Didn't know this existed until today. Decided to try it. It was interesting and definitely has potential. However, ran into a couple of issues. 1. Left the starting cave, saw a mushroom patch with another cave below it. Couldn't get down to it because of a mushroom blocking the way, continued around the rock and ended up *in* the cave anyway. Exited and found myself trapped because of that same mushroom blocking the path. 2. Wandered along after leaving the cave (a different playthrough) and there's a crashed aerial vehicle in the mountain with a cyan arrow pointing to it but there's no trigger when you arrive. 3. After leaving the first city following Halter, several times in conversation when referencing my species, all that appeared there was guyPlayer speciesman? or something like that. 4. When you enter a trigger zone and the swirl screen finishes, you are left with a background image and nothing else. You have to click somewhere for it to actually trigger. Not sure if that's an actual error or if it's supposed to work that way. If so, you may want to put a message like 'click to continue' or something. (Seeing references to Pokemon, Digimon, Xenos, Krogan, Turian, etc. as races was odd, but okay. lol)
Well after making bad (Great) descisions and spending an all-nighter playing Chasing Tail, I am now excited to play this one as well! I loved the first one and I will certainly enjoy more stories from the same series
Heya Scylez! Hope you're doing alright. Just wanted to let you know I am still excited for new updates if you are still working on this game and future ones! Hope others feel the same, your games are really good (matter of fact, Chasing Tail was my first VN, let alone anthro-furry game!), and can't wait to see more. Cheers, mate!
Thank you! :3 I really appreciate it. And yep I'm still hard at work on getting more updates out, for this game specifically too. I was hoping to have a new public release done by the end of June but it's just sadly not ready yet. maybe next month. I've been doing a lot of changes in the code and also some re-writes of earlier parts of the game to make things a bit better, but that also means I needed more art XD so there's so many things needed to make such a small change. I want Chasing Shadows to be really great but guess a long dev time is the price I pay x3 Hopefully it'll all be worth it ^^ and thanks again for the nice comment :3
All good mate! I can definitely wait a while for a great game, it's worth it! I feel slightly inspired by you to learn graphic design, your style is absolutely pleasing to the eye. Can't wait to see where this next story goes!
I decided to give this a peek before bed - playing another VN. And lo and itch.io, here's a new update! It's way too late to even give it a peek, but I can hardly wait to get too tired to work on my novel tomorrow, so I need a diversion before bed.
I'll make a devlog soon ^^ this update won't go too much further than the last one since the character art isn't quite done, but the entirety of the game got a writing revision, there are a few new scenes, some new lewd art, new backgrounds, and a couple new branching paths added ^^ once more character art gets finished I'll update again and make it go even further.
I played chasing tails and I plan on playing this too, but I am curious if this version is complete enough for a full playthrough? Chasing tails was surprisingly better than expected of course there were a few things here and there that have room for improvement like the side missions changing the story. idk if they did at all because I did only 5-6 but I felt like they would have a noticeable change in the story. usually, I wouldn't criticize in a review, but I did notice in part of chasing tail that a certain coding raptor said he doesn't want only positive feedback (something along those lines). I guess I could also say that your game stuck out because most games force a singular protagonist gender.
This version sadly is not complete enough for a full playthrough. You might want to come back to it after I add more content. It's slowly getting filled out but there's still a lot of writing to be done and a lot of character art still needed. I'd call this a teaser at best right now.
And I completely agree and understand the criticism of Chasing Tail x3 The biggest problem with a lot of the side missions I think is they were created and written after the main game was finished, and at that point I was kinda locked into that story, but they still could have been implemented or acknowledged in a few ways in the main story at least. Some day way down the line, I might go back and polish a few things up with the dialogue to straighten it out a little bit. But yes I always welcome constructive feedback ^^
But at least this game will still follow the same general format of allowing you to pick a gender, species, and name, and then have content that adjusts to those ^^
"Chasing Tail" and "Chasing Shadows" are my favorite furry visual novels. The 3D graphics along with the normal art are well made. The "All Nature Mode" is a option that I am grateful for for obvious reasons. In "Chasing Shadows," Lenznth has got to be my favorite character. His himbo-like personality is just amazing.
Anyways, I hope this game continues to gain new content and charaters. Have a wonderful rest of your day Scylez and to whomever else may read this!
wow thank you so much for the kind words :3 I'm always floored when anyone plays my games, but saying they're your favorite is something else. Hopefully the 3D parts will be even better in Chasing Shadows. I'm working hard to give it some more content and make some better reasons to explore. And of course the all natural mode will return lol, that's almost a requirement in a furry game. But thank you again for playing and trying my games. Making my dreams come true with comments like this <3 You're the best
This is my new go to for creating unique sounding fantasy languages lol in Chasing Tail, Smok was Polish backwards, so now in Chasing Shadows, Shaden is German backwards. Not many people notice that. Maybe you're German yourself?
I just started playing the demo and wanted to give a wink wink nudge nudge haha I see what you did there elbow jab to ya for cleverly sneaking it in xD Didn't the xeno's speak german backwa..... ohwait they are kinda from Shadow Lands nvm. I was born in Germany and have ancestry blah blah blah ANYWAYS!!
So far really enjoying this!! can't wait for more for sure!! only request is mayyyybe more save slots?? Easier to get all the endings or save for favorite scenes and shtuff (I might have mentioned it before somewhere but like ppllleeeaaaaaaassseeee don't make me pull out the puppyderg dragonwolf eyeballs of doomable cuteness!! The world won't handle xD Rambly wuff gonna ramble I really enjoyed Chasing Tail and now getting to Chase Shadows sounds fun too!!
Keep up the amazing work tho for sure!! Always looking forward to new stuff here but also don't overwork yourself either!! ^w^

Hey, you're the one making the game. I'm just the person who plays them and gives feedback. I should be thanking you for creating such a thing!
Cool additation making the shadow folk speak german backwards.
This is my new go to for creating unique sounding fantasy languages lol in Chasing Tail, Smok was Polish backwards, so now in Chasing Shadows, Shaden is German backwards. Not many people notice that. Maybe you're German yourself?
Interesting, I had this feeling when reading Smok that it was inverted speech, despite being unable to read it (I do not understand Polish).
