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

[vendarr]

Oh, this Ain knows well how to do the puppy eyes. As the one in the game knows how to look like mischief is her second name. That just wasn't the look I was going for in those images. I think that's one of the many things Zetan does incredibly well: showing the characters' emotions in every situation. Immensely caters to the atmosphere and immersion. I always find it astonishing how much of an impact eyebrow position and squinting have. Combined with a subtle pursing or drawing of the lips. This can go a long way in changing the perception of things such as age, character or experience.

Well, if you think about it, body language and picking up on some visual perceptions of how people behave around others can generate a lot of notions about how a character perceives and/or interacts with others.

Some very "minute" bodily gestures and amendments can really give off a characters personality in more ways than one. It helps add to the overall personality/personableness of a character and kind of defines their persona so to speak. Playful and charming, cold and calculated, stern but kindhearted, overly jovial and a tad bit gullible mixed in, etc, etc....

Still trying to figure out recreating Ain.
Maybe better call it a reinterpretation, I guess. Don't think I can get any closer. But I don't even want to. She's similar but different.
Nothing for purists, I know. But I like her a lot.

By the way i never fully grasped why Ain wears a slave collar.

I would guess because if she dont wears one, the dudes in Zetan City would think she is available.. and if i'm not wrong she has zero intention to have another man then the MC..

I would say it's ain with 4-5 years more.

If I remember correctly, Ain's collar was a protective measure, to let everyone know she belonged to the house of Z... and if you're dumb enough to fuck with her, you will feel the wrath of one of the best desert stalkers.

That was my interpretation, anyway.

Yeah true, I think I recall it being some form of a household insignia where it denotes her already belonging to someone else's family so she won't be harassed by any idiotic slave trader that wants to traffic her into the business....

Like this fine upstanding gentleman....

I think that outstanding gentleman was a slave owner, who was abusing his slave... and we had the opportunity to make sure he didn't continue doing so via various means

I really loved this scene because it helped define the type of stalker we would be in the story. I honestly wished choices like this would carry more weight.

 

[Penumbral Evanescence]

Omg yahhh, like when I remember that scene when you had the choice to make Zetan chop the dude in pieces, I was like wow graphic, but I honestly loved that scene!!

In terms of the type of stalker persona we would ultimately personify and become, maybe the dev might consider adding an "alignment" wheel of sorts or something along those lines where every decision we make will tilt us in a certain direction on the wheel, so we can ultimately mould the type of "persona" that our desert stalker character ends up as...just a thought if anything...

Yeah, it was a great scene because you could basically be kinda neutral (IIRC)... kill the fucker, or take his leg and make him think about his choices. Fucking great.

That would be kinda cool... though also limiting. I feel like choices are more aligned to that moment in time... so if you do a good deed in one moment (because maybe the people involved are good people)... doesn't mean I don't want to be a sadistic fuck in another moment (with really bad people, for example). Either way... choices having that sort of meaning for the story... I'm definitely all for.

Yeah, that's true decisions are quite situational in a sense....so that mechanic on alignment I mentioned would be kinda not as balanced guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Either way... choices having that sort of meaning for the story... I'm definitely all for.

Yah, I love choice-based gameplay in games!!....Make's for a lot of replayability and adds a lot of flavour to the scenes by making you as the player more in control of the scenarios being played out in the narrative....

Just wanna ask will their be a pregnancy route for any girls(ain specifically)?

Daz Studio.
The tool is free. Let's you render and animate. The included free assets get you started but are very limited. There is also a shop for paid assets like models, objects, textures, shaders and the like.

I can only encourage you to give it a try. Can be a bit overwhelming at first. But there are lots of great tutorials on YouTube.

Is this Ain if she was a raider like Kyra and Asha?

 

[Leinad_Sevla]

idk about u guys but i need a zahra and another ain sharing scene next update

With so many people (me included) talking about the sharing but also a few people complaining about it, I don´t know if comments like this are even being serious or sarcastic, to be honest.
That said, if you´re being serious, I hope so too. Or even another of the girls. The way I talk about sharing, people might think I´m really into it when in reality, I´m just really into the way this game does it.

 

[Leinad_Sevla]

I would say it's ain with 4-5 years more.

By the way i never fully grasped why Ain wears a slave collar.

She´s not treated as a slave, so I really hope is just a fashion choice. Maybe she wanted a choker but there wasn´t one around, so she improvised.

If I remember correctly, Ain's collar was a protective measure, to let everyone know she belonged to the house of Z... and if you're dumb enough to fuck with her, you will feel the wrath of one of the best desert stalkers.

That was my interpretation, anyway.

I remember that being mentioned for Emily (the clothes too), but not for Ain. I may have just forgot, but I think it wouldn't make much sense as girls from other families (like Nadia) can just wander without problem. So it has to be a protective measure for slaves specifically.
I don't know why Ain has the collar though. Early in the story I remember she was punished and then got that collar, but she kept it afterward so... Maybe she's like her mother and she just likes it ? (soon Zahra, soon, I just know it).
