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

[Kagarus]

No more stat books as an example. (Well, one, but you get it during a mission and do not buy it.)

Damn, then that shopkeeper scammed 20 bucks out of me

But yeah, the freeroam stuff should be 1500-1700 or so, maybe another grand for equipment, and if you go really overboard with consumables another 1-2k.

 

[whichone]

i found a bug when i wanan throw away itmes i get this error messege and have to close the game

Yeah, unfortunately you're stuck with the duplicates.
I think Hopes said he thought about introducing a "Sell" option, but it messed with the game's economy too much, so isn't going to happen.
I have 21 Fedoras & 8 pairs of Holy Pants in my inventory.
The option to remove them from our inventories is a known error.

 

[Cartageno]

Has that changed since the WT was done?
The book for +1 Knowledge, you specifically had to buy that from the Market Trader, for $20, on the Nimble Fingers contract.

You are of course both correct and I was wrong - well the sentence was wrong and misphrased, I meant something else. I was conflicting "buy" as in "pay money" with the fact that you do not order it via PC anymore, with Wilfred commenting on your literature preferences (okay, he never did that either I think). Yes, you need to buy it but it's a one off in a mission.

lol Was double purpose. Both kinda checking, in case it had changed so WT needs updating & also just pulling your leg a little.
Figured you just meant that you don't need to order them on PC/buy them in freeroam mode anymore.

I lost count the number of fedoras I had. Maybe it is a retirement plan for MC to open a hat store after the end of contract with Delucas.

 

[Paco Loco]

lol Yeah, that new clothing store in Lucania looks nice, but they seem to only sell one type of hat.
They also sell these funky trousers but, again, that's the only other item in the store.
All they sell are 20,000 identical Fedoras & 8,000 pairs of Holy Pants!

It is good for Lucania and Deluca's army to have a lot of supplies. This business will be a success!

Aah hahaha hahaha, that made me spit my drink out, I laughed so much!
Bravo, sir!

If Wilfred's team can have the masks, then MC's team can all wear Fedora (R) & Holy Pants (Epic) as their uniform!

Talking of clothing, I wonder if the next tier's items will come with more these "Ability" attributes:

Seems these are the only 2 items which currently provide them.
Wonder if we'll see them used more in the next, "C" Contracts, tier.

Weird. Cause it worked for me. I dumped all the dupes.

So did I - without any problems. Aren't computer programs wonderful things? Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't, and nobody knows why ...

 

[Paco Loco]

Cool. Consider yourself lucky!
Loads of people have the issue where they can't be discarded, myself included.
Click "Discard" and get:

Spoiler: I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

When you Ignore to get back to the game, it's screwed. The freeroam screen now overlaps the Shop and you can change room in the background (see the bed, behind).

Then it goes to the "uncaught exception" again.

I have the same problem here. Even I do not use any mods or cheats on entire playthrough.

 

[whichone]

Same as you mate, no cheats/mods, nothing external.
It seems to be quite common & I'm sure I remember it being brought to Hopes' attention, think it was when he mentioned about not wanting us to have the option to sell them, because he felt it would distort the economy too much.

 

[JJJ84]

Damn, then that shopkeeper scammed 20 bucks out of me

Heh, given how frugal our MC is, and his reaction to prices for items that he buys online, I'd say there may just be more instances in the future where he goes "Damn, I feel scammed" lol

Thinking about total expenditure, we have to buy the jeans, the 2 x bottles of wine & the spy cam, for the story.
Is there anything else?
Can't remember the total cost for each, but think the jeans were somewhere around $100/150? The first bottle of wine was similar cost, the 2nd was more expensive. + the camera, is this even $1,000?
Then, plus any clothes for stats needed for the contracts, but they're not too expensive, either.

You can earn $40 in seconds, just from the first contract, even if you have low stats. You only need the Stealth Hat & Stealth Trousers, for this. Just steal the jacket from the arguing couple & the jewelry from the house.
Once you gain better clothing and can complete all encounters, you should earn around $150 from Nimble Fingers.
I don't think money should really be a problem.

MC also has to buy training clothes in order to start that dance practice sessions with Gracie in the living room.

And yeah, I agree. Money never felt like a problem.
Even if the player find himself short for a moment, with a bit of mild grind money can be earned to buy initially unaffordable items.

Hmmm..... not quite sure we'll have higher tier than Legendary items, but perhaps different kind of Legendary tier items where stats are distributed differently (for example Lock Glasses is accessory, so another Legendary accessory could distribute points towards other attributes which aren't intelligence, knowledge or perception) ?

Ooh, thanks! Forgot about them.
Even with the Long Coat, for $500, I can't see total spend needing more than $2,000.
$35 on the Stealth Hat & Trousers & you can earn $40 back from Nimble Fingers. Twice per day for $80, plus whatever you earn from Snooping Bonans.
Got to be able to earn $100 per game day, at entry level stats.
Did we get cash for Promotion, too?

Oh, sorry, I don't mean the tier, I mean the special Ability stat that those 2 clothing items have.
Deductive Reasoning - Rank 1 & Deflect - Rank 1.

 

[JJJ84]

Deductive Reasoning - Rank 1 & Deflect - Rank 1.

Ahhh, icic.......
I guess it would all depend on how many variety of special abilities Hopes is thinking of.

Given Legendary is leagues beyond in terms of rarity of other items, this whole rarity I'd like to imagine is just not due to the higher stats, but also more valuable the ability skill is at higher tiers like Legendary.
So it's gonna be interesting to see what sort of abilities comes up.

Man.......I'm really looking forward to season 1 finale, but also really looking forward to the whole Frenetico Tournament.
I mean yes, biggest reason I'm hyped for the tournament would be to scuffle with other soldiers in the DeLuca Mafia world (with Luna, Gracie, Isabel, Cordia and rest of the Family as our cheering squad ), but part of the fun would also be the rewards that come with the event (Luna said money and rare items, I'm less motivated for money and more motivated for rare items tbh, heh).

I'm sure I remember the Deflect ability getting used in fights & I'm not sure if the Deductive Reasoning one got used in the tough fight during the rescue of Eiza's sister. It might have been Intelligence, or Knowledge, that I'm thinking of.
Don't forget, only one of those items is Legendary. The Fedora is only (Rare). Both are Rank 1 Ability.
Also, both items came from the same contract, Nimble Fingers. None of the other contracts' special reward items had any Ability. The BPV, or Holy Pants, for example.
I remember that Hopes said other people wrote the Contract stories, but I presume he defined & created the rewards...

There are obviously 4 other clothing item areas. So maybe 6 Abilities, total? 2 for D, 1 for C, 1 for B and 2 for A? Or some other combination.
Our hands, chest, coat & trouser items all have no Ability, as it stands.
I'm hoping one (or two!) of the C Contract special items have one.

I wonder if fights in The Frenetico will apply our Contract stats? Presumably so, which potentially makes gaining more Ability stats even more important!
If so, I definitely want to have access to C rank Contracts & their rewards' & gear's improved stats, before I enter The Frenetico!
I'm also pretty sure that we'll need some more build up of MC v Dominico, before The Frenetico, as I'm confident that's looking like a prime point for them to reach a showdown!

a sell option would be great

 

[JJJ84]

a sell option would be great

I previously asked Hopes (the Dev) before perhaps whether we would be able to sell obsolete items from the inventory (I've got mountain-loads of piled up Holy trousers, pants, gloves and so etc ) at second-hand price (perhaps 70% of the original price?).

I think Hopes' reply then was that he's wary that if player is to have the option to sell, it might leave them with too much money and make the contracts a bit too easy. Having said that, he did say he'll think about it.

So we'll see how it goes.

 

[c3p0]

Would be fun, if the shop s pay you not more than 5$ for the used stuff and each time our grumpy MC makes a comment about it .
"Paid over 400$ and now this cutthroat pay me only 5$ back for like new clothes, how frugal can they be?"
