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

[Canto Forte]

Well .. for the longest of times ... MC has no agency, being driven by the nose by both parents and Jaye,
their puppet on a string.
Talk about having a single mother who gets sweeped off her feet by a stranger nobody,
but all her advice about Jaye was - none: she went with the chad command of her husband to simply ignore Jaye.
Solid parenting advice, y”all!!! Ignore the girl you live with so she would ... what? Move away? Dissapear? Get Taken 3?
MC has just one mark on the family is his fit and his rage and his departure. Then, he can choose not to save Jaye and kill this game. That about sums up all his choices in the family matters.

But it's not your choice. It's Jayes's and Mal's. Even when the "love points" are high enough, it doesn't mean both are okay with sharing the same guy. It seems to be okay for them when several events happened, but we can't know this. This game isn't completed now. The epilogue will tell us how this will work out. At the current end they're only willing to try.

yea not completed, but road to this throuple is not so good. Outta nowhere in last chapter Jaye is interested in it? there is no a real build up for this. Girls should discuss that thing with each other first. Not to mention MC is forced to put Mallory in friendzone to get that option. That also means he is not interested in her - friends forever. So this scenario really no make any sense
Open relationship should be the only right route to form this throuple

 

[Flowing Thought]

Feels like having no throuple at all would have lead to fewer people being unhappy.

Well to even get the "throuple" option you have to have enough love points with both Jaye and Mallory. Also pick "If things were different" in the new update, which does suggest that he IS interested in her.
I did think/hope that things would play out differently though. I thought that the path to the throuple would come from being in an open relationship with both. I hoped that Jaye and Mallory would start kissing, when they pin eachother to the bed would have been hot and the perfect opportunity, then maybe fool around when they shower together. If they aren't ALL doing stuff together I'm not even sure how things would or could work out. Do they all share the same bed? Does Mallory get the MC every other night?
Every other throuple I've particularly enjoyed in AVN's Josy and Maya from Being a DIK, Heidi and Athena from Bare Witness. Everyone has been intimate with eachother so for me it feels more natural. If anything it's been the MC asking if there is a place for him in THEIR relationship, then all deciding to try a polyamorous relationship.

Girls should discuss that thing with each other first. Not to mention MC is forced to put Mallory in friendzone to get that option. That also means he is not interested in her - friends forever.

Well actually, it doesn't mean that. You can want both, but choose one, and that doesn't automatically mean that you are not interested in the other. In this scenario, you are interested in both, but you have to choose one, and you pick Jaye. If you play the game right (for this ending) Jaye loves and trusts you enough, and loves Mallory enough, to offer the opportunity to bring her into your relationship. It's entirely possible that the girls have discussed it in advance, as they have been spending a lot of time together and have both admitted that the other has become only their second real friend. Most of that is off-screen, so anything could have happened during that time.

Personally, I think that, although it could have been done differently, this ending works well. It's more realistic than just "I want all the girls, and oh look, I'm going to get all the girls."

I think the issue here is that people are looking for a throuple (I'd like that too, don't get me wrong) but that's just not on the cards. Jaye in particular is not interested in that. So you can have a relationship where you are with both Jaye and Mallory, but they will not be involved with each other. It's not a throuple, so we shouldn't be comparing it to one and saying it's therefore bad in comparison.

Finally played the latest chapter myself. I was actually worried that my "canonical" run (which is dedicated to SGs while being a good friend to the MGs) would disappoint me as nobody here mentioned such a run having any content, but it turned out pretty good. I had a blast playing it while good ol' Sweet Home Alabama was blazing in my headset (and I kek'd hard when the game itself made a reference to the song , what a coincidence), Jaye, Mal and Amanda were great friends and tons of fun despite me having refused all of them earlier, Lisa hinted that she might consider getting more serious with the MC, so…
Yeah, I'm pretty happy with the update! The absence of an epilogue is certainly glaring, but it is planned and in the works, nothing to worry about.

 

[th3pun1sh3r]

will they be a season 2 ?

 

[Justaphase]

will they be a season 2 ?

As far as I know there won't be a season 2 of Chasing Sunsets. Their new project is called "Firebreak" and while some of the side chicks (Tara and Lisa) will be main girls (i think) in the new game with a new MC.

 

[felicemastronzo]

all these polyamorous relationships, so common in AVN, are almost always fan service, they rarely really make sense.

But I can't understand how it makes more sense when you first declare yourself for a passionate and possessive girl like Jaye (who suffers from jealousy even reading about MC and Tara) and friendzoning an insecure girl, especially sentimentally, like Mallory.
except if the reading key is the usual one: in love they do stupid things, they are young etc..

but surely the epilogues will clarify everything

 

[Lethal Flourish]

"This is the end. Beautiful friend. This is the end. My only friend, the end."
Edit: Dang now I have to go listen a bit of The Doors haha

Damn I thought there's gonna be a season 2 or something . I assume not all the characters have an ending

 

[Tremonia]

I see, so the third party literally gets no choice? The MC doesn't have a say in this?

He had a choice and made them with the open relationship. Jaye and Mallory accepted until the point Mallory don't wanted it anymore. So, what should MC have to do? Beat her up until she agrees or falling on his knees and whining like a puppy and pleading? Players have to accept that, like in real world, some things aren't just their call.

In the end I liked the ‘final‘ update. The few animations they do really are top tier, the Jaye riding one a couple of updates ago and the one from this episode are great. Main complaint is there are far to few.

I tend to agree with those commending here the decision to make the polyamory ending only available if you skip two of the major sex scenes with one of the characters is simply bizarre. I get the logic of it needing to be Jaye’s idea but you can still get to that through the thrupple choices.

Main complaint is the lack of a threesome. Fingers crossed for the long shot three way in the final chapter or whatever they’re calling it.

Actually, Jaye makes it quite clear she is not into that (threeway with Mal), or anyone else for that matter. She is also only allowing Mal in, no one else at all. I am guessing Tara is pretty much out of the picture as her lover too.
The ending (current version) feels a bit rushed. He says he'll talk to Mal and you are suddenly in a bar with them both. I feel like there was a whole skip where he would talk to Mal and then they would all talk and Mal and him would sleep together.

 

[siath70]

She has a bf whom she flaunts in your face to gut you - she does, twist her dagger deep and when you do anything about it, you run away and she shuts down.

MC never was afforded any agency by his family - they told him to shun Jaye, then they let things happen and left with MC and Jaye still bleeding outta their open wounds. Mal could have been the doctor, but Lisa was only afforded the nurse status.

He was never told to shun Jaye, ever, he did that himself. Both, the MC and Jaye, never grew up enough to just talk things out and there was a constant rift between them even though they loved each other. Sometimes, as in real life, things just can't be patched up or go back to the way it was. The MC knew they needed to grow and he left to give them that chance.

I really think you should go back and replay the game and really read everything that is going on. If you feel this way, you missed a lot.

Side note:
I would think about supporting the Dev, but they lock up all their news. Honestly you should have some public news about what is going on, everything locked behind a paywall isn't a very good thing.

I just want to know who she is? I feel like I have seen her in a different game.

It's Stephanie from Leap Of Faith.

I understand she says that, however the game is clearly written to show they have chemistry themselves. We also know Jaye and Malory are at least somewhat bisexual. So while I don't expect it, I don't think it would be out of left field for them to include one in the epilogue or whatever they are calling it. If they don't it's a missed oppurtunity.

There was zero buildup, or hints for Mal and Amanda also, I dont know why people are surprised.

 

[Canto Forte]

Let MC be the catalist .. just like back in the cabin and back in Rome and you name it he is there and girls stirr their inner most kinky desire gnomettes who in turn put hotter and meaner thoughts into their minds and MC ends up coaching them through the most erotic and emotionally charged experience of their lives.

Wrong!
She is the Femme fatale, red blooded, high heels, devourer of all you have holy in your soul, man eater, woman of your fate.

It's Stephanie

Right, but Jaye is a jealous person, which she tries to hide. This alone would tell me it would never work, jealousy and multiple partners do not work.
That aside, I think her point was, she doesn't want to see him with anyone else and that was stopping her from a threesome. Even when he eludes to a threesome with Tara because of their teasing, she basically say not ever gonna happen.
I do see your point though... I think the whole thing could have been expanded upon and some of the choices could have been up to us too.

Like I said before, the end felt very much rushed. as going to have to be out there for a month hiding then suddenly it was a day. The the stuff that happened with Mal and her editor.
It was like this huge build up for exploring the shit between Jaye, Mal and the MC and the set up for more conflict. Then it was suddenly flushed away for some reason.
Could have easily been another chapter to wrap things up, a few loose ends right now. Amanda being a major one. As silly as it sounds, her belly button jewelry was never explained (yet) and the ring his parents gave him that Jaye picked out at the age of like 8.
Yeah, I know the epilogue is coming... I feel like the epilogue is going to leave us with more questions. I was honestly expecting to see a fast forward of their lives as they lived happily ever after or what ever the end might be.

Though I enjoyed it a lot, I want the thanks the Devs for all their hard work.
