You mean this scene?

View attachment 4347280

This is the repeatable "Sleep with Ain" scene and it wasn't removed. It'll become available after you allow Ain to leave the basement after her punishment.

The problem wasn't sexual content with Ain. That's obvious because there's a LOT of sexual content with Ain. The problem was that some few renders in the game made her look underaged. Namely, a handful of renders in the "welcome home" blowjob scene at the end of day 1. That scene in particular was apparently flagged in the Patreon review, so the devs simply opted to remove those renders instead of nuking the whole scene.

As far as the Ain massage scene? It was a fairly unimportant scene with no story relevence that was visually outdated. It was probably easier to just remove the scene entirely prior to the steam release as it clashed pretty bad with the rest of the game. It might come back later on with a visual rework, but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't. I think there's still like one non-lewd scene left in day 2 that still needs a visual upgrade, but it was left in because it was mildly story relevent.

I'm well past the point in the narrative where Ain is released from the basement, and it's not there. Trust me I've looked for it As to the Ain massage scene, I genuinely don't remember that one, so I'm not sure if it's there or not.

I don't really understand why, but when I started the new version from the beginning, I felt that these scenes are a bit, ehem, dry. To be honest I didn't play it for long time, but I remember some scenes to be different between the last two versions (0.16 vs 0.17). What I can tell that is differend by now: Shani taunting zombies with joke? Gone. Quest from queen to exterminate Decayed? Simplified. Also the town midnight encounter is somewhat dissapointing. You aren't saving slave, which is probably better, but mutant girl for Yuna (this time without note engraved on knife). I did like the previous content before. I wonder if these changes are created for the steam version or if it's remake.

Something's messed up with your save then, I think. I just started a new game to verify and the earliest the "Sleep with Ain" option becomes available is after the end of d4b_mandisa_talk (the scene where Ain gets captured by the thugs). It's briefly unavailable while she's in the basement, but you should have that scene if you're already past that point assuming you're playing v0-17-1-1.

i am playing 17.1.1, though I think the save file might've started with the 17b? Don't recall exactly. Another thing I ran into as a looping bug was when the purple haired raider is in the basement, I kept choosing the "let's go to the wastes" option, and she would constantly toss up "You sure? Your wife said she wanted to do something first" and I could either say yes I'm sure, or wait to talk to Zhara. What was interesting about this, was I assumed it was the Ain Punishment scene, since it can segwey into banging Zhara in front of the raider chick, but that would never trigger. Ain's Punishment only triggered AFTER I took the raider girl out, and then I could take her to the basement. But then of course, the raider isn't there to watch. So yeah, I've had all kinds of weird issues with several scenes, all including Ain. Can't think of any other content that is missing from any other characters or locations. I think I'll just delete and reinstall and start over, see if that clears it up. I even have a gallery unlock and those scenes are missing from there as well. It's not just from me going through the storyline.

Killing off saves after 4 years of development bold move cotton.

Not really and happens a lot in "unfinished" games. If you want save support all throughout these AVN's lifecycle, I suggest waiting till it is completed.

There is a very good reason saves were busted, they were using an old version of Ren'Py, they upgraded to a newer engine they can do a whole lot more with, and they reworked some of the older content along with a bunch of code, and with all those changes plus the Ren'Py change, there was no realistic way to keep saves intact.

 

[GetOutOfMyLab]

Totally get that, newer renpy version has a lot of new things that help along the way. Still always sucks having to backtrack sometimes.

Worth it... I've said this before, but the revamped scene of returning Kyra to Adira is so worth it.

I find it strange that in another version I played, we had missions with Shany. Then we could have sex with her. Now there's nothing left. nor with the Queen. Finally we go back, with nothing more to come. just repetitions. I think it was just a bug fix..hahaha. good game.

Yeah dude, you're playing a save from the beta. I'd strongly recommend starting a fresh playthrough on 17.1.1. The scenes you're missing have to do with a flag labeled ainroomintroduction. I'm thinking it must have been an artifact of the old code because it doesn't appear to be in v0.17.1.1 .

This explains your missing ain scenes as well as Kyra in the basement.

 

[GetOutOfMyLab]

we had missions with Shany

We still do.

Then we could have sex with her

We still can.

Now there's nothing left.

nor with the Queen.

Finally we go back, with nothing more to come.

good game.

where walkthrough mod for 0.17 version?

 

[RX-9/C]

Hive quest is broken in the new release? I get the cutscene introducing the queen then the next slide is us in the car after she's been killed?

You know, maybe continue reading the scene before asking questions. Let it play out ok?

 

[riuquendo]

Haahahahahahaha!

i read that buddy thats why i ask if someone who had played the new version already had a save for it if youre not going to help at least dont send stupid messages

 

[AndyReed]

Yo, I can't 'hydrate' Asha at the start now? She's gonna die without liquids

 

[jw1221]

Is there still supposed to be a symbol that shows you have finished all released content like there used to be? Because I'm not getting that and just wondering if my game is bugged.

where it has always been, in ops

Hey unspecified1234 I quoted you in #21,677, but I did so in an edit. I wonder if you've got a notification of that (IOW I'm wondering when new people are mentioned in a post edit whether they get notified). I'm asking because I got the impression you might have missed it and/or haven't checked the link I posted there.

Anyway, if you've played the beta before, I'd indeed start fresh + clear out your persistent file(s):

+ I think it'd be wise to delete your persistent file(s) if you've played the beta earlier. Inside C:\Users\<YOUR_USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\DesertStalkerEA-100001, but you should delete inside game's game\saves folder as well (including the saves there, or just delete whole folder).

I can't 'hydrate' Asha at the start now?

You can, just need to pick the more harsh option before ('take her out').

Is there still supposed to be a symbol that shows you have finished all released content like there used to be? Because I'm not getting that and just wondering if my game is bugged.

I recall from the beta that there will be a message in the quest log saying that's all the content for now (or smthng) for that quest (all sub-items should be crossed out).

Agreed, especially the introduction to decayed's cannibalism is much less intimidating in the new version.
In the previous versions Kyra was being held in a cage, and the decayed butcher scene was much more scary and mysterious.
"Never disturb a butcher while he's working" or something along those lines.
