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

Oh yes I understand now, the lesser of two evils. Yes I can see that would be jarring. I think it probably helps that I dont like incest anyway so I'm not really invested in the relationships from a family perspective to begin with, though I could understand how players who were MORE into incest would oddly find this more disturbing.

I find disturbing the entire thing , incest is as sexy as paying taxes to me, but the graphics and music in the game are awesome tho

The word isn't being misused, the MC lets another man fuck his wife while he watches. If that's not cuckoldry, then i don't know what is.

That does seem to be the case.

I assume you have access to regular porn sites.
I assume you can see there are definite categorisations that differ between swinging and cuckold content?
Do you notice how there is some overlap but that the bulk of the content of these categories is very much separated?
Why do you think that is?

Cuck dynamics have a flavour that is very distinct from swinging/sharing.
They are predicated on a forced element and, in many cases, on a component of humiliation.
Either the cuck or cuckquean is unaware of being cheated on or they are forced to endure it even if they fundamentally disagree with it happening... This is usually because of a position of inferiority. They may have a debt with the bull, the bull may have overpowered them physically or emotionally, the offending partner may have something on them (maybe just the threat of leving them).
More often than not, the offending partner is complicit in the affair, sex act, cheating, or at least gets off on it big time.
Optionally, but not at all infrequent IRL, the cuck is the instigating party, who gets off on the notion of their partner finding sexual gratification with others more than they get off from doing the deed themselves. In almost all cases, the cuck does not seek sexual gratification with others than the partner., prior or after the fact.
This is purely a one way street, often containing elements of humiliation, either imposed on or sought by the cuck, which can go all the way to becoming a sissy or a mere financial provider for the hotwife.

Now, with this in mind, try treating a swinger as a cuck, or using language with them or even their partner that indicates that's what you think about the situation... I can personally attest that that's the fastest way to get uninvited from many a swingers party or by anyone who might have considered to include you in their sexy times in a more private setting.
I've personally seen it happen that guys who came in with the wrong notion and didn't approach the situation with the right awareness of the differences at play were shown the door and banned from the premises.

Sure, there is overlap in the sexual acts themselves and the situations that can come to pass, but context is absolutely crucial in understanding the difference in approach, mind games, kinks at play, source and nature of the satisfaction and payoff...and to anybody involved in the situation, the difference is usually clear as day.
It's when the overlap and a lack of proper communication happen, and people aren't sure of their desires, that accidents happen and the game can get ruined, with all the potential fallout on the couple if they aren't on the same page mentally and emotionally. The net result is often retiring from "the scene" and going back to a monogamous couple life, a few scars richer. occasionally, the damage done and the imbalance are so severe that the couple implodes altogether.

The one thing that has been pointed out that I will concede, is that the game doesn't yet present a situation where MC is invited to enjoy another woman by the significant other of that woman, which might feel the approach towards that dynamic a bit unbalanced. I agree that the Queen passing around a slave is a poor representation of that idea, albeit conceptually the same.
This however is not the gotcha moment you might have thought it was. It simply means we haven't gotten around to it yet, as we were busy establishing the factions and getting the different missions rolling. The encounter at the Oasis could, in hindsight, have been a good moment to introduce that narrative, but that would have robbed Shani of het moment to shine.

I shall relinquish the soapbox now.

yeah... if only there was this neat little feature where you can report posts that are against the rule....
hmmm....

it my meaning was on fact it my last post got censor by moderator for old content

these person come into thread to cry NTR as can be only that reason since it the last update from months ago november of it last year which my screenshot of

but this was it last attempt and now all those cry NTR post gone after quote you.. to making clear that rule every time directly link when report these person cry NTR.. never make it the report without link rule on report

 

[GetOutOfMyLab]

Didnt Omar offered MC Rabiah and Nadia? Because i'll definitely take them

Not yet, that I'm aware of. But MC already took Nadia in at the market and was working his magic with Rabiah at the house (but didn't get very far yet). Both these situations Omar was unaware.

 

[JaxMan]

You know reading this paragraph it's almost comical how there's always a reason why there's no sharing for the mc. Would sharing fans enjoy if another male in this setting shared the women in their household with Zeton?

Actually, I think they would, so not sure your point. I suppose the players who see the MC as the "alpha" boss male would rather take the other man's woman without his consent, but that seems more like what you would do to your enemy not your friends as an honored guest. It would seem out of place in this society.

if someone rejected it then they didnt find anything wrong with it. and this is the end of the off-topic discussion. We dont need to justify it. as i said before report and we will see and remove it if necessary. If you wanna post about it go into off-topic section. End of discussion, dont prolong this.

I guess you could say that the player has NOT yet been introduced to another male NPC with the same 'stature' or 'power' (probably not the best words) as the MC himself.
Omar is definitely not it. Igor don't have a woman that he can offer to friends. Mutants, Raiders and Zeta are led by women. Although, to a small degree you could say that Fang did share Mantis with MC, Kyra practically hand over Asha (her little sister) for MC's amusement, and Queen Mernith shared her slave with MC in the pool scene.
Lord Abrax could potentially be the guy. He didn't invite Zaton the first time they met at the Decayed 'base' though, I think because Zaton has not 'proven' himself yet. Sure he was Abrax protegee in the past and a god damn fine Desert Stalker too, but I mean in terms of 'allies' or 'friendly' instead of foe. I would think that no one would entertain their foes no matter how powerful they are. Also, there is also the possibilty Abrax is no longer practicing it (or he never did before) since he left Zetan and the Zetan way of life long time ago. It is a personal choice (to indulge in such practice) and not mandatory cultural practice, as I understand it.
The game can introduce other male (and female) NPCs to depict this culture explicitly for sure, or not (considering the game already has far too many NPCs). Most certainly there will be players that will want these ('sharing') female NPCs to become actual LIs for MC although that will create conflict between MC and the male NPC.
One thing for sure, those who enjoy the 'sharing' scenes don't demand any hard evidence or proof of such culture, at least not that I am aware of.

Anyway, just bring what you have cooking onto the table. Some will enjoy it, some will hate it, some just don't care. There is no way around that.


======
My personal view about the whole kinks of Desert Stalker is that the DS Team had weaved the various kinks (avoidable) beautifully into the multiple stories in the game.
Just an example, the story with Igor is mainly so that the MC can get Katerina. The 'sharing' kink (reasonable and believable) was weaved into that story and players who enjoy it can choose that route and experience the expanded scenes. In the end, MC can get Katerina regardless of the route. Okay, it is an oversimplification because players can choose to deny Igor and/or reject Katerina if they wish, so MC does not always gets Katerina.
If 'sharing' kink is the theme or focus of the game in general, then surely Igor is not mandatory because it can be just any male NPC or not just this particular story.
Other examples are 'Rough questionable sex' kink was weaved into the Raiders story, 'urination' kink into the Fairy introduction etc. I am not saying that each kink is unique or exclusive to a particular story either but rather the kinks that make sense are weaved into suitable stories in the game.

All that being said, power (to a certain degree) is in the hands of the players (being able to choose what they like or what to see/happen), but the ultimate power is in the hands of the developer, the DS Team (who make whatever types of contents of the game). So, who really wants that ultimate power, you just make your own game, where you dictates all the rules of engagement.

I truly don't get the whining, there's plenty of harem games without swinging/sharing content. On top of that comparing the sharing content that is in this game to cuckold/netorare is just insane, to me it's more like the protagonist uses the girls as assets to confirm his position in the hierarchy as a person worth being loyal to. It's like saying a pimp is a cuckold, lol.

 

[punisher2099]

i hope next update igor cums in daughter pussy.

This jealousy of main characters in these vns always amuses me. "Take that MC!" "Your fictional bitch didn't fuck you!"

lol exactly. its more funny when its optional and not forced.

 

[Okeanos]

I just think certain games have more of a power fantasy element where the MC is powerful and in control, and others have more of a submissive element. Not that either is bad or good, there are just differences like sci fi and fantasy. There are a variety of kinks, and women in this game, but the MC from start is a powerful dude with beautiful women and desired by many.

Fairy is the best, to those of you mean to her. We're no-longer friends.

 

[Dkdk]

Just dropping by periodically to scavenge for an update but I guess I'm just unlucky with the timing and I'm sure there are other plenty engaging discussions. Moaning about NTR/swinging and other preferences not to one's liking? We're not even bleeding our wallets for these beautiful content.

As with how these threads, weather and other natural cycles go, it just must be that time of the month.

Who needs friends anyway?
Friends only lead to sharing scenes.
Enemies on the other hand...

We need more sharing contect, it's tome for sharing wife and daugher with Oman

And you'd pick Omar of all people.... sometimes i just don't get folks.

 

[DenBover]

And you'd pick Omar of all people.... sometimes i just don't get folks.

While it ain't my thing, it would be an interesting option to have: toughening up Omar, making him more of a city Zetan man, translating to a powerful mercantile ally in whatever political dispute kicks off later in the plot. A reward for people with certain tastes.
So long as I can take the option to just off him and nick the fine ladies.
