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

[balboa2151]

Their new title is called Firebreak

From the devs:

• We plan to keep the story in the same universe with some crossover characters from Chasing Sunsets
• We're looking at a different approach to episodic releases which will hopefully makes each update more self-contained
• It will feature a male MC
• While the game will be story-driven, there will be more potential LIs, including some who were not LIs in Chasing Sunsets

This is where we take some of the lessons we learned from Chasing Sunsets and apply them in a way that makes the long wait between updates more bearable.
We also recognize that while slow burns have their place, (we will certainly include them in Firebreak), these are called Adult Visual Novels for a reason. We thought a lot about a story vehicle to deliver more of that kind of content convincingly earlier in the game without cheapening or overcomplicating the relationships with ladies you may like, but find less interesting.
We're super excited to be approaching the end of one story, but even more excited to share that the tale of the friends we made along the way won't necessarily end with the last sunset!

100% this - there are a couple who, from this distance, are not on the same level as everyone else for me, but they are still great looking.

Now that pach 1.01 is out (and still fails to account for one world state due to a Ch7 bug) and Kent and I are enjoying our traditional week off from development, I thought I'd take a moment and post about the future of our first title. (v1.01 is available at the pinned download links.)

Here is the planned release cycle and what to expect with each:

v1.02 - Sept 2024: This will include bug fixes for all chapters, including the one mentioned above from Chapter 7. If this update adds new content, it will only be to patch bugged paths, such as Mallory still thinking she's on the casual sex path after MC has rejected her every advance in Ch6.

v1.10 - Dec 2024-Mar 2025: This will be our Epilogue Chapter. It will begin a few days before the scene in Walter's bar at the end of Ch9, and take the player through the outcome of the lawsuit. (Yes, there will be a trial) and then take the MC through the immediate outcomes of his ending, followed by a glimpse of his future. We are evaluating a mechanic that would allow the MC to have an incomplete look at what his ending might have looked like had he made different choices as well.

This version (the final chapter update) will be titled "Chasing Sunsets" and will also endeavor to tie up any loose ends, such as what happened to Vince if you left him alive, how that ring ended up on Jaye's finger at the end of Ch9, and most importantly, what happened to Hank the Wolf.
The final content update will certainly offer the player an opportunity to see some faces that have been absent such as Rikki, Bianca, and others. Each will have individual content, depending on choices made up to this point.

The points system will go away in the final chapter, and while there will be choices, they can affect pathing within that ending.

v1.11 - TBD 2025: This will be our final version, after which we will only patch the game if bugs are discovered, and it will be considered a completely finished product. This will focus on bringing legacy animations and art up to our current standard, refining dialogue, and possibly adding additional choices or providing a smoother experience navigating the relationship realities.

v1.11 is not expected to maintain save compatibility with previous versions, because new variables will be introduced and some legacy variables removed.

That's it in a nutshell. After taking a few days off, Kent and I will be burning the midnight oil to get this entire project into a state we can call "a job adequately done." We'll let you know periodically how things are going, and of course, watch the Previews channel for a sneak peek of what lies ahead!

As I wrote before there was no Lisa in the last chapter. I hope in the epilogue there will be something. I really missed it.

100% так — есть пара, которые, на мой взгляд, с такого расстояния не на одном уровне со всеми остальными, но они все равно выглядят великолепно.

По поводу эпилога и не только:

Из какой игры все эти девушки? Я знаю смысл Мэллори и Трис.. но из какой игры остальные девушки?!

I always get a bucket of horseshit thrown my way when i state most stories in VN's suck and i'm only here for the porn.
I don't read most of it and most of the time i skip to the hot scenes.
Saves me from the written bullshit.

edit: yes ik know dudes , Pornhub for me

People say that a lot, but porn isn't interactive.

By the looks of that preview image, I'm putting them all on the menu. Some with a higher priority, of course, but they all look good.

Based on looks, I'm interested in most of the ladies.

Tara and Lisa have a head start because they already have history with me.

That being said, I'm still looking for a very good/great story to enjoy and for the MC/LI relationships to have depth and meaning to them helping me to better prioritize several of the women over the others, based on this journey.

I know what a firebreak is, in terms of forestry, but this title feels like allegory.

So - Firebreak is allegory for what?

This will be part of the 'hook' that makes me want to unravel the mystery/pursue justice for example.

We'll have to wait for the devs to comment/tease about this over the next few months as part of the buildup to the initial Firebreak release.

Cheers!!

So, a firebreak is some kind of barrier that is used to stop the spread of a fire. Often it is done by using a controlled fire to clear the vegetation in the path of a wildfire.

How might this be used metaphorically? To stop the spread of a disease, as in a Covid outbreak or a zombie apocalypse. To stop the spread of a rumor. Any kind of mental or physical barrier that might stop a real or perceived threat - lots of possibilities in that one. How about: the MC has withdrawn from female contact because of a bad experience. Or is that too close to what we have in this game?

Might we be fighting fire with fire?

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

One other thing park rangers and foresters do is controlled burns - one of the ways to create those firebreaks.

The intent is to create firebreaks that are wide enough that a wind driven forest fire hits a break and it is too wide for it to jump to a new fuel source (or the firebreak is wide enough to buy the time to assemble the resources to isolate the fire).

So - the metaphor for something else is there, but we need more hints from the devs to narrow down What Firebreak is actually referring to.

Cheers!!

Can someone tell me the difference between the Stema version and v1.0? Apart from the fact that it weighs twice as much?

 

[ambitious1234]

does anyone have save file with all the endings?

 

[Mwrp]

That's one way to do Incest Ig

 

[TheWalkingChinko]

1st time playing a game that blue balls the MC so much, yet the story is entertaining.

Didn't know an infamous misogynist is in this game

Idk what i did wrong. Picked Mallory "love" choice every time, but after the MC plowed Mallory, she switched to "Mallory looks at MC as a friend". Great game, but I wish the choices were a bit more transparent. It is a long story, and it was disappointing that the MC ended up with one of the LIs I didn't like, despite my best efforts...

It's not updated ,and not the official Steam build either. Mods won't work with it either since it's also a different build compared to Patreon. Steam build is only 7.5GB, same size as Patreon.
