Chasing Sunsets Chapter 4 DevLog - The Light at the End of the Tunnel


Things are coming together now, along with a few surprises we haven't advertised before. (See the alternate animated splash screen above, courtesy of our friend Puggy!)

As we pose and render through the final scenes, including the mid-story culmination, Kentyrr and I have been working on music selection and integration work for the art that is already completed.

Once art is finished, there remains the achievement, points, and narrative refinement before we can go to beta.

From where I sit today, I'm feeling pretty good about our progress, and I've hit that milestone where I see everything converging toward release.

After consulting with Kentyrr, we're also making a minor course correction on where we spend our development effort.   I won't go into detail, but we'll talk at some length about it in our post-release livestream.  This mostly means we don't see a lot of benefit in devoting a tremendous amount of time in catering to the most destructive paths.

In any case, thank you once again for your interest, support, feedback, and encouragement.  Our Discord channel just seems to get more and more activity and Kentyrr and I are constantly amazed at the quality of our community.   We look forward to delivering Chapter 4, and hope your all agree it was worth the wait!

Ok, not to seem like a total B****.  I did go in and play.  I am enjoying the storyline and the options to choose which direction the story will take.  I look forward to seeing how this turns out in hopes that you will add the option to start the game out with the choice of alternative characters.  

Thanks for the feedback, and I can totally understand why a female would prefer to play as a female.   That said, this story happens to be about a male character.

It's possible that in the future we will create a story with a female protagonist, and while we certainly understand your preference and regret that we couldn't cater to it in this game, I wouldn't change Tomb Raider to a male protag even if I could.   It's Lara Croft's story, and millions of male players have been content to see her story play out through her eyes.

Thanks for replying.  I understand and will continue on the story line.  Good luck!  It is an interesting concept but a tad slow going as far as pulling the reader in to want to continue.  

I friend of mine suggested I check out this game.  So before I read anything about it, I briefly looked over the page on Steam and purchased.  I realize that you are still developing but I was turned off before the game even started.  No offense but I am a female and I honestly don't want to be a male in this game.  My question.  Have you changed this so females have an option to determine the outcomes?  If not I would strongly suggest that you do.   Thanks Vic.
