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

The question is not so much about being deceitful intentionally or by ignorance, it's about the fact that what he says about the game in his review is incorrect and needs to be either corrected or deleted because of that.
Reviews are being policed on daily basis whether you decide to help policing them or not. Because there have always been people here who either haven't read the rules or ignore them intentionally and are posting reviews that are either useless, wrong or deceitful on purpose.

There are too few mods on this forum to read every review or keep an eye on every thread and keep the forum from turning into a chaotic shithole. Reporting system is there to let the mods know about the obvious problems that would be left unnoticed otherwise. Forget about childish attitude from school about "snitching to the teachers". This is about keeping some kind of order here.

We're an adult community. We're expected to be smarter than stupid kids.
If we don't help the staff, we lose the right to criticise them if the rating system is being abused or threads turn into shitholes because of trolling or spamming or flame wars.

The problem is that, in this case, I don't see any glaring problems. Yes, the review was technically incorrect about the MC never being in any peril, but the peril only happens at the very end of the current build, 7 chapters in. It's entirely possible the reviewer never made it that far.

More importantly to me, the reviewer is clear in his criteria: he(?) dislikes the game because the MC is never in any danger. Since this game isn't presented as, say, a gritty noir adventure, I don't find that particularly surprising. But the point is if you are the sort of player who craves a constant sense danger I can see why Chasing Sunsets might not appeal to you. To me that's an indication of a useful review - even if the specific criteria in question are wholly useless to me.

The rest of the review is likewise clear in its critiques. The reviewer doesn't like having only two LIs, is annoyed that the story forces the MC still to be in love with Jaye regardless of our choices, and feels the MC's backstory involves him holding an idiot ball. Those are clear, defensible positions that can give a prospective player some insight into what sort of game this is. Sure, I disagree with most of it and think it could do a better job making its points, but a review doesn't have to be perfect to be valid.

IMHO the review should be left as is - though if we can call attention to the mistake about peril and persuade the reviewer to edit the original review voluntarily that would be good.

Just finished my first play through and mind blown! Never expected such ingenuity in taboo depiction(cloning, IVF). The game's really great keeps you engrossed and not just for fap. All the characters are likeable but Lisa and Bianca/Amanda+Mallory top the list. Each branch is engrossing with loads of fap material and some real stories. Keep up stone fox.

Dude, she fucked a girl. She ain't straight.

She can't be straight. If the science is right and the Biologists didn't lie to us the Homo sapiens sapiens aren't a "straight" species. The concept of heterosexualism appeared in most cultures as the monotheism accured 3000 years ago in the eastern mediterranean basin. If we look at our nearest relatives, the Pan troglodytes and the Pan paniscus, the human species is clearly bisexual. No matter which sex or gender. But don't say this out to loud. There're many people who can't handle this. Especially if they're part of a monotheist religion.

Dude they are cloning people, redesigning DNA, deleting sickness on alive adult person I am fairly sure they can find the genetic diseases on embryo and fix it. That is the least of their problem. Also, incest children having genetic disease certainty is a myth, sure it increase the potential but having a healthy one is still a high possibilty.

Brother and sister would have a higher chance of defects than cousins, and first cousins (in their healthy teens and 20s at least) are only roughly double the chance of non-related people. The younger the couple are when it happens the less likely it is to be problematic. It is (almost) solely tied to the age of the woman once you get past the recessive gene issues.

DEAR GODS MY EYES! Why white? For all that's holy in the world, WHY WHITE? Fuck's sake. Give that a dark red/maroon background or something that won't sear my retinas at 3am when it's my desktop wallpaper.

She didn't seem to know it was so, or maybe my understanding of English failed me.

Mallory's 'Dad' used one of Sarah's eggs to create Mallory. This was a guy who took obsession with a woman to a 'Whole Nother Level'!

He did not have her permission, but he seemed to think that science and the need to fulfill his obsession trumped everything else.

I would, but I can't. It won't let me vote because I use a VPN.

We all should use one.

 

[Nurikabe]

I'll admit that I tried to vote. But it kept telling me I can't do that when I am in incognito mode (which I am not).
It is a bit vicious to choose between Jaye and Bella. But... Jaye would win in my book.

Chasing Sunsets Dev Update #3 - Over the hump!

As the dog days of summer continue, Kent and I are plugging away at Chapter 8, which is shaping up to be even bigger than the last one.

As of today we're sitting at over a thousand images rendered, with four large and four smaller scenes left to go in development.

This is the point in the development cycle where we begin art and script integration and plan animations.

While we've been somewhat quiet, it hasn't been for lack of effort. We're at the point in development where we can see the light at the end of the tunnel, not only for the chapter, but for the entire project. This has been a tremendous amount of work, but it has been rewarding beyond words watching the fanbase evolve and our little proof-of-concept take flight.

Our focus at this point is in sticking the landing!

Once we have the game finalized, our intent is to "remaster" the Prologue and Chapter 1, as well as remake the earliest animations to bring them up to the same level as the more recent ones. After that, Kent and I will move on to Project Next, so stay tuned to hear what we have planned for our second project!

So, what can you expect from Chapter 8?

• The fallout from MC's encounter with Vince
• The outcome of the inheritance evaluation
• Deeper insight into Lisa and Bianca's lives
• The outcome of the Bandit gambit
• The thinking bench returns
• At least one easter egg with another popular AVN

The sale of the MV Sunset marks the end of our protagonists' time on Tonalu, after which they will fly home to face the outcomes of their decisions.

As always, expect updates to appear more frequently as we approach the end of the development cycle. Thank you for your patience, and giving us the time to do what we do!

Playing this from the beginning. And I think we should all take a moment to appreciate that moment of sheer, pure, unfiltered, raw teenage rage:

especially when combined with the music.

This game is amazing, have followed it since about Chapter 3 development and it just keeps getting better and better. Jaye is amazing but I still feel like Mallory doesn't get enough love....
Also we gotta have Tara retconned back to be a legit love interest!

I haven't see much of Jaye outside her childhood. I do like Isabella as well, great character. So I won't be voting.

I just got to the part where Anne from TACOS is on the plane and then she texts the MC later trying to get in to his pants. Is this just a cameo or is she part of the story?
