Ren'Py Desert Stalker [v0.19.4] [Zetan]

[Evil Surgeon]

Shame on you - a month without shaving as a modern man?

Are you kidding me? Right now it's looking like 1975 down there in my meaty man region.

Your dick has a proper mullet?

 

[Evil Surgeon]

Maybe sideburns. No, wait.. yeah.. all I'm saying is you can get lost down there.

I'm by no means no fucking modern man. I'm an old style classic toxic hunk dude in his 40's and that's what i'm going to be for the forseeable future. And i sure don't shave anywhere lower then my bald head B)

 

[Catherine♡]

This is definitely one of the weirdest thread here geez.

I finished the game for the first time, now I have the big sad. On a scale of NLT Media to Isctor, what are the update times like for this gem?

Our Desert Stalker MC dry shaves his head and manbush with a rusty knife that he previously used to gut a raider. But he does have sense enough to leave the beard.

Damn good. Often 3 to 4 months.

I get this error when going to buy groceries and meeting with the survived kidnapper. I can't find a workaround to get past it. I'm the only one getting this?

I got another error (I fixed the previous one editing the source file to move on...)

This happened during the night in the oasis

 

[Vakt]

I get this one too (also 0.09b version).
ZetanDS

same

 

[Ifartedtoolong]

That can be fixed by either making a copy of one of the audio files and renaming it or downloading and extracting the files from the DesertStalker-0.08b-pc version and grabbing the audio file from there and adding it to your game.

Regarding the crash in the market, it was a last minute typo that slipping in. It will be fixed in 0.09c but for now you should be able to safely press "ignore" and carry on.

As for the missing audio, which version are you playing? Normal or compressed?

 

[Ifartedtoolong]

missing audio

neverland.mp3 is missing from DesertStalker-0.09a-pc not sure on desert-stalker-v0-09b if it's missing from that one or not as I never downloaded that one as I never hit any errors with the one that I was using.

ah.. yes.... I have heard of these modern men... Someone told me there are places where they congregate...only I can't remember what those places are called..

ah, yes.. the ladies room.

I was going to comment that I find it interesting how the discussions here continuously seems to gravite towards a philosophical debate, and then you post this!

Dominance is ultimately determined by personal power, which can be defined by combat prowess, scheming, charisma, personal wealth or any other metric or tool that allows a man or woman to be the winner in the confrontations they decide, or are forced by fate, to enter.


Male concubines/or sex slaves don't appear on screen because they hold no interest for the main character and the vast majority of the players, not because they don't exist.
In fact, in the scene where you buy Fairy from the merchant (instead of getting her from the decayed brothers) you were initially offered a male slave, sitting in the cage next to Fairy's. That scene was altered and focused on Fairy for simplicity's sake and because, again, male MC, power trip, yada, yada, yada...

Did you guys ever consider to include an optional gay scene where the MC has (some form of) sex with (or rapes) a submissive male?

Don't kill me, but I think it might fit into the story. Optional only, of course.

It would indeed fit in the social environment.. as a form of submission/humiliation/establishing pecking order.
I am personally not particularly interested in seeing it but wouldn't be opposed to it being scripted/insterted in the game.
That said, I have a feeling ZetanDS would also not be interested in seeing it... and since he'd be the one making the art and having to stare at it for hours, I feel like that's something he would not be ready to do if I ever asked him to.

but again, I am not particularly motivated into asking him on account of not swinging that way and preferring to write about things I know how to relate to, how to portray them, and kinks/sexual practices I am more familiar with.
So I don't think we'll ever see that happen.

That's actually not bad at all. I assumed it was a project on a rather slow release pace, but this it a very decent schedule.
