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

[Tomy75]

An unofficial PDF walkthrough, for those who use them. It might contain errors/omissions. No guarantees about future updates, sorry.

(Also, someone requested a version of the walkthrough with the sharing content skipped, so there's one of those too -- no guarantees about it either, sorry.)

10th edition, for game version v0.17.0.

Much much appreciated man!
I hate sharing my little beauties

The patreon radar, and I think it was done under the assumption that patreon's admins/devs wouldn't play through the whole game or mess with the options to determine if the game is ban worthy.

The sleep sex is still there and can be triggered as far as I can tell, but I'm playing on an android that's been modified, so I don't know what the steam release is like.

I am referring to that sleep event with Ain, where you can either let her sleep, or wake her up, though it's heavily implied she's playing along the whole time. I don't see what's wrong with that scene from a visual standpoint. It was a great scene that was on my frequent flyer list of gallery scenes to peruse. Shame people thought it was somehow low quality. If that's why then I hope it gets returned eventually.

I'm curious how the first scene I mentioned (the one with Zhara giving oral and Ain watching) is somehow going under the radar by removing it? I mean both of those characters end up messing with each other in WAY more graphic and extreme ways later? Like if all sexual interactions between them were removed then I could understand them trying to appease some restriction. But when it's simply a single scene (that still has the sexual component to it), but you simply remove one aspect, I'm confused as to what radar is being avoided?

You mean this scene?



This is the repeatable "Sleep with Ain" scene and it wasn't removed. It'll become available after you allow Ain to leave the basement after her punishment.

The problem wasn't sexual content with Ain. That's obvious because there's a LOT of sexual content with Ain. The problem was that some few renders in the game made her look underaged. Namely, a handful of renders in the "welcome home" blowjob scene at the end of day 1. That scene in particular was apparently flagged in the Patreon review, so the devs simply opted to remove those renders instead of nuking the whole scene.

As far as the Ain massage scene? It was a fairly unimportant scene with no story relevence that was visually outdated. It was probably easier to just remove the scene entirely prior to the steam release as it clashed pretty bad with the rest of the game. It might come back later on with a visual rework, but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't. I think there's still like one non-lewd scene left in day 2 that still needs a visual upgrade, but it was left in because it was mildly story relevent.

Anyone know if the Dev has an official place for bug reports?
The link on Steam doesn't work :l

Ain causing trouble yet again (in-game and irl)

I still fondly remember her first version

I can post in discussions without problem, but the link on steam for support is this:

You must be registered to see the links

Which when I use I get an invalid message from discord.
My issues with the "Bug Report" section in Discussions on steam is that I can't attach the save file, add pictures etc.
Since I am not getting an error that I can copy paste, I'm at an impasse

If someone knows where to report, let him know that with the attached save file, no quests update despite only 2 having been completed and the rest being "wait for a few days" in the status.

I think I see the problem. I'll let them know. In the meantime, try the link in the first post of this thread.

I'm well past the point in the narrative where Ain is released from the basement, and it's not there. Trust me I've looked for it As to the Ain massage scene, I genuinely don't remember that one, so I'm not sure if it's there or not.

 

[Powerack]

I don't really understand why, but when I started the new version from the beginning, I felt that these scenes are a bit, ehem, dry. To be honest I didn't play it for long time, but I remember some scenes to be different between the last two versions (0.16 vs 0.17). What I can tell that is differend by now: Shani taunting zombies with joke? Gone. Quest from queen to exterminate Decayed? Simplified. Also the town midnight encounter is somewhat dissapointing. You aren't saving slave, which is probably better, but mutant girl for Yuna (this time without note engraved on knife). I did like the previous content before. I wonder if these changes are created for the steam version or if it's remake.

Something's messed up with your save then, I think. I just started a new game to verify and the earliest the "Sleep with Ain" option becomes available is after the end of d4b_mandisa_talk (the scene where Ain gets captured by the thugs). It's briefly unavailable while she's in the basement, but you should have that scene if you're already past that point assuming you're playing v0-17-1-1.

i am playing 17.1.1, though I think the save file might've started with the 17b? Don't recall exactly. Another thing I ran into as a looping bug was when the purple haired raider is in the basement, I kept choosing the "let's go to the wastes" option, and she would constantly toss up "You sure? Your wife said she wanted to do something first" and I could either say yes I'm sure, or wait to talk to Zhara. What was interesting about this, was I assumed it was the Ain Punishment scene, since it can segwey into banging Zhara in front of the raider chick, but that would never trigger. Ain's Punishment only triggered AFTER I took the raider girl out, and then I could take her to the basement. But then of course, the raider isn't there to watch. So yeah, I've had all kinds of weird issues with several scenes, all including Ain. Can't think of any other content that is missing from any other characters or locations. I think I'll just delete and reinstall and start over, see if that clears it up. I even have a gallery unlock and those scenes are missing from there as well. It's not just from me going through the storyline.

Killing off saves after 4 years of development bold move cotton.

Not really and happens a lot in "unfinished" games. If you want save support all throughout these AVN's lifecycle, I suggest waiting till it is completed.

There is a very good reason saves were busted, they were using an old version of Ren'Py, they upgraded to a newer engine they can do a whole lot more with, and they reworked some of the older content along with a bunch of code, and with all those changes plus the Ren'Py change, there was no realistic way to keep saves intact.

 

[GetOutOfMyLab]

Totally get that, newer renpy version has a lot of new things that help along the way. Still always sucks having to backtrack sometimes.

Worth it... I've said this before, but the revamped scene of returning Kyra to Adira is so worth it.
