Ren'Py Desert Stalker [v0.18.1] [Zetan]

[Iamthegoldengod]

FYI for players playing on android using Joiplay:

For me, game worked perfectly except for one issue. During the fight animation near the outskirts of the zone (Shani scene), the time based option for some reason didn't register with touch. So I used the in-built joystick of Joiplay to quickly select the choice and hit enter. Even if you hit enter, the choice doesn't disappear until time runs out but the game will register that choice so keep doing that during the scene. (For me, I would use the joystick to quick select my choice hit enter and bring the selection back to my quick menu and then again quickly use joystick to select next choices and come back to quick menu again...i would bring selection back to quick menu cuz otherwise i couldnt see where the joystick was pointing..)..

Not sure if you encountered this issue but if you did here's how it worked for me.

Backstage reveal time: we had one more character in mind, to be part of that household, then we realised we had enough material already and it would have added a layer of unnecessary complexity, and we just didn't find it the right fit.. so we scrapped the character and forgot to remove it from that one line.

so, yeah...

Nice to have this info. I've been wondering ever since I saw that dialogue what the deal was with Kian, since it was the only reference to him/her. Even did a few searches in this thread and on discord and couldn't find anything. Kian could still be an interesting character to add if he was just a solid nephew character that Zetan can count on and doesn't cause a fuss. A sort of younger Igor. But I understand wanting to keep things at Rabiah's house at the current level of complexity. Plenty going on there already.

That´s funny coming from a guy who gets hard by thinking about Igor.

You get hard thinking about Zaton, you're gay in denial.

 

[bygonemyths]

yea well like in sparta he would probably be thrown from the mountain.

Yeah we ain't in Sparta now aren't we? We in age of Woke in America, and you sure as hell be the one to be thrown of the mountain. Yeehaw, giddeyup!

Hot Sands of Antarctica is said to be a poorman's version of DS. I haven't played it yet, so can't comment the quality.

I have been playing this game for close to two years now and sometimes I wonder if Zaton should have a serious nemesis like someone who doesn't get instantly killed but is consistently making plots to challenge his authority for example some advisor close to the queen who can try to influence the queen to go against Zaton. I think it would add a new dimension to the game. What do u all think?

A fair point.
I do agree that Zaton is a bit all might in his own world.

Maybe the next chapter will bring some adversity...

Actually, there is such a person, this is his former mentor, whom he met in the ruins of Cairo, the leader of these cannibals... I don't remember his name. He has an army of cannibal soldiers loyal to him, crowds of slaves, his own railway, oil rigs, cities... I wouldn't be surprised, his power and strength are much greater than that of our young queen. It seems to me that Zaton will eventually completely undermine the queen and become king himself, after which he will resist the army of cannibals led by his former mentor. Well, or something like that...

I feel like the queen's bodyguard can be that person as she is very antagonistic to the MC. She got her previous bodyguard in trouble and eliminated and took his place so she is devious and ambitious and has the ear of the queen.

He can just marry her and everybody (including the queen) will be happy.

Lord Abraxas is not his Nemesis at least for now. During their encounter in Decayed City Abraxas helps Zaton.

 

[UwUfufu]

This game is like, totally my top fave right now!

Not yet but it's logical that they will be at war in the near future. All Zeta / Zaton does the last couple of updates is gathering allies for this coming war. Zeta needs to control the oil.

He who controls Dune, controls the Spice.
He who controls the Spice, controls the Universe.

But there is no need for Zaton to replace the Queen because he already controls her to a sufficient extent. Like in ancient Egypt, the Queen is not only the political head but also has a important religious function. Zaton cannot replace her even if he wanted to.

Indeed. Merneith can be the ruthless and sadistic queen that all Zetans love and fear, and also be a daddy's girl for Zaton when they're alone.
