Dev log 23.03.25
🕑 Added 2025-03-23 18:12:31 +0000 UTCI’ll have to delay my release prediction by a week! That ominous queen scene is taking some time to get right, and as you can see, Ain needs a moment to wrap her... head around it too.
The other screenshots might be less relevant to you, but they show changes made to the containers during Asani's reencounter back in 0.06. Instead of finding an almost magically preserved pickup, you'll come across a deserted scrapyard settlement where scavengers had been tinkering with all sorts of things before abandoning it. I've been meaning to do this since 0.07, and it only took about ten hours (or one workday) to rework, thanks to copy-pasting environment settings.
Hope you're all doing well! I really appreciate the recent hype in the comments! Version 0.18 won't disappoint - we should be ready in the first or second week of April!

First screenshot looks delicious.

No worries at all, Zetan! That queen scene sounds like it’s going to be intense, so take the time to make it shine. The scrapyard update sounds way more grounded and atmospheric too—love the direction it’s heading. Super hyped for 0.18, appreciate all the effort you’re putting into it!
Desert Stalker
<3 thank you, and I don't think it's worth it starting over for those two scenes, they're primarily visual reworks, no complicated ones like the decayed one with shani and mc. That scrapyard settlement is almost 1:1 too except for the addition. Still I appreciate it ;)

I hope to have more scenes of Asha, which is exciting. Thanks to the author's contribution.

I can't wait when the whole game is completely reworked...finally another reason to play through the game again from the beginning. The real reason I ask is that you've been delivering insane quality in the latest updates. The story and setting are just brilliant and the characters are great. The ladies are beautiful, sexy and have interesting characters. Coupled with the updated graphics, DS is a pearl among ABNs. By the way: I finally have DS on Steam, as I was able to buy the key via itch.io. Many thanks for that.

The scene enhancements are amazing, and really bring those scenes to life. I'm looking forward to seeing them play out in (yet another, lol) playthrough.

As always I trust your judgements when it comes to delays, so do what you think is needed. Although I don't think she will be part of the upcoming episode, I hope we get to see more of Red in the (near) future. Which could be a short story line, but a repeatable event would be kewl to.

Take all the time you need. 👌
Desert Stalker
yep, the only thing that's left is that ain/zahra massage scene. However it's so old and outdated, it will be put in as a new scene entirely eventually.

I respect your attention to detail and commitment to delivering a good story - that's one of the things that also leads to this game's h scenes being so good!

Krait is smoking hot with two different color eyes, hope to see more with her involvement In the future. 😊

Hey Zetan. As always thank you for the dev log. If one thing is sure besides your Sunday's dev log, then it is that your game updates won't disappoint! With that said, have a nice Sunday and as always, keep it up!
Lilatentakel
Hello Zetan, thanks for the DevLog. Unfortunately I don't have much time today because I still have a lot to do, but at least I wanted to thank you for the update. Just one quick question: will the next update complete the overhaul? Regards
