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

[JJJ84]

Seeing some saying this update was too short, lol not like I was keeping the exact time, but the update I think did take me somewhere between 3 ~ 4 hours to complete.

That length itself and the experience I felt playing it made the game feel pretty chunky (and I mean that as a compliment).
I'd even say Hopes was even being a bit modest when he said "It's a normal sized update."

But I guess some folks will always complain about something lol.



Oh and hey HopesGaming just something odd that I noticed yesterday that I wished to point out:


After buying the children's toys package (having it delivered by Wilfred ), right after that scene where MC gives the package to Luna (where she asks her what MC will do if he sees Gracie doing something dangerous), following long series of screens with texts appear:

Also, those who finished the update and spent the $3000 ($1000 & $2000) with the new build adjusting the price, will they get a refund of the difference, or is that money spent gone and not coming back?

I am sure JJJ84 has a shop for fedoras and other useless stuff

More like drowning in a sea of fedoras and crushed under the mountain of pants

I've liked this game since the first time I played it, must have been just after the previous update. My only gripe is the levelling mechanics, you get to max level within 3 or 4 main mission stories plus early side missions because of grinding for cash.

Also still struggling to get 100% mission completion in The Painter, pretty sure it's something to do with the guy in the bar, but never seem to find out his secret even though I know his secret from talking to others like the priest, but any conversation I have with he never tells me.

From memory it's something like:

After talking to the painter but before doing anything else, go to the bar and tell him you're from the Delucas, threaten him (your threat level can't be in the negative), and buy the round.

Then the priest -> thief -> cemetary -> thief -> painter, and if everything else goes well the old man should turn up after the tearful reunion.

I was promised a dragon in the update, I got it. I have no complaints. (If by any chance the dragon from the special renders was old, I honestly can't remember. Last update ((that added content)) was way too long ago)

Guys wait next build fix

Couple of things to add to what you said:

1) For Cemetery, player (MC) must "interact" and meet the "Knowledge Success" in finding out about the thief's secret (if knowledge level isn't high enough, it won't work. I find Lock glasses MC gets from Nimble Fingers contract is pretty helpful in that regards).

2) After finding out about the thief's secret, the player must choose to "confront the thief" instead off "steal the painting" (stealing just leads to normal ending, confront the thief and heading back to the painter leads to the true ending.

Sadly developer is lazy. 14 months and there is only few new events.

Main storyline didnt progress since 0.5 update (that's 2019 !!! ).
I dont have any expectations from this game anymore. Dev is rolling in cash and he will only release new update to appease audience so they wont cancel their Pledge on Patreon. So sad.

yeah many year for update...

 

[brichouse]

I don't have soldato promotion event, don't know what's going on, my jurnal is empty, I have max exp and I tried every possible interaction for 15 days... Haven't got that kinde of problems at older versions, so I guess it's a bug.

Same.

OK Thanks, I want that vest.

With introduction of Fawkes Feni in this update, I think there's now one more to the lineup of characters we can get hyped to see in Frenetico Tournament!

Lineup of competitors (that I can see):

- MC
- Luna (she's a veteran of these tourneys after all)
- Eiza (also has some experience with the tourneys in the past)
- Dominico (with him likely being MC's "rival"? Possible)
- Fawkes (Given he's the Champion of Tiratore Scelto tournaments from Frenetico Tournaments, of course he'll be present)

and many more I'd expect.

Heh, getting pretty hyped for it now.

 

[TheDukeofWeapons]

So much Potential but.. But The Duke would like more...No new Stories since 2019...The Duke feels somewhat...Cheated but will always love The storyline.

 

[DavidF1970]

Is there an updated android port available can't seem to find one

 

[Mortarion]

Had now the time to play it.

My thoughts about it - as usuall its just my opinion ( anyway, my personal opinion never counts for anyone but i dont care ) - take it with a big grain of salt.

I talk about my opinion of the lewd at the bottom of this post.

What to begin with? Well...
... dev time.
Many others have done this in the past, more or less polite and/or justifyed or not. I skip this point, it could always be more content in less time - ever! No matter the dev or game.

Luna event was a nice appetiser, and i hope the promises that are given there ben hold. It was to short to say more about.

The story events to prepare the main event from Gracie are cool, to get some kind of fresh air in it it could be better to hide some items or other little gimiks on the map just to prevent it from getting boring.

If there was a big rework with contracts and stuff in the 0.7 release, why use not more of it? I was always exploring the complete map and have found in the first mission the dragon render - a really cool one! I like it! Sadly that was all, could be seen as a wasted opportunity. Why a big rework in the past to get the tools for weave cool gadets into the missions and dont use it?

Surpisingly less bugs and errors, i got only one as i got the secret render while i was i the first story mission ignite the trash bins, that error could be ignored. No more errors till now.

Now to the lewd...

To put it blunt, it feels rushed.

Eiza is a sidefling - sadly, i am a sucker for redheads - so in this category is some kind of fan service ok in terms
of "rOfL, oNe YeAr wItHoUt Sex, We NeEd MoRe aNd FaStEr sEx! MOOOOOOAAAAAARRRRR"

Jokes aside.

Isabella lewd fits into her character - no i dont think or say shes a slut - shes a grown up woman and knows what she is doing and her behaviour is understandable. No complains here, that scene was so fucking hot. Chapeau!

Luna, well...
... that handjob i dont know how i should feel about it. I personally feel that it wont fit into her personallty. Maybe some more rubbing but with clothes, show less is sometime more - and it ramps up the erotic.

Gracie ... Sorry to be THAT guy, but its the same with Luna. It just feels rushed.

Gracie may be strange in some ways, she has clearly problems to interact with other ppl, but she was never indecent. Gracie has always put effort to be "ladylike" and has behaved like that. But in some events she gave the impression of just being a horny teen. For sure, she is curious, she want to learn, and she wants to experience something. It just dont fit into the character - at least not into the one that was build up from the start of the game.

Both Girls, Luna and Gracie are part of the main cast for this game, and the lewd for both should be inserted with more tact. Both have grown up isolated without any contact to the other sex to collect the little basics about the other sex. Except Luna, the only "penetration" she has participaited was whe she "dropped a knife on others" In my opinion, it would have been better if the focus had been more on eroticism (kissing scene with Gracie of the roofs was so fucking hot) than on the direct act.

Somehow i have the feeling that Luna and Gracie are now defiled. How dare you perv sex deamon mc ....

I could rant much more about it and it will not change anyting. I think it was way to quick, but hey i am not the one that decides.

Does it just unlock the gallery or are there cheats for money and such?

EDIT: I actually just saw the cheat section in the bottom right corner, don't know how I missed it the first time.
