Chasing Sunsets - Ch3 Finalization
🕑 Added 2021-08-12 19:07:53 +0000 UTC
For those of you waiting patiently, let me get the bad news out first: Stoya will be spending the next four days on holiday while Kentyrr works to finish up the art for Ch3.
It was our hope that we'd be done before this long-planned trip, and we *almost* made it, but fell just a little short.
As of this morning, there are about 400 lines of code that are pending art. That may sound like a lot, but it's not. It's possible the art will even wrap up this weekend while Stoya's out, but that would require ninja-like focus and skipping meals for Kent, so we won't hold him to that.
We're pretty happy with how the points and choices play out and true to our word, it is no longer possible to min/max points with all of the principle characters. In addition, choices made in this chapter will resonate to the very end.
We hope to have a beta out for testing next week shortly after I return from my trip. Barring any major issues, this process usually takes a few days. As with development, testing will take somewhat more effort as the game is becoming increasingly less linear.
Parallel with beta testing, I will be layering in sound and music in preparation for the official launch. I am confident we will be complete by August 28th...We will make every effort to underpromise and over-deliver here.
We thank you again for rolling with our little delay, and for your continuing interest in the story we're telling. We're already thinking ahead to the mid-story finale with Chapter 4, and can't wait to show you what this has been leading up to.
Chapter 3 is shaping up to be our biggest chapter so far, and Chapter 4 seems likely to surpass it.
We are also looking at getting our game onto Steam soon after the Chapter launches, so keep an eye on this page for updates to tiers, benefits, and incentives as we conform to Valve's requirements.

Jaye! Mallory! That is a tough fucking choice. Looking very forward to Chapter 3 release.

Enjoy your break, and I look forward to the CH3 release.

Good feedback...Since this is the only game we're working on, it's easy to forget that not everyone associates Stone Fox Studios with our title. I'll think about that before posting going forward.

Sorry but I have to say something... There is amongst the patreons people who love the game and want to support it and that's fine. But there's also, I'm sure, people like me who found the game interesting and want to support the creators and see where the game is going. And amongst those people, I'm sure that there are some who like me support other ceators creating their own games. And at some point it's kinda hard to remember which creator creates what... For instance, I support you because I found potential in your game but for the life of me, as of right now I wouldn't be able to say the name of your game. What I'm trying to say is that those updates are great and they make us feel like we're part of the creating process. But don't assume that everyone knows what you're talking about. So don't call your post "Ch 3 Finalization" but "BLANK ch 3 finalization". Your game has a name, use it, advertize it, put it on the forefront of your posts so that no one can forget it. I'm saying this to you, but I could adress (and I will) the same "complaint" to almost every creator on this platform. That being said... Enjoy your vacations !
