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

[Paco Loco]

I'm not sure that Luna is a low-tier capo? Has this been specified in the game? Sorry if my memory's not working well.
She seems pretty high-tier, if not just by her being badass, but also by being daughter of the donna.
Nepotism is real!

Yes. I'm still looking (again) that answer, because I've found that from Hopes and that was mentioned from JJJ's later. Her 'title' is 'daughter's don' and her rank is low-tier, because she hasn't any crew and the other members fears working under her.

I'd leave Amita & Amata off the family tree, tbh. They're a bit of an oddity.
Eiza & Fina are genetic sisters, too.
MC's friend from Kaskars also has a sister.
If you're going for all genetic relationships, it could get pretty big.

I'd suggest one tree for DeLuca family, one tree for org.

Of course, I'm still working on this and there is no reason to keep Amita & Amata there.

On the other side, Eiza & Fina are sisters, of course, but they are not DeLucas. That's why I didn't put them there.

Yeah, that's where it becomes tricky.
Amita and Amata are not actual DeLuca family, by genetics.
But they are DeLuca family, by org.

I think one for Cordia's genetic family & one for DeLuca org family would make things less complicated.

RIGHT! Now we are talking! I didn't connected the dots properly like you did. Thanks.

 

[whichone]

Thank you for doing this mate.
Any help I can offer is my pleasure.

Not related to what you are doing but you should add to the beginning of Luna, Gracie and Isabel's arcs about the option you can pick in the general conversation with them, in the living room at noon with Isabel in the living room in the afternoon with Luna and in Gracie's room in the afternoon. I don't remember what you say to Isabel but it nets a +1 love right from the get go. But for the other two you need to hit a certain love threshold before selecting option or you get nothing in Gracie's(when, I think you tell her she looks pretty, she's just confused but you get +1 love after you've reached a certain love threshold) and I believe a -1 love if you tell Luna she has a nice ass before reaching her love threshold. I don't know what those threshold's are however.

 

[Cabin Fever]

No youre very right and it is actually in the dev.porn.lawbook we all are given before a release. Tho I got away with it by stating my case which is that even if she's not a LI she plays an important role to the story

Just to be safe, better have the Pacificatoris draw up a contract that states while Eiza might not be a main LI, she'll get at least some screen time with multiple lines of dialog with each release, and/or quality sexy time with the MC.

And while we're at it, and I know it's much harder for her since she's not part of the Deluca Family, do something similar for the Scorpion Princess as well.

Well if the sexy redhead is not a LI but she is important and is definitely a FI (Fuck Interest) that for sure 100% counts for the loophole in porn.law (Fucking fixes a lot of their loopholes -- pun intended)

Greetings, Mr. Godfather.

Before you get cornered by dozen questions from JJJ's

I ask you if this is accurate to your story. It is supposed to avoid major spoliers. Feel free to ask or comment anything about it.

I think Antonio has a different father than Luna and Gracie. My theory is Antonio and MC have the same dad.

 

[Ass Fan]

Yes, the two are most likely brothers. they are very similar down to the hair lol

 

[Yokanzo]

It’s been stated multiple times the protagonist doesn’t have blood relations to the DeLucas.

 

[whichone]

My theory is Antonio and MC have the same dad.

It's not a theory. There needs to be supporting evidence, for something to be a theory.
It's more of a supposition, or hypothesis.

While that is true in research, science, and technical speaking:

English common speech regularly uses "I have a theory" for some wild thought or idea without any supporting evidence.

Fine, my thinking is Antonio and mc have the same father.

I was just messing mate, but it's been stated that there is no blood relation between MC and the family.

See -- Conspiracy Theory (Numerous)

Well, a conspiracy theory does have evidence at its basis. They'd never gain any traction, if they did not.
It's just wildly expanded upon to a point where it's pure supposition\speculation.
"I assume" is more correct for wild thought or idea without supporting evidence.

I'll do it.

Nepotism is real!

This looks really cool. But why Amita and Amata are there? just because they are twins or another reason? Just one little thing, maybe its better to change the color of lines and not the type? so you can make a little place with info about it and you have more options?
And about Luna, maybe changing Donna's daughter and put something about her group? or her nickname? because Gracie is Donna's daughter too. Just saying, im thinking in a new player maybe believing someone is adopted or something like that.

To answer your question about Luna's rank:

Serpents are far above capos. Only four of them in the Family.
Only the don, underboss and the consigliere are higher ranked.

Luna's rank is; daughter of the Don.
Skill-wise- low tier capo rank. (as an example Caterina, the rollerskate capo, is mid-tier.)

Reason for no team- trust issues and recklessness.

-----

Tiers will be better explained once MC increases in rank. I don't like to info dump it all out but rather let the player experience it as they go.

 

[JLucci]

It’s been stated multiple times the protagonist doesn’t have blood relations to the DeLucas.

But what if their father was kicked out of the family? Its most likely the serpent whose face was burned out of that old picture the MC finds in the office. He betrayed the DeLucas/Cordia and so is no longer considered one of them. Antonio is still family because he's Cordia's son, but the MC has no relation to the family as he has a different mother.

Edit: I'm also thinking that the betrayal was Antonio's father having an affair with the MC's mom resulting in her becoming pregnant.

 

[Gerson876]

Joey? Don't know that one. But I have heard from a famous Delucas soldier with a beard that is known under the name of Canoley.

Dude!!!! Canoley is such a badass, wonder why hopes brought so late into the story. MC and canoley would have been a deadly combo.
