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

1.

Just gotta accept the fact that no single game can cater to ALL of our desires. I take what works for me and ignore what doesn't, in any given game. If you're really passionate about having things be your way, you need to turn that passion into a creative force and start working on your own project(s). I found that my dissatisfaction with entertainment media was actually an indicator that I need to create art, maybe you'll find that's the case for you too. Godspeed.

This is an excellent point. It's all well and good trying to dictate how someone else's idea should match your own needs.
But far more fruitful and rewarding to invest years in learning the necessary software and skills to create your own thing.

Then get slagged off by someone who wanted your MC to have five penises coming out of their head.

I suppose it's time to give this its own off-topic thread?

Damn... old saves don't work? I really didn't want to start a new game...

With DS, there is enough early reworked/new content where I'm enjoying my restart.

It is a 'richer' world than it was a few revs ago, given the variations on content you can enjoy around the house, for example.

If this was just a total loss of saves due to a major Renpy update, I'd agree.

Cheers!!

upload your favorite screenshot....
I know you got them stashed (perves) LOL

How do you make the file an executable i've never done this before

For Mac you'll want to use Terminal instead. Same concept as Command prompt. Just followed these steps and got the game running myself.

what is the difference between the beta and the current one?

 

[Evil Earthworm Jim]

what is the difference between the beta and the current one?

I'm not an expert; however, I think it's the initial release and then the subsequent bug fixes.

 

[oiks]

Is this complete alread or what? 17.1.1 full. Realese? What's that mean?

 

[Amogotan]

reading the comments are kinda making me scared of updating lol. Is it safe or nah?

It's a beta release. It's not a fully completed game just yet.

Don't worry. Wholesome desert vibes all around

Just make sure to drink from Zahra's bountiful breast milk. That's the true oasis in the desert for sure. Who needs water when you can have her milk, am I right?

I think this whole thing is blown out of proportions
Anyhow, I hope my answer satisfies you because that's all I can provide.



With the somewhat recent Patreon review (and the then-upcoming Steam review) some time ago, that particular scene with the render angles it had could be perceived as risky -for the wrong reasons imho- as it was too early in the game, before we've had a chance to establish characters or settings.
We were a bit uncomfortable about risking our presence on those platforms (and, frankly, the existence of the game) with this small part, so after much discussion we removed it.

Could it make an appearance again in the future? It's likely, but not in the exact form it was.
That's all there is to it. No grand conspiracy or something.

As for the dynamics, I agree it showed them nicely but we do have plenty of other scenes showing it, so the overall feeling is not lost imho.


I personally wasn't deflecting or anything, simply answered to a person that pretty much said "I fear they will slowly remove Ain from the game" that is this not the case.

See above, no excuse or anything, just a fact that adding more renders of Ain is pretty much evidence that we don't plan to remove her or whatever.

And in any case, if we wanted or were forced to remove her entirely, we certainly wouldn't do it 2 renders at a time. That would take ages.

My question is why were some scenes apparently removed entirely? I get why you might have to alter a few scenes from angles or whatever, but I can think of 2 scenes that I've not encountered on this new playthrough (Specifically with Ain), that seem to have just been removed entirely? Sorry if you've answered this already, but why the one where you call Ain over near the beginning of the game, when you are saying hello to Zhara? When she's kneeling and you could call Ain over for a hug? And then a sleeping scene with Ain later on? Given all of the other scenes are still intact with her, that are even kinkier, often involving the same characters, I'm puzzled why those 2 were removed?

To help fly under the patreon radar is the short answer for the first one. For the second, the only sleep events you can do with her is fuggin' her while she's sleeping or waking her up first. Are you talking about the Ain Massage event? If so, I think that got temporarily "commented out"/deactivated (people have said that it is still in the game files) because it's starting to show it's age and the devs didn't want something so raw for the steam release but couldn't find the time to work on it without causing more delays.

 

[Knight of the Dawn]

Is there any new scene compare to 0.17 beta?

 

[Mxiio]

I'm playing this on Steam at the moment and I keep running into an issue where regardless of how many days I skip no quests come up, all of them say to either wait or to progress other quests. Some big brained fellow here might be able to figure out what the issue is I hope.

 

[Stayjazzy]

Is the Ntr gone?

My question is why were some scenes apparently removed entirely? [... Ain scenes ...]

Is there any new scene compare to 0.17 beta?

Some bugs have been fixed, making scenes available that weren't in the beta.

Still, there seem to be some bugs left, so I'd expect a 0.17.2 or something in the near future.

Reportedly (see #21,553 *) 'Ain's massage' is still part of the game's content, but it doesn't seem to trigger in-game. May be a bug to be fixed.

Is the Ntr gone?

There's netori & sharing. (Nothing has changed in that AFAIK.)


* @ a certain cynical adm: oh, hey, handy, now I can point users to that post ... (FYI, answering your questions: I played through the beta, waiting to play again / enjoy at a later point in time. I do love me a good table though! )

 

[SonsOfLiberty]

when is the final?0.17

This is the final update for this version, unless any minor bugs are found and pushed out.

the actual patreon must have every older ver right, like just deep down the timeline somewhere?

I mean Google/Bing/etc exist

It's a beta release. It's not a fully completed game just yet.

It is NOT a beta, this is the release version, the same version you find on Steam.

When I played it the Ntr scenes were gone I think I need a new download
