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

So, I was wondering : would not it be better for the game to « soften » Luna's past a bit ?
Because once we have watched it, we no longer have the same vision of the game and the humor may no longer be effective.

Maybe the hard way for her story is necessary for something later on, so far the game seems pretty well thought out.

 

[pothb]

why soften it, if it changes the story?

Humor still works for me.

 

[jamdan]

The humor will be even better in the future because Luna will be happy. Luna going from completely broken to finding happiness will be great, if she cracks jokes about something we now have background for it to be a lot more impactful even if it is meant to be funny/light-hearted.

Luna's story is a pretty classic broken girl becoming whole again story, seeing her terrible past will make the rest of her story a lot better.

Well, if this " something " is " be able to make suffer the Mysterious Six the same way Luna suffered ", I totally agree with you.

No need to change the story. I was thought like a mix between the short and the long version, or something like that.
The long version is more or less 1 hour of reading about the torture of innocent little girls and some renders are really cruels. I find that too much (but again, it's just my opinion).

The humor will be even better in the future because Luna will be happy. Luna going from completely broken to finding happiness will be great, if she cracks jokes about something we now have background for it to be a lot more impactful even if it is meant to be funny/light-hearted.

I guess it's a matter of point of view but I understand what you say.

Just played through Luca's past.. Holy crap that was tough to endure! Makes me want to murder those bastards!
Well written! Just so glad you didn't go.. darker.. that would've made me delete the game.

Darker.... like... ntr loli rape darker? Cuz honestly, that's all I can think of to be darker, at that point.

 

[voldybuff]

On the contrary, Having loved the Luna Backstory, I would love this game even more if it had more stuff like that(perhaps darker even) sprinkled throughout the game. I love it when media goes dark like this. It is infinitely more interesting.

Of course not loli ntr....whatever dark.

 

[Joey the mangaka]

This game not have NTR or incest. Its dark in other story

 

[Darkarhon]

Hmm cant wait for next version.

So, the 300 patrons for making this his full time dream job changed to 500, and now it was removed completely? I mean, many developers patron goals are just lies, but removing it completely, I don't know if that's better?

Come on be fair ... if you have had 300 patrons of whom half are paying 1 to 5 bucks could you live from this income and be a full-time developer? sustaining a family perhaps? It is understandable that he removed this goal ... it maybe wasn´t the smartest move to announce it as a goal in the first place but hey! we are all entitled to making errors and learn from them!

You're phrased that like I just removed it without saying anything.
Why do some people act like I don't have a patreon page? I shared why I removed it there.

To make it simple;
A random dude- who spends his time doing random stuff such as playing Fortnite and making naughty hand signs to friends- write a little naughty text. He sends out the text and to his surprise, it gets liked and a lot of people start following and wanting more.
He then tries to understand how the whole 'dev' world works and heard that making goals is a sure winner.
300 patrons seemed like a huge number and there must be a lot of money in there (because of inexperience). 300 came fast and it was far from a huge number. Not even close to minimum wage. Dev then changes it because he doesn't want to remove due to already having it as a goal so he changes it to 500 (because of inexperience).
When 500 gets closer dev is more experienced and realize those kinds of goals are stupid, and that he should just do it full time when he feels comfortable.

Point is- you don't start out as an experienced dev. You learn as you go. When something needs to change then you as a dev can't be afraid to change due to some few who will call you a liar and what not.

Thank you for an amazing experience.

Thanks for clearing it up I didn't want to sound offence in any way. Are there any plans to make new patron goals now though?

I have some plans but nothing concrete for now. Probably ask some fellow devs on it.
