discussion VN Ren'Py DAZ Desert Stalker [v0.20.3.1] [Zetan]

[Sec]

I'd never heard of this game before joining this site a week ago. Gave it a whirl 'cause it's topping the ratings list and I wonder how I missed this one, because damn, what a game..
Renders, models, story - all excellent! It became my all time favorite game in this genre, period.

Is an update coming anytime soon?

 

[Pyken7]

Inc + Mad Max? Color me intrigued

 

[Boogere]

Is an update coming anytime soon?

Sometime in November seems to be what the Dev is aiming for, December at the latest.

Though the Dev is adding to the storyline and some new repeatables for this upcoming update. Going by what people have been copy/pasting, this update also appears to be rework heavy as they are going to release it on steam. So it may take longer than what you would predict, if a person were to take the average time between updates.

I had neglected this game for a while as everyone kept hyping it up. It felt like one of those must see movies. I decided to give it. chance and found out how stupid i had been. some great renders, good writing and some pretty good animations. excited for the future for this one!

So, one of the tags says monster girls, if it really has monster girls in it what type of monsters?

I am going to assume that's related to the Hive girl and the Hive Queen. They are like a humanoid insect hive mind.

Does it really have a female protagonist? I appear to be able to only play the dude for an MC.

Can it be played as a female MC only?

 

[Boogere]

You get the option to play as Shani when she goes to the zone, and while the MC is visiting the mutants you can see Shani's visit with the queen when the kidnapper gets roasted and you get some choices to how she reacts to the execution. That's about it I think

I think it also relates to the Elven LI.

This game is good. The story, graphics and animations are good. I would have liked more various scenes, maybe to come?

 

[Lostandquiet73]

Hey, so this is actually a pretty cool game. I like the sandbox style, and I also enjoy the fact that some girls get real spotlight and not everything is done by the protagonist.

Spoiler

The soon-to-be-stalker sister saving the other sister during that scene in the market

was actually a pretty sweet detail and I hope we get to see more of them being proactive.

 

[indipiccalilli]

Is this Christmas come early?

 

[DH1087]

I haven't played this game since the first couple of updates. Don't know why as the reviews have always been consistently high.
Time to play catch up

 

[Skrotum]

Seems to be a maintenance update, with little new content, that breaks saves. I will skip this update and rather start over with the next final version. With it getting a Steam release I hope the story is done and stable in the next year.

 

[Mr-Mirari]

yeeeah this is one of the best games ever

 

[7Jys]

Excellent game with good graphics and an interesting plot, success to the author and frequent updates to us.

 

[chester1530]

As always, I will start it again, to enjoy it like a crazy person with a whip.

 

[lillo]

Wtf, savefiles from 0.16 won't work with 0.17 as they aren't even detected, there's a 0.17 savefile in the zip of the game, but how to kow which choices have been made in the past in it? Isn't there any other solution apart from starting a new game? :E

 

[Boogere]

They upgraded renpy and changed a bunch of code and did a bunch of rerending for the sake of releasing on steam. On top of all of that leakers for this game have a habit of dropping the incomplete beta for this game, which only gets put onto patreon so subscribers can bug test it, so your mileage may vary. Personally I'm going to wait till the full release on the 13th.
