The first character route is now live, let us know what you think. Disclaimer: We cannot be held responsible if Nemu takes an "interest" in you after giving feedback.  |

Poor Nemunemu.
She just wants your love and affection... Why do you have to hurt Nemunemu so?
Ara ara... it makes Nemu angry...
Anyway since finishing Nemu's chapter seeing both endings I'll relay my thoughts here. I still kind of felt like things moved a little fast and the route ended up being a good deal more serious than I was expecting. A few of the lines seemed a little off.
But all and all it worked. I didn't see any crashes or noticeable bugs and saving and loading is much faster than it has been previously.
With a little more polish I think this route will work just fine. Nemunemu still needs all the hugs in the world.

Will be editing this post with thoughts as I go through Beta 3 The time jump between NEMUFEB102018 and where we left off in the end of Beta 3 is kind of...really large. The beginning we get a really fast summary of all the new deals the girls of Starnova gets and then bam we move to an upscale place apartment and talking about her background. I don't know. It feels kind of disconnected. Maybe this is my fault for using jump NEMUFEB102018? I feel like having some more intermediate scenes (if there aren't any) would be good (Mariya is on TV? All those promotions? What happened?). Time skips are okay, but sort of more details (you can show the date fast forwarding or something with little snippets of text, I don't know). ____ I didn't find it that believable Producer san would be able to afford an upscale apartment so soon, maybe due to the time skip. I can see him affording it maybe if someone (*cough* Nemu) pulled some strings as she's rich. ____ Nemu's antenna is entertaining. The small details really livens up the mood. ____ Mariya's character really became much more optimistic in chapter 3 at the beginning of the practice scene. She's saying positive things now while Aki is thinking the worst of producer-san. But then she makes a 180 in the same day at the end. Sasami comes in and then Mariya makes another 180. Some more consistent portrayal of her view of the producer in the scene would be good. ____ False choices, lol. And the fourth wall breaks. Nicely done. ____ Wondering if the events in this route will be common or not in other routes. ____ Animations seem to be running fine on my laptop with no graphics driver (it's Ubuntu and has no graphics card). ____ Overall really liked how things turned out.  ____ After the credits producer-san makes an offhand remark about Sena's producer. I'm under the impression this is Nemu's father (current as well). Unless I'm mistaken. ____ What is the format of the animations? I feel like there is a blur/minor color pixelation from encode probably compared to the static images. |

Good shout Limith on the animations Limith, I forgot to mention before is that we are eager to hear about how well the animations run in this version of the game, if you encounter any issues please let me know so that I can investigate. Wondering if the events in this route will be common or not in other routes. While I am not entirely sure myself at the moment I get the feeling it will be some form of hybrid where issues were indirectly solved but not quite to the dramatic level of the route (sort of like how Grisaia does it). After the credits producer-san makes an offhand remark about Sena's producer. I'm under the impression this is Nemu's father (current as well). Unless I'm mistaken. Sena's producer remains un-named, the only reference to the original agency happens during PKun's investigation. What is the format of the animations? I feel like there is a blur/minor color pixelation from encode probably compared to the static images. The encoding is webm and for each animation there are two resolution options (based on what you have selected in the options menu) 720p and 1080p. There is also a no video option for those who do not want the animated lewds. |

I finished edits to my feedback post.
How do you get Nemu bad end???

There is one decision that serves as the crossroads:
When Kamijou confronts you about the accident, one of these decisions triggers a bad end and another triggers the good end.
- Are you accusing Nemu of committing this act?!
- You are right... We will get to the bottom of this. I swear.

See Nemunemu is stronger than people give her credit for.
Most Yandere bloodlines last for generations.
Just ask Yan-chan...

I'm not really too sure what to say. I think the overall development of Nemu's story is fine, but there's nothing to hold it up. It honestly doesn't feel like any of it is really earned. It seems like every moment is either 0% or 100%. I fully admit that I could be the only one thinking like this, but the story needs some work to support your choices in Nemu's route. NotesFeedback tldr; As fictional as these characters are, they are still human and they still have lives within this universe. I hope (the collective) you understand the implications of their actions and what they say. |

I don't have access to the game but considering past mistakes I feel like as much feedback as possible is necessary and an outsiders perspective might help. Is this game going to feature much self parody? I would caution against this. A protagonist that is a pastiche of character tropes, character interactions that go a shocking swerve to how they are supposed to considering the genre, that kind of thing. You are making a game for people who might not have much experience with visual novels in addition to people who are veterans, you should try to make a more earnest story. Try for verisimilitude. I've seen previous comments about the over abundance of fan service, and I think that plays into this.
So rather then approaching the story as, "A producer trying to make an idol group a success? So cliché! Let's see how we can punch this up!" Maybe you can approach the scenario honestly and just let it speak for itself.

planguy I think the story's good for someone who doesn't read VNs much....I think the only VN I've read that counts is Muv Luv. I guess Sunrider and Seinarakana are VN? ____ I wanted to comment that the art quality of Starnova is amazing compared to other Patreon projects I'm browsing on the site for the amount of content per release. ____ An update on the animations being being slightly blurry I've discovered this is a side effect of the laptop I was on having no graphics card nor a graphics driver (it's running linux), so you can ignore the comment. It runs fine given how little power the laptop I was on has (given I can't view youtube or twitch videos without video corruption, parts of the screen flashing white, and frame loss) so you can ignore my comment on it. I just started using it around when beta 3 came out in place of my usual laptop and didn't realize it.

Just thought I would also drop this in just in case but for the performance side of things you can also change the quality of videos using 'options -> display', the default is '1080p' but you also have options for '720p' and 'no video' (although for no video I think there is still some work to be done with ensuring that the audio cues do not play for the duration of the scene). |

Holy hell Man, I thought I was on the path to nemus good end, but boy I was wrong. RIP Mika  dont even wanna think about the others. That aside menu might be one of my favorite yanderes, she's not your typical obsessed with mc yandere. Her condition is a result of her past and her current situation regarding haruna. Such a well written character. P.s a lot of grammar issues and a bit of the game not responding at times but thats all |
