VN Ren'Py Completed Chasing Sunsets [v1.01] [Stone Fox Studios]

[yossa999]

I like Mallory and my first playthrough was her route. But I couldn't shake the feeling that the authors wrote her storyline on a secondary basis. It's as if they didn't actually believe that she would be popular enough to give the redhead beauty a good run for her money. So it feels like for the sake of the release schedule, all the best bits of the plot went to Jaye and the leftovers to Mallory.

Just watch the prologue of the main story. This is a touching story of the innocent childhood love of two half-siblings, paralleled by a romance between their parents that develops into a happy marriage. Authors constantly play with the emotions of readers, emotionally attaching them to the characters. First love, first lust, first jealousy, feeling of betrayal, misunderstanding, tragedy, feeling of powerlessness, I want to tap on the keyboard to get through to this idiot MC "Just talk to her, moron!"

The MC's stupid escape, which lasted for many years. When the adult MC returns to the city and meets Jaye after these years, all those feelings and emotions that the authors carefully planted in the reader’s mind in the prologue, come to the fore. They have a long shared history.

And what about Mallory? Yes, they had a few moments when they saved the wolf cub and later, but this is a good basis for mutual sympathy, maybe for a fling, but this does not compare to his love story with Jaye. Yes, Mel gets her little bit of a childhood drama later on in the intro about her and Amanda, but again, it looks a little dull compared to the MC and Jaye's story.

It is difficult for her to compete with Jaye for the sympathy of readers given such unequal starting conditions.

Joke aside , it is very difficult to choose between many Gorgeous beloved girls Jaye Mal Lisa Tara

 

[Barrazin]

Nah, it's easy.

Jaye all day.

Since of four only two are wooable I would say it's pretty straightforward

You're saying that as if we could choose Tara... (or Lisa, for that matter).

 

[xapican]

If there is something I like more than readheads It's blackhaired girls like Lisa, but I wouldn't throw out of bed neither of them to be honest.

I am waiting for any Lisa scene we get in this update.

"Better keep enough gas in the tank to keep us both fed, then."

Yeah I can't wait

 

[Flowing Thought]

I'm hoping the Lisa scene we get is glorious. There is also the next game to look forward to where Lisa and Tara are both LI. Hard to pick between Jaye, Lisa and Tara, all are wonderful.

Not like you can choose Tara or Lisa as your main love interests.

Sorry , I play for Jaye and Mal but I am sure that in early pages ppl are making competition between Jaye and Tara and who is the best , and Mc have sex scene with her , So I think she can be LI , NO ?? and why Not ?
But NO Lisa That is unfair

 

[Lumiscnt]

Amanda is annoying so a throuple with her looks shitty. Yeah if it was a Jaye/Mallory throuple then I wouldn't mind.

What's your left signature from?

 

[Lumiscnt]

Last I checked discord, which it was a while ago, middle of October was the goal. Don't know if something changed.

Where is your signature from?

Just so. The devs clearly built the game around Jaye, to the point that even if the MC rejects her he's still allegedly in love with her - just too scared or too dense to act on it. Mallory was only included because they knew the game needed more than one LI, partially to give a token choice for playability, but mostly so they could tease the possibility of somehow getting both girls.

To their credit, Mallory is a good character in her own right. They could have, and IMHO should have, let her stand on her own and left Amanda as another side-girl. Instead they made Amanda a crucial part of Mallory's romance in a misguided effort to justify the eventual threesome. Not one of their better decisions.

I only started playing this game earlier this year, but after extensive reading in this thread and some other places I came to the conclusion that Tara was only a one-time thing in the past and Lisa is only a fling in the present time.
You can't choose Tara or Lisa as real LIs in the game, but only Jaye and Mal. In fact, I'm not even sure there's a chance we will see another sex scene with Tara in the future or if that flashback super early in the game was the only thing we'll ever get to see with her in this game. Have the devs explicitly commented on this?
Anyway, Tara is almost forgotten in the story despite the very important role she played in the past and the fact that she's still Jaye's best friend.
Jaye is my favourite, so I'm good in that regard, but Tara is my second favourite girl and I believe her role in the story is disappointing and a wasted opportunity. It would have made much more sense than Amanda's involvement on Mal's path, in my opinion.
I won't even touch on Tara and Lisa's being LIs in the next game; that's... indescribable.

 

[Nurikabe]

All of the women in this game are attractive. It is unlikely and difficult for a dev to put unattractive characters in games. Much like a movie or TV show, you rarely see an unattractive person unless they have something specific to offer. It is funny reading all the comments about how horrible it is that <my favorite LI> was screwed over by the devs in this story. I keep waiting for a legitimate critique of the story and its characters that doesn't involve ridiculous bias.

The story is about the MC and Jaye. Everyone else is secondary to the story. If the story were about how the best friend and MC should've been together, Tara would have a bigger role. If the story were about how the MC fell in love with the CEO of his parents' company, then Lisa would be the focus. But this is "the story of step-siblings reconnecting and dealing with the fallout of their parents' unexpected deaths." Not the story of how step-siblings deal with the fallout of their parents' unexpected deaths and meet an intrepid reporter and she changes their lives!

Yes, Mallory is secondary in the story. She is a love interest but not the focus of the story. She plays a major role in the telling of a story about two siblings coming to grips with their parents' death and how they are thrust into running a major corporation together. Despite Mallory being secondary, a good amount of the story concentrates on the feelings growing between the MC and Mallory and how she fits into the corporation run by the MC's parents. But that isn't the story. This is a love story about Jaye and the MC.

Now, there is something off about the Mallory/Amanda/MC relationship. It does feel a bit forced. Although, Amanda's personality and life experience play well into the awkwardness. It doesn't quite explain everything and many players are left with the feeling that something is not quite right. I do not believe that is because Mallory is secondary in the story or that the devs did not focus more on her character development.

I would love to see some honest critiques of why the secondary characters should be the primary story. Something other than, "She's my favorite."

Because she is not wearing heels!

You are Probably right or may be she goes to Paris who gone for ever.

It's amazing how fit and athletic their bodies look. They will certainly make a great Olympic team.

So , what you mean is that "the primary Main girl in a game should be the one and Only Li " , Right ?

But that is Not Fair... Unfair... Fair NOT , please dear Dev Have Mercy
and BTW I play many Unique Great games in which there is a main character Girl the whole story is built on her but she is NOT the only LI in the game and the game goes very smoothly , SO WHAT ?
