To me, Blackheart Hotel really isnt similar to Desert Stalker at all. Both have sex and murder, but that's about it. Don't know Raptus.
In raptus you play a serial rapist/killer who's going out of detention. While raptus and blackheart hotel can give the same vibe, they're very different from this game

Just hope there are not many developer like this developer
Who cuckold the players in the middle of the game
I mean, I hate ntr and sharing but there is no NTR in this game.
And the sharing content is avoidable.
Did you play the game? Are you trying to be even a little bit reasonable about this?
It's okay to not like something and to say you don't like something, but its not okay to lie about it.

I personally would jump for joy if the brief bit of sharing content was all this game had and we don't have any more of it in the future, but I'm also not going to be a dick about it with each update if there is that content (Because I won't see it as I turned that shit down.) as long as it doesn't become the major focus of the game, as that's not what I signed up for, I'm here for a harem game.

So please, replay the game and realize there is only a minor scene (which is a sharing, non-NTR scene) and is completely avoidable. It's okay to not like that and wish it was gone, its not okay to lie to people about it though, see Wheaton's law.

I understand what you mean, it is nice to get all girls in a single game, and not to be forced to replay game again because different paths and so on. However, this removes the roleplaying element completely. You need a manual to play trough the optimal route, this is why almost every game has a mod that reveals outcome of the options or points out the best option to get x.

There is an exception game called ravager. In that game you play as a dragon, and as you encounter girls you can either be diplomatic or violent. If you decide to be violent you will either rape+murder, or rape+leave. This rather straight forward approach to encounters makes every gameplay unique in a good way. If you are diplomatic, your charisma and mercy increases. If you rape (or have you know consequential sex) your potency increases, and if you leave after raping your cruelty increases. Then there is fighting part which makes you better in battles and so on.
This makes every game unique, there is no cruel or merciful path, you have every path and non at the same time. The way you treat girls and situations each cause unique outcomes that stack towards the end of the game. If you rape and murder everyone no-one can stop you, but can you rule alone by killing and despoiling? You can be very gentle towards girls you prefer, while make deals with Chutlu and She-devil.
I won't naysay ravager, as it is a pretty sweet game.
(My only bad opinion on it is that of the 3 Lairs we get to choose, each coming with a unique NPC, one has a futa, one has a dude who want's to rape one of our girls, and the last has Chuthulu who rapes the one virgin we have and turns her into some abomination freak. I really wish there was a 4th option with just some pretty lady we don't have to kill/share/destroy)

I wouldn't say it removes the roleplay element at all, you still have choices to make and each choice leads you to different ways to gain said ladies and can lead to other nasty consequences. You can even choose not to save one of the ladies if you so wish, I still don't understand why people would play a harem game and want to choose only 1 lady but hey, that's their thing and I can always choose yes for myself.

I don't think just ripping off mechanics from other successful games is the way to go, obviously Desert Stalker is its own thing, with it's own setting, and has a growing fanbase. Getting inspired by though is never a bad thing, so long as you combine it with your own ideas and make it your own thing, because plagiarism bad.

You also have to temper what makes sense for the setting with what people would enjoy playing.
I mean, by setting alone, it would totally make sense for another, more powerful person to come into MC's house and take is women as the bad guy's own, this would be fealty to the setting but would absolutely see a mass debarkation of fans, me included.

So there has to be a balancing act with the story and making the game fun while paying off that simple original premise that drew so many people in: You are the Desert Stalker, and you take what you want.

I just told I wish there are not many developer like this developer
Who just wants to please everyone in the middle and loss the fans who have being with him from start
This game was a very good game till v0.4
But now mc is just a cuckold beta nothing more
And thinks he is the dominate one
But he didn't
It's only a Matter of a time when you will see more and more sharing

And for the minor part
Mc tells his daughter so suck some one
But the other man is not a cuckold he doesn't say anything to his girl
Yet so what does it means
It means mc enjoy s it

I know my post will be removed very as there are lots of the members developer team over so they get piss by hearing the truth
About what have they made the game now

I m just wait for the 1 July to see how many Patreon leaves the developer
As he cuckold them

I didn't know about the MC not getting anything in return as I didn't choose the sharing options. I had heard from this forum that you can choose either the daughter or the slave to do it.

I don't like the scene being in there either, my personal opinion is: What's mine is mine, sharing someone you love or lust for with another man is just courting betrayal as any man who'd want to fuck one of your girls would want to keep them, why give a free sample? That and watching alot of couples self destruct because they added in swinging/open relationships to the mix. It can be done, but oh man is it perilous. But then again, I don't get the swinging culture. I get the D/s culture, being a part of it myself, but I will never understand the idea of giving up your power over your submissive and the argument of "it shows how much power you have over someone that they will do this for you" is just bullshit to justify your voyeuristic fetish.

Right now, its just one small scene that is easily avoided, as long as it stays like this, where only a minor scene here or there, I won't cast stones (too hard) as apparently a few of the development team have a sharing kink.
If the game starts to morph to being a 50/50 split, I'll drop it too as this game was sold as a harem game, not a sharing game.

BUT, even though I hate it being there, sharing still isn't cuckoldry.
Two very different fetishes, and you still shouldn't lie about the content of the game, the last thing this thread needs is more cucks looking for content that just isn't there.

So calm down a bit and wait and see what happens to the game like I am, no need to get yourself upset on "what ifs" that realistically, you can't change anyways.
If the fan backlash (which caused multiple pages of comments to be deleted) from fans that were against the addition of sharing content didn't cause the Developer to change their mind, your mislabeling of it certainly wont my guy.

I am all for negative feedback, developers need to know what their fans do not like, especially if they insulate themselves with people who will support them no matter what, just don't be a troll about it.

Will see it after 1 july who will still support the developer on Patreon

(Just like Royal candy loss more then 250 Patreon yet he didn't got them back by removing ntr)

A short note in this update
Sharing was already 50/50
First with the rider girl
Second with daughter
Third with slave

Even the big daughter might get sharing first
Before mc would lay a hand on her

Now what was for mc
Mc fucked rider girls
Mc tease daughter
Mc got sucked by slave

So it's 50/50 already

Not counting the big daughter as she was with the girl

WTF are you on about?
IIrc, every scene you're talking about is up to the player to choose.
As in: It's an option.

Nobody else touched any of 'my' girls in my playthrough.
I'm not a fan of NTR either. And I don't play VNs where I can't avoid it.
But I don't give a damn if it's an option in the game for those that want it.

a couple of points of order:

1) I am starting to develop the theory that I should just ignore any comment that includes the phrase "beta cuck" because the words are used almost exclusively by people I will disagree with on a fundamental level. Its overuse kinda brings up a parallel with the use of the word snowflake, which to my experience seems to be the favourite insult used by people who actually tend to reveal themselves being the biggest snowflake in the room.
No, I am not saying that if you use the words beta cuck you are one (I mean, you might be? I don't know nor do I care enough to want to know, you do you...).. but the terms tend to be used kinda pointlessly by people who go out of their way to find the bad in something that on honest examination isn't actually that bad... and certainly doesn't apply to our MC.

2) I didn't ask for comments in the thread to be removed... Hell, half of the removed comments were mine to begin with.
I asked the reason for it, and was told that they were removed because they had gone off topic or reacted to comments that were off topic... make of that what you want. I DID ask to remove 2 reviews, not because they were 1 star... because we're confident enough as individuals and as devs that we can take the occasional 1 star rating (in fact I think there's at least 1 or 2 others that we did leave alone)... but because they were a blatant misrepresentation of the game, its content and its themes. If one of those was yours and you want to leave us a 1 star rating, go right ahead and do so.... but as a reason, write next to it "I didn't like the game" or give us a solid, and true, reason for it in the written part of the review, something that is an actual coherent thought and we can use to improve the game... I'll promise to leave it alone, unless, again, it's full of lies.

3) Cena... let's say you are right about the 50/50 nature of the content of this 0.5update.. let's examine it for a second... First off, sharing and cuck are 2 different things. As others have noted, it is optional, to the point that if you choose for it not to happen, in universe, it does not happen rather than happening off screen, and you're still the head honcho (you'd be also if it did happen, but whatever)... let's see the scenes in question:
a) Igor comes to visit and (IF the player decides so) gets a freebie, which can be either Ain or the maid, Emilia... or.. nothing, because you can also make him sit on his thumbs whilst you get the BJ instead...​
Not only that.. if Igor goes too far, Ain reminds him, on the spot, that she's not his and he should keep his hands to himself. He is getting a gift, but he's not the boss in that scenario.​
It is true, Igor does not reciprocate by offering up his niece, but if you had bothered to read the text and not just look at the pictures... The scene ends with the MC promising Kateryna a tour of the city. Given the nature of the game, where do you think that will lead? The game is in development, and you can expect Kateryna to show up again. The fact that MC didn't get it from her right away in some sort of mental arithmetic you're doing is irrelevant. If you can't contemplate a longer game than the instant gratification, I suggest you go watch porn instead of playing games that actually try to tell a story. have you take part ownership of the story we're telling.​
b) The queen leans in to kiss Shani.... That's all that happens, and it's not forced in any way. If YOU the player decide to reciprocate the kiss, can you really point the finger at us when you could just as easily have decided not to? It's literally 1 click and entirely up to you.​
c) Gasmask Dudebro is either sent packing by the MC if he doesn't want to share, or he gets half a BJ, is left blueballed halfway through said BJ and is then utterly murderized by Kyra about 10 seconds later, for disrespecting her sister... the whole thing explicitly presented as an educational exercise in humiliation for Asha. He is a prop, nothing more, something the MC uses to teach Asha a lesson.​
The scene, either way you play it, ends in an incestuous threesome with MC and the 2 sisters. The pecking order is very clearly established being MC>Kyra>Asha>Dudebro, with a 100% chance for Dudebro to die a violent death. If you don't see how this is very clearly a domination game where the MC is absolutely on top, again, that is on you.​

We can agree that even seeing a second dick in the scene might trigger a negative response in some players, and you can be one of them. If that's the case, by all means, guide the scene so that that doesn't happen, or block that kind of content outright, or... indeed, don't play the game.
However, do not come and tell me that these scenes make the MC a little bitch and the existence of the scenes in and of itself is enough to utterly ruin it because "ntr agenda" or some other analogue, because if that is your takeaway, I have to question your judgement and you capacity to understand scenes more complex than "see pussy+have MC fuck it=success!" and in that case, yes, this game is not for you.

P.S. disliking and even shitposting on a game or a dev, is one thing... actually wishing financial failure on someone just because they did something you didn't like, that tells us more about you than I frankly wished to know. Talk about big time beta energy...

Cena... let's say you are right about the 50/50
See game already have 50/50
And it will continue
If not then what was the need to add it
You already loss the non ntr support


suggest you go watch porn instead of playing games
In porn
Our work is to watch and in your game 50 percent of the contain will be same as just watching
(But again it's players choice )


The queen leans in to kiss Shani.... That's all that happens, and it's not forced in any way. If YOU the player decide to reciprocate the kiss, can you really point the finger at us when you could just as easily have decided not to? It's literally 1 click and entirely up to you.
Yeah we click and miss the contain
Got it

I never said I wish that developer loss this supporter
I have just said I'm waiting for 1 July to see how many people will continue to support him

If they keep on supporting then it's good for developer

I have given a example of a developer who tried to do the same thing but he lose the majority of the supporters

KnightoftheWhiteSun you should read the post to
So you can be also be prepared for what's going to come
It's already 50/50

Hey so complete side note, I see you have Wicked Rouge in your sig line, can you keep the girls to yourself in that game? I was under the impression it was a prostitution game, I would of given it a chance if you could just keep the girls for you alone so that's why I ask. (I know, completely off topic, sorry)

It's already 50/50

Not going to lie, I COMPLETLY mind-blanked on the Dude-Bro existing because I told him to get fucked and he promptly did courtesy of Asha's new claws.

And the slave only happens if you allowed sharing content, for me Emilia just showed up and refreshed our drinks while I was getting a BJ. Now, that's not saying I'd of rather appreciated her joining Ain on me instead but.... that's another story entirely.

So there are 2 sharing scenes (3 technically but only 2 happen if you want them to) and both are Avoidable, not just optional. I can see your point that those sharing scenes represent ALOT of developer time which a lot fans would of preferred had been spent on scenes for the MC instead.

This part I can agree with you on.

I am basing this on the fact that I played the entire game from the beginning with this update as it broke my saves so overall, it felt like only a minor effort went into Sharing vs MC content, so that may have skewed my perception of Dev time Spent.

Though I will point out, Cyn did not say it was going to be a 50/50 split, he is examining your argument under your own presumption and trying to explain why you would be wrong to think the MC has no power in these situations.
I will say though, it is completely useless to explain it away or try to rationalize why Sharing is a power move by the MC in this situation. For those who do not have a sharing kink or voyeurism/exhibition kink, its just gross and to a lot of Doms completely anathema to D/s. No justifying in the world will change someone's opinion if they are dead set against sharing their Lover/fucktoy/onenightsweetie.
Still doesn't make MC a cuck though, because that is a very specific Kink/fetish and the sharing in this game isn't meant to bring shame.

Cynicaladm
I don't 100% agree with Cena here, but he does have a (small) point.
Do you know how much development time will be spent on sharing content going forward? Because if this will be a heavy theme of the game, then its best for people who dislike this content to get out now or let a few updates in a row add up because those who dislike this content and disable it are only getting a 1/2 sized update if it will continue in the future.

This part I can agree with you on.
The extra renders that were relevant to that content were about 15 out of the 750 the update contained. Soooo about 2% of the total rendering time (which is the biggest time sink). So not exactly a lot. ;)

Edit: In any case, it's not a quota to try and meet. There's not a defined goal of "each update should contain X amount of Y kink".
It all depends on the scene itself. If the scene allows for leaning into certain kinks (and that's not only relevant to sharing but other things as well), it might contain it. If not, then it's not there.
So trying to quantify things like that would probably be inherently misleading I'm afraid.

Was all other 735 renders were mc was just fucking girls
.....
Of course no
Mc in action would be also 15 or 20 renders
