You should read into how software versioning works. Simply put, 1.0.0 could come immediately after 0.0.2, for example, if that's all the content a developer intended to include. 1.0.0 usually just means, it's complete.
Just to add to this a bit, In a nutshell I think standard versioning is A.B.C where

A = Major
B = Minor
C = Patches

There are more specific criteria for each, but that's the broad view of it as I understand it.

Yeah, with this scheme, let's say you had a mature software at version 1.24.3.

If they did a minor bug fix, it would increment to 1.24.4.

If they added a new feature, such as the ability to remember passwords in a web browser, it would increment to 1.25.0.

If they reworked the overall architecture/underlying code, which is a massive undertaking, it would increment to 2.0.0.

Since AVNs aren't as complicated, the versioning varies. For Desert Stalker, the 0 indicates it's not complete, the 16 indicates it's the 16th content release, and the c indicates it's the 3rd bug fix/patch.

Exactly. Unless you're one of the 40 game studios that all have totally different versioning schemes. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: I like the ones with letters AND numbers. :FacePalm::LOL:

Back on topic, (but will probably be deleted anyway given my recent luck)... I tried playing this as a good faithful husband.

...

Lasted about 10 minutes. I tried. :LOL:

I´d love to see a lewd scene someday where one of the girls gets fucked sitting in a barstool. I love to see that type of position, and this game´s city has bars, so it´s entirely possible.
Maybe it could be more than one girl, so the MC just keeps switching between them.

Even if you sleep with other women in this game you're still a faithful husband because that's what their culture is like and Zahra straight up says it. (y)
Zahra is an ultimate wife in this culture.

She supports Zaton in whatever way he asks for/needs.

She maintains their home and ensures that there is little to no female drama to take away from his time to relax from his stalker duties and Enjoy being home.

If he wants to play with other women, she is down with not just sharing but enjoying them with him.

She is always his most trusted ally on this journey of theirs.

Their relationship is part of what makes Desert Stalker special, IMO.

Cheers!! :coffee:

Don't know how people are going to take this because it's a very popular game but I can't be the only that feels like it has become a victim of its own success.
I say this because the pacing up until the older daughter (don't know her default name) comes back from the Zone was great and it felt like it was going somewhere. After that, feels like I'm playing one of those filler seasons of The Walking Dead, the difference being I've got to wait months for each episode to release.
It's just getting boring. I remember being excited at the time how the plot of the fight between the mutants and Zeta was going to play out and the role we would play in it (like we could side with the Queen, side with the mutants or even play both sides) and feels like it has been completely abandoned. You could say this new Queen chapters we've been getting are part of that story but are they really? Because they feel a bit self contained and the mutants side of the story hasn't been touched on in God knows how long so there's no dynamic us and the story itself can play off.

It's a shame because this was my favorite game but now feels like its success has led the dev to ditch their original plan for the story and it's now just getting bloated with side content that progresses nothing because the game is now way too profitable to end it. Ironically, kinda like The Walking Dead.

That was your first post...and you can't even remember Shani's name? :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

You're right...people won't take it well at all. Congrats, successful bait is successful ;)

I use a custom name (Mika) lol

And it's not bait. Feel free to agree or disagree. This is a discussion thread after all.

You've also been here for 2 years and it was apparently your fave game. Not really an exuse is it for arguably the second most important character in the VN who is mentioned like every day in this thread.

Some fan...if going to whine and complain, at least know basic stuff because it makes everything else you say moot when you can't even remember something like that.

You are, however, entitled to your opinion.
