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

[wholef'nshow]

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.

Heroes still exist.
Music is the heart of everything we call visual art. From painting, to theater (which my field of work), to cinema, everything "sounds" better with the right soundtrack. I play The DeLuca Family with the headphones well planted in my ears. Music is crucial. Music is life. Thank you very much. And always take care of this part of your work, please.

So we can dodge Bullets?

The Goddes can do everything!!! <3
And we all love her for this!
She is in The Matrix! She can see! She is THE superheroin of our hearts!

3. At this point in development, no one is here for the sex. "Mature/Adult" is a broad term, meaning not meant for children's consumption. The term includes "sex", but there are many other things that fall into this category, "violence" being an example. This game is definitely an adult game, but more so because it tackles issue not suitable for games that are meant for children or everyone, and less so because of the sex that we're promised later on. Basically, think of this as a Deadpool or Stephen Chow's movie in term of humor and "maturity". If that's not what you're looking for, please, go away, and spread the words.

That's the point! Thank you!
And to think that the author wrote it in the first post of this thread.

Fully agree^ also I find it strange how people judge the pace of a game's sex scenes happening by real time update releases Not by time passed within game as it should be, i mean it may take 2 years for a dev to start & finish a game & no sex for 6 months in real time but playing the game from the start, once sex is implemented it's like 1-2 weeks in game time, some people can't even think correctly anymore.... >;D

How people complain about the lack of sex scenes of this game on a forum full of other games where you just have to press start to fuck random...that is what I find strange...

I have no idea how to progress in this new update.... I have already listened to the recording in Isabel's room and I am with her in her room in the evening... what should I do there? I tried talking to her but nothing new pops up and there is nothing in the journal as well.... Any help is appreciated...'

I use this approach when I'm getting stuck, perhaps it will help:

1. Use this forum's search function to see if someone else already asked this.
2. See if there's a walkthrough/guide available in the first post which might explain a little about how the games works.
3. Wait until there's a detailed walkthrough available for the current version of the game.
4. Check the in-game journal and help menu.
5. Wait several days and visit the characters at several locations to see if this progresses the story.
6. Click randomly in the game's interface to see if you might find some hints.
7. Reverse engineer the game's script to see if you're missing something.
8. Kiss Luna.

I have to be honest. I´m not a big fan of fantasy fighting and unrealistic characters, not in books, movies or games. But The story about Luna is incredibly well done... lot´s of emotions... You want to be there and hug the character.... My congrats to the author. PLease sorry for my English and keep this great job !

Well - I (we?) just had to commit suicide by getting rather friendly with Isabel - couldn't help myself . Mind you - first time I had 2 saves for this game with one playing the friendship route as well.

One minor note on Isa's 'NTR' route, NOT asking for huge NTR debate but isnt NTR Your partner getting taken from You? Wouldn't it be better described as reverse NTR or just plain cheating? After all You're 'stealing' another mans woman, I dont see how that's NTR unless theres someone gonna try and take my Luna/Gracie away, which just isn't happening >;D.
if its future content or spoiler material obviously no worries but NTR probably turns more ppl off than on (dont shit bricks people it's just my personal opinion) & I'd hate to see this game get any less attention than it deserves !

Please for the love of Christ call it Netori and not shorten it to NTR.

But that's 100% more typing, besides I can spell ntr by memory =P .... seriously tho I'll admit due to my dislike I'm probably quite ignorant on the topic but after googling it (even 2 different forms, ughh) unless the tag applies to content not implemented yet Isable's 'netori' isnt really netori at all is it? Also thought tags were supposed to be reflective of what's currently IN game. Not that I care what the dev calls it, I'm just curious about the accuracy of the tag also not trying to apologize to Every person I may offend, but do you have a personal issue with acronyms? If so sorry for this unknowable offence >;D

There's not NTR tag here. If you're asking why not, it's because it's better handled by our cheating tag.

My bad, that was Derp of me, meant the label for Isable's event in event tab but it's seriously not a thing I was just curious, Ty

Boring game, no sex. And I totally, definitely didn't cry when I read Luna's storyline.

Fine,you have told us all your opinion. Then you can just walk away, and dont bother here anymore

 

[spooge_nugget]

Apparently you have not bothered use the search function or spend some time reading through some of the pages

Funny enough, I did read through a couple of pages, but obviously didn't see anything related to what I said and I'm not going to read through the whole thread. Also, what exactly would I have searched for? I also read the change-log, which doesn't give any real indication on how much new content there is. As it so happens, that is a question I asked specifically in my post, but I notice that you didn't answer it even though you decided to respond to that very post. I'm fairly sure that it's a lot easier to read a single post (especially one that you decided to reply to) than multiple pages of them or even search for certain vague things. So, is it that you didn't bother to read it all or was it just that you wanted to get on your high horse and maybe get a few likes?

Next update will probably not take as long.

The word 'probably' in that sentence isn't reassuring at all (hopefully the dev didn't use that word).

Everyone else who complained too much was roasted like meat on an open fire.

Fanboyism generally works that way (i.e. illogically).

Your suggestions had been made and received like a couple of dozens times already. If you'd bothered to search or read, you'd know that.

A good suggestion is good no matter how many times it's made and it's also more likely to be taken on board/paid attention to if more people share the same thought.

Well that was fun.
Now, can anyone tell me how much content there actually is in this update?

hey guys so im stuck at the quest a bottle for a bottle at req i have story 3 the punishment but i already completed story 3
what do i need to do to advance ?

 

[JapanFreak]

Fine,you have told us all your opinion. Then you can just walk away, and dont bother here anymore

while i don't think this is a boring game i agree that a bit more nudity would help

"Next update will probably not take as long."

If I'd "bothered to search or read"? Have you seen how many pages there are? I'm not going to waste my time reading through the whole thread and what exactly would I search for?

*facepalm* *sigh*

I apologize for assuming you could actually use the search function after suggesting you do that. It comes so naturally for so many of us what to search for when we know what we want to know. In your case, you wanted to know these things:

1. why the game took so long? will every update take that long and have only as much content?

2. what's new in this update?

So a simple search with the key word "update" should return you with plenty of information simply by glancing at the result. Then a search with the keyword "update" specifying posts by HopesGaming, which is the username of the dev should narrow it down even more to important posts about updates. Or a search specifying posts by HopesGaming without any keyword will give you a general idea about what's been going on since he's very active and friendly toward the fanbase. I just did just those simple searches, and all the important and core information, and pretty much everything you asked for are in the results.

As for your question about what's in this update. I did see it. I chose not to answer because, as stated above, the answers are pretty clear in the search results, as well as the fact that your question is so vague that a short answer will unlikely satisfy you while a long one will take forever to write, not to mention spoil everything. The changelog is probably the best answer anyone can give, and you've already made it clear you're dissatisfied with that.

P.S.: Funny you should say I should get off my high horse, because my attitude is usually a mirror reflection of the attitude gave off by the post I'm replying to. So I seem extremely friendly to some, while to some others...

I shouldn't really need to be searching through a thread for information that should essentially be in the first post in the change-log. More detailed information on the update really should be within the change-log, as "6 new Isabel events (varies in length)" could literally mean anything. I'm sure you've also seen what some devs try to pass off as an update (far too few have decent sized updates and some are just pitiful).

The reason I didn't use the search was that I honestly couldn't think about what to search for. The difference between us is that you seem to have been following developments (at least to an certain extent), so you have more of an idea as to what has actually been discussed and as such, what to actually search for. There are always going to be repeat questions and statements in threads (that will never change) and the best thing to do is just answer or direct to a post that gives the answer (it's slightly different when the question is literally answered on the same page and sometimes just one or two posts above).

The frequency of updates going forward is also important, as if it is to take a few months per update, then it may not be worth me playing each update and instead better to wait for a few to pile up or for the finished product and start a fresh play-through at that point so that the full story is fresh in my mind at that time (I'm one of those people that read every word and don't just skip to "fun" parts).

You choosing not to answer that question just goes to show what your intention was with your reply to my post. I don't really see how the question was vague. If you've played through the new content, then you should have a rough idea of how long it took you to get through it, which would be a good gauge as to how much content there is in the update (it doesn't need to be accurate to the second or even minute, just a ballpark figure).

It's probably best if we both take a step down, as I think we were both probably a bit over the top with our replies.
