska were bff rivals since the first game. Icari didn't trust her because she worked for the Alliance and Kryska distrusted Icari for being a mercenary. This was pretty much resolved in the last battle of the first game. You can read this between the lines from their interactions in MoA. It's also why many like them as the mandatory lesbian couple. With Kayto, love makes people blind. Talk to any new couple and they'll downplay any obvious flaws in their partner. Why do you think con artists are able to operate so easily? Asaga...well I'm on the fence here. I can agree with you that she made the personality swap way too fast. She'd been Chigara's bff for years and then makes the jump to resenting if not outright hating her. While you can read this as a combo of jealousy and the Sharr, a lot of people will resent not being TOLD why. Kinda like the bitterness on the WoW forums. Alliance players resent constantly being TOLD what their side did as opposed to be SHOWN and lash out because of it. However I still stand by my stance of the writers had to work with what limited resources they had. Maybe I'm right maybe I'm wrong, I'm a fanfic writer too btw, but ranting with hate for their story while at the same time that you could do a better job than them isn't going to get you the kind of response you want. Yeah, exactly my thoughts. Yes, I agree with you (Dextix), the Story was very rushed, but rushed not = bad written. If they would had taken more time to finish LD everything have been great, even with exactly the same writter. I understand what do you wish to say, but I think the Problem isn't the writting like you think, but rather that they published LD far to early without enought Content.

Yes, chigara was important to Kayto, Never going to argue against that. But never was it shown tha she had romantic importance to Kayto. And yes, i had a girl like that, because i was horribly bullied in school and basically had to fight back however i could. It was guess what, my cousin. And she acted in a simmilar way Chigara did, helped me through my problems. Maybe no love because it' family. But I anyway I'm not in the position to declear you are wrong. I didn't know about your life. But after all my experience - not only for myself, also what I saw at othet guys - let me think in the most causes there will be a big chance that you imagine love from few days to another. Right, that would be possible to, sounds also logical. But because Kayto fucked chigara I don't think he saw her as a new sis -> 'I love the next girl which helps me' looks more plausible. do you have played reborn? Of course it is not canon, but the girls and kayto have still the same character like in the original, and what kayto thinks in reborn he would think also in real. If LD wouldn't be rushed published I'm sure the explaination WHY kayto falled in love with chigi were the same as in reborne. Hm. Okay. I can't judge about how much you lovr Sunrider, but you don't love LD (even if you just hate the game cause the 'bad writting'), but LD is also a official part of Sunrider. You can't say you love Sunrider and hate LD. And after all, is it really bad written? Sure, its not veeery nice, but after all is not THAT bad. Thats why I think you are pissed about the outcome of LD. Are you really HATE a VN writter just because the romance was to fast/without good explanation? Is that enough for hate? I can't believe this made you this mad, thats I think its more the stor in general which you don't like. totaly agree with you, just I didn't like thane very much. critics is one thing, another thing is to say 'this would be better if it were written like I say'. This sounds a bit arrogant. You can say its shit, but it feels like you also want to tell you are the better writter, and I believe this only if I read something from you which is REALLY better. Shit no battery left on my phone and no PC atm. I will let the rest of your post just as he is. Will rejoin this thread tomorrow (just btw, it's nice when youre creative cause of my answers, dont feel blocked, write as many analyses you want. Was never my intention to forbid you something.)

At first lets make sure that I'm also not liked the forced chigara romance. BUT there are lot of scene imho where chigara more and more become emotional important for kayto (after beach scene, tea scenes etc), and kayto needed someone to talk with (he had prefered ava, but she rejected kayto), and chigara was there for him. You ever had a very stressfull and bad time? You ever had a girl which helps you and was theres for you, even if she not yout favourite? I think NO, because everyone who was once in this situation would know that really fast imaging there is somrthing like love between you and your friendzoned girl. Kaytos behavior is very realistic, yes, it was fast, but do you have played reborn? There is more or less everything cleared why it was such a hurry up relationship between kayro and chigara.
Kayto was emotional in a very bad shpae, chigara helps him out, that this leads to a imaginary love is not really suprising.
If I read your post(s) i think the problem is another one: Sunrider doeasen't follow the way you want it. I can party understand; it's bad when a good thing get stuff you don't like, but after alk SR is a LiS creations, not your creations. I read your post and between every line I read "after all samu made sunrider bad". Even if it is like this, you have to accept, please. Write your own story before critisise this and that and this...

Not, after all I'm here because LiS just made and make the best VNs And of course because Icari is here 😆 After all I think alternate Dimensions are total fiction, I can explai it, it just feels wrong. I'm good in feeling thing, and I didn't feels like there is more then this, only one, real dimension. Wait, I have memories of an alternate reality sometime.... When I was very drunken the evening before I think it was everything great and I've done nice things... But in reality I was just... Drunken 😁

Hi guys, I just have to ask: I like academy very much, atm I've played throu the Sola (AWESOME)arc and the Ava (I've expect more) arc. After LD2.0 ending I liked Asaga very much (don't even think about she could be better then Icari, of coursr Icari is number 1 waifu 4ever) and so I decided to play the Asaga-arc in academy. With the new version I was aible to switch the common route, but now I have to play throu midgame - which is, after 2 playthrous - very boring. After all I have to keep an eye on the states or at least have to click something. That's annoys me very much. I would like to jump from "route-special-event" to "route-special-event" and skip all the "its afternoon, what should I do" stuff. Is there any way to play academy just as VN? Without stat and club managing? I think if there were an official option I will have found it, but what's abour cheats/console commands? Hope someone can help me Greez

I wouldn't say Sunrider is an Eroge after all. I know, it is mostly classified as a eroge, but is as example 2Fast2Fourious an erotic movie? You have nice girls, some sex, but after all theae thing are just... Yeah, fan service? The movies main plot isn't about sex, same ar sunrider. To plot is maybe about girls, love, but also about war, heroism, mechas etc. NOT about erotics.
I think more erotic scenes would make sunrider more and more generic - if I would see hentai I don't need a strategy/RP-VN.
And, as mentioned before: I also like much more the imaging of things. Its normally better for myself, as a example Chigara on LD (okay, I didn't like her much anyways): I don't really like to see buttholes, so the sex scene with chigara just turns me down. If this scene would have been less explicit I would have enjoy it more. And the 2nd thing: I much more like the romance part, I like it to flirt (with all girls at same time) and how the girls become jealous. I like to try to impress my favourite waifu. Its okay when I got at least a sex scene for this (example Reborn), but if there are sex scene all 5 minutes I loose the joy of the hunt, which is for myself much bigger then the joy of sex.
I hope that Sunrider will not become 'oversexed', some fan service, ecci characters and very few sex scene are okay; perosnally I like it how it is. I doesn't need more - or, better I don't want more!

Do you can tell me something about them? Are they nice? Compared to sunrider?
The VN are: -Fruits of Grisaia -Ace Academy

She will win any waifu-war, whatever will come! For the glory of Icari-sama! For Honour and Glory! No retreat, no surrender! (btw she's fucking hot in swimwear!)

My greatest problem are names...especially for littles ships like corvettes... Thank you Samu-kun, ive made two flags from cera and the allaince: imgur.com/a/EiIhdHmm, I think for corvettes of the alliance we can take the british ship names for their destroyers (ww2-era). They are quite random, but fits small and fast ships very much imho. I can make a list if you want. (just tell me how many names you have in) For PACT I think we need more standarised names 'cause they fighting with big masses. What's about some squadron based ones? (Alpha I, Alpha II, etc. -> freespace style) For Cera I think some lore-based names would be nice, but then we need more Info about the World I speaking about names of Rivers, mountains, oceana etc. on Cera.

I have no idea about Linux, I just use Windows, but maybe this is interesting for you: forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/how-to-run-dh-on-linux-tutorial.575642/The Alpha-Version is ready. It has much less content as I had conceived for the first release, but you will get the rest with the Beta/v1.0. Download (mega.nz)How to install: 1. Download the .rar 2. unpack it into your Mod folder (if you have DH on steam: "C:\Applications\Steam\steamapps\common\Darkest Hour A HOI Game\Mods") 3. Launch the Game with the Launcher 4. Choose "Hearts of Icari" 5. choose the 1936-Scenario 6. Choose the "Tsun-Empire" I've updatet the first Post with some more Info. Greez

okay, I've got now the secret Claude ending first and the Icari-happy ending 2nd.
I'm very happy with the DLC, had a lot of fun, just awesome to get such a expansion for free. will surly testing the other arcs!
the only thing that I would like to see !absolutely! is a menue where I can replay the endings I got (and see how much endings there are). Beside this the game is great, besides some spelling-error that have already been mentioned.
At least I have just a very big question @samu-kun / LiS: How is the further STory planned? I liked the LD2.0 ending after all; but with the DLC this one feels obsolates?! Which ending is canon? LD2.0 (Sunrider destroyed, intergalactic war, Sunrider crew scattered) or DLC (LD-Massacre did not take place; Chigara in Prison untill Alpha is hunted done; new crew Member; new adventures)? As I wrote, I like both endings, but my heart's ill if I don't know which one is canon :S
Greez Vladek
PS: As one of the honourfull Tsun-Warrior of Icari-sama's great Empire I can say that the Icari-Ending fits my taste. Approved from the Tsun-Prime Minister. Of course not because I liked it!

Oh yeah! #StellarisPorn If played stellaris ca. 40 hours until now; it' a awesome game, but after all I miss some features. (deeper diplomacy/population-control, hope will get a patch/dlc soon) I will post some more stuff when i'm back from work @samu-kun: If you have any spare time just try it, it's epic! Or wait until they made more (midgame) content which would make the game (imho) much better.

I'm pretty sure that Samu will write an final canon ending... ...but maybe (i hope!) we will get a lot of Sunrider Games before Kayto can go in retirment with his waifu btw "Liberation Day's ending left a hole inside me" -> sure you have played LibDay 2.0? I think the endingthere is quite satisfying?

Ohyeah, I love all the Pdox games Personally I think CK2 and Darkest Hour are the best @icari-Mod: It's just a Fun-Icari-Fanboy-Mod, so don't expect too fancy new things Here some Update:Special-Units for the Tsun-Empire AirRyder: Very imba air units, can easily destory land divisions in air-to-ground combat or gain air superiority. - LandMecha: Very strong Land Unit, something like a super-tank. Very hard to kill and badass attack. Tsun-Guard: Elite Infantry, better then elite cold war Infantry, but not absolute imba Seraphim: Airborn-Infantry, not much more defense then cold-war-paratrooper, but very high attack the Tsun-Empire will start with few of this high-tech units, but will not be able to build them until the industry of the Empire is on a good niveau. Not tested atm, maybe they are VERY imba (should be like this ) or the difference (because there are only few of this special units) is not that big. Screens:
