That's 11:00AM PDT and 2:00PM EST for Americans being taught Common Core math.
All are cordially invited to the first Stone Fox Studios Livestream.
This Livestream is scheduled for one hour. It will take place on the Stone Fox Studios Discord in #dev-streams voice channel.
We're currently provisioned for 40 attendees, but I don't think we'll have that many. We've done our best to schedule this for a time our European friends can reasonably join us, but extend our apologies to our Aussie friends.
Agenda:
-Introduction to Stone Fox (Kentyrr/Stoya)
-Primer on Chasing Sunsets
-Our creative process
-Our release plan
-Sneak Peek at a few scenes (Stoya)
-Stream DAZ for quick scene creation (Kentyrr)
-Q&A (Kentyrr/Stoya)
Depending on how many people show, the channel will be moderated, with only devs having a speaking voice. We will answer questions via chat for as long as we can.
You can pre-submit questions for the Q&A in the #questions-for-dev-streams channel on our Discord server. We'll try to capture as many questions and answers as possible to sticky to the #general channel for those who cannot make it.
Unfortunately, for now we do not plan to record our streams for later viewing.
Hope you can join us! Thanks again for your interest in our project.

Today marks the soft-launch date of Stone Fox Studios' first game "Chasing Sunsets."
Kentyrr and I would like to extend a warm welcome to our founding patrons and our eternal thanks to Ugulugulu and PandaDrummer for helping us get to this point.
Kentyrr and I have disabled all tiers over $10 until our product intro is released. We cannot, in good conscience, accept larger contributions until we can give our patrons something in return.
In the meantime, whether you sub or not, we welcome you to our Discord channel for conversation, art, and the most frequent updates on where we are with the launch!
You may also consider this post an invitation for Q&A. If you have questions about the game, feel free to ask. We will obviously steer clear of spoiler territory.
"Soft Launch" means that we are currently socializing our project to an audience we know will appreciate our work, but do not have a demo to download yet.
The project status for version 0.1 stands as follows:
Overall: 60% Complete
What this means, is that if you want something playable today, subscribing right now will not scratch that itch!
Kink content will include (but may not be limited to):
Intro:
[Oral Sex] [Vaginal Sex] [Teasing] [Creampie] [Romance] [Footjob] [Masturbation] [Male Protagonist] [Milf] [Humor] [3dcg]
Planned:
[Anal Sex] [Big Tits] [Cheating] [Handjob] [Virgin] [Voyuerism] [Ahegao] [Pregnancy] [Adventure] [Titfuck] [Big Ass] [Exhibitionism] [Spanking]
By "60%" I don't mean lots of scraps that need to be tied together...I mean that 60% of the content is fully rendered, dialogued, and playable NOW, but not publicly available yet. We are currently tracking toward a 0.1 release in September.
You are welcome to join our Discord without patronage as our primary goal is to generate interest in our project ahead of launch. That said, we will not say "no" if you decide to contribute early. We just wanted to be crystal clear on where the project stands as of this writing. (Thanks Shuddermania!)
For future updates, I will be looking at tools that will allow me to show graphs that provide a better visual indication of where development stands.

Well, not really...
Kentyrr and I started this as a proof-of-concept about two months ago.
Since then, we've developed a story arc, a clean and professional-looking UI, a stat tracking system, and a slew of interesting characters to populate our world.
Additionally, we have brought in a few trusted fans to sanity check us and provide feedback against competing projects from other developers working toward the same target demographic.
Here's what you can expect from the project under development:
-Beautiful artwork
-A compelling story with meaningful and believable consequences for player actions
-Proofread dialogue and narrative. Quality matters.
-Lots of sexy, intriguing, and emotional story. We will pull no punches on delivering a scene.
-Commitment to learn: We know our skills will advance as we tell our story. We promise not to abandon the project or continually stop content progression so we can go back and bring previous content up to our new standards.
-Adult content. This is targeted at an 18+ fan base.
-Avoiding overused VN tropes, including (but not limited to):
- -Impossible model anatomy
- -Application of sunscreen or a casual massage always leading to sex
- -Spin the Bottle or Truth or Dare leading to the same
- -Women losing all capacity for critical thought at the sight of a penis
- -Low-effort harem-building
A shout-out before I sign off:
Kentyrr and I would not feel confident enough to put ourselves out there without the patience and work of other developers who guided and confided with us. I would like to give credit where it's due now, in spite of the fact that we haven't released a product yet:
Dr. PinkCake - Encouragement, technique explanation, and setting the bar for storytelling.
Phillygames - Production values, encouragement on artwork, and giving a ton of advice on Daz to Kentyrr.
The Naughty Captain - Scripting and coding tips and tricks, and reinforcing the truth that sometimes less is more.
Mircom - Encouragement and constant reinforcement of how to add spice to an erotic scene.
VoidStar - His coding is so organized, I use it as reference material to learn Ren'Py.
Mr. Dots - Always a benchmark for storytelling and character development.
Please visit their pages and show them your love. They are all rock stars in the genre, and have been huge influences for us.
Lastly, a special dedication in memory of Chatterbox, who tragically passed during the development of the Lexi project: Kentyrr was working to perfect a tribute to Lexi when we met, and our partnership was built on the bond that arose from that. In that sense, this work is a continuation of yours. Thank you.
That's it for now!
Once Discord is integrated, I will begin working on a progress tracker so patrons can see where we are in the development cycle.
