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

Speaking and reading are intrinsically linked, though.

Having learned at least one or possibly more foreign languages should also be a pretty good proof that although these skills are linked, their link is much-much weaker than you may think.
You may be able to read a foreign language fluently and understand it completely but still be unable to speak it anywhere nearly as well. And even if you can do it inside your head, it may be much more difficult to speak it out loud.
The same goes for writing. Actually, writing is related to speaking a lot more than reading or understanding spoken language.

Almost an year without an update.....So it should be getting an abandoned tag after a few more months if dev doesn't plan on updating here anymore right?

not sure if it counts or not for the sites rules but he released it steam 2 months or so ago , which included VN mode and I think some codex entries. While no new content it technically would count as a new update I would think

Has the Dev started working on season 2 ?

I know he's not doing this full time. I just can't find a status update on season 2.

I'm guessing you have not looked? There was an update in March for Season 1 on both Steam and Patreon, there was no new content, they added only lore and a VN mode.

They are now working on Season 2.

Why are people so obsessed with games getting the abandoned tag? It seems like every game around here after 6 months gets every 5th post asking when the game will be marked abandoned. It's very simple:

1) Three months radio silence on Patreon, Discord, Here, etc
or
2) 18 months of no update
or
3) Dev states that it is abandoned.

There is some discretion, (see Heavy Five), where the rules are bent for a favored dev, but generally these are the rules around here.

Ultimately, why does it matter? If the dev is working on the game, as we all know that Hopes is, at his own pace, an Abandoned tag here won't make the release go any faster. Or, two, if the dev is not working on the game at all and just faking out his fans with the occasional screen-shot, getting marked abandoned won't cause him to suddenly release when there is nothing to release.

Anyway, this is the wrong thread to discuss a game being abandoned. It just released on Steam for big bucks, I am sure.

Why are people so obsessed with games getting the abandoned tag?

This is only my guess but since it is ubiquitous around here, as you say, and similar things happen elsewhere in the world my guess is that for at least a recognizable fraction it boils down to something like this:

They have expectations, which may or may not be realistic, about what they want. As soon as it doesn't go their way, they throw a tantrum are unhappy and want mom a higher power to do something about it so they can feel the sweet feeling of power, which they should have because they are always entitled to having their every demand met. I could go on speculating about what kind of upbringing causes this effect but it would just be that, speculation, and severely off topic, so I won't. Suffice to say that I don't envy them since they would have a life of permanently feeling wronged and being unhappy.

What's the difference between 9.6 that is here and the 1.0 available on Steam and Patreon?

It's been said a bunch already in this thread. v1.0 adds a shit load of "lore" aka more reading, and it also adds a "VN mode", and that is it, maybe some bugfixes and polish, but no new content or scenes.

He says what he needs to say.

He says what he needs to say.

He'll make a statement you cannot refuse?

 

[Kylar Stern]

I mean, Hopes actually comes here and is friendly....not very common with games on this site.

 

[Netherlord]

Hi guys. I think I'm missing something. How do you actually populate the Codex? I've finished all the content of Season 1 built so far I only see one entry for the Pacificatori in my codex. How do I get all the rest?

You need to go to MC's laptop in his room and buy the books.



Of course, this is only the first lot, there's way more.
