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

[rambo455]

As it says in your capture screen there, you need to purchase the recorders (see the little text below the event title; REQ: Buy hidden camera/audio ? You need to do that to progress with the Main Story. Recorders can be bought from Laptop in your room).

Also, there should be other events which followup after promotion as well for the "Main Events" part, as well as tons of Freeroam events for the girls.

One rule of thumb, whenever in doubt (or when you're stuck), check the REQ pre-requisites under the event titles with the Event Log to help you in figuring out the next step in triggering the followup event.

as i said i already bought and recieved the audio recordings. the laptop only has rest a while. after the promotion i went to the park and talked to wilfred. after this nothing triggers. all i can do is redo old missions for "work" and talk to the people and have the same conversations i have already done. this is the computer. as noted i am not capable of buying anything.

Did you finish "The Contract" Main event?
The whole "Buy hidden cameras ($150)" should be appearing if you finished The Contract event properly.

If you haven't finished it, it will not appear.

ñever mind it seems i just needed to skip 20 days. out of frustration i just started skipping time and after about 20 days if worked

View attachment 1798621 these are the contracts i have. i have already continued the story once to get the ritual and park done and i have already bought the audio recordings only not the cameras (if i remember correctly)

No I mean, "The Contracts" the actual event in the screen capture I have below (first one):



As you can see on the capture, event title is white (since I did a speed run to check), since I did not complete the event yet with this speed run.
Only after completing that event, the title becomes green, and the option to buy the camera or audio comes up in the laptop.

After purchasing the camera/audio, sleep, and the next day it gets delivered.
then push "Continue" button in the bottom middle (large DeLuca insignia) and it should trigger "The Hidden Recorders" event.

Well, to be fair, coding with only one hand should be forbidden.

More than a year for an update, i genuinely dont get how some people keep giving cash to this dude.

You know what I don't get? People acting like the game is his job and that real world stuff cant cause problems. Its makes me wonder though do the people who complain know what his day to day is? I seriously doubt it. It boggles the mind how people make assumptions with the lack of knowledge required. Time between updates is only one piece of the puzzle. When you don't have any other piece how do you even know what the puzzle looks like? That is like trying to tell a story, but you only know the beginning of the story.

i agree, u dont know the circusntance, ok, but for the same reason, some may reach the conclusion that is not worth keep supporting someone else hobby, some of u think that patreon is not a transaction, and it may not be a transaction in the normal sense of that word, but ur payment must come with a moral obligation from the dev, to deliver those updates, sure u dont own them anything, but they believe on ur work and is the decent thing to do, to give something back, patreon is, if not a transaction, a compromise " this is my work, if u support me, more will come" when u dont deliver after a couple months, then its fair for the people supporting u, to start making questions, how much is too much? lest say the dev leave and dont come back in 10 year, will u keep paying? there is people like u who, without any knowledge about all the pieces of the puzzle, like u say, decide to side with the dev and keep suporting him, and u have others that think that this is smelling like a scam and decide to leave. I dont see any problem with either of those, but again, how much is too much, if this goes for another year will u keep suporting¡? and if the answer is no, what make it diferent to drop the support after 4 months? time?

You're adding too many assumptions.
The way it works is that if patrons feels like it takes too long, they'll stop supporting. And once the updates gets released in a good pace, they may decide to support again (or not). Patrons are not mindless bots. They're humans with their own thoughts.

The way you're phasing it makes it sounds like I am acting in a malicious way and hiding that it takes a long time.
I've made it very clear in the front page of my Patreon that this is a hobby, and the time can take a long time depending on many factors, and I've never hidden this fact.
Some people accept it and others does not. I do not force anyone to support nor lie about the situation.

Again, I know that the time hasn't been great, but what is important is that I am honest and communicate that with both the players and the patrons.

and don't forget there are also people like me who are too poor and don't even have a credit card and you still make the game free for people like me to enjoy

that's one of the reason I can't read because I was too poor to go to school

if you cared about money

you wouldn't care about people like me but you actually do care a lot

You are right in the sense that patrons do have the right to question, but to question and criticize AFTER you stop being a patron makes no sense. A patrons input is mostly (if not all of it) their money. And like Hopes says he is honest about the whole situation. No matter if its to his patrons or to us pirates. We have no justification other than to give him the benefit of the doubt especially since we neither know all the details nor do we give him money for his work on the game. He has stated many time this is a hobby. His patrons know their could be long wait times between updates cause of irl factors and the fact its a hobby and he has an actual job. I could go on, but like normal, Hopes has typed great detail the folly of your assumptions, but I will say this last thing. Why hyperbole? Who tf would wait 10 years for an update? Does anyone have any hope that half life 3 will come out? no? Then why the hyperbole?

Do we do now write a wall of text and if so, then if it is one with actual sentence or are we only hanging them behind each others only separate with a lot of commas, but sure it doesn't make a difference, because at the end of the day a wall of text is a wall of text and nothing more and as a wall of text a lot, I myself included, will be annoyed at it, because if you would use some time and structure the text and not only hammering the letters into your keyboard, cause you just give a fuck about others and the difficulty to read a simple wall of text, without any full stop or paragraphs or anything at all, you could even, perhaps, simple switching language in the middle of the wall of text and ich denke, dass keiner dies merken würde, but for sure, that would be overstretching it, yet as an alternative you could even write something other completely irrelevant and useless, eg. the price of strawberries and the price for one kilo strawberries is around 3$ in the USA, such information, I think it, is completely irrelevant and useless, but possible that some other see this different, also I believe 11 lines of wall of text und, mostly, nichtsagender Inhalt, will annoy a lot of user and at the end they will, most likely, totally ignoring my post or set me on their ignore list or give me a facepalm...

faster updates not counting delays I say about 3 months I'm

really happy about that more than anything

if I remember correctly we are 2 updates away from Luna's update

and as you know the only girl I care about is Luna in my opinion

the other girls can go straight to hell

 

[c3p0]

and as you know the only girl I care about is Luna in my opinion

You can always send the other girls my way. Taking one for the team, you know. And will also take Luna of course, but Shush!

Oh come on now, now you're putting Hopes on the spot there.
The characters are all Hopes' children.

You might as well grab a parent with more than 1 child and ask, "Which kid is your favorite?" in front of their kids watching looking sad.
You love them equally, right HopesGaming

Last time I had a look at this game, it was marked as abandoned - is that no longer the case?

lol It wasn't marked as abandoned, because dev continued to communicate through Patreon and this thread consistently.
What are you talking about?

Wrong game, bud. This one has never been abandoned nor marked as one.
