Hopefully it's just Omicron(Still bad, but it's less life threatening), but the throat soreness is a bitch(Felt like I had strep throat). Nevertheless I wish you a speedy recovery!

[Niv-Mizzet the Firemind]

Get well soon HopesGaming .
If it's anything like my sister (who was at some point in the same situation), it will be very mild symptoms.
In any case, wish you the best.

HopesGaming Cordia said to rest and get well.

 

[c3p0]

HopesGaming get well as Wilfred have said it.

And regarding your Christian game, will you add an nun mode, where you can't have lewd thoughs and all people in it, regadless of their sex, will be virgins?

Stupid question, but I didn't see an answer/explanation, how does the morality system work based on the walkthrough. I take it the + morality options are the way to go but I'm not sure what, if any, consequences are for this system *at this time.

There are no consequences for morality at this time.
And while according to the game's code (told by the dev HopesGaming) it is morality, in the game itself, it is referred to as Dispassion.

Dispassion definition in the game (under "?" button in the top menu when in free roam mode):



Hence, Increase in Morality actions will lead to Increase in Dispassion (and vice versa).

Previously Hopes said Morality/Dispassion stats may have an impact on what MC wears, but with the MC's clothing system getting totally changed with the new Contracts gameplay mechanics in v0.07, that is unclear at the moment.

That actually makes sense, thank you.

I think you the DeLuca encyclopedia JJJ84 might be off on that. I thought the whole morality stat was going to have an impact on the MC's personality in certain situations for future updates. Perhaps we can get a clarification from the Godfather himself HopesGaming.

 

[Thrill'n Flares]

Don't forget to vote for the DeLuca family in this competition.

Anyone who votes for the Deluca Family in that competition. Thinks two blow jobs from two different girls is the same as nothing but teasing. A Wife and A mother is a true ball game. Deluca Family has more story and world building that makes the wait more than bearable and has more than just teasing. This game is about story with teasing and slow progress of lewd scences. A Wife and A mother is about giving you a story while blue balling you every chance it gets. Cause there is way less progress and less story. One has mind blowing world building (Deluca Family). The other great world building. Putting everything together A wife and A mother is way more of a blue baller than Deluca Family could ever be. The other game in the competition, Jessica O'neal Hard News, I have not played so no opinion on it.

I said it based on what Hopes said back in June 2019. Though I guess it's a lot broader than clothing, with Hopes stating change to "profile image." (so yeah, should have said profile image, but I just couldn't remember Hopes' exact words back then until I searched and found the below post lol):

There are already plans for that. The plan is to change the MC's profile image at his character screen depending on morality stat the same as with the girls. The girls right now have different images depending on the status of their relations.
But I like the title idea a lot tho. Probably would not be from any popular franchises as I like to keep it original.

But on the other hand, Hopes also said back in April 2019 the following:

Only the future will tell.
What I can say is that morality will play a role.
So even though I can't say there will be a dedicated dark path, there will be *dark* options if the morality stat is *bad* enough.

But both answers were way back before v0.07 released so who knows if his plans have changed.

Actually, in reviews or forum comments stuff like "too much grind" and "blueballing" are a kind of a seal of quality to me. Yes, there can be too much of both, I've seen it with my own eyes, but usually it is applied pretty freely and just means "there is a build up, you won't fuck with every girl longing for your magic dick the first time you see her but actually have to get to know her first".

Haven't played either of the games in the competition so I have no idea the extent of the whole "blueballing" tbh.
But I do remember how Rebirth thread sometimes used to be plagued with with the whole "blueballing" remarks and trolling, that is until things started off with Carmen, and now Callisto.

Granted, with DeLuca, so far for season 1, we will only have Eiza (a side girl) who does full (penetration) sex, and rest being orals (Isabel, Amita) & teases, but honestly?
Some will obviously moan and complain saying "Give us the sex already!" but for me, the pace that Hopes sets with DeLuca I feel is natural.

Don't know when the sex will start coming (whether it will be season 2, or season 3), but the story is enough to keep me engaged and make me even forget about the sex most of the times, and sexual teases as well as the buildups that exist right now are I should say are pretty sufficient.
And when the sex comes it will be even better, cause sex floodgates would be open, but knowing Hopes style, he's not gonna drop the ball on the story (well I have faith he won't).

About the dispassion stat - still not 100% on how it will be yet. Honestly, I may even remove it. Nothing for sure yet.
But the plan is still to have it as in the in-game description. Just remember that it is called dispassion and not morality.

About blueballing.
This is 100% bias, but I don't believe the game can be a blueballing game.
The way blue balling work is that the player plays a game and expect sexual encounters as the main goal. The developer then either give it quick or builds it up to create more arousal. And if the dev does it too long, it creates blue balling syndrome.
But even with heavy story games, it can be blue balling as the story revolves around a sexual theme.

However, with our game here. The story is non-sexual and the lewd is not the main focus. It's part of the game, but not what it is all revolved.
All the story sections are about attacking headquarters, finding out MC's background and the dead of traitors and a father killing his own son. Not much arousal in the main story part.
Even in the side quest which is the lewd part of the game, there contains a lot of stories that has nothing to do with lewd.
If you get blueballing during Luna's flashback, then there is something very wrong.

There is not enough 'constant' sexual arousal situations and focus for it to create blueballing.

Just the way I see it. But I am biased, that I won't deny, heh.

boss you will never hear me complain about blueballing

don't forget I'm the guy who cried his eyes out literally when he thought he had to cheat on Luna

I actually couldn't sleep and it was affecting my health that's when I asked you to put in the option where I don't have to cheat on Luna

but that was a long time ago I don't blame you if you don't remember me
but more importantly how are you feeling

I highlighted the problem in blue. There are players with some expectations which are not grounded in reality. They want a certain playstyle and they expect it from every game, no matter how obvious it is to others that this game won't be it. They will complain that a Pinball game is shit because it isn't a first person shooter (and I only wish I made this example up - it can be found in the comment section of the IGN review of "Pinball Arcade"). So there will be people who see the preview pics in the original posting and wanna fuck them NAOW, and everything else is blueballing. And milking.

I'm 100% sure Hopes is well aware of this, because you are basically describing how our infamous Filius Canis' mind works.

I have to agree with your general concept EXCEPT..... you have presented us with a stable of really hot women to fall for so it's still your fault!
