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

Where are you located? I am German. DS is blocked here. I tried to connect to US steam via VPN but it was the same. Maybe a country within the eurozone would work better?

Interesting that the night visit at Zeta was re-worked in a way that the mutant is now not a slave abused by bad owner, but instead a thief caught in the act by a citizen. Previously even when having Zeta supremacy in mind I had to dispose of that asshole for mistreating his slave, but now I actually let him keep the thief as a slave because I won't tolerate thieves in my kingdom. I thought that was it for my chance with the mutants, but surprisingly despite this "elf" gave me a chance and brought me to the bunker. I do want their technology in the bunker to become either mine or benefitting Zeta, but I also have a feeling Queen have couple of secrets in her inventory considering her "dragon" weapon.

So far my vision for factions with Zeta supremacy in mind:
- raiders (co-operation, protecting Zeta trade routes and outposts in exchange for shelter/service)
- mutants (low class citizens with more dangerous/obscene mutations staying wild outside of Zeta territory)
- decayed (manual labor slaves in distant/contaminated territories, all non-domesticated decayed should be destroyed on sight)
- stalkers (become official members of Zeta intelligence/special military agency, open up training school with swearing loyalty as new part of the process)
- wild tribes (receive basic protection from Zeta in exchange for fulfilling annual quotas of food/materials/soldiers/priestesses)
- merchants (either pay a big tax for trading in Zeta territory or establish base of operations in Zeta and giving citizens discount for their goods)

...or something along those lines, I'm not much of a politician.

it was considered more prudent to not shove NSFW action with Ain in people's faces in one of the first hot scenes of the game.
Will a day come when the game will have its revenue stream spread across multiple platforms enough to be able to give one of them the finger if they impose limitations? we will have to wait and see.
Maybe, in that case, a revisit to that particular scene could be considered.

Cool, cool. So, if I understand what you and Paz explained - a NSFW scene with Ain too early in the game (before the story really gets to explain to Patreon that they aren't related) is detrimental and risky for the continous developement of the game. Okay. Understood.

Now why didn't you move the scene untill much later then? The scene is simply about MC coming home after a long time and getting some love from Zahra and Ain. It could be moved to almost anywhere in the story. After any quest in the Mutant storyline that includes MC sleeping away from home. Or after visiting Ivy. Or after the Asani/Bandit visit?
You could've moved that scene to any part of the story instead of butchering it. But that would require a "can-do" attitude and thinking how it can be done instead of focusing on why it shouldn't.

Either way, a course correction, however minimal, was deemed as necessary to show some consideration to the intimation of the Patreon people, and to be able to say we made enough modifications to fall back within the guidelines.
We needed the game to go back to flying under the radar on that platform, which constitutes, so far, the main dev's main source of income.

Yes - you and Paz have both explained how scared ZetanDS is of losing his main source of income if Patreon gets nuked. And I sympathize with that. It's scary to think you'd have to migrate your community and customers to other platforms. But other Devs have done it and everybody who's succesfully migrated to Subscribestar (or in one case I know of - OnlyFans) had one thing in common. A strong community that the Devs engaged with and listened to.

I think current drama handily demonstrates how little ZetanDS engages with and cares about DS community and their opinion. After spending over a year in your Discord I already knew that there was no community - just people coming to ask "When is the next update?" and a few lonely nerds posting porn. Any time I or anybody else tried to make a suggestion it got shut down hard by you or IvyStalker.
Because ZetanDS doesn't really want other people's opinion/suggestions. Nothing demonstrates that better than you and Paz being sent out here to bat for him while he never bothers to post anything at all. Not his plans for the game, nor his reaction to suggestions that could improve the game. He has his view set in stone on what the game will be and his word is final.

So I understand his fear of loosing Patreon. Satifying Patreon will always come first in the future. Because you can't migrate your community of customers to another site if there is no community. And with DS - the most community there is - is right here on F95 and them telling ZetanDS that they dislike this newest change to the story (and their dislike for their saves getting wiped) will end up like every other suggestion made during this game's Developement here or on your Discord. Mollified with empty assurances and quickly swept under the rug so you can foster some positive PR before the next controversial decision made by ZetanDS (without anyone's imput) that pisses off enough people so that you two are sent out to apologize/explain for him yet again.

When it says full version in the changelog it means that it is the full version of the update or the game (meaning that the game is complete) although I don't think it is the latter since it does not have the complete tag, but anyway if someone knows, please help me out.
