Ren'Py Desert Stalker [v0.18.0 Beta] [Zetan]

[Ragnar]

Are you guys interested in the story of this game? Or do you play just for the porn?

The story and settings are more important than the porn scenes imo. This doesn't mean that the game needs less sex don't get me wrong.
Imagine the same game, same characters, but instead of a Desert Stalker Zaton is a father banging his family and relatives in a modern setting

VNs are more about the story and background than the raw porn. Because real porn will always be superior visually.
Many devs don't understand this or are incapable of creating interesting worlds beyond; you are Chad Thundercock and your mother is addicted to your cock.

Oh here comes the philosopher!
Take a look at yourself and where you are, and drop the act.

This game is going to get watered down because of steam

No it's not. Steam really only cares about underage/underage settings (like high school). Patreon is far more restrictive on the content you're allowed to have.

Couldn't agree more

The world-building and engrossing narrative of Desert Stalker is what makes the game a profoundly compelling experience for me.

The sex and adult content is always welcome of course. But as you said, if the game took place in a more modern setting, it would become quite stale over time due to the repetitive themes.

Some VNs are a big hit due to the raw story/narrative and character development which makes for a more standout experience as opposed to just merely hyperfocusing on the adult themes alone.

Escapism due to story elements in VN matter just as much as the porn itself at times. After all, isn't that why we all play AVNs from time to time? To escape the mundanity of real life and express our fantasies in a shared platform with others who feel the same way in a sense. Just my $0.02

Both.

 

[Leinad_Sevla]

I cannot explain in words how smitten I am with Zahra. She looks out of this world. Ive seen only one or two porn characters who have this hypnotizing effect on me. Someone should use her exact model and make a dating sim/romance type game revolving around her.

Well, now you have to tell us (me) who those other characters are.

is 0.16c not any different from 0.16b? i transferred my saves any still cant continue from when i just had the 0.16b. Was there like new content added or what's the difference

No there should not have been any 'major' content updates at all between the lettered versions. Only the numbered versions
(e.g., v0.15 -> v0.16).

Going by the changelog, there have only been some animations/bug/quest fixes implemented between 0.16b and 0.16c.



So not sure of why you can't start from where you had last left off. You don't need to transfer your saves IIRC if you just download v0.16c your saves should automatically be transferred over because Ren'PY

im guessing i just reached the end of all the current content? because i can load my saves still. And the game itself says 0.16c. And when i still had 0.16b it said "you have reached the end of non repeatable content for this update". So in turn i downloaded 0.16c and i still get the same pop up. so i cannot go on the map and only do house things

just skipped a day, can access the map now. But no new quests meaning "!" that symbol. So yeah assuming its the end of content for now

Oh yeah, then it's defo the end of content. Because the versions between lettered updates doesn't add any new content, so even if u booted up 0.16C, you will still be faced with the "end of repeatable content" flag simply because there was not actual story content added between lettered releases. Only numbered releases.

ah i see, when does new content updates usually come out?

Typically every 4-5 months is the usual release cycle for major content updates between different version updates in DS. However, the latest pending update (0.17) has been pushed to December atm, due to some additional rework material needing to be ironed out before the official V0.17 release.

If your game is cool (like this), the steam will condensate on it and water it down.
