Concept Art: At the top

This is a familiar scene. The Queen will play an important role in the upcoming events, and she will most likely not for long be "just" the hot bratty sadist at the top. Everyone looks for something they don't have. She is no different.

February Wallpaper - Secretary Shani

"She knew working here wouldn't be easy, especially as the head secretary. But she also knew that she could be very convincing, if she wanted."

We'll be returning to polls and DS-universe renders next month again, but Shani is too fitting for a secretary to not use the opportunity while I'm still out. Faint office  corruption VN vibes

Concept Art: The Big One

The Big One... A big, dumb raider with huge hands and a deformed head. A creature I've had sitting in my files for a solid year now. And Asha... doesn't want her boss to get hurt.

Our new raider settlement may encounter other raider gangs in the future, and our MC may have to prove himself. When, remains to be seen...

Concept Art: Panoramic

I may not post the weekly dev updates for some time, but that doesn't mean I can't post anything at all, so I prepared some concept art style posts in advance.

These are ideas and inspirations for scenes that accumulated over the years, and that I sometimes even visualized. There will be a few more of these over the coming weeks. These are not spoilers as such, because I am not decided yet on which if any will become fully realised scenes, and even if they were, what are they about? Wha...

Desert Stalker 0.12b

Hey all!

So, the new update is here and it comes with a bit of information about the immediate future below!

In 0.12, we're taking a step back from the depressing wastelands and focus more on the MC’s household.

This update is shorter than the last one, and while there are no action cutscenes in this one, there is a good amount of hot content. We progress Rabiah's family quest, Fairy's side quest will finally branch into three different outcomes, and Ain gets two more sc...

I hope ya'll are ready to spend more time with the red-haired basement dweller and also show what a "good" brother-in-law you are, because we're going live in the upcoming week for beta testing!

See you soon

January Wallpaper - Wood-elf Ivy

“In the Wide World the Wood-elves lingered in the twilight of our Sun and Moon, but loved best the stars; and they wandered in the great forests that grew tall in lands that are now lost."

This render is more on the pretty side instead of sexy, with a pretentious quote on top.

For next month's render I'll most likely skip a poll and instead post a render on my own since I won't...

Another scene enters the list, and with that we finalize the scenes for this upcoming update.

For a change of pace from Rabiah/Nadia/Fairy, this one is a peek into Emilia's day-to-day life in the house, and Ain seems to act irresponsibly again... or does she?

We're into the second week of the year now, and as I've stated in this post, I'm aiming for a release at the end of january. I have a couple days extra in case before I head off for a few weeks, so it could also be in the first week of february.

Regardless, I'm writing the script at the...

Happy new year!

"These old-world gadgets are too good to be wasted. Time to let hell go loose."

This goes out to all supporters and fans alike. 2023 is looming at the doorstep, or, depending on where you live, already here. May you break the bad habits of last year and begin the new one in the most bombastic fashion.

Stay healthy and optimistic, even in challenging times. Happy new year everyone from the DS team!

December Wallpaper - Girls night

“Not all girls are made of sugar and spice, some are made of sarcasm, wine and everything fine.”

Here's the girls wishing you a belated happy holidays. I wanted to post sooner but we ran into some last minute errors. As for the poll, it was quite split so I decided to give everyone a hat. (Except Rabiah and Nadia who suffered an unfortunate case of clipping.)

Variations like no christmas hats or no clothes in the attachments below ;)

Nadia and her mother are getting more events: Rabiah has seen something that made her upset, and we will find out more about what really happened with Zahra back then.

Also, I will be uploading our updated version of the spanish translation by Darax, as well as the new russian translation by Kasatik for 0.11c tomorrow. I'm always going to support any fan translation, so if any of you want to see your language and name be featured in this game, contact me whenever.

Hey everyone! More progress is being made, and since we got a preview of the upcoming fairy scene, I'll also give a bit more insight on what's coming up for her.

The previous events were the initial ones where the player gets introduced to Fairy's character and state. The way you approached her will have an impact on her personality, whether you try to slowly "heal" Fairy, or "condition" her more into her current state. 

With this upcoming update, we continue down that road. ...

Some news for the near future

Hi everyone, there are some news I wanted to share with you for a bit, and now is as good a time as any. This will be a somewhat long post (for my standards) so I'll put a TL;DR in the end. First off...

Tier updates

I've been thinking about this for a while now. Back when I started I had no clue what I was doing, and that includes supporter tiers. As time went by we introduced more tiers, but this meant I had to come up with rewards on the spot and some might feel...

Edit 19.12.2022: Updated game version, added translations. Read patchnotes for more.

Release day! It took some additional days to put everything together, but we've managed to put all the new content in that I wanted to.

The first Zahra scene in the game is mostly reworked, most renders are done, but I didn't get around to implementing it yet. It will have to wait a little longer, as new content had priority, and as for the new content, it's a so...

Hey again! We have started integrating the new scenes in the game (coding/music/etc.) while the remaining parts are rendering. More than 40 animations have been rendered so far (both NSFW and story ones) and I am actually considering to get a third rendering PC to get all the pre-posed scenes rendered quicker if that remains a bottleneck in the future.

I think we're getting closer to the release, and the current plan is for the Beta to be out in the first week of November View Post

Promo: Lust City by Candylight Studios

It has been quite a while since my first and and so far last cross promo post, and I thought I pick it up again by doing a cross promo for a dev team who basically just started out.

There are not many adventure-themed games out there compared to other genres, so I thought why not use my voice to help them out a bit. Presenting:
