Ren'Py Desert Stalker [v0.16 Beta] [Zetan]

[Ka1tzer]

Played it. Some people's reaction make no sense to me. I do have some misgivings which I'll detail below, but overall I feel that this was a better update than the last one. Here's my feedback, for whatever it's worth:

Overall, I expected more focus in the update, but it is by no means a bad update. And everything that is in there, is top notch quality, as usual.

I kind of wish she would stab her cheating (not)incestuous husband in his sleep

Why would she stab her cheating husband if he was having fun with other girls with her permission? Is this Mc the only type of man who doesn’t tell all women how best they are, but always mentions his wife at times and even praises her in front of other women. Doesn't it bother you that when the husband is on missions, the wife is having fun with her daughter? especially with your youngest daughter?

Sad to see so many people making the ridiculous claims that the dev's level of effort went down with the amount of money he gets from supporters, knowing how much time and effort he and the team put into this.

Sure, it's not as exciting as the first Raider camp update was. But what we got were some nice, hot, sexy-time scenes with Ain + Nadia and Shani. We learned more of Ivy/Yuna and Somni's background, which I love from a story perspective. We finally learned what happened to Zion. A sexy little harem scene with Shani and Kat. Fairy's broken scenes looked hot (though I don't like that path because Fairy is too sweet to not be loved). And a slew of bugs fixed. There's at least over 700 new renders added for those scenes since the October release, from what I counted.

Putting together that animation for Sekhmet's Legion was quite a doozy and took a good amount of time. You all might not appreciate that now because you're in the phase of "gimme nao", but I think of it from a finished product perspective. The people who get to play this for the first time when it's completed are in for a real treat. I'm a bit envious of them.



0.14d was released in October 2023, so it definitely was not 6 months.


Perhaps because the version of Ren'Py used for Desert Stalker is 7.5.3, which is still Python 2, while Ren'Py 8 uses Python 3.

That explain it, will download the version 7 of the launcher thanks !

The most interesting parts of the Beta are the Legion presentation and the elf story bits.
Sex scenes are good but at this point Zaton fucking his family is like procedural content.

 

[Tophh]

I can understand why some people want more content and gripe because it just means they love the game but remember folks the vast majority of us are playing this for free.
We don't really have the right to complain too much.
All that said I would rather wait a good while and see a huge update then these incremental patches. I would have 0 issues replaying this game every time there is a big update.
Thus far this remains my favorite AVN on this site.

Thinking people have no right to complain because they get the game for free is the most retarded redditor cuck take ever.
Their complaints reflect the reasons why they are not buying the game.

Any way of enabling gore after disabling it during the initial set-up?

Load a save, right-click to bring up the game menu, click Edit Details. Scroll down to Gore filter.

I 100% agree with the camera critique and have mentioned it several times myself. I wish the dev would do like some other AVNs and let us flick between a couple camera angles ourselves.
Still it's a testament to how hot the scenes are that I am still able to enjoy them while hating the camera at the same time.
Also a story that would hold up even without the porn IMO. (Don't get me wrong I still want to some pixelated ass lol)

Oh I'm sure they would buy the game they are getting for free while engaging on a PIRATE site if the dev catered to them lol.
Move along kiddo the adults are talking.

Not everybody is able to use websites like Patreon since it requires a creditcard which is not a common thing to have in for example Europe.
Also many many devs use F95 as free marketing this is not just a pure pirating website.

 

[Gari Fuze]

Well, I was right, a 3month wait for about 2 scenes and half mini scene. Idk if it is worth it with this game. Scenes were okay but nothing special.

I know! Even back in Oasis scene it was already present. Hot AF, but what is up with those angles?! And with several other characters too, like Emilia. Getting a zoom in in one of her harem scenes in which she squirts as you penetrate her and she forces her way down on you as you fish was hot AF, but the entire pounding that happened prior to that had very 'meh' angles.

Ain being one of my favorite AVN characters ever has yet to get a scene in an angle I can fully appreciate her the way I like. The Shani + Queen thermae scene also felt like a missed opportunity for me, mostly on account of angles yet again (but also some position and the way it was animated).

And if it ever happens that a "cuck scene" gets added with the angles I like for the girls instead of it being a Zetan scene, I'm rioting and burning this game from memory and deleting it.

Anyhow, sorry for the mini rant. I do like this game a lot, but clearly some aspects of it have been making me increasingly annoyed.

The more money a developer gets in a month, the longer the updates takes to develop and the less content we get. Thats why I never donate anyone.

Unfortunately there is a lot of truth in what you say.

100% Bullshit and a super entitled attitude, you didn't pay for it you have 0 fuckin rights to complain. Or more correctly you have zero rights to complain and have anyone give a fuck about your complaints.

You go out steal a car and get caught speeding, and run from the cops. You crash the car Nobody gives a fuck if you think the handling on the car was bad and the manufacturer should have tailored it to your driving style.

Any complaints, gripes or BS people say here would be the last place I would respond to as a dev. People who actively subscribe and support would get the attention and fuck the crying "I need a hero" people.

Yeah I'm sure most will disagree because this is a shareware/Pirate forum and everyone thinks they are entitled to free updates.

I actually bought games on this site.
The reason i come here is to see before i buy and see do they deserve support.
Other reason is to just piss people off lol
But nobody pissed me off more than this game.

The elder tier is literally a scam.
Imagine paying double money just to play buggy version. The whole patreon is so scummy its designed precisely and profesionally for cash grab.
Fuck that shit never again.
Im proud with other devs i support but this one is a literal joke.
Like why even break raider quest into first part.
Just release whole thing ffs.
Im fucking good with money but even i have limits with bullshits like those.

Yup look at summertime saga, game was last i checked in the top 10 earners on patreon and has been stuck in "technical backend updates" for over a year now.
Or even worse Ecchi sensei which just doesnt even release updates while still milking thousands a month cus everybody daring to even speak out about bluecat gets banned from the circlejerk discord.

It's not a scam. The top tier supporters simply have more disposable income or like the game enough to part with their cash.

I did not get the Shani and Kateryna scene....Do I need to start a new game?? Also, there is a new wake-up scene. I forgot the name, but it's a 3some scene with a girl in a white dress!!
ANYBODY HAS ANY SOLUTION??
THANK YOU!!

Shani and Kateryna scene is one of the living room scenes and the wake up scenes you get after using one of the sleep with x character options.

In what way is it a scam? When you look at the tiers, it clearly tells you what you get. Early access to beta testing before the release. Do you know what a beta means in terms of software development? It means it's going to have bugs.

You must be registered to see the links

So you see that it's giving you beta access in the tier description itself, but don't want a buggy version... and yet still subscribe to it? That's on you. Besides, the tier is there for people who want to provide more support. It's optional. No one is forcing anyone. And as a benefit, you get the beta testing access. Don't want that? Sub to a lower tier for the official release.
