Ren'Py Desert Stalker [v0.17.1.2 Steam] [Zetan]

Dev log 16.07.2023

Hey all, I want give a little bit more insight of what to expect in the next update, at least so far. As I've already mentioned before, Kateryna will be joining the household and start having a more regular appearance in it. That's one of the longer scene bundles in this update, where as a visit to Asani for example will feel much shorter.

Then comes a new category of mini scenes that we're thinking of for the household in general and the Queen. On the household front, we will want to make the player's home feel more alive. They're mostly simple and short hangouts with small variations (for instance, while you visit the kitchen you stumble upon Shani and Emilia chatting and gossiping). Those are no big deal but give more variety in how you want to spend the day after you've been hunting those exclamation marks (!). Some of you have also had great ideas that we will try to implement

On the Queen's front we want to spend more time by helping her out with menial tasks, spending time together planning things or helping her out in the throne room. The events will explore her character, and let you influence her dominant, submissive, sadistic and even exhibitionist sides. Will she be comfortable with your relationship being something of common knowledge (or even actively show it) or does she prefer to keep it behind closed door? We will not introduce any sort of grind as always, but short repeatable events that influence her more and more in those directions.

Render progress:
Visiting Abrax: 10%
Kateryna's homecoming: 30%
Visiting Asani: 10%
Queen scenes: 15%
Home interactions: 0%

LOL by stumble upon Shani and Emily whatever do you mean? are they having fun without the master of the house? Just don't leave Ain alone too long she can be a bit of a troublemaker if no one pays attention to her... Thanks for the update on progress too.

It says, "for instance, while you visit the kitchen you stumble upon Shani and Emilia chatting and gossiping."

For everyone else, please read the dev log in full and don't believe 'fake news'.

It was a joke not literal interpretation on notes.

Am i the only one that wants more scenes with the doc from the bunker ?

[Railic12]

it was really really good game!!!!

Sadly, it doesn't look like we'll be getting some Ivy content this update. Feels bad man.

Yeah man... I mean I get that the Queen and Kat content are a long time coming and it'll be cool seeing some Decayed faction content and all, but I feel like we just left Yuna soaking in that pool at that badass underground base she's got there. Asani is a side fuck that already done got fucked. Would have been nice to see even a little something back with Yuna and her wet perky titties.

But oh well. I guess that will have to wait until the version after next.

Exactly. I was looking forward to hooking up with Yuna in that shack at her base, instead we get screwed over by Asani of all girls. But yeah, like you said, I guess we gotta hope it's the next update then.

This is my first visual novel game I played in my life in last year July and after one year I noticed when little content updates. It's like if only a few minutes were added in one year. It's a promising game with the best graphics, story lines, and ideas- like sharing the girls. I really think this can go far if they try harder. One of the very few incest harem game and also the very few that has incest penetration from the very beginning albeit being the dad of the house instead of the son. They should focus more on family love in my opinion.

They should also build more focus on Omar's home. This is the only game and that has this concept and wow wonderfully done. I love his cuckold nature and his looks also match his personality very well indeed. It's reverse ntr done perfectly and that's why its so enjoyable. Plus I love the sharing option as it gives us more scenes which are quite enjoyable and its makes us feel like a Big Man, and also in oriental cultures Face is a big thing in real life and its like getting more face/respect.

Just appreciating sharing option

Did you quote the correct post?
You just replied to your own comment.

The sharing’s getting to his head; man’s not thinking right anymore.

 

[Wolfeszorn]

yuna would be nice. or the other chick we left with the raider sisters. forgot her name... Was it Kitty?

 

[LustButNotLeast]

There are many wondeful girls in this game, and reading the update I'm very happy we'll have to know better the Queen and that we'll welcome home Kat.
But I miss my redhead slave and my raider girls, they are fire.
Home is becoming a better and better place, but besides Kat we need to train that redhead slave and let's not forget the promising niece...

chatting and gossiping."

Technically they can do this while, doing Tribadism on the kitchen floor, or touching each other....

 

[xapican]

Speaking of Yuna, Shani met her girlfriend in the zone, maybe MC and Yuna + Shani go on a rescue mission ? and unravel more secrets over there ?

You're gonna trigger both the anti-lesbianism and anti-NTR squads.

I didn't really get the feeling that she needs rescue seeing she's multiple times the age of MC and Shani. What she needs is some good old mental reassurance and speech training same as Yuna. I'm sure she can take care of herself otherwise since spending time in the zones seems to be her main hobby.

Who knows maybe Shani will meet with Yuna at cave with her dad, and formulate a plan to heal her of her obsessions. Who but the developer knows how that side story will unfold. Will the three of them go on personal side mission, and try to bring girl back into fold. Or will she vanish into a zone like a ghost only to appear randomly, and then vanish without a trace again as before? The developer is the only one who would know how this might all end.. Good story so far so let us hope for the best, and prepare for the worst in any case.

Oh, I agree, that not having the spotlight shown on LIs in a harem game for some time is an annoyance, but I do like how Zetan is handling these women as they have significance within the story, whether just in our household, Zeta, or the world at large, or even the MC himself, and are given a good amount of content for when they do show up. I cannot think of a single LI in this story who doesn't impact those 4 categories I mentioned (I'm not sure if Talia and Lirah count, but if they do, then I stand corrected), and with the new dev log stating they wish to make the Queen's Palace and our household more interactive and alive, lesser characters like Emilia, Kateryna, Fairy (I named her Harmony), Sharifa, Talia, Lirah, etc. will hopefully get to better express their characterization, outside of just the scenes/events. Additionally, with this new feature, I would not be surprised if the Mutant bunker and the newly-acquired highway settlement by Kyra and Asha's raider faction (since it has the base of operations menu like the mutant bunker does) would also experience the same undertaking. Basically, giving us more content as well as depth for Kyra, Asha, as well as Fang and Ivy/Yuna beyond just story progression.

On the other hand, many developers on this site have about 20-40+ LIs (even more are added to the story progressively) with no depth to the point they are cookie cutters of the first 8-12 introduced in the game. Not only do these cookie cutters soak up so much time and effort, but the developers blatantly ignore anymore content for the original cast, whether sex scenes or just simply knowing what the fuck is going in those characters' lives beyond day (insert number here). At least, Zetan and his development team, at the bare minimum, respect their community's difference of opinions and ideas and not try to silence their opposition until everyone has a lifetime membership to their cult of personality.

I'm simply saying that whenever Kyra+Asha and Fang+Ivy/Yuna do appear they will most likely have detailed, lengthy content to really have the female characters shine in whatever update they appear. The amount of demand for the raider sisters and Ivy specifically really speaks volumes of how extremely well Zetan and his crew made these female LIs, and I don't believe they would purposely mishandle/fix something that isn't broken.
