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 say the scene is roughly 50% done more or less. It does require a bit more attention than the average scene as it is more story focused than, say, a harem scene, but we're getting there.In the meantime, we are also working on some side content, like a bit of Kitty or small kitchen scenes to make the in-game setting feel more alive in a way.

After we're done with the Ivy scene, we will focus on any other scenes that we want to include in the update, but it's still up for debate what exactly they will be, as it also depends on our internal release schedule and how much time left we have.As we progress, we'll be able to share more specific details as to what you can expect from the update.
Also, here's a couple more previews.

As a final note, thank you to everyone that took the time to participate in our previous poll about OS, as it gives us some tangible data to help us decide whether we should upgrade our in-game engine or not (since it drops support for older OSes).See you next month,
Paz.

That will give us the option to fill out some parts of the game that have not being t…Game update18 Jul 2026Desert Stalker 0.21.4 PatchPatch 0.21.4 Translations: · Updated the Russian translation (credits: Kasatik) · Updated the Turkish translations (credits: BoxxO) · Updated the Spanish translation (credits: Darax) Regarding the Italian translation, our current translator has stopped responding in recent weeks so we are currently exploring options to get the translation up to speed with the newest content.

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…
