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

[MonkeyLord]

And since when do people read a forum???

I know they don't, which is why I make it my duty to shame them all into actually doing it

 

[HopesGaming]

I thought this game/VN was dead.
It's been 6 months since the last real update (and the patreon is set to monthly payment...) and the change-log (if you can even class that as a change-log) says that the update is purely focused on a single character. That's just disappointing.
There isn't any real hint as to how much content there is (i.e. how many new renders, animations, estimated length of time to get through the new content, etc.).
In my (and I'm sure most people's) opinion, any audio/voice acting/sound effects in these types of VN's/games are irrelevant, as it all just gets muted from the outset and is thus a waste of time/focus/money/etc. that could be better applied elsewhere (but if the dev is adamant about adding those kind of things, then I would suggest that it would make more sense to do so in the polishing stage when the VN/game is complete/close to completion - the equivalent of post-production editing).
The reason I find these things frustrating is that I do vaguely recall enjoying this VN.

So...
How much content is there in this update?
Is it always going to take so long for each (proper) update?

I have made several comments and patreon posts about the situation regarding the time of the updates.

I don't know why it's a disappointment to focus on a character that hasn't gotten content for a while.
I am not a fan of render amounts. You don't get any real value out of it. Some games can have 1000's of renders but those mostly consist of renders from animations or several hundred of the same renders just with spot rendering (changing expressions etc.) Too many factors that play into it that make no sense for it.

In my (and I'm sure most people's)

Please don't do that. I hate (and I'm sure most people as well) when people try to make their own opinion as fact and using other people to validate their opinion without any evidence of such.
But to answer, HELL NAW! Music is a big thing in the game. Reading the comments and reviews clearly shows you are wrong about most people muting the game. The whole game is built around the music. You don't watch a movie and then turn it all down and just watch with subtitles. You only do that for porn movies. And if you think this is a porn game. Then music or no music- you'll be disappointed.

About your last question;

Nothing wrong with a bit of complaining. When devs deserve a complain they should be complained towards.
But that requires for the complainer to at least use the search function a bit and read about the situation before writing something.

near to death ... minim content virgin mc

You a minim content virgin.
Learn to sex please.

Any info about upcoming changes ?? Can mc become a serpent ???

Mc will raise in the ranks and become rather influential. But can't say more than that as it would be spoiler things, heh.

It's complicated to be a dev when you have an income xd Me I send shit to all those who are not happy on my mod (well yeah it's free ahaha)

I am so bad at making release dates that I wouldn't dare to make one just a few days after this release, hehe.
Once the game update is done and sent to the beta testers, first then I think I make a release date.

But I can say that I won't allow it to take as much time as this one took. So no, won't be near those dreadful 6 months.

Just promise 5 months, it's still shorter than 6, and when you're able to release it much faster, people will only be overjoyed

is there heels in this game ? i mean in scene/animation ?

I would say no, hopesgaming even forgets to redo the foot pose, when he makes a new scene but shush.

 

[Smexy]

amazing the girl live in cages became femme fatale tey theres no wall, window and door lets peek the curtain

 

[Raminita]

So we can dodge Bullets?

Just do what I do, take this game as a Stephen Chow's movie. Things doesn't have to actually make sense all the time to make sense.

 

[Sciak11111111111]

Humour of this, is just up my alley. Definitely like the characters, great personalities..

Gief more Cordia tho.

 

[Foreigner10]

I really like this game, I wish for a complete version someday. If the world or at last the economy survive this COVID-19 shit, I probably gonna be a patreon.

 

[WindIsHowling]

Hint hint all people complaining about devs taking thousands of dollars in patreon money and using it to do the bare minimum of actual work - stop funding it. Fund the ones who take it seriously if it bothers you so.

 

[smuk]

I'm very glad to have new update. Like this game very much
But there is so little of a story for a half-year development IMO...
So now? Gonna wait another 6 month for a new 5 beautiful, nice directed and made with heart scenes...
Idk. Sometimes it's would be better to forget and remember about this one in a year or two.
But will you be able to forgot this game?

Same here. On top of that If dev adds a little more "sexy time", will also became a patreon.

 

[Mr.Qaywesdxc]

The event list simply tells you what is needed to start the event. Not what to do while doing the event.
Again, it was added for people that didn't know where to go next.

The journal is a step by step what to do while doing an event.

Too many steps to add to the event list for that.

I also got the idea of merging those two in the journal. There is no need to make them to one page list. No one wants that. But moving the questlog to journal (persisting two tabs - one journal, second questlog or vice versa). You could easily switch between them. I think this is idea worth thinking about, but then again, not necessary.

I often click on "?" instead of journal.

That made not compatible safe

There really weren't many who did. You just used it as an excuse to attack.
I'll never get people like you.

I can definitly see what Voland1 and you are saying on this.
Making them closer to each other would help the situation I think.
How much coding work that would be is what is stopping me right now.
Will look into it.

I wish people like yourself would actually bother to read just a few pages back... Or use the search function to understand what's been going on with the game instead of jumping to conclusions.
