Same here. According to the log file there's an image missing (d14c-1x.jpg). A makeshift / "dirty" way to fix this is to just copy any other jpg to the image folder (...\DesertStalker-0.14c-pc\game\images\Days\Day14\SceneC) and rename it to "d14c-1x.jpg" so you can at least keep playing if you don't want to wait for a proper fix.

Edit: You can just ignore the follow-up error.

This is perhaps my favourite version of all. It has everything I ever wanted: pregnancy, throat bulge, anal, great "combos" in the commons room, extensive setting up of Queen Meredith for great days to come.

All of this in the best VN ever created!

True, but I don't think that shock factor is just a function of time, rather, the partner selection has become more stagnant.

I feel the opposite, I am constantly wanting more of the girls we have. Villa harem time is *chef's kiss* and the raider girls are a highly addictive drug. Never can get enough of those two sisters. We also get a regular dose of new (or temporary) side girls that saunter on to the scene to get MC's rocks off. Added to all of the hot women are a great story and perfect AVN setting and I don't see myself ever getting bored with Desert Stalker.

When you go to the Decayed the first time you meet Lord Abrax when you talk with the trader before Lord orders you before his throne

Ohh, so I guess I misunderstood the phrase, I thought she had another name apart from Fairy.

I agree with this. I would add that especially with Shani we have barely scratched the surface so far. And that is also true for quite a few of the other girls, like the queen, the raider sisters, the mutants etc.

Hi

I've just retrieved the 0.14c version and I've found maybe a bug when clicking on decayed territory.

Here's the file trace back : a picture might be missing, causing game to crash after the following text

Later. Somewhere in Old Cairo

. I've looked into the path mentioned in the trace back but the picture doesn't exists.

Is the picture name not the right one in the script ?

EDIT : just saw previous threads, will wait for another version then,

Villa harem time is *chef's kiss*

I just finished 0.14 and Shani, Fairy and Katerina were greyed out in the living room the whole time. Did I play it wrong or are the greyed out options just signalling future content? Also seemed like I could never go to Ain's bedroom the whole game unless to end the night.
Regardless, amazing game, so good that it got me to post here. Can't wait for the next update.

I know that certain locations are either available or greyed out depending on what point you are at in story (not just 0.14 but overall). Room access comes and goes. The main reason being, there isn't anything new included for you to do in those locations in current episode. Even action in the repeatables locations can change depending on who is there and where you are in the timeline.

You should be able to get Emilie/Fairy scenes in the common room. I believe it might depend on how soon you "introduced" Kat and Fairy to the family. Please note, Fairy is only available in common room if you call Emile over to you first. Then choose to have Firecrotch join in. She is still in training so you cannot solo her yet in the common area. maybe next episode.

Ain's bedroom is only available for nighttime sleeping (right side of screen). There wasn't anything new to do in room during day (aside from some brief eavesdropping scenes you can do with her and Shani). I cannot remember if it was in Ain's room or Shani's room, but there wasn't anything lewd going on. Just a conversation about boys.

I know walkthrough mods are free stuff and I shouldn't complain about it, but still the walkthrough is always behind a version from the game, which invalidates the purpose of having a walkthrough. Maybe someone else need to pick it up.

Hopefully we get it soon

this is good game! and fuk you hater! and still download playing game for FREE!

 

[Big Smurf]

I hope you kept the total bitrate not to high, that is a pain in the A for the processor and the users who don't have a high end gaming pc.

if i try to go to the decayed (for the new storyline part) the game crashes

Spoiler: traceback

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

It fails to find some image. Is that the one announced in changelogs that got chainged to include a train?


- - -


also found a slight error / mishappening in the emilia - fairy living room scene

(used universal renpy mod to make the variables and paths visible)



When Shani is not in the zone, so is home (lower path, that i am currently on there): she does not show up in the background
When Shani is in the zone, so definitely not at home (upper path that i am not on): she does show in the background

exactly opposite than it should be, guess the images or some code got confused and the result is now that the backgrounds are exactly switched reverse

You dont need to defend or explain yourself.
Fuck the haters and say like it is!

Well, I just don't want people to get the wrong idea, especially any of the authors. So many people on this site just rudely express their negative criticisms in a drive-by, and I think that can get exhausting and frustrating for an author who works so hard on their game.

The sex scenes never had stellar writing imo, with the shock factor fading it may be more obvious

True, but I don't think that shock factor is just a function of time, rather, the partner selection has become more stagnant.

Yeah, maybe those things explain it; the "new car" factor is just slowly fading for me and I become more aware of some flaws. Hmm. At least they're fairly minor ones that can be pretty easily remedied.

 

[Mfka5]

Not bad update i guess.
Maybe because i had to replay whole game.
I'd say as of now theres a 25-50% chance of Shani having to do anything with decayed boss.

Oh I don't disagree with either of you- the immediate family are some of my favorites - when I wrote my message on stagnancy, in my head it was implied this was referring to the less interesting/attractive characters or overall lack of sex scenes (because of course I'm the grand arbitor of whether a character is interesting or hot ). I love the family and want more home harem scenes with them. At the same time, I'd also love to see more igor foursome style scenes, I like both these avenues.

obviously all of this is subjective - but I'm hypothesizing that many people feel similar to me and thus are lukewarm towards update.

One of the first things that drew me to this game was it actually felt like a PORN GAME when you start off, there's sex everywhere, with neighbors, family, guards; and that feeling has tapered off.

What I dont like as much is a large amount of time spent on raider girls or hive or the various palace guards etc

MC stick his dick into cum dump of decayed called Fairy. Not only her but other 10+ girls with STDs not being existant in this game other than the settlement lady if she even has it. Now that is

 

[R1k0]

Probably the best adult visual novel, there's a reason I've waited so long for worthwhile content to appear. Minus only that there are too many women to be served by the MC and therefore a long wait for updates with those you like. And the story is too much for a porn game, towards the end I got tired of reading it all and started just skipping it. Some scenes were very sensual and well written, mother-daughters incest, where else would you see such a thing. Some fetishes were just what I love.

 

[Yngling]

This game is definitely a mix between porn and story.

I think it's one of the very few games on this site which could stand on it's own without any porn.

But being story heavy and having a quite a lot of characters does create this problem:

when I wrote my message on stagnancy, in my head it was implied this was referring to the less interesting/attractive characters or overall lack of sex scenes (because of course I'm the grand arbitor of whether a character is interesting or hot )

It may seem to you that the various scenes used for less interesting character A could also have been used for more scenes with more interesting character B.

I'm not sure if I agree but I can see where you are coming from, if you approach this from a porn game perspective.

However, I think the redeeming aspect is that these characters will have to play their role in the story. This overarching story is what makes this game different from the vast majority of games, most of which have a story line which is very predictable and frankly boring.
