I feel I need to make a statement on this.
I am not here to please any 'camps' (the porn only fans vs the story only fans). I know I have been hitting hard on the people that demand sex and therefore it can seem like I have something against any sexual content and in the 'camp'. That is far from the truth.
Once I slowly start getting into that territory then there will be a lot of it. But I just do it whenever I want to do it and not using a special template of 'when should it happen'.
This is not me want to please one side. This is me keeping true to my own style of doing things.

I need to make it really clear - I have nothing against the heavy porn lovers out there. Hell, there are games I enjoy that are 99% porn and 1% story. Everything depends on the mood of the day.
What my fight is, and has always been, is against the people that think they can demand anything from me.
If they demand porn, bugger off. If they demand story only, bugger off as well. Don't tell me what I can and cannot do.

The (lovely) Filius Canis character is not only a parody on the porn freaks but a parody of the self-entitlement and demanding nature some people have. He can easily apply to the people that go to the NTR games and demand non-NTR content. The story lovers that go into heavy porn focused games and demand story.

The DeLuca Family may be a story-focused game (and the story will always be main focus). But it is not a 'story only' game nor is it a 'realistic' game either. Far from it. It is exactly what I want it to be.

My little rant is done now.
Back to work.
Love y'all.
do whatever that you like hopes. we will always support you. no matter what.

I don't have enough stealth to do the "king of the wines" quest, and I can't progress the story without it. Can someone help?
(granted, I am loading an old save)

Hello DeLucas,

Hope you liked the ending of Isabel's arc and it gave you all some ideas on what will happen in the future!
Seeing her growing in popularity was a nice change of things.

Since the release I had a couple of days off to reset the mental and then I started brainstorming and discussion about the game-play. A lot of it was cut of due to me aiming a bit too high (I am an ambitious guy, heh). What was cut was heavy rpg stuff (turn based combat) but what we got left is something that is still very huge improvement of the current gameplay.

I will upload some of the preview videos of both the cut version of the new game play and what will be staying on a later day.

Right now I am fixing the GUI for it. The code itself is done.
Goal is to finish the first contract "Nimble Finger" along with the GUI and a few other things that need to be iron out.
Then I will release the new gameplay to a couple of volunteers that are willing to create their own contracts and write some stuff for it (I will still go through it all to make sure it fits my narrative. Even if that means changing 90% of it)

The whole menu system will get an overhaul. It's a bit annoying to navigate atm.

Eiza rescue arc will be the main focus. Honestly, the only thing that held me back on her part was lack of a proper gameplay system. Now I got one and it's time to rescue her sister! Is it a rendered event + gameplay. Serpent is leader of the team.

I will start doing more update dev posts.
That is all from me for now.

Wish you all a great day and week!

-HG

on the laptop you can buy skillbooks that raises stealth, and from Wilfred you can buy gear that improves it, the mission needs atleast 50 in stealth to be completed.

Smogark is excited to see more content for the rescue arc now knowing that it's coming up. Do hope the Isabel bug where the final part of it plays randomly sometimes gets fixed.

ahh I had one helluva blast going through Luna's backstory. it ellicted actual tears from me and got all sorts of feels going. It's on par with Fruit of the Grisaia with the emotional intensity, solid writing and artwork.

Hey Hopes, so is that Luna kidnapping story made by you or it is taken from some movie scenario? Cuz that was something else and it keeps bugging me.

Others...so what are the odds that Wilfred was responsible for that kidnapping? He is weird to say the least, never liked Lunas father (also probably didnt like how blizzards queen became different after meeting/marrying that guy), maybe wanted to have a human weapon in Luna, also explains why they returned her instead of killing etc.
Made by me without any references. Just sitting down and wrote what comes to mind (while ofc thinking of the grand picture)

With that said, I am a movie, book, and whatever else medium for entertainment, lover. So when I write stuff all kinds of things no doubts affect how I create the story.

Which of course is unavoidable. Or some story some coworker told over lunch. Everybody is inspired in what they do creatively by what they have experienced, seen, heard, read, all the time. There have been quite believable cases of creators unconsciously copying parts from other works - it was somewhere in the back of their head and came up at some point in time without them realizing it's not their idea at all.

I'm really looking forward to see "Serpent" leading the team in 0.07.
He seems perfect to lead the stealth team in this mission (with himself being the Sniper taking out his opponents in silence, compared to Gottardo who I'm guessing prefers frontal assaults).
While Eiza and her sister would be the main focus, perhaps it's just me but I kinda hope that him & MC can interact a bit more as well (like we've seen in "The Proud Fazio" event).

Though I am getting a bit curious whether Luna will join the mission or not (while Luna is my favorite girl in the game, I'm leaning a bit towards probably not, since she likes to go into missions guns blazing, and tends to get bored when things don't end in a bang, but who knows I could be wrong).

Indeed, and given how it's a mission about stealth she'd be way too recognizable. Certainly, Forgettable Joey oughta be a part of the rescue mission, his stealth skills are formidable. And hell, it's a mission all about plausible deniability and I'm sure everyone in the Deluca family can plausibly deny any and all knowledge of poor forgettable Joey and his activities.
