VN Ren'Py Completed Chasing Sunsets [v1.10a] [Stone Fox Studios]

[BigBlueDude]

Good posts above by xapican and ename144 Missing some things though.
One issue with NTR is that the same story can get several opposing enjoyers of the exact same content to disagree with each other. Who you empathize with in the particular piece of content is the entire argument really. Another issue is the cultural aspect of NTR which is disregarded here in the west.

tl;dr NTR is a massive shitstorm because of it all boils down to individual person's own emotional interpretation of it, WHO is the MC, WHO should I emphasize with? And WHY? Its horrifically subjective to the point of absurdity with which details matter to each and everyone of us, just like human sexuality.

About the only consistent parts across all NTR works are the same two things: the emotional betrayal or the rape youre often not supposed/allowed to call rape. EVERYTHING else "factual" people try to put there are in fact details that can be changed based on each content piece's needs and are imaginary. For every damn attempt to make an objective rule over NTR there are counter examples and if you dont see them youre getting or seeking curated content. This is why its easy to be confused. Its very gendered first of all, also it looks like cheating and plain old cuckhold to the average person.

I dont know what y'all talking abt but as long as I can get some Lisa fun in this update I'm good.

 

[Razrback16]

Ya on the NTR topic, this thread has definitely described many variations quite well - for me, personally, in any given game, as long as I am given the option of kicking the girl to the curb if I feel like she cheated / betrayed me to any degree, then I'm good. Life isn't rainbows & unicorns, so if something like that does occur, I'm good as long as I can boot the girl and still re-engage with another potential LI, etc.

Its well known that most purchasers of porn games are there for the power porn fantasy, everything else really is secondary, any dev talk ive listened to says as much. Most people want the powerfantasy of being the one, The Man. Devs want to make money so common lowest denominator means avoiding anything that looks even close like to a female cheating on the MC no matter who or what or a reason why. Shit sucks for storytelling but what can we do?

The most interesting character in this game is Tara to me. What kind of fucked up character vices and drives is she eluding to having? Her chasing the sister and brother pair and being their firsts and all that. Shes got this air of being really special or messed up. Theres something weird and interesting character stuff going on there. I nurse a small hope of finding out that stuff in the next game.

 

[BigBlueDude]

Oh, and stuffing Lisa at every turn. Those eyes. God damn.

 

[xapican]

Gentleman I thank you for sharing your points of view, this was really a pleasure.
agree whole heartly what ename144 and BigBlueDude pointed out, Maviarab sumarized it very nice
The Dev should tell us the story how he likes it to be and how he imagined it, it is up to us to understand it,
So Kudos and really I looking forward to the next update, Good Job and damed good Story

I thought Mallory was the clone.

She is as well. Both were created in the same program.

 

[Penfold Mole]

She is as well. Both were created in the same program.

AFAIK, it hasn't been established yet. She doesn't have to be a clone. The egg was stolen from the cold storage of the lab by the same guy who cloned Mallory, but we don't know that she went through the same cloning process. Not yet, anyway.

is it possible to remove the pic of character from the text box? It's kinda annoying.

No.

 

[xCalon]

No.

Yes!

More precisely, without extract images in the *.rpa files: No!

But if you want to experiment, you can extract the image files with Renpy Unpacker, then you can find character pics in the game\images folder. All file in the name of cs_char_***_small.png is one of the character pics. I attach a rar file, it contains the Renpy Unpacker, and all cleared character pic.

Obviously, in the zero step, you must create a backup all *.rpa file.

Have fun!

An easy way to do it is to use the textbox editor in URM. You can toggle the side image off with that.

Since I do agree that the side image is somewhat distracting and covers up some of the background scene, I usually and mostly also do prefer to play games without it.
So I just made a

side image toggle switch patch for Chasing Sunsets

It doesn't modify any game files, so it's relatively safe to use, likely can be used simultaneously with most of the mods and other patches which are not trying to modify or replace the same screens (preferences and say screen) and is easy to remove.
It just adds a toggle button to Ren'Py Preferences menu (called 'Settings' in this particular game) for the side image.

# Chasing Sunsets v0.8 Side Image toggle switch patch by Penfold Mole @ F95
#
# Replaces Preferences menu screen with a copy of the same screen with an added toggle switch
# to switch off dialog side image. Default is off.
# Replaces say screen with a copy of the same screen with an added condition to show the side image.
# Does not overwrite nor modify original code. Likely can be used with future versions of the game, possibly some other games.
# Patch removal:
# Delete 'sideimg_toggle.rpy' and 'sideimg_toggle.rpyc' files in the 'game' subfolder to remove the patch. Restart the game.

How to use the patch:
Just extract attached zip-file into the main A.K.A. the root folder of the game, where the launcher files are ("Chasing Sunsets.exe", "Chasing Sunsets.sh") to use it. Restart the game.

It worked! Thanks.

as far as I understood, that would be called Netorase Netori (NTR ) the point that these terms are from the Hentai culture, and the abreviation is also NTR

(be aware that there are different definitions out there so better make your own picture)

and all the personal Interpretations and definitions of it, actually the most loved "apple of discord" on this site,
If you wan't to use a tag go by the site definitions of it would be my recomendation,

example: although felicemastronzo has a point in his explanation, I disagre in calling rape NTR, (don't want to discuss this)
not saying that he is wrong, only that for me with my mind and beliveings, principles etc. those are separete things.
Edit: The Senior Perv Say it out loud it was even a pleasure !
example happend to me writing confusing Netori with Netorase see text.

To add what's been told,

It is simple grammar rule for Japanese actually. If you look at the thing in Japanese language rules, basically:

Netori - present - is the act done by the first person
Netorase- causative - is the act done by first person within the the knowledge and/or permission of an another person
Netorare - passive - is the act done to first person without the permission of the first person

*Btw, these are noun forms of the verbs

another example

toru - take
toraseru - given permission to take
torareru - forcefully taken

P.S. for the causative verbs permission can be given by another person or first person depends on the sentence.

Fun fact: 寝取り(netori) is two verb merged to together. First one 寝る(neru) means sleep, lie down and 取る [toru(different one from the example)] means take, fetch; so word to word translation of netori would be taking rights to sleep with.

So if NTR is the abbreviation of netorare then there should be forcefulness in the act, not as rape or something but the act should be happen despite the first person, MC, does not want that to happen.
Or else NTR is the abbrevation of all 3 then cheating, sharing, cuckolding and pretty much everything related have a third party in a relationship would be under the banner of NTR.

Did the last update bring a fundamental change to the game, that we have to restart or something?
I haven't played this in almost exactly a YEAR, and none of my saves are active they are all corrupted or something, that I am getting a white error screen.
I figured it was due to me using a walkthrough/cheat mod, so I deleted the copy and unpacked a fresh one, still an unaltered version brings up the same screen.
So the question is, if everyone else is having no difficulties, how do I fix my error...maybe I will just replay it from the beginning again instead, its BEEn a year after all.

Did you make all those saves on the "Make a manual save here" or on the end-brief screen? I found that that is a big no-no. All my saves got corrupted. I had to rebuild my entire save structure.

 

[xapican]

No, not at all, I started with the version before last update, with WT mod and could play the last Update without any problems.
good to know what JosephH151 points out wasn't aware of that "small" detail.

 

[JosephH151]

It is generally advised to save BEFORE the last scene in the previous update, before a new update is released. Don't ask me why. It's probably due to the transition between the two updates or something

I believe this is a Ren'py spcific issue, so it could affect all games running on it.

When 0.8 first came out, I got that whole "unable to rollback" error when loading my saves. Me and one other player received this error (that I know of), and Stoya was perplexed by this, seeing as he hadn't heard of anyone else having this problem and unable to find a fix for it. I was running a clean version at the time. I guess some bad luck could be involved, too. It really sucked, though. I had this whole elaborate branching saves-setup in place. I had to re-make all of the saves from scratch.
