Nice Game but is there any FR translation?
All translation work is done by volunteers.
If you don't see the option to change the translation to French (or if the option is there but it doesn't work), it likely means that the people who may have been working on the translation before have likely abandoned it.

Started playing this weekend and while the story is overall funny and good, my main criticism would be that the character cast is a confusing mess. I just read the Story 11:Cogwheel-scene and it's doing what the game does all the time: each scene some new people show up and are usually quickly forgotten again. Like, remember the blond prodigy fighter from the intro? Everyone probably thought he would be the main antagonist to the MC, playing a huge role in this game .. instead so far he never showed up again. Why wasn't he at the raid on the warehouse or in one of the other gang-scenes, instead of some random bald-y guy or the rollerblade-girl?

Same for the brothel/tavern-characters. At the beginning it was introduced like those would be important places but you never go there again. I tried to go there through the free-roam-mission later again but you can't even enter.

Also the grinding to become a Soldato was a bit too much. Also very strange pacing since you need to grind out all those levels early to move on with the main story (and earn money for gifts) - and afterwards you don't need any more contracts again and you're basically max-level.

But then again, the game is really fun. I especially like Luna and Wilfried, such great character!

Dev said before that Dominico (the blonde prodigy fighter you're referring to) will show up in season 2.
As for why he doesn't show up in MC's other missions in season 1; well you do realize that the DeLucas (the Family in which MC is in Contract with) are one of the Big 5, right?
Hence, the Family has tons of Soldatos and also many missions which happen off screen (i.e. missions MC does aren't the only missions the Family has lol).
And while he doesn't show up after that Intro and town exploration event, he does get mentioned at least once; with Luna saying he's an up-and-comer in one of Gracie's events (Fawkes arc).
So saying the character is forgotten is incorrect as well as your assumption that Dominico will be the main antagonist to MC (what I remember Hopes saying is Dom may become a bit of rival for our MC down the line, but wouldn't say he actually becomes an antagonist)


I mean, random bald-y guy or the rollerblade-girl are both Capo-regime, the high rankers within the Family lol.
They both appeared at least 2 missions (Fazio mission against Straffan and Ombra mission for Eiza) already in season 1, and will have much more presence in the game as the MC rises in ranks.


Same for the brothel/tavern-characters. At the beginning it was introduced like those would be important places but you never go there again. I tried to go there through the free-roam-mission later again but you can't even enter.

I mean you still can visit or get references to the following locations;

- Gina's tavern is mentioned in one of Gracie's events
- Old Capo Vincent appears in one of Isabel's events
- Musala Hill is a place you visit in one of Luna's events
- La Gamma is also a place you visit in one of Luna's events
- The Church of the nun sisters Amita, Amata, and Father Batista MC visits as one of Wilfred's Contracts

There's only so much one can cram in with the side content before it feels to crammed.

But Hopes (dev) has stated that the game will have 3 seasons. And with Wilfred's contracts, we've only got the E contracts.
I'm sure we'll be revisiting several of these locations (like the tavern and brothel) from season 2 by events or more contracts.

Grinding with Wilfred's contracts gameplay, shrugs. I didn't mind it really. The contracts themselves I initially found to be challenging, but soon found them easy enough. And found the grind to be nowhere near as bad as some other sandbox games I went through in this site.
But in terms of Contracts some people don't like them, others like them.
I'm obviously in the latter camp, but it is what it is.
Different strokes for different folks.

Just realized that the game seems to have screwed up the order of the scenes, as the actual mission which should have lead to this scene is just playing now. Maybe a bug?

I'm sharing the following recent Dev Post with permission from HopesGaming (it's from his discord);

```Hey DeLucas!

It's been a while since my last update. I hope you've all been doing well :slight_smile: Season 1 of DeLuca is pretty much wrapped up, with the codex finished, the gallery fixed, and VN-only mode completed. Full on work with Season 2, and things are looking promising.

As many of you are aware, I recently got engaged, which has led to a bit of a slowdown in my DeLuca work and my response time to some DMs. However, I have some exciting plans for November in relation to Season 2 content, and I'll do my best to keep you all informed. Currently, no eta on release date and the main prioritize is on my real life and my wedding plans.

Season 2 is going to kick it up a notch! After the explosive events at the end of Season 1, there will be an emergency meeting between the Big Five families. We'll get to witness not only the gathering of the dons but also the crucial younger members of the various families.

In the preview image, you can see Fawkes standing alongside Erico's younger brother, the Don of the Bonanzo Family. This meeting will also feature other prominent newcomers, including Siobhan, for those who remember her!

Throughout the new season, you can expect to see plenty of style changes. Luna is sporting a new outfit in the scene, and gradually, the rest of the characters will undergo transformations too.

I'm eagerly looking forward to sharing all the exciting new adventures we have in store for Season 2, and personally, I can't wait for the dream of releasing on Steam to come true!

Wow, although I hate the grind, I do like the characters quite a bit and the story has got me wanting more. As I am new to this game I kind of like the blend of old school text rpg with the vn but it to got a bit grindy. Anyways, I love the story arc so far but......... Just finished Lunas story and HOLY "GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES" BATMAN!!!!! I had to take a break, that was ...a lot. Well done!!

In Changelog it says that the issue with Lucania intro is fixed, but not in my case though
Every time I load a save file, it reverts me back to that point
Is there a way to fix this?

If you're still having issues with it report it on Hopes Discord server (link is in the OP).
