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

[Machete]

Just curious if the next update is coming soon. I really enjoy this game.

It has been some time by now, so i guess there will be an update before the end of the year, earlier than later.

 

[Machete]

Friend's or a genetic mutation on the part of Zaton, perhaps?

Zaton activates Tentacle Rape Mutation Attack: It's super effective!!

 

[Nulldev]

You fuck her/she fucks you. Same shit. You are fucking a snake

It's called interspecies erotica

Oh I thought it was a case of "Reptilofila" but ok totally fine for me

 

[Leinad_Sevla]

LoL, no I was thinking that if Zaton got some genetic mutation somehow and grew 18 dicks, he wouldn't need any friends of his to help him out with all of the sexy potholes around him that require some filling

Well, I hope not. I would rather have Omar be in a sex scene than have anything resembling tentacles in this game.

Igor
Omar
New fear unlocked: Tentacle monsters

Imagine if they had a base under Zaton house

Ancient Egyptian tentacle alien apocalypse in Zeta

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

 

[X|Mortis]

Hope for sooner, expect the latter.

Yeah the usual status quo for game dev release dates from time to time

Or the Desert Golfcourse they sum up 18 holes in total.....

18+ holes only. Of course.

If it wasn´t for the Steam release and all the reworks, it would probably be October. But November seems like the mot likely right now.

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.

 

[X|Mortis]

Well, if anything, we have 'Bond Girl Shani' to entertain us while we all wait ever so patiently for V0.17 to drop

Just curious why is he reworking

 

[RX-9/C]

Just curious why is he reworking

To update the graphics before releasing on Steam

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.

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.
