With well over a million copies moved, this is the first time this particular criticism has been levied, and as for the ending being rushed, that is patently untrue. (our final content update dropped yesterday).
I normally welcome constructive criticism, but a quick glance at your post history suggests you spend most of your conversations reassuring everyone you're the smartest guy in the room, so instead I'll thank you for your contribution to this thread and wish you the best!
For what it's worth, I realized after release that once the player embarks on the casual path, he is not given an opportunity to change course recover from that poor choice.
One pitfall of development is that you understand the pathing so well, it's easy to fall into the trap of assuming everyone else does too.
While I think both girls' displeasure was adequately telegraphed, it does seem unfair to punish the player in Chapter 9 for a single choice made in Chapter 6.
The result will be the v1.01 patch, which will add an additional scene. This scene will provide the MC an option to be proactive about making things right before decisions are made for him.
While it will not add new endings, or provide a casual route for both LI's, it will be far more fair for player agency.
This will not protect the MC from the consequences of cheating (while in a committed relationship) however.
I hope this helps.
I expect this patch version to be ready sometime tomorrow.
I'll remove the dreamyzoom transition from use. When Ren'Py updated their video renderer, something about that bit of code always behaved a little wonky. It's not so important to the game that it's worth keeping.
It doesn't tell me which transition is causing the issue, unfortunately. I'll be posting a patch (v1.0a) in the next day or two. I'll see if I can track this down and eliminate the problem transition between now and then. Do you remember precisely where you got this error?
If anything, our frustration hasn't come from interest at the consumer level, but rather the sometimes draconian behavior of the platforms (particularly Patreon) which we rely on to support our effort.
We intend to follow Chasing Sunsets with another title.
If the domain you sent the email from ends in "rcor.de" then we would have to find another method to communicate with you, if you don't see an email in your junk or spam folders.
Send an email to support@stonefoxstudios.net and our naughty secretary will see if we have any keys left. She'll want you to be able to prove your Itch purchase, though. Keep in mind, the Steam and Non-Steam binaries are slightly different, so your saves wouldn't carry over.
Minor correction...The story is told from the perspective of past and present. Sex that happens in the past is considered "established history," so player's don't always have a choice.
In the present timeline, the player ALWAYS has a choice.
Thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement.
For the script errors on Steam, you can usually correct these by going to "Settings > Help > Clear Persistence. " This will restart the game, but correct any mis-aligned achievements and unlocks.
Let me know if that works for you. You can find us on Patreon here.
We will happily provide you with a PC or Mac version at your discretion, or a refund, if you purchased with Android support in mind. Email us at admin@stonefoxstudios.net, and we'll see how to make things right.
Send an email to support@stonefoxstudios.net, and we'll make sure you get the latest and greatest SenorGuac. Further, the download links should function on this site for a few more days.
Kentyrr and I are discussing our next project now.
This story will end in a few updates, but we hope that won't be it for some of our favorite characters. We would certainly like any future projects to take place in the same universe at least!
When we decide on our follow-up project, we'll announce it on the AVN_Lovers Reddit as well as our supporter platforms.
