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

[srfsmrf_]

Did the old game not ask you specifically if you want to see this kind of content at the start?

Yeas, the new game does as well. Except for 'sharing' though, but maybe the game will ask you when the time comes?

Well, anyways as long as there is only the one scene at the start with Ain and Zhara that is altered I guess I have to live with it and instead feel happy about better renders and looks.

Having read most of the reports on 0.17 here, there is more, and there are still some things unclear to me.
Made a (scenes) list based on the reports. I'm not sure what 'Ain's massage' is referring to, don't recall it, but it has been mentioned.
Maybe someone that played through it can fill in the blanks / question marks:

Updated 2024-12-17

0.16:

1. Zahra's welcome back home bj with sidekick Ain
2. Ain's random morning towel scene
3. Ain's massage
4. City date with Ain (talking about her ambitions)
5. Cum sharing Ain+Shani living room
6. Testing Fairy's limits
7. Ain's punishment

0.17:

1. Ain stays at a distance, Zaton sends her away (0.16 renders still shipped with the game's content though)
2. present
3. still shipped with the game's content, doesn't trigger in-game
4. present
5. one report: it's present, other report: doesn't trigger. Relationship must be father-daughter for this to be available
6. present
7. present, reworked. Some changes in camera angles

Regarding #1:

That specific change happened because it was flagged by Patreon due to the angles of renders making Ain look younger than she is.

I think Ka1tzer made a good report on the beta (#20,878). If he's reading this: I wonder what your findings are now the final has been released?

I may be updating this post. Thanks RX-9/C for confirming most of these (with screenshots).

A couple more things I've noticed between the versions.

- Missing scene when meeting Nadia for the first time? You can join the guard & slave, but there is a scene missing with them having sex.
- (Thankfully) Missing "Test her limits" scene with Fairy (I can understand why this was removed)

 

[With The]

seriously how many content they cutting that people havent found exactly ?

 

[Meabe37]

I just finished the last version, all Ain content that i can remember from before is in there. (But it's still not enough, we need more Ain !)

@johnsmith15379: This Nadia scene is still definitively there. I don't know about the Fairy thing tho because i'm always nice to her^^

 

[Mcknobz33]

So the the game got butchered?

You can say little bit yeah.

You mean at the market right. I remember 0.17 beta sex was happening, or it was a bj or something. The scene doesn't play at all now, or has it been altered?

Can you help solve some question marks? (And definitely more (of) Ain )

 

[Meabe37]

The post that you are quoting from me already answer your question i believe but yes all the scenes are all there and the same i think, like i said, as far as i can remember.

It wasnt removed, now you can go even further and worser with her....

 

[DaynNight090]

so everyone character has sex scene except OMAR?

Justice for OMAR

 

[Allan Trumbull]

\\ OLD SAVES will not work for v0.17 and beyond //. Why ??

 

[Satou Pendragon]

Because of change in the code.

Man, that is great news! I had not expected to get more content for broken fairy in this update already.

 

[HeheBwoi]

no

 

[Mcknobz33]

no

The missing scenes and the vagueness of the Dev response says otherwise

whats missing?

So it's more than that 1 scene at the beginning. That's a little worrying for a game like DS where it's edge adds a lot of weight for the player. Blunt those edges too much and in simply becomes less interesting.

The whole 'It's not censorship, it's a rework' line feels super disingenuous too. Changing content to 'less risky' content because of upcoming reviews (their words) is undeniably censorship whatever way they want to paint it. Don't piss on somebody's boots and tell them it's raining.

People are right to be questioning the game's direction that's for sure.

I'll be updating this post based on people's reports. Will convert it to a table. First I'm going stop procrastinating over my tasks here

Thanks for your reports: johnsmith15379 (#6)

1 3 5 still in the game files but doesn't trigger

So no basically the game still has every content , some didn't show up

Please don't just read a bunch of nonsense/gaslighting and think it is true. Try playing it.
