Sadly, it's due to a general lack of interest and support for the original game.  But I hope all the separate endings I have planned for this one will wrap up the story in a very satisfactory way for everyone while leaving things open for the possible sequels.  I'm not fully ruling out Falling Stars 2 and 3, as I have the base stories written for them but it seems unlikely at this point.

There will be some pregnancy in one, possibly two, of the endings. There is in-game pregnancy planned for Falling Stars 2 but I'm not sure that game will be happening, unfortunately.

OK, I've found the problem! That was the new House Show match from V.0.7.2.  So, I think that maybe what might have happened is that you've accidentally overwritten your prompt save from the final stadium event in V.0.7.0. (this is where you're told that you're almost at the end of the current version and you should save your game now).
Do you have any save from just before that final event, or even a copy of the prompt save?  If so, you can load either of these and you should be able to jump into the new content without any problems.
If not, there are a couple of easy fixes for it but I'd need to send you a file. If you can email me an address I can send it to, I think we can get this solved pretty quickly for you!

I'm not sure why it would be doing that. Are you loading from the prompt that came during the final stadium event or somewhere else?
And when you load, is it skipping straight to Yuki and Tessa, or does it show any of the scene you saved at?

Again, very much appreciate the love for the game!
The biggest time sink with these animations was getting them all made, then working how to code it all in. All this is done now. I have a bunch more animations ready to add as we go along and they're going to take a fraction of the time of the first batch, as the framework is now all in place.
And I get that you want the story faster. No one does more than I do, haha! I know the last couple of updates have taken a ridiculously long time to get finished but that was down to unavoidable personal issues, unfortunately.
Some people think this is what I do full time. The truth is, I'm just one guy with (very) limited computer skills doing this whole thing alone, ON TOP of my 60/hr per week dayjob. Falling Stars doesn't have nearly enough support for me to even consider doing this as a part time job, let alone full time, which is why updates take as long as they take. I spend every spare moment I have on this thing but there are only so many minutes in a day, ya know?
Anyway, your kind words are noted and appreciated, my friend! :)

Thank you! The new update will be out in around 2 weeks and includes a BIG new scene for the twins :)

Thank you, glad you're enjoying it!
I get what you're saying about the 'toggle' button but there's a reason I didn't go for something like that.
There are a lot of things in the open world part of the game, like the House Show matches, Taka phone calls, Sunset road stories etc which aren't generally essential reading for the main story but they're a big part of making Todogawa a whole world.If there was a skip button, I think a lot of people would just miss out on some this.
That said, if you have any other ideas for the game, I'm always open to suggestions! :)

Thank you! V.0.8.0. will be out very soon! :)

There's a scroll bar at the right hand side of the screen. Scroll down and you'll see all the other available matches :)

Thank you! Glad you're enjoying things so far and that the tips are helping :) Honestly, even for those of us who've been watching wrestling for many years, some of the lore and inside references can get pretty confusing at times and the level of 'gatekeeping' from certain people can be outright ridiculous. Not here, though! Todogawa welcomes all visitors ;)

Quality is what I'm always going for, which is one of the reasons why larger updates have been taking so long recently.
On the other hand, though, it means that major updates for this game are usually pretty big. The last one had over 2 hours of new content, V.0.8.0. will probably be a little bigger than that.
Ideally, I'll get back to the the 3 month cycle which is around what I was hitting up to V.0.6.0. but real life has a habit of constantly getting in the way, haha!
Also, totally agree on the glory days! I miss AJPW, ECW...even The Brooklyn Brawler and Barry Horowitz!

Thank you so much, man! The next House Show update, with Yuki's latest opponent, Kickass Cass, should be out in around a week or so.
Then, the next major update, V.0.8.0, I'm hoping will be before the end of the year. I'm hard at work on it right now but unfortunately it's been slow going due to real life work commitments. It's going to be a BIG update, though, so I'm hoping you'll all feel it's worth the wait! :)

Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying things so far :) You'll be finding out a lot more about what Mirai has planned in V.0.8.0!

Thank you, that comment made my day!

Thank you!

Haha, awesome! Cheers, mate! I did a lot of research to find the right words and phrases for them, glad it came across well :)

Thank you so much, it's always great to hear that people are enjoying the game! :) You are, again, right on the money with your name catches there, haha! As to the 'missing' stuff, I'm guessing you mean in the replay gallery? There are a few scenes where choices can add or remove a scene, for example, there's Saki's cosplay scene which is one of the ones you're missing. If you choose the 'Ann' cosplay, you miss the 'Tifa' one, and vice versa, and there's another choice with Mirai that works out in slightly different ways depending on how you've been treating her. There aren't a lot of scenes you can lock yourself out from, but I'll try to work out some way for everyone to unlock anything they've missed for the next vesion :)

No, you won't get locked in to any particular fetish, you'll always get the option to choose whichever one you want :) And good work on those names, you're spot on with both Sunset and Jumbo, haha! With Iron Head, I honestly didn't write him with any particular wrestler in mind, he's more of an amalgamation of lots of shady promotors, but the Tully comparison makes a lot of sense! There are a lot more of these kind of 'easter eggs' in the game, so let me know if you find any more :)

Thank you, glad you're enjoying it! Choices DO matter to an extent, but they mostly influence how certain people act towards you, rather than affecting the overall story. For example, if you're constantly mean to Mirai, she's going to remember that going forward, and will act differently than if you were more affectionate. That said, you'll always be given a chance to correct things later if you find your relationship with anyone going in a way you don't like. There are no 'right or wrong' choices, just play it how you feel is right for you, and you'll be fine :)

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

OK, thank you. That's what I wanted to know. I have a content warning screen already in place at the start of the game, so that isn't an issue

Not at all, but what I mean is, if I was to list it as a non adult game, would it get pulled for having bad language and drug references?

I have a game on the site that's very much an 'Adult' title, but I also have a SFW version of it, which contains no nudity or sexual content. I've been thinking of putting the SFW version up on here as well, but it still contains strong language and adult themes. Would this mean that it would still be classed as an 'Adult' game, despite being SFW?

No, sorry! This game is focused on women's wrestling, and the goal of getting your girls to the Holy Mountain event.

Glad you're enjoying it so far! There will be plenty more scenes with Kris, but I'm not sure if you're asking about storyline or sex scenes.

If you mean sex scenes...possibly. BUT Kris is only into girls, so if anything does happen, it won't be directly with the MC. Kris is really more of a storyline character than any kind of sexual one.

Yeah, you can share on Twitter, no problem! The balancing so far has seemed pretty good, I've had no complaints but I'll keep an eye on it and let you know when I've had a bit more time to play it :)

Love the game so far! Ali Dia showed up, 6 of my players got injured organising a yard sale and my star midfielder started acting strangely and changed his name to Captain America! One thing the game badly needs, though, is a way to clear your squad for mid season free agents. I tried selling players before it happens, but they just get replaced by youth team members, so the squad is still full and you can't sign anyone. Other than that, this is a lot of fun!

When I first load up the game, all I get is this screen, which doesn't do anything. However, if you press 'space', the options appear. Not clear that that's what you need to do. Not had time to play it much yet yet, but what I've seen so far has been a lot of fun! 

No, thank you for following the game, it's very much appreciated! I hope you enjoy the new update, sorry it took so long!

You should check your Discord sometime, man! Been trying to reach you on there!

Thanks, man! Appreciate your positive energy :)

The game is not showing up in new releases. The release announcement I put up yesterday is on page 5 of the release announcements with stuff from 3 days ago.  I just don't get why it's been pushed so far down when others that were put up in the same timeframe are still on the first or second page. I apologise if I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what it is.

Hi, i'm sorry to bring this up here but I have contacted supporst more than once and I still haven't had an answer over a week later.

I put up the first paid release of my game, Falling Stars, over a week ago. I know that the first paid release needs to be manually reviewed but it didn't get listed at all in a week. I put up a release announcement but that was taken down almost immediately and I have no idea why. I contacted support but got no reply.

Yesterday, I put up the free release. Again, it hasn't been listed but I understand that this may be down to it being the weekend. I put up a release announcement yesterday as well but this is now on the fourth page of announcements with stuff from 3 days ago. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong or why my release announcements are seemingly getting buried.

- Added a total of 18 new scenes!
- This version contains around 117,00 words, 2,083 images and 15 animated lewd scenes!
- Background music added for all scenes, for PC and Mac versions. It's very basic right now, still a work in progress, but at least there's something!

Come meet the girls here!

Because I'm dumb and didn't know how version numbers worked on the first release! Hahaha!
