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

[iiRise]

Is there a problem with this Update that means i need to start a new game, no matter what i do i cant seem to get any of the Isabel Content to progress, i think the last thing i managed to do is the Wine event it says its unlocked in the Gallery however in the Journal it says im yet to complete it, does this mean i need to start a new game?

I'm hoping for more Cordia she's the only DeLuca we haven't had much of I'd imagine Wilf will play a big part if she is to get more content.

Oh Wilfred is literally asking for MC's help to show Cordia the light at the end of the tunnel. It's coming. There's even a placeholder in the gallery for her now. I cannot wait!

 

[MaxMiller]

Anything on Cordia and MC in this update?

 

[Hysni]

I must admit - I've never understood this argument.

Yes, they are allowed to their opinions. But I never understood the idea that we have "to listen to or ignore it". Why are people not allowed to have their opinions against the complainers opinions? Even the complainers gets confused when I answer them back. Going all "Nani?! You questioning my complains and cries? Let me bring up my rights!"
Acting like I told them that they aren't allowed to say what they just said...

Remember, there is a difference saying "You're NOT allowed to say what you're saying" or simply saying "you SHOULD not say what you saying (because it's stupid)".
These two are simplifications and who is right and wrong is irrelevant.
Both are opinions. Both are allowed. One is way stupider than the other, imo. But alas, both are allowed. (regarding complainers vs people addressing complainers, not the above example)

Hey Dev Can you Help Isabel event ?? Already Drinked wine and Kissed but after that--evening cant talk for next event ? can you help ..is there any bugfix for this

Please try to be more specific but I think you need to talk to her in her bedroom while she is reading on the bed ( Noon or afternoon I think? )
Talk about what happened.

Cordia is greyed out due to no events in her Gallery. Can you upload your save where the content restart all over again? Thanks

Yeah, I guess I was sort of expecting that event where MC sneaks into her office (to find his contract), and Cordia catches him in her nightgown, but looking back, that was definitely part of "story" and not "free-roam."
Seeing her section (as placeholder) there still has me hyped for her future lewd/free-roam content though (especially with Wilfred hinting at it in this update).

I uploaded the save which stops at the final scene of the "Portend" event. As you'll find out, as soon as that event finishes, instead of the interface of MC's room (with option to sleep, use laptop, sneak a peak in bathroom etc), it jumps straight into Isabel's "Fly White Bird, Fly" event again.

So glad I stumbled on to this game. So much hotter snaking some guys wife out from under him than fucking my sister.
Isabel is the bomb.

Sorry but you guys asking for saves to a game that is almost linear is beyond my understanding.

Not really,some might not wanna replay the game again..Especially since the saves will be broken by the next update(If Hopes decides to add the gameplay changes,it'll be broken)

Sorry but you guys asking for saves to a game that is almost linear is beyond my understanding.

I would understand that if it weren't for the free roaming part and mission. Getting the money, waiting, bla bla bla. Specially now that 0.7 will require a new save, to do all again just to have to do it again can be annoying.

 

[Irgendwie Irgendwo]

Im not your son or your dog, donno if that was a weird insult in latin or another user that named him self wrongly by trying to name himself "the son of a dog" in latin?

Well, think for a minute what a female dog is also called?

Okay, downloaded and played the newest update, came across Filius and Prudens, was sure that this must be referring to some comment section, checked the reviews, and found the perfect fit they talk about. Only it must have been from after the dialogue was written. Are the devs some kind of prescient? What are the lottery numbers from next week?

 

[dghunk]

Awesome game, just wish the updateds where bigger, I really want to see the story how it will go down but at this pace I will be dead before it ends

After my old lappy died after playing 0.06 I probably wouldn't have picked on on DeLuca Family without a save - due to the time taken to cover the main story, individual stories and missions to increase money/ranking, etc. There's a few hours in it at least and I had quite a few more games to pick up again - even with skipping unseen text.

If 0.07 does need a new save (?) and stats/completion status etc can't be carried over or entered I'll likely abandon it again - no matter how good it is.

Is that a threat? Damn, I won't be able to sleep tonight.

Guys, you know when you're following a game during development, that this is bound to happen? That with the expansion of the scope you'll have to restart because saves don't carry the data needed for new stuff? If you cannot stomach this, and I mean I get that it can be annoying and makes you push it further down the line, I suggest not playing games in development at all.

 

[Mikey Mike]

How many more updates till the MC gets an actual HJ or better from somebody with 2 X chromosomes?

 

[JJJ84]

So this "update" was mostly the dev bashing people who dared been critical?

Hahahahahah..

From what I know of Hopes, if what is being said about the game is constructive criticism, he has no problems with them, listens (I haven't seen a situation where he doesn't), and takes them to heart.

But those people are not the ones he is referring to with the Filius Canis scene.
From my understanding, it is basically meant to poke a bit of fun at people who were giving him unreasonable criticism (almost always based on severe bias they themselves have) or unreasonable demands (lol) towards him while being disrespectful.

To be honest, I found that scene to be quite funny. And even if one doesn't find it funny, well noone has any reason to feel offended or get mad seeing it (unless they acted pretty much like Filius does in that scene lol).

soo... two years in the making and still... was going to say blue balls, but thing is, this shit donst even give u a boner... cool dou, good characters, that Luna and Glacier were good, i little bit mess up the last one, is she supposed to be some kind of psycho or a sociopath? or is she just... dumb? good shit, i for once enjoy it... some of it...didnt like the "no sex" part, since this is a porn game, or suppose to be one, i mean u can literally just rate this 14 no big deal, what would be the big problem? one of the girl showing part of her "bosom"? gonna put this in the list of "re visit in another 2 years" worth checking and playing again.

Yeah, I don't get some people saying stuff like "if I need to start from beginning, I'm abandoning the game."

I mean yes, I admit, losing progress is not a pleasant experience (since I generally like to jump in where I left off previously, no way to sugarcoat it no matter how much I want to), but as you've said, it's basically "a necessary evil" for all games in development (unless we're not getting the new gameplay mechanic implemented from 0.7).

I think this may be (I say "may" because Hopes is still testing out the gameplay mechanic to find out whether it can be implemented or not) 3rd or 4th game from f95zone where I am forced to start from the beginning again (with the incompatible save issue with the changes made in the game), so perhaps I'm a bit more immune to the situation than some of the others. But still, .....if people really can't stomach this, they'll need to "abandon" not just this, but many good or potentially good game down the line, or basically wait for a long time for them to finish.

I mean this game is the best game I've ever played and I'm just going to support his Patreon account.
one thing though is how often will we see updates of this game.
thanks
