not rude, don't worry. But yeah, I've got an update in the works for this. I always wanted to turn this into a more full featured dungeon crawler so that's the plan. More features, better AI, and more lewd content. It's getting remade from the ground up in Godot. Sadly it will probably take a few months before anything is ready to be shown, but I'm working on it! 

Chasing Shadows should get a public update here at the end of the month :3

Thanks for the kind words :3 

Dracoins and Outfits were originally planned to do a lot more in the game but that feature got cut as development went on. Originally dracoins were going to be required for the good ending, and also be used to purchase outfits. outfits were going to give unique dialogue too. Now they're just around as collectables mostly. The outfits do still have a tiny influence on your final love. All characters have some outfits they like and dislike.

There are some flowcharts within the game that give a basic overview of how scene's progress.

There's also some info here: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/chasing-tail-2F-shadows-scylez/a/chasing-tail-artic... 

Not sure if that really counts as a guide though. Unfortunately there's nothing created yet that shows specifics on what options to choose to get certain outcomes

Sadly no, Perya does not have a romance option :'(

But thank you! <3

Late reply. sorry. but here you go. Hopefully this will help a little. Bonus and mini scenes do happen randomly if you don't have the free explore enabled. If you do use free explore, they can all be found on the overworld. And if you miss something and really want to see it you can always choose it from the scene picker ^^

Bonus Scenes

• 101 - Atti (with Atti lewd scene) - occurs after 17.1
• 102 - A performance not to forget (with Angel lewd scene) - occurs after 9.3
• 103 - Mshen (with Mshen lewd scene) - occurs after 7.4
• 104 - Zion (with Zion lewd scene) - occurs after 16.3
• 105 - Heretic (with Nava lewd scene) - occurs after 16.3
• 106 - Forced (with rickon lewd scene) - occurs after 4.6
• 108 - The raptor (with Jane lewd scene) - Occurs after 3.1
• 109 - Click (with click lewd scene) - Occurs after 16.3

Mini Scenes

• 201 - Species Guide - Occurs after scene 1.1
• 202 - Izzy's Diary - Occurs before 20.1
• 203 - World map - Occurs after 1.4
• 204 - Io's Performance - Occurs after 2.1
• 205 - Click - Occurs after 4.1
• 206 - Chef - Occurs after 2.1 or 4.1 or 7.4
• 207 - The Storm - Occurs before 20.1

At the end of scene 2 (Drackey's party), accept Scylez's invite to get his first date. And then in scene 9 (Game night), have Blinki go pick up the food. This will prompt Scylez to invite you to dinner for his second date. You have to have seen the first date to see the second date. Hope that helps! 

Thanks for the feedback! All good ideas. Rollback is high on my list and will probably get implemented at some point. I'd love to add more art too but that's a slow process. Maybe down the road though I could do some of these ^^

Thanks for giving it a shot. An update is on my to do list. Just need to actually get around to it.

Thanks! Yeah the text didn't get nearly as much attention and refinement as needed. The time limit snuck up so quick!

Thank you :)

Thanks! yeah thinking back on it. a progressive style introduction would have  been miles  better. I was really scrambling though to get this done at the last minute though lol like I'm sure lots of people were

Pretty solid idea! If expended on it could make a lot of really fun tricky scenarios

Love the concept and art of this one!

ah thanks for the report! Really appreciate taking the time to leave a comment for it. It helps a lot <3 I'll get that fixed for the next little update

Yep! 4_3 is the latest version and is the next version after 4_2_1. I didn't even know itch.io had a desktop app, so I'll have to take a look into that, but for the best version try to get it to download 4_3

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

Thank you <3 
And there's always a chance she'll show up in CS ;3

I'll have a new public update for that game next month hopefully :3

Oh you can save anywhere. When you play, every now and then a little notification should pop up that you hit a "checkpoint" and when you save and load, it'll load back to the most recent checkpoint. Not ideal I know, but the checkpoints happen pretty often so it works for now. When I say a save anywhere feature is in the works, I mean a true save anywhere system without these checkpoints and where the game will load in right to the exact line you saved at.

ahhh rollback feature is for sure possible. At some point I'll probably figure out how to get it done in the next VN since that one's got a bunch of experimental stuff going on and then I'll pull the code over to this one after it's stable. That, and being able to save anywhere are two of the bigger feature requests for these VN's which makes sense

thanks ^^ and any specific suggestions for improvement?

No update yet but I'm working on it. Got the VN's and one small project ahead of it in the queue and then I'll be putting some major effort into this one ^^

Aww yay Thank you :3 just pushed a quick hotfix for the 4_2 PC update so if you're on PC make sure to get 4_2_1 ^^

late reply. I'm sorry x.x but wanted to let you know I'm taking the feedback and did start a bigger more robust guide but needs more work. I know the flowcharts don't give all the info but hopefully in the meantime they'll help a little in certain situations. 

It's on my to do list for sure. I've got a big outline for the game and all the paths started but needs more work and then I'll post it up online somewhere or I guess I could even put it in the game itself. I know the flowcharts don't give all the info but hopefully in the meantime they'll help a little.

Just uploaded a new build. Uninstall the previous one completely and give this new one a shot ^^

and thanks for the info! I'll try to nail down the issue and re-build the android version

This one uses an updated version of the android apk so I think you have to uninstall the old game completely for the new one to install correctly. but if that won't work for you let me know what version of android you have and I'll investigate this and see if I can find out what's wrong. 

I actually am working on a sequel to this game right now ^^ and I always take into consideration feedback. I think this game ended up with 17 total lewd scenes scattered through it but more is always better. I do want the games to stand on their own without the lewd content so I sprinkle them in when they seem appropriate. I am, however, hoping to include more in the next game with some more interesting variety. Rollback function is another big feature request that I'd like to add. That and saving anywhere instead of checkpoints are two big requests. I've got the programming done to save anywhere, and I think I have a good idea on how to make rollback work nicely so with any luck they'll both make an appearance. Mode change would be nice too and could easily be added into the pause menu. If I get some spare time I might update Chasing Tail with that feature anyway. I do have a pending update with a few bug fixes and an 18th lewd scene prepped to be added still ^^

It wanted to surprise you x3 

Thank you so much! Late reply I know and I'm sorry x.x but I really appreciate it! 

Sorry for the late reply. Notifications haven't been working and I decided to check the page and see a bunch of new unanswered messages x.x 

Assuming you saw his first date in the middle of Scene 5, you can get his second date by picking the right options in Scene 9 (game night). You need to either not have stolen Izzy's story, or don't tell Blinki you did. Then later when the choice of food comes up, let the group know you'd prefer Scylez's choice. Him and Jane will leave you and Blinki alone. This small interaction will prompt Blinki to show up the next day and invite you on a second date.

Hope that helps! 

I'm sorry with the late reply x.x Seems my email didn't like giving me itch.io notifications. What you need to do is take her story when searching her apartment in scene 8 and this will open up an option later to see her first date right after. Then after scene 12 when Izzy invites you to hang out, accept which will give you her second date.

Thanks! :D Really glad you enjoyed the game. And while it's only in English now, I do have a plan to add more language support and have the programming done for it. Although since I don't know these other languages, hopefully the translation will be accurate enough. 

I always appreciate the feedback ^^ but you can load from the menu. If you click the little floppy disk icon it will bring up save slots that you can load from. No need to start a whole new game first.

hmm you're probably right about that joystick. I'll add that to my to do list ^^ and yes a map would be pretty helpful. I like that too. I've been gathering ideas for this game because sometime I'd love to give it a lot more content so that's going in the idea bucket! 

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. 

Late reply, sorry x3 But YES! it would be cool if you could talk to the people in the city :D it'd also be cool if I had more sprites so I could replace some of the ones that are all black x3 Ideas for maybe future updates to the game. While creating the next VN, I've been doing small little updates to other projects as well and I'd love to give this game some more love and polish too.

And wow you just found a major error in this scene. Going to have to make a new build of the game and fix this. When you encourage his other talents, it completely skips a piece of dialogue that should be in the game, and if you compliment his strength, you're right, it gives points to Corsica but it should be giving those points to Kase. You are correct but that's not how it should work. Thank you for bringing that up x3 need to fix this asap! D:
