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

[preglovr12]

Don't add inexplicable new characters, can't be bothered.It's clear that the original female characters could have been deepened, the characterization could have been increased, the linkage between the characters could have been increased, and then the plot could have been written in a deeper and deeper direction instead of continuing to be spread out in a way that makes it seem like the plot is getting paler and paler.My suggestion would be to focus on the most popular ones, the female characters, and the plot could revolve around a few of them, adding more details (such as body language), dialogue that fits the setting better, and fleshing out the characters more.

I personally have this complaint about a bunch of games, but certainly not this one. Each character adds to the worldbuilding at a bare minimum and is a step to a new adventure at best. There really isnt a plot at play here without all the various characters, so I dont really understand that complaint.

and why doesn’t anyone have the patch?

Ness starts off on the wrong foot, because of the blackmail and prickly nature. Once we get past that, she seems like a blast. Looking forward to the all-clear from Nat to pursue Ness, Stella and Izzy (Sara and Mol are given). Claudette doesn't really do it for me (shame, with the red-hair), but I'm sure others are.

If Marci is the club-girl, then yes, that Nat scene should be fun. Definitely a chance to reward loyal players with an expanded scene then, with extra punishment for Marci. Nat should be hands on for the first few imo, only later getting updates or watching video once things have settled in.

To be honest I didnt notice anything new. Maybe just some reworks.

You sure you didn't just accept her as a gift when/if you hand the cat statue to queen?

how long usually for new content update to come out?

how long usually for new content update to come out?

Typically, 6-8 weeks isn't it? It may take a while but quality takes time.

So how much dose the 0.16a cost to buy? Because it's says 11.50$, is this right or not? I mean last time I did it, it was only for subscription, but not the game

2 months, that quite fast for a game with this quality, alright thanks for info

Trying to continue 'Will curiosity kill the Kat?', says to talk to the wife and shows an exclamation on the master bedroom. In there, I can only access the repeatable scene. Are there some other conditions I may be missing?

It´s more around the 3-4 month time.

It's $10 right now on Itch.io, and then every couple of days it will drop down in price, then we will get a "b" and maybe a "c" depending on bugs found. It will be free in 5 days.

Substantial size difference from 16beta to 16a. Missing some images in beta maybe?

Just a few missing renders/variations. But it's not substantial, they also did some reworks as well, so the size will still probably end up maybe smaller then previous.

• Added many missing renders & render variations

0.16 Beta:

New Content: (~1,250 renders)

• Igor visiting the house
• Date with Zahra
• Lirah's questline (multiple events)

• Emilia can now service you while you're eating in the kitchen
• Added another way for Ain to wake you up if you sleep in Zahra's bed

Reworks: (~150 renders) The reworks listed below are almost solely visual upgrades, not story changes

Happy I skipped the beta. I will still hold off on 16a to see if any more bugs get squashed.

BETA is 3.88GB, so it's not substantial.

The public version will be the real final and have more than likely a new version number.
