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

[ThorinKing]

Hey guys, I downloaded the game and about to play it but before that do I need a walkthrough to play it properly or not?
Because I usually play VN games.

It is it's own walkthrough. It's a quest style VN and it tells you what you need to do to move on and gives indicators of where the essential tasks need to be done. There's a tutorial at the beginning - not very difficult.

Has a quest list as well as the visual indicators. There are also recurring events that sometimes are just to pass the time, but that can lead to essential tasks as well.

This game is one of the best VNs I have tried!
The story is intriguing, interesting and well written.
The characters, outside the family, bring something constructive and we can't wait to know more. I understand the high rating of this game because it is one of the few on the site which, for me, are among the excellent titles with Eternum.
A game that I highly recommend to anyone who wants to go a little further than the harem of the house/family.

Now, for the section "stupid nerd doubts a dude can have": What is it supposed to be the weather in post apocalyptic Egypt like?

I mean, never been in Egypt myself but as far as i know weather is hot and dry, which is a lot better and more comfortable then hot and dump, so being close to naked should feel good. Yet i'm quite positive that venturing in the desert with your skin exposed is more on the suicidal territory.

So i was considering, MC is all the time chest naked, with a cape which is more of decorative most of the time but i believe it comes quite in hand when wind blows sand, and he has his bald head out all the time.

Now, sorry to disappoint Danny Trejo, but in real life i'm as bald as fuck myself and i promise direct sun on a bald head is an issue. Summertime is baseball cap time for me.

My 2 cents on that is that the weather in the game is still summer type of hot. Everyone wear very light and revealing clothes and they seem to be comfortable all the time, that works well with the hot dry Egypt, yet, no one seems to be concerned by Sun light in the slightest. So, maybe the sky is cloudy all the time? More of dust clouds than rain clouds? In opposition to the obviously thunderous clouds of the zones?

And they were all deceived... as this VN is based in Arrakis... The Spice will save this world..

Arrakis (/əˈrɑːkɪs/)—informally known as Dune and later called Rakis—is a desert planet featured in the Dune series of novels by Frank Herbert.

I brought up a similar point in the Hot Sand of Antarctica thread LMAO. (That one has an even looser take on environmental factors, since, in a polar setting, the sunlight patterns etc. would be vastly different from what’s portrayed in the game.)

Realistically, people would be wearing a lot more clothing. I know it’s all about the rule of sexy, but there are plenty of ways head coverings etc. can be worn that are still pretty—it doesn’t have to be a burqa (which, even then, just because people dress up to go out into the sun doesn’t mean we won’t have ample time to see them uncovered once indoors).

This game needs to have more frequent updates, it's just too damn good!

Very easy:

Good quality takes time!
Top quality needs even more time!!!

So practice patience...

Good points, but interestingly, it seems that in ancient Egypt, actually people didn't wear a lot of clothing.

Most men were depicted wearing light skirts only and are often (shaved) bald. Women wore dresses which left the breasts uncovered.

In modern Egypt, things are rather different now.

If you read about it, there were a lot of minor ice ages and climate fluctuation. You can go into the Sahara desert 100 km and find stone carvings about rivers and animals. The apocalypse that ruined the civilization could change weather too.

Unfortunately, that is the truth.

Now, that's an hell of an argument, i didn't think about it Congratulation, i totally conceed on this one.

But now i'm even more curious. Ok, covering head might be a habit Egypt imported with the Arab conquest and it might be a far more mediterrean country that i think. I should really investigate the topic.

 

[Machete]

Unfortunately, that is the truth.

And actually this game kept so far a rather fast and steady pace. But who wouldn't want more and more of it?

Social class might play a part too. The peasants at the top aren’t wearing much, but the pharaoh seems dressed up; maybe the raider girls would run around half-naked, but Ain wouldn’t.

Also, unless I’m mistaken, I think ancient Egypt was less desert-like than today. Around that time,

Was going to say this too. Pretty sure most of those people in those depictions were probably slaves or servants

I tried this one a while back and stopped (at the first sex scene, with the raider woman?), but I'd love to give it another shot! Just got a couple of questions before I really dive in:

1. Are the sex scenes just 'NEXT POSE -> NEXT POSE -> CUM' for the whole game, or do they improve? I just hate that format, no word on whether the girl is cumming or further details about the scene.

EDIT: I mixed this game up with another, ignore that question.

2. Does the game actually make use of the Egypt setting? Like, in the sense of culture, religion? Or is it just a 'generic' desert wasteland claiming to be based on Egypt?

I'd really appreciate any answers!

1. A lot of sex scenes have dialogue throughout (including women calling out their orgasms), so I’m not sure what you’re referring to when you say it’s just one pose after the next and you can’t even tell when the girls come. They don’t have epileptic seizures like in NLT games, that’s for certain.
2. The game draws some inspiration from Egyptian motifs, but it doesn’t take place in “Egypt” per se. There’s attention given to world-building elements such as religion and culture, weather, etc., but a lot of it is made-up.
