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

I've actually been considering asking the mods to remove the last review.
on one hand, it's the review that put the game in 7th place, for whatever that's worth...
on the other hand, it's written by chatgpt and is as generic as can be, on account of how gpt is sanitized from adult content, and it reads like a review for fallout, rather than DS... so... it feels a bit scummy to take it.. then again, I do believe the game is good enough for that rating, all things considered.. so.. really torn. I guess I'll just wait out a couple more reviews and then ask the mods to remove it..wherever that may land the game.

Having her stay with mom. Blood is thicker than water.

Taking her back to the base is the moral(she keeps her identity/individualism) and longterm strategic option, leaving there is immoral(her identity is subordinate to the hive queen) option but probably short term strategically necessary option. The hive is about as trust worthy as the decayed, less consistent in actions, and probably can quickly grow to unmanageable levels if given a steady supply of food.

It's a values question. Which morality is more important? Individualism or collective structure?

Final vent here - bluntly, there's way to much mod fuckery with reviews, specifically at the behest of devs. The idea that a dev (or any publisher of any media anywhere) could instruct the regulatory powers that be to go after their media critics is asinine. There are many games which have devs religiously patrolling the review pages, and your review WILL get reported and deleted if it has the slightest deviance from the rules and is a low score (the same post giving a high score will remain untouched).

Yes there is. I can recall having two removed. In the first instance, the dev attempt to coerce me into raising the score or he would have it removed. It was removed, I complained, it stayed removed.

In another case I wrote a comment about a fan game. There was (and is) a lot of anger about the original, so the fan game, even though mediocre at best, generated a lot of 5-star ratings. The dev had my review removed because it mentioned another game...the very game the fan game was derived from. Kind of hard to do a review of that sort and not compare it to the original.

Agreed, I understand the rationale behind not wanting mention of other games, or not wanting mention of genres/fetishes, but I think the absolute manner it's implemented/enforced in does a major disservice to review clarity. A review can provide more information to help guide potential players towards things they like or don't like; and as long as it's written in a civil tone no harm is done.

hopefully next update we can finally get queen content

 

[DMoney1000]

I'm either dumb, stuck, or both. I finished the business with the General and the Raiders as the MC. I can only visit home and the Mutants with him. I finished the excursion to the factory with Shani and then she goes back to the bunker. With her, the only options I have are to look at the Zone Codex, play with the radio, or switch back to the MC. I've tried skipping multiple days, both at home and with the Mutants and repeatedly visiting the lab. I've read every entry in the Library. Zahra's room has no new dialogue and I can't visit Ain's at all (although I can still spend the night with her). I can't visit the Servant's Quarters or Basement. What do I do?

 

[Drew Anderson]

I think the Queen can only give birth to the next Queen, and they're all named Merneith for some reason. So as much as Queen Shani has a nice ring to it, she's probably out of luck.

That's what coups are for . Once we have the queen where we want her, she gets overthrown and Shani takes over.

You're probably caught up on all the content at this point. But if you haven't already, skip to the next day and see if anything new pops up.

Yeah, I've tried skipping days as well. I guess I just sort of assumed there would be some indicator that I was at the end of the current content. Thanks for the quick reply. Dumb it is, then!

Look at all quest and see if they all say "To be continued" and if so then your done will all content.

 

[DMoney1000]

Yeah. 8 total quests - 4 main, 4 side - all marked "To be continued". Thanks for the confirmation.

do you use any mods? The new update is mainly about fairy and Rabiah/the niece in their home.

I've had this issue too- seconded it'd be very helpful to have an announcement at the end of current content.

It does tell you that with "To be continued" after all quest once you get a quest done.
But since you can keep playing and doing things over and over again there is no way to announce that you have reached all content. This is an open ended game so far.

You just need to keep checking quest after you complete one and you would know that all new content is done.

This is one of the BEST game in this forum

 

[SomeOldFart]

This game needs an NTR / Sharing..... I mean "Fan Art" page.

LOL. Honestly, as someone who is not a fan of NTR or sharing, this game does sharing well. You can play the game and if you skip it, you barely miss a beat. It's very easy to ignore if you're not into that.

During the "Broken" questline, if Fairy remains broken, the quest is labeled as completed even though it isn't, locking me out of earning her "Appreciated" scene. It completes after she is determined as broken by MC and Zahra. Thoughts?
