Star Channel Episode 03.

Welcome to the most family friendly patreon campaign ever. I hope you're ready for the release of Episode 03. Hugs and platonic kisses, namaste <3

SC34 Episode 03. It's here. Hurray! I just sent the download link to all my PROCESSED (successfully donated at least $1) patrons. If somebody didn't get the link PM me. 

About Episode 03. I wrote it, I put it together and played though it at least four times now so it should work smoothly for most of you. But as usual, if you encounter bugs or typos or things that you think are not working properly - let me know in the comments or by contacting me directly at: akaburfake2@yahoo.com

Some more About Episode 03. Like I said a couple dozen times already I am trying to change things up a bit, so don't be put off by some minor changes you will notice. And don't worry about this episode being a bit on the short side. It was done on purpose to make it possible for frequent updates. I am already about half-way done with the writing for Episode 04, so next episode should be the first one in the line of frequent (but finished and not alpha builds) updates. Also as always you can use your old save, or just start directly from episode 03.

Public Release When? If all goes well it should happen next Monday. It will include Win, Mac and (FREAKING) Linux version of the game and fixes for whatever bugs get reported during this week. Andorid version should be out the week after.

New PT Fanart. So Guronart (this bastard: ttps://www.patreon.com/Guronart) released another PT fanart piece. This one features Iris jumping out of a window naked during that painting stealing event. I know I already mentioned Guronart before so I won't say "go support him", do what you want, I don't care. I'm just happy to see another cool drawing of Iris. #^_^# 

This week's PSD. This week's PSD file is another PT classic, known to me as "36_dance.psd". You'll find it in the attachments of the patron's only post. It's in high resolution and it contains all the layers as usual. Or, and if you find any use for this drawings I am posting feel free to "appropriate" them. (But for the love of God please don't put them into another weird mod of one of my games.)

Work Materials. So, great guy by the name of MUPLUR gave me an idea: not to stop with just PSDs but also share my old scans and other work materials. Naturally a lot of those things are NSFW so I imagine I will have to put a lot of them behind the patrons-only lock unfortunately. But you have my full permission to grab those and use or share them any way you like :)

Today's scan. So today I am sharing the scans of that "Maslab finds his daughter in the Red Phoenix" CG. I hope it will kick you in the nostalgia a bit. Sure did kick me. Can't believe it's been that long since I drew this...


In conclusion. That's it for this week's post. Make sure to leave your feedback about this episode. I hope you'll like it. See you next week.

P.S. Thank you for your support. If I could gather you all in one room and yell at you for an hour about how much I appreciate you all - I would. But since I can't you'll have to settle for this gif: 


!!!IMPORTANT!!! EPISODE 03 SIGNIFICANT BUG HAS BEEN REPORTED: New girl's stress level is not displayed properly in the crew list and never goes down. I will fix this in the public releasable. Avoid sending her to work to in order to not get stuck with the story.

Star Channel Episode 03.

Comments

Good point. I'll try to address it in the story.

AKAMAN

Yeah, Patreon is misbehaving lately, even more then usual. I hope they will be able to sort things out soon -_-

AKAMAN

Есть почта для отправки багов в игре?

looks like ash renegged on the 15 eco deal. the agreement was to roll with whatever jasmin wanted shy of feces. she stormed out before it got to that point, and didn't seem to return the eco. genie didn't go after her for the eco back, which granted went a bit further than intended, but she still broke the agreement and genie needed to demand them back or else look like she could walk all over him. i would be fine with some sort of haggling in which she keeps the eco, but genie shouldn't let discipline get lax like that.

james steele

Hey Akabur, just wanted to let ya know that some people are having trouble getting their September payments for their pledges to be accepted. I've tried a few different ways to pay, but none seem to be going through. Looking on the Patreon Subreddit ( <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/patreon/comments/9cbh3x/anyone_else_having_issues_with_paypal_for_this/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.reddit.com/r/patreon/comments/9cbh3x/anyone_else_having_issues_with_paypal_for_this/</a> ) and there are others. So if you see a drop in your Patreons or something initially this month, I wanted to make you aware. I'll keep trying to push my pledge through for ya! But there are problems on Patreon's end right now regarding payments :P

Zirex

I'm hyped for this!

HangryRedneck

An extension for Adobe PhotoShop files?

AKAMAN

Sorry, what? 0_o

AKAMAN

Akabur,you watched Star vs the Forces evil? How is she?

Roman Gladkiy

whats PSD?

slam

Yes, just ignore it^^

AKAMAN

If all goes well Android version will see the light of day a week after the public release.

AKAMAN

Didn't I tell you not to get hyped? I think I did. So, hear me when I say this: don't hype episode 04. (It's gonna be pretty awesome though).

AKAMAN

Noted. And fixed everything apart from this: "pisode 2 appends the dialogue from Jasmine's new show", couldn't trigger. Also have no clue what you are trying to say here: "Is there any way you could do a sanity check when you send Jasmine/Ash on mission/episode and if the save has the 1/10 system update it to a simpler binary one and done thing?"

AKAMAN

Noted and fixed. Thank you for the report.

AKAMAN

I appreciate you deciding to support me, but I always share the updates with the processed patrons first. Public release is next Monday. Or just wait a couple hours, somebody will share the game on some forum. But I can't just sent you the link, that would be disrespectful to people who's been supporting me for a long time. Sorry.

AKAMAN

I just noticed that once you master "Confronting Jafar" stage one, if you scroll back after watching the scene you and click on it again you get an bonus scene. as well as 'Confronting Jafar' stuck on the screen until you play another. Is this the only good bug...er bonus that is available?

BJakin

The Android version is coming in public release?

AyanDrako

I really love the character you have for jasmine. She is both a spoiled bitch, and cutely pouty/jealous. I'm really dissapointed that this update had so little writing though... I've read so many updates from you the last few months that I got pretty hyped.

Thanks, dude. I'm glad you like my work :)

AKAMAN

just wanted to say your games are freaking awesome. i'm not a patron yet but it's definitely the first thing i'll spend on when i get my visa card. really looking forward to ep 3.

Really? Well I'm happy you like that. I hope to go deeper into that seem in the future updates. :)

AKAMAN

I know it's short. But you will see exactly why is that soon*. Already fixed April's stress bug, won't be present in public release.

AKAMAN

Nah, I think it's supposed to be like that. It's sort of a comical way of saying that. And if Lyk left it in it probably works.

AKAMAN

You did the link though, right?

AKAMAN

Dude, it says you've been my patron for 5 hours. Your link is coming on Monday. ^^

AKAMAN

CAN ANYONE PLZ send me the link for the ep. 3 I didnt get a msg but I am a patron so...

rondon

That was an amazing piece of art, as always, all the "slave roleplay" with ashelin is so goood dude ! This is for that I love you, some intense instant of fapping !

Mirrodin

Cool news, keep up!

Offshore - Adult Games Developer

A bit short but nice. But there seem to be some bugs with Hermione\April stress. Sometimes April stress won't go down during a rest day, sometimes it will transfer completely to Hermione. Wasn't able to get the full pattern. Also at least once I assigned April to dance, but instead Hermione was dancing.

Глеб

find a little typo. in mission after we get jasmine to teach hermione for stripping. before the hermione mission start with jasmine teach her , genie say "oh and by the by..." , instead of "oh and by the way.." ... or.. unless its supposed to be that :)

Macadam

I haven't had the chance to play it, but thanks Aku! I know this will be good!

Joy Lewds

Hello, comrade :) I hear ya. But that won't work. That kind of approach would mean longer development times and shorter gameplay times. But non the less, I do plan to add more art into the game as we continue with this.

AKAMAN

Did you get the link?

AKAMAN

I appreciate you deciding to support me, but I always share the updates with the processed patrons first. Public release is next Monday.

My apologies for distracting you from your studies. ^_^ Glad you like the thing so far. Episode 04 is coming soon*

AKAMAN

Hey dude. Your russian comrade here. Sorry for my English skills in advance. Everything you do is great, and I enjoy every piece of art you make. But besides art you make a lot of work while creating a game, polish every small detail, to make it exactly how you imagine it. And that's how masterpieces are made. But it's clearly seen, that mostly you're famous for your art style, which I personally consider as one of the best in cartoon genre. And I really miss old times, when you've been doing comics. It took you less time, and there were a lot more art to admire. So here's idea for ya: more art (like in PT), and less text ;) Anyway, keep up a good work!

Solllar

And lord said, let there be episode 3. XD Can't wait to see what happens to my favorite holo girl!

Chad Thurman

I didn't get one

Sam Watson

Hello, I just signed up... Can I get a link to Ep. 3?

Get bigger speakers?

Dubsington

Based on past Akabur's answers, his answer would be : "Sure, you'll get it next monday ;) "

Noduolc

New here for $1 per month patreon. May I get the SC34 E03 ^_^?

Hey Akabur, just finished Episode 3! A bit short, but I loved every small detail. Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to the 4th one :)

SomeNerdyGentleman

You have to talk to Lola. She will fix the issue. :)

SomeNerdyGentleman

Since no one else has commented about it - im not sure what im supposed to do with the ancient artifact that costs 9999999999 UC?

George Sears

I still have not received the link T_T

Great episode, thanks Akabur! Man, that CG with Ashelin was EXACTLY what I had hoped for. Whew! I just wish it had been a bit longer, you know, more text and leading up to the finale? But I'm super happy. I played through episodes 1-3 yesterday night instead of writing my paper, and I'm once again wowed by how entertaining the whole package is, especially the comedic timing. Looking forward to episode 4.

Yeah, I hear you about April, but I am getting bored of every girl following the same scenario, so I try to give them different personality traits. April is not perverted, more like cheerful and open-minded. Getting her to strip dance won't be easy, I promise.

AKAMAN

Thanks, dude. All the bugs you mentioned has already been fixed and won't be present in the public release next week. Thank you for your report. Episode 04 coming soon*

AKAMAN

I liked the continuation to the Ashelin-pig scene, the first fullscreen CGI and EP04 preview. It's nice to have April now, confrontation with Lola is interesting. But isn't April too much of a pervert at the beginning ? Should not she be more resistant ? Great work, as always. ♥

Alex P.

SC34 is masterpiece. The quality of the game has improved, however, I think the volume is sad...

doltonse

I finally got April and more Ashelyn content! You wanted bug reports so the biggest one i've noticed so far is that when girls are returning from work/events many times game shows incorrect girl returning. Also there is HAVEN/HEAVEN typo in Ashelyn briefing. Other than that it's pretty cool update and i lol'd hard (pun intended) few times. Great work!

Just skip one day.

AKAMAN

I became Patreon today.Can you send me the episode?

kudos.

Toybirdy

Sent. Thank you for your support. I won't be able to continue to do this without your (and others like you) support, man.

AKAMAN

How come you didn't get the link? I'll send it to you right away.

AKAMAN

Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.

AKAMAN

Well, I could redistribute the version with current fix, but it would be such a hustle, and ultimately a waste of time. There are NO game-breaking bugs in the game, so you can play it without any worry.

AKAMAN

*num* *num*

AKAMAN

Yes, like I said, I am trying to figure out a way to make frequent updates. This one was a bit light on content but it took me way less time to develop (you can't see it because I worked on Mating Season in-between). All and all, I am really trying, let's just hope I will be able to do it and next update will be the first one in the succession of frequent episodes.

AKAMAN

Yeah... And I loved Firefly and they did the same... I know your pain, life is not fair... (Thank you for playing my games though).

AKAMAN

AKAMAN

Yes, I know... Life is pain... T_T

AKAMAN

Considering how long it's been since the release of the very first episode your nostalgia is absolutely justified. Also I am and old dude, so I imagine my references, jokes, and art will be kicking you into the nostalgia bone even more with every passing year^^

AKAMAN

You mean a sex scene that you can play over and over?

AKAMAN

Well, I wish I could say: please contact our tech support at TEL: 123-AKABUR-3211. But all I can say is that there is some kind of conflict between Ren'Py and you video card settings. Try fiddling with those. I had a problem with one of old japanese visual novel where it would never go into fullscreen, making some changes in my video card settings helped.

AKAMAN

Thanks. I think I may have a fetish for obliterating forth walls.^^

AKAMAN

I'm so sorry. I guess I got a bit to excited with this post being a new episode release post and everything. Next Monday post will be a return to the roots. Hearts and photographs of puppies and a lot of family friendly content that I am famous for is incoming!

AKAMAN

My card was lost and my new one I didn't realize i didnt have transfered. Can you send me the episode? Thanks

if you send her on that mission after the first event, there's a play button to the right which will replay the event. When I had the same thoughts as you I thought that it was a bug, but then I remembered it was an akabur game, so I tried to look for something different first before jumping to conclusions! :)

waffel

SC 03 " Oh really?! I had to come back earlier than before, at least as patreon 1 $ !, Akabur, Link please !, if everything is correct O_o

LuffyKurosaki

short but sweet. Like, really short! But that Ashelin, Jasmine and Genie scene, good lord! Really sweet too!

It's no secret that Akabur releases slowly, but I find I am a lot more tolerant of it with him than I would be of other developers for these reasons: - He only asks for a buck. If I get two releases a year and only pay $12, I feel like I am getting my money's worth. - His releases, generally speaking, have far fewer bugs than almost any other game dev I follow. I personally hate bugs, so this is a big deal to me. - I consider the writing and art to be high quality.

Dubsington

Well, shit. How long do we need to wait for the public/bugfix version? Any chance patrons can get the bugfixed a little bit earlier? Long weekend coming up in the States, perfect time for playing games.....

Dubsington

Akabur ! Here ! have a cookie ! ... its the last one, i eated them all but this one ( i m not responsible if someone else bit it ^^ )

Macadam

It was nice but it felt a bit short in comparison to the rest

Pwet

This is one of the most disappointing updates I've ever seen, not only is there almost no content for a supposed "episode," the whole game itself has almost nothing for a game that's been in development for 3 years. How is it that you've got progressively worse, and less motivated since you started as a developer?

John Goodman

Hey Akabur! It's looking great. Thanks so much! I will say a couple things I found that were bugs or not the best way to implement the UI... It seems like when you activate April she breaks Hermione's Stress Level. They seem to suddenly share it/swap it/never get reset from rest after April is active. Like there's a value that's floating between them that's shared. It's weird. Also, Ashelin's new show, the 'HD' part of episode 2 appends the dialogue from Jasmine's new show (episode 1) on the end of it. That's not supposed to happen. Is there any way you could do a sanity check when you send Jasmine/Ash on mission/episode and if the save has the 1/10 system update it to a simpler binary one and done thing? IDK how much work that would take... Other thing is that you don't need an Event button and an Event Log button. Just have an event button and at the bottom of the list have a choice that opens up the list of previous events just before the exit button. It would clean up the UI a lot and make things a lot clearer!

Dinker

Magic Shop i love the game but you stop updating it....

Kami

link please

Tom Clark

link pls

Minor issue reports: Lola's raver outfit doesn't have A or B settings, her hair does though. Ashelin's new missions (through quest) also say it's Jasmine returning from the mission. Mission two is one page when it is redone, same for Jasmine, text on chat doesn't seem to line up correctly as well. After running through some of the quests I noticed Hermoine also loses her ability to lower stress through the main character page but it shows correct stress levels when doing live shows and on personal charcter page; it has something to do with new girl and her stress levels not dropping. Ashelin's new hair missing "B". Hermoine's lessons "by the by" = "by the way".

Shawn

me too not received the link D: help me i want fap

Hi!! i did not received the link!! =(

so short... I waited for the continuation "Dating daxter"... ep.4 wait for another six months or year...meh

Is it weird that I find SC34 amusingly nostalgic? Don't care! I love you Akabur!!!

in future episodes is there any chance that we will be able to have "fun" with the girls like princess and witch trainer?

mp

Skarlf

**Bug** Im sure this was already commented, but when sending ashley down to do the "inspiring the troops" 1 and 2, it only has one image.

Nikolaj K.

I'm having an issue with the display. When the game boots, the big black AKABUR screen is not scaled correctly and is off center. Then when I get to the menu screen, it looks fine but the mouse mapping is off and I can't click any buttons. If I go to preferences almost the entire menu is hidden in the top left off screen. In the past I have had minor issue with scaling because I run at 150% scaling normally. But it was always as simple as going back to 100% scaling when playing the game. Now, either way I'm getting issues.

ScarletIce

Superb work so far, AKABUR! My personal favourite? The "superb coding" thing on the LOLA quest ..

Christian Hoepfner

What happened to the forced family friendliness? I hope I'm not in the minority for missing that.

Shawn

Working on fixing this...

AKAMAN

You're right... Dammit...

AKAMAN

Quack!

AKAMAN

You understand that if you are releasing the game to Patrons first, it ceases to be a tip jar, right?

Blue Cabaret

Ashelin event about new show: one of the guards says "straight to hAven", instead of "straight to hEAven".

John

Also, I believe that comments for Jasmine's "Whole new world" EP1 are actually comments from one of the "Confronting Jafar" episodes, cause some "bird" is mentioned and there is none on the screen. EDIT: Same thing with "Inspiring the troops", also the "bird" comments.

John

Yay! YAY!

AKAMAN

Yup. I already know about this one. Public release version next week won't have this problem. ^^

AKAMAN

Absolutely dude. Episode 04 is coming soon* I promise! Also thank you for your feedback. I'm super happy you like the story so far.

AKAMAN

Just hit the "next episode" button.

AKAMAN

Mastery has been long abolished. Only the only episodes still have it shown since that's how they were at the beginning. In other words, that's not a bug :)

AKAMAN

Yeah, yeah... -_-

AKAMAN

I appreciate you deciding to support me, but I always share the updates with the processed patrons first. Public release is next Monday. Or just wait a couple hours, somebody will share the game on some forum. But I can't just sent you the link, that would be disrespectful to people who's been supporting me for a long time. Sorry.

AKAMAN

Usually it's your video card setting. Trying fiddling with those.

AKAMAN

You can just do it here or send me an email to akaburfake2@yahoo.com

AKAMAN

Yay! =^_^=

Denis

Uh Akabur I think April might be bugged she doesn't loose any stress she just gains more I have her at 120% stress

Nero

Just completed it!! :D You've already got me hyped up for the next episode with that ending! Seems like you're really going to try to push for much more frequent updates, which supports what you've told us already (: Also, the longer scene in this episode was awesome! You've written the characters so well so far and had me engaged the whole time. I really hope you are able to start cranking updates out. I don't know if my heart can take months and months again after this :P You've really created a masterpiece with a fantastic foundation to build upon. Thanks again for the work you put in for us Man C:

Zirex

So... it may be because it was a while ago that I played it now, but how do I access the new content in the game? What is the first step to progress the story?

Reutermo

Awesome! Thanks Akabur. Also a (Potential bug report). Since I've not played SC34 since the last release, there might some feature that I'm forgetting. But currently, none of the girls are gaining Mastery in the episodes/shows (unless they had (X/10) in the save I continued from. Tried doing 10+ episodes/shows (thinking it might just be a visual bug) but nope.

Farris

Thank you for the linux version ^^

waffel

me no get SC34. me want to get SC34. grug want it, grug need it!

Been having this problem with your games for awhile (both Episode 2 and PT Golden have this as well), but EP 3 won't full screen correctly. Most of the screen gets cut off. In window form it also cuts off the very top (which is mostly just annoying for going through save pages) and bottom and makes the mouse click higher than it's placement.

DJ Quinn

Sooo Where do I report bugs? :D

Okcrk

You still have some time before I send you the Ep.04 text though.

AKAMAN

Sooner than expected!

Lyk

Heh. Happy to oblige. Don't expect a super long episode though. Remember my plan to do this frequently but in smaller increments. ^^

AKAMAN

Screaming lunacy at work? Check. Having to train a new, annoying person without help on a night shift tonight? Check. But hey! Doesn't matter, the new Star Channel 34 episode is out! Life is fine again!

Trevor Bond

Can't wait! :)

AKAMAN

Finally I can release my episodes!

Purity Sin Gaming & Chaotic Stories

^_^

AKAMAN

cool thx for quick reply

Of course. The game should pick them up by default.

AKAMAN

Thanks you Dorago. Thank you for your support. I hope you'll like this episode :)

AKAMAN

can i somehow use my old safefiles?

You have no idea how much I waited for this post ^^ also, it is I that thank you for all your awesome work, my support is only a tiny part of how much I am grateful for the pleasure of playing your games :)

Dorago

It's a new feature... The game is in widescreen now... I thought you guys wanted this... It wasn't easy to do, dammit T_T

AKAMAN

Of course I can. There will be NO SEX with Hermione in Episode 03 or 04 or 05 or 06...

AKAMAN

OH, right... Urm... I don't know what that is. "Akabur" maybe? I don't use Discord all that much.

AKAMAN

Thank YOU for your support^^

AKAMAN

Here's a pic of the screen cutoff I'm getting from the widescreen: *SPOILER NSFW* <a href="https://imgur.com/a/WZBY2ci" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://imgur.com/a/WZBY2ci</a> *SPOILER NSFW* Looks like some of the art was cut-off :o don't know if that's intentional or not. Just wanted to make sure ya see this C:

Zirex

Можешь заспойлерить плз в 3 эпизоде будет секс с гермионой?

You just made my day, thank you!

WHOA! My name in your post!... And kindly share your discord channel ID man ^^

MUPLUR

Thanks Ace! You're the best, man.

AKAMAN

^_^

AKAMAN

I will. I have so many of them. I'm surprised it never crossed my mind to share them.

AKAMAN

^^

AKAMAN

^^

AKAMAN

You call it a glitch, I call it a new feature: the game is a true wide-screen now. ^^

AKAMAN

Seeing this in my feed has been a nice pick me up.

Junopea

Thanks man, please keep posting this scans!

MANITU Games

НАКОНЕЦТО!!!! Теперь ждать русификатор и публичный выпуск

I love you too, fella!

Alfred M

Fuck yeah!! I'm excited to play it!! :D Firstly, one glitch I've encountered so far: the screen of the game is a bit cut-off at the bottom. I loaded up my old SC34 to double check. You can quickly notice it on "The Broadcasting Studio". I haven't really dived in yet though, Going to play it out in a few. Thank you for all your hard work once again!! Is an amazing surprise :D :D Edit: The screen cut-off is overall and everywhere, not just the Studio :P Thought I'd clarify :P

Zirex

We love you, I can now die happy, keep the great job

Ace
