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

[Hesteros]

5 of the 6 updates were made for more than 6 months. what do you say, blindness, masturbation, a dog died, snipers in Afghanistan hit the monitor, an alien started cloning earth technologies, children went to kindergarten ? what distinguishes this topic from others is that it is the most naive, funny and senile community. the thread can continue indefinitely, because the level of intellectual discourse of the interlocutors: "well, he had problems, well, he notified about them." he always had them, and always will. but you golden boys, send more stamps to denmark from your wallet.

Impressive how so many words were uttered yet contain minimal content.

Ok, so a obvious troll, on ignore you go....

lmao great minds think alike!

Simple fact is:

1. Hope is not a full time dev, he does it as a hobby. So RL have an impact on the amount of free time he has available. Even more than a full time dev. Also he is only one person
2. Development was never "fast" 3 months top, mostly around 4 months prior to the overhaul
3. He always was clear with and never hide anything about development (or lack of it). Also he doesn't use excuse yet.
4. Patreon or any other crowdfunding platfrom aren't shops and stores. You don't buy a product, you invest in a development.
5. He doesn't earn that much according to his own words, around what is average in his country.
6. The game is free here. So you don't even have to "lose" money.
7. Complain won't change a thing, simple as it is.

Come to your own conclusion about this. But don't bother us with some facts of yours. We know them and came to our own conclusion. So simple as is, if you don't have other facts for us to consider, then I assume most of us won't change their mind about this.

another proof that many here have a double-digit iq. Indeed, I have said what I think. if there are still people here who are able to compare time periods and observe reality, then they will donate time/money to other promising developers.

At least you proven your own intellect her.

As usual my golden friend you put it much more forum friendly than me

First, you are stating as a fact that hopes does not even try to make it "better, faster and more attractive" (I am actually not sure which noun "it" represents to complement the adjectives, but will assume that it is meant to be the general experience), you are stating as a fact that Hopes is procrastinating. Do you have any proof that this is the case or this this just what you get from it? Because without proof your whole logic following from these assumptions falls apart.

And yes, we've all seem our share of "real life affecting schedules" on here, whether they were really happening or just excuses made up. However, one should not forget that a part time dev is affected more heavily by anything because as already shown earlier in the thread even the most productive part timer will at best get in half of the work compared to even the most 9 to 5 mindset professional. So any hour missing for whatever reason has double the impact, if not more - the latter since a professional can way more easily switch his schedule around if e. g. some power outage happens.

But none of this really matters: people have been told the rules under which this game is developed. Some don't like the rules, others don't mind them and still enjoy what they're getting. Both perfectly fine. But the order is "Hopes defines the rules, players decide if they want to play along." Players don't have any right to demand a rule change, they can of course always start playing (supporting). And unhappy people cannot and should not demand from happy people that they become unhappy, too.

There's no problem at all and you're not wrong if you don't think the waiting times are worth it. But please don't try to tell others what to do with their time and money.

Someone asked about Floaty about 5 pages ago, and they got an answer with the image of the poker game but they did not get his first appearance. You can find that in this development update. Hopes clearly states that there are 18 characters in that image. 17 humans and Floaty.

The 1st reply in the following post showed him in his full glory lol

watch it now......

I don't understand the "blue-balled" complaint.
It's like getting a fishing game, then complaining that it doesn't have zombies?

Play this one for the story, play WVM or other harem game for the fuck-fest.

Well, if playing "The DeLuca Family" is your only way to release pressure and at the same time that is the only thing you need in life, it makes sense.

I'm not sure that's even possible, never mind plausible?
Ah, I see. This cannot happen, ergo it cannot make sense.

Simp....no? Too soon? I apologise then.

Does any of you guys know if something at the main story will change? I know that the missions will change but I don't know if something will be add to the main events. A new start will be required right? I would go back and read but unfortunately this thread become a little madness. Thank you in advance.

Definitely requires a new start, by all accounts.
Main story doesn't change, just contracts and, I believe, some aspects of the contracts will change combat aspect in game

Fifth law of thermodynamics: people will always complain.

Yes. It's amazing to see how quickly they find a new reason to cry, when their original one is gone.
-Waaah, where's the update?
-Waaah, where's the update?
ad infinitum
-Coming at end of month.
-Wah? Ummm, wait...
-Waaah, why so much story and not enough sex?

The ever moving goalposts of complaint

African children are dying of thirst, and his dollars may not have gone to his stomach, but to feed an entire settlement of thousands, but he still accepts donations for his long-running hobby project when he has a major job.

Exactly! People here are too under Hopes' evil spell. They cant be saved!!! So stop wasting effort here when you could be working saving African children and other poor souls ! Tick tock, superman. You are running out of time!

Because of the version wont support older versions save files, you must restart the game. In the new version "Eizas sister" mission will be added and contract system will be overhauled as far as I remember. Existing missions wont change.

 

[Cartageno]

But normal developers,

Whatever "normal" shall mean here. Others do that, yeah. Again others don't. Some developers of games here are pros, some are not.

Again: the rules for this VN are laid out. He will do this alone, he will take his time. You don't have to like it, but then just ignore the game instead of telling people who do like it they are somehow blue-balled, when all evidence points more towards you suffering from said condition because it makes you antsy.

Why should a dude who works as a miner and earns pennies have to suffer while a lazy dude with a high-paying hobby does nothing. African children are dying of thirst, and his dollars may not have gone to his stomach, but to feed an entire settlement of thousands, but he still accepts donations for his long-running hobby project when he has a major job. Work hard, man, but if you're making a slow melodrama for yourself, then do it for free, because you don't have a release schedule and deadlines, and you don't have a conscience. When the "wanker of history" donates 5 bucks to this shit, then he must have nightmares about a Palestinian who could get a bowl of rice, but in the end is forced to die, because the children "burn the funds" for the hobby of an overage lazy person..

(Skipped the "mediocre" part, that's just an opinion on which I happen to disagree with)

This is so extremely silly, but still: nobody is forced to do anything. Nobody is stopped from paying money to a charity by having the choice to support some creative process. And you have no idea of knowing how many of us do spend how much on such stuff. Those who don't would most likely neither do it if they weren't spending their money on this game. And the assumption that Hopes is "doing nothing" is also unproven - you don't seeing anything isn't proof. Your SJW approach completely fails. You actually made me use that term in earnest for the first time, I usually think it is thrown around lightly, but you are not even a SJW, just pretend to be one because somehow you personally want something you do not get. In this aspect, the one "making a slow melodrama for" themselves is you. Because I don't see Hopes talking about children in Africa starving or similar in a completely unrelated topic.

 

[whichone]

What is fair, please be realistic?

This.
I remember being a child and proclaiming "It's not fair!"
My Mother taught me, at a very young age, "Life is not fair, get used to it."

The irony/hypocrisy of the thief complaining that the manufacturer doesn't make a new product for them to steal, quickly enough, is beyond laughable.

 

[HopesGaming]

Just ignore the dude.
My conscience is clear. Frontpage is stated that this is a hobby and can take a very long time. The game is free so people do not have to pledge and any support can be removed any time people want.

He is just venting because he hates the fact that my non-porn game is able to get support.

lol it's just an unfathomable way to spend their life.
I hate this.
I enjoy this.
Let's focus on the thing I hate. Yeah, that's healthy.

This game is so good Hopes has a psychotic stalker. That's how you know you've done something great.
