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

[JJJ84]

Yes Jan. or Feb.

That's not necessarily confirmed though.
Given Hopes' recent dev post, he seemed pretty darn motivated to try to get the season finale out before New Years.
I mean, I'm not saying he definitely will, but given his determination, wouldn't rule it out either (and personally, hope that he succeeds).

Me too. I just found this game a month ago and I love it. I feel this is the best story of any of the games here. The writing is superb. Characters are amazing. And the mc is not a complete idiot. Love the game.

This game is sooo anime without the style not being Anime. But there is no doubt he was inspired by Anime

This game looks interesting, but I have a question (without spoilers, please!). How is the main male (player) character? Is he bland and kind of meek/eager to please, or is he more assertive and confident? And do the females also have interesting personalities? Thanks!

Anyone know if we will have to start a new game when the new release drops? That seems to have been the case for the last few releases.

He is bland and kind of meek, but that is entirely intentional on his part; dude has layers he's trying to hide for his own reasons that we don't know yet.

Dang - I was hoping he'd be more assertive and confident in general (just not to the point of undue arrogance). I guess I'll wait and check back in a few updates to see if he's revealed those layers yet or is still meek. lol. Thank you for answering though!

Sooo this update is taking much more time to release than the reworked version took...
What's the excuse this time?

That he add one week to the release date each time someone brings this topic up. Also the release date isn't set in stone yet.

You want assertive? Go play leap of faith, city of broken dreamers, retrieving the past, oath of loyalty, banshee town, life happened, killer project.

city of broken dreamers, retrieving the past have alpha leader hero type MC you will enjoy.

oath of loyalty, banshee town, life happened have mob actual henchmen/bosses/killers
who drive the story forward,
not answering to the whims of other characters.

killer project has a retired actual mafia hitman - play that
and you will see where you should be at in terms of skill and cunning to join the serpents!

This game covers the younger years like bronx tale ....
Those other games are black hawk down or goodfellas.

I actually see the potential for Filius material!

Filius: "Waaaaaaaaaaah!! The evil director (Dev) is not releasing the film (update) now! I will make sure everyone notices the crime of this director!! Do you hear me world?! I will be heard!!!!" (while getting dragged off by his friend who shakes his head)

"his friend"? Shouldn't characters be believable and have motivation?

Totally true.
Filius doesn't really have friends, just those who are forced to bear with him.

Well, he's still a mere soldato, a very very low rank in the Family, so he's definitely not in a position to be acting assertive and confident from the beginning (and he acts like he does for his own survival, to be underestimated by others).

But he sometimes does have his moments where he shows a bit of confidence and his pride as a man.

And girls, well...... their personalities are wonderful. Can't say more than that about them without talking about spoilers.

MC due to the reasons above, acts like a coward now, but the Dev, HopesGaming has said that time will come in the future where he will undergo a change.

Can't say how you would feel about that, but unless MC's personality is your only determinant for your pick in games, I'd highly recommend playing. Cause the game is well worth it.

Just adding to Canto Forte's suggestions, give a shot to Long Road Home, it's awesome.
As for this game, mc can't afford to be assertive in his current circumstances.

game is only in version 0.07.2 and still in alpha and there's 1067 pages... ? the hell ! it's a game of throne saga or the game is nearly abandonned ??

Version number doesn't mean squat for a lot of games in this site (there are some that do, but for several, they are not relevant).
For example, a game which was v0.35 may jump to v0.89 in the following update.

In fact for this game, upcoming update will mark the end of Season 1 (and game has had a lot of content until now).


The page numbers, it just comes to show people like discussing about this game a lot.
As to "abandoned?" Well, ask yourself this. Does the game look abandoned?

I quite like the 'hidden badass' trope, though for it to really work as more than just an informed attribute you need a few scenes of him getting cornered and having to unleash his real abilities, to the shock of the guy that thought he was easy prey. With nobody actually seeing this except for the schmuck who doesn't live to tell the tale of course.

Yeah, not sure it counts as badass, but I'm quite fond of MC's scene with quasi-Capo in the Ombra mission.
Cause everyone, including Caterina, Amata, and Onorina thought he would be helpless in that situation yet MC came through and took the Quasi-Capo by surprise (since only one who knew what MC was capable of, was Gildart, due to him keeping an eye on MC since childhood).

Of course, Quasi-Capo survived in MC's case so their next encounter I am quite intrigued with, heh.

The more MC is forced into situations like this, the more he'll need to show his hand, and while MC will likely try to avoid getting into such situations (to stay, underestimated), this will surely change when he totally breaks out of his "coward" shell he is currently in.
