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

[Just Jericho]

its funny people keep complaining about rework, almost every update he reworks some scenes. This update just seem unusual because of focus on it for the steam release.

Normally I really don't like when devs go into rework mode, but I don't mind it in Desert Stalker because the dev has never halted forward progress on the game during the reworks. Every update has mostly been new content with a little bit of reworks. The new content is always good and the reworked content is always good.

So many other devs catch the rework bug after they've learned a few new techniques and they stop progress altogether to focus on making older scenes pretty. I've seen some VNs go into reworks 2 or 3 times over and they're still not finished. Thank goodness Desert Stalker wasn't done that way. IMO, new techniques should first and foremost be applied to new content and forward progress on the project should always be maintained.

Yeah, that's precisely why I factored in both the Steam release/reworks extending the time for the 0.17 upgrade. Otherwise, the mid-late October timeline would have been the more likely release time frame if not for the Steam release/additional reworks.

Pretty confident that the next updates will return to the usual schedule. Even if the Dev does some reworks here and there (he might think of something that can improve a previous scene), it will never be to the extent he did now.

Amazing game

Yeah, I feel the same way as well. Tbh, I think with v0.17, Zetan went just a tad bit overboard with remodelling previous scenes and implementing net-new reworks, but ultimately I think future updates might return to a more "business as usual" update schedule.

 

[masterwaya]

such a good game! thank you for that I love the story, can't wait to find out more about things

 

[Hornycowboy89]

I would wager like Mid-late November. Early December at the absolute latest.

Ok cool

This games go on for years and it's already a pain in the ass when you are invested with passion on the project. You want more, you would like to see it completed and see the authors spending time on reworks feels like a waste of time. Yet, their project, their call.

I mean, if there was a time to do that, it´s now. Do it all the major stuff in one go and get it out of the way.

So how much content do I have left? I'll spoiler it just in case so I can say where I am at within 0.16c

Yeah, like the age-old adage say's "why put off tomorrow what can be done today"

Dev log 13.10.2024

Hey everyone, the mutants scene is almost completed, what is missing is a small outro that similar to the one with the Hive quest which shows a bit of an aftermath. I decided to seperate the NSFW scene planned from the quest itself, and attack that one in another week. Hence the big jump in %.

It was fun to make this one, but also quite draining, so I am going to switch focus this week to more compact events, one of which will be Igor and Savana's repeatable visit, I am looking forward to working on these.

On a separate note, we are on the search for a UI/UX artist for some commission work and I thought we might as well ask here. If any exist among you and is interested (or you know one that might be), you can message me here or on Discord for more details.

Until next week!

Yes, I like Igor repeatable visits. Hopefully the developers will make Zahra and Savana swap and let Igor's cock insert Zahra.
Jessica from the game next door has already managed to "work" with old Parker.
Sharing is the best!

Here's the continuation? Igor and his girlfriend

Here's the continuation? Igor and his girlfriend

It looks like it, because there's never been one before. And all the repeatable events in this game have sex!

Well, the more the merrier I say

 

[Невзор]

I'm waiting for the opportunity to fuck Savana in front of Igor! If you are adding NTR to the game, then let's go in all directions! If Igor can fuck our girls... then we can fuck his girlfriend too! What do you think, comrades?

I think it's time Igor let us have some fun with his GF just like we let him have fun with Ain, Emilia, Zahra and Kateryna in the last update. She's clearly waiting to have fun with egyptian Kratos.

If you played the previous update, after the Kateryna scene with Igor, Savana hints at that possibility. So fucking Savana will definitely happen. Probably with Igor tagging along like with Kateryna.
