Spoiler: Update 0.10a

I'm confused about the bolded parts... especially the first part
did you get access to the bunker? or are we talking about the raiders? did you see the entirety of the scenes introduced in the update?

as for the rest... Shani's quest is part of the main storyline (that's how it's envisioned, at least)... as is Z's attempt at creating and strengthening alliances with the various factions (and yes, this happens through side missions).

What is it you consider the main storyline?

as for what the focus of an update is.. that really depends on how long it takes to make the different scenes. ideally, I guess we would like to complete a mission for each faction and have character and familial plots develop also.. but there's only so much that can be done if we want to keep releases in a marketable timeframe.
progression is somewhat linear, but can't be made at the same time on each of the branches in which the plot develops, or we would try and do just that.... but you'd get an update every 6 months, or more.

Are those "reworks and revisions" in the changelog worth reaplaying for or should I just keep my save? Honestly I thought all the previous scenes were good so I'm not sure what was there to redo there.

 

[Hildegardt]

I appreciate the oldschol RPG style choices during the raider quest, but in the end I was a little confused what the objective was supposed to be. At first I thought I had to try to appease Kyra, so she doesn't raze the settlement, but after playing through the quest twice to see all the options I realized that it wasn't actually that complicated. All the choices correspond to the fate of the individuals only, not the fate of the whole settlement or the raiders.
It's weird that all the things you decide for the settlers simply happen. Like, why would Kyra care about building a hut for a random dude and bringing tools and water pumps to the place she only wanted to pillage? The raiders aren't opposed to using a nugget person as a battering ram, but then suddenly play nice with the totally defenceless settlers.
I thought I had to get the settlers to work somehow to make the place more attractive to Kyra, but it turns out you can just be as good or bad to the them as you want, simply out of principle or for fun.



Also, this line from the changelog seems to not be true?

- Converted all images to webp, significantly reducing package size

visual quality or revised parts due to narration clean up, mostly

Oof.. I really like the game and looking at the latest pages seems to indicate this update is smaller than previous ones (porn wise). Well i've waited for quite sometime already what is a few more months then, have fun and good luck Dev.

You're basing your perception of the update based on a couple of comments, some of which might have missed out on content based on their choices and one of which the poster himself said was misinterpreted.

I would say try it for yourself maybe. Or not. Up to you.

MC is just a raider, MC is not the queen, not the ruler of any faction.
He has battle hardened allies who he keeps in the dark about his missions.
MC is just one man, like batman or night own or dick grayson.
Makes perfect sense he can only help this or that person.

Nothing major then? I think I will keep my save.

 

[EternalXV]

Every update Im excited and i check the change log just hoping to see "added sound effects to the sex scenes".. Doesnt look like this is the time but ill keep waiting.

I haven't unlocked ANY of the "Raiders" scenes on my primary save, I killed the first chick right at the beginning, and didn't bring the other one (Asha) home. So, I suppose I just played that wrong at the start? That is like, first 5 minutes stuff.

As for the General scenes, I liked that stuff, but it wasn't really much content. Also, based on what I am reading here, I might have encountered a bug or something related to Shani's zone entry. After I loaded up my save from 0.09c on the 0.10a build, I didn't have ANY content with Shani, other than her being mentioned at the dining room encounter. All my quests now have the tag "To be continued", and no exclamation marks on any buttons. To answer your question, I guess I would consider main story line content to be family-based stuff with direct queen tie-ins, since the MC is loyal to her kingdom, after all.

 

[Hildegardt]

No, he's not.

He has battle hardened allies who he keeps in the dark about his missions.

No, he doesn't.

MC is just one man, like batman or night own or dick grayson.

My point is rather that there's no dilemma attached to helping people in this savage, post apocalyptic world, if the violent raiders are ready to build a shack for some random dude simply because you say so.

 

[MSNlover95]

does the update have any bugs?

in it the "Sleep with Ain" scene:

1. home.rpy using "ain_awake" on it the line 295 but it the rest of code are mentioning "sa_awake" instead
2. "if sa_awake == True:" after it the "Cum inside" option missing it the indentation after
3. "Cum inside" missing "else" for it the "sa_awake == False:"

in short it the "Sleep with Ain" scene are need recode (1., 2.) and adding it the missing dialogue for sleeping creampie (3.)

A lot of pretty hot scenes in this one and the hive girl is with the mutants. Shani's event seems interesting.

The main story line is about the future of Zeta and the role the Stalker will play in it, the rest stories about raiders and mutants are side stories that will have an influence on the main story later on and you as player can chose what faction of this will have and based on that, you can shape how the main story goes, so they are connected with the main story and it's a part of it.

Or you can just keep being loyal to the terrible violent Queen if you chose to.

At least that's how i see it myself, so i don't understand what are you confused about because it's pretty clear to me how things are working.

The game is totally not linear because you can choose how the main story will go, it depends entirely on you the path of the main story.

 

[NathanD7]

Ayo, anyone got that patch? We need some update patch for people that already have the game downloaded.

my bad.. I meant to say that the development of the game is linear, in that we try to develop the various plotlines chapter by chapter, roughly keeping them going at the same time, rather than, say, run the entirety of Shani's mission , or the entirety of the content for the Raiders, first... and then move on to develop the other parts.
I am of course aware about the fact that the plot itself is not linear.
I was enquiring about the comments to understand how the update could be reduced to 10 minutes of playtime.

Делал по наитию. Исправил ошибку во время сна с Захрой и Айн. А так же вернул недостающее фото в гареме с Ан (соло. + добавил от себя).
I did it on a whim. Fixed a bug while sleeping with Zahra and Ain. And also returned the missing photo in the harem with An (solo. + added from myself).

(updated)
- Исправил свою ошибку. Теперь Ain не просыпается.
- Corrected my mistake. Now Ain doesn't wake up.

ok.. that makes sense.. yes, by not bringing Kyra home, you have basically locked the raiders faction (and you've been missing out on content across at least a couple of updates)...

as for Shani.. there should be a button on the home menu, switching you to see her Zone mission.. mid-to-top of the screen on the right, if memory serves me well...

is there any faeri content past besides giving her food and treating her gently?
