Hi. I think you missed my previous post where I had explained that I had managed to somehow delete my entire VN/games folder.
You deleted your backup saves to? In the hidden directory?
Is it hidden? I didn't think it was.

In any event, Poser, Sons is right. If you're still on the same Windows install, all your old save files still exist. Pop open a file explorer window and type in %appdata%\RenPy, it'll take you to the folder with all your stuff.

Yes, by default on windows your appdata folder is hidden. For me, I unhide folder/files, just the way mine is because a lot of games and apps put things there and I always dig around in it. I think that is a reason Ren'Py puts them, most user don't know that folder is there...

I've had tons of users tell me after I showed them they have like 1-5GB (or some cases 10GB or more :ROFLMAO: ) of saves for every single Ren'Py game they played.

I think that's where my confusion spawned in. Believe it or not, my current OS install dates back to 2014. One of the first things I did was unhide files/folders/extensions. I updated it from 8.1 to 10 a few years ago just to get familiar with it for one of the jobs I was doing (wanted some familiarity), but it's all the same original core install. This stupid image has persisted from my Core Quad (Q6600), across an i7-920, i7-970, i7-7700k, and now the R9 3900X. Soon to be an R7 5800X3D, unless my colleague was serious about just giving me his 'inferior' system, in which case it'll bump up to a 7800X3D. Either way, woohoo!

I doubt there are too many dorky folk hanging about here who still have email records from the late 1990s/early 2000s. I'm just a damned data packrat (and I hate doing OS installs).

edit: just checked, because you made me curious. Only 1.47GB of VN saves!

Hi. I managed to stupidly delete my AVN / games directory. Thankfully for many VN/games I was able to retrieve either current version or previous version from my waste bucket. Unfortunately not Chasing Sunsets. I had a couple of questions.

Firstly does anyone have saved files from Chapter 6? JokerLeader seemed to suggest best starting from Chapter 6 "to get the best choices for Harem Route".

Secondly would you recommend Sancho1969 's MultiMod or JokerLeader 's Walkthrough & Cheat Mod??
If I am going baack to Chapter 6, I figured I could restart this VN at Chapter 6 with either Mod.

Thanks
Both modders are excellent and both mods work well. My personal choice for this game was Sancho1969.
I prefer Sancho's It's more indepth.
I agree, Sancho's Mod is a more complete experience.

Could somebody explain what might be behind last ch8 scene?

I took that scene to mean that the lab worker was careless and performed the DNA test on the wrong sample.

That does not guarantee a different answer when/if the right sample is tested - which leaves us with a Jaye DNA cliffhanger heading into CH 9.

Cheers!! :coffee:

Damn! I really hope for a good story being made for this. I felt little disappointed when Jaye told that test was negative, and also had impression that she hoped for different result.
I find MC/Jayce relation beautiful, and perfectly stretched, without making it boring. I guess not everyone agrees with me, but it would be incredibly romantic if they eventually found out that there is something more special to them, concreting their relation forever, and also giving some explanation for MC "prophetic" dream before she called him for first time.

Not gonna lie, their whole story made me drop more than few tears.

How can I play these scenes? I can't make reveal them after tactical retreat scene.

View attachment 3120316
These scenes open only if you are in a relationship (intimate or open) with these girls. If you're in an open relationship with Jaye and Mallory at the same time, then you can open both of these scenes in one go.
And remember that you can't be intimate relationship with Jaye and Mallory at the same time, otherwise the GAME OVER!

Does anyone have a save file to upload with a relationship route?

I know nothing about hidden directories.

I had created a folder within my documents, to which I saved all of my VN / games. I somehow deleted this entire folder. I was able to recover some VN / games, NOT Chasing Sunsets. As I explained before.

That's not what I'm saying though. Ren'Py by default creates two/2 "save directory's".

One where your game is actually at, and one in your appdata folder that is hidden. The only way those saves file can be deleted is if someone unhides those folders and goes to Users\*Username*\AppData\Roaming\RenPy and delete them or formats their computer.

Every Ren'Py game you've ever played has save files located there.


I think that's where my confusion spawned in. Believe it or not, my current OS install dates back to 2014. One of the first things I did was unhide files/folders/extensions.

Well, this is mine even with a purge a few months back....

Ok do the windows key + r and type this in %Appdata% in the bar that popped up, Then scroll down to the renpy folder open that and scroll down a bit until you see the folder ChasingSunsets with a long chain of nr next to it. That is where your saves files are


if you are windows ofcourse because on Mac you can't right click with a purpose
