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

[JJJ84]

Same for me. I went through it both times as well. Don't know if I can survive a third.

Well, only one way to make sure that doesn't happen.

Ctrl fast skip, skip skip!!

did u fuck the elf yet?

Uh, wrong game dude.

 

[Mikeleg]

You will have to start over. Release 07 came with a complete overhaul of the quest/contracts system.
there is no way to adjust your save files for that.

Thanks!

Does this game have actual Sex in it or just teasing? The Genre tag doesn't really mention any.?

lol look again.



As to where this vaginal sex tag applies, it applies with the latest update's event "Unofficial Boss", with Eiza, a side girl.
Regarding oral sex, there are two instances, once with Isabel one of the main girls in event "A Soldier's Sacrifice" (Netori route), and another time with Sister Amita in event "What is Truly weak is Truly strong" (Ombra Mission).

There will definitely be bed action in the game with the main girls, but all in good time.
This game puts priority on its story first, so you won't be seeing girls be hungry for MC's cock early on like several games may typically do on this site.

Heh, when you've been in the threads for a while, you sort of get used to people saying really silly (or absurd, if they reach the Filius level, in which case, congratulations would be in order? ) questions like "Where is the sex?" for story based games (not just this game, but couple of others as well).

When you get to that stage, well.... I would be

Well, considering he's playing poker with the Serpents (and is on a never-losing win streak), I'd imagine it's gonna be a while.
Cause you know, Serpents have their ego, and when they lose they will be like "One more game"

Will we have our girl Gracie on Christmas Night or before that?

Hopes said he really wishes to get the next update (i.e. season finale) out before the New Years so we'll have to see (it he does release it during December, I'm not ruling out any time. Can be before Christmas, or even after it).

 

[justsum]

An update (Season end) for the holidays. That's AWESOME news!

 

[whichone]

meh, dev posts do nothing for me, the last update took nearly a year and everyone said "gameplay overhaul", now it already passed 7 months, and hopes is hoping he could release it before the year ends.
I am not even hating here, I love the game, I want to see more of it.
the last update was short af with 2-3 events and this one is taking so long and will also be disappointing if this one is short.

You complain that the last update was short, despite the fact that it was well communicated that it was a complete rewrite of the game, so only had a relatively small amount of main story progress as a result.
You ask if the game is abandoned, 5 posts after the dev has posted a status update, giving clear progress indicator and commentary on what he's working on.
That's not "dev posts doing nothing for you", nothing is going to do anything for you there. That's just blatantly ignorant.

It is okay to not be happy with the update content. Sure, the last update was major but did not advance the story that much. However, if you are/were a patreon, you should have more information than just the one from asking randomly "is abonnedd?" in a thread. Also I wonder how you managed to spend $100 in 6 months with a $9 patreonage ...

There you go, using that logic and "common" (?) sense again.
Doesn't work with these people, you know that.
Even their maths don't add up to support their lies about being a patron.

 

[Lorenz1]

it was well communicated that it was a complete rewrite of the game

Which literally no one asked for, and the whole change resulted in addition of 3 bare bones quests written not even by the dev, with characters we hear first time about and that do not influence the main story in any way, shape or form, and have no lasting consequence. If you do not want to include the main characters in the quests, why do you even add them?

Basically, a whole year of development was wasted on the fillers, and now the first content update since forever is just a few Gracie events.

Are we in the full-on "1 update per year" cycle now? Cause it will probably give a ration of 1 render/week or something like that.

The point of the quests is worldbuilding and flavour. In a game that's focused on the story so heavily it really matters.
As for the code rewrite maybe you didn't ask for it and it doesn't matter to you, but for some people (me included) such a change was absolutely welcome and honestly should have been there from the start. I'd rather have this system than the grind before it.
Lastly, this rewrite afforded Hopes the opportunity to clean his codebase. Even if this particular rewrite hadn't happened, it's quite possible one would have to happen eventually.

Great to hear you're doing well. My question would be:

Is light blue more or less quiet than a fish?

(Got asked this by a very young man recently and am kinda stumped)

A fish is blue, so it has the same quietness as light blue.

"To be fair this game needs no sex, i think that without sex this game is the 2nd coming of jesus christ in terms of how good the story is. If you think the game needs any sex you are a brainless idiot who only wants it to be a fuckfest, I am the best deveolper on the site cause i actually care about these things"

I just like writing stories
Never meant to offend you or anyone else with my writing. Sorry about that.

But I never look at what people ask. I work based on my own wishes and preferences. That will of course mean that some will dislike the direction and style, but that is just part of life. Once you start trying to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one.

About the update time. That does indeed suck and not something I am planning to keep being like this. But alas, it is what it is at the moment.

Peace.

Was scrolling back to answer some questions I may have missed. But couldn't find any questions. (Do tell if I missed it)
Also, when you guys talk about the story and the girls. I read it all (like a sneaky ghost).

I find it fascinating how you guys interpreted it all so different. Make me both excited and fearful for how you guys will react for future 'situations'

Well, I have a question: - Do you have planned a "reencounter" between MC and that Ombra's Quasi-capo? (on a Frenetico Tournament or on other situation?)

 

[Boehser Onkel]

I got 3. The other two stand outs for writing being Summer's Gone and Chasing Sunsets.

Now and Then is a close 4th though. Excellent post apocalyse story.

i may add "Lady in Blue" here -- deep rabbit hole trap

I'd say that the most important person in this equation probably asked for it--Hopes. Hopes is not [REDACTED] who seems to let his $40 patrons guide his project.

Any news about update from what I have seen there's isn't even a superficial ETA let alone the definite one.
