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

[duckydoodoo]

Why does this get compared to ancient Egypt culture? It's in the future. Society would be formed from today's Egypt, or tomorrow's.

a virgin post apocalypse civilization seeing that their ancestors put so much stock into ancient egypt are more likely to emulate ancient egypt over contemporary.

but i dont think thats the reason. i think its because 2 reasons,

1 its a cooler story this way.
2 because as we have learned Zetan's elders and true rulers have been using ancient egypt customs as a way to control the masses. earth history has taught us, religion is the quickest way to turn people into cattle and docile beasts of burden.

Zetan society is pretty much a carbon copy of ancient Egypt, including architecture and objects used by their citizens. They banned technology so going back to the past is intentional.

If the queen was in a mosque, or in an office building, you could say it's based on modern Egypt but she is in an ancient Egypt styled temple, dressed like an ancient Egypt queen, and the city streets are also styled like that etc...

Because their society is based on pseudo-pharaonic culture. Look at the clothing, architecture, weapons, & art. Even the colloseum reflects Roman conquest of pre-modern Egypt. Rather than a dynastic structure, the queen seems to be selected by council. I'm guessing here, but suspect they use something like omens to make the selection like Buddhists do to select the next Dalai Lama.

All valid points. But I meant more of the discussions in the forums about authenticity that ignores the thousands of years before the apocalypse and the 400(?) years since. Even modeling on the ancient times there will be changes. But, maybe I've misunderstood the discussions as complaints of inconsistency as opposed to just fun facts.

v0.19.0 Beta

• New content (~1,600 renders):
• A new big event chain where Shani & the MC go on a mission together, consisting of 6 parts
• Asha as a post-raid reward
• Shani / MC in the bathroom
• Kyra at the watchtower
• Solo Fairy living room scene (only for good / neutral path)
• Solo Kateryna living room scene
• Chili at the gym

In the changelog to v0.19 it says there is a scene labeled as "Asha as a post-raid reward" - is this referring to the one where you can give her to the group of raiders after talking to Kyra in the highway-overpass settlement?

Or does it refer to a scene added in earlier game before v0.19 content?

Or is it an additional scene? Because I cannot find another new one for her...

Yes this is the scene.

 

[Sunlight1]

Yes this is the scene.

Zetan chose a weird phrasing for that one then... [Edit: ah, actually fits. my mistake.]

Thank you very much, kind man.

Wish you a good day.

For those of you who need it: New Save, should be roughly at 0.19 (shortly before starting the temple search with Shani and Neith)

Mutants Path: Mantis with Mutants
Fairy Path: Healing ("best" one)
Settlment Path: supporting
Shani: Romanced and on "help" - Reyna alive

I restarted the game on 19.3 and finished on 19.4, so there should be no compability issues. Gallery is fully unlocked (not sure that transfers tho)

 

[Leinad_Sevla]

What is the overal progress of the game full development? Are we at least half way there?

As far as I remember, the last time that was talked about, I think it was said the game´s story was about 40% done. So plenty more to still go.

guys. last time I played this was 2 years or so ago. I see it was released on steam, and I have a question: was any of the content censored or removed during these past couple years due to steam publishing? or is it clean?

To my knowledge, for the most part nothing was censored or removed. The only exception were a few images at the start of the game, where originally Ain walks up to the MC while he is getting a BJ from Zahra, and that was removed.

As others mentioned, it was mostly just an introductory scene where Ain interacted with Zaton and Zahra during their BJ scene.

Apart from that, nothing much else was censored, AFAIK
