Ren'Py Abandoned The DeLuca Family [Season 1] [HopesGaming]

[sahadeva]

Or better yet, don't cheat at all, heh.

I mean, I get there are times when there are temptations to use cheats, yet this game isn't all that bad in terms of the whole grind (I see it to be pretty mild compared to other games).

Besides, MC in the game is pretty frugal in terms of his reactions when buying stuff (e.g. Gracie's jeans with holes vs jeans without holes), so for me at least I'd like to think it makes more sense not to go too overboard with money (even if it doesn't produce any side effects/crashes etc) just cause it would conflict with the whole immersion factor.

Actually, getting the ripped jeans gets you some extra dialogue and hearts with Luna. You do miss out a bit by being too frugal

That being said, money isn't too hard to come by. Just grind missions as much as you want, not like there's any time limits to worry about.

You do do realize that I actually played through the game already, right?
I've played through the full game like 2 times already, and watched several individual selected events multiple times already.
So no need to explain to me what getting Luna jeans with holes means (as to the results and dialogue), heh.

What I meant by frugal is MC's actual in-game personality.
The player can spot it in several scenes:

For instance in Luna's jean with holes event,

When MC looks at jeans without holes:
"The price is not too bad." (or something along those lines)

now, when he looks at jeans with holes:
"Why? Just why!! How is is the jeans with holes in them are soooooo expensive?" (also not exact wording, but something similar to that effect)

MC gives similar remarks when he buys items through other events also (like buying wine for Isabel, or buying the dancing clothes for himself with dance with Gracie event).
Game shows him to be quite frugal in mind (funny instances where Caterina & Amata looks at him with a sigh and shaking their head when they see him pick up the Ombra Soldato uniform in the Ombra contract ), even though he ends up spending money where he finds them necessary.

My bad.

My bad.

Yeah, don't question JJJ84's knowledge of this game, i think it's starting rival Hopes

Just seeing this and having seen troubles on this thread as well as another recently: if using cheats, try to keep the numbers within reason. This would be more than you ever could need (probably, given the numbers we have so far) and using numbers outside the realm of possibility in games can have adverse side effects or crash your game. Better to settle for less and then maybe add more if and when you need it.

When playing in "story mode" the money defaults to 99999, so you're fine

I can imagine personal messages going back and forth:

Hopes: What was the story again with the guy in the pub during that one mission? Does it gel with this script I wrote?

JJJ: Actually no, it explicitely said "late summer", now it's September, you can't do that. Also he wasn't left handed as you can see from that one render here.

Ah, okay, good to know. Still, as a general advice for wannabe cheaters (or "stat fixers") my comment still stands.

I can totally see that happening

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!

-HG

Patiently waiting for the ETA announcement.

Good morning, a question, how do I change the language of the game? It is the first time that I play it, I want to put it in Spanish but in the language option only English appears

You can't, cause there is no Spanish translation.

There used to be people working on Spanish, French, German translations of the game (all volunteers), but those works have all been abandoned with no updates for the translation for a long time.

The OP says there are those other translations, but it's incorrect and that is only there since that post hasn't been corrected.

So currently game is English only.

 

[JJJ84]

Made a report asking the OP language option to be changed to "English" only.
And it looks like it's changed (that was pretty quick).

Now, I'm guessing there won't be any "Why can't I change it to X language option" question from now on.

JJJ - you have been around for almost 3 years, you know the vast majority of people don't read the OP .. LOL.

Thanks for the reply. I was excited when I read that it was in Spanish haha. Sorry if my question is repeated, but it is 1024 pages and in a language that is not mine, I was never going to find the answer haha.

Came here to comment this... Was too late I guess

Looks like the update might be quite a big and important one in terms of story and no. of renders judging by the progress updates by dev and the time it is taking to come out. Can't wait to play the finale for S1

That's what I am hoping for. I think I check for an update like 6 times a day.

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.

I like Isabel being a Dom and Like you said I like Cordia to be submissive .
