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

[Anteron]

Okay, fair enough. I had just heard forum talk that everything was done but alternate endings..

Not alternate endings - all the endings. You didn't get to see how any path ended - but for some retarded reason it got marked completed.

said (right at the beginning) that "the final content update for Chasing Sunsets is in active beta with general release anticipated during the week of July 14" - that's this week (today's the 19th), the last day of that week is Sunday (tomorrow).

im referring to this "
Quick Dev Update - Beta 3 has been scrubbed and I have three variable bugs to fix tomorrow. Sound, dialogue, and visual effects finalization is proceeding quickly. In the past few days, the phone widget has undergone an upgrade so it's much easier to tell who is speaking and things like phone-related choices can be executed within the interface. This will be retrofitted into prior chapters after Chapter 10 has launched as well. Some of the pathing has been reworked over the past couple of days in both minor and major ways. Some scenes have been moved around to break up areas that felt a little too linear. Additionally, a few additional scenes have been added toward the end. These are largely "clean up" scenes where we realized we had a loose end that could be tied up neatly at the cost of comparatively few renders. In some cases, paths have been tweaked to give them content that would originally only been visible on a different path. Two of the Peanut Gallery images were removed over copyright concerns (Erica wearing a Nirvana shirt) and replaced with alternates from Kentyrr's Tara stash. Several scenes have also been extended or augmented to better capture the personalities of the characters involved.

Our fourth beta will likely go out later tomorrow or early Sunday and will be our release candidate. Thanks again for your patience while we stitch the last bits together. "

Nah it looks to me like George beat you to it, they are clearly getting married here. Jaye got a glimpse of that monster between his legs and couldn't resist.

Can't quite decide between whether you are semi-smart enough to make a joke about it, or semi-dumb enough to not realize there is such a thing as a father (figure) walking the bride down the aisle. Either way,

Dont know from what Continent Stoya is from or this was pre written and just posted later, but at the time this was posted, later tomorrow / early sunday is the same time for me, so I could see an monday night-ish release for me

I believe they are US-based, and it was posted very late Friday night for US time zones. So "tomorrow" would have been Saturday.

I might just be missing something obvious but could some kind soul please help me out? (Spoiler Warning)


I was shooting for the Blended Family ending (Jaye + Mal poly) but seem to be messing up somewhere. I followed the recommended options using the walkthrough mod and that just ended with the MC being alone. I thought some of the choices seemed odd, but I was curious where the green options were leading, so I just kept going with it. Apparently they just led to being single! Specifically it led to an option to either 1) commit to Jaye, 2) commit to Mal, or 3) walk away from both.

So I fell back to an earlier save and tried different options but this time Mal broke up with MC after their cabin night together. I even used the Cheats and maxed out her points and it still happened. So I'm trying to figure out where exactly I went wrong and I have no clue.

The chapter screens said that I was in an open relationship with both Jaye and Mal, so I thought maybe that's what was causing Mal to eventually bail because she wanted more (so did I, girl, but I can't figure out how to get there! ). So I tried going back even further and formally committing to both in separate scenes, which seemed like a bad idea to me but I thought maybe I'd just misunderstood, but nope, that just led to an early game over.

I don't usually have this much trouble navigating VNs but for some reason this one has just turned into a labyrinth for me.

Because you are using logic and common sense and trying to get there by being open and honest with them both. That's a mistake here.
This is a rough guide of how to get to the poly ending.

1. After first sex with Mallory, tell her it's just to help her.
2. Do romance path with Jaye
3. When Jaye is upset choose "what's wrong" and then "phone a friend".
4. When you leave Cabin with Mallory tell her "I wish things were different."
5. When you have sex with Jaye at George's house you need at least 95 love points with Jaye & at least 80 with Mallory.
6. If you've met all that, Jaye will offer you the choice of Mallory only joining a Poly relationship (not a throuple).

If I remember correctly, there are two big decisions where you are with Mal, but you don't commit in either. Also, the other stuff with Jaye is the same as a Max love route. The decision where you are talking about your mom in the hotel bed together, and in the morning scene after her big sex scene where you also don't 100% commit.

Do NOT follow the mod walkthrough. It is not set up for you to get the poly path. Ignore what it suggests and follow the steps Justaphase just listed.

I only have a Jaye save so far, but now that the game will be finally finished I might play the other routes, so thanks for that.

That is the most issue asked on this thread and answered and given resumed walkthroughs number of times, including myself. Shouldn't be hard to find answers if you search on the thread something like "poly" or "Jaye+Mal" (make sure you put on your preferences for searches appear from latest time order). Disregard this since Justaphase already gave you a resume while I was typing this hehe.

The walkthrough mod isn't informative enough in saying what choices are better for a particular path/ending, there are 5 paths/main story endings, solo Jaye, solo Mal, Poly Jaye+Mal, Throuple Mal+Amanda and alone. Best in depth walkthrough around is the pdf walkthrough from Mr Bubu but even that one you need to go from the end of it and backtrack the variables. But the post above mine from Justaphase give you a good resume of the main steps.

What was I thinking?!? Porn must have truly warped my brain

Jaye will offer you the choice of Mallory only joining a Poly relationship (not a throuple)

What is the difference (in this context)? To me a "throuple" would imply a "closed circle" threeway-commitment that's an actual "relationship". I thought that's what the case would be between the three of them, but, no?

Apparently lol!

Yeah first I searched "Blended Family" because that's the name of the achievement. Then I tried "both" thinking someone might have asked how to end up with both Jaye and Mal, but that brought up nothing too so I just said "fuck it, I'll just ask". I do usually try to Search for things first but I guess my search-fu skills aren't very strong lol

Thanks for the guide!

Indeed! Thank you!

It's specified that there will be no interaction between the girls - so they won't indulge in lesbian acts without MC, and they also won't be having threesomes. So essentially you are in two individual relationships at the same time, with the blessing of both girls.

 

[RabidSloth]

If you've met all that, Jaye will offer you the choice of Mallory only joining a Poly relationship (not a throuple).

Oh wait do you mean it's poly as in there's MCxJaye and MCxMal sexytimes but no Jaye+Mal sexytimes? If so then while I'm sure there are guys who prefer it that way to me that's pretty disappointing ah well.

Edit: just saw your answer, yeah. That sucks. Sad face. Not going to bother then.

Well I'm no expert but I think that polyamorous is used here rather than throuple because Jaye says that she is ok for the MC to have a relationship with Mallory also, but no threesomes. Let's see if that changes during the epilogue. Fingers crossed!

polyamorous for me would mean all parties are involved with each other... I don't really care much about the label itself though, but would like to see some interaction between the girls too

Well even this render gives me hope that they may end up doing stuff together, but I've learned to not get my hopes up too high. Especially where the Jaye and Mallory poly path is concerned.

 

[pitao]

Its when this questions about how to get the Jaye+Mal poly main story ending that I miss more Sancho and his mods, its a pity he went MIA and didn't finish it because I'm sure he would make a kick ass informative mod to reach each of the paths like he did on BW. Very few modders bother to give information on the choices that lead to this or that particular path.
