Ren'Py Desert Stalker [v0.18.3] [Zetan]

[xapican]

Looks kind of like a stucco southwestern US pseudo-Spanish ranch style. I assume similar styles are common in desert & arid regions because they tend to be cooler.

It is mediterranean style, and has its origins, in the occupation of spain, by the Osman empire, materials being usally bricks, you find this kind of architecture, spread in Adalusia, Morroco etc. hence Meditaranean style.

Hi, the Osman empire never occupied "Spain", the style of the houses are indeed an inheritance of muslim occupation. It was in the 711 when the muslims started their invasion and their occupation was for so many years and now we can see their architecture mainly in the south of Spain, as you said.

The Osman empire attacked some territories near "Spain" like the current Balear Island (I don´t know if this is the correct name in english, in spanish is called "Islas Baleares") but they only made incursions without the idea of a big occupation.

So yes, the architecture is from mediterranean countries but in "Spain" was introduced by the muslims since the year 711 until 1492 where The Catholic Kings expulsed the invasors.

Osman

Sorry I tipped it out of my head I was refering to "los Moros" in the period before the "reconquista"

After that period, it was brought to the new world, so it is not uncommon to find it over here, exept in Brasil , and in the southwestern part of Northamerica (geographically speaking)

looks like a morrocan riad

Sorry it was my fault, Spain was ocupied by the Moors, which are from northern Africa.
not like I wrote by the Osman empire (Turkey) although
It is probably a Morrocan riad, the Mediterranean style is strongly influenced by it .

Has the dev posted anything regarding the update?

He said he is aiming for November to release the update

The world of Desert Stalker and Zeta in and of itself is quite the multi-cultural society indeed

Can someone please help me learn what kind of weapons are used by each character in this game? What are their names? This is for creative needs, thank you!

Most swords / machete's / knives / daggers in this game are fantasy weapons not based on historical patterns.

That makes guessing their names irrelevant.

Also, the way they scaled, held and used unfortunately leaves a lot to be desired. It's probably the one aspect where the attention to detail (or dev's knowledge) is slipping below the usual high quality.

Yeah could be that the dev probably isn't well versed on the history at the time the weapons were manufactured in.

Probably more fantasy-inspired than they are historically referenced.

For what it's worth, at least there's variety in the weapons being introduced. Makes combat more immersive by having different weapon options presented to the player to look at, even though there is no "combat gameplay" per se in the traditional sense, I do like to study what weapons are being used by each of the characters in the game.

That could be, but it also could be: "What does the Daz store have that looks like it could be ancient weaponry?"

are those Egyptian-style, though? Look more like Spartan. But I'm no weapons expert. No fucking idea. I just enjoy the story for what it is.

Yeah tbh, for me personally I don't pay the weapons that much attention, I mean its good to know the history and/or lore behind the weaponry and how they came to survive in the post-apocalyptic world of Zeta, but I just shake it off as "Extra Details" and focus on the meat and potatoes of the overarching plot/narrative itself for the most part.

But to each their own I guess ;D

This pack:

You must be registered to see the links

does contain actual ancient Egyption weapons (except for the 2nd from bottom, which is an Ethiopian shotel).

The top-most dagger is used in the game, but scaled up to be a short-ish sword, which doesn't make a lot of sense.

But anyway, it's fine. I'm sure that Zaton would have superior weapons at his disposal than ancient Egyptian relics.

Oh we all know what he's packing for sure in terms of "weaponry"

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ¬ᴗ¬) ( ¬ᴗ¬)

True. The game is set in the future, so there'd be more modern weapons, as well. Or maybe new blacksmiths that create new styles.

huehuehue... someone's got a dirty mind

Well, I mean, given the choice of locale...

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
