Welcome
It has been a long since the apocalypse. You play as a Desert Stalker who scours the violent remnants of an civilisation scattered through sand dunes and destroyed cities in what was once the former Egypt. The aftermath of the war still plagues the lands even after so long, and although your family at home offers a safe and calm haven, you will occasionally be thrown into harsher environments. How you treat others is up to you, as is what alliances you forge, what activities you participate in, and whether you are a self-centered or a more generous character.
Hey everyone, We are finally live! Desert Stalker is officially available on Steam, along with a brand new update.
If you want to support the game additionally, leave a review! It does help for visibility. :)
It has been a long journey so far, but we are really excited for what comes next and hope you stay around for the ride. Just as a side note: As already mentioned in the initial release post, future releases will (also for technical reasons) go through the usual earlier access period of becoming available through the different tiers before eventually going live on Steam.

The starting shot has been fired! More than three years have passed since the first upload, and now comes a new chapter on the most popular platform, and we are more than hyped to announce:
In case you have missed the recent development logs, we not just busy working on the new content, but also finish the final batch of reworked content to present a whole new, remastered and reworked game. From better renders to extra content, restarting the game will be worth it.
And all this will come in one big update for 0.17!
_________________________________
I'll try to answer some potentially common questions below, but if you have any other questions let me know:
Q: Will the Steam version content be different from the Patreon/SubscribeStar version? A: No, there will not be any additional or exclusive content across different platforms. Supporters on Patreon and SubscribeStar will continue to receive weekly development logs, monthly renders, and more opportunities to participate in the development process.
Q: Will the Patreon/SubscribeStar release schedules be affected after the Steam release? A: No, the release schedules will remain unchanged.
Q: Why "Early Access"? A: We've found that seasonal content works better with an on-rails narrative, which doesn't suit our game’s design since we don't have fixed story "choke points." That's why we've opted to release Desert Stalker in Early Access — it's a simpler and more fitting approach for our game.
Q: What will be the Steam update frequency/lifecycle? A: We don't expect to update the Steam version with every new release, due to the maintenance it would require and because we still want to offer early access as a benefit for our regular supporters. This will also give us time to include up-to-date translations for the Steam updates.
Q: Will the saves be compatible between versions (Steam vs Patreon/SubscribeStar)? A: That’s the goal, unless a specific technical issue prevents us from ensuring compatibility.
Q: Will the Steam release invalidate my current saves? A: The Steam release presents an opportunity to upgrade our engine to the next major version (our current Ren'Py version reached end-of-life last May). This means there’s a chance players might need to start over, but we will do our best to avoid that — either through in-game compatibility or by providing an export/import function. We’ll provide more clarity as development progresses.
_________________________________
A steam release is something that never crossed my mind back when I started, and I sincerely mean it when I say THANK YOU, each and every one of you, for making it possible through those years!
Happy new Year! Here comes 2024! The team wishes you a great start into the new year, light up the sky and preferably not your homes!
I will take this chance to not only show a neat character preview but also to tease the new content that awaits this game in the upcoming year:
Among other things, we will finally continue the mutants quest line in the next few updates, starting of course with a date at Ivy's hideout. And then, Fangs will eventually send us on a new mission, introducing us to more of her comrades. Expect more action and spicy interventions.
Also, as our new year's resolution, we have decided to publish the game on Steam in 2024! We are currently in the very early stages of planning, and aiming for a release in the later part of 2024 (Q2-Q3).
We will make a more in-depth post about it soon, with details about the roadmap and how we plan to do things. Right now, we can not remotely give you a solid date yet as I plan to visually upgrade earlier scenes to match the later parts of the game, fix loads of bugs and upgrade the overall quality of the game, and a Steam release provides us with this chance.
Lastly, I want to thank each and everyone of you for supporting the game throughout the years, whether it's on this platform or others. And thank you for sticking with us during the development periods.
