Ren'Py Desert Stalker [v0.17.1.2 Steam] [Zetan]

[rspkers]

This game has a really unique setting, and the youngest daughter is a fantastic character. I really dig it. MC is an actual adult for a change, and an alpha at that. I have to say though, it's a real shame the dev censored his game for reasons unknown and then chastised the community for asking why. I don't think the original narrative encouraged wife beating or anything of the sort. I don't see anyone on the forum suggesting this either. I think it's natural for people who enjoy your game to express disappointment over self-censorship for no understandable reason, especially if the change detracts from the game rather than adds to it. It's understandable if you've changed your mind with the elf, and wanted her to be included later on. But you should communicate these intentions. Honestly, some better communication, rather than blaming others and kinkshaming would probably be the better discourse. This isn't to excuse some of the rudeness expressed by some posters here. I just didn't expect the dev to issue attacks instead of explanations. The new "uncut" and "cut" versions are pretty much the same game now. The original options in the story felt more realistic and immersive given the context and world. The raider girl now has no real consequence for her actions and is pretty much a school bully who did an oopsie. It's a bit of an odd "fix" given the circumstances. I like the idea of being brutal to your enemies, but still be a loving and caring dad to your wife and two daughters. You don't have to go extremes here, it should be based on context. In otherwords, why not both when appropriate?

I have to echo what alexrieper said and I'd recommend SubscribeStar instead of Patreon as well. Patreon has some seriously draconian rules regarding what the hivemind deems "appropriate". Perhaps this has something to do with your self-censorship? Either way, SS is a much more open-minded site that functions the same way. Most people are heading over there now with their projects. It'll definitely save you from the obvious issues you'll face with the incest you have in this game. Even if it's not explicitly stated, people on Patreon will eventually flag it. Here's hoping the drama floats away and creativity flows instead. Looking forward to more of this as the premise for this game is pretty damn cool.

Looking Good, But... Demo... Content... Nah...

Femdom avoidable ??
What is gore ??

This game is really promising, the world-building is compelling and the characters and scenes are hot, but there are one or two jarring design decisions. Like having six menu options where five of them are "pick the other one".

 

[Cynicaladm]

if I may offer one bit of constructive criticism, I would argue that in multiple choice situations, one expects a choice offered to matter, not to lead to an immediate "wrong choice, try again" screen.
I understand some of the multiple choices are listed with an eye towards further content being added (I am thinking about the choices at the home base location), but when you offer me to choose between say, defend myself or save my daughter and only one of those choices doesn't end the game almost immediately, it probably works better if you don't waste time offering that choice (and having to work on the renderings that follow in the brief step between making the wrong choice and seeing why it is the wrong choice).
from a narrative point of view, and from a payload point of view, it just isn't worth the effort.
Now, I understand if you want to use that "split" to offer a few crude panels to underscore the hardship and letality of the environment, but I would suggest that working it into the narrative would work better... so, in the aforementioned multiple choice, I would have the daughter be wounded/her resolve being affected/her status with her father change in further narrative..but definitely survive the moment.. that would make for a meaningful decision that impacts the game, rather than a game ender, which is both unsatisfying and pointless, not to mention extra work for you. Failing that, simply do not put that multiple choice option in the game and proceed the narrative. less work for you, and a better flowing game experience for us.

On a sidenote, I was digging the pissing scene with its contour of humiliation and "put in place" that resonates with the general vibe of the setting... if ever you decide to rework things again, I would suggest putting that back. It works within the narrative and it is a kink that a handful of other games explore without issue... an argument could also be made for the larger significance of the gesture in a desert setting... you're using precious bodily fluids to impart a lesson and establish rank in a kinky Dune-esque statement. (or maybe I'm overthinking it and arguing the case because it's one of my kinks..but you have to admit I make a good case )

Will there be any femdom? Or just wrong tag. Thanks

When I played it (first came out, haven't since then, so don't know if it changed) there was ZERO femdom. I think they gave it the tag just because the first raider girl implied she had a dom relationship with the other two...absolute horseshit reason to slap the tag on it. It was a very much maledom game when I played it. Whether its changed or not now, I dunno, but unless the dev completely had a change of heart on how his MC is going to act, its safe to say he will never be dominated and at most you might get some lezdom or something from side characters.

TL;DR: If you're here for the femdom tag, don't bother

 

[AinzOoalGown1]

Yeah u had me at Harem tag and no ntr, good luck on ze road ahead.

" 4. Regarding NTR: No NTR planned. You will not lose control in any scenes. Maybe "whoring out" certain girls, but that would be 100% avoidable. Trust me. (Made it short for clarity) "

Straight from the patreon post, to make it easier to find and read.

Hope those certain girls for whoring are not from the "family". Looked like Ain will have optional whoring stuff when she said "only if you say..".

From checking the script I say the queen will have a femdom route, depending on how the player responds when she say's kneel you get a dom or a sub point for her.

Like to see turm based combat. There is a perfect base for that

 

[wiseold6996]

Great game

 

[peleringris]

Great start: the story, the visuals, the genre, the choices... I could only wish for more (fluid/smooth) animations during the already very nice sex scenes!

 

[FroKe88]

Really liked the game, will probably support, when I have more money again

 

[Cornfield]

I also think this is an excellent game, however I have a problem.

Hey, thanks for the good words...

A very interesting game.
I have a question: Can I know the future consequences of choosing how to save an elven girl?

 

[nes0]

I like it a lot, but I prefer how panned out the first blowjob scene in version 0.1: it was more abusive, like an hate-fuck should be. Now it is a pretty mild bj. Just my 2 cents, it's great anyway!

 

[Paapi]

Good one

It's not too bad, but the beat up made more sense in my opinion considering the setting and adversary... Who in their right mind, would put their cock in her mouth considering the situation? Beating her up first, would make more sense in a post apocalyptic situation... I mean, she ain't the slut you pick up after closing time in a night club ^_^

One small suggestion I'd like to add, would be to add on the choices, the kind of points you'll be getting, if any (DOM/sub/etc), as it's not always obvious which choices would give what points
