Hey all, so this dev log is just to let you know that we've already started working on the next update.

The MC and Zahra once planned to go on a date, should Shani come home safe, and it will finally happen. Igor will pay a visit to check up on his niece, and the Queen's quest will continue, with that guard you only saw twice leading us there, at least that is the plan so far.

I also want to say that regarding future updates in general, we usually try to include something for everyone, but it may not always turn out to be great to try and develop 5 sides of the game at once. 

We've read from you that because the individual scenes are sometimes short, you'd like more content you can "dig your claws into" with a string of events instead. That's why, during next update's development, I will prepare parts of the next mutant mission that is planned for 0.17 as to not put it out there in droplets, but give you a whole mission instead.

There may be over 850 new renders and a two minute cutscene in this update you played / are about to play soon, but some of you have reported that it doesn't always feel that way if the content is all over the place or lacking a bit of pace/climax. So just letting you know we hear you and are taking the input to heart.

Nonetheless, we hope you still enjoyed / will enjoy 0.15. See you next week. After that, I will take a couple weeks of (creative) break to recharge batteries. Like last year, I am already preparing some posts in the meantime :)

It is always the hardest choice with DS. The game is kind of spread out with a lot going on in many places at the same time. Do I play the latest update immediately or wait for more content? I have tried both and I still do not know which is better.

Plans for next update sound great, plotwise! :D Glad to see more of that cute lady-guard again. And hoping very much to see some more of the spicy Ain/Igor interaction, as I love that particular pairing and the power dynamic and snarky banter between those two. Just my 2 cent of course. I know it's hard to cater to all tastes and impossible to fulfill all wishes. But you are doing great. Loving everything you have created so far! And I know I will enjoy everything you might come up with. Never gets boring with that gem of a project. Thank you!

Igor comes to visit. I am sold.

You can't satisfy everyone in every 3-month update. Just not doable. There's too many wheels to this story. At least the criticism in this case is people wanting more of what you're offering. But don't let it get to you too much. Desert Stalker is still the best VN out there. Keep up the good work.

Take your time and do what you need to do, man I'm eagerly awaiting Igor checking in on Katykat and the return of Best Guard Wiwah

I prefer to wait and play an update that lasts a few hours. Playing for 30 mins and that's it, it's disappointing for me

Hyped to see Uncle Igor coming back! Will you also rework older scenes? Ain's massage and Sharing is caring could use the amazing art of all the recent updates.

Ken

Great! I love the update, and I can't wait to see more!

Stylzgottrix

Yay Uncle Igor!! Gotta make sure his nieces needs are taken care of! 😏😏😏

Jonathan Hang

I can't wait for that date! I'll always enjoy any content from you. Your game is easily one of my favorites!

I've caught myself thinking the same thing "hey this update was really short" and then I look at the stats and of course it wasn't. Focusing on one or two things per update but making them meatier is probably a good idea.

Zetan

definitely, sometimes it's hard to see how meaty it will feel for players after you've worked 12 weeks straight on it, but I will put more focus on it

The plan is to rework all older scenes that look ugly / not on par with content from 0.7 and onwards before the steam release, so possibly in the next 2-3 updates. So there is a lot to do, but yes Ain's massage and for example kyra's basement scene are so damn outdated that work needs to be done. (It will most likely be image reworks, and maybe some extra renders.)
