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

[Larry2000]

ZetanDS Whatever this game is, It definitely peaks my interest. I don't mind dark games that have elements that other don't. I'm a huge Harem fan, but games don't always have to go that way. That said, I do strongly avoid NPC Rape of Love Interests and NTR. Is there gonna be such content in this game? If so, I can safely walk away, but I thought I'd respectfully ask

P.S. Do we need to add an Incest Patch to the game?

 

[Cynicaladm]

Incest is rather normalised in the setting (probably worth adding the tag, when the action actually leads that way)... as is slavery, and might makes right is to some extent, the law of the land. So there will be a fair bit of consensual non consent, or even less than consensual.. in a spoils of war kind of way, as you've seen.
Whether any of the relations that start that way evolve/devolve into something else, remains to be seen

 

[Larry2000]

hey, next update won't have an additional patch. you can decide what certain relations are for yourself. There will be more than enough consensual sex, and as cynicaladm said: spoils of war or sex "because it's your duty" kind of scenes will happen as well; on both sides.

Thanks for the answer. The "both sides" thing is where I draw the line. I get it if the spoils of war are on your side and that's cool, but not NTR stuff. I wish you luck regardless!

Edit: WAIT!?!? I'm confused? You essentially confirm NTR with that answer but there is this I just read:

" 4. Regarding NTR: No NTR planned. You will not lose control in any scenes. Maybe "whoring out" certain girls, but that would be 100% avoidable. Trust me. (Made it short for clarity) "

I'm confused

I think ntr will only happen if you lose the fight

So much for no NTR

 

[wiseold6996]

So much for no NTR

Then don't lose the fight if you hate ntr

 

[Larry2000]

That's not the same as "No NTR". I'm not planning to lose, I'm just saying that's not what was said.

The story seems good, however, from what I have read in the thread it's very possible that I'm not interested.

I guess the game is focused on domination (mainly male), including BDSM and a certain amount of violence (not just in fighting), am I right?

 

[Cynicaladm]

I can confirm that there is no NTR planned.. on principle, the MC is at the top of his foodchain, sexually speaking at least..... we can of course enter into a debate as to what constitutes NTR, as these days there are people who shove a whole lot of things into the NTR label that actually are not it.... but I've written a whole topic (unrelated to this game) about the subject, and I am loathe to repeating myself or dragging that debate in here.
the both sides thing is either a misnomer or refers to something that falls under spoilers (I'm not sure myself, lol)

The story will have a bunch of different storylines and there will be a fair amount of hanky panky, ranging from vanilla to incestuous to bdsm heavy... the MC will be in control of what's happening (and the player with him)...
the listed tags are fairly accurate... and there will be a fair amount of combat, where no punches will be pulled (meaning a decent amount of gore, with occasional options to go easy, or be more violent..which is really up to the player..also, gore can be locked away from the get go, without missing out much.)

Think Mad Max beyond Thunderdome, with sex/kink.,.. and where that could go in such a society...with a bit more worldbuilding and, I hope, complexity.

spoils of war or sex "because it's your duty" kind of scenes will happen as well; on both sides.

The "on both sides" part is still unclear for me, I mean the MC wins a fight and fucks the female enemies no problems with that but what if the MC is accompanied by his daughter and they lose will the daughter be raped by the enemy? Because even if it's not really NTR it will be seen as it by players that don't like that kind of content and by players that don't want to see sex scenes with a guy that is not the MC.

I would personally dislike "both sides" if they really are like this. For me, a rape (done by whoever does it) is worse than any NTR (and I don't like NTR at all)

Somehow I knew you would make that comment.

 

[Cynicaladm]

I would say.. why don't you try the game and, if suddenly a wild penis appears, you can come back here and tell us all about it. I promise, that even if it should, it won't bite... probably.

 

[YogSothoth1982]

Somehow I knew you would make that comment.

I have started the game, and for now I have been able to choose things that I like (not raping the raider girl in the first encounter, or saving the elf by killing both guys, for example) I would actually prefer to keep it that way.

I haven't made much progress, but for now it's entertaining.

 

[Cynicaladm]

good... if gore skeeves you out, you can select to play without it, at the beginning of the game.

Consider that as the game goes on, violence/fights will still be par for the course and on the whole, sex can be rather brutal (but in most occasions, neither sex nor violence need to be the only course of action.).

It's renpy, if you don't like what happens when you lose, roll back and take the winning path. Some of us just like seeing sex, and have no issues with it being a character who isn't the MC. Some of us also like noncon. If a "bad end" involves a girl getting taken instead of just killed, I'm 100% into watching that before going down the other path. Really hope he does put stuff like that in, actually; it would fit the world and there aren't enough games that include that type of material. If the dev puts something in that you don't like, there's no reason for you to complain as long as it's avoidable.

 

[Fred Fred Burger]

Looking through the comments and all I can say is. If the themes/choices in this game aren't for you, simply don't play this game. I'm not sure why people are trying to force or persuade the dev to refrain from putting in elements and themes that the dev wants to include. This is a pretty unique game compared to the hundreds of games out there that are all borderline the same. We finally get something new, and people want to change it to make it just like everything else out there. Again, there's literally hundreds of other games out there for you to play.

So Dev if you end up reading this, I hope you stick with your vision and create the game that you set out to make.
