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

[Malicre]

Will this be a harem or a single route game by the time its all said and done? When i was playing it i kept getting the feeling that there was no way in hell this could end with a single route as there were too many variables for that to happen, Like we know Cordia/William know about him and the girls/isabela and they approve to an extent but thinking about it further there's literally no way he could just end up with 1 person if it wasn't Luna, i think she would literally lose her shit and what about Cordia? Is she getting a route or no? She has a dream sequence but does that actually mean she will get a route, also there's no harems in this world that we know of right?

I kinda feel like this is only going to end when the MC takes over the family and gets together with all 4 (Luna, Gracie, Isabela, Cordia) but i know thats just wishful thinking on my part and more then likely NOT going to happen.

Have the developers commented at all at how they believe the relationship/ending will be handled? I noticed that there was no harem tag so i'm assuming that it is indeed going down the route path which also makes me curious to see how its going to be handled.

Sorry for the long rant, this game was amazing and it just had me thinking about a lot of things that could or should happen.

If I am dev I won't say anything about route or ending before it's really going to end
Can't take the risk of losing or disappointing part of my fans while satisfying the others

And if you say now it has route a in it and later you see that this route don't make any sense anymore than even more are pissed at you.

Yeah but thats the thing, i can't really see this game having a non harem route, especially after hearing william talk about how they know what hes been doing with the girls and how hes made them better people. I don't see this ending in a non harem way unless he sacrifices himself for the family or something like that.

Having a harem route would be nice, I love harem games. But I think that is not the way Hopes wants the game to go. Either way I'm fine with it.

I read in a previous post (now I can not find it) that the next version will not be compatible with the current ones and therefore the saved games will not be valid and we will have to start the game again. Can you confirm it for me? Thank you.

If your right it would have to be a luna ending right? No other single route really makes since.

I think it would probably have diferent endings. Right now you have the choice to not pursue Isabel as a love interest, that alone is enough for having at least 2 endings.

That is absolutely not true. If Gracie says she is in love with MC, Luna would totally drop MC, for example.

My feelings were our story will end in tragedy. But it could be just me being me.

I havent played in a couple weeks but wasn't Isabel's route required for the final main chapter? If not then that makes sense.

 

[Badjourasmix]

I hope it doesn't end in tragedy, some of the characters have really messed up pasts, it would kinda suck if they didn't have a happy ending.

I mean it wouldn't make sense to have that choice if you couldn't progress with the game. There are scenes you probably won't get if you don't choose to pursue her. But it's not game over.

I kinda see it going down 2 ways, MC dies for the family after teaching them to be a real family again or MC becomes the new head of the family and ending up with all the ladies but the last 1 is more of wish fulfillment then anything lol.

Its an interesting discussion, this is one of the few games that i have played were i have no clue how it will end, it feels like we have a LOT more to go before we get to that point.

I mean, what you say is true. But it is also true that the regular formula for making a nice tragedy is precisely to make you care about the characters. Who cares about a painful path if you hate their guts?

Again, I am almost convinced that the tragedy feelings I am getting is just regular psychopath me. But all elements are there.

Well I hope you're wrong.

Maybe thats the problem, i need to go back and playthrough the game rejecting 2/3 of the girls and see how the single route works out.

"Hating their guts" can still work. Some of the most cared about characters are hated. What's killing a character is indifference.

Not for tragedy. If you hate a character, it is very hard to feel empathy when they suffer.

I do agree that indifference is harder to work with.

In Fallout 4 there is an NPC named Tina De Luca. I renamed her to Luna De Luca . I was thinking about trying to remake her face to look like Luna too but I'm not much of an artist so don't know how well that will turn out.

Just never give her ice cream.
As it goes: I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.
