Desert Stalker 0.20 News

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

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 of the previous event whichhad the MC, Shani & the Queen getting captured by bandits.

We'll get to see how that situation is resolved and eventually tackle the initial goal of that mission, finding the Elder’s hideout. The only question now is whether everyone else will make it out alive - but that’s for you to see.

Deep underground, the city’s buried history may finally come to light as we get a glimpse of the past and the forming of Zeta.

We are ~500 renders & 50 animations in this scene so far, and it will hopefully soon be wrapped up so we can move to the rest of the content.

Speaking of the rest of the content, the current plans are to visit the Temple and *cough*meet*cough* some of the Revered Mothers that are tasked with bolstering the ranks of the city, and Ain will have another stroll in the basement for some fun activities.

0.20 Release date

The current plan is to have the new update out some time in January, most likely in the latter half, but we have not penned a date yet. As the new year closes nearer, we will have a better view of the expected date and we will share it with you as soon as we know.And as always, if you have any specific questions or suggestions, or just want to hang out, feel free to join our Discord server.Until next time,
Paz.

During that period we have been planning and working on the next update, deciding on what content we want to tackle, and mainly focusing on smaller bits of content after the behemoth that Ivy's scene was.

This one is a heavier update, not only because of the file size but also because Ivy's story line is finally being continued, and the darker parts of her past are revealed. While this is where most of the development time went, there are also a good number of small, mostly replayable scenes that have been added. So if you are looking for a more lighthearted time, perhaps s…
