Chasing Sunsets
Chasing Sunsets Chapter 4 Released!
Stone Fox Studios is pleased to announce the release of Chapter 4 of Chasing Sunsets (v0.5a).
About the new content, I figured I'd take a moment to talk about what to expect:
- Nearly 1600 individual new renders (bringing the game total to 7600!)
- 9 new Blender animations (New to CS!)
- More than 20 new songs
- 32 new achievements
- 3 new repeatable lewd scenes
- 2000 lines of dialogue (and 20000 words!)
- Phone chat day dividers so ongoing chats can be separated
- New soundtrack and music room with 35 of our tracks available to listen to
- Animated text
- Animated transitions
Additionally, we have animated our main menus, revamped our UI, and completely streamlined our game framework without breaking saves in most cases.
As always, Kent and I are taking the week after the bugfix off from development work to regroup and recharge for the next chapter. It's also time to start talking Livestream! Kent and I will be hosting Q&A on January 2nd, 2022. We'll talk about Chapter 4 development, and our plans going forward.
We will be reactivating our "Questions for Livestream" channel on our Discord, so please leave any topics you'd like to see discussed there. We will make an update between now and then to post the precise time, but it should be reasonably accessible to Oceania, Western Europe, and morning for the Americas.
Looking ahead, Chapter 5 will be titled "Crossroads" and will involve a small time jump.
Thanks everyone for your feedback on our latest chapter, and your ongoing support! If you aren't in our Discord, you should be!

how many chapters will be released in the steam early access? if i buy the game here will i get all future updates free?
Yes, I will send a link to the registered email of all itch subscribers for updates until the game is complete.
Steam Early Access will be at Chapter 4, and early access will likewise receive updates until the game is complete. Once the final chapter is completed, the price will change both on Itch and Steam to reflect our perceived value of the finished product. Early Access purchases will not have to pay again to gain access to the completed game.
It should show up appropriately for download now. If you paid for Chapter 4 and haven't received it, let me know and I'll make it right! Click the "Download Now" button at the bottom of this post, and it should allow you to download Prologue - Ch3 for "Name Your Price" and Prologue - Ch4 for $8.95.
When will be able to download Chapter 4?
You can download it now. I was forced to raise the price from $5 to $8.95 to comply with Steam's price parity requirement as we work to get our product on that platform.
My goal is that if you've already paid for the game, you shouldn't have to pay for it again, even if you initially purchased at the $5.00 price point. I'm working out how to set up that pricing setup now.
