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

[Paco Loco]

Luna clearly was the main love interest so far though.
It's very weird she only got 1 new event while Gracie suddenly got 9(!) and the others 0(???).

Sorry, but I disagree. There are 4 main LIs so far (Cordia, Luna, Gracie and Isabel). For now, only Cordia was not focused on develpment as a LI. I know even with 4 main LIs, Luna is more loved by almost everyone, but, the others needs some content too. It is more a problem caused by the long time between updates than lack of content, I think.

Plus, it is not weird Luna has only one new event this time, because the dev has made clear several months ago about the 0.8.0 update was focused on Gracie. Otherwise, there is a good amount of develpment on MC's character itself.

It's not the case of anyone has the obligation to be always informed about the development, but, if you want to know something about the game, you can check johnelros posts from time to time.

It's one thing to say Luna is your main LI, and that's perfectly fine. That's all subjective.

But no, she's not the only one that qualifies as LI. So you are objectively wrong.

I'd argue that if you mean by "main LI" that she had the most content - on which I agree - that it would mean the others need to catch up and she would probably get less content than others.

Also, don't forget that the order in which the events are implemented will not necessarily be the same order in which they will be played in a finished game, so the "9-1-0" won't even be visible.

Okay, finished the update now, had a bit to do during the last couple weeks. I will keep the stuff in tags for those who haven't yet played all.

Luna clearly was the main love interest so far though.
It's very weird she only got 1 new event while Gracie suddenly got 9(!) and the others 0(???).

You're not taking into account couple of things though:

1) The game has 4 main LIs, not just one.
Sure, Luna is definitely my favorite girl in this game, and "My name is Luna" gave many folks impression that she's the main LI with how impactful it was, but as Cabin Fever said above, objectively it's not true.

The other girls (Gracie, Isabel, Cordia) don't have any events that are equivalent to My name is Luna, but that doesn't make them any less of main LIs.


2) Game always releases content in rotations.
Hopes always releases content in main story/main events → girls freeroam/lewd events → main story/main events → girls freeroam/lewd events →........ and so on.

Before the v0.07 (contracts gameplay overhaul update, which had 2 main events), last girl to get content was Isabel, which included her events of reconciling with Gracie as well as the Netori events.
And before that was a main story content update, and before that was Luna update with My name is Luna; which is one of the longest events (if not the longest) out of any of the single event so far in terms of length.

It may not seem like it (due to how long the last 2 updates have taken to release), but given Luna and Isabel had both gotten updates in terms off content, it makes sense for them to get much less content compared to Gracie, who hasn't had a proper update for couple of years now.


3) Content is based on what Hopes feel is right for the overall story, whether it's the length or amount.
When I finished the v0.08 update, Given a big influx of events for Gracie (9), I half-jokingly said to Hopes the following, and he gave me a reply:



So as he said some girls may have more at times and some may have less at times.
It will all depend on his planned story.

wibble has checked some proofread stuff and done his fixes.

Thanks to everyone for sharing their thoughts on what they liked and what they did not! Fascinating to see that people are not focusing on one event, but everyone talking about different events or parts.

Anyone who got question loading up (JJJ I'm looking at you), you can shoot, and I'll look into em and answer after I get home from the gym today

You know JJJ84 doesn't use a pistol or gun, but rather a shotgun or machine gun - heavy machine gun! - if it comes to asking questions.

Made a Gallery Unlocker + Cheat Mod if anyone needs it (Have to update every version)
**I have added and Updated Brandy's Cheat Mod**

Whew! I must be setting a new record with this one (when I had twelve, I thought that would be it, but then thought of more and it extended to 15. Thought I'd be done with 15, and that eventually extended to 24 lmao)
Now....... where are my fans usurpers with their love pitchforks?

Will read them later, but as you say, I now going on a walk with a light and another tool.

 

[randos belgados]

after reading posts about how short current update is, ill just enjoying the lewds and ignore the story for another year (preparing unren)

See you in a year

ty, im jumping here and there from one lewd scene to another. i could say, this update is nice for fan service but not for the story. so unlike other players who wait for decade for a story, im not disappointed that way

the kissing scene is one of the best compared to other vns.

if youre planning to deliver another "empty" story but with moar lewd scenes next year, im in dude. ive stop expecting another great story from this game. but your lewd scenes is still one of the best

No worries guys. I knew what I was getting myself into.

Yeah, I did give you a heads up in advance at discord that there would be a lot of questions (though back then, I had 12 questions. That number literally doubled )

Have to get to it to really know. Too much unknown elements for me to say anything with confidence.

There is no ruleset that limits the top dogs of the families to participates. But remember in the mafia world respect and 'face' is everything. The really top avoids it due to that. Capo rank do participate but do not interfere with the younger people (goes back to have Fawkes is only the top dog among the new generation).
But it's not uncommon for capos to fight the top dogs once they have proven themselves.
That is how it is so far in my writting of how things are currently that is.

About our serpents. 'Serpent' and the 4th serpent have never been in one. Gottardo and Cynthia have. Espcially when they were moving up.

He dosen't have OCD. Tho, a slight degree more leaning towards cleaniness then the average. But not at the ocd level.
The filth on the cloth is part of his world view.

About your example. He would complain and sneer. But would not send back. he would remove the dirt and eat the food.
It's about apperance and behavior more than anything.

Families always tries to get away with it. They are crime families afterall.
But they know when is too much and when a lines shouldn't be crossed.
Pacifacoties also knows that the rules are being broken constantly. What they are watching for is the degree and when it's necessary to step in.

Have a feeling it will be in season 2. But not sure.
She was also mentioned in a lore post btw.

Just curious - the changelog mentions that

but this hasn't changed in my game, even after reloading an earlier save and playing through to that point. Anyone know why this might be the case? Thanks! (I tested this on 0.08.0.3)

Why sometime some of the dialogue choice is in red color? What does it mean? Also red not always mean the best choice so I don't see the point.

They are choices gated by that character's affection

I cant remember where it says this (probably in the "?" option) but when you have enough points with a girl you can unlock a scene (red option). I cant remember if you can see the option if you dont have enough score but cant click it, or if you only can see it when you have the score (about the score, you can see the progression in the character option and looking how the image of every chacter change and their thoughts).
