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

[GingerbreadMan]

Missed out on a great opportunity to make the scene with Julia more meaningful if it actually took you to a game over because too much time had passed due to falling for the illusion and it being a zone trap. Actually putting in some consequence to your choice and making the gameplay more interesting. But still enjoyable.

...

I made a save and expected to be trapped in a time loop or being eaten or something. Instead, I got Julias story. I would have loved it if there would have been consequences, maybe even the chance to help in the absence of some trap as it seemed clear she was dead already and actually knew so at some point. While it might have been able to be more - not every scene can be THE scene and refined into oblivion. You have to compromise somewhere. At least we got a nice touching scene with a beautiful girl that helped Shani along - and she made contact with Sonmi already. So even with smaller scenes, they might be of importance later on.

My favorite part was probably learning more about Ivy/Yuna. And the way they did that laptop was wicked cool. Reminded me so much of a terminal or Pipboy from Fallout.

it was quite cool yes. though having to read all that as the first thing of the new update might have been a bit much (though other things might have unlocked as well that for me just bugged out i dont know)

Hey, haven't played this game before but it seems interesting. However, I almost only play female protagonist ones so how much of a female protagonist game this is? Or is it mainly the male protagonist that the player controls?

 

[Ozygator]

I like this game and think all the scenes in the game are hot, but wish the updates where longer like they were during the intial phases of the game, before it became famous. Updates were usually twice the size of this from 0.1 to 05/0.6

Probably because of the "we're adding multiple paths to the game!" mentality of the dev's, which splits the game into smaller portions for those who don't play like the dev's want you to.

It's amazing, people are able to pass judgment on a game by sharing scenes even when you can decide not to.

save 0.10 pls

play from the start as a few changes have been made...

there might be conequences... we don't know how long did it take for Shani to leave

This is pretty similar.

Except it worsens the issue. Now dev's attention is divided not between characters, but between multiple path's of each character, multiplying the amount of work needed to be done.

For many of us that are supporting the dev financially, it's not an issue at all. We like the story the dev is telling. We like that there are multiple paths adding different variations of how the game can be played/how the story can be told. We like that they are open to various kinks and will make them optional so other people don't have to be exposed to that. Why should this dev or any dev cater to one crowd, with the "me want now, my content only" attitude? Fuck that. So far this year, I've supported Zetan with $164. I want him to keep doing it the way he wants.

You dropped playing, yet you post on the thread to tell people why you dropped playing. Why do you care about a game you don't like and don't play?

thats no different than most devs here making 2 entire games at a time. if they have the stories in their mind and they can make it happen why not ?

 

[Mortarion]

One of the best games ever and just removed support for Win32. I am devastated. Santa, for Xmas this year please upgrade my laptop

If you don't step up with your OS, the discontinued 32-bit support from Renpy will be sooner than later the least of your worries...

What are you talking about? It's entirely different.
There is zero correlation between someone choosing not to play the game because they dislike an aspect of it, but remaining active in the thread for that game & a dev making 2 games simultaneously.

Quick question, is this entire patch, or there's some cut content for beta release? Im so fucking hyped for more DS that i can't wait for more!

Well it's beta, as said in the game there are bugs and some missing content.

iirc, there is also a new harem scene with Ain and Zhara, which is not featured in-game yet. So it's best to wait for the complete update.

I agree with this. It's Zetan's story and he should be able to write DS as he wants. Yeah, there's sharing content and so what? Either turn it off or see it as true dom path from Zaton, as he is the one that gives the orders there.

I am pretty sure once Zahra becomes intimate with Kateryna or any other woman some fans are gonna claim it's "NTR" and cry about it... can't wait to laugh at them.

iirc, there is also a new harem scene with Ain and Zhara, which is not featured in-game yet. So it's best to wait for the complete update.

So the Zahra/Ain sharing with Igor wasn't the harem scene? Interesting... now I am more eager to see that missing content.

You pretty much nailed the reasoning there. Same i like how the dev is making this game, making me invested both for the story and the content, while making some fetishes optional so it can be enjoyed by everyone.

also in all the text for ivy there are also a few spelling errors so probably in the full update there would have been a reread before publishing

There is also a slight text error in the Outpost sequence where one of the bandit girls is called Ain.

Correct. I have pointed those out during beta testing so the devs are aware and will be fixing.

Not sure what that has to do with keeping up with and commenting on threads of games you have no interest in. I've dropped games I didn't like and make no effort to comment on them since I no longer have an interest. Just weird to me, I guess.

Android port?
