Chasing Sunsets Ch10 - Development In Full Swing
🕑 Added 2024-10-01 06:12:26 +0000 UTC
While we've been quiet since Ch9 launch, we haven't been idle!
Development of Chapter 10, titled "Chasing Sunsets" has been going pretty much since the day we pushed the bugfix, and one of our two side projects is closing in on delivery:
Specifically, I'm talking about the updated release of the Prologue through Chapter 9 with many bugs, inconsistencies, broken forks, and other improvements aimed at making the gameplay experience consistent from beginning to end.
This will be release v1.02...The QoL update and front-to-back bugfix.
While the art updates for the Prologue-Chapter 1 won't be included in this version, this should shore up each of the corner cases that have been identified which yield unexpected results or aren't accounted for in later gameplay. While there may still be choice combinations that haven't been flagged as bugs yet, we're pretty confident we have a handle on most of the places the script goes a bit wonky...Or a lot wonky.
As for the final chapter, art is cruising along nicely, and each ending will receive its due. It begins with Jaye and Alex bidding farewell to their childhood home a few days before the bar scene with Walter at the end of Chapter 9, as they plan for the next stage of their lives, together or otherwise.
The next section will wrap up what happens in court (influenced by previous choices) and then proceeds into a look at the MC's immediate future, followed by a look a bit further down the road.
Further, endings will be "grouped" by type. For example, the Solo Jaye and Solo Mallory path are grouped together as the "Pure LI" endings. The idea is that MC will have an opportunity to reminisce on "what might have been" had he made other choices within his ending group. This isn't going to be a full-fledged experience of alternate endings, but more of an abstract glimpse of what the alternative might have looked like.
So, what can you expect in Ch10?
The points bar is gone, baby, gone. You'll still have choices, but they will simply have impact within your chosen ending, so more cause and effect.
This chapter will have significantly more lewd content in it than preceding chapters, even if they're (generally) shorter. After all, everyone wants to see what's behind their chosen door, right?
On top of that, there are a lot of loose ends to tie up, so we have our work cut out for us.
As of today, we have three scenes complete with nearly 200 images rendered.
One thing that's really helping move us along is that for the time being, Kent is developing full time, and if anything I'm sweating a bit to stay ahead of him.
Chapter 10 will release as v1.1 and the final update with the remastered early game art will release shortly after as v1.11, after which we will turn our attention to Firebreak.
As our story draws to its full conclusion, Kentyrr and I would like to take a moment to thank those of you who have been with us from the beginning from the bottoms of our hearts, and for those who have joined us more recently, we are honored and gratified we met your expectations well enough to earn your patronage!
In other news, we were recently reviewed on the SML Podcast. Hear what Mika thought of Chasing Sunsets right here!
Best,
Stoya and Kentyrr

Amanda needs to be properly rewarded, and given the opportunity to catch up on those pleasures other girls have enjoyed? Adventuresome Lisa seems to have been exceedingly impressed by George. Will she be brave enough to take up the challenge?

I have been away from this game for a while, has there been no new chapters since 2022? Looking at post dates. and for some reason I lost access to Discord even though I have been paying.

Thanks for the update! And THANK YOU for this incredible journey! I joined around CH6, and it's been a ride since! I'm excited, also sad, but I'm also ready to play and close the book on the final CH of CS! I am excitedly looking forward to many more years and games with you guys 😁! You guys will always have my support ❤️!

Stoya has written all of the dialogue/narration from the prologue to Ch10 to date.

As of right now, Firebreak is expected to be a "bigger" game and we'll be experimenting with a mode of unraveling the story we don't think we've seen elsewhere. We expect there to be three ending groups, which we are tentatively calling Green/Yellow/Red for no reason at all.

No, Thank you guys for an awesome AVN. I joined on CH3 and have been glued to to the story ever since, Well done for a top notch 1st attempt, Looking forward to project 2, After CH10 obviously.
Mr. Tact
Thank you for everything. Chasing Sunsets is a major contributor to the reason I am in the AVN community. For a nearly random reason, I watched a YT play through episode of Chasing Sunsets. It changed everything I thought about the AVN scene. I had assumed it was just a bunch of anime fuckfest scenes designed for horny teenagers who had never actually seen a naked woman. I didn't know there were actual stories out there. For you guys to come out of the gate with your first AVN and make what I think is clearly one of the top three AVNs and my personal pick for #1 is incredible. Of course, the problem being it only raises expectations for your next project. ;) Thanks again. Good luck and best wishes.

Thank you for the update, I can't wait for the finale. :) I started playing these types of games last year, so I discovered Chasing Sunsets with Chapter 7, it was the second game I downloaded on the same day I played my first and I haven't looked back since. Your game is in my top 2 and I love it. Thank you for creating these wonderful characters and story. Have a good week.

Purely out of curiosity, and without any spoilers, how many endings or ending groups have you planned? Proper excited about this and the next project. Do you think Firebreak will be a similar length/size to CS or is it too early to say?

You Know We Want To See.... what MC and Jaye's kids look like -or- at least see Jaye pregnant! Would be Nice if Mallory could have the same problem.... and Lisa...
