I've heard that hope drop this game - to many complains, to little sex, to much time between updates - and the dev of 23Sisters takes over. At least 2 of 3 things will change.

I would love to see that. Cordia being submissive in bed to MC as she gets closer to him (with more events) and ends up loving him like no other.
Actually, thinking about it again with Cordia, rather than being complete submissive, I might love her more if she is a mix of dom and sub (there will definitely be moments where I would love to see her be a submissive slut to my MC, yet there would also be moments where I would like to see her grab my MC by the collar and fiercely kiss him and take charge in bed for some cases).
Oh boy. Thinking about it all makes me
On a related matter, out of everyone in the Family (DeLucas), are there any characters anyone thinks will be absolute dom in bed no matter what?
For me, I'd pick Amata. No way our feisty yet naughty sister will play a sub in bed.
Come to think of it, it would be a hilarious twist if Amita (who is very gentle with MC till now) is an absolute dom in bed as well
Onorina, while being feisty normally I'd love it if she was a submissive slut, heh.

lol I would apply the same desire for Ono, to Amita.For me, I'd pick Amata. No way our feisty yet naughty sister will play a sub in bed.

The feistier they are in everyday actions, the more contrast when they become doting in bed.
Having said that, she was pretty commanding when she gave us the BJ on the cliffs, before the mission.
Hey Hopes Gaming,
in the q/a on patreon there was the following question:
'Q. When are you going to quit that dang restaurant job and make porn full time! We all want more DeLuca! (Mr. Ghost)
A. I don't know. This business is really not stable and you never know what may happen. Not at the stage where I am comfortable enough to drop everything for it. '
Why dont you add a threshold/goal on patreon where you specify the number of patreons (or the income) with which you are satisfied to go full-time?
I think the only thing that is holding the game back (financial wise), are the long pauses between the updates. The number of new patreons has stagnated for roughly a year now.
Maybe a new patreon goal whould encourage new patreons?

Ah ok thanks for the info.
Sooo his answer is pretty old... maybe now is the time for a new goal?
I can understand his fear of going self-employed and the risky nature of patreon. But if he doesnt own the restaurant or is a high-end chef i think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
I noticed that one of the biggest factors of channel growth is the update frequency. There are a lot of rather medicore games (compared to deluca family) which update more often (say every 2-4 month) and they seem to gather a bigger and faster gathering.
I mean quality wise deluca family is almost on par with industry giants like Dr PinkCake, so the financial potential should be there...
Anyway i will stop now with my attempt to convince HopesGaming to go fulltime

All you can do to convince anyone is to sign up as a patreon I'm guessing. With solid numbers then there's less risk from focusing more on the gameAh ok thanks for the info.

The thing is, (I'm no expert but from what I heard and seen) channel growth seems to be a lot more complex than that.
Just because it is updated frequently doesn't necessarily equate to increase in Patreon numbers (take another mafia game Oath of Loyalty for example, a good game, which if I remember correctly had pretty consistent release schedule yet had nowhere near enough Patreon support. And with OOL Part 1 done, now dev has put up a goal which would allow Part 2 to be made, but there is nowhere near enough support for it).
Also, if the game has some kinks (like incest etc etc) which people may go crazy over, the update frequency would not matter, people would still likely support the game even if the dev doesn't release for 6 months or 7 months (the whole power of the devoted kink-fandom lol).
Seen at least 1 or 2 games (which I won't name) out there which I don't think are good games at all, plus update frequency has been awful to say the least, yet amount of dough the devs get due to the game having particular kink is staggering.
Having said that, I'm not saying Hopes shouldn't update the game frequently. In fact, myself and probably every DeLuca fan would welcome it very much wholeheartedly.
It's just that I'm saying even if Hopes updates frequently, the growth of the Patreon members may not be as great as one would expect due to a lot of factors which would come into play.

Heya Delucas!
As many of you have noticed, I've been quiet not just here but also on the forums and discord. Nothing is wrong and everything is going fine. I just decided to cut off from everything and 'reset' my mind. Either I worked on the game or I spent time on forums and discord talking about the game. Felt it was a bit too much and didn't want to feel burned out. So, I took a bit time off and just focused on game making and real life stuff.
Early next month I will gather all I made and then see how it all look and probably give an eta. As I've mentioned in the last dev. post, this is the last update before the end of season 1 and therefore this is not the planned 'quick' update. Those will happen still, but not on an important update like this. After this update, and with some small fix updates (hopefully no fixes needed, heh) it will be sent to steam release!
Either steam will be a failure or a success. Nonetheless, I am excited to see what the DeLuca future will be!

Thanks for posting the Patreon update again! Much appreciated!
As for you HopesGaming , good to hear you took some time off. Worst possible thing that can happen for a dev is to be burnt out.
Cool, I thought of asking you whether "faster yet smaller" updates will still be coming and it seems your Patreon post here answers that question.
Congrats on finally getting DeLuca finally enter the steam release stage! Wish you best of luck for that, and really looking forward to DeLuca's future as well.

Anyone said Cordia? I think hopes made good used of cordia Dom and not the crap femdom of 95% of devs made mc slave . I think cordia it's a beast in the bed .

That picture just gave me an idea, What if the MC's father is the guy that is burnt out in that picture?Speaking of Cordia, man, I'm getting the feeling when Cordia tells the story of the original 4 Serpents (to MC and quite possibly the girls), it's gonna give us a whirlwind of emotions.
View attachment 1360113
Probably gonna make us laugh, make us cry, and perhaps may even make us feel bittersweet about these original Serpents' tale which led them to their current fate.
We still have some way to go until we'll reach this part, but I can't wait for Cordia's LI route.
But also, if we can get loving embrace from the Blizzard Queen which makes the below scene just an appetizer, well, I'm totally

lol Yeah, that's the general assumption.
He used to be with Cordia, but left her for MC's mother.
