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

[Cynicaladm]

Sometimes the dev takes time out of the development time to go take a shit.
Sometimes he has spicy food, and taking a shit takes longer (and burns).
Should he stop eating spicy food because it takes more time away from programming than bland food and someone out there cares to have an opinion?
(It's also worth noting that the computers he works with continue the rendering process and generating the animations even when he's taking a shit, so the actual time lost is minimal anyway.)

I would like whoever has a "problem" with any specific fetish, whether it's sharing, pissing, anal or an other, to count the total number of images and animations dedicated to it specifically (not the numbers of scenes, the number of images actively depicting that fetish), and calculate the percentage of images that represents of the total number of images in the game. I would like them to write that small number on a piece of paper and, since that number still does not reflect the amount of time and energy actually dedicated to anything specific, I would like them to take that piece of paper, roll it up tight and do something creative with it.

We will, as we have always done, decide for each character what fits best for that character as the story progresses, whether it's sexual content or not... However much time it takes away from taking a shit.

Time and resources allocation is nobody's business but his.
Anyone who has an opinion about it can shut up about it or express it with their wallet, as I would expect anyone to do anyway, and decide to support the dev or not and even stop supporting him if the game or parts of it become a disappointment.
He is not entitled to your money and you are not entitled to dictate how he should develop the game, even when you do give him said money.

To clarify, the above is my PERSONAL opinion on any game, whether I'm involved with making it or not. Unless the author does the idiot thing of letting the supporters vote on where to take the story and throws creative control in the bin working basically on commission, that's how it should be.
I hope we can all be adults and you won't go give Z aggro because of my words.

I'm not going to respond to everything since I'm busy at the moment, but I'll counter you with this:

I think lesbian scenes are boring as fuck in most AVNs. So because of that, it's a waste of development time for Zetan to work on Shani + Queen scenes. I also hate sleep sex, rape, and prostitution. Any development time spent on those fetishes are a waste of time. See how that sounds? Basically, fuck everyone else who likes that, because this is what I want.

My point is - the dev put the fetish in the game. He's going to spend time on what he feels is good for a scene. He's going to continue to make it so those that don't like it don't have to experience it. It's not that big of a deal.

I'm fine with both lesbian scenes and the lesbian fetish, when well done; sleep sex, rape and prostitution are generally not my thing.

* I thought it was great story telling when Zaton made the younger raider sister Asha pay for attacking him by taking oral from her - the price for defeat. Was it rape - yes, but it set the tone for the world of the story and, in particular, the lawlessness of the wastes versus the law within Zeta proper.

Put simply - it was not gratuitous rape - AKA rape for the sake of rape - it was a way to help tell the story.

Spoiler: Asha - the price of defeat

This was an important part of setting the tone in this new, brutal world - after all it is not Mr. Rogers Neighborhood.

So - you hate rape, and I thought this had an important place in the story telling, - agree to disagree.

I'm fine with the dev not giving us Shani and the Queen lesbian scenes.

I Want more of the Zaton/Shani/Queen story line and the sexy time the 3 of them shared in the thermae - all as part of the story.

My primary points re: the potential expansion of the sharing fetish were:

This is from the last dev log:

Repeatable events:
...
- Igor repeatable visit: 10%
- Raider throne room repeatables: 5%
- Mutants repeatable sex events: 0%

We'll see how many different events Igor gets with Zaton's women versus how many different events Zaton gets with the Raider and mutant women, given the dangers he's taken on to make those visits happen.

As to Shani - I think the heir is, putting it bluntly, not just another set of holes for sharing under the guise of 'she can make her own choices.'

And, having commented on the lesbian sex example and my desired focus on the Zaton/Shani/Queen story arc - I accept that we must also agree to disagree re: the sharing expansion/Shani sharing.

I suspect that we enjoy many of the same things about DS.

We must agree to disagree on some areas as we clearly have some fetishes/aspects of storytelling that we enjoy to different degrees...

I can accept that.

I'm looking forward to the next release of Desert Stalker and I hope that the release on the big stage - Steam - goes well.

I plan on buying it even though I already have full access as a $ supporter.

Cheers!!

Not that I want it to be that way but, is the game gonna come back to the brutality of the start at some point? The game used to promise brutal violence and radical choices but after the early two or three scenes, that never came back again. It's still supposed to happen? Or the game was intentionally toned down to be published on steam?

 

[colombianhoes]

Man nobody cares if you are supporter or what your kinks are.

Also raping someone isnt a story exactly, its like saying i just woke up today it was a great story telling.
It seems like you dont know what story is but only care about sex scenes.

Yall seriously be counting how many sharing scenes there are lmao
I can barely think of 3 or 4 meanwhile theres 20+ others

 

[strenif]

Man. Picked up Desert Stalker again after a few years away. Fuck, I forgot how good it is.

Love me some raider sisters.

Was kinda shocked we haven't seen the little sister go down on the older one yet.

 

[Leinad_Sevla]

My logic is this, Ain, Kateryna and Emilia are both in the harem menu, but so is Shani, imma let you figure out the rest.
Now, does she really end up doing it is open for discussion i guess, as far as i remember, Zaton told her to tell him when she finds someone, so MC probably wont force anything like he forces everyone being alpha sigma badass dominant unkillable man.

So Ain, Kat and Emilia are all one thing and Shani is it´s own separate thing, is that it? If Shani is added to the sharing stuff, it will be crazy hot, if she just keeps getting her "regular" scenes, that´s hot too.
See, I never got the sense that Zaton forces them into doing anything. Might be just me, but I always felt that they could refuse to do the thing, it´s just that they don´t really mind.

 

[Leinad_Sevla]

There is still quite a big difference between a fighter / future-head-of-the-household and a sexy matron.

Lacking a son, Shani will be Zaton's heir. Therefore she will either marry a politically favorable person (the Queen?) or marry someone who can take care of her affairs at home, same as what Zahra is doing for Zaton.

I always thought of Shani as his heir, probably because she chose to be the same profession as him. Also, she is the oldest. But that thought never crossed my mind. I guess I think Zaton will become ruler next to the Queen (or at least with enough influence for it) and Shani and the rest of the family will reap the benefits that come with that, while at the same time being whatever they want. In Shani´s case, she would be what Zaton is now and has been for years, a Stalker working for who is in charge.

But with Shani it's different. She needs to carve out her own place in Zetan society and it's unlikely that she'll do that by fucking people who happen to be friends of her father.

Shani can do whatever she wants, including fucking his father´s bff. I agree that she doesn´t have to do it and it probably won´t be what makes her famous as a stalker, but she can be what her father is. Zaton made a name for himself as Stalker and, in the meantime, was also fucking around with a lot of women. Why can´t she do the same? Unless we´re strickly talking about sharing her like she´s there at our disposal like the others, what stops her from wanting to join in if something is happening in front of her?

Besides, if Shani gets pregnant then it would be a rather big problem for her future, both in the short term (less chance to get fighting experience due pregnancy) and in the long term (less marriage prospects due to being damaged goods).

In this case, Shani has a mouth she can use if she doesn´t want the guy to cum inside her.

Btw, I hope all this talk about sharing Shani or not isn´t making you or anyone actually pissed. At least talking for myself, this is really just discussing it the scenario, nothing more. I´m not demanding anything.

Remember, offence has to be given, not taken. If someone chooses to give you that power over them, that's their problem surely.

 

[hitman2511]

I share nobody there are all mine and i will impregnate them all and i hope we can steal Igors girlfriend. This is the only real way to play this game.

By the way my Desert Stalker take place in Egypt and not in Cuckistan.

 

[Sether0]

i will impregnate them all

I hope we will be given such an opportunity.

Ain is kinda refusing but she cant deny the great power of our MC lmao

Ur playing a game located in Egypt, a city in Zeta exactly, where its customary to share your slaves or harem.
But that means ur not a real Zetan, so i dont see your point there, if anything it doesnt fit.Ur not playing Harem Hotel or Hero's Harem lmao

 

[Penumbral Evanescence]

she cant deny the great power of our MC lmao

As it should be. There is indeed no other alternative other than Zaton himself

It's quite hard to pull out when staring down at a face like this



*ahem*, wrong face. This one of course

 

[colombianhoes]

I always knew Desert Stalker takes inspiration from a lot of other movies and games, but i just realised it also takes inspiration from S.t.a.l.k.e.r games. Saw the new Stalker 2 coming out and im new in the series and then i realized DS used a lot of stuff from there lol.

So it makes me wonder are there any things they didnt rip off or implemented something original by themselves.

Also someone removed my post but this time it had a smiley face . Thats new.
Was that you Pneumball?
Can you remove posts lol

 

[strenif]

You know you've written a good story when your fans are fighting about it.

 

[R8d_X]

Absolutely true, and besides a good story the game covers a lot of kinks. This game has a ton of tags

True, but I hate misunderstandings at my expense, and someone being mad for this topic would be one. If I can help avoid it, the better.

I hope we will be given such an opportunity.

You probably will. Kat, Emilia and Fairy have mentioned that they want a little Zaton. Even the Hive Queen wants it.
It won´t happen in my game, but the option should definitely be there.

Ain is kinda refusing but she cant deny the great power of our MC lmao

Ahah true. Even then, I still don´t think Zaton would force her to do something, she just feels like she has to obey him. And even then, Igor is always asking if Zaton is really okay with it.

 

[Leinad_Sevla]

I think we can all agree with one thing when it comes to sharing content: at some point there has to be a scene with Igor and Nadia. Igor let us have his niece, we should let him have ours. A niece for a niece, I think it´s only fair.
