Fantastic update! Chasing Sunsets is in my top 3, and I've played far too many of these games! Every character is pitch perfect, and the MC isn't a rapey douchebag!

However, I have a problem: When using the default Renpy renderer (which I think is GL2), I get these weird glitchy flashes during transitions and animations. I get these on every game. So I normally just switch to the ANGLE2 renderer (Shift+G) and that fixes it. But using the ANGLE2 renderer with Chasing Sunsets causes an error in some of your transitions at chapter end/start and some other points. Here's an example traceback:

ERROR: 0:47: '*' : wrong operand types - no operation '*' exists that takes a left-hand operand of type 'const float' and a right operand of type 'const int' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

If I switch back to the default renderer, these errors don't occur but I have to suffer with flashy glitchy transitions.

I'm using a GeForce 3080 on WIndows 10 64-bit.

Hopefully that's enough information to figure out the problem!

EDIT: Added the full stacktrace since that seems to have lots more useful info.
