Hey everyone, we have a few things to cover in this post. First things first...
News for the upcoming update
The main focus at the moment for the upcoming update will be everyone's some people's favorite elf.
It starts with another visit to Ivy's hideout, and the last unread part of her diary from way back then, and we'll have the opportunity to learn more about her, her friend, and their past.
I’m still deciding what other content will make it into 0.21.
Hadham is currently busy with extra content for Kitty for the next week or two working on some more repeatable actions. Her story, which goes a bit deeper into why she is the way she is, will come some time in the future instead.
There are tons of smaller things we want to add here and there, stuff like more repeatable events in the household (kitchen events, better room visit scenes), but also outside in the wasteland (revisiting Lirah in both paths, more sex with Asha & Kyra, some more variations for the Hive queen, Ain's basement variations or her market visits... the list goes on.
In addition to all of these options we have Nadia, who is going through some drastic, steamy household changes... and don't even get me started on Krait.
In short, there is no shortage of good possible sex scenes. The only question is when? My thinking is to have as much as we can in 0.21, and pause the main story for 0.22, and focus on one big, fat and meaty sex update. But that's just me thinking out loud for now.
As we get further into the development of the current update, we will have more concrete details about the final content that ends up in it.
Hotfix 0.20.3.1
This hotfix is mainly aimed at fixing a few save-related issues, as well as the issue of incomplete Simplified Chinese translation.
Minor changes / Bugfixes:
Fixed an issue with the bad end replay not setting some flags properly, making a path inaccessible
Fixed an issue with missing Simplified Chinese translations
Fixed an issue with toggling the game over scenes in preferences
Note #1: While we tried to fix most of the save-related issues, a small percentage of players might still have issues.
If you are still encountering issues with your save files, please contact me on Discord or through PM here so I can try to fix them manually.
Note #2: Spanish & French translations are still in the works, apologies for the delay.
A quick poll about OS version
We would like to ask you to take part in a quick poll about what operating system you are playing Desert Stalker on, as this helps us decide on how to migrate to newer game engine versions.
The Steam Hardware Survey gives us a few indicators, but since it is opt-in it might not be representative or accurate for our player base.
So, if you have a minute and are willing to help us, visit this Google Forms link below for a quick poll.
