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

[JJJ84]

It sort of was resolved in the hidden recording w/ Cordia. But yeah, was expecting something grander. Guess we'll just have to wait for Season 2

Yeah, I mean I know that recording also, but I was thinking of something official, you know?
Like Cordia telling Gracie directly (in front of Wilfred & other DeLuca soldiers) that she has her permission to work with the family.

We didn't get that, alas, but I guess we can sort of expect it for season 2.
And I have to say, that dining room scene was nice.

 

[kok59]

how much game time in this update?

 

[Prolko]

whats the changelog?

 

[BorrXL]

A half part?

My sentiments exactly. The announcement happening after the finale of season 1 kinda makes it feel like it was Gracie randomly getting hurt that influenced the decision rather than her proactively forcing them to accept her as a result of the hijinks of episode 8.

But the dinner scene did make for a nice cliffhanger finale for season 1

I didn't go through every single post, but I saw enough (well I did see your initial post and couple others), and lol.
As Carta stated, Hopes stated from the very start that DeLuca was going to be a story first focused game.
There will be sex/bed action, but full sex won't arrive until it is fitting for the story.

So to go on complaining "Can't fuck the main girls yet."
lmao, do you even hear yourself?

F95zone (a.k.a. the Zone), is an adult games website.
Not every game will have the girls jump the MC's bones the first chance they get.

There's plenty of games by devs on this website which take the slow burn approach toward the LIs which a lot of the fanbase are in it for the story, rather than the sex (and games like Hillside, and Summer's Gone 2 quite popular games, don't have sex scenes yet, but even so are great games).

- The DeLuca Family (obviously)
- Hillside by DarkBlue
- Rebirth by LikesBlondes
- Summer's Gone by OceanLab
- A Father's Sins by Pixieblink
- Price of Power by Pandaman games

There should be more, but those are the ones which come to my mind at the moment.
And people for these games are primarily in it for the story, with sex being the icing on the cake for them.
You seem like a person who thinks of the sex being the main cake (and thus, is unlikely the main target audience of Hopes to begin with).

And to add further, there are even games on this site which has zero sex scenes (like The House in Fata Morgana) yet has great storyline, so any possible argument you may raise saying "This is a porn game website" is just.... nonsense.

F95zone is an Adult game website, and in that very wide "Adult game" umbrella, it houses porn/quick-fap games, but also slow-burn, more story oriented games (that will have sex in them) like DeLuca and others.

In the end, it's just you're not the target audience/players (so you have only yourself to blame, for not realizing sooner what kind of game this is lol).

Can't use Rebirth last update you banged Sharon like a gong.

 

[ch1no]

I think there'e going to be another release next month according to HopesGaming's Patreon. This update is light according to his post.

 

[Hyperserver]

Its not hobby if people pay for it, and plz dont bullshit me that patreon is support platform, if its hobby for dev okay change patreon to charge on major update, or pause pledges.

You forget that you don't PAY for the game. You donate to support the developer.
You gain no rights by donating money, and you even get the full game for free if you don't donate at all.
You plebs should stop to claim that you have ANY rights just because you pay some bucks - just read the ToS. Aside that, most people crying about what patreons should get when they "pay" aren't even patreons at all.

So i repeat myself: You may leave if you don't like it - no problem.
But please stop badmouthing the developer just because he doesn't do the speed YOU expect. You should be happy that he releases his game for free at all (higher tier supporter just get the game few days earlier)

 

[Jimayo]

Well, okay, but the main reason people are complaining/whining here are that the main LIs aren't banged yet (and from what I can tell, main LI Charlie, there still isn't a sex scene with her yet).
Charlie's sister? Sure, there may be a path where MC bangs her, but given that she doesn't really seem to be given the main LI treatment compared to Charlie or Emma (I'm only interested in the former, not latter though both of them, there are no sex scenes), I'd say she's more of a side girl (like Eiza in DeLuca) than a main girl (like Charlie).

But that's all I'll say, given this is veering into OT territory.

No. There are several points where to get make her your exclusive girlfriend or not. Being on her path from the beginning it's very much like being a main path.

 

[Anthaeus]

Is there penetrative vaginal intercourse to orgasm in the game? Yes.
Is there a blowjob in this game? Yes
Are there grinding to orgasm scenes in this game? Yes
Are there other foreplay scenes? Yes

Would someone that thinks there is no sex in the game please provide their definition of sex as I think it could be quite interesting to read.

 

[boobsrcool]

That's not true. If you're on the aunt/sister path, you've already banged her.

sister path?

 

[MiciChan]

Does anyone know when the story will continue?

 

[Anthaeus]

Does anyone know when the story will continue?

The honest answer is no. All of the info is somewhere in the 1300+ pages of posts, but here's a quick summary.

The next update will be mainly missions and any other bits and pieces needed to get the game ready for chapter 1 to be released on Steam.

Like any steam release, there will probably be some updates to correct issues before development resumes in earnest on the story.

Hopes, (the solo developer), lives in Denmark, which has a very high cost of living. He has needed to work a full time job to pay the bills, and this means long development times. This might change after the steam release but probably won't.

Hopes has always been clear about the fact that although he would like to work full time on the game, real life issues take priority.

 

[Cartageno]

I think it's pretty apparent how this dev feels about the people who don't like the lack of sexual content.

Yes, that is true. He may not disapprove of them on a personal level but their opinion won't change stuff. Just like a chef in a Chinese restaurant may not bake a pizza even if people demand it, or a rock band may not be doing a rap song. He is "offering" a game he makes and people who like the theme and the way can enjoy it. We can still discuss whether he does what he does well, but there is a certain part of the audience this game is going for (like any other game) and if you (general "you", not necessarily "jhustrue you") are not part of this audience that is not inherently the game's (or better developer's) fault.

(The scene you are referring to is in my understanding more about the style of complaints than the content by the way, but that is probably not important for this discussion here.)

Is there penetrative vaginal intercourse to orgasm in the game? Yes.
Is there a blowjob in this game? Yes
Are there grinding to orgasm scenes in this game? Yes
Are there other foreplay scenes? Yes

Would someone that thinks there is no sex in the game please provide their definition of sex as I think it could be quite interesting to read.

I think they are referring to the well known definition by behavioral psychologist William J. Clinton.

 

[OnlyFriend]

See you in next november for the next update

 

[c3p0]

In fact, if you were using the Royal We, We can still mean one person. I should start using the royal we, practicing for the future.

We think, as in our role as the official spokeperson of Floaty, that you are right. Therefore from now on, we will refer to us from now one with we.

Come to think of it, I actually thought Gracie's "Working for Family" storyline will get resolved in this season 1, but it didn't.

As you already know, the recording shows. Perhaps it would be more from Cordia, if it wasn't for the cliffhanger.

We don't like this update, we haven't seen a glimpse of any dragoons and neither of Floaty. We would urgent the developer of this game to change all his plan and immediately add the necessary things to include at least one Floaty scene and one dragoon scene with each update. Otherwise we can not recommend this game, because of the lack of it.
We also future encourage this site to add the tags "Floaty" and "Dragoons" to it.

Is there penetrative vaginal intercourse to orgasm in the game? Yes.
Is there a blowjob in this game? Yes
Are there grinding to orgasm scenes in this game? Yes
Are there other foreplay scenes? Yes

Would someone that thinks there is no sex in the game please provide their definition of sex as I think it could be quite interesting to read.

We also would like to hear their definition. Maby we could compare it with well know definition of "sex" that are from general accepted english authorities and see if we can find out the difference. As it is nothing that we can do, could change if they are willing to participate in it or not, so we only can wait and see.

Oh, Allan. We are astonishes and highly honoured to know that you have used your valued time for our post and even given us a reward with your gracious reaction. We know, we will cherish that for the rest of our humble life.

Sorry, I don't get the first part - what do you mean by "real" here?

And no, it is not "of course" though "more and more" will certainly happen but it will just be less than in other games on this site (though as has been mentioned, we already have more than in some games).

 

[jish55]

So because this is the end of season 1, that means we'll be seeing this game finally being put on steam. Once that happens, if Hopes gets a lot of support from the steam sales and in turn, more supporters on Patreon, could lead to him working on the game full time. What people need to remember with this game is that, as Hopes has stated time and again, this is a hobby and not his main job, where he only works on it when he has the time.
