Desert Stalker 0.18.4

Hey all! It's time for a new release! So, what's in it?

This time we've been hush hush about the content about the Queen in the dev logs leading up to it, but here's a breakdown:

Aside from two scenes with her, another part of the update is focused on a day out with Ain. There are also two events with Emilia that fill in her last missing quest steps. And if you choose to spend the night at Krait and Fangs’ bunker, they might have something going on too.

Lastly, a small but special feature has been added. You’ll know it when you see it, and it might be a fun little extra for some. >:)

The update had a number of different paths and picture variants. We are (still) catching up, and it might take some days. Here are the known issues still in need of fixing:

• The quest Courting the Crown might look bugged in the quest log if you haven’t romanced the Queen. (The new content is only for players who flirted with her earlier.)

• The living room part of Ain’s scene doesn’t yet have variations based on whether Fairy or Kateryna have joined.

Other than that, everything should be ready to check out. We hope you enjoy it - and as always, thank you for the support. This game wouldn’t be here without you, and I hope the new update shows again how much we care about it.
