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

[sahadeva]

Surely I'm not the ONLY ONE looking forward to playing through the whole game from the beginning once the update arrives? I mean, if only for the feelz, amiright? I just nuked all my saves, so I won't be tempted to load an old save.

Same, but going through the My Name is Luna event a second time though? I don't know if my heart could take it... But I really want to...

For me the saddest part in My name is Luna was when she thought they forget about her birthday. When she apologized for bothering them it breaks my heart.

I never really though that a goddamn porn would make me cry like a baby. But i was wrong......


This aint no porn game, its goddamn masterpiece with hints of porn in it and i fucking love it

I've been thinking to delete all my saves or just wait the update to do it.

For now, I'll give 75~95% chances to previous saves do not work on upcoming version, due the large revision on the code is still ongoing (most to ending at this point).

So, I think it is a very probable chance all we have to start over, anyway. But I will never complaint about it.

For me the saddest part in My name is Luna was when she thought they forget about her birthday. When she apologized for bothering them it breaks my heart.

While that scene is sad in a way, for me the following 2 scenes eclipses that scene:

1) Sofia's death & the effect it has on Luna's group
The way Sofia died was........... the most haunting scene out of that entire flashback. As if being malnourished and mind being broken and hallucinating wasn't terrible enough, she dies through electrocution .
And Luna trying to emulate the hands heart scene that she used to do with Sofia when she was alive, but instead of Sofia's physical hand, the scene shows the "ghost" hand of Sofia matching Luna's hand to shape the heart....... man that was absolutely heartbreaking.

2) Gaia gets "broken" & betrays Luna
Second saddest scene for me. That scene where Gaia gets completely broken, becomes cuckoo crazy and starts hurting Luna so she can survive was.... heart-rending.
Gaia was the pillar that pretty much everyone relied upon and was welcoming to Luna even from early on (which Luna came to rely upon her as Big sis in a way). To see Gaia be turned against her like that, just adds to the whole tragedy of it all (though one saving grace of it was Viola coming to Luna's rescue, standing up to Gaia)

If any one of or both of the above two scenes I mentioned above didn't exist in My name is Luna, I don't think the event would have felt anywhere near as impactful for me as it does.
Those 2 scenes literally pulled at my heartstrings.

My guess is that will depend on what aspect of the code the revision is being worked on.

If significant portion of it has to do with VN aspect, then yuuup, most likely a restart would be required.
But if a lot of it has to do with the contracts (for e.g. such as one of the issues being when the player tries to discard items, error message pops up with the game crashing), then it could be very much possible that a restart is not required (and player can start from previous saves).

If we are to restart, in terms of VN aspects, I guess it really wouldn't matter too much since I can just ctrl fast skip through it all (I know which choices to make, and seen these events several times already through Gallery, so no need to spend time reading through them again).

Though on the other hand, one aspect that would slightly annoy me would be the whole grind with going through Wilfred's contracts again with "Full Experience" mode. The repetition to regain the best equipment that I had (in v0.07.2) would feel......tedious.

Not to mention me doing extra grinds on those contracts before so I have plenty of money to spend in case any good equipment pops up in the shop (if forced to restart, all that $$$ will be flushed down the drain lol).

Who cares about money? A restart means all my precious fedoras will be wasted! Shame on Hopes if it happens!

Well, you're not the only one.
I have a hill mountain of fedoras (and armors and etc etc)!

Same, but going through the My Name is Luna event a second time though? I don't know if my heart could take it... But I really want to...

lol I watched that event in full (without fast skip) three times.
NO WAY am I gonna go through it (in full) for fourth.

Ctrl fast skip all the way!

 

[hammerface]

i just read what the developer said and i already regret asking about the update lol


so yeah i guess i deserve that one minute delay

Where did you read what the developer said? I'm curious about an update too and there are over 1100 pages of comments here

Lastly, the real reason for the prolonged update time is that I add one minute to the release date every time someone asks about the release date.

I've been through it 4 times.

I've been through it 4 times.

That borders on masochism

~ checks 8x a day for the magic number 0.07.3 ~

Don't you mean 0.08?

Tbh replayed the game yesterday and completing all contracts fully.

A replay of this game is still much more enjoyable than most other games.

This "Lewd" game feels like a nice Mafia anime with a sort of "Harem" in place...
And that is why its pretty much the best game on F95. It feels like it's more than a Lewd game

 

[trifonidis]

I've been waiting for like forever for this game to get updated to finally check it out. Do we know approximately when it drops? I've read so many good things about it and im getting angsty. I want to play!

 

[HopesGaming]

The last few weeks I've been like you guys.
Just waiting for my coder to finish the last part of his great work.
Now I know how you guys feel, I guess, heh.

But on a positive light, I'm already working on the new content. Lucania has been finished and adding a few events in. (not for 0.08)

 

[Jimayo]

That borders on masochism

I can go through a great story over and over no matter how hard some of it to read/watch. In daughter of the empire mara was beaten by her husband regularly. Those hard to read parts won't stop me from reading it again because it's a brilliant story. Jessica Jones was held for a year, raped repeatedly and then forced to murder, and now severe case of ptsd because of it. Won't stop me from watching that show again.

If we are like this its entirely your fault, how you dare to make an awesome masterpiece in both storyline and lewd? Hahaha we really love this VN and we will I'll forgive you if we see Wilfred smiling in the future.

I want to ask you something (if it isn't a spoiler, of course):

Is 'Mysterious 6' a name Luna heard when she was abducted with them? Or is it an surname like 'Mr Moustache' she put to then probably because of what she saw?

I really love how the NC looks, and I remember reading that your first inspiration was a Turkish tv show (and, of course, all what you know about Mafia world too), was the MC appearance based on something too?

And if I can ask you one more thing, was The DeLuca family your first attempt to create a game (VN or not)? Because you have great talent with narrative.


Love you HopesGaming

This time, I'll go first on questioning! (EDIT: NOPE! Lost it again!)

Hopes, I am curious if you are inclined to revisit or put more some details on already finished content.

Unlike 'My name is Luna', 'The painter' is not so mentioned but I personally consider a very interesting story and I thought it deserves at least some renders to illustrate a part of Delucasverse that it is not only related to the main family itself. I find the story itself heart touching, compelling and the self-sacrifice aspect from their main characters a cherry on top of that cake.

- Would you like to add some more details on previous stories - like 'The Painter' - on future releases?

Maybe someone already asked about it before (and I probably know who did it ). If the answer is yes, I think this could be a reminder. Would be even more immersive with some images than only text on that story.

 

[ArtKing22]

btw there's something that has been on my mind for a while..

so whose story true
the MC or Jalen?
on how they first met

im kinda curious lol

I say that both stories are false and what happened is that MC and Jalen were put together in school by a teacher or somebody because they were both weird. And their shared strangeness eventually turned into a friendship.
