Ren'Py Desert Stalker [v0.17.1.2 Steam] [Zetan]

[Meabe37]

The post that you are quoting from me already answer your question i believe but yes all the scenes are all there and the same i think, like i said, as far as i can remember.

 

[Jennider100]

A couple more things I've noticed between the versions.

- Missing scene when meeting Nadia for the first time? You can join the guard & slave, but there is a scene missing with them having sex.
- (Thankfully) Missing "Test her limits" scene with Fairy (I can understand why this was removed)

It wasnt removed, now you can go even further and worser with her....

 

[DaynNight090]

so everyone character has sex scene except OMAR?

Justice for OMAR

\\ OLD SAVES will not work for v0.17 and beyond //. Why ??

 

[Satou Pendragon]

Because of change in the code.

Man, that is great news! I had not expected to get more content for broken fairy in this update already.

 

[HeheBwoi]

So the the game got butchered?

no

 

[Mcknobz33]

no

The missing scenes and the vagueness of the Dev response says otherwise

whats missing?

So it's more than that 1 scene at the beginning. That's a little worrying for a game like DS where it's edge adds a lot of weight for the player. Blunt those edges too much and in simply becomes less interesting.

The whole 'It's not censorship, it's a rework' line feels super disingenuous too. Changing content to 'less risky' content because of upcoming reviews (their words) is undeniably censorship whatever way they want to paint it. Don't piss on somebody's boots and tell them it's raining.

People are right to be questioning the game's direction that's for sure.

Yeas, the new game does as well. Except for 'sharing' though, but maybe the game will ask you when the time comes?


Having read most of the reports on 0.17 here, there is more, and there are still some things unclear to me.
Made a (scenes) list based on the reports. I'm not sure what 'Ain's massage' is referring to, don't recall it, but it has been mentioned.
Maybe someone that played through it can fill in the blanks / question marks:

0.16:

1. Zahra's welcome back home bj with sidekick Ain;
2. Ain's random morning towel scene;
3. Ain's massage;
4. City date with Ain (talking about her ambitions);
5. Cum sharing Ain+Shani living room;
6. Testing Fairy's limits.

0.17:

1. Ain stays at a distance, Zaton sends her away;
2. ?
3. ?
4. ?
5. removed?
6. removed

I think Ka1tzer made a good report on the beta (#20,878). If he's reading this: I wonder what your findings are now the final has been released?

I'll be updating this post based on people's reports. Will convert it to a table. First I'm going stop procrastinating over my tasks here

Thanks for your reports: johnsmith15379 (#6)

2 4 6 all still there


1 3 5 still in the game files but doesn't trigger

So no basically the game still has every content , some didn't show up

Please don't just read a bunch of nonsense/gaslighting and think it is true. Try playing it.

what exactly are you talking about? which scene got censored?

Is it a bug or is it intended?

 

[RX-9/C]

Is it a bug or is it intended?

Who knows, maybe it lost in the code, maybe it for future updates or rework, you have better chance finding out by asking the dev than talking to me honestly.

Ain and Zahra scene at the beginning is the main scene being spoken about. Has been explained by a member of their team.

Even if you don't mind the change I think it's quite clearly censorship. Logically speaking if they're changing to fall in line with Patreon rules then they aren't going take 'risks' going forward. Like I said in the first post, a lot of the charm in this game is that it's a little 'closer to the edge'.

Brother she just literally standing next to you to see her mother suck your dick. That's it, she didn't even do anything in that scene. What kind of censorship do you call that? The cuck your daughter from seeing a blowjob censorship?

So why cut it then to appease Patreon. As you say, Ain doesn't even do anything....

 

[With The]

they do cut the content and some content even when the render still in game files there's no other way to trigger. so we still can call that censorship, like it or not.

Which makes devs deleting these images even more ridiculous. And yes, it is censorship. Censorship is not only "blurring a penis or vagina", it's also removing content. By definition "censor" means:

1. A person authorized to examine books, films, or other material and to remove or suppress what is considered morally, politically, or otherwise objectionable.

And while I agree that deleting these 5 images isn't the end of the world (although it changes the scene significantly) the fact itself that they've done it is what worries me because there will always be danger that from now on scenes will have to take into account what patreon admins might think.
