No, I imagine the version number will be 1.0 or something similar when it's finished.
Thanks mate, I only looking forward to completed games. So I will bookmark this one.

Chasing Sunsets Chapter 9 Development Cycle 10 Update
Kentyrr and I have been hard at work on Chapter 9 since shortly after the Chapter 8 launch in November.
Obviously, the holidays are a busy time for us both, but that hasn't prevented us from hitting the ground running for the penultimate update to Chasing Sunsets!
Threads will continue to converge until the end of the chapter brings us to the threshhold of the story's long-awaited conclusion.
For those who would have liked more Mallory and Jaye in the last chapter, you'll be happy to know that they return with a vengeance in our next update!
Chapter 9, tentatively titled "Chain Reaction, returns the cast to the US with the inheritance resolved, but looming uncertainties ahead.
What was on that flash drive? Will Jaye or Mallory draw lines in the sand for their affections? Will others MC has met along the way make a play for his own?
Speaking as the storysmith, I can say with significant excitement that Chapter 9 will contain several scenes I've waited a very long time to see visualized.
As of this writing, we are nearly 300 renders and three scenes into Chapter 9 from a development perspective. We have a lot to wrap up in the last two instalments, so it's hard to know for sure what the total render count will be for the update overall, but we won't put a fork in it until we've achieved all of the worldstates necessary to deliver the endings.
Chapter 9 will also see UI and feature refinements, as well as represent the beginning of our modernization and refinement effort on dated animations.
I've begun music selection earlier in the cycle than usual, and have inquiries for song licensing out to several artists which I hope will come through.
With the finish line in sight, our motivation to stick the landing has never been higher!
We'll keep you all updated as the development cycle progresses, and don't forget to check the #Previews channel in our Discord for exclusive sneak peeks at what we've got in the oven for you!

it was of course predictable that the game's 2 LIs would have more space in the next chapter after being sidelined in the last one.Chasing Sunsets Chapter 9 Development Cycle 10 Update

But the announcement that the other encountered characters might also manifest is less comfortable. Liza and Tara we know are basically out of the picture. Fiona is really strange that aside from sending the dildo she has basically disappeared, so will it be mother and daughter's turn to come down the mountain? we shall see
The game is set to have 10 Chapters.
From the Dev
"There were originally going to be 9 chapters, but we ran out of runway, and decided to add a 10th. So Prologue + 10 chapters, or 3 to go!"
The game is on Chapter 8 (the 0.9a doesn't mean Chapter 9) so, not too long before the end.
Yeah, completed games have 1.0 or above (plus it having the completed tag) Just check out the completed games list.

Devs have suggested that apart from Jaye & Mallory, others who the MC has met along the way may make a play for the MC’s affections in the remaining chapters. Difficult to say who they could be referring to. Lisa & Tara jump straight to mind, but as both of them are to feature as LIs in the Dev’s next game, I think they can be ruled out. Others are not really serious prospects…Fiona fell off the radar long ago…nothing much developed with Kaili…Rinko’s pretty much been established as a friend with benefits…Linda’s content has been restricted to early game & according to Erica she’s rekindled her relationship with hubby. As for Erica, she’s not a deeply fleshed out character, and despite the suggestion in Ch 8 that she may well drop in to see MC in Boston, it’s hard to imagine anything big developing. So that leaves Amanda and Bianca. Hard to tell with Amanda… but she consistently gets content in the game, and if she keeps transitioning to “normality” and keeps working closely with MC in dismantling the insider ring, things may further develop between them. Bianca may well also be a candidate for making a play for the MC. She featured prominently in Ch 8 and her relocation to Boston at the invitation of MC will definitely set the stage for more interactions between them. One thing’s for certain … the next update won’t arrive soon enough!

Fiona in my opinion has every right to raid. She has been his bedfellow and has never been officially left

Huh they dont seem to have the friendliest of looks on their faces there. This could be from the path in which they both dump the MC...
You never know, it might be Ukraine sooner than you think
so the devs could be some kind of oracles that can see into the future

Annie from Last Call/To Be A King appears in CS when she talks to Mallory on the bench. She's the other girl with Heterochromia.

That was years ago. Who says she has a crush for MC after all these years? The thing with crushes is that they fade if the crush isn't around anymore. For the Jaye part Chasing Sunsets gave the vibe that the fooling around part between them ended some years ago. Why shouldn't Tara be able to have a relationship with someone other than MC and Jaye? She also doesn't give the impression that she's never had a relationship before. I don't think she's living a life of chastity into old age now just because her crush from her youth and her experimenter friend are off the market. If Tara ever saw them as part of her market at all. MC was her crush, but that didn't mean she wanted more from him than his body, and with Jaye it was obviously just some kind of extended masturbation between friends.
Why? Because MC looked at her?

Legit in my playthrough I didn't even get a chance to get scenes with her lol, didn't even try to avoid her.
For people that were able to get scenes with her, weren't there only like 2? And they were fuck buddy type thing I'm assuming.

Jaye and Tara have some kind of relationship that can easily extend to our MC. Of course, Tara's feelings for MC could have died out but she has also known him since their early childhood to adulthood and I can feasibly see an extension of Jaye and Tara's relationship with MC. It's even more feasible than Mallory and Amanda in my opinion as there are already connections between all parts MC, Jaye, and Tara.
Talking about Lisa, there is already a story between MC and her so it's easier to develop it here and end it than to extend the character to a new game. Same as Tara in my opinion.

The MC knew Tara more than 5 years ago.
She has reentered his life as Jaye's bestie but has never hinted at anything sexual since the end of high school before she drove the MC to the airport, early morning after the disaster of a graduation party.
In the next game, we will get to know Tara as an adult, versus the 18-year-old BFF of Jaye.
I'm not ruling out Tara (or Lisa) without learning her background - her identity - away from the MC and Jaye.
Who did she become since high school?
What trials did she face that have shaped her personality?
What are her dreams and goals and what has she done to help make them come true?
Once the devs start us on the journey and give us some of the answers to these and other questions, Then I'll know if, in my playthrough(s), Tara is someone the new MC will want to pursue as an LI (over or alongside other LI possibilities).
The same is true of Lisa who we have known for a far shorter time in CS.
If Sarah, the MC's brilliant mother, and his stepfather James, chose and kept promoting Lisa within their company, they had to see admirable characteristics that set Lisa apart and above many other men and women.
We've gotten to know very little about Lisa the woman in CS.
I'm a big believer in letting the devs develop the world and story in which each of the LIs live, then choosing the LI(s) who most resonate with me.
Tara and Lisa may not be your choices right now and perhaps halfway into the new project, this will change or it will not.
I trust the story telling of the devs and I am looking forward to learning more about Tara, Lisa and the other LIs as part of a compelling story with a new MC.
I'd be shocked if neither Tara nor Lisa turned out to be compelling LIs once I get to start enjoying the new project (sometime in 2025 - I'm guessing).
Cheers!!

This actually corresponds with a Chose Cece-ending in LoF and takes place at the beginning of the last chapter -- outside the hospital where she recovered from her second attempt -- a few days before Lexi's big concert (the conversation starts in the LoF scene and then cuts to MC).
