I played this game at version 0.06 and I was convinced it was one of the best games on this site.

Now at version 0.08 I have realized I need to start from the very beginning AGAIN, and grind out my soldado points and skills AGAIN.

Is it worth it or do I just wait until game completion?
Dunno what you mean by "AGAIN", since the only game save breaking update I remember was 0.06 to 0.07.

But I'd say it definitely is worth it for the quality of the story. Also, gameplay has improved significantly - or, more precisely, gameplay for the missions has been introduced.

However, if you are mostly looking for lewd action, or actually are not interested in gameplay but story only, or want quick development, it might be best to divert your attention elsewhere.

He's saying that he has to start the game from the beginning again & has to develop his skills again.
As in, he's done these once before & now has to do them a 2nd time.
2nd time of doing something = doing it again.
Thanks I was excited after seeing the update turns out its just for bug fixing
np (y)
Check the Changelog in OP.
Shows you what has changed between versions.

Granted, you're right. It sounded - due to the emphasis on the "again" - like this is not the first time to redo it for him, but he didn't say so.

Know precisely what you mean, I wonder if that's caused by the incredible amount of entitled idiots this site attracts.
Often times seeing that comment, it would be unjustly complaining.
I'm not sure if this one was.

I'm completely hooked with Luna's story and just the overall story, silliness included. So what kind of update cycle are we looking for for Deluca's? Is it more like 1 update per year, or closer to 3 update per year?

Yeah, her story's a heartbreaker. My Name Is Luna has deeply moved many people here.
The dev does this as a hobby, so update times vary.
If you aim for 8-10 months you'll be there, or thereabouts.
Though I'm not sure about how long it will take to see this story to completion, I sure really enjoy consuming the character stories updates the dev does. Even the latest Gracie's story arc was really awesome. It's not Luna, but it's still great, and has enough Luna in it.

lol Yeah, who knows? Just enjoy the ride and worry about the destination if we get there.
I love Luna, Gracie, Isabel & Cordia, all for different reasons.
They're each perfect for different moods/vibes, but they all have a shared element of needing help, again in different ways.
Luna needs help emotionally, Gracie needs help finding her emotions. Isabel needs to be loved & Cordia needs help connecting with her daughters emotionally.
Each totally different, but similar at the same time.

After some thought, i think this story is the most entertaining story from all the AVNs I've played so far, and it would be really hard to top it because it chock full of my kind of humor. I'm so glad someone is creating something like DeLuca Family. The more I think of it the more I think parts of the last updates are humorous enough and yet, still maintain a tight pacing and tense enough feeling (from Story 9 to Gracie's quest). I'm not even sure if Story 9 is Update 0.7 or Update 0.8, but regardless, from Story 9 until the end is a perfect story update.

Now I fear what happen next and I think I know what JJJ84 will read in the near future. :whistle: :p
It's been 14 hours since whichone posted the books. I would be seriously disappointed if he hasn't at least ordered them already.

Then of course he will write to this K. A. Ware person to point out inconsistencies. (Heck, already the teaser text for the first one has 'em)

I can't play it on joiplay( android)
I use the old joiplay version, can someone give me a tip to play this on joiplay?
It says loading and just black out.
This is exactly why I don't use Joiplay.
Joiplay is a HUGE fucking headache and most of the games don't work on it.
Yet every time someone asks if there is an Android port for a game, there is always a handful of people that comment 'just play it on Joiplay'

I get that life would be easier to just download and play all these games on a PC/laptop. Being able to play Unity games would be one huge benefit.
The reason I choose to play games on a tablet is - I don't want to be sitting at my desk every time I want to play an adult VN. So portability is the main benefit of playing AVN's on a tablet.
I very much appreciate that people are just trying to be helpful when they say 'just play the games on Joiplay'. But let's be honest - Joiplay is a piece of shit app.

Fortunately there are usually a handful of diligent people on this forum that port all the most popular games to Android. You guys are fucking awesome!!! I really, really appreciate all the time and effort you put into porting these games!! Without you guys, I wouldn't be able to play hardly any games. You not only port the games, but most of the time you also include the cheat/walkthough mods. Additionally you have persistent save folders, so everyone can play the game, delete it when they are done, then download it again when a new update comes out and pick up right where we left off.

All that being said - would somebody please add a working Android port for this VN? :)
It sounds like most of the bugs have been fixed at this point.

Yup, once season 1 is completed with couple more minor additions & bugfixes here and there, he's planning to release s01 on Steam.
how many updates, roughly, are we from season 1 completion?

This is gonna be a hit on steam for sure!

Next update will be the season finale update.
However, I think Hopes will still put some minor adds (such as Tutorial contract, I remember him saying that will be added before season 1 will be released on Steam) before it actually goes on Steam.

I think one thing that would help steam players is putting a pop-up on a mouseover on the work pages. Like the muscle means strength the shield means defense etc.

It took me a while to figure out some of those.

Now whenever I see adult Luna design in game, where her hair covered her left eye, I still remember the My Name is Luna event, and it's still kinda tugged my heart.

Poor Luna. It affected her to this day that she even covered her hair over her left eye many of the time.

Man, this game is so entertaining even if the main story hasn't progress at all. The entertainment level is off the chart.

Can't complain with the main story slow progression either because it's not a game being produced full time, I just enjoy whatever is served because the chef is great at making entertaining stories.

I've already implemented that in an experimental branch, but it won't be in 0.08.x as it includes updating to renpy 7.5
