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

[Real Kreten]

I don't understand all the complaints about the size of the update. HopesGaming has announced from the very beginning that this is an intermediate update. I have to say that there is a lot of work to be seen in the game for the intermediate step. Implementing a gallery that will allow us to easily return to our favorite passages in the future is not something that can be done easily.
Only players who have never done anything can express themselves critically in this way. Although I don't know anything about the development of games, such "critics" can be found almost in every areas of human activity and they don't mind at all whether the work is done as part of a volunteer effort for free or a small reward.
I really enjoyed the new update. Both events were crammed with beautiful scenes and I had to laugh almost the whole time. There was so much good that I couldn't pin one scene. Many thanks HopesGaming.

Is this a adult game?

Is it an adult, technically...yes. Is it a game with real sexual content...no.

I will say it's not a bad game by any means...but I get the sense that the developer never wanted to make an adult game, but has a story he wants to tell and figures selling as an adult game to an audience that likes those games would get more eyes on it. But 2 years in development or so, and the game is still very bare of actual sexual content.

OK what am I doing wrong? I haven't played this game since December of last year, just downloaded the new update and it doesn't seem like I can do anything new? Rank 10, all missions completed?

Do I need to start over to see new content?

 

[Laehl]

It's funny that people bitch and moan at devs, especially ones that have been transparent with us, because they think they deserve something. It is not you paying them for a service, they don't owe you anything. People pay them because they like what the dev is doing, you support them with tips or donations or the like. So people need to stop being so up tight and nasty to people who are putting a lot of hard work and heart and soul into a project and be happy with what they have. And one last thing? Look at the quality of the updates so far from Hopes, that should show you a clear picture there itself.

I am a Patreon of HopesGaming and he is one of the best Devs out there.

We knew he needed to do this since it was mentioned few times in his posts, especially gallery.

Hey DeLucas,

This release is a bit out of the ordinary. Normally there is one big release and then a few smaller releases which usually are bug fixes and translations.

This time however, it is a mid sized one. Not the same as a full release but bigger than the smaller ones usually released.
The reason for this 'split' release is the planned gameplay changes for 0.07. That one will make saves not work so it would be like a fresh start. I want to end this with the conclusion of Isabel arc and some needed features such as the gallery.

Not recommended for those that want the play-through of a full ordinary release but for the DeLuca addicts out there - have fun!

I will start working on the last part (0.07) immediately and hopefully it won't be too long!

This game sounds like AWAM then

This game sounds like AWAM then

You couldn't be more wrong. AWAM is a tease. DeLuca tells a story, with bits of lewds now and then.

 

[Character]

Damn dude, 'these' people annoyed you so much you even decided to spend your time and resources to show us their true face in your own creation! Are they really worth it though? I mean, this episode is quite self-explanatory and 'this' specific character was shown ugly both on inside and on the outside, on the inside mostly by his absence of common sence and illogical, irrational thinking, so the whole scene and Gracie's thoughts afterwards are very fun and all... But I can't stop thinking that the time and efforts spent on this episode could have been spent on something else, new story event, probably? Anyway, you know that people will be people. As for the update - it is great, I am pleased that characters are not dull puppets, they act like real people, they develop, and they show us they are capable of serious, hard decisions. That is all I wanted to say for now. Peace, everybody!

[Tsunami23]

i don´t understand why people are mad about the update. Be happy that you get one and stop complaining all the time.
This is a great game and i´m happy when an update comes out.

 

[cottor]

I just simply had to make my first comment. Filius Canus... LMAO. It might be a bit beneath you to ridicule these whiners, but god damn, it's so funny I can see why you still did it. Thanks for a good laugh!

wow.. so after months of waiting.. u come up with this :
One Isabel event (conclusion and end of her current arc)
- One minor flashback event. (Wilfred's flashback)
- Added goodnight kiss for Isabel
- Added three Luna dream scenes
- Added one Isabel character info screen image

Features
- Event log merged with Journal.
- Gallery with replay of all events
- Gallery with special renders
(Kudos to Mr.Qaywesdxc)
- Couple new music tracks
- The Promotion event now require the 'The Contract' to be done first

afterall we get 1 event with isabell
1 kiss
3 dreams
and 1 info screen .....
the features i wont mention because i wont call this crap upate .

now let me ask u. are u fucking kidding us ? u get money on paetron .. so get your ass up DEV and deliver for what ppl pay u !
content and updates.and content for 3 mins.. after months of waiting is not content, thats a slap in the face of every supporter of your game.this is embarasing ......

aha yeah yeah ....
well rework ,redo redo of a redo = lazyness... its easier and much fater to "redo " stuff what is alreasdy there, instead of creating "new content" for a game......
its like u sell the same car over and over again,justz with a different color, instead of doing your job and selling a new car.
they do a redo or remake or rework because they are themself so far away and off , of the story, that even the devs dont know anymore, where to continue.and what to do next.this is pure lazyness ....

for example astaros3d .....he made girl house ...made it to release v.0.02 and did 14 updates fix bugfixes ..and did not even fixed one of the major game breaking bugs after.. he keeped this bug till version 0.016.than he renamed all, reworked all, and got the same breaking crapp in game than before...

next one leocid2 and bastard girls :
the translation team who was workjing on version 1.5b said : we got a hardware failure, we are sick, we are ill, we got trouble in RL, we had to redo all multiple times .....and so on and on and on ...but they satrted sending the eng version to all of there friends, and spreaded it , and leocid2 said that eng version is not ready... for months ....untill someone released a link on his discord channel where ppl could download the eng version....

my point is : as along as devs get money .. they dont eneed to do anything , and dont want,
the only part where they are doing something, is when they want to atract NEW and MORE paetrons. than they put some effort into there work....and this happens always at the start of a game... as soon as they reach some numbers with money.. they get lazy.....
u can check every bigger and good renpy game here. and belive me, i have and iam following almost all major renpy games here
just check how many of the games got abendonned, or reworked.....there are alsmot 5x more abendonned games, than finished games

and u expect the users here, and supporter to now cokmplain ?^^

Welcome Filius Canis, let me be your Prudens.

So, as other already have pointed out, do you support the game? If yes, why? If not, why are you complaining about this game?
And why do you think you must "warn" us supporter of this game? Do you believe we need your advice and don't have our own reason for supporting him?
For all I know to end (or begin) support someone on Patreon you can do it in five minutes. And no Gottardo, Luna, Cordia, Willfred or Joey has threaten me do so.

Also Patreon is about support a dev, not about buying a product. This isn't Kickstarter and a that is a big difference. There I contribute my money to a project/product that will be "finished/complete" after I received. Sure a lot of the project there don't make it either, but that is a different story.

But from your complains, I think the following analogy:
Someone gift you a care as he will buy a new one. You will receive it for free after he has the new one. You take it. But then you beginning to complain that this is a convertible and not a hard top, that the car is red and not yellow, that it doesn't have a top speed of 350 km/h....

So why have you accepted it at all? If it doesn't fit your whish?!
Or back to this game: Why are you playing it? Or why are you playing this version? You could also wait till the devoplment is finished and if it would get abandoned then you could skip it at all.

And so to end this with our three lovely ladies:

 

[JujuFruit]

how to take the cave at chapter 9 =))

Go forwards on Luna story

 

[JujuFruit]

How to trigger "my name is Luna"? its just dont start somehow

[Mortarion]

Have you installed some wierd mod or an outdated translation?
