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

[justin.case]

So a question. When are we gonna see Hot mutant? We've seen Red, Chili, Pepper and we are only a Hot shy of an Easter egg.

 

[Chakas]

Annoyed at some of the changes to the scenes? Like in the introduction scene with Zahra and Ain, you can no longer call Ain over to hug her while Zahra is servicing you? Why change that? Seems an odd thing to remove for a "rework". It was super hot.

Same here, I liked some of the changes but most were definitely not needed specially the ones with Ain. This one in particular was a huge downgrade. It was extremely hot to call Ain for a hug while her mother was giving a BJ and now youjust kinda send her of

Hey so what are you saying? I haven't played it over a year and the dark and hardcore version is gone now???? That just takes away what desert stalker IS.

There have been quite a few changes, subtle, but if you are familiar with the previous versions, you notice.

Spoiler: Off of the top of my head.

I admit, I don't fully endorse some of the changes being made, although I can recognise that they are in keeping with the quality I've come to expect. Perhaps if they were path choices, I'd have embraced the changes with a little more enthusiasm. It's not impacted or changed my opinion of the experince, it's just more experince.

who started to go through it again, is there a lot of rework or not very many changes?

1) It's best to ignore canto. 95% it's just random nonsense. And when you can make sense of what he's saying, he's completely wrong. I suspect he only posts when he's high as fuck. It's the only explanation I have for that dude.

2) As has been said a hundred fucking times already if people like you or Canto would actually read the thread before posting... this is a beta and the code was redone.

There are some bugs and some flags that need to be fixed. 100% of the game is still there including the aforementioned "missing scenes", it's just the flags to start them are borked. They'll be fixed with the full version. The only reason anyone here is playing the beta right now is because someone leaked it from the $50 tier. It was not meant to be played by the public and this version of the game is not final. Expect bugs.

The "dark and hardcore" version of the game is still there too and the flags in the beta are working from what I've seen so far. You just need to go into the settings and enable gore and forceplay. This is also something that has been explained in this thread many many times since the beta dropped. So read the fucking thread. In other words NOTHING has been "sanitized".

Lots of reworked content and quest additions. Especially in the early game. But spread throughout other sections of the game as well.

Don't recall there being a lot of additions/headway made to the story per-se/family content, but some other characters have been introduced as well.

Nah, what he's saying is plain false. It's the internet, take what you read from random strangers with a grain of salt.

If he actually followed his own advice and "read the actual lines of the text of the game", he'd know that Ain's punishment is because she almost got abducted in the market and has nothing to do with Ivy, the cage (or lack thereof), or any keys.
So there'd be no reason to remove it because of this change.

The reason it doesn't get triggered is because of a bug (which coincidentally blocks many other Ain events), and not because we're bleaching the game clean.

Are you sure though? I just played the previous version and was surprised to find out that so much has gone(or doesn't show up because of bugs). It's actually concerning. This is a very fav of mine. I usually stack up updates over a year and play them and it feels so disappointing.

 

[Paz]

Are you sure though?

As positive as one can be, I assure you.

1) It's best to ignore canto. 95% it's just random nonsense and the other 5%, he's saying something completely wrong. This is one of that 5%. I suspect he only posts when he's high as fuck. It's the only explanation I have for that dude.

Alright calm down geez. Sorry. I saw the game was updated and just played it. Didn't see it's the beta version. Even then when I compare a whole lot's gone so I just got panicked and vomited all my anxious thoughts.

Don't worry about it; I get that way whenever I see the phrase "New and improved recipe, same great taste!" on any of my favourite foodstuffs or beverages.

What just made me go into a frenzy after reading that was the extreme scenes like the tying up and fisting were exactly the ones missing. So I had to believe him with that almost believable theory of making it palatable for the steam audience.

 

[Cynicaladm]

Are you sure though?

you're asking the guy who is responsible for half the code (and reviewing all of it) if he is sure about what's in the code?

 

[Gooooneer]

Also, how long does it take between a beta and the tested version?(I don't know what you call the one that comes after that)

Okay that's news to me. I don't know who's who here. All I wanted to know info about a missing scene and one person mislead me. How am I getting stick for something that's unintentional

December 13th is the Public Release on Steam so expect it to be done then at the latest.

Did you enable the filters in the settings?

 

[Gooooneer]

Did you enable the filters in the settings?

Yes I did. Multiple times.
