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

[Ebonheart (FR)]

I can't find it on the options anymore like I remembered. Was it moved inside the game?

I’m not entirely sure what your issue is in this situation, so could you please clarify ? Which game settings are you trying to adjust ? Options like gore, forceplay, and sharing can be changed both when starting a game and from the options menu, and you can adjust them anytime.

Moreover, if you want to edit or modify relationships, you’ll need to either start a game and wait for the dialogue that lets you update names and relationship statuses, or right-click during gameplay, look to the left for “Edit Relationships,” click on it, select each relationship/name you want to change, make your edits, and press Enter to confirm.

Thanks for mentioning me, but can we talk about what surprise me in your screenshot ? You called your MC 'Cayzee,' just why ?

What does that mean in french ? it is phonetic a variation of K C in english,

On the topic of incest what were the character's relationship with his "protégé" originally? Was she his daughter?

You could set the relationship by yourself from the start, don't even remember what she was in the first Update of the game.

i just put slut for it on all relationship.

What does that mean in french ? it is phonetic a variation of K C in english,

I thought you might be referring to a DJ since that was the first result I found online, but otherwise, this word doesn’t really have much meaning. The way it’s pronounced in English doesn’t really translate to anything specific in French, and "KC" could just be initials for a name or some kind of abbreviation.

That said, the sound of "KC" might resemble a French word, "cassé," which literally means "broken" or "smashed." In French slang, though, "cassé" is often used more figuratively, meaning to shut someone up, defeat them, or dominate them in a verbal contest.

For example, it can be used in phrases like "Oh mec, regarde comme je t’ai cassé, tu sais même plus quoi dire maintenant, hein ?" ("Oh man, look at how I’ve shut you down, you don’t even know what to say anymore, huh ?") x)

As Xapican said, you can freely adjust and change the relationships between your MC and the members of his household/family at any point during the game.

With or without a number for each, they should still be identifiable at least a bit, don’t you think ? ^^

 

[xapican]

Ebonheart (FR) ; it is a reference to K.C. and the sunshine band

In USA they often use it for "Kansas City" and there are baseball caps with KC on them as I was about 13 I bought one ( with my first self earned money) and used it for years (don't remember if I ever took it off for sleep ) and got the nickname KC from my friends

 

[Yngling]

My thoughts exactly. I want to see all of them get knocked up not watch MC play in the chocolate factory in a setting where bathing is a luxury.

You can probably wash your dick with sand...

Does Zaton look like a Chinchilla to you?!

 

[Leinad_Sevla]

Alright, if that’s your take on it, everyone is of course entitled to their own perspective. I might consider revisiting Mad Max, particularly these older movies, to see if there are any real similarities with the Decayed.

I share the same view on this second point. It’s hard to imagine fuel coming from another source for now, unless the game reveals other possibilities.

This subject is not entirely clear, but here is what we know based on the game’s revelations :

The harsh conditions in the heart of Old Cairo can alter humans who stay there for extended periods or venture into similarly dangerous areas.

One of the Decayed that Zaton encounters at their base speaks about ‘turning’ captive prisoners. While the exact process remains unclear, it seems possible to transform certain individuals. I suppose, however, that not everyone survives this transformation.

I recall Ivy/Yuna, mentioning in one of her journal entries that some people returned from the forbidden area of Old Cairo after spending too much time there, having undergone a change. She suggested that these explorers, or these reckless ones, became the first Decayed, a term that would not be widely recognized until much later.

I was referring more to the development of slaughterhouses as part of an industrial process set up to sustain the Decayed population, rather than a method for diversifying their diet. In reality, they can’t change their ways. Nothing grows in Old Cairo, and no animal can survive such harsh and scarce conditions for long.

Abrax describes it as a necessity when he and Zaton discuss cannibalism during their first meeting. It is likely that the Decayed have embraced this form of sustenance as part of their culture, and many of their customs could revolve around it. They sometimes speak of captive pits and offerings of meat from their prisoners to their leaders.

The Elders, not senators, wield influence roughly equal to that of Queen Merneith / These Elders also appoint each new queen / Merneith also mentions that the Elders educated her and prepared her for the role she must play as sovereign / It is known that one Elder also serves as a general in the army / The clergy might also command considerable influence / The queen is powerful but does not rule unchecked. Counterbalances and rival centers of authority exist that can challenge her position. The Elders appear to be a crucial secondary power. The queen cannot dismiss them lightly, as they enjoy a status in Zeta comparable to her own. / Contrary to what you imply, I also believe public opinion, or at least the general mood of the population, still matters.

Only Ivy might know more, though she explains that her race of mutants, known as Elves, likely emerged sometime afterward, in early days following the rise of the post-apocalyptic world and the collapse of the previous civilization. She and her people witnessed the first desert dwellers, early human tribes living near the ruins of Old Cairo, wastelanders, first settlers of what would later become Zeta, first appearances of the Decayed, and, long after her own kind vanished, new generations of mutants quite different from the Elves emerged and now constitute the majority of mutants in the world of DS.

Her accounts are brief and fragmented. She also tells Zaton that she does not fully understand the world around her, having often kept her distance out of fear and the need to survive in hiding. It remains unclear whether this timeline spans centuries or even millennia. Eventually, Ivy herself stopped keeping count.

Shani’s tendency to rush things or to have an immediately active sexuality can easily be seen as the behavior of someone who spent a long time repressing her desires and needs, only to suddenly experience a sense of unrestrained freedom.

Since her first time with Zaton, it seems like a barrier broke, and she now feels more at liberty to explore and fulfill her desires. Although Shani may have felt attracted to the queen from their very first meeting, she chooses not to take things further without Zaton’s approval. In fact, she discusses her feelings for Queen Merneith with him after their encounter.

People in Zeta are well aware of Zaton’s regular presence at the palace. In fact, one of the palace guards at the entrance, who is casually involved with Zaton, mentioned that a rumor circulates in the city about the relationship between the queen and him. Many already suspect or imagine that they have an affair.

However, I doubt Zaton will end up moving to the palace full time. He seems attached to the house he has built and expanded over the years with his wife Zahra and their household. If he were to move, it would only fuel rumors further, and it would be difficult for the queen to justify him living nearby without causing trouble. This is especially true given the stress she appears to feel about their intimate proximity being publicly perceived, considering that such a relationship is taboo and forbidden for someone of her status.

Ain will likely remain with the family in the house unless Zaton eventually arranges her marriage to the young man who has taken a liking to her. This choice will probably be left to the player, who can decide whether or not to pursue that relationship. Ain has clearly expressed on several occasions her wish to stay within the family. Likewise, I do not think Shani, even if she wishes to succeed her father one day, would want to leave and abandon her family.

I believe it is a combination of both considerations, as one does not exclude the other. Ain has never hidden that she did not want to follow in her father’s footsteps. On the other hand, Shani has always been closer to him and has looked up to him as a role model. Being the eldest, she also traditionally has a stronger chance of becoming head of the family and inheriting the family’s assets later on. These two reasons are mentioned and brought up throughout the game.

I was thinking about Sharifa, the guard that the Queen arrested in her dungeon.
There is a possibility to make this a punishment scene like the one with Ain.
Since Sharifa doesn´t seem to mind being hurt physically, as she probably thinks its deserved for betraying the Queen and also that she can show she still is loyal and loves her, the punishment must be emotional. She always hated seeing Zaton with the Queen, so what better punishment than having to watch the person she hates fuck the person she loves? As an extra, the Dev could even make Zaton have his fun with Sharifa.
In the end, we could either end her suffering and kill her or set her free and let her live in disgrace.

For this to occur, I imagine the Queen would have to formally get Zaton approved as a lover like she mentioned first. Unless you plan to kill her for sure, I don't see her revealing that they're lovers to Sharifa if she could report that to anyone and cause problems.

that would be satisfying as a player, but that wouldnt satisfy the queen. the queen would need to see the discomfort humiliation and torment in sharifas eyes to be fulfilled. also the queen is sadistic, so it would have to be more drawn out and sinister. like tricking sharifa into being bred solely by zaton and having to raise the child. tricking her into thinking if she complies and does so happily she might be forgiven, and then when sharifa finally has a baby she can finally be rewarded by being allowed to wet nurse the queen and zatons love child along side her zatons. sharifa will remain a slave for life, but her mind twisted and sick would totally get off on breast feedings the queens child and knowing that her baby and the queens were siblings. to the point she breaks and even begins idolizing zaton... like i said the queen is a sadist, it cant be just enough for her friend that betrayed her to be hurt and humiliated, she needs to be broken in a way that when the queen sees her again, she no longer feels the betrayal, basically make her someone or something else.

probably wouldnt work well for the player, cause i honestly wouldnt want to have MC make babies with sharifa, be like impregnating a wrinkled sand bag. something i imagine would be both painful and shameful. but a complete mind fuck is way more the queens style for such a close friends betrayal. especially since it was her only friend til shani.

That´s too much. The disgust on Sharifa´s face seeing the Queen get fucked by Zaton or even being fucked by him would be enough, at least for me. No need for all of that. The Queen might be a sadist, but she seems to want more the instant gratification. We see it everytime she kills or tortures somebody, she does things in the moment, she doesn´t save it for later.
And even the sadist thing, it seems more like a thing she has to be than something she actually likes.

I hope not. That's always a waste of time and money in AVNs for me. I can't think of a single one where I haven't turned it off.

100% agree with bro
