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

[doovel]

This has given me a good chuckle this morning. "There's no closure to the Tara path. Tara just disappears after the airport pick-up." etc...

You know who else just disappears after the airport? George. But no one is complaining about him, because no one wants to fuck him There's no Tara path. There's no indication of anything to close with Tara. It's clear from the pick-up scene (and before, frankly) that there's nothing there. Both Tara and Jaye spell it out anyway, but they don't even need to do that. Anything that happened was in the past, and now the relationship is friends only as opposed to friends with benefits. Romantically, it was never anything more than that.

No one is complaining about that because we're all afraid of el Jorge.

I know what you mean. Tara was (maybe still is) in love with MC, but she was going to keep those feelings bottled up and never act upon them. The only way to win Tara would be to break up with Jaye, which would you lose you Tara anyway for hurting Jaye. A circle that there was no way out of.

PS. I suspect Lisa has thought about George a few times since the unexpected reveal.

The Mc, Jaye and Tara throuple makes more sense that the potential Mallory and Jaye one. The emotional investment the three of them have in growing up together and Tara being Jaye's best friend and quasi-lover makes no sense having her in the next game. At least that's the hill I'm willing to die on.

The emotional investment the three of them have in growing up together and Tara being Jaye's best friend and quasi-lover makes no sense having her in the next game. At least that's the hill I'm willing to die on.

I would go the other way. There are three people involved in a throuple, and they all have to be partners in it. Jaye and Tara have both stated they are not interested in this, and something that happened years ago isn't a good reason to say it makes perfect sense now.

The Jaye and Mallory relationship... there are two points here. One, the three are all close now, in the present. MC has (potentially) been intimate with both women, there are strong feelings on all sides - including Jaye and Mallory getting a lot closer and feeling like family. Two, it's actually polyamory rather than a throuple, so it doesn't matter if there are romantic feelings between Jaye and Mallory, as they are not set to be involved (Jaye clearly spells this out when offering the option). As marked in the character cards at the end, Jaye's/Mallory's love is "strong enough to explore polyamory". They love you enough to want you to have the other in your life, so long as you remain committed to both girls.

I would agree it makes 100 times more sense as a throuple, but Jaye doesn't want a throuple. She doesn't want any sexual partner but MC, and she wants a family. Mal is family, Jaye is not threatened by her and really wants her to be around. She knows there is love between them that is a different love to what Jaye & Mal have. She also makes it very clear, that MC is going to have to work and ensure both of them always feel the center of his world. It's not the way I would have thought it would go, but listening to Jaye, I understand where she is coming from and what she wants. Jaye has got the Poly relationship she is happy to have, not the throuple we all hoped for. As long as MC remains committed to both of them and no one else.

Of course, this could all change in the next update.

yeayy maybe.. not quite
because i just like her then jaye or mel overall
is there jaye & tara ending?

Many times it has been said there is no Tara ending.
Tara was a supporting character, she was used to help the MC and Jaye get together. She took care of Jaye's desire for the MC, which Jaye did not return to Tara (it was one sided). She tried to keep the MC from leaving even giving up her virginity to do so.
She then told the MC she would never have sex with him again, it was a one time thing. She explained what was going on between her and Jaye and that they were just friends and nothing else.
Towards the end of the VN Jaye make it clear she is not into women at all, once again showing that the Tara thing was one sided.
This is a VN about the MC, Mal, and Jaye. The tally screen makes this perfectly clear.

I seen in a post a few spots down about Lisa and the lawyer, I doubt Lisa is in him. She all but panics when she finds out she has to ride with him in a cab at the airport, but you never know.

That was me. And my tongue was firmly in my cheek when I wrote it. 100% sarcasm.

 

[BigLurker]

Downloading. Haven't finished it, but last time I played, a couple of months ago, there was no ending in sight. Is it rushed or is my assumption wrong?

 

[PaxHadrian17]

So since the beginning I used a mod for the best path, just finished and I ended up with women scorned ending? wtf?

Look one post above yours.

It seems like the mod variable was not set correctly - likely resulting in a bad ending.

Let the mod creator make the correction and, along with the upcoming patch - see what happens at the end.

Cheers!!

I wonder if that's why the threesome with Amanda felt so discordant; the devs got near the end and realized Mallory's path felt too threadbare compared to Jaye's option to have the cake and eat it to, so they hastily wrote Amanda into Mallory route more for logistical reasons than for character ones.

I suspect it's more of a case that the writers just can't grasp the idea that one man's treasure is another man's trash. It's completely inconceivable that a player could find their favourite characters to be unattractive.

They see Amanda as a sexy and charismatic person, so it must true for everyone. Who wouldn't want to get molested in their sleep by her? Why wouldn't a player who is rejecting everyone else in order to romance Mallory want her to suddenly make out with Amanda and tell the MC that she wants to open up their relationship in order to fuck her best friend that she's apparently been in love with for years?

It's just like how Jaye would do wildly inappropriate things like spy on you in the shower, rub against your crotch when you can't say anything to stop her, and steal your journal to masturbate on your pillow while she reads it. They thought it was sexy and fun, while I thought it was creepy and unhinged.

Perhaps I'm being too harsh here. We did have that one really good scene early on where you confront Christian on the boat and we had several different choices on how to deal with the situation that Jaye manufactured, including two different choices to be rather harsh with Jaye. I chose the one where you beat him up and then don't return Jaye's hug as we tell her that we did it for our parents and not for her. And for a very short period of time there, it looked like the game was going to have a proper path where you wouldn't reconcile with Jaye and just move on from her instead. But that didn't even last the length of that update, because Jaye sits the MC down in his room for a talk and the MC takes the blame for everything while she pretends that she never knew why he stopped playing with her for a day and a half as a child.

Well, "El Jorge" is really something. I'm impressed, bro.

 

[All_humans_are_a_family]

That's why I just bought a PC, costs more than Joiplay but easier to deal with and works every time unless the AVN itself is just plain buggy or not made for PC.

I already have a PC, it's just that It's risky to play nsfw game on pc when you have roommates who can enter anytime without knocking. I prefer playing this kind of game in my android

You can use latest joiplay with renpy plugins from august update. Initially, I was having the same bug, but it works now.

If you mean the 1.20.530 update then I have the joiplay. I guess I have try with the new renpy plugin too

Uhhh, no. People aren't complaining about that because George DOES appear in the chapter:

A better comparison might be Lisa, who only appears on a phone call if the MC pried into her family business last time. But that scene was specifically about providing closure for Lisa's arc and people definitely want to fuck her, so even that argument doesn't hold up well.

To be fair, the devs did recognize - at least on an intellectual level - that people could turn down Jaye because they made a solo-Mallory path possible. It does all too often feel like they did that more for an extra achievement than out of any sincere belief people could actually disapprove of Jaye.

And don't even get me started on Amanda's latest antics. @#$%@$% sex offender.

Just an FYI: the reason the Steam build in the OP is twice the size of the standard game is because it has content packed for both PC and Mac. So no need to download, as it won't offer anything new.

I think you missed my point there, but I'm not sure if it was an intentional miss or not. Just in case, it's more that people are pissed they didn't get scenes with Tara because they read the signs wrong and expected that a Jaya/Tara threesome was locked in.

 

[Content_Consumer]

I literally only downloaded the update because it said completed. It isn't.

Besides anything else, there are so many story points unaddressed.

Just wait for the next 3 - 5 new games and until they are completed, you'll be 100% satisfied then, if you are still able to fap!
