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

[saphirweapon]

Actually, both sides have a point. Still disappointing for an adult who just wants to do stuff legally

Nope, German Politicans doesnt have a valid point, they are just plain stupid to accept the world as it is.

That sentence might sound kinda harsh. But just make yourself clear what the circumstances are. They are trying to protect underage people in germany. That on his own isnt a bad thing. But they refuse to accept that the internet isnt a german thing and that they cant control the internet. So any underage people in germany does have full access to whatever content the internet has. To believe it does make any impact to brute force a very strict age verification in a local area is just a religious stupidity. And that is even more true if you have in mind that there are many other daily life things that arent suitable for underage people yet it is acessable to them without any proper age verification system. FSK 18 Movies on TV ? No problem anyone can watch them and the only protection is the time of the day (but to be fair that is true for movies but not for hardcore porn as hardcore porn isnt shown in tv at all) .

It just strikes me as very odd, that buying and reviewing is prohibited but not playing. Like shouldn't that be the whole point of verifiying someones age ? To make sure they can't see the "adult" content before they reach the appropiate age ?

Well, no one said that the complete logic behind Valves decision making hast to be understandable for us ...

I am sure that Valve does review the requirements from german goverment as stupid aswell. To make these games still giftable and playable is just a business-decision to still get profit from german customers.

If you want to make age restriction working you would have to verify the age of someone every time they log into something. And no, a password on some previously verified account isnt a working verification that makes sure that underage people cant play these things.

Because for example you could have bought a game before this discrepancy came into effect (as I did with quite a few) and it wasn't about taking stuff away. But yes, there are some inconsistencies, for example "Football Manager" used not to be available in Germany (due to licensing issues with FIFA and/or clubs involved) - directly that is. I could just buy a code at amazon.co.uk, and enter that in Germany to get it.

Well, it is as with a lot of other things. While one cannot completely prohibit stuff happening, you can try to stop them "dealing" in the open. There are restrictions on quite a few things, yet people get around it, but that doesn't mean we should sell strong liquor to a 10 year old just because otherwise a neighbor might just buy it for him. But probably we are veering off topic for this thread.

one question i'm really curious, does the dev want to finish the game at V1.0.0?

I don't know whether the final version number is planned in any way. However, the numbers as given are not indicative of a percentage of finishing, so neither does "0.9.6" mean "96% done", nor does "0.09.6" mean "9.6% done". It is just a counter that may stop whenever the game is finished.

It's the end of Season 1, which is only on Steam at the moment, it will be on Patreon at a later date. Season 2 no clue what version number it will start at, and it will be a DLC for Steam. But v1.0 is the end of Season 1.

 

[DeFuZe]

Perhaps once the next update comes out the name could change into The DeLuca Family Season 2 v0.1 to avoid further confusion.

It could be good, because the new update go to 0.09.6--->0.1.0 right?

 

[|XenoN|]

It's okay bro.
Thank you, you are really made one of the best game ever.
I played 100+ games but yours is best and have one of the best FC and MC. My all time favourite is Luna❤. I always wish there was a Luna in my life. So, I can go and say "I can fix her" like MC did in the story.

Man you need to go out more,you sound depressed af.

Why is the vn update only on steam and not on patreon? I really want to give this one a try but the gameplay was always kinda unbearable for me

Yes, I'm also MemoGaming heh.
The steam version is 1.0
There are no new events. It's basically just the whole season 1 with some polish, Vn-mode and new lore added. around 40ish page of lore with a few images with it. Basically just some world building and some past events back when Cordia and the other serpents were on the rise.

Direct Post from Patreon:

About Patreon release. Next week I will make a new update post on how the releases are going to be on here.

When The DeLuca Family have got to steam, it has been time for me to replay it there. However, although I choose full experience (yes Luna with ice cream and pistol) my visit to Lucania has only story parts, no traveling S,N,E and W. Is it deliberately done, cut this part out of game or is some devils in play there?

Lucania town exploration is cursed atm.
There is a bug that I can't replicate that I'm trying to fix. So I disabled it for now.
The town is currently mostly empty with content anyway. Plans for a lot of content at lucania (espcially the tina, gina, bianca sisters) but until then it's closed off.
So no devils in play :3

Btw, don't forget to leave your honest review after you played the game! If you don't mind, that is!

I am waiting to get some hour count to make review. So it has some credibility. I gave review here already, so I don't need to think anything new fortunately. Thanks for fast answer.

 

[JMM-n95]

sorry if its asked before, does the steam version include some new scenes except 0.09.6

ohhhhhh, can't wait, my fav "daz" novel of all time, felling anxious already for next chapter <3 also, good luck on the bug fixes

I feel that so much right now. Even tho I bought it on steam I cant decide if I want to replay it or wait for Season 2. On one hand I love this game been awhile since ive played and VN mode is a good reason too. However I do not want to think about that cliffhanger again and I know playing it again will make me think of it. That cliffhanger made me think of this game for like a week and 1/2 on and off.

the hardest thing is enduring luna story without crying like a baby while our mom think we're weird

you know what's weird for me that part was really sad. That's the saddest thing ive seen in an AVN maybe even TV. Yet the cliffhanger messed me up alot more.
