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

[Thrill'n Flares]

One update per year. This update better be at least 2 hours of gameplay.

You do not read this thread do yeah? He decided after the last update that next would be a major update and then he got covid. Also it is not like this is his job. Secondly why are you acting like you are entitled to an update on a game that not only you do not pay for, but also a game done as a hobby?

DPC had covid too. No problem, 2-3 huge huge updates per year. How do you know I am not a patreon???

Just in general: Having Covid isn't the same as having Covid, as with any other ailment. I have friends who were tested positive but didn't feel a thing, one friend of mine however is still trying to recover more than one year later and moving around in his house is taxing enough.

And it is easy to guess that you're not a Patreon since you seem to be lacking a lot of info that a Patreon would have.

 

[akiostein]

best and best. Even though the update is a little long, I'm still patiently waiting. and I hope this game is not finished too soon. I hope there are more stories because this will be more beautiful like reading a novel. Good game.

DPC is a full-time dev, and iirc has been for quite a while now.
HopesGaming (or Hopes in short), is not. As I already said in the post above your post, he develops this game as a hobby (and has an actual job).

Of course, the output between a full-time dev and a part-time dev would be clearly different.
Comparing the two of them shows your lack of understanding of each of their situations.

I think you mean 2 if you're lucky with DrPinkCake. His updates take 5-7 months plus usually. This next one will actually be a fairly quick turnaround for him, but not supposed to be as large as his usual updates. Not complaining about DPC mind you, I love Being a Dik as well as this game. But not really an accurate comparison. I'm certain DPC makes more than 99% of all developers on here, and I'm sure he has an incredible set up at this point making it easier. Not to mention the difference between part time and full time, or that Covid effects people differently. It's been said.

If you are a supporter on patreon..



Wahahaha

First of all, DPC hasn't been on a 3 updates per year pace for a quite a long while now.

Secondly, do you honestly think it's a fair comparison between a full-time dev (DPC), whose job is to develop a game and his livelihood is dependent on it, and a part time hobbyist dev (Hopes), who has a real life full time job to pay the bills, and the game is just something he does in his own spare time?

Read really fucking slow and it can take as long as you want.

Lighten up Francis..

 

[Dalurker]

So, I just reached the end of 0.07 and I loved it. Can't wait for more! Even when I just have to wait a long time, actually, lol.

But I liked it! The erotic scenes are good enough and I like the slow burn feel of all of it. I want to progress with Lady Cordia the most.

What I wasn't expecting is to enjoy the plot and dialogue. Some exchanges are really funny. I hope this one keeps being worked on to completion.

 

[HopesGaming]

The update will not be 3 to 4 hours of gameplay. Honestly, it will be a normal-sized update.
Until I work on this full time, expect the unexpected in the development.
We're getting closer to the time I can work on this full time, but that depends on how it all goes with steam release and other stuff behind the curtains.
But until then, the fact of the development process will not change. I know that will disappoint a lot of people, and I of course hate to disappoint the actual players of the game. But alas, this is life.
But updates will be quicker in the future, no matter full work or not.

I saw your Patreon post and first and foremost: Get well soon! Your health and real life are most important. I'm very hype for this 3-4h update

The actual season finale event has been moved back to the update after the next update, so I'm assuming that's gonna be the a quicker release. But can we expect anything extra on top of the season finale event?

For example, some things like Lore section would actually be pretty nice to see finally added in-game main menu (despite them not being main game story/events etc).

Not like I need any help on how to use the search function, but just took a look out of curiosity.

For those that don't know how to use the search function, this video is actually quite helpful (kinda wish it was available to be viewed right away, instead of having to download, but alas, I guess it's the size issue).

Wonder if this could be added to the OP, so people don't keep asking the same question over and over again (and saves everyone else trying to explain to these people again, and again).

N7, any chance above post by c3p0 could get added? Perhaps an appropriate name would be "How to search for Dev/Updates Post"

dev is not your slave dumb fuck you are in pirate site just wait !

may be he is patreon but just writes in here too?

 

[kaleh]

If you are a troll get a life. If you are serious. Get a life. You aint paying for it. Hopes is very vocal in this thread and has been updating his patrons on how the update is going. He even caught covid. You should not demand someone update a game you are getting for free when even a patron had come in and threw words of support towards Hopes. You also have no clue what he does and does not do. Intitlement issues only make you sadder. Get rid of that cancer.

may be he is patreon?

 

[Cartageno]

may be he is patreon but just writes in here too?

That would be nonsensical at best because as a Patreon you have different, better methods to voice what you want.

Also people with this level of entitlement as shown in the post will rarely be Patreons because usually they feel they are owed everything without having to sacrifice anything in return.

 

[JJJ84]

may be he is patreon?

That is very unlikely, because as Carta said above, Patreons don't need to voice their opinions that way in order to get the dev's attention that they are not satisfied with the progress.
They can just unsubscribe to Patreon.

And pretty much those who unsubscribe from his Patreon, Hopes knows and is understanding of their decision to do so (since even he admits that this update has been taking too long).

One person who was previously a Patreon said the following:

"I was previously subbed to his Patreon, but I felt the update was taking too long, so I dropped the pledge."

Now compare that to what this person is saying:

"Update your fucking game, my god."

Patreons have much better understanding of Hopes' situation (I'd imagine almost all, if not all of them are his discord members), and since they understand, they don't have that entitlement issue, and it would be very, very unlikely they would take such a tone even if they're disappointed.

Sofar, only people who complain in that manner are those who are non-patreons.

 

[Thrill'n Flares]

without sex scenes?

This game is not about "quick releases" nor is it a "slow burn"...unless you the "quick release" type. If you are the "quick release" type then you will feel blue balled. This game is more about the story and world building. It has great renders, great characters and lewd scenes that fit the story well.

may be he is patreon?

First, those who pay are not called "patreons." They are called patrons. The page and account are called patreons.
Secondly, Why would a patron come here to complain? This is not a place where patrons flock to. This the place that pirates gather. If that dumb dumb is a patron then he would be a dumb one. Where is the logic for a patron to come a pirate site to complain? They can complain on Hope patreon and in his discord. Those are the places where patrons flock to. By complaining in front of other patrons it COULD hurt a dev and encourage more working IF they were being lazy. If the dumb dumb was a patron he would know last update was an overhaul of code work on missions and new content. This coming update was suppose to be a season finale. Then Hope got covid. Also this is currently his hobby. He is trying to make it his job. Right now he is trying to figure what format this game will take when he tries to get it on steam. This dev is clearly no slouch. The dumb dumb was clearly a troll farting out its mouth.
