To be honest, I don't think you were bullying at all, so I don't think an apology was necessary. And like Hopes says in his reply, it really feels like he pressed ctrl for fast skip towards the lewds or oral sex scene.

I agree with JJJ
I would never condone bullying or attacking people. (Unless it's a extreme Filius guy ((Joking!))
BUT like I said.
Why should one part be allowed to share their opinion(s) while the other part is not allowed to share their opinion without it being called bullying?
A review is not some kind of holy entity which is written by God. You can voice your own opinion against peoples opinions (reviews). The reviewer can ignore it if he or she wants to.
As long as people do not break the forum rules then I don't see any problems with it.

What Mr PhoenixRage and others like him want is simply "Plug a Hole" game with harem
like 100+ Games all over this site and Patreon..
Mr Phoneix you are entitled to your opinion and tastes but please if something doesn't appeal
to you it doesn't mean it is not good or even excellent to other people.
The reason majority of us LOVE HopesGaming and PhillyGames is precisely that THEY ARE NOT
hardcore porn games with just some text thrown around to fill gaps between action..
While I believe that this is a subjective experience and that many things that are erotic to some may be lewd or crass for others, I think the difference between what is erotic versus what is pornographic begins with our initial neuro-association with each term.
When most people think of "erotic" it elicits sensuality, essentially being tantalized and teased by whatever the art form is, whether prose (Like The DeLuca Family) , or whatever stimuli is evoking a response or provoking the senses. It is typically suggestive and not overt, leaving much to the participants' imagination, and as such, leading to the continuity of pleasure, lust, and desire.
That is why we LOVE this game. It is actually very simple.

Soooo...
finally through with the DeLuca Family.
And i can only compliment you HopesGaming
Well written, a unique take on the AVN perspective and very diverse and enjoyable characters.
I really like that you don't scuttled away from using hard stuff when telling the tale, the best example by far, Lunas Story, to deepen the darkness of the Mafiaworld.
Luna is well crafted. Comes of at first as a pure nutjob but what lies underneath... loved it. You really managed it for me to bring out a broken Girl, that is a perfect mixture of the little crying girl, from when her childhood ended and the growing young adult trying to find her place in a horrible world.
The very special scene at the End with her nailed it for me. I bet you know which one I mean. In "My Name is Luna".
Besides all Darkness, you didn't forget to sprinkle some humor on the mixture. I love the dryness of the "Uncle". Loved the old man right from the start.
"But then it got to me, I don't know anything about cars so why should I even bother looking."
Wonderful.
As for Gracie... She is interesting too, but sadly pales against Luna. I like the rather straightminded genius approach on her. And the way to get closer to her made me laugh more than once. But still... Lunas Background is a lot more captivating so far.
As Suggestions for improvement I really missed a better hintsystem. It got a bit stressful with the eavesdroprecorders for example, as it states "wait a few days" but not how many. So I started just hitting the hay for a whole week and tried again
Additionally, the Contractinterface feels a bit clunky. Too many steps to feel comfortable and after a done contract you need to click "back" kind of 4 times. Maybe I missed the oneclick close the contractmenu button somewhere? Overlooked it? If not, I'd love to get one for speeding up earning money etc.
Last but not least: Not a point of improvement, but I need this Room to visit Cordia... She is the one woman in this house that got me right from the very start. That silent attitude, the way she handles situations, everything. I'd love to even get a way to start romancing her, which, imho, is kind of pointed at from you within the game, but we don't get closer to her as she is not reachable behind Uncle gramps.
5/5 for me despite minor annoyances. I really enjoyed your game. Pls keep up the wonderful work!

Thanks for sharing a small but decent update including flashbacks that made me lol! Especially about Wilfred's dedicated babysitting behind this phenomenal mustache hehe. I wonder when he started shaving... right after this happening?
HopesGaming :: great storytelling + proofreading once again. Just tripped over 1 typo on the fly.

I once stumbled across a game, The Pinball Arcade, which promised to recreate pinball machines I knew from my youth on PC, so I was intrigued and started reading up on it on game reviewing sites and their forums. Reviews were generally good, but the forums were more divided, with some players complaining that the ratings were too high for just a pinball game where there's no shooting and teamwork and recognizable characters and stuff. So I guess that's again universal.
You can only judge a game by its merits but also only by what it wants to be. You shouldn't vote down a game tagged "furry" because the furry content makes it bad for you - you're just not the audience. Of course I am biased here because I like development over the simple action of insert rod A into slot B, move back- and forward, release. (Though that can be a good ending for development) Thus I am partial towards this game in terms of gameplay. However, as I just wrote in I think a different thread (maybe this one, forgive me for repeating) it can be a major tease if you're seeing how the game develops since you'll have to wait without being able to advance the storyline (unlike in game, where even the longest wait can be ground out).
But I think it's best to just ignore it, usually nobody's gonna change anybody's mind here. Even if it is such an obvious thing as pointing out the tags associated with a game (or not associated, as the case may be). Yes, people should judge a game by what it promises to be, not by what they think it should be. So you can talk about the story being dull or unbelievable because X (maybe mention that Lucania obviously is in the German speaking Alps region where people don't have Italian names in these numbers ). You can talk about the teasing being too drawn out or not drawn out enough. You shouldn't talk about the lack of rod A in slot B however if the tags don't mention any of it.
However, since I had a relevant experience after negatively reviewing a different game, if anybody was harrassing Phoenix or one of the other reviewers by PM, calling them names or similar, that'd be despicable.

I agree the games story is good....but to think it took 2 years to make this amount of content is crazy lol...this game should be completed or close to completion by now...i mean whats it gonna take to complete 5 years?

Hi ! Do we have a kind soul here who can share his persistent with the gallery unlocked ? Thanks ^^
This may be an extraordinary opinion,
but I think the characters' true relations with MC in this game is that:
Cordia: true mother
Luna: Older sister.
Gracie: Younger sister.
Isabel: Aunt.
Anyway, it somehow follws the pattern of mainstream incest games in terms of character archtypes.
