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

[JJJ84]

In the trailer video on Steam it says "Soldato Edition", are there other editions available?

Basically full Season 1 itself (whether it's on Steam, or the one which will be released here along with Steam release) is Soldato Edition.

Just something that I suggested to Hopes it terms of naming (while he was planning Steam release and putting his trailer together) since MC is Soldato by the time season 1 ends, given other devs put similar sorts of names as well; whether it's "Taboo Edition" (That one, is used by Perverteer by Tales from the Unending Void) or "Unrated Edition" etc etc.

And if this naming pattern continues to seasons 2 and 3, I have a good feeling Steam releases for those seasons will be named aligning with our MC's rank at the end of each season - Season 3 may possibly even be "The DeLuca Family Season 3: Godfather Edition."

But I guess only time will tell.

On my wish list also...

Me too.

 

[Talmadge]

Just put it on my Wish List. Hope it comes out soon! I'll enjoy playing it again, and waiting for the next season to start!

It is know, that Steam won't implement the age verification system that Germany required for adult games and simple don't offer them to any German Steam customers instead.
So, no suprise this one is not there either.

Hey DeLucas!
The Steam store page has now been opened! As many of you know, The DeLuca Family has been a hobby project that I've worked on in my free time, often leading to delays or long update times. Despite being a hobby, the pressure to maintain consistent releases weighs heavily on me whenever I see DeLuca fans asking about updates. But now, with the Steam release approaching, we're finally transitioning to make this a full-time job! This means implementing a proper work schedule and sticking to consistent release dates!

Another issue that has always made it hard to work is the work environment. I have a big family, and as a traditional family, they do not know about my adult work. There is a lot of anxiety working while always having to be ready to alt-tab. But on the 15th of this month, I will be moving in with my fiancée (not our lovely proofreader JJJ84's fiancée, even though he offered), and she knows about my adult work.

The DeLuca Family Season 1 will be released around the 22nd of this month. This will also be the date I'll start going full time on this. Please note that only the store page has been approved; the game is still in the review process.

I'm both incredibly nervous and excited for the Steam release, but most of all, the opportunity to dedicate myself fully to The DeLuca Family!

I am very happy for HG .
And as for the alt-tab, always try to sit facing the door so that the screen is not visible from the door, we never sit with our backs to the doors and the screen visible !

Cant wait i'm probably going to be getting this day 1 and replaying it. Been wanting to replay it especially when I heard steam will have a VN mode, even if the cliffhanger might make me think of a certain character and feel bummed out for like a week.

Yea I just got this email from him at Patreon. Awesome news. He already gets my money from Patreon but I will have to thank HopesGaming properly on steam and help him out there too.

So Mommy and Daddy don't know about this?
Just tell them I'm sure they WILL support you.

I will be moving in with my fiancée (not our lovely proofreader JJJ84's fiancée, even though he offered), and she knows about my adult work.

For a milisecond, I thought Hopes was moving in with his fiancée, JJJ's. I don't know why, but that made sense , kind of

Just kiddin', but wait, this guy as proofreader? No way! The mob are always on watch!

 

[Cabin Fever]

Wait, so JJJ is Hope's fiancé?

You don't see his system?
He is proofreader, he lend his house and fiancée to hope...
Surely, he will try to get hopes greatest secrect, the ending of the Deluca family.
Thus I shall raise my voice and call, again, us all to muster the strenght and courage to grab your nearest pickfork and up to a new march.

Wait, so JJJ is Hope's fiancé?

That would explain so much.

Congratulations hopes and JJJ.

hopefully not a misinterpretation on my part...

Yuuuuuup, proofread through the entire season 1 again quite a while ago and picked up several grammar/proofread errors which existed.
Wibble is the main proofreader though; I'm just his helper of sorts, and him and Hopes came to agree that I should be given the Pacificatori role (as can be seen in the below screenshot) as proofreader.




I thought people already knew I was proofreader (think I remember saying this before in this thread?). Guess we can expect more pitchforks sales numbers

It was time you two move in together!

 

[Dessolos]

Saw saw someone talking about the mini game that has the lore and some story to it today on reddit. So that has me a bit curious did Hope ever say how that was going to be added into VN mode if at all ?

HopesGaming and JJJ84 Congratulations to the both of you on your engagement! That's awesome news. Since you will solidify into Man and Proof reader we can get updates faster.
