Shani isn't interested in other people at all except the mc.
And it's beautiful.
Only reason she even started kissing the queen is to manipulate and bring her under the mc and also she is a woman.
Overall, I agree, our Shani is a very smart girl and knows exactly what Zaton needs, so she's capable of doing a lot for us. However, I think her kiss with the Queen herself happened largely under the influence of the moment...Especially if I remember correctly, Shani mentioned that she liked girls a bit when she was in high school. But yeah, later on, she did bring up the idea of corrupting Merneith together.

I doubt there's a single player in this thread who would be genuinely against Shani and Zaton corrupting and fucking the Queen together cuz it's mega hot. We, male players are very loyal to lesbian scenes...And I haven't heard anyone complain about it, hehe. We can discuss sexual encounters with male outsiders (not MC) and have polar opinions on the subject, but as far as lesbian content (or threesome content with MC and two women) goes, I think there is a general consensus. (and this doesn't just apply to DS)
If we asked her to stop she would immediately do so without question.
Absolutely.
She isn't going to suddenly start to hoe around with all and sundry
Yeah, Shani is a serious and thoughtful girl and she clearly doesn't look like an adventurous and winded girl like Nadia. So I think you're right, and she's not going to "fuck everyone left and right".

quest bugs

lirah's quest on duty path cannot be completed (day16.rpy l:3605):
Python:
                    if sq_l_1.current_step == 10:
                        $ sq_l_1.complete()
this is clearly a copy/pasta -> 10 is the last step for the freedom path, the actual step here is 14 when you reach this point on duty path
i dont see the point to check the current_step in that case unlike for advance(), just go for "if not sq_l_1.completed:" or "if sq_l_1.active:" instead


Known issues:
  • The quest "Courting the crown" might appear bugged in the quest log if players haven't romanced the queen
in day 18 (palace.rpy l:644) the queen's quest reaches a dead-end if you're not on her path, all the auto-events for the following steps cannot happen and you're left hanging with no update
the resolution here is properly sets, now there is a problem with the quest log's code because i assume that was only meant for completed quest:
-> if the current objective has a description it takes priority over the resolution (see quest_log.rpy l:72), so thats why no update is occuring here:
Python:
        if sq_q_1.current_step == 2:
            $ sq_q_1.advance()
            $ sq_q_1.resolution = _("The Queen and I talked about Sharifa, and that she is planning her revenge on her.")
adding this should fix what im stating:
Python:
            if len(sq_q_1.objectives) >= sq_q_1.current_step:
                $ sq_q_1.objectives[sq_q_1.current_step - 1].description = ""
now the task message is still going to say "Rest for today" but again nothing else can happen in the current game content
the "To be continued..." message only shows up if the current_step is ahead of the number of objectives available -> there is no way around this without losing track of the current step and you dont want to do that
so you could also add this for the sake of making sence:
Python:
                $ sq_q_1.objectives[sq_q_1.current_step - 1].unavailable_message = _("To be continued...")

other bugs

at the end of day6b event where you get the new car, you've a talk with shani to set a flag, but they're all already turned on by default (afaik those aren't used anywhere anyway):
Python:
default d6b_zeta_strong = True
default d6b_zeta_allies = True
default d6b_zeta_weak = True
about the day 18: the event flag "m_d18f" isn't defined in "01_variables.rpy"


some random typos

in day15.rpy l:893 - probably want to replace "dad" by [persistent.dad] (mentor):
Code:
        Na "Did you ever take your dad's load like this, I wonder...?"
in palace.rpy l:94 - cool, coocoocool:
Code:
            Q "If you don't mind, I'll have my guards escortcort you to the chambers."
in day16.rpy l:2239 - pretty sure that line was meant for mc:
Code:
                        Li "First, I want you to cum for me."
in day18.rpy l:4420 - if you've the option to call yourself "You" enabled this line is plain stupid, should directly put [persistent.player_name] instead of [Z] here:
Code:
    W "It is indeed. To what does the House of [Z] owe a visit of the Palace guards?"
same file at l:5854 there is the exact same line on the other path but with everything:
Code:
        "It dawns you that the choice you're making is potentially going to change verything."
d18b l:299 the first line was probably meant for khalil:
Code:
    Z "Stalker [persistent.player_name]..."
    Z "Legate Khalil. <...>

Looks like the Queen has become comfortable enough to not worry too much about her dress code... Either way, she's going to give us directives on where to head specifically. And then we’re off again - leaving her alone in her golden castle.

Also, here's some previews for the leftover parts from last update's rework.

Hope you had a nice weekend, thank you as always for the patience during the dev log weeks ;)

- Shani enters the bath: 75%
I would like to believe that in the first screenshot on the left is Shani (the profile of the face is blurred, and it's not too clear who it really is). But mentally I can already see how this beautiful robe with a slight rustle slips from the Queen's chiseled body, and her graceful legs are tantalizingly spread, showing that she is ready for any experiments. Then Shani puts a collar and leash on her Shani and Merneith head to the Royal thermae, and that's when the fun begins.

Stan, stop daydreaming, maybe it's a different "bath"!
Oh, shut up and don't ruin my hope! :p

Shani can choose what she likes (within reason) cuz that's what the dev decided to do, creating a confident girl with a certain degree of autonomy. However, let's not forget that the MC in this game is not Shani, but Zaton. Yes, I don't mind Shani continuing to demonstrate her assertiveness within reasonable limits. Plus, she has mastered her father's dangerous profession, a profession that imposes a number of unspoken obligations on a person, such as self-confidence, assertiveness, boldness, and so on).

However, I want to note that this is not a game with a female protagonist, so the fact that the dev has kindly given players the opportunity to “be in the skin a bit" of Shani, I consider simply as a pleasant bonus and interesting game experience, and not as some kind of obligation of the dev to make all the future content to please those players who suddenly decided that Shani should be the second full-fledged MC in a harem male game.
Not once did I forget the MC is Zaton. But if you make Shani go the same professional route as the MC, she should be able to do the same things he does. Including sexually. Now, I´m not saying she should start sucking and fucking to get out of trouble when she´s out on her stalker expeditions, but since most stalkers are men, she could use her hotness and looks to get the upper hand. We see this when we play as her, there´s a scene where she let´s the other raider have a little feel of her body to have him let his guard down.
Regardless of this, every decision in this game is always up to Zaton/us, so even if there was a scene where Shani wanted to something sexual, Zaton will always have the last word. It was like that during the bath scene with the Queen, where Shani came up with the idea and it was up to Zaton to go forward with it or not.

Absolutely right and I'm one of the players who thinks so. Although, for all that, I am well aware that sharing in Desert Stalker is strikingly different from most other games and here it is presented not as an act of weakness, but as a gesture of a strong-willed "Master of life" (MC), so confident in his abilities that he can share someone close to him with others close to him. However, it's still not my cup of tea..:whistle::coffee:..Anyway, as long as sharing remains optional (and according to the mod in the dev discord, it will be), I can live with it.
I don´t really look at sharing they way you and at lot of people here do. I don´t self insert, so for me it´s not like I´m the one sharing, the MC is. That said, the way I see sharing is just a way for me to move the characters around like pieces in a chessboard. It´s like I´m watching a group of people fucking in front of me and I decide who and how they gonna fuck next. Having a scene with the MC and Igor, for instance, allows me to do that.
And I agree that all of this should always be optional. If the player wants it, it´s there. If not, you can just skip it.

I remember that when Shani was on an adventure alone, her breasts were touched by an enemy in an abandoned building. So in the future, if Shani has any intimate interactions with other male characters, I think it will also be quite normal.

When a female octopus is hungry and doesn't want to mate, she'll let him insert his mating arm, and then she'll strangle/kill him to feast on his corpse in her den for a few days.
