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

[bat2897]

You absolutely should do beta testing. From personal experience most coders suck at testing. Which is also why even professional games often release with significant bugs.

As a coder myself I don't trust this Coder xD

And he sounds so ominous now. He's become a major antagonist known as THE CODER.

I don't develop games but I do develop still... And I know how Lazy we can be.

Hope this Coder hasn't exploited the client and their release cycle (Hopes) due their laziness.

that's up to the coder guys
if he says no need for testing then there's no need..

and if there are any mistakes
then it's on him.
that's all.

so i suggest u just cross your fingers and wait.

What I fear most for this game is people's expectations... This can make or break a game

And the opinion of the people switches very quickly...

So far The Deluca Family has seen possibly the best story-telling over here...
It's a great character building and is also focusing on great worldbuilding which I expect to see more of

But what if the content doesn't feel like it's enough to the majority... I'm not a paying Patreon so I don't have the right to bitch

But people over here will definitely be very vocal with how they feel. I hope this game survives till the end and exceeds Hopes' expectations as well with what he could've created.

Has me excited and afraid... Both at once

well... in the end
it is a story
some might not like it
that's how stories work.

to be honest im willing to play this game even if it was tagged (no sexual content)
just because i pretty much loved the story

hell i still would've read it even if it was just a book or comic tbh

Yes completely agreed.

If this game were an anime (with no sex) then I'd have loved to watch it still the premise and the factions are so interesting

Just how villain/hero groups in Anime can be cool.. The Deluca Family and it's soldiers give a similar vibe.

Depressive realism.

Reality hurts.

oi ppl!!!!

I am a fan of Ecchi Sensei too but lets stop that talk about Ecchi Sensei here, its completely offtopic (go to its original thread to speak your opinion there) and come back to speak about The Deluca Family.

The Deluca Family another great game....

Bonus content: Stop assuming everyone on the internet uses the same type of English.

And thus try to use English so scaled down that you will not be seen as insulting. And if some misunderstandings happen, apologize, explain what you meant, and go on with the discussion and don't say "Nope, wasn't an insult - and if you think the shoe fits", in essence doubling down on what was perceived.

So in conclusion the answer to my question from the previous post seems to be: you are trying to bullshit us.

I'm not going scale down my English because someone on the internet might find it "insulting". My explaining what I meant should've made that clear, and if after reading my explanation they still felt insulted, when it obviously (as I clearly stated in my post) was not initially meant as an insult, then it's an "if the shoe fits" scenario.

Also, you have been hammering on me for calling them thick, but not on them for calling me slow. Funny how that works, calling me out for saying they are thick after explaining it's not meant as insult where I'm from, but not calling them out for calling me slow. Not that I felt insulted by being called slow, but you can't pick and choose. If you consider thick an insult, you should also consider slow one.

On topic:

Wonder how long it's gunna be now. Can't be long

Ah, slow is an insult as well. However, it is somewhat mitigated by you starting the way of talking. And if you think that your behavior is okay everywhere if it is okay where you live and you don't have to scale down, be prepared for some surprises when you leave your region or country.

What annoyed me more, however, than the indeed harmless insults (still insults though) exchanged is trying to bullshit others by claiming "no, everything is alright" with technicalities which perceivedly make it okay. "How we speak it is not" - wherever that may be. "What about that other bad word" - yeah, bad, but doesn't answer the question about yours. Basically the kind of "didn't do nuthing" politicians use when cornered.

Anyways, I will quit this discussion now as well.

Yup, covid wasn't, fortunately, a major issue for me. Very small setback.
Has, and always been, just real life stuff taking priority. I've been open about it since day one to both you guys and the patrons.
Some may like it and others do not. That I can't control. Only that I am as transparent as possible.

About the past promises. 100% on me. I suck at planning and predicting how it be.
But at this moment there isn't anything special needed for the next update after this, so shorter and less content is what I also want.

The coder gave me very good news today. Seems like we are very very close.

See, and THIS is precisely why Hope doesn't get a fraction of the drama that certain...ahem...other devs...get when it comes to long delays. At least from what i've seen in this thread.

He's open, straight-up and if it needs to be repeated, i'll repeat it for the umpteenth time: Only paying patrons have any right to be concerned.

Yet he still takes the time to assuage use useless freeloaders to whom he owes not one goddamned thing. We salute you, Hope.

Though I would offer some defense to the "complainers". There's a difference between giving a Dev grief over long delays(Example: You suck you grifting grifter who grifts!) and simply expressing frustration/anticipation over long delays(Example: Oh the anguish of this wait! Woe is me!).

The former is douchey, if you don't patronize.

The latter, IMHO, should simply be taken as a compliment.

Reading that DeLuca is about to go into beta testing (which I'm guessing unless some issues are found which makes it last longer, would take about a week) makes me pretty darn excited haha.
