I guess the beta will be out sometime in the 2nd week of June.
Ummm what in that post makes you say that?? I ask because inevitably someone will come back here the 2nd week in June and be disappointed when an update doesn't come. Then we will get the "Somebody posted it was the 2nd week of June" they heard.

So what in that post makes you say 2nd week of June?

It's an assumption he started by saying "I guess" meaning a possibility not a guarantee, if you take for granted when something starts with guess,possible,maybe etc. your bound for disappointment

Thank You for your opinion but I'll wait for his answer.

Updates to quality are never bad. If you don't think there is much new content, replay it to see the upgraded scenes.
Aside from the upgraded scenes, one thing I wish the dev did was add more options to those scenes. You couldn´t do missionary in a certain scene? Now there´s an option for it. You could only get a blowjob? Now there´s a penetration scene too. Stuff like that.

I can finally start writing! Took some extra time, but I also worked on some small repeatables aside from the three big scenes, such as Emilia servicing the MC during dinner.

If you have more suggestions about everyday situations you would like to see, feel free to post them! Whatever helps the household feel more lively is great in my opinion.

Render progress:
Queen / Lirah / Talia: 100%
Date with Zahra: 90%
Igor visits Kateryna: 90%

Short repeatables:
Emilia's kitchen service: 100%
Ain's wakeup service: 100%

Reworks:
First return home / Ain's introduction (d1c): 100%
Shani's introduction (d1d): 100%
Kyra in basement (d4a): 100%
Shani's workout (d4c + d5a): 100%
Ain's new room (d4f): 100%
Short distant Ivy cutscene (d4h): 100%
Lirah brings Emilia (d5h): 100%

Animations: 0%
Coding: 0%
So if I understood correctly, the Emilia scene will be one of the main ones, right? Or is a repeatable?

I agree, but hell it's hard to just get dev's (in general) to do alternates in scenes that have penetration.

Like the spooning while fucking the woman from behind with her top leg held up. It is a nice position that when done well in games looks amazing because everything moves and you have a clear picture of the action. Of course if it's done bad it is instantly visible.

I think some of the positions are chosen in games because they are easier to "get close" but not really have to have as much focus on detail. It's understandable, but AVN's like porn games need that money shot and good visuals.. Haha, when they are bad visuals (like sex where the dudes cock comes out 3 to 6 inches away from the pussy on each stroke) they can be amusing in an eye rolling type way too.

While i agree it's never bad to have upgrades, when updates are barelly twice a year, one can wait after the game is done to do so. It's like telling me the new patch/dlc is finally coming to an MMO or any game, you get a few new current quests and a few tweaks and spell name changes of a couple of the last expansion bosses and a new cutscene. And you are telling me, oh, there's new content, just restart from scratch, experience 95% of the same content plus a few graphically upgraded scenes with a few different dialog lines. What's to say the next update, or every other update will not also be 3 more scenes and 7 reworks? Still extremely dissapointing to me.

Everyone understands that the start of any long term game will look a bit worst and will look better over time as the dev gets more skills and experience. I want more raider content, more palace content, more exploration, more mutant queen breeding, heck, id even take more mutant or decayed content, (not so much the Rabiah arc, i find it stupid and boring), not redoing the introduction to most family members and training sessions.

We should realize that developers are thinking not just about those of us who have been playing their games for a long time, but also those who have just now picked up their games. The developers want those new players to keep playing and perhaps even support the developers financially, and not be turned away by dated graphics.

Also, there is no law that says we older players must play the newly refurbished scenes. Personally, I just keep going from where I left off, and only play those new scenes when they are recurring. Plus, if I feel the need to see an older scene that has been redone, there is always the gallery. There is no need for me to restart.

Only the Animations and coding is left and from what I have learnt from the past few updates is that it takes the dev two weeks to sort those out. Thats why I am saying this. He will probably announce the date anyway on his next devlog.

I agree.

I'll add, in my case, that I will use a major holiday (like the end of year with more time off/reduced work hours) and restart an AVN that has had new content added retroactively through time, but I only do this for AVNs that have really held my interest through time.

DS has been such a good AVN that I am looking forward to that restart so I can enjoy all of the updated content as a more complete/immersive experience.

The scene of the MC, Shani and the Queen Never gets old!

Cheers!! :coffee:

Yep, this is understandable, but.. Consider this.. New people are starting the game daily.

What do you think will influence them, if they start a game that has graphics that are worse then current edition? Will they have the same impulse to keep playing you, or others, did that have stuck around? Or maybe, just maybe, those upgrades that might not be your preference, bring in another supporter or game purchaser if they are on Steam or other platform.

So yep, understand the concept, but know that you're not the only one the game is for and honestly, unless you are a supporter on Patreon, SS or somewhere else or purchaser of the game, then your opinion really doesn't count if these changes bring in more actual financial support. If you ARE a supporter of the game then by all means, use the Steam platform, the dev's discord or their Patreon/SS or other page to voice your concerns there so they are heard.

Complaining on a pirate site, that the free shit your getting isn't up to your standards is like pissing in the wind. Pretty funny to see someone do, but pointless overall.

This really isn't true at all this site bring a lot of eyes on the games that gives creators money and the better rating games get the more inclined people are to check them out. The more views they get the more potential supporters they get so they aren't useless. Idk why you are even here if you don't want to hear about people discuss the game. There is no doubt this site has made him extra money it also can be used to see how well the game does if he wants a larger sample size if one update does extremely well and another one not so well that can be useful for the dev. If the dev does what the community as a whole wants this could bring him more new support. This site effectively works as advertisement for his game like a business people want high ratings for their business it would logically make sense that he would want high rating for his game as well even if they don't directly increase in the short term. Your average user holds that power here

I wasn´t even going to that extreme of complexity with the scenes. I´m just saying it would be nice for them to add a few variations to a scene that didn´t have them before. I´m not talking about doing positions that are hard to animate, the usual positions are just fine. And of course this is just wishful thinking on my part, I really am not expecting the Devs to do that. Reworking them to look better is already enough.

Aside from the scene reworks something that could up the hotness of the scenes is improving the writing during sex as well. IMO some of the hottest games I've played didn't even have animation or modern DAZ renders but had really titillating writing. Sounds of copulation in combination with the above would be great too.
If the devs could combine that with their great renders the game could easily go to the next level.

I really can't wait for the update to come out so I can play it completely again. This was my first adult game and I honestly think I played it badly. I can't wait to fix that <3

If you have more suggestions about everyday situations you would like to see, feel free to post them! Whatever helps the household feel more lively is great in my opinion.

Render progress:
Queen / Lirah / Talia: 100%
Date with Zahra: 90%
Igor visits Kateryna: 90%

Short repeatables:
Emilia's kitchen service: 100%
Ain's wakeup service: 100%

Reworks:
First return home / Ain's introduction (d1c): 100%
Shani's introduction (d1d): 100%
Kyra in basement (d4a): 100%
Shani's workout (d4c + d5a): 100%
Ain's new room (d4f): 100%
Short distant Ivy cutscene (d4h): 100%
Lirah brings Emilia (d5h): 100%

Animations: 0%
Coding: 0%
This suggestion wouldn't be so much as a sexy time repeatable, but it would be nice to see more of Zahra and Zaton's backstory. If I'm not mistaken, very early on in Desert Stalker Zahra mentioned how her and Zaton had to struggle greatly to reach the point they are currently at. By now, we know Zahra is alot more cunning/eloquent/assertive than she is given credit for, but in the flashbacks with Rabiah she was more-so quiet/laid-back. Maybe there might already be more reminiscing during their date, but I would to see more history of their humble beginnings.
I guess an additional repeatable for everyday household life would be, depending on your earlier interactions with Ain, she is actively pursuing other interests to find a passion (like Shani has for being a Desert Stalker). Maybe another repeatable would be Emilia sharing her "household chores" with Fairy at the command of Zaton or Zahra, etc.
