Desert Stalker
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Update 0.20 is out now!
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.
Content-wise, we’re continuing from the cruel cliffhanger, and you will attempt to guide the trio out of the situation they find themselves in and continue the search for the Elder's hideout.
You will also be able to visit the temple for the first time and meet a certain someone named Isra. (This and future events will be repeatable in the future). Additionally, there are three scenes with our favorite household members and one with Pepper. See the full changelog below.
On a less relevant note, we’ve been busy working on a new UI for the main menu. Other areas are also being worked on and will be updated in upcoming releases.
That's about it from me, I hope you enjoy your time, and as always, I welcome feedback and criticism.
Also, there is a certain elf out there who is already very curious about 0.21... ;o
_______________
Regarding the Android, it's getting more and more difficult to stay under the 2GB limit it has, but we're looking into providing a downloadable version of it that bypasses those limits. In the meantime, you can play the PC version of Desert Stalker on Android using Joiplay (with the help of the RenPy 8.3.7 plugin listed here https://www.patreon.com/posts/joiplay-1-20-600-135070650)

Is it possible to make a compressed version like the size of Android for Win?
🤔seeing v20s beta on free sites, yet nothing here! Sus
The latest post on the pateon has proved that v0.20 has appeared
the intern beta version from the patreon does get leaked sometimes, there is nothing sus about it because it is not me who is leaking it. The one that will be uploaded here is a more polished one, even if it takes a little longer. First, supporters on patreon and SS get the (more unpolished) early access because they support the game on a monthly basis. then, Steam and itch.io get the more polished version, more likely to include translations. I will upload the itch version tomorrow
Can't wait to see what's new in this, especially after the cliffhanger from last version.
Understood, the suspense for v20 has been insane after v19 left off! Been one of the most sought after continuing I think we've had in a while with this title! Please no rush just glad you are still here with us, and didn't forget about us! Really wish I could support on pateon but our country blocks the sub service :/ thanks you for the update! It's one of the best out there!
Does it work on linux?
Hi Zetan! Truly love your game. When can we expect the next update ?
very soon, we are preparing the beta for the first days of feb!
Thank you so much for your reply, I'm very excited about the update, and I believe I'm not the only one.
I cant wait!!! Xxxx
me neither!
I lost all my saves after downloading the new version :(( is there a way I can play to the point of the newest version?
When's the next update? And please add more ain
only here on itch
And Steam of course (but you need to able to see the adult content in your setting)
hey, you can buy it on here, you will get a free steam key in the process which you can use on steam even in germany!
Damn it man, 19.4 was a hell of a cliffhanger. I don't like how easily two Stalkers and the Queen highly trained in Swordsmanship were captured by a few random thugs though.
Hopefully nothing too bad happens to the girls, i'm still traumatized from recently playing the Neverwhere Tales, where one of the best LI's was killed :(
I agree i was really shocked when to stalkers we easily capture
Would appreciate if you guys could help me identifying the song that plays when
(SPOILERS)
Ivy takes you to her place.
that song was fire! this entire game is legitimately INCREDIBLE.
Good day,
Awesome game as always.
By curiosity, would there be more lesbian content by chance down the road in future updates? Similar to that initial scene between Ain and Emilia? Or as when we play as Shani POV?
Cheers,
If I buy the game will I get the future Updates aswell ?
yes!
I bought 0.17 now I have to buy 0.19
Its at the very top, says,"you own this game." And a download box! I also purchased it at like v17, we are now v19 and no further purchase nessesary! Purchased 349 days ago for 17.99...
I will check it out soon! Thanks for letting me know
Steam keys have been refilled. You can now request a steam key again if you purchased the itch.io version.
amazing game! when will be the next update?
i must say that your story telling is peak quality
I am so looking forward to this next update! Part 2 has me so anxious this time! Please don't stop doing these half content releases! It's the edge we all need! ....wished that big guy got a piece of shani tho! Full pen! Just a wish tho! Thank you Zetan!!! Forever 💕
I love this game. I played it through around the v.14 mark and loved it then, and now I just bought the paid version at .19.4 to begin all over again and I'm even more excited than the first run-through.
I love the imagery and the music, and the women are the hottest in any VN, IMO. Thanks for your beautiful work, Zetan! Keep doing what you do so well.
thank you, glad you liked the improvements :)
There are no Desert Stalker 0.19.4 version for MAC at Gofile
thanks for letting me know, the link went down. I have added a new pixeldrain link for mac
I played this from here for a while, and also bought it on Steam, but I'd like to update the non-Steam version so I can keep my save files, is there any way to get the newest update without having to buy it again, some way to verify it so I can get the update?
I was wondering what your artistic process was and applications used for it were? You've created both a very good environment and phenomenal characters, especially the eyes.
Keep up the great work zetan, hope this pops off better than you hope.
Ended up picking it up on steam, looking forward to more (I hate paypal, lol)
thank you, like many other VN's, I use daz3d almost exclusively, and if needed some photoshop for single stylized renders. :)
Awesome. How did you start your learning path when beginning VN development? Did you begin with the art or coding? or did you do both simultaneously?
Thank you for the information, daz3d looks incredibly impressive!
Hey @zetan just a huge fan of this game.
Sad part is , in india I unable to buy your patreon membership because its blocked.
I would really appreciate you if there is any other alternative to check weekly updates and all of course for USD.
I could pay in crytpo or PayPal.
Please consider this.
My e-mail: oflinehulk@gmail.com
thank you very much for the offer! It's sadly not allowed to do transactions through paypal due to terms of service. Perhaps Subscribestar is an option?
Very hot and cool world building. Hope we can also knock up the raider sisters at some point. The game is one of the few games of such a high quality I don't mind donating on top of what I paid to buy it on itch and Steam
theyre two of my favorite.. i didnt know what i was doing during the opening scene and im super glad i let her go HA such a hot handful of scenes with those two.
Hi, I need help unlocking a scene of the mutants, it tells me that I must sleep in the mutants base after meeting Krair in the gym (Fangs romance), I thought I had done everything but I sleep and nothing happens
Hey, this should be fixed in the newest 0.19.4 version. Let me know if it isn't.
Dev, I bought your game and the content surprise me... yes ! the characters is beautiful and outlook is unique compare to other game , not only that it actually have personality and story behind them all ... not just let's meet and sex cause is adult game and we are horny for no reason... I also like the background you set us in ... like medieval time when slave is normal so we have a choice to be dominate if we want (but I play love role so is romantic) ... plus mutant and crisis scenario really make MC have the right to do anything but still let player decide to be tyrant or gentlemen ... I yet to finish the game but I do hope is story is long cause so far I enjoy a lot. conclusion this game is a surprise gem in visual novel adult game ,keep up the good work , I'm looking forward to your update and maybe future project
thank you!
Will still be able to update the game on steam and how do you have fun time Kyra when ever you want like the the other girls?
Hi zetan , hope you doing well!
the 0.19.4 is the last version of the year or we will have another one before the year ends?
hi, I think that's it for now, further patches and new content will come in 0.20. and as much as I'd like to make a quick release, the next part will take more than 8 weeks. I'm doing weekly patreon dev logs though with previews in the meantime
Oh, okay, thanks for the reply! I asked because I played the game in December 2024 and really enjoyed it, so I wanted to wait another year for the game to evolve enough to play again. So, I guess let's play again. :)
The Book Of Eli reference...muah. Loved it.
If I buy the game, do I also have to buy the next update?
No, you do not have to.
not anymore. One purchase gets you future updates too. I will be simply updating this thread
Do i get access to download from itch if I bought the steam version?
怎么安卓端动不动就闪退？
切换成简体中文之后点啥都闪退，繁体中文还有不少地方翻译夹着英文
So I'm stuck, it says to trust the slave and go, but I can't go to the basement, and I can't do anything, what am I missing?
我在这购买之后，itch的更新进度是跟patreon上一样吗？
Is there any new content with Savannah, counting from version 0.17 ?
Is the episodes release same with the one on the Steam ?
I really like your game, but I have already purchased it on the Steam platform. Now I want to play it on my phone. Will itch be discounted
Sadly steam does not include an android version :/ and I can not give discounts on here
Could you please add an option where the female characters can grow pubic hair🙏
Your game is worth ANY and EVERY penny.
This is art Zetan, the work you've put in truly is remarkable. I'm playing the new update but I wanted to ask just one thing. About the Kyra in the basement and Ain's punishment bug at the very start of the game. I did already ask you this, and you did answer, so I'm sorry to ask again but since I don't see it in the patch notes, I wanted to know if it was something for future updates. It's not important, I just thought of starting again if it was in there with all the other fixes, and if not, no problem.
<3 Late response sorry, but yes new Ain basement content is coming in the next update
Is there a way to just be a dick to the slaves and everybody but your own family. I want them in the basement and to punish them more like the raider bitch. She needs to be punished for her mouth
If i bought the steam version can i play that on my mobile?
Thanks for 0.19, Zetan! I really enjoyed this part, but ending on such a cliffhanger is so... I hate you (I actually love you). But how long do we have to wait for 0.20 now? I'm dying of impatience >_<
:P can't say yet
