I understand you.That's the thing there are still some bangers regarding story and gameplay on this website, but this is really something special and i can't wait to see how the story progresses.
I cannot tell about all the games on F95 (it is impossible to know everyone), but, there is only 2 that kept me just because of the story.
One, obviously, is The DeLuca Family. I don't intend to be presumptuous, but for me, Hopes made maybe the first authentic ADULT Visual Novel. Not completed yet, it is true. But has a huge potential. It is very possible that I am wrong about it, just because I do not know all projects over here.
I'm not here to discuss definitions itselfs or tags, like whats is "VN", "Sandbox", or else. For me, "Adult" is related to the story itself. That means you (the player) will be not only involved on a mindless sex plot for some hours. Many other games around are fun, but only very few can make you remember their characters. DeLucas is one of them.
Not to compare, but a example, "WVM" is classified as a VN harem story, which MC can fuck anyone who moves. Is it fun? Of course it is. But you will never see a single one character as Luna on that. Because it is not suppose to be. The female characters on WVM are, on their best, narrow, shallow, or just plain as it is. It is fun, but it is like a "gonzo" story. Nothing wrong with that, but it is like a fast food (to my perspective, of course). DeLucas is on the opposite side of that.
At this point, I believe is a character's depth from Luna (and others) is that makes a difference between this project and others, on the term "Adult VN". You can have fun, jokes, boobs, asses, and many more things at DeLucas, but not enough, you have a potential badass mafia story. "Potential", just because it is not yet a finished story.
Besides, one thing about DeLucas that makes me never complain about the time between new releases: "My name is Luna" is not a story that you can develop on one single day. It takes time. One another is that I am not supporting Hopes on Patreon, due to my poor income (never encourage your kids to be journalists, it works only on comic books!
). To me, it is a matter of respect to the dev, and the other people on this thread.*Like the philosopher Zorlun said: "My english will make your eyes bleed"

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

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.

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"

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).

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