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

[Grumpy Ol' Dude]

In addition to narrative reasons, Stoya has said they deliberately made the poly ending hard to achieve because with the personalities involved, they believed it would be challenging to achieve in real life too. So you're definitely not wrong there.

Stoya wrote it perfectly, the personalities of these characters matter and if players pay attention reaching the poly option isn't hard. As I said I've got the choice without even trying on the committed solo Jaye route.
Everybody is focused on the talk and on the option with Mal after MC had sex with her. But having sex in the first place at that point is the issue here. Jaye's points must be high, that means MC is in love with her and Jaye is in love with him and it means they got physical very recently too. MC also told Jaye he's not dating anyone. Fucking Mal after all that isn't really nice and honest of MC.
I'll say that even the first option in that conversation (telling Mal it's just to help her) should not lead to the poly ending but that's just me. I could accept that in this scenario Mal's reaction does not give away her involvement with MC but I'd say it's less realistic for her to hide her true emotions since she tells MC for her it's about more at that point and running into Jaye caught her off guard.

For the record, I think the poly route made narrative sense too. Just was confirming that in addition to the narrative and character reasons, Stoya made it intentionally difficult to achieve.

As for your spoiled section, it's worth noting that on the solo ending, the person that shows up depends on who has higher love points between Jaye and Mal. If Mal has more love points than Jaye at the end of the game for a solo path, she shows up instead, and there's some very interesting info that is shared on only that ending. Namely, that due to the gene treatments, Mal's dog is likely to live to 30 years, Mal is likely to live to about 140 years, and Amanda is essentially unageing and biologically immortal. So all the more important to keep that tech safe and secret until humanity is ready.

Now that's some information there I've missed! :O

Chapter 10 has launched, I've been going through Chasing Sunsets from top to bottom and with the help of our dedicated beta testers, cleaning up bugs, errors, inconsistencies, broken math, and typos.

For those of you on Steam, our Chasing Sunsets trading cards launched yesterday, and you should see them turning up in your inventory based on time played.

No matter what, we fix what's broken before we break new ground, but after that we have something of a fork in the road, and we're hoping our patron base can help guide us here.

One fork leads us to remaster the initial chapters in Chasing Sunsets, bringing the art, animations, character models, and presentation up to the same level as the later chapters in the game. This effort would also result in a simplified variable system and removal of custom code that makes localization to other languages and porting to Android difficult. It could also include an integrated in-game walkthrough mode.

The other fork takes us to our Firebreak project, which is the next story set in the Chasing Sunsets universe.

The third third choice would be to split the difference, working primarily on Firebreak and bringing CS production values up as time permits.

To help with you with that choice, we estimate focusing on remastering Chasing Sunsets would take one 4-6 month development cycle and beginning Firebreak development early in 2026. Conversely, completing the CS remaster while actively developing Firebreak has more unknowns, but there would be synergies. Since Firebreak will be built from the ground up to avoid the pitfalls some custom coding in CS created for us (compatability specifically) it would be a relatively simple matter to plug the CS assets into that when it's ready for prime time.

Regardless, it makes our decision easier if we know the sentiment of our supporters, so that's what this is: An opportunity to be heard and help us choose how to best serve you over the next few months.

Thanks!!

 

[Korbe]

The incest patch won't download, can someone send it to me plz?

 

[Fun Shaundi]

Damn, I'm just finishing all the paths, and the ending with Lisa totally broke me, cause they seemed to be going thru the right path and I was rooting for them, you could even see how she started to actually care and fall for MC.

Truly wished that all all the other LIs besides Jaye and Mal

 

[QueenOliviaDunne]

Seems like most people swear by Jaye but I just can't join them for the life of me. I know preferences and all that, and I much prefer Mal. I just feel like I'm the oddball and want to know what I'm missing here. Maybe because my brother instincts kick in but the game does an okay job with taming that instinct and justifying the relationship. That's not the point anyway. What is it about Jaye, sibling or not, that makes you choose her over Mal? That's my main question.

I don't like that kind of talk. Now just stop it, it upsets me!

 

[Mii88]

Is there a way to end with Bianca or can you only up as friends with benefits?

 

[El_Magnifico]

Only friends with benefits.

 

[Mii88]

Only friends with benefits.

This is so disappointing. You leave her because she wants to have kids but you don't want to!??????? You have kids with everyone else in the endings but you won't with Bianca. WTF, that is such a shitty ending! You knew from chatting with her before you get into a relationship that that is what she wanted and that Gary was such a shit with her.

 

[MagicMan753]

Sooo disappointing

Just like the game as a whole.

I see conflicting reports on this one's endings. I have personally enjoyed this game all the way up to 1.0 version but haven't had a chance to play the final episode yet due to me working on a vn of my own but i will have a look soon and see for myself how are the endings

The game is good and the endings with the main LI's are also good, both separately and together. After reading the comments, I understand that I did the right thing and only did a few playthroughs that interested me and did not touch other branches (and I'm unlikely to touch them if I replay the game). There was a game called Long Live the Princess, which also had many endings (about 15), and only 1 of them can be called good.

It's very difficult to strike a balance and give the characters what they deserve. But considering that this is the developer's first game and they were able to make great endings for the main LI's (which is not often seen in finished works) it's already a great achievement. Let's hope that the next game will be even better.

Well i only ever did Jaye's path so far because honestly she's the only one that piqued my interest and i always liked that path and the story of it so i should be good then. Either way, yes i agree that this is a great game, always has been one of my favorite vn's

 

[Anteron]

I got the "Kismet Ending" whatever that means. It was definitely a good one.

 

[Dynamike]

You can see the code on each choice with URM, just click path detected (on the screen of the 1st screenshot) and the condition/code, the 2nd screenshot bellow in the spoiler box appears if num050=0 or if you simply click Select, and in that same screenshot I show the code of first option of 9 and num050 variable go from 1 to 9 in order.

Hey pitao , sorry to bother you with this question again. I finally had the time to try getting the description of choices in URM, but I just couldn't get past the 1st screenshot. I clicked at the top left on "Path dected" and see the path options. But when I click on the code num050, it just opens a small window where I can change the value.
Would you be able to describe the steps, maybe with screenshots how to get the description of the various choices? Only if it's not too much of a hassle for you. If I click "Select" in the Active path options (your 1st screenshot), the story will move on to the next screen, of course.

Also, dumb me didn't save the screen with the announcement of the Beta Tester bla bla where you can make changes. So, I just changed the num050 value in URM when the Episode 10 screen appears; that worked, but I'm not sure if that impacts my ability to get the descriptions of all 9 paths.

Wishing you a great WE!

Kismet means Fate. Yeah, I had no trouble getting that one, really wholesome and fun.

I tried the last chapter and the eplilogues at once, it was fun! I think single Jaye and single endings make the most sense, whilst I missed the the poly Jaye Mallory at first by 1 meager point, retracing that and other endings using a guide was dumb, I hope next game is most forgiving /logical with how flexible some relationships can be.
