To me its just alright. The story is good with very good graphics and good execution of sandbox(somehow the dev managed to pull it off so you actually enjoy it and its not tedious). But the main thing holding me back from really liking is the super slow development rate. 1 update a year that usually doesen't even have a lot of content or 2 updates a year, That's if we are super duper extremely lucky. Would for sure recommend trying it out.
I don't mean to be rude i just wanted to know an estimate or a pattern or something but yeah my bad
Up to the 0.06.x updates the release time was OK. Not fast, but we had a average of 3-4 updates per year. After that we only have 1 or 2 updates per year and more like 1 updates per year. I don't blame hope for it, he always was upfront on this with us.

But for a game to have success it would need a faster and more constant update cycle. Also for that few updates per year, they are to small. Again nothing against hope, only stating my opinion why the game isn't such a success instead of all the goods it has.

So, going for a major release, I have this numbers:

Okay, a little bit of update to share with all the DeLuca soldiers after the discord DM with Hopes (he gave me consent to disclose the below).


Hopes' plans right now;

- To have the steam release of The DeLuca Family Season 1 ready at the end of this month. He's just waiting for morbil (his coder) to finish the code for Codex (lore section) as he also has the image ready for that.

- Visual Novel mode (the last mode after the 2 other modes Full Experience, Just Story) release will coincide with the steam release.
HornyyPussy iirc, I think you were waiting for this one to get the VN mode release, or was I mistaken?
Anyway, all people waiting for VN mode to be available, the wait isn't long; it's coming soon-ish!

- With the gameplay (which has been an ongoing debate here), Hopes' reply was "It's not decided yet. I'll see how I feel about it once I get there for season 2. But it could possibly be implementing suggestions of what fans made in the discussions."

is Season 2 currently in active development? Still in pre-production? Or is all the focus is on Season 1 steam release?

From what I understand, his focus till now (other than RL stuff he had going on) has been primarily for Season 1 steam release, which will include the following additions

- VN mode
- Gallery revamp
- Codex (lore section)

So yeah, I'd say season 2 is still in pre-production for most part.
He will most likely switch gears to focus on season 2 when season 1 is out on steam.

I recall Hopes talking about a friendship mod
A route where you can just be friend with either of the girls if you're not interested. Did he ever spoke about it again ?

I haven't played much
It sounds like you have to bang all the girls is that true?
Well, so far you are banging not really any of the main LIs (of the family) though it is quite sexual and yes, you can avoid one (Isabel) to a degree, one (Cordia) has no explicit content so far, but Gracie and Luna are somewhat forced, though what happens precisely will depend on decisions. Which leads to the old pitfall of such novels that just being a nice person to somebody can backfire if you want to friendzone them.

Like the others said : You have some lewd content with Luna and Gracie (mandatory but how it plays depend on your choices) and you can avoid Isabel.
You can also avoid some one-shot sexual scenes.
