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

[JohnF95zone]

I do. I'm well aware this is a super minority opinion.

Thank you for correcting my wrong choice of words. I have edited the post. Is there any other words or sentences that are not correct based on generalization or other ill-informed facts? It was just easier and quicker to type "no one wants that". I believe I made the point that majority want it like this, some like the opposite, and it was just not possible for the game to handle all situations, and I am also not able to cover all aspects of it, even just one aspect is daunting enough, not using the right words, very generic or sometime theoretical examples to illustrate a point etc.

Anyone is welcomed to express their opinions. You can be vocal about the agency of Shani, there is nothing wrong about it. In the end, it is entirely up to Zetan and the team to develop and produce the game according to their 'vision'. We, the players are encouraged to provide feedbacks with regards to the implementation and execution of it, if it is in line with the 'vision' or not.

 

[Yngling]

I believe what Yngling meant is, Shani and her interactions, engagements (or relationships) with other men, NOT SHARING meant Shani is exclusive to Zaton (MC) which means that Shani will not have any relationships with other men except for Zaton.

Exactly, that is my opinion. Although I am fine with Shani getting some lesbian action either within the harem or (at the choice of the player) outside of it. Other players may not be ok with that (due to weird Japanese three-letter acronym), but I do think that involving Shani in the action at home is pretty much unavoidable by now.

but that means Shani (as a character or main character) lost a bit (but a major part) of her individuality.

That is indeed also my struggle, but, as you say, at the moment Shani is infatuated with Zaton, so I guess it's fine...

My other concern though, is about the long term. If Shani inherits Zaton's House (not the building but the family), then she must at some point have children of her own. I suppose Zaton could be the father but I'm not sure how desireable that is. We talked about genetics enough already (and it's a porn game so who cares anyway?) but there is also the point of dynastic alliances among other major Houses.

Yeah, same here. I actually had Zaton not pursue Shani (and avoid Ain sexually as much as possible) partly because I'm not particularly into incest but mostly because I just enjoy role-playing loving dads who aren't into boning their children. If I remember right, I actually had to save scum to keep a sex scene with Ain from auto-triggering, but I was able to do it though there's some borderline stuff with her that didn't seem to be completely avoidable. My version of Zaton was one seriously proud papa when she expressed an interest in training recently!

I have to say I really respect that play style. Good job Sir!

Anyway, I would be completely fine with Shani finding someone to love; if it happens, hopefully it'll be someone dear old dad can respect. To be sure, I'd personally much prefer to see her end up with a fellow badass lady warrior than a harem of decayed gents, but at the end of the day you can't control your kids...or can you?!

Agreed with this as well. I do see potential for romance between the Queen and Shani, which would solve the dynastic alliance issue I talked about before. But there is the problem with having children.

Does the game lore already say something about how the dynastic inheritance of the Kingdom (Queendom?) is handled? Does the oldest daughter of the Queen automatically inherit?

I am secretly hoping tho... once she "officially" a desert walker and finished her training. She demands to be fucked by daddy.

This is it for me too...I'm all for any and all Shani content, whether that be her own route, spinoff etc., but hope she never loses her devotion to Daddy

I'm not particularly into incest but mostly because I just enjoy role-playing loving dads who aren't into boning their children.

What kind of a weirdo are you?

 

[FunFuntomes]

I am secretly hoping tho... once she "officially" a desert walker and finished her training. She demands to be fucked by daddy. As thats hopefully the distain and jealously shes held for her sister (even tho she kill anyone who harms her). Might not happen as it feels like the dev is trying ot make it not happen, but im going to keep hoping. Its a good enough time as any with reason. While I sitll consider the MC to be the main MC, as a side, I'd love to see her continue towards being an alpha bitch who kills, does and takes what she wants . Fuck up anyone from the influence imprinting of her daddy.

I think you hadn't finished the currently available content.

potential for romance between the Queen and Shani

Wha?? The only thing Queen is getting from my household is put in her place. She can join her kidnapper friend in chains on the street. Shani can take over as regent of Zeta after we overthrow that uppity wench who is currently occupying our throne. Shani will be the start of my new imperial dynasty. Together we can rule the galaxy desert as father and daughter! Then Shani's upcoming daughter/sister can become empress-in-waiting. I am sorry Ain, I have other plans for you.

why would Shani take away her sister's throne ? there was a line hinting that Meredith could be MC's daughter

Thanks

Queen is way too fuckable to drop her on the streets

She just needs a heavy hand and some guidance to get rid of that bratty attitude. Then she can become a perfect fuck doll. We already know she's craving some of MC's D.

Adoption?

 

[cheesetriangles]

I don't think 3d models suffer from birth defects like that.

 

[Lord Bradley]

I feel like desert stalker irl right about now because i am thirsty for that next update haha

 

[Deleted member 5070253]

i agree thats probably the one thing in this i havnt liked so far i like mantis so i wanted to go the route to get her but i really am not a fan of fang and would rather avoid her altogether

My thoughts exactly. Fang keeps butting in to everything. Even the queen had an option to not kiss the daughter. I get that people might like this kind of scenario with Fang so hopefully dev can just add an option for people who don't like Fang.

ya my guess is mantis i likely more of a side charactor so pronanly didnt want to make multiple variations still hope down the line we get an option to put fang in her place

I think there is a lore/narrative reason why the bunker night scene with Mantis had to involve Fangs, actually it is the other way around Zaton (MC) is encouraged and 'allowed' to join the Fangs and Mantis hot night together. Fangs is the defacto leader of the Mutants faction, she is bisexual I think or not but she makes exception for Zaton (MC), she is known to be involved sexually with the females (Pepper at least). So, basically as the leader (alpha), Fangs had to be the first to unwrap the present while did not completely ignoring or forgetting about Zaton (MC). Zaton (MC) will have his one on one interactions with Mantis, Pepper, Ivy or others later on.

Yes I hate it and it goes against the main idea of the game as power fantasy. I understand other people have different interpretation though. I'm sure some people also have same opinion as me and we will be happy if dev give option in the future to put her in her place or just execute her.

 

[Evil Earthworm Jim]

I must admit Fangs attitude is a huge deal breaker for me. I've enjoyed playing this game! and I've tried as hard as I could to play the game my own way (as paragon as the game permits) whilst still reminding people that I'm top dog but I finally broke in the last scene with Fang. It got so bad for me that I finally gave up and decided to reload a earlier scene to have as little reason as possible to interact with her which sadly meant, Mantis had to go, I mean after all at least I can control that. To be honest, if I thought it would make a difference I would give up Ivy. I respect that this is just my solitary opinion and care not a jot if people agree/disagree but I have that freedom to express my opinion, I just wish I had something better to say. I'm not look to affect the creativity in the devs narrative, There are huge parts of this game that have just been amazing but with that said, I would like as much power of choice in dealing with Fang (without having to miss out and avoid that content entirely) as I have enjoyed in previous scenes.

The story isn't the best but the girls are great. I need more of them in my life. Especially Ain, her scenes are way too short. Please.

If I recall right there’s going to be an update this weekend? Anyone know if it’ll be Saturday or Sunday?

It's going to beta testers this weekend, but I haven't seen anything about which day, specifically. It probably depends on if/what they have to wrap up.
