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

It's more like they're hard to do properly in an AVN.
For instance, if Shani dies the game can't continue on with that in mind. You'd have to make an entire game's worth of alternative just for that choice (story continuing without Shani -or Z-, people reacting to that, all scenes featuring her to have alternatives, etc.). For all intents and purposes, not feasible.

The other option is to go "GG, just reload" but even that I feel has to be something more than a "You died" screen a la Dark Souls. It should have some aftermath or conclusion, so it at least feels remotely impactful.

TL;DR, no inherent aversion to bad endings, they just need a certain amount of investment to be done properly.

You're overcomplicating things. A bad ending can be five renders with some text explanation. You don't have to explain every single character fate in that scenario.
In example, Zaton was caught by decayed and turned into a happy meal. Add a couple of renders with some decayed cooking Zaton and it's done.

yes, that's why I clarify that in all its forms and expressions. but yes, it has nothing of NTR. it's swinging. don't tell the others in the cult. they will burn me in the square for heresy ;C

Whatever that is or are, you did it to yourself because you chosed the option that results in such contents.

Talking about the raider sisters. I personally found the Kitty scene more or less...
... meeh...

Despite the similiarity of the scene with the raider sisters and the Kitty scene, the raider scene was much hotter than the scene with Kitty. Well, it seems the scene was just to rapy for my taste - not my cup of tea... I know, the setting is post apocalytic and rape is no stranger in the story, if I think back to the prisoner/kidnapper that was a little better done than the Kitty scene.

No offense, just my opinion.

Well, I think the rape scene is for the most hardcore or depraved Zatons. You can choose to help Kitty removing her blindfold and make out a bit with her just to mess with the dude.
That's one of the selling points of Desert Stalker, replayability.

My playthrough at Igor's house had all 3 girls with Zaton and no NTR. The only time I remember sharing coming up is when Igor visited Zaton's house a long time ago and I made the choice not to have sharing content. Besides that it's all Zaton being a chad and taking all the girls.

 

[ImperialD]

is it just me or was this update rather small

Really liked the expanded lore with Ivy/Yuna in this update (a lot of good backstory).

In terms of spending the night at her place, what choice did you all choose when you spotted her outside by the lake, in the water?

For me, I chose "Stay" (instead of "leave her be"), watched her get out of the lake, and chose "That's enough." instead of "watch a bit longer" resulting in this screen):

Though given her eyes still remains green, not sure whether this will have any affect in terms of Ivy/Yuna's stats in the game (good decision? bad decision?).


And I'm getting the strong feeling Sonmi is the elf girl Shani encounters in the zone. Just feels like too much for it to be just a coincidence.



Scene with Kateryna, Ain, Zahra was good (though I never got those NTR scenes with Zahra as some are mentioning), but damn, that rooftop scene with Zahra[/OSPOILER] was just.....lovely. Despite not being as explicit as other scenes, the background and Zahra's dress added a lot to the immersion.

In terms of Raiders' content? Meh.
General was annoying so with this update, at least we won't see him any longer, so that's good.
But that Kitty scene as Mortarion said above felt a bit too rapy.

 

[J0K3RXXX]

Interesting.

 

[Tatsuya25]

AT least each scene have 100 or so renders , and some animations , no bad .

could be better yesh more scenes to fullfil with the 2 daughters and the wife , and the queen if can
si few sex scenes with each girl , bet most people think that way .

But even so the game is decent on plot and content , please hope the dev can do 2 main branches first focus, leave side content with side girls for later. Because there is already 7 to 8 main girls here.

AT least this developer is NO like those TROLLMILLKERS of Troll deaf Caizer or Gumship or SirDammed

PLEASHEEE MOAAAAR T.T

 

[EternalXV]

Every update I rush to the change log hoping to see some kind of sound effects added. Every time im left sad lol.

 

[thelaughsareking]

It's hard to criticise the updates for being too short while not having paid a single cent to see them, but I feel like the video cutscenes (while well done) are adding a lot of extra effort.
That being said, the quality of the game shows. It is extremely well made.

 

[SonofOrion]

Any guess as to when .11 will be released for Mac?

 

[Xypher]

Any guess as to when .11 will be released for Mac?

Probably next week, when the full release version comes out.

Probably next week, when the full release version comes out.

Thank You.

The sharing scenes are optional, you can either pick the harem scene or sharing scene. If any of you want to cry about NTR or derail the thread with off-topic BS then you will get warned and may even be thread banned.

Discussing about an aspect of a game is ok but shouting about it to others just because you personally don't find it appealing is not.

That being said, please use our "off-topic" for any such discussion while keeping the game threads on-topic

Kind of a shame, that would have make the scene even better. Hope you guys revisit that concept again.

Yeah I choose removing the blindfold and making out in my "Gentler" route.

 

[thebobboy]

Has any anal scenes been added?

Igor x Ain scene

I think the plan is that they will revisit it.

 

[HydratedMan]

How do I get those 2 scenes? thank you
