Ren'Py Desert Stalker [v0.19.2] [Zetan]

100%. Steel doesn't just go bad, if it is kept dry so it doesn't rust it will literally last thousands of years. The desert is the perfect place for it

Well yes, but also if it was locked in some space. Because rains happen even in deserts, and sandstorms could do pretty rough sanding, especially to more delicate parts of complex items. When Z found a new ride, it was locked - another was beyond salvaging.
About the ammo going bad, the usual issue is with the primer, which degrades much faster and gives a misfire. Especially if it was in a hot, or humid environment etc. So the gunpowder should be reusable, at least partially - because it also can undergo partial crystallization (may damage the weapon) or jellification (may lodge the bullet).
And yes, blackpowder would lack power (so you would need to rack after each shot) and leave a ton of a nasty shit inside the barrel. Which would be a royal PITA to clean out from the rifled barrel. And I guess that is a main cause of widespread adoption of the barrel rifling after invention of the modern gunpowder.

I mean, I thought it was pretty obvious that we're talking about guns left in sheltered places, not just sitting out on a sand dune. Guns are generally kept indoors rather than left lying around on the ground.
And rifling was widely adopted before the development of smokeless powder, the hurdle there was that rifling requires a tight fit to work so ramming a musket ball down a rifled barrel is significantly slower than a smoothbore. When breachloaders became common though they were all rifled, even though they were still using black powder.

why a belly piercing now?
i hope you as MC can change that, or she gets rid of it?

and he didnt mention it AT ALL, not even thinking about it, so why even bother xD

oh god, another one?!
what is happening here?! i finally get to play after some updates, and then i see THIS :X
this unaesthetic trash... mutilating a perfectly fine belly/body...




too bad there wasnt even a sign. those... things, leave a hole where you puncture through, and you see that forever and ever...

edit: ok, im done for now...

This update was very good. With nice content.
Love the two possible paths with the guard and the small event with the queen.
This last one fit even better on the dominating path.

I would love to have the interlude on the living room with Kat as main girl !!

Belly button piercings - sort of ok. But nipple piercing - yeah, that one is weird. Should be a choice

But then all the renders have to be done multiple times.
You have to consider that there are also multiple permutations in scenes that may or may not contain other characters too.
It isn't practical, so if the Dev envisions the character that way, then people are just going to have to suck it up.

Ok I now see what you were talking about. The scenes inserted randomly having Ain, Kat, and even fairy show up after sleeping with Zarah happening supposedly in morning after. Problem is that all the different random pop ins are making some of the triggers for quest updates not trigger, and or they cause the game to show you having the morning wake up pop ins only to pop back into a night scene making it hard to follow. Annoying for latter part if trying to advance story, but guessing if events finally trigger albeit later than should not going to quit playing because of a few annoying bits. Thanks for your input and reading my rants. Hoping somehow events will trigger when supposed to like night visits from Ivy, and not after morning random scene. I think if going to have random scenes appear in morning after sleeping with whomever that it should happen after the middle of night events. Just my opinion not bashing the game or Dev.

Dev log 30.06.2024

The release is out and public by now, and I have yet to add a small patch to avoid taking Talia at the end of Lirah's questline head on, among other minor things. I have slowly started meddling with daz again after taking a break because the grass was in bad need of being touched, so the pictures above are some more rework previews for now.

Next week I want to take care of some neglected real life things, and then dive right back into 0.17. It's great to see that 0.16 was picked up positively, I think it was a good idea after all to flesh out a quest rather than spead out the content and serve only half of it.

I will post a character concept preview next week!

Do you guys think that the MC will ever fuck the Queen and Ivy?

Will there be an update released that isn't a beta release? (Is there a set time schedule that an alpha or complete version will be released soon?)

Regards.

1) I don't really get the concept of relations in their family. So those two girls are step-daughters to MC and to his wife? I think in some of the dialogs the wife mentioned that. So those girls are adopted or something. They might be the Children of Zeta, born by some aspiring priestess. And then adopted. Am I right? I know there is a note in the library but it's kind of hard to get through.
So in that case they are not relatives by blood, and their relations aren't like those we all used to, but rather like those described in Robert Heinlein's 'Moon's a harsh mistress' or in the Expanse series (Holden's family, Drummer's warband).
Would be nice if the developer provided a clear definition to their relations. It's disturbing to think of an incest. Also the younger sister looks like 'mother', and the older one looks like 'father', it's confusing too. I doubt now that even 'sisters' are relatives by blood.


2) There seem to be some other misconception. What of their age? MC mentioned multiple times that he got married 30 years ago or so. That makes him at least 45 yo, and his wife too. They look too young. I understand there might be some rejuvenate techniques, but still. Also when we see that old master who will become lord of Decayed, the MC already has a beard, and he isn't married yet.

3) There are clearly a mistake with dates. In the 'Trainee' note we see the same date as in the 'The Long Walk'. It is clear that 'Trainee' should have at least Y437, like in the 'Reflections'.

These things are important since the game has such profound take in history. Any porn without history is boring.

What's there to explain? It's a typical landlord, landlady and tenants relationship. The girls are studying at Zetan University while living in Zaton's house. Nothing strange about that.

For me it's obvious the real intent was for Shani & Ain to be both Zaton and Zahra daughters. However, Patreon gets kinda pissy when incest is involved, so the dev added a different relationship for the girls to avoid getting in trouble with Patreon (and I suppose for those that aren't into the incest kink too).
