Finally getting to this update. After having experienced so many other VNs recently, it seems to me there's something in this one - programming commands, render size, something - that makes it turn into a memory hog. It glitches between slides much more than any other of the VNs I've been playing. It moves through the Cut Scenes pretty well (no real delay), but the Shani fight scene on the way out of the Zone, where we had to chose moves, glitched after each choice, and the fact that clicking the choice didn't have immediate effect, but kept the "timer" running, making me think maybe the action didn't take, was also a bit disconcerting. Still enjoying it, but the jerky-ness and flashes of nonsense moving between renders is a little annoying.
Also, someone may have noted before, but the conversations after Shani's return seem to assume you attacked the guy immediately in the zone, rather than drawing him in and taking him off-guard and unarmed. I suppose she could have gotten some kind of cut in the final battle, but that didn't seem to be the case.
Unlike many, though, I didn't have any trouble advancing tasks so far, but it seems important to do celebration first, Shani bedroom second, then Library - my guess is the folks that ran into trouble went straight to the bedroom assuming a lewd scene would take place (horny, unthinking bastards ). If you read and pay attention to the quest log, you'll get the order right, though.
For now, I think I've done all things Shani (but without doing Shani, yet...) and the quest can progress to the Queen, etc.
Final thought: after seeing modders add in naming and having no trouble whatsoever in the save retaining the name of the save I loaded, it is really kind of a pain when making a save in a VN with the capability built-in, but the name suggested isn't the same as the name of the save you loaded, but some other name from another save running different variables. This isn't the only VN where I've experienced this, but after doing another VN just a few days ago that didn't have this issue, it is fresh on my mind. I'd think this was a basic RenPy function, possibly even a modular "check the box" kind of thing, but maybe it takes heavy lifting to make it work. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, that look that Mila Kunis' character, Solara, has in the film is part of it. That's combined with a scene where Denzel's character (Eli) specifically does the same. He cuts off a bandit's hand, and the guy replies with something that doesn't make sense. When the other bandits look confused, he then says the leader is in shock and that he meant, "Kill him". And Shani in this scene disappears into the shadows as he did, and parts of the fight scene are similar in style to the scene that was shot in the film. It's extremely obviously an homage to that part of the film, which was an excellent one BTW.
Maybe but remember there have been a few times where the first person view shifted from zaton like during the house party at Igor's home when he was staring at Zahra's boobs.

Where do we get this scene?
