ignore the mutants and so skip their content.
What ? Abandoning Chili? You have no heart ! My MC is in urgent need to adopt her and bring her home into my his harem.

She is the true jewel of this game imo. I need more content ! <3

In a more serious note: the others are kinda "meh" to me too, so i understand a little bit.

Hello everyone,
With the first Steam release of the game behind us and the next update in the oven for a while now, it is time for some belated news and general information regarding the game.

Information about the upcoming update
First things first, let's start with what I assume people are more interested in. Update 0.18.
We have been hard at work on the new update for the past months, laying out the content we wanted to include and how it will set up future content.

As far as the new update goes, it is going to include a multitude of smaller things:
- The MC is going to go on a stroll through the market with Ain, peruse the goods all the while taking about her and her future. And I'm fairly sure a Zetan market has little to do with simply oranges or cabbages.
- Emilia is also getting a couple of small events to continue her quest, and we're also going to pay a brief night visit to Krait.
- The Queen is making a comeback in this update as we visit her and tie up a few loose threads that have been left dangling.
- Finally, some smaller fun additions that we won't spoil... yet.
These are the things that we are focusing on, but maybe we'll manage to squeeze in something else in the meantime, we'll see how it goes.

And since people say a picture is worth a thousand words, so here's a few thousand more words about it.

As for the most important part, when, 0.18 will come in April. We are not yet certain of the date exactly as it depends on a multitude of things (e.g. beta testing and translations), but as we approach the release we'll be able to share a more definite date.

Post-release recap
This first release cycle on Steam was quite the ride for us. Lots of little things to take care that we didn't know in advance (it was and still is a learning process), but also a really big, positive and, honestly, unexpected reception from you.
A big thank you to each and everyone of you who took the time to post bugs and issues, review and discuss about the game, or otherwise interact with us and the community and get the word out. It really helped us!

Expanding the team
For some time now we have been looking into expanding the team in order to be able to deliver bigger and better content, which would allow us to explore more of the potential story lines Desert Stalker can offer.
We were in contact with a few individuals, and things are looking bright on that front.
Currently, we in talks with a very talented person that could help out with the rendering. If everything goes well, you can expect more news soon.
We are very excited about this prospect and what this means for the game and our ability to deliver what we have in mind for the future. Fingers crossed.

Also, we are thinking about posting some articles of the process of making the game every now and then.
Would people be interesting in that? What would you like to read about if so? Let us know in the comments!

Until next time,
Paz.
expanding the team to add OMAR sympathisers in the main storyline and become an OMAR main character arc so that we become OMAR, oh i never in my life so wanted to a be pussy beta man riding all the girls

There are times when this site produces gems one simply never discover. I like to think Ive seen most of the stories here and then I see something that was here all along and I never knew, sometimes seeing a signature on someones profile and post deliver the most exciting and wonderful VN's. Eternum, Instinct Unleashed, Artemis.. the list goes on and just like so many hidden jewels such as we have here... Desert Stalker. This story took my by complete surprise at first glance you think... a simple post apocalyptic visual novel seen several and most of them have one or two chapters then vanish never finished.

Desert Stalker however I was captivated from the moment it started. The music scores put you right into the period atmosphere... the visuals from the cutscenes to the simple animation between frames a small smile and eye movement are far beyond what a few sample screens display. The story the meat and potatoes of the VN delve layer after layer every arc in story left me more enthralled with each passing moment. It is a treasure worth experiencing like so many other great stories here in our little world that is F95. I want to thank the content creators for sharing their vision with us. Words dont convey how enjoyable it truly was and how eager I await its continuation. Thankyou for all your effort in this world you have created.

Fellow facial king!
You know it. Visually, it´s much more appealing to me than a creampie.

I’m open to anyone, but if I had to choose, I think Queen Merneith would be quite an intriguing personality :HideThePain:
Hmm, so you save the craziest position for the one yet to be explored. Can´t wait for the Queen to finally get it (maybe next update?).

I will team up with the Red Hot Chili Pepper.
When you have to do a little convincing for Pepper to do anal "Give it away, give it away, give it away now"

Just be nice to her.
A nice rule to follow in real life too.

I do wonder what will be the outcomes from the imminent war between the factions. Maybe make them work together or choose just one to support...

But while that arrives, I know this will be me after killing Merneith/the raider girls/or the mutants in a playthrough I decided to become enemies :HideThePain: :

Oh god, I didn´t even think about that possibility, but now that I do, it makes sense that choosing a faction will result in the end of the others. My goal, if the game allows it, is to get the raiders and the mutants working under the Queen to better the civilization of Zeta. I don´t see myself siding with the decayed, but Lord Abrax needs to tell me a lot more.
Now, in the chance that I have to pull the trigger on one of the factions, I really can´t choose what my canonical ending would be. I liked them all.

Do yall think this upcoming Ain market scene means she gets sold to slavery or its a new kink of her?
Someone asked a similar question in the devlog (the one that has Ain chained from the neck), and Zetan said the scene was of exhibitionism rather than selling her as a slave. And honestly why would Zaton suddenly decide to sold Ain as a slave? It's his daughter after all... sorry I meant tenant. Nothing to worry about, Patreon. :WeSmart:
I´ve been thinking about it too, and I really doubt it´s going to end with Ain being sold to slavery. Ain is to Zahra what Shani is to Zaton, but while Zahra is into more domination and punishment roles, Ain is much more into being passive and submissive. With that rumour that the scene is going to be about exhibitionism, maybe Ain is going to watch people "test" the slaves or Zaton will let the slavers "test" her. All with the players option to choose.

Chili is Pepper´s sister, right? Yeah, we need more content of her down the line. But that is also true for all the mutants.

Hey guys, this question has probably been asked a few times, but I need to know if I've seen all the available content or if I'm accidentally in a loop.

The last thing I did in my playthrough was go see the queen, after having sex with Lirah.

That content was from the 2nd previous update. The current one updated the mutants quest.

Hello Zetan, is it possible to make a standard version in English only because in automatic mode we cannot translate the game into French because of the multilingual versions.
