Hey everyone, we're back with a (belated) monthly progress report. The scenes are rendered, the animations are ready to start rendering, and we've already started putting the update together. Dialogue, music, etc. Some of the minor scenes are already close to done, which allows us to focus primarily on the meat of the update - Ivy's part. And that is a quite big part, her quest arc in this upda…
Hey everyone, time for another quick monthly report. Ivy's scene keeps being on full swing at the moment. Lots of different environments and situation throughout this event, although calling it an "event" is probably not doing it justice. It is probably more on par with the big exploration chain of events and aftermath (with Shani & the Queen) a couple updates ago, as there is a lot of going on…
Hey everyone, time for another monthly report. For the past month, the main focus has been Ivy's upcoming scene that we mentioned in the previous article. It's shaping up to be quite a hefty scene, but it's one we have planned for roughly 3 years now, and we're hoping it turns out exactly like how we imagined it, or at least as close as possible. When it comes to progress and numbers I would sa…

Hey everyone! Welcome to 0.20 - it took some time, but here we are. First off, thank you for your patience! I know this update took longer than the last one. There are a few reasons for that, one of them being that creating more action-oriented or “cinematic” segments takes up a lot of time, and there are quite a few of those this time around. Update Highlights Content-wise, we’re continuing fr…
Hey everyone, We're quite close to the end of the development cycle for this update, and even started internal testing on some parts of the upcoming scenes, so there's not much more left. When is it going to be out? Unfortunately, partly due to some RL obligations, we will have to push the Steam release of the upcoming update to the first days of February instead of the late January we have men…
Hi all, While we are busing working on the new content, we have a small patch for the game that adds a French translation in the meantime.

Update 0.19.5 Changelog - Added a French translation (courtesy of Gryff). - Fixed a font issue with the Turkish translation…
Hey everyone, There was a bit of radio silence from our side over here, but we were (and still are) hard at work on the next update, which will pick up from where the previous one left off. I understand many are curious about what it will include and, more importantly, when it will come so let's cut to the chase. 0.20 Content Currently, the bulk of the content revolves around the continuation o…

Hi everyone, we have just released a quick patch for 0.19 that mainly adds some missing translations and a couple of bugfixes (especially one that can block progress with Kyra in the basement). Unfortunately, the Spanish translation will have to wait a bit more due to unforeseen circumstances. We apologize for it and ask for a bit more patience.

Hello everyone, It's been roughly 2 months since our latest update, and we have since been at work for the upcoming one. Upcoming Content In this next update, Shani & the MC are going back on the road for... reasons that we'd rather not reveal yet, and this one is going to be one big scene, that will most likely carry over to the next update after that. The way we imagine it would leave little…

Hi everyone, we have just released another patch for 0.18 that primarily focuses on fixing the corrupted animations of 0.18.2. While animations worked properly in our internal development build, an issue with the compression upon packaging resulted in most animations becoming choppy and / or incomplete, apologies for that. They should be properly working now. We also took this opportunity to qu…
Hey everyone, here is the latest update of Desert Stalker. In 0.18 we take a step back from the action and instead focus on the day-to-day life of people in the household and the Queen. Release highlights In this update, the player takes Ain for a stroll through the market, sampling the various goods while taking a glance about her potential future(s). The Queen summons the player to the palace…
