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

[Mortarion]

Please add sound effects to the H scenes

Please not, nothing is more annoying as fapping noises and mindless moaning. Next thing is, close to no dev has a sense of volume, headphone users just get thier ears blown away. In such chases i always hit the mute button on my keyboard instantly and keep it so if i play the game again. That would be a shame, because some games improved with good amience sound and top background music.

No. Just giving her opinion from her in game personal point of view, as a character who lives and breathes. It has no bearing on you as a player in terms of missing content or locking something.
We try to make a game that doesn't have wrong choices, just alternatives. (The exception being the few instances in early releases in which your choices may lock access to factions... But those are clearly signposted).
There is never going to be a meta situation where a character in game is going to address you the player, not even obliquely, to tell you you done fucked up.

Sorry, guess the other games on this site just trained me to look out for those kinds of clues LMAO.

BTW, I thought about this during the raider sisters threesome: since you can just cum inside them, is there some eventually pregnancy content planned with them? Do we have any idea what kind of pregnancy content is planned in general?

 

[dolfe67]

Umm, it's a porn game, WTF would you kill potential fuck partners? Only yourself to blame there, I guess "its funny" now that you have less game to play for each update unless you replay a bit, eh?

This is a valid complaint that some choices are just "do you want less content?" (and not even sexual only, but also story content). Remove the choices to kill some characters and there'll be less dissatisfaction about lack of content imo.

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).

I believe paz and z haven't noticed any quality drop in choosing a different format for the videos, so it made sense to use the less bulky format especially in light of the 5gb download limit on mega, which is what z has so far used on his releases.

Another way to avoid bloated downloads is to make seasons like BaDik.

Not really, all seasons of badik (except the interlude and the future next seasons) are in the same files. What he did though is providing update only patches for each season/update

 

[Ragnar]

(except the interlude and the future next seasons)

That's what I'm talking about. You can cut your seasons how you want, like 5GB each or 10GB.

I hope eventually Zaton will be in charge of all the factions in the game and dominate the world, it's in his blood.

You can do update only patches no matter if you make seasons or just small updates

 

[Kimhab]

Amazing update I love it, especially the raider quest. I wonder how much we have progressed through the story?

 

[Skrotum]

Quality update that still felt to short. I think it is the clash between providing a sandbox but doing episodic updates. It might come together in the finished game well, but the increments to that feel a bit patchy. Maybe I should get more discipline and let the game sit longer and not consume every update.

I really enjoyed the simp stuff with Kitty, that was funny without ruining the serious tone of the story.

Not everyone keeps old versions stored in their machines. Some play and delete until the next update also many games don't do update only download anyway.

Yeah but if you didn't keep the season 1 of badik (it's your example), you can't get the season 2 only, you have to re-dl the entire game. And yes most of the devs don't bother with update only patches.

No, renpy saves are stored in another folder besides the game one. You only need 1 end of season save to start the new one, that would be the interlude saves in badik case.

This is a valid complaint that some choices are just "do you want less content?" (and not even sexual only, but also story content). Remove the choices to kill some characters and there'll be less dissatisfaction about lack of content imo.

I personally feel that giving the player the option to do so if they feel like it adds to the game. Some choices are obviously "bad", some are obviously "good", and some....yet to be revealed.

Take Emilia for instance. You can get her offered to you twice. Now, some players might genuinely not be interested in her so they choose to decline her on purpose.
But if you do that twice and then be surprised that you don't get her content (or that some updates that have a bit of Emilia content might feel shorter for you), well....not much we can do about it.

Another way to avoid bloated downloads is to make seasons like BaDik.

The problem with seasonal/episodic/however-you-want-to-call-them content for DS is, there is not a clear cut-off point. Sure, we could wrap up what we have today, call it "Season 1" and be done with it, but to me it feels weird.
It's not a self-contained narrative, it's an arbitrary end.

I'm not saying this might not be the case in the future. We might be in a position to do it (e.g. when Shani comes back from the Zone or whatever), and we do discuss such ideas, but there's nothing concrete for now.

 

[pizbia]

thought I would be disappointed in not having that much sex in this update but honestly the story parts are legitimately good

slightly concerned about patreon banning it with their ridiculous "rules" though

 

[Bingoogus]

Good update, i liked the choice of how to setup the overpass town after the raiders take over and the sex scene with the hive queen was wonderfully disturbing. So happy to be finally able to blow a load in Ain, dunno what makes her unique or what it is about this game given the mountain of incest games i've played but anything to do with her get's me hard as a diamond and blowing loads like a teenager who just discovered masturbation. I hope in future content she gets/'can get' pregnant, whatever fallout comes from that will be fun, be it good, bad and/or in-between.

 

[incog44]

Good update. Always sucks finishing one because then I realize I have to wait. This is probably my favorite game on here because it's so unique. See you guys again soon.

It's been reported. For now, I think you can just unmute the volume.
