I cant understand why everyones saying the updates short; theres significant story progression, 3-4 sex scenes not counting the new repeatable events. Wasnt this how usually each update is normally?

Update is a bit short but even if it was a similar length to the previous update there will always be people that will still complain.
At least this dev isnt burning bridges like other games by introducing unwanted genres into the game or suddenly switching to AI art.

Someday we will get interesting and sexy content with Zahra...:cautious: I would like to see how she enjoys with her husband's harem while he is away, or where she and her husband dominate the girls, like this one with Ain, that was a hot punishing scene:devilish:

Fairy broken scene features Zahra, where she dominates Fairy together with MC.

Another great update, apart from some visual bugs I'm sure will get ironed out since this is just the beta version, but the Shani scene confused me a little. She and MC act like it's her first time sucking him off, but she did so earlier in the 'Reunion' scene that features the entire family. Is this new scene supposed to be chronologically earlier, or is it just a mistake by the dev?

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.

Ok, but why bother like that. If only there would be a single tier with this much high price and such raw, unpolished state, I would agree. But it’s just a way to support the creator. If they would just delayed the release or broaden the work cycle, nobody would’ve complained.

Fact is when it comes to games like this where the work put in is obviously disproportionate to the money it's taking in... people who are paying are straight up being scammed - it's okay to be upset that other people are getting scammed. I wish people would actually remember or care to revoke their subs, actually give the dev a reason to care, scare them that their cash cow might dry up, but they won't. They either forget they have the subscription or are so down bad for the game they're willing to pay out the nose just for the chance the project gets finished. Maybe some people can afford it and they don't care idk. Either way, people don't deserve to have their money taken for the expectation the project gets worked on at a reasonable pace while the author releases 10 hours of work every couple months, even if we are getting it for free.

Like it's nuts that people pay 60 bucks for a triple-A game but they pay 5 bucks a month for 3 years (180 bucks) or more on a product that never gets finished.

It's crazy to me that it's so damn ubiquitous. I know no one it actually effects is going to read this, but please for the love of fuck only donate to projects that give weekly updates and you can tell are producing reasonable amounts of work, it's only going to change if people stop giving them money.

It looks actually silly for me compare the budgets and production forces in the professional team, making their way to commertionalize the final product, and a small team of developers, making a porn game for a specific niсhe of people. Both may be passionate about their job, both thy to make a living out of it. But in the strive to make everyone happy it's easy to lose the face of a creation you oathed to make when you only started your journey. Thank God this game is lacking microtransactions (or paid sex-scenes) and log-in to play via (Patreon) account, like other AAA-games. And the progress may slow down, but it've never stopped. Like Leonardo da Vinci took a fifth of a decade to create a Mona Lisa, let the authors of the game slowly create their masterpiece.
Altrough this comparison is quite ambiguous, I hope it delivers the point.
But, speaking simply, just enjoy the game ;)

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.

I legit think people that are complaining play the game in skip mode..And are only looking for "scenes"
