I wonder, will the beta test stage hit two years?

From what I understand, the update is pure oldest daughter(forgot the name). Is that so? Probably will skip it. She was the least interesting character in the game so far.

Luna has her past and mental issues, Isabel is cheating and lost her child drama, and the last one is... She wants to become a gangster? I guess? And she can't find friends.

Well Gracie has the fact that she's an amoral sociopath doing her very best imitation of a real human girl, who's inevitably going to tap into her dark side and massacre/enslave the human race....

Okay. I'm being hyperbolic.

Slightly.

It's all about intent. By the human race, I mean ;)

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.

F95 is a bubble and this thread is a great example of that.

Regulars spamming people into oblivion that have a less than reverent opinion of the VN is effective at controlling the narrative but it hasn't stopped patrons unsubbing in droves.

After the fiasco that has been the timeline of this update id expect another large dropoff after the release-only patrons have the product in hand.

Basically, patrons are voicing their disapproval with their wallets rather than getting into unnecessary arguments in this thread.

Which is precisely how it should work. If people are unhappy - unsubscribe. Talk to the dev. For one that is recognizable, also it doesn't pester those who are not unhappy. Leave a bad review, sure. Voice your opinion, sure. But once you're saying the same thing over and over again (glad to see you were able to keep your biweekly rhythm by the way, gotta hand you a certain reliability) it doesn't contribute anymore. Just like the anti NTR crowd spamming every game that isn't for them.

I always wonder what makes people dislike others being content.

Which leaves the question, should this thread get the NTR tag? I mean, for some the game is having fun with other people right in front of their eyes ...

You don't say. Now Isabel is married with Antonio. They say they are sexual inactive, but isn't this just hidden NTR? :unsure: :devilish: :ROFLMAO:

Luna Event (Lewd + Story) - 95%
Lewd 3 - 95%
Lewd 4 - 60 %
Misc - 35%

Then the last lewd event remains. Have already finished the animations on the that one so it is mostly add-ons and writing. Lots of mhm's and ah's.

Wasn't the game updated finished already? I taught is just proofreader setback...

I'm really hoping there'll be some exposition on the M6. I know the focus will be on Gracie, but there's a lot of story behind M6, Rina's and the MC's father's past, and the original four serpents. The speculation on this thread the past year has been enjoyable, but I'd like to see some of those disparate story lines start coming together, while introducing some new ones too (like Gracie's past).

As Cabin Fever said, you're quoting a 3 months old post when Hopes was still working on the game (it's just that this was the last post with the percentage bars on it with Event numbers listed, when Hopes completed everything he just said it's all done).

Also, another thing you should be aware of is, while johnelros has been the usual go-to patron who ports Hopes' dev posts from the Patreon till now (for people in the zone), in April he stated Visa suspended operations in Russia and he couldn't pay Patreon pledges any more.

He seems to be back to normal now (considering he's porting other games' dev posts), but it's unclear whether he'll continue doing it for DeLuca.

I believe c3p0 is also a current supporter so if anything of note happens I'm sure we will know. Of course Hopes will probably tell us himself. Unless he doesn't :devilish:
