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

[HopesGaming]

Remember the DeLuca family isn't a dating sim.
Hell, I may be lying and Luna may not even be romanceable hehe.

Maybe I'll kill off Luna in a couple of updates and change up stuff.

Point is, it is a story-based game that is not about getting a girl or anything related to porn. All that is something that just happens along the way. Not the main goal. The term LI, romanceable, and all those words never fitted in my game. Which is why it has always created confusion when I tried to explain it.

If you do, I see these words going on your tombstone.

Just kidding. The grave will be unmarked.

Are they fit the bill for an FI, fuck interest, at least?

By far my favorite type of game when it comes to these visual novels. I want story, detail, depth... Not just random acts of sex with a half decent story which ends up getting yearly updates because the dev(s) run themselves out making deadlines cause animations and renders for the sex scenes take forever.

I know you said you were kidding but... Famous last words.

I would even be happy if there was nothing sexual in the game at all I'm just enjoying the story. If we do up with with one of the girls I would like an option if possible so it gives a good reason to replay it. Whatever happens though I'm sure it will be great like everything else has been so far.

That would be Dr PinkCake levels of evil and heartbreaking.

Hello DeLucas!

Release will be postponed a bit more than a week.
Real life obligations (nothing serious just annoying stuff) have made it so I couldn't really work on the game as planned since the start of this month.
Good new is that it will only be moved one week from the release day (+ a three days, want to release on a weekend instead of the middle of the week). This way our dear proofreader, Medic, can have a bit more time to proofread it as well, heh.
Didn't want to postpone after a release date is set but alas, it is luckily not by much.

So the new release date will be Friday 20. and the rest will follow the same formula.

Another thing I want to share!
This is not for the upcoming update but I still want to let everyone know. I am working together with a coder, Quonix, to improve the game play. (Commission work)

- Text-based adventure (contracts, so now you actually PLAY the contracts instead of simply accepting)
- Combat system (both during the new game play section but also during the story line, can happen everywhere!)
- Soldier system (Recruit your own soldiers, ally up with unique characters, finally seeing the combat stats of Luna, The serpents, and the rest.
- And more!

More in-depth after the release of this update as this new system will be in the next update after this. (To people that hate rpg style gameplay I have made it so you can toggle combat on or off with the option and it be a 'story online mode'.)
Haven't been so existed for something for a really long time!

god damn don't you just hate it when you haven't been existing for a really long time? feels bad man

 

[Zirael Q]

I was having a good time thinking only 3 days left for the update. lol

 

[Canto Forte]

Fire up this game and laugh your $$ off at the gibbrish dialogue from the beginning ...
You will laugh and dream of them babes every time you go see ”em sleeping at night ...
Your imagination will get on fire again and your soul will fill with joy!

having a good time

Game oN!

Holy shit... Was just about counting hours

 

[Deadshot101]

Where the heart is .... is also getting update this month so I don't mind waiting ...... I knew this would happen just like last update ......

 

[Vitez]

Just out of the curiosity, will you (HopesGaming) ever improve the update time window or is it just a minor hobby for you? With all due respect.

Of course. Even if it's a hobby I also know that there are many followers and people who support.
And I don't expect the next updates to be like the previous one and this one. A very big hit to my own goals and I hate it more than the players. But alas, it is what it is and nothing I am stressing myself out over. Also, it is the 'show and don't tell' kind of thing. So, no point in talking about it.
What I don't like is people accusing me of horrendous things such as being a thief (milking). Those I don't even give a rat's ass about, heh.

I am glad to hear that passion is there. There are few quality developers in this branch honestly and I see that all of them are pushing for their best.

Well, the reality is, that there are always going to be people who will complain and accuse you for how other people (adults btw) waste/spend their money on. The most extreme I see is from ICSTOR case but then again patronage, sponsoring and buying aren't the same concepts. Acknowledge but ignore them...

Cheers and good luck.

Admire your work ethics and bravery standing up against the crowd ggermanus...unfortunately life is full off people with attitude of this hopesgaming dude.

What exactly is this guy developing,becouse the way he talks its should be a Game with 10+ Starts at the very least and a very small fee"Per Update"on his patreon,i just would like to look at this so called work or art and something tells me not me alone,and most importantly im sure he could give some incredible advice to Multiple Devs that are nowhere near his "SSS+"level of story and gameplay!

I would like to know as well. Since he thinks I am a 'standard average developer with a puberty theme.'
I mean, he is not wrong but would love to learn something from this perfect dev with his perfect game.

But as Cordia would say;

Its just too bad somone cant call out on his so he can simply stop trolling and annoying people with his baseless and ridiculous accusations and his own imagined "Omnipotence" as game dev!
