Desert Stalker 0.14d (Public)

Hey all, ready for 0.14? Because here it is:

What's new: the update is a bit all over the place. We're visiting the Queen, the Raiders, and spend time with Kateryna and Fairy. Keep in mind that the Queen's plotline has just begun, so don't expect too much progress with her just yet.

The first part of the new raider mission is baked into the main menu screen, however it will sadly not be released for 0.14. There was simply too much to do to complete it and give it proper care.

We're diving more into side characters this update, and the next update will most likely, at least in part, return the focus to our main cast.

I will admit that I am unhappy with the update taking 4 months, even with the extensive content. I still aim to reach a shorter release cycle, but getting there is a learning curve.

Hope you enjoy the update! I'm always open for feedback. Also, italian players rejoice, we have a translation for you.

Full version:
PC: Gofile, Pixeldrain (0.14d)
Mac: Gofile, Pixeldrain (0.14d)
Android: Gofile, Pixeldrain (0.14d)
11.10.23: Android versions have been updated to high resolution ones.

I'm confused. Did the access for the Stalkers just get uploaded today or October 27th? Before I only saw the Legates having access on October 27th.

Yes, the newest download should fix that issue. Can I ask when you downloaded the file?

Well done on the update, you knocked it out of the park again!! Now that the house is filling up I'm really looking forward to the various activities that will be happening. So many harem scene combos, nightly sleeping partners or just little random events are now available (and that's just the household!), it'll be cool to see what you decide to implement. With how much has happened, me thinks a new playthrough is in order. Keep up the great work, MORE IVY AND SHANI PLEASE!!!

This is a nice thing to wake up to, its downloading as we speak. So it will be ready to go for later today. As for the dev cycle, I get what your saying but I dont think you went severly over time, but regardless I trust your judgement if things take a longer.
