The information is a public post on both of the developers sites and this site to.
The answer is a whileThe starting shot has been fired! More than three years have passed since the first upload, and now comes a new chapter on the most popular platform, and we are more than hyped to announce:
Desert Stalker is now available for wish-listing on Steam!
You must be registered to see the links
In case you have missed the recent development logs, we not just busy working on the new content, but also finish the final batch of reworked content to present a whole new, remastered and reworked game. From better renders to extra content, restarting the game will be worth it.
And all this will come in one big update for 0.17!
_________________________________
I'll try to answer some potentially common questions below, but if you have any other questions let me know:
Q: Will the Steam version content be different from the Patreon/SubscribeStar version?
A: No, there will not be any additional or exclusive content across different platforms. Supporters on Patreon and SubscribeStar will continue to receive weekly development logs, monthly renders, and more opportunities to participate in the development process.
Q: Will the Patreon/SubscribeStar release schedules be affected after the Steam release?
A: No, the release schedules will remain unchanged.
Q: Why "Early Access"?
A: We've found that seasonal content works better with an on-rails narrative, which doesn't suit our game’s design since we don't have fixed story "choke points." That's why we've opted to release Desert Stalker in Early Access — it's a simpler and more fitting approach for our game.
Q: What will be the Steam update frequency/lifecycle?
A: We don't expect to update the Steam version with every new release, due to the maintenance it would require and because we still want to offer early access as a benefit for our regular supporters. This will also give us time to include up-to-date translations for the Steam updates.
Q: Will the saves be compatible between versions (Steam vs Patreon/SubscribeStar)?
A: That’s the goal, unless a specific technical issue prevents us from ensuring compatibility.
Q: Will the Steam release invalidate my current saves?
A: The Steam release presents an opportunity to upgrade our engine to the next major version (our current Ren'Py version reached end-of-life last May). This means there’s a chance players might need to start over, but we will do our best to avoid that — either through in-game compatibility or by providing an export/import function. We’ll provide more clarity as development progresses.

A steam release is something that never crossed my mind back when I started, and I sincerely mean it when I say THANK YOU, each and every one of you, for making it possible through those years!

Had taken an interest in this game for two reasons. First was hearing about it being good. The second and honestly more impactful reason. Was seeing a sig or two showcasing Ain. Though I had no idea about the relation to the MC. Or even the type of game this was. Thinking it another dating VN, with a different coat of paint to push the narrative. Misunderstanding strictly on me of course. Not that either situation bothers me. Game is decent and she was the goal regardless... however.
I do wish we got the chance to establish it ourselves. Unroll that taboo instead of it coming post-alabama'd. Maybe it's because more often then not. You have to work for it in other games and I'm so used to it. But it was honestly jarring seeing that nope. It's not only already a thing, but has been a thing for a time... and it's just a-ok with everyone.

Not here to bash your experience or opinion, just offering a counterpoint.
One of the biggest draws for me was precisely that the relationship was already established and the protagonist didn't have to go through the overused and tedious dynamic of courting/perving on the object of his desire, working his way from first base to sex in what is often a forced and sub par narrative that makes little sense.
I like a good college game or "landlady corruption" game too, but they are a dime a dozen and half the time are badly executed, the protagonist is a wimpy small kid who should fall over at every step on account of his magic dick weighing as much as the rest of him.
This dynamic instead, makes a lot of sense, and was such a breath of fresh air that it's one of the main reasons I became involved in the project at all .
That is, of course, just my take and personal experience of finding the game, not any more valid than yours. I offer it as a possible explanation as to why so many people rate it so highly in their preferences, though probably not the only reason (boobs, anyone?)

Oh that's easy to explain
Ain got some tips handed down to her from Influencer Kitty
So irresistibly alluring, am I right?

Oh it's fine. I'm not so sensitive to believe that anything you said was remotely trying to come at me. I will clarify though that similar to my experience with anime. I haven't played that many VNs to be at the level of anything being tedious for me... yet. So what you and others with more playtime/experience would view as overused. I view as just another average thing. But considering the context of both the world and the MC. Who has enough testosterone to open his own clinic, with his body as the sole supply. I don't think it would've taken anything too complex, to convince her why keeping it in the family is ideal.
But as mentioned before. I had certain misplaced ideas. I was expecting some type of dating VN with the setting as a backdrop. I had no expectations of any type of relation between the two. And I am used to games having you work for the taboo. All self-inflicted but eh. Also! After writing my original comment. I did some self-reflection and came to the conclusion. That I might like the chase a bit more then the payoff. Which I suppose only exacerbated the wish to do it myself. So hey, I potentially learned a bit more about myself in the process.

Yeah I do miss the rawness of those early scenes sometimes. If MC wanted it then he would take it, plain and simple. After all if you have a haram, then act like a man who needs it.
Does anyone know if the writer for this VN has changed recently, like within the last 2-4 major updates or so? The atmosphere of this game has always been incredible, and the story is also engrossing. But, I have to admit the lude scenes have generally, for me, taken a downturn. The dialogue sometimes feels outside of the established universe, very modern and trope-y; the scenes themselves are sometimes a lot shorter than expected; some characters even act differently, i.e. Ain behaving very weirdly innocent and naive in that sequence with her cousin, when all previous scenes before that is basically the opposite (Shani has typically been the 'innocent' one..).
I guess I understand why the dev might be getting rundown after years of making the same content, lots and lots of girls to make content for etc., but it feels like a completely different writer to me sometimes in the erotic scenes and really takes me out of it No hate. Still look forward to the game, I just hope at some point the dev 'fixes' it. Am I the only one?

I took that as her pretending for her cousin's sake and that Ain was being a mischievous little rascal as per usual, but I admit if my take is accurate then that scene could have been done better.

idk, Ain behaving differently in the scene with her cousin makes sense. It is the first time she is behaving that way with someone outside the household members. Cousins or not, all of Ain's antics have been in front of her mom sister father and their slaves/servants, people she feels safe and comfortable around. Now with a cousin she wants to be close with but has not really seen or known in years, there would be some shyness or maybe emberassment. How could she not consider what her cousin might think, will she think im a slut, not slutty enough. Also take into account that she is often trying to imitate her mother, only to be called out for being immature by her mother and dad. So their is all sorts of excuse for insecurities for Ain.
Ain's first showing to an outsider, one she wants to impress in a way differently than she wants to impress her father, well it would be more weird if she acted perfectly normal. She may be biologically a woman, but she is still mentally just a girl trying to find her way.
