Desert Stalker 0.13c

Time to give Shani some attention! After the longer break right after 0.12 we're coming back with a more laborious and bigger update this time around. With about 1,000 renders we've reached a personal highscore as far as releases go. Get ready for some surprises when playing this one.

0.13c includes translation updates, minor changes, and finally the reworked Ain punishment (d5g). Pietro had ideas in mind in how to improve the scene, however we ran into fatal issues at the end including...

Alright, this is the last preview before the beta release next weekend so it deserves a proper teaser. We've made a lot of progress this week, and next week I will be adding more things to make the narration enjoyable, work on the quest log, try to fix any remaining animation issues (if I don't make it in time they will come in-game after the beta). Also, just as another headsup, this is the first update after the tier reshuffling some months ago (3 day release interval between tiers).

Hey everyone, we're having our first dev playthrough at the moment. I will have to take back the early June release date and instead aim for the weekend after the next one, which is mid June. So... 16th or 17th will be the release date! (unless my harddrives dissolves over night). There's lot of minor details to fix or improve and that extra week will give me a bit of leeway.

Less than two weeks to go ~

May Wallpaper: Cyberpunk Kyra (SFW)

"Hey, M., it's Neith. You want another job? There's this boostergang that is getting on my nerves. Their leader is a dangerous one. Don't underestimate her, she's got brains despite her mods. Her sister on the other hand... pure cyberpsycho, avoid her. Let me know when you dealt with those sluts, I don't care how. If you manage to tame them, keep them locked up where I don't need to see them. Good hunting."

This week we prepared the text for almost all scenes.

Now we're working on missing renders (hence the 90% completion) for missing expressions etc., going through the text again to check the flow of the scenes and adjust where needed to make the scenes overall more enjoyable.

I know this is an atomic teaser of a picture, and yes, I know, I'm still not telling you what is exactly happening. Even the team called me out on showing so little, but I don't like spoilers. Sorry not sorry :^)

As for what's new this week: We're still coding. There's still a lot to do and to edit. A few weeks left to go, for sure, to do things properly.

Hey everyone, so I have started to work on the script. I'm not making any promises yet but I aim for the release in early june.

Also, my Mega account got banned for whatever reason. Nothing of value was lost, but now I am spending some time looking for a good sync alternative. Sorry to those who couldn't access the 0.12b android version in the last days, I'm finally replacing the link today.

Hey everyone. I've started creating the first nsfw animations. Taking more time with them this time around so I avoid clipping or annoying hand movements like in some past ones. I should be able to finish them during next week and then proceed with the rest like I said before.

Thank you for your support during dev time. I can't say this enough!

Ok, this is the last of the Queen for now, I swear. :^

We're 200 renders into the Palace scene and I'm about to finish the overall structure. After that is done, probably by Tuesday, I will take my time with the animations before starting to write the script, and then go back and fine-tune the scenes. 

We might have to be extra patient with the script this time around because it's very story relevant stuff that we have to get right. In short, the update is still a big af cons...

Oookay, we've arrived at what is most likely the last scene of the update, although I have put aside most of the previous scene because it's one that will require a lot of animation work.

We are back at the palace to finally report to the Queen about the tasks we took on, so why not stay for a while...

Don't mind Asha, she's just collecting some eggs...

I hope you guys are enjoying the holidays. On our side we're making good progress.

There's a lot of little things to show for Shani's long-awaited return which, as I said before, means quite a few smaller events. So far the plan is 3 more scenes except these ones, but let's see how things go.

Happy Easter!

With Shani's part largely behind (most of the initial scene is done), we're continuing with the aftermath and her return home. I won't spoil what exactly happens, just know Zahra is part of it!

I'm going for multiple small scenes for now, as there are lots of little things that need to happen. After that, all roads lead to the Palace visit.

In other news, the 4090 GPU I've ordered arrived this week, because some of those Shani scenes were polygon fiestas and really pushing the lim...

Hope you're having a nice weekend! Shani's scene is tricky, as expected from a mission finale. Lots of small animations, light play and posing... After I am finished with that, we'll go back home to work on the aftermath. Meanwhile Pietro himself continues to work on some more reworks to test the waters. This time: The second encounter with the guards. A short scene, and the last we've seen from the two guards so far.

Hey everyone! I am back and have already made great progress with the first scene of the upcoming update.  I am really eager about it because we will finally get to reach a point in the story that a lot of people have been waiting for, and it's also something I've been thinking about for more than a year now.

I am also happy to announce that we have a new member on the team. Pietro has very graciously offered to help with renders and animations, and I am really excited about what t...

Concept Art: Hope

A picture I have had in mind since long before Sonmi was introduced in 0.11. Ivy and her shared a past, and I want to tell their story.

Much of this game is about the relationships between characters in a (sexually liberated) revisionist society, but this one is about two characters, their experiences over decades, and about the fading of hope.
