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

[JJJ84]

Yes. I was a real fool. Increasing the sub-version of a game by 2 in three years is totaly fine here on F95.
Every dev is doing that...

Not sure what the point is you're trying to make, but I'd rather have devs producing quality story and the best possible content they can provide rather than them being rushed into the update because some small subset of the people are throwing a temper tantrum.

As for difference between 0.04 to 0.06, well I don't keep track of when 0.04 actually released, but why don't you actually play through the whole thing before actually complaining about it here? Yes, the change in number is 0.02, but even so, there is a lot of content and events that happen between them (in both quantitative and qualitative terms).

All I see is you basically judging the game from very skewed point of view (since you haven't even played up till the latest content), comparing this with some other games on this site where quality is nowhere near to this.

And to add, the current upcoming update is taking longer because Hopes has basically given the "Contracts" system an overhaul (which is not a small thing).

If you dislike a game being on F95 make a ticket and hope they remove the game so you can sleep better at night. Hell, go to the general discussion forum and talk about how you dislike hobby games that are free takes too long to be made.
No one here cares.

I "dislike"? I just asked a normal question. But you and your fans instantly going like: "Look what an idiot. Asking a question in a forum thats made for this! Haha.."

A simple "No it is not abandoned" would have been enough. And now you start to make up stories about me, dislikeing anything. You are a very professional Game Developer!

Id rather like to ask before downloading a game, unpack it and play several hours just to realize that it might not have changed yet.

At first, I couldn't have known that I found the only dev on F95 who is not updating his product once evey 3 month for a few bugfixes, 3 new renders and some lines of text.

And second, I couldn't have known, that this dev has gathered an aggressive crowd in his forum-thread that tries to bite everyone away for asking a simple question.

If that is all you see, then look again. Because where you and obviously the other fanboys here see a "complain" there is none. There is a simple question.
"Is the game abandoned". To answer this you could have used the words "yes" or "no".


No need to make up stories.

Yes, because your comment that I replied to was totally not passive aggressive and sarcastic.
I just answered with the same manner and said "if" you disliked it.

And I've never claimed I'm a profesional developer. I'm a random ass dude making a hobby project and sharing it freely to people. Im also a member of the forum. Making games doesn't change that.

Two members of this thread tell you "no, isnt abandoned". Hell, you even can read the two or three pages before you post something. And you insisted with your "its common hurr durr" and complaining about how much time takes. What do you expect? some nice reply?

All he had to do was scroll up a bit (the same answer by another forum member Cartageno, was literally on THE SAME PAGE as his "question") lol.
I guess some people expect to be fed like a child even if there's a spoon right in front of them.

And to also throw a passive-aggressive temper tantrum like a child when people didn't spoon feed him the info.

Yes, I saw your answer.
And because you already had answered I was wondering even more, why JJJ84 began to flame me.

lol

People jumping to "oh, is it abandoned?" conclusion (because the update is taking a bit longer than before) obviously don't know what the term means in this site.
It couldn't be further from the truth (in DeLuca's case).

Because the topic was already solved for me.

Again.. made up stories? Now I am hope to be fed like a child?

Thinking about this gorgeous character once more.

View attachment 1016093

At first I thought she might be a Contracts exclusive character, or a possible new LI for MC, but thinking about it once more, I could be wrong but my speculation is, what if she is Cynthia, one of the current 4 Serpents?

I dont remember now the name, but i think she possible being the sister of MC supposed assasin, the girl with red hair, The Carnefice family girl. The outfit seems very similar, also the hair.

 

[c3p0]

Next update will be 2022.
Whatcha gonna do about it?

I was going to complain the local cosa nostra. Does this help?

That's Eiza (Carnefice assassins Family girl who tried to kill the MC). Hopes said that the character that I was referring to is the Contracts character through, here is his reply:

Can say it's not Cynthia.
She is actually optional to meet (this pic) and is during a special made contract.
However, she will play a big role in the story and especially in Mc's story. That's the plan.

There is also a preview pic with MC holding the hand of Eiza's sister (who looks to be a kid), standing beside Caterina and one of the nuns (both Capos).

But it's always fun to speculate with this game.

Can I see the manager?!?!?!

 

[Matt2012021]

have a bad feeling whenever the update does come out it will fall short with such a long wait hope i am wrong

Snitches get stiches.

 

[rainyd]

and the 2021 update will be in march

If I remember correctly, HopesGaming mentioned release of a new version as end of January - March would be disappointing for sure.

 

[rainyd]

Well, its Feb on Planet Earth right now

I know that Captain Obvious, looks like there's some delay.

 

[-L-L-MJ-]

If I remember correctly, HopesGaming mentioned release of a new version as end of January - March would be disappointing for sure.

From the patreon update before the latest one;

January is the planned month for the release. It will be at the late end of the month.

Emphasis on "Planned"
And then from the latest patreon update;

Hey DeLucas,

hope y'all got a good start in the new year.
The process of the game;

Renders done, animations done, story done.
Right now I am working with the new gameplay contracts with the guys.
So, it's polish time and then send it out!

The animations is the longest animations I've done and the last one most juicy one. Took me over 60 hours of render time. I hope it be liked!

Short update post but just wanted to let you all know the process.

-HG

Just to put things into perspective.

I don't know much about coding, but from what I've seen this is a pretty atypical VN with the rework of the contracts and the gameplay that comes with the talked about bonusses etc. I imagine it's a lot of work and I am really hyped to play around with it
and have a continuation of a immersive story definitely can('t) wait to play again.

Next update will be 2022.
Whatcha gonna do about it?

I have Hope!

 

[I'm Not Thea Lundgren!]
