HOW TO RUN IT ON MAC (for those who may it concern)

1. Make the file an executable by opening the command prompt and executing :
Code:
chmod +x "/Users/YOUR_USER_NAME/Downloads/Desert Stalker v0.17.1.1-WLM/DesertStalker.app/Contents/MacOS/DesertStalker"
Make sure you replace YOUR_USER_NAME
2. Right-click -> "Show Package Contents" on your "DesertStalker.app" file (note it's not the .exe one)
3. Go to "Contents" -> "Resources" -> Create a folder inside named "autorun"
4. Copy the "game", "renpy", "lib", "DesertStalker.py" and "DesertStalker.sh" files into that autorun folder.
5. Right-click -> "Open" on the "DesertStalker.app" file (note you probably would need to go to System Settings and click "Open Anyway" because your Mac will complain that the app comes from an untrusted developer)
6. Enjoy

I tried this. Didn't work. o well

If it breaks your immersion just disable sharing content in the options...
Immersion is a part of it, but I did not object to sharing until the changes that started to show up in the last year.

We went from sharing Ain with Igor, I believe that it was ass or mouth but - just one of Zaton's blood and the one most likely to marry and start her own household.

Sharing has now morphed into:

Whay not Zahra?
Why not Shani?
Why not ...?

Does it stop with Igor?

Does Omar get added in?

And, OC, let's ignore the consequences of pregnancy - using good old porn logic...

All of this activity is competing with:

Telling the broader story
Zaton's adventures - mutants, raiders, the decayed, treasure hunting
Shani's adventures with Zaton and does she get more POV time on her own as a Desert Stalker
Zaton and Shani seducing the Queen
etc.

It is the dev's choice to dedicate increased resources to sharing in priority over other aspects of this story.

Between this and the rework though, the advancement of the main story has become Very slow - and I don't fault the dev for doing the rework as part of getting on Steam.

Steam can bring a nice $ and recognition bump, perhaps making the dev less dependent on monthly subscriptions.

The results are still the same though - a much-slowed main story and a bigger % of remaining time and energy being devoted to sharing in preference to the other aspects of this AVN, some of which I mentioned above.

My immersion came from the way all the different aspects of this story were interwoven into, and balanced with, the main story.

I'm looking forward to seeing this balanced approach again, but I have no idea when/if the dev will return us to it.

Cheers!! :coffee:

Congrats guys, you managed to inflict fear into an already harem majority game.
Where they are counting, it was just mouth before, now its gonna be pussy??!! o_O:cry::LOL:

If you can pretend under an excuse of realism that MC never loses or takes L's, you can also pretend they'll never get pregnant.
But they never will since you always manage to forget, its OPTIONAL

people suggest sharing stuff for a game with sharing, the audacity
the problem is not the suggestiong but suggesting stuff that makes no fucking sense, like Omar gettng some when he's a spineless pathetic waste of space, but there was a guy on discord that went "OMG he's just like me, let him fuck!"

I think I get where you are coming from, but so far imo the dev has been able to adequately juggle all the different storylines and kinks satisfactorily. I am someone who doesn't have interest in the sharing antics so I disable it wherever possible and I have yet to feel like I have been shorted content. My ignore list is filled to capacity with sharing beggars and Igor simps, so I don't see much of that discourse anymore, but I imagine it is still going strong. Regardless, the dev still understands that this game is much more than any one particular kink.

I know there have been rumblings that plot advancement has been sacrificed recently, but I am never disappointed in either the sex-centric episodes or story-centric episodes. They are all great. I only just recently did my first restart from beginning (with v.0-17), so the rework has not annoyed me too much.

The only real issues that I have with the game are visual-related /e.g. the protruding tendons on the boobas which are apparently still there and are going to be a constant thing going forward, judging by the recent special renders. :FacePalm: I honestly don't understand how anyone can think that shit looks good.
Old version boobas looked amazing..now it is just....ugh

So you are mad that if Omar gets some, you'd be forced to let him?
Hes also rich, he can probably buy your MC's household and his daughters
Damn, wheres Pneumball with his Omar eyes when you need him

This thread seems to be lots of people trying to decide the artistic output of someone else.
It's odd how people will gravitate to something which excites them, but then wish to impose their own needs on it.
I don't think that should ever be the case.

It's hampered a few VN's and clearly contributed to some devs walking away from projects.

I'd suggest devs create their own stuff.

THEN add options for subs to contribute their ideas to continuing stories, prequels etc.

As for kinks/fetishes.

None of them upset me in the least.

But then I once witnessed a girl shit herself after I'd done anal with her.

I basically have the 10000 yard stare when it comes to kinks.
