Here’s something a little different! I took a break from the usual story scene with Shani and used the time to add a new bunker member to the gym - along with some other cute-sized content additions. We're now at around 1,000 new renders for this update, so I think we’re in a really good place

I won't ever get tired of saying this, but thank you for your continued support. Being able to work on each update without pressure means everything to us. I (and we, at this point - even better) can add content to what was planned without having to stick to a fixed deadline. You're the reason all of this - and everything still to come - is possible. And there are some exciting things on the way, including something I’ve hired a more professional team for... but I won’t spoil the surprise just yet. Let’s see if we can get everything under the hood and ready for 0.19 first.

Render progress:
- MC & Queen short visit: 100%
- Shani visits Mandisa: 100%
- Mission briefing with the Queen: 100%
- Shani & MC on a mission: 60%
- Shani enters the bath: 100%
- Chili at the gym: 100%
- Post-raid rewards: 75%

- Fairy solo: 90%

Other:
- New Visit Zahra renders: 70%
- Room visit variations: 100%
- Various polishing: 80%

Script writing: 0%
Animations: 15%

Sound track ? Cutscenes ? Translations ?

Than death it is.


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 believe we’re more likely to take part in a simple (edit) scene of torture and/or humiliation in Sharifa’s case. I doubt things would escalate to her death, as I don’t think the queen would want that. She appeared upset by Sharifa’s lies, particularly regarding a guard who was falsely accused of misconduct.

In reality, it was a trap set by Sharifa. Yet, despite everything, Queen Merneith still appears to care for Sharifa, and the feeling seems mutual here. Sharifa acted out of both ambition and affection, hoping to eliminate rivals and win Merneith’s favor and love.

Just kidding, i'm sure they'll give us top notch content as usual

Based on the devlog's teasing, I’d say it’s more likely to be music artists or professional animators working on cutscenes and animations for this game. Because proofreaders and/or translators wouldn’t have the same wow effect here ! x)

Looking forward to updates! This game is fire. I don’t really like sandbox-type games, but the flow in this one really matches, and you don’t get bored like in some games...

I was looking through the forum and saw so many people complaining about the swinging theme, I really don’t get it. Personally, I really really really don’t like NTR/swinging games, they give me bad feelings due to some irl traumas. But you know what I did? It’s simple: I avoid them.

Right in the game’s menu, you have the option to remove this theme from your gameplay. And even if you don’t disable it, the choice is yours whether to share any of the heroines or not. It doesn’t make sense to complain. I don’t like it, but I know many people do, and I’m in no position to criticize anyone for their preferences.

Chill, guys

More Nadia next (after this update), please !
Nadia armee, Rise up!

Well, it feels like it could be a missed opportunity for some kinky action, it´s all I´m saying.

Why is that ? I said we would probably take part in it as players, unless the game handles it differently, such as having us as mere spectators or off-screen. I used “simple” there to add nuance or to rule out more extreme options.

I think that for Sharifa, we might get a scene somewhat similar to the one with the agitator who was imprisoned for publicly insulting the queen, or the one with the guard who disrespected Zaton. It would probably be in the same spirit as one of those situations.

I thought you meant a scene with actually just torture.
I wouldn´t mind a scene like those you described, but I still would prefer something where Zaton can participate more instead of just watching the Queen do whatever she wants to do.

Whatever role the queen gives Zaton to mess with Sharifa in a fun way, I’m down for it. ^^ We’ll see what the game throws our way, but I’m sure it’ll be a good time.

What I really want is for Zaton to mess with the Queen in front of Sharifa. The rest is a bonus.

Just wanted to to comment that this is one of the best games on here, consistently high quality, attractive characters, interesting plot. Only downside is that, despite the updates being good, they always feel never enough. Nice problem to have. Looking forward to the next version.

Another downside is that I quite literally cannot enjoy other games as much because of how good Desert Stalker is. Not only does it have some of my favorite sexual content categories, but it's also the most immersive experience I've had in an adult game.

but it's also the most immersive experience I've had in an adult game

That's the very same reason why DS pulled me in so much when I first started playing the game around two years ago to this day.

The characterizations, immersive plot, world-building ambience, music, rich lore, and a plethora of other elements make the setting of DS that much more enticing. So much so, that after each and every update, I'm always on the edge of my seat, wanting to know more of what's gonna come next in future releases

What’s great about DS is how much it has to offer, from the lewd content and rich lore to the stunning visuals and captivating music. It gives you that thrilling feeling of being immersed in a world that’s both exotic and intriguing, with deep themes and high stakes. It’s easily one of the best, if not the most complete, game in the genre, with the story and universe being what truly draw me in.

Came for the booba, stayed for the writing (and the big boobas)

I can't think of a game I look more forward to playing. I think Stratego is a close second.

That's true, your point is so based here man ! haha
