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

[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.

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:
View attachment 1444724 View attachment 1444725
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.

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!

 

[justsum]

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

Same here.

 

[Omega Deose]

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.

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?"

question teh quest a soldatos sacrifece says only netoriroute what does it means?

question teh quest a soldatos sacrifece says only netoriroute what does it means?

Netori =
Cuckolding someone. The protagonist (MC) forces a love interest (Isabel) who is already in a relationship with a third party (Antonio) into a physical relationship, and the love interest comes to like it over time, thus either cheating or breaking up with their original partner.

Not to be mistaken with NTR (Netorare), which I've seen people do often.
Below is the definition of NTR, and how it compares with Netori:

Netorare (NTR) =
NTR or netorare is when your lover cheats on you with someone else.
It's a common tag in hentai or doujins.
There's also netori which describes basically the opposite, so when you steal someone else's lover.


Taken literally from dictionary definitions, yet time and time again, people ask "why isn't there an NTR tag with this game?" lol
I mean, an NTR tag would make sense if Antonio was the MC instead of the actual MC of the game, and player's Antonio somehow chose to push Isabel away, but Antonio is not the p.o.v. character here.
MC is.

Also F95 official tag definition are here: https://f95zone.to/threads/tags-rules-and-list-updated-2021-05-02.10394/
That are the ones that count here regardless of what you and I think about them.

Yeah, though the problem is, there is no official tag for Netori.

F95's official Tag definition actually matches with the dictionary definition;

• NTR [Designed to cause jealousy by having the romantic interest involved with someone other than the MC.]

While there is the Cheating tag (which DeLuca has and official definition below),it's not really the same meaning as Netori, thus the site not having an official Netori tag has caused couple of people on this game's thread (and others with similar Netori scenario) cry out saying "Why no NTRRRRRRRRRRR tag!!!"

• Cheating [A significant other having sex with someone other than their partner.]

Cheating = (netori - jealousy) where partner doesn't know the affair
Or
Netori = (cheating + jealousy) partner may have a knowledge of in most cases.
So in the case of Isabel, cheating mostly is the correct tag as Antonio has no knowledge of sorts.

Hey if anyone was forced it was me. Isabel attached me and put my life in danger because she was pissed off at her husband.

I tried my very hardest to fight her off as she was blowing me, but with all that yoga she does she was just to strong. Her vacuum like grip couldn’t be broken.

Yup.
That's my story & I'm sticking to it.
Not sure Antonio's gonna believe it, but I'm going with it.

My goodness!! Give that man a medal for the "horrors" he had to endure!!

It was a hard job (fnarr fnarr), but someone had to take one for the team.

Yup. She even have you on a tight grip and you needed to lubricate it, so you could break out of it.

I can see that, totally buy it. But why is your story so similar to my own?
