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

[raider_manhc]

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.

yeah thats the cliffhanger i was thinking about, with

im good with hopes not updating us as long as he's actively working on it

Well, that is the big question: is he still working on it???

 

[dami123]

This game is one of the best game I've played but it updates super slow. I really like the mafia story of it, it's hard to find games with similar concept

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.

How do I increase my perception? My other stats are quite ok but I am stuck on that

 

[Nerdbro]

Are there any cordia scenes or not? It's grayed out in the gallery

Not yet. Hopefully in the future...

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

 

[Krytax123]

i think he does. there's steam release and the lore articles. Why wouldn't he want a Season 2 steam release and additional income.
The question for me is whether he's working on this full time (regular working hours), or in his spare time like the majority of devs

i prefer quicker updates if it's full time tbh. But to be fair to hopes, DPC release update once a year even though he's full time4

DPC is a shitty comparison, his updates have the size (or bigger) like fully completed other avns.

So the end of time is here since this is forever huh?

How do you know that he is NOT working on it just because we haven't heard from him for a while? Know something the rest of us doesn't (regarding Hopes)?

 

[Matt2012021]

Take it some people don't know this vn has really long development cycle's updates could take a year or more and yes could be less

 

[donbas]

Another abandoned game

And without fail, he makes an update post every week.

like i played the update before the steam release several years ago and it has the exact same content as the new version. Like did the dev even do anything significant at all on this in the past several years? i just treat this game as abandoned af. I feel sorry for the people buying it on steam.

Ok, good to know!

Of course, nobody knows anything, which is part of the problem. Personally, if I had to bet, I think Hopes is still working on the game, but just at a slower and slower pace, until basically the fans will get 5 to 10 minutes of gameplay every 2 years. But, I wish he would have abandoned all the minigame parts, both before and after the text based mini-game shift, and just make this a straight KN.

Not sure if that would make anything any faster as far as updates go, but at least focus on what people care about. Plus, the mini games make the game worse in every way, and doesn't fit at all in the story. It's lazy, because he got someone else to do that part, just as filler to the lack of content is less obvious.

 

[Dessolos]

Honestly I just want to see the very next bits of the story and hope we get some answers about Gracie's status and if it gets abandoned or not after that it is what it is

Whoa, six years to finish Season 1! So 2036 to finish Season 2 and 3?
