You mind telling me where your profile pic is from, please sir? :)

And yeah, this is my first time seeing Ain's looks in previous versions... I had no idea lol. She looks both too young and well-proportioned in v1. Like, either pick an underaged "youthful" look or make her mature; attempting both at the same time is almost in the uncanny valley. And v2 just looks really stupid and weird with the ridiculous proportions and is absolutely in the uncanny valley. Sooooo glad we got the current version, it's literally perfect!

Thats because of how the world in desert stalker is made. The head of the household yields absolute power and the women are bound to follow his every command as a sacred duty. Zahra knows this very well.
That's what puts her near the bottom for me, much better breaking in the raider girls

Alright, this is the last preview before the beta release next weekend so it deserves a proper teaser. We've made a lot of progress this week, and next week I will be adding more things to make the narration enjoyable, work on the quest log, try to fix any remaining animation issues (if I don't make it in time they will come in-game after the beta). Also, just as another headsup, this is the first update after the tier reshuffling some months ago (3 day release interval between tiers).

I'm ready I'm ready I'm ready

Render progress:
Shani's Zone pt. 3: 90%

Aftermath:
Scene 1: 100%
Scene 2: 100%
Scene 3: 100%
Scene 4: 100%
Scene 5: 100%
Scene 6: 100%
Scene 7: 100%

Queen's Palace: 90%
Harem:
Emilia + Ain: 90%
Reworks:
d5g (Ain's basement punishment): 90%
d4d (Talia + Lirah): 90%
I can not wait anymore

Another comparison I had saved. First Ain was great but also kinda jailbaity, current Ain has much more expressive eyes. I think there was also an upgrade to the rendering software around Ain v3, Zahra also looked slightly worse (as in lower quality renders) before that.
I don't care if she looks young or whatever. The first face is absolutely clean and awesome and that very scene was what told me that DS 0.1 would become a top game of all times.

For those who want the original Ain:

, for those who want the real deal.

, for those who want the second Ain face.

No, I didn't find any other (working) links, so these are it.

I wish someone could create a mod to restore Ain, at least in the first scenes of the game.

Additional notes: wow I forgot how RAW and powerful the original version was! Too bad the dev had to nerf it so much, because of weak snowflakes who cannot stand some hard pixels.

Last but not least: for those who believe Ain looked too young in the original screenshot, here's another take. She *REALLY* looks under 18 here!

Well, "coming of age" in the cultures emulated in the PA society, and in the part of the world where it takes place, doesn't mean "18" (even today in the traditional culture). And, other than right at the beginning where the disclaimer says everyone is at least 99, actual ages are never really discussed. Given the disclaimer, they must have a really good skin care regime. ;)
