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

[Paco Loco]

Cosmetic Slot is a very interesting suggestion in my opinion.
If that becomes an option, I'd actually like the attire that MC actually wears in the main story to be the one to use for the appearance slot (it gives consistency between main story and the contracts in doing so), whereas awesome-but-ugly stuff can go in the real equip slot as you said.

If cosmetic slot is not an option, then alternative could be Legendary (stats) attire sets, which match in appearance, with each specific part of the set being reward for getting the S rank in the contract, with the player eventually getting the whole set (with getting better at contracts).

Both approach sounds interesting, but I guess it's something to consider for Hopes when he goes back to thinking about the contracts.

And... What about weaponry?

Even the MC is kinda new on direct involvement in the mafias business and he is still on low ranks, there is much to progress on this matter. After all, after the rework, he could just use his fists or a single semi-automatic pistol on missions/contracts, so far. It will be interesting to see how the development will go on. There will be weapons for close-combat? Since the game is not for minors and has a buckets of violence and blood, I see as natural to have a various sets of weapons, even some "eccentric", like a Gottardo's flail - not for MC's use, of course.

So far, there's only hardened gloves and pistols, but given there were other sorts of weapons (such as crowbar, knife etc) in previous version of contracts before they went through complete overhaul I think there will most likely be other close-quarter weapons in the future.

I want a katana and a rocket launcher then I'm good.

 

[Jimayo]

I want twin naginatas and a deadpool costume. And enough guns and ammo to invade fort knox.

Then you end up forgetting important things and have to go maximum effort.

Trusty rocket launcher never fails.

I want a Katana launcher

 

[JJJ84]

I want a Katana launcher

That like rocket launcher, but shoots Katanas instead of rockets?
Hehe, I can almost picture it now

MC talking in (Keanu like tone): Katanas, Lots of Katanas


On another note, this weapon I'm not sure is suitable for MC, but I sure would love for any one of the ladies (whether ally or foe) to wield this weapon:
The kyoketsu-shoge.

It was used by Raizo in 2009 film Ninja Assassin:

Yes, exactly. That, Luna and lot of ice (s)cream for her.

I noticed on the title screen how he has Luna's PPSh-41, which I think is an interesting choice. The 'traditional' gun for a gangster is the tommy gun, the more modern choice would be an AK, so what's the story behind this piece she has? And what will be the story behind her giving it to him?

Oh man, this is a hardcore weapon! I think that would fit perfectly with Gracie! Maybe not for MC, given Raizo (from the movie) was trained on that since childhood, if I remember correctly.

- She is as fast learner, has incredible physical habilities and a strong-willed enough to not give up training on that until she reaches the mastery level. Maybe Caterina too.

For MC, the "eccentric" choices would be a classic Scottish Claymore, maybe a Shashka (cossack weapon similar to a sabre sword) or even a japanese Dotanuki katana (just because the awesome Ogami Itto on Kozure Okami). I could go on a Odachi or Nodachi swords, but I think is too "cartoonistic"/"Final Fantasy" for him .

For a missions MC could make some mess, I agree with Master of Puppets:

Or maybe, some more heavy, like a M134 Minigun!


But for Luna, I have to go on a Desert eagle .50, just for love!

I think kyoketsu-shoge could fit any DeLuca soldier who uses agility as their primary weapon (actually, perhaps not Caterina since she has rollerskates already. That's already eccentric enough for her. Wouldn't want it to be overkill now, would we? hehe).

Actually come to think of it, it could fit some antagonist ladies too.

For example, an antagonist girl/lady fighting against Caterina in her roller skates? Would be pretty intriguing to see such a fight, and see Cat possibly struggle quite a bit.

Until now, high-ranking DeLuca soliders (i.e. Capos, Wilfred's Division) never had a situation where they had their invincible aura doubted or questioned (even that Ombra mission situation with Caterina & Amata vs 2 Ombra Capos situation, those Capos fought the DeLuca Capos to a stalemate and eventually sort of ran away).

So what better way for other antagonistic Families (or organizations) to question DeLucas' invincible aura than for specialized soldiers (with their own unique weapons) to fight against them?

Such a case would be quite a sight to see, I tell ya.

 

[whichone]

So Luna's the sociopath and Gracie is the psychopath. Yikes indeed.

They both have pretty strong sociopathic traits, to be fair.
Whichever they are, they're both scary, just for different reasons!
Luna would kill you on the spot, in explosive anger.
Gracie would do it cold & make you suffer...

Siobhan, maybe. Besides, she is one of the "Scorpion daughters (or something like that)", imagine a poisoned kyoketsu-shoge flying on you!

You might survive Luna if you have an ice cream outta nowhere to trade.

You might survive Gracie if you lie about your intent.

 

[whichone]

lol yeah, "might" is the key word there.
With Gracie it's possible. Just not very probable.

I think Hopes said there's no intention for this to become a harem game, so I wonder if there's going to be a difficult choice somewhere down the line. Or if MC can keep playing all 3 (maybe 4 soon, with Cordia) separately.
Which one do you want to break the heart of? Fuck!

 

[Ahx]

Which one do you want to break the heart of? Fuck!

Easy...it's Luna.

*gunshots*...*non-stop*

Ice cream doesn't work here!...I REPEAT !!!...Ice cream doesn't work here!...shit! there is no afterlife either.

 

[Paco Loco]

Oh man, don't give us nightmares!

I think the MC will needs to learn some Neo's moves to survive from that!

 

[Paco Loco]

That's already eccentric enough for her. Wouldn't want it to be overkill now, would we? hehe).

Don't be like that!

I didn't even mentioned a supernerd-badass-lightsaber for Cat! Wait! Is that possible?

That is the thing I was wondering about because the 3 ladies know about each other to an extent. I know I would love a harem but if he has said no harem we will have to make a choice and I'm not looking forward to that. You pick Luna Gracie cries Luna kills you. Pick Gracie Luna gets mad and they both kill you. Pick Isabella Luna and Gracie and the rest of the "family" kills you. The way I see it Cordia is the safest one to be with. Noone goes against her, but Luna and Gracie would stealh kill you or make it look like an accident. Damn the luck. Hopes please find an away to make it harem? PLEASE! LOL.

Dayum I just imagined Katerina with that. Moving around on rollerskates while swinging a kyoketsu-shoge. An image of beauty.
