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

[Freki.g]

There is a distinct difference between legitimate & illegitimate complaints.
The former can be used for positive improvement.
The latter are often, as evidenced by the majority of complaints found in this thread, completely invalid &, therefore, just a complete waste of everyone's time.
Particularly when the answer to their complaint has already been provided and discussed.
That's just ignorant.

You won't be able to find a thread without a reckless post.
It means that a dev capable focuses on the fans and constructive opinions and ignores the rest, but anyone should act in this way.
So my considerations are referred to, even if it was understood, to all useful people and actions.
I repeat, for the rest there are no alternatives, only not to reply if you don't want to waste time.

What you actually said, was:

For me, it means that everyone is useful here, no one excluded and everyone has the same rights to express their opinions

You specifically stated that "everyone is useful here, no one excluded". Which was then proven incorrect.
So you're now saying that only useful posts are, um, useful?
Thanks for that brainwave.

But, who defines what is "useful", in your personal system?
I'm sure different people will have differing views on what constitutes "usefulness".
What is useful to one, may be useless to another.
Does your definition match what others choose to define it as? Or is this simply an undefined, subjective opinion of what is useful?
Some of the people making illegitimate complaints will feel justified and valid in doing so.
Some require having their error proven, to show that it was not legitimate.
Some are just trolls, posting purposefully antagonistic comments, hoping to get some attention.
It can be a fine line, discerning between them.

Is this game dead or in coma?

Neither, but I can't say the same for some of the whiners' brains here.

I just want to remind everyone that negativity has a loud voice.
We are easily drawn to it and tend to ignore the positive, which in turn makes it feel like the negative is overwhelming and that the thread is being overrun with toxicity.
The truth is that it is not. The positivity is just being overlooked due to the 'snarky' people. Remember not to ignore the positive comments because those are the ones with real value.

Now back to finishing the damn update. Just need to do these animations.
Most animations I've done in an update!
My Christian only game is turning so naughty... God, please forgive this sinner.

Well, you're using the DeLuca Testament, so I'm sure God will forgive ya.

Was it already the thrid one? Or is it the second or the first one and how was it again?
First one, forget and forgive.
Second one, explain and forgive.
Third one, remove and forget.

I can remember the third one very good, but I tend to forget the first two.

Do you even work as a writer, your writing is impeccable

I have not.
Deluca is my first writing project.
Thank you for the kind words!

Not really a question, but geez, I hope we get to see plenty more naughty scenes with our nun sisters Amita & Amata in the future.
Perhaps they will give blessings for our MC which will make him a firm believer in their faith.

And you saying Gracie's lewd will progress more than Isabel did (with her BJ).
Heh, you know what?
My naughty brain is trying to think what could be more steamier than BJ yet not going "all the way" with Gracie.

Looking much forward to Gracie events (which is surprising, cause in all honesty, Gracie is my third favorite [equal place with Isabel] after Luna & Cordia).

 

[DarkFencer1]

I hope we get to see plenty more naughty scenes... ...in the future.

And so, slowly we have all become sinners. May God forgive us all. Not just the writer/developer.

 

[Thrill'n Flares]

yes patience is a virtue but this is not patience. this is sloth

Sloth? So you know whether or not he is putting work in the game? Either you have cameras in his house or you have an investigator watching him. LOL
Its funny how people assume the negative and act like their assumptions are proven fact.

 

[Thrill'n Flares]

I think this thread proves that communicating with your audience is more important than the actual work you put into a product. This dev has released less content in the last two years than ICSTOR, yet most people here still defend him whereas ICSTOR's threads are full of nothing but people calling him a scammer. In my opinion that's purely because the dev keeps up regular progress updates and engages with his own audience in this thread.

If guys like ICSTOR, Gumdrop, Lewdlab, etc. would follow this dev's example, they'd probably be making way more money while still putting out little to no content.

We also defend Hopes, cause we have seen devs put out less content and act like they did a big update. Hopes seems tranparent. So its easier to defend him and give him the benefit of the doubt. Also we know this is his hobby. We cant expect updates every month or so all the time. He is entitled to his life and to keep his mental health from deteriorating. If he treated this like it was his job then he would most likely not only not enjoy working on the game, but quality would go down as well. We humans are simple creatures. We do best what we enjoy. When what we enjoy becomes a burden it becomes a burden on our health mentally as well as physically. What we enjoy we put massive amounts of thought into, but sense its not burdensome we end up succeeding. Cause we have no reason to obsess over it.

It doesn't show that this is your first writing project. The writing in this game makes even the best rendered games (here in f95) pale in comparison. You really have a knack for this.

This is my second post ,in all this time being in here...
Please dont let anyone change anything of your novel,anyone can write anything in the net. What you do with De Luca is really good,still some will complain about everything because thats what they do. Keep the positivity and do your thing...
After all this is for free ,and nobody is forcing anyone to be here...

 

[c3p0]

After all this is for free ,and nobody is forcing anyone to be here...

Not true.

Gracie forced me to teach her.
Luna forced me to show her she is not broken.
Isabel forced me to show her she is still cared for.
My dona forced me to show her she is still a human with all needs and emotion.
And Eiza forced me to acknowledge her thank you.

Game now! Or...i'll be so sad at you!

Engagement matters.

Neglect, also matters.

I'm a free rider. At least until the game's finished. Been burned too many times. So now I watch, I wait, and if the game is ever seen through to proper conclusion I'll pay one time bonus of anywhere from 20 to 50 bucks depending on quality. I know it's not as nice as getting 10 bucks a months for two years but I think it's fair.

I point that out because as a free rider I really have no right to whine about slow updates. But even I have a pet peeve and that's the dev who starts a new game in the midst of the current one and begins to neglect one while continuing to work on the other....but still swearing up and down he's working on both.

I ain't gonna name any names but that will get even my free riding dander up a bit.

 

[HopesGaming]

Your name reminded me of someone. So I made a quick search.
You were the guy that got pissed off due to the Filius event in the game and started to psychoanalyze me. Claiming I got ego problems, made a scene due to anger and what not.
Fun times.

Anyway, you're totally right. The content was 5-10 mins and people are delusional which is my fault as I am talking to them and misleading/manipulating them.

Now that is out of the way, let's get the thread back on topic.
