Desert Stalker 0.12b

Added 2023-02-06 21:49:52 +0000 UTC

Hey all!

So, the new update is here and it comes with a bit of information about the immediate future below!

In 0.12, we're taking a step back from the depressing wastelands and focus more on the MC’s household.

This update is shorter than the last one, and while there are no action cutscenes in this one, there is a good amount of hot content. We progress Rabiah's family quest, Fairy's side quest will finally branch into three different outcomes, and Ain gets two more scenes. Have fun!

Full version:
PC: Pixeldrain (0.12b)
Mac: Pixeldrain (0.12b)
Android: Pixeldrain (0.12b)

About the tiers:
Supporter tiers will get an overhaul after I'm back, like I previously mentioned. (Waiting for this update to drop before changing the subscription tiers seemed the fair thing to do.)

As I have said before, I had no real clue what I was doing when I made the tiers as they exist today, so I am moving things around to bring them more in line with what seem to be best Patreon practices. In essence, Legates will get the release after the beta testers. Stalkers three days after that. Three days later still, it will be the travellers’ turn. Travellers will also get the the SFW version of the monthly render. The rest will basically stay the same.

Also, I will finally change the billing cycle to 30 days after the initial subscription date as opposed to fixed start of month.

Plans for the next update:
As I've announced before, I will be abroad for several weeks for personal reasons, so I won't be around to post weekly progress logs probably until early March. This will also be my first break from doing these logs in a little more than two years now.

Once I'm back, I will start working on 0.13: Shani & the Queen. The next update will focus mostly on them. We will conclude Shani's adventure into the Zone and also get to visit Queen for an update about the current status of the missions (and other...things). I am looking forward to advance the main story to a place where we have more freedom to explore different things without being plot-bound.

Developing this game is a blast, and we're nowhere near done yet. Cycling through the characters each update gives me new motivation after each release, and I'm looking forward to fleshing the game out even more. As always, thank you so much for supporting me and giving me the tools to do so. :)
