Ren'Py Desert Stalker [v0.19.4] [Zetan]

[Ummmh]

Like I said, I could see how next update might have a "bad end" circumstance come up that you can otherwise avoid.

Like this one earlier on, which is completely avoidable with proper choices.

Spoiler: Early Shani Bad End

Which end was that? In the pyramid in the first mission w/her and MC? If so, I think I might have last played that one before there was artwork for the bad end.

Guys do you fapped a lot? This game is so masterpiece.I feel so tired now. Will we analized queen in the future?

 

[Canto Forte]

Sadly players be speculating she might get poked in all positions by the horde. Their engagement is this out of touch with the game, plot, scenes and character arcs of the characters, they just jump on the gang ruffians waggong.

Will we analized queen in the future?

I haven't had the opportunity to go back through my many many saves (if you have a lot of saves it's actually very time consuming to go through them since they don't really have a skip function in the search)

Skip button be too heavy or too far away from your position to keep pushed a little longer? You might do well to remember even the basbarians that attack MC right from the get go in the very beginning of this game are restless about trying to gang ruffle the feathers of their own leaders, let alone somebody else's leader. In this game, Zetans, barbarians, or decayed do not need mental gymnastics to be evil and vile and hard plus dangerous to live with, let alone near or opposite.

Yep it's the first mission with her, also you can have bad ending on her mission in the zone, other than that i don't know.

If you can find a skip button on the SAVE/LOAD page I'll be more than happy to use it, but there isn't one that I found, and that's why I have trouble locating specific points in the story because I have hundreds of pages of saves that I have to click through.

It's because I go back and try out multiple paths on most stuff, and save on the different branches, and I tend to save on very interesting artwork.

As for the rest about the temperament of the various groups I'm not really sure what you're on about.

Yeah that's the only two Bad Endings I know (both are for her), as well

P.S.

That zone bad end makes me sad. At least w/the mummy one, tho everyone in her family will be devastated, at least they will know what happened, but the zone end, w/that endless diversion into death, no one will ever know what happened to her, and even Shani, w/n know what is happening to her, in a way. The family would likely be wrecked by the question hanging over them.

Stuck here, Nothing is happening in the game. I still have Kyra in basement, but the basement button is not clickable. The car button next to map is also not clickable, in map the only location I can see is Home. Anyone have any idea or do I need to restart?

What version are you on 0.19.2 or 0.19.3 cause 0.19.3 came with a patch to fix this

Concept render: Yuna

Her story trails deep into forgotten days, and on that one day, it nearly ended. Yet her tower remains, its walls still carrying the echoes of what she left behind.

Hoping for a return. It´s been way too long.

I think it's being strongly implied that the Dark-eye-dyed folk are the Legion who showed up at the gate of the Raider-controlled settlement, and this allows two plotlines to be brought together in a single fight, which could end up uniting presently opposing political factions (like Zeta and the Raiders).

...

The TLDR of Shani not getting preggo is:.

It is something the MC constsntly enforces with himself by not coming in her, even tho it's endlessly obvious he wants to very badly, because she's a stalker and it would be highly risky for a stalker to be pregnant in the field.

More in depth:.

Stalkers have to do a LOT of intense activity in highly dangerous and rapidly changing situations, all while having to keep their food and water intake moderated, their steps light and movement fast, and their sleep infrequent, likely erratic/on a shifting schedule, and somewhat light (which could be a real problem for Shani, since she, like all the women in her family, sleeps VERY soundly), all to avoid ambushes, and all of this while being frequently bombarded by hyper-dangerous chemical, biological, and radiological agents.

So, not only would it be FAR more difficult and dangerous for Shani to work as a stalker if she was pregnant (especially once she became heavily pregnant, at which point it would be pretty much impossible), but would also be severely difficult and dangerous for her child. Thus, the MC has repeatedly avoided knocking her up, even though he's really, REALLY struggling about it, as he has EXTREMELY strong drives and is clearly rarin' to go all the way, now that Shani's made herself available to him.

It probably doesn't help that he's the only one fighting this urge, aside from Shani herself (who obviously has a strong stake in not getting knocked up, since she too knows that would put an end to the one career she's trained for her whole life): no one else in the house is fighting the MC putting Shani in the family way, as Zhara (especially) and Ain are clearly just fine with her becoming a brood mare; Zhara would clearly love not having to fear for her daughter's safety and the risk of never having grandchildren from her, while Ain would likely be jealous but happily sisterly supportive at the same time).

...

As to the queen getting used, she definitely put herself in that situation and, quite bluntly, her mouth is going to get her in even more trouble, I suspect, as it already has started to. The queen looks like she's being lined up for a hard and long set of lessons in humiliation, but it remains to be seen.

I see what your saying. I understood later that you meant that the Legion guys want to use Shani to have babies and that would be bad for everyone. Obviously that would count as a bad ending, which probably will lead to a Game Over screen, like it has before. SO whatever the situation is, there will be a chance to avoid it.
The MC may be eager to cum inside her but as long as I´m making the call, that will never be a problem.
And the Queen will learn to shut up, I´m afraid. She will probably run her mouth (unless they gag her or do something else) and that will cause a lot of trouble.

(Emphasis mine)

Personally I very much view Stalker as "Basically Batman". His instincts about his environment and the many different societies he has to navigate are so razor sharp that he can accomplish miraculous, almost Stuish feats. But just because he's capable of so many things, doesn't mean he can't get overwhelmed once and a while. And this is just one of those rare times, it seems.

We are pretty much on the same page, even though I don´t see him as Batman. He´s just a guy that is incredibly good at what he does, but a person with flaws like everyone else.

Guys do you fapped a lot? This game is so masterpiece.I feel so tired now. Will we analized queen in the future?

I assume every main girl in the game will eventually get analized.

Did you end the day? After doing a few quests, have to go to sleep to end the day. Some auto events start during sleep. Since there is no timer, it's better to sleep more times than less, so you won't lose out content, though don't know if coded so now, but was possible in older versions to advance past and lose out on events.
If you did sleep and still no quest can be continue, then it's something wrong in your save.

Wasn't there a bug where you had to do the Kyra goes back to Adira quest before another one, or the Kyra quest got broken?

Regarding point 1:

Yeah... Tho now, of course, I realize the kohl-under-eyes tribe probably aren't the Legion.

But yeah..

Shani getting knocked up by ANYBODY is probably a Game Over, either Bad (raped by raiders) or Good (a few scenes of a game-closing montage of her living happily as comfortable, soft-life brood-mare at home, tho w/regrets abt adventues she nvr had).

At this point, either Shani is secretly the real MC, since only she causes Game Overs, or our boy is still the MC, but he has INFINITE plot armor (unless the plot needs him knocked out, like it recently did), as nothing he does is fatal TO HIM. Our Boy puts the A in Alpha.

For a certainty, it looks like Shani must be CRITICAL in the overarching plot of what is ahead, so might be at least as much as the MC as Our Boy, but just way, way, WAAAAAY more fragile than him.

...

Regarding point 2..

Yeah, on that too.

Shani already has a canonical/extant path to go there at the end of 19.2, to avoid baby time, and sadly probably needs to stay an anal slut for her entire life, as she very probably (as you suspected) probably triggers a GO eventually, otherwise. Not enough willpower in the world for her to stay celibate, as we see she burns for MC as hotly as he does for her (at least for now), so she has to do SOMETHING abt it, and her being a backdoor girrl for life sounds likely.

That said, eventually, if MC keeps giving her massages or similar, and she stays such a sound sleeper, he's gonna put it in there. He clearly list control and was going to leave a deposit in her bank during the massage, and even said he was sorry to her, in advance, but she always woke up just in time to derail it

The queen may go there as a habit, as well, to avoid political problems, but Merneith's already potentially been had all the way up in the front, IIRC, so IDK.

The raider girls just like it EVERY which way. Especially Asha. Asha's a veerrry special girl.

 

[TheSalaminizer]

Since this game has a little interest in 'Sharing'(Which is different from cucking, guys.), I could see a scenario where Stalker is offered the opportunity to have Shani knocked up. It only happens with his permission, and possibly only with hers. (Pff.)

I don't know why Zeton would agree to that since Shani needs to be fit to be a Stalker. But y'know how things go, maybe there's a special exception for X reason, or Stalker changes his mind about Shani's life path for Y reason.

They definitely did put in a lot of sharing, at least w Igor, but IDK how far it might go w/Shani, as she's an exception to all rules.

As per convo w/Leinad, the fact that ONLY Shani getting derailed from the main plot (killed or lost forever) causes Game Overs (at least, so far), suggests she is MISSION-CRITICAL to the overall story.

Seems like the writers NEED Shani active and in fighting trim at story's end, so basically need her kept unimpregnated, and so fully intend to keep her front door clean.

So, even tho you can put her in all sorts of danger, she probably CAN'T ever get knocked up **in the course of the game**. Not if you want to complete the game, anyway.

That's seemingly been their angle, so far, tho Shani ALMOST getting knocked up again and again is the biggest tease... They KEEP pushing it right up to the edge, and right up in our faces, with her POTENTIAL motherhood that nvr is...

An exception MIGHT be written in where she gets pregnant and knows it, but the game's planned *story arc* (the bit that *we* get to play in this dystopian drama) ends before she's heavy w/the child(ren), so she can still be an active participant in an action-oriented plot, but just knows babies are coming, and has that coloring her thoughts, feelings, outlooks, and relationships.

But that last bit is HIGHLY SPECULATIVE. So far, the vector has been her baby chute stays clean, no matter how often they torture us and MC w/her dangled hot and ready in front of us.

My daughter is almost like Ain, only without the braids, that's why I love DS. Don't take it literally. English is not my native language.

I lile how the mc is not a young mid 20s or teenager dude who's a chick magnet and knows how to get every women he encounters despite not living that long.
