Does your game have any connections with 's "The DeLuca Family" books ?

I got a similar problem with the Mac version. Deleting persistent files didn't help. I pretty much used any combinations of keys and clicks, but I never managed to go back to the previous menu.
Did you delete the persistent and save game files in both locations? Game- and renpy folder? I dont have a mac so not sure if its correct but the renpy folder should be in something like user/library/renpy/TheDelucaFamaly.

Im still wondering when the character will get the chance to rescue Eiza Carnefice's sister, as right now she seems like a distant memory, and the MC promised to rescue her, and Eiza was looking like she might be one of the first members of your future squad.

Hey DeLucas,

Hope everyone have been well.
Some progress talk time.
Have gotten a decent chunk of Isabel's quest-line done. We will get a bit further with the relationship between her and the mc but also some information regarding her relationship with Antonio. Isabel will also be the only girl with two routes. Lewd route vs friends only route. For now, the only difference is the text and lewd events and scene will be omitted in the friend route.
This is mainly done for people that do not want to cuckold our dear Antonio.
Also, this is a lewd rotation and Isabel is the most 'lewd' of the main girls. Her content will be more on the naughty side than any of the girl so far.

I've yet to start the rescue the sister arc (beside a few pages worth of the dialogues) and depending on the time it takes to finish Isabel's stuff I may change stuff up a bit.
More on that in the next dev.update.

Mc "Stop teasing me so much, Isabel."

Hi there,

I finished Story Nine and My name is Luna (what a backstory...) and all character missions, but I still can't proceed to Story Ten. Any precondition existed?

BTW, this is a very nice game even without much fap content.

Wow, am I the only one who hated Luna's flashback story because of how dark it was?? I don't want to find shit like that in any adult games I play. I understand dev wanted to give Luna a sad backstory to explain her craziness, but did it need to be THAT dark for an adult game? Like wtf, that sad 1 hr long flashback didn't belong in this game. Game tone was lighthearted and mostly comedic (Even the gunshot scenes), until that depressing kid prison flashback. If I wanted to read shit like that I would read some grimdark books.

It told you it was gonna be dark, and gave you the option to skip it. Don't whine because you chose to watch it. Be like Smogark. Accept the choices you've made, and honor them.

I don't constrain myself regarding what the norm is supposed to be. I've never believed in staying in one box. I like doing my own thing without any templates on 'how it is supposed to be'.

If you know you do not like dark tones in adult games, why play the full version of the story? I clearly made a warning that it was not for the faint of heart and even made a short version (that has no emotional impacts)

Lastly, the first story section of the game explains how the mc's mother tried to poison him. Nothing lighthearted about that.

I disagree. True the game has a very comedic and lighthearted tone for a lot of scenes, but there are also some darker scenes like when err...Trinio or whatever his name is got shot in the face in Cordia's office, or the scene immediately before the Luna backstory event where she goes apeshit without any wet-wipes to clean up. (I mean, come on Luna, ALWAYS bring wet-wipes to a gunfight!)

And as for the flashback scene itself :
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

It's true that it isn't a happy story, but I felt it was very important character building, and extremely well done.

I'll refer you to this post by HopesGaming : https://f95zone.to/threads/the-deluca-family-v0-05-hopesgaming.15459/post-2706326

I guess you might not be only one but there was a warning and if you were active here Hopes said that it was going to be really dark but in-game warning is enough for those for who don't want this.
Many people complain about not having sex and that game should be light hearted but you know there tons of games like that. But again why this is one of best rated games cause its different.
I just hope hopesgaming don't change any events that he has planned due to comments like this. Something that I would like change about this game is time between updates but that is also ok as long as he don't rush to get it out.

After more than 30 years of video game, I'm quiet astonished to see, that some of use doesn't know we, the players, doesn't have, at least in 99% of the case, a word in how the game should be - and I don't want to see a game where the dev consider every player out there.

So it usually exist two types of games for us, the players: The ones we like and the ones we don't like.
I say use your time for the first and stay away for the second, as the first have enough titles to play, but are a lot harder to find.

Other than that HopesGaming stay on your course as I like the game. Obviously not for all parts, but for most of it - including Lunas backstory.

Just disappointed that the tone of the game changed at that point, and anyone that far in an adult game without seeing any sex scenes would obviously be in it for the entire full story now lol. I haven't seen the short story but I'm guessing it still wouldn't have changed what happened to Luna or the other little girls? You having to add a 'short story' option first time on Luna's flashback was also odd and also probably proves my point that the game took an unexpectedly serious dark turn. That 30 sec flashback story of MC being poisoned by his mom was also light and nothing compared to Luna's backstory.

The whole point of the Luna flashback was to tell the story of how Luna turned out the way she did, it was one of the best pieces of storytelling I've seen in the past few years (adult or not) and fully deserved to be in the author's story.

The tone needed to change to address Luna's backstory, as has already been said, you were given the choice not to read the full story; the warning was very clear about what was coming. Besides that, you said it yourself this is one of those
adult games
This isn't one of those 10,000 generic landlady/tenant stories. It's art! I hope you stick with it! :)

Smogark not brain so well since obviously an Orc. But Smogark think you brain less. Look at theme of story. Involves mafia. Before Luna's backstory. You literally see her murderhobo a bunch of weaklings and get drenched in blood. Not to mention their "punishment" prior to actually seeing her backstory. Looking at the stats for what exist already. There exists a number of people killed stat. It's not going to be comedic, and light-hearted always. Smogark not sure what your definition of "light" is when it comes to story-telling either. But being poisoned by one's family is not light. It opens the door to much darker things. As an Orc. Smogark may be biased for liking violence. But when it comes to something like this. This is a story. It's not just a wanton porn game. It's very obvious that it's more story driven than anything. The game doesn't take an unexpectedly serious dark turn. Nor will it ever really do so. We know full well upon looking at things as a whole. It'll get dark pretty quickly, and it can happen at any time. If you're incapable of seeing that, Smogark not know. Adult games aren't just solely porn. Much like how adult movies, TV shows, events, and books aren't solely porn. Be like Smogark, and brain more. Might get more brain than Smogark even

Could be worse, involved it with things like rape (which is most unlikely and to my relief it is not, Patreon's HopesGaming would be sent straight to the shadow realm).
Anyway, the backstory is quite surprising and refreshing??? (idk how to express it). I guess it is not expected to had that kind of things in an Eroge and had quite some depth. I came to fap but was intrugued by the story. Second time it happens after Offcuts by Stencilbits.
At the end, exchange of Cordia with Wilfred was welldone. In midway i was suspecting the classic Evil mastermind Wilfred. Wilfred dissapointed with Cordia choice and silently nurturing Grace to make her second coming of Cordia in the past and replace her to make Deluca family rise above and greater than the 5 big family.
aaaaand it is not by the end of it, Wilfred and Joey is indeed quite similiar lol. That was farfetched thinking of mine and silly hahaha........ unless ????
