Desert Stalker 0.05

Here it is!  As promised, here's the release of Version 0.05.

I don't think there's much to say other than that we hope that you enjoy this update.   

Content-wise, there's a bit of everything. Especially in this update I recommend playing with audio and sound on.

I want to take this opportunity to sincerely thank everyone who supports this project, those who stayed with us from the start as well as our newer supporters. You can already see that the picture quality is improving constantly, that is because I can afford better hardware thanks to you.

I will also make an announcement, in a few days, regarding the future development targets and projects. But before that, enjoy the update!

Full version:

PC: Link (0.05c)
Mac: Link (0.05c)
Android: Link (0.05c)

How to enable the Quickmenu: "Preferences" -> "Quick menu" -> "on"

Note: Due to a rework of the UI and the general structure of the game, a patch to update the game from 0.04 to 0.05 is not available this time around. You will have to download the newest version and play from the start. We recommend deleting the old game files you have on your computer before unpacking the newest version. Old saves will not work.

Installing the patch: Replace the "game" folder with the one in your existing game file.

Some input. I really find it frustrating that there's no way to tell when each chapter or release is over. I just get a loop of nothing to do. Right now, I've no idea if I've seen all the potential things there are to see or missed any content. Is there a walkthrough or something we can use to make sure we don't miss out on potential scenes?

The questlog on the top left corner should help. This does not show every side event, but the main quests are listed to be continued if you did them all. We're trying out solutions for that at the moment, if you got ideas let us know :)

I love it!! The story is exciting, the pictures are beautiful, the characters are well worked out. Please work in a few more animations, otherwise everything is great. I am excited which way it will continue.

I'm wondering if you can compress the game? Downloanding 2 gigs or more everytime is alot or maybe an update patch.

Zetan · June 2, 2021

Next game update will have a patch like usual, where you only update the missing parts for 0.06. But I will take a look at compressing things as well :)

I think I found a bug in: Day5.rpy line 1498 and following. The answers seem to jump to the wrong functions? I downloaded the Script fix some hours ago, not sure if in a newer version the bug is already fixed.

Thanks for the headsup. I will let Paz know of this

Hey man, great update. Just wondering, in the quest log it says to be continued for most of the quests, but "Her majesty" and "Till death do us part" don't. Can't find a way to progress them though, is it just an oversight or am I blind and there is a way to continue (specifically talking to Shani about the map somehow)?

Z
Zetan · May 31, 2021

Yes, seems like we didnt implement a to be continued there. Theres a lot of scenes but yes, the map is not yet in this update. Paz and Cynical have more infos on discord
