Ren'Py Desert Stalker [v0.17.1.2 2024-12-30] [Zetan]

Not sure if it's part of the reworks, but he can/does

I´m going to have to play that again.

Got to go into options before you start the game and turn all the content options on.

Thx i really was going to skip the game without this options.
if there is an in-game choice for gore enabled and sharing. then why is there no option in game for force play?

New Game, can't seem to trigger the punishment in the basement for Ain. Says I need to talk to Zahra to start it, but don't seem to work or appear. Can't remember how it happened in the previous versions either, but does anyone know?

I'm having the same issue. It also seems that Ain doesn't move to her new room or that at least interactions with her in her new room aren't available anymore.

It's like people don't know how to use the "search" function. I'm scrolling through pages of people asking and complaining about the same things. Newbies I can cut some slack, but if your account is a year plus old you should be slapped with the heaviest phone book. At this point you're either trolling or just ignorant.

Search, or even read a few pages (or a couple of posts even) back. IMO would make sense if expected behavior in this regard would be an item within the general rules.

Me three. I was just coming here to mention it. If I find a solution I'll let everyone know.

Ren'Py games also write saves & persistent to a 'saves' directory inside the game's 'game' dir. Is that present (& populated) as well?
(Shouldn't really matter (or maybe it does), as I believe AppData takes precedence over that, but still.)
Those settings are stored in persistent. So I reckon your saves do work? When was the last time you rebooted your PC? Do you have any particular security / anti-virus software running?

ps/btw: this matter is a bit off topic (as it's not directly related to this game, you say you suffer from the same problem in other games), so a prolonged troubleshooting discussion in this thread wouldn't be that appropriate I think. A topic in General Troubleshooting would be better I reckon.

I rebooted my PC a couple of days ago, I remeber modifing something in the renplay files so it could let me use saves from my other PC, maybe that messed up something?

I think it is a bug in this beta version which was leaked before the official alpha release , as far as I know from a cofiable source it is worked on.

 

[meme_Lordo]

Yeah old saves won't work because of all the reworked content, Ren'PY version updates, + internal code changes made to the game which makes previous saves from V0.16 incompatible.

Dev team recommends starting V0.17 with a new save so you're gonna wanna start from scratch. Anyways, lots of new reworked content in the early game so its worth your while to play through from scratch again ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

Well, like I wouldn't be able to restart my games from every time next update is out to enjoy it fully once more anyway

Well ... if anyone bothered to actually play this game, in the past versions of this game, she gets tied up and punished in the very first missions because of letting the elf honey go


In this new no. 17 beta version, there is no cage in the basement and there is no key to the dungeon.
There is nowhere to lock somebody up and the elf babe simply leaves after Zaton gives her food and water.
In the morning after, Zaton simply visits and has some thoughts to himself about the hospitality of Zeta:

Famously game pirates are sticklers for the rules.
What next? Do people piss on the toilet seat because there isn't a sign telling them to lift it up?

Oh ! you have to lift up the toilet seat ??

Well yeah we not some kind of animal who couldn't do just that to not get our piss onto the toilet seat

Also I really hope they convert all in-game content to "archive.rpa" instead of storing them in usual "Pictures" and "Animation" folders.
Sucks to be able play the game from .png view. Just to spoil yourself all the content in game.
And hopefully, if applied, it reduces overall game size.

I mean they did already, the images.rpa file. I unpacked it just to see what the content is still there or missing or mislabel.

Steam reviews will turn negative pretty quickly if there's only one update every 6 months. Should be interesting.

What difference does that make?

If it's pngs, you choose to look at the pngs, or not look at them.

If it's rpa, you choose to unpack and look at the pngs, or you choose not to.

Literally just your choice either way lol

And hopefully, if applied, it reduces overall game size.

This is the only possible difference, I know that a packaged rpa has a faster install time for games that require it - not sure if that necessarily translates to a reduction in file size as well, though

How good that the updates are every 4 months, don't you think ??

Maybe. Impossible to tell if you're not more specific. 'renplay' you mean Ren'Py?
