Uh, you're remembering it wrong.
Season 1 finale was a cliffhanger, but it was Gracie getting shot in the DeLuca family's dinner (or could have been breakfast or lunch, for all we know) with an attack from unknown forces. Poisoning food was what happened to MC in the very early part of the game.

And I was sure it was when Jony or whatever his name is, died again.

I think everything went downhill, in a major way, since Hopes added the text based mini game. It's not the mini-game itself, which is frankly just bad and seems to belong in a completely different game, but also it just seems to have taken all his attention or perhaps allowed him to pass off development to someone else, so everything else has been very short and rudimentary, not to mention taking over a year each release for the last 3 or years. This game has been in development for 6 years, but the last several years have been basically next to nothing story wise.
This looks pretty much like the slow death we have seen with many, many games here. The dev takes longer and longer to release, with less and less content per release, less and less communication, until all but a few fans forget about it. It's too bad. Story-wise, Deluca Family is in the top 5, but development has to actually happen.
I remember how in the discord literally everyone were telling him that mini-game idea is shit and will kill the game by distracting him from the main plot. Then he took a year and a half introducing like 3 quests with combined playtime of about 20 minutes, and it all went downhill from there.
Sometimes people are not wrong.
I think Lockhear made more renders with Deluca characters in the last 3 years than the dev.
yet most active games even though they only get 1 update a year usually have devs talking more than what is it now ? once in 6monts or something. i could agree with you if the dev had said anything about the game. instead they dont seem to have been active here or in discord or even online in discord as far as i can see. instead we get a dead patreon not used since may, a dead f95zone and a dead discord also since around may. i mean not as much as a HI PEOPLE. they put out season 1 and went dead silent

You couldn't be more right about that. The Deluca family's fanbase is probably the worst I've ever seen on this forum. I remember that some time ago, you literally couldn't say anything about how Hope was taking more and more time to deliver updates without them attacking you and making you feel bad about it. But it seems like maybe the people who were criticizing him weren't so wrong after all, huh?

Hmm, I actually like the mission mini game and thought it was an improvement over what we had before. To me, I'd say the Steam release and supposedly going "full time" as a dev is when things went south.

I'm not shitting on the game or the dev. It's a great game and I have nothing against the dev. But just look at the enthusiasm for the game. I posted a week ago and we are still on the same page.
This game used to be one of the top games on this site. If you look at other top games, you can barely keep up with the thread. Your post disappears inside a ton of other useless posts. (That's why I rarely post in very popular game threads)
I would expect the same from the Deluca Family, but the enthusiasm for this game has died. I was just making an observation. I'm not excited about updates anymore, since they have been a bit underwhelming for a long time. So a new update for TDF does not excite me anymore. And I say that as an absolute fan of the game. It's not that the quality of the story went down, but it feels like the story does not move forward.
In any case... not going to post more negative posts. The game is still an awesome game. I just motivated myself to play the latest updates....lol
of course enthusiasm dies when there is not as much as a word from the dev about the game in multiple months.

Most likely...the dude has always put out updates on his Patreon veeeeery infrequently. Pretty sure this game has gotten the abandoned tag a few times due to how rarely he talks about it. When the update is ready or near ready he talks about it, it isnt ideal but it's whatever.

A good game from a lazy developer, he promised to work on the game full time after the release on Steam, and then disappeared forever
