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

[HopesGaming]

I'm not big into management of resources in games, that's why I selected the second option when I started a fresh game.

Only I'm unable to access the shop so that I can equip a gun, in order to complete the last couple of main tasks.

So, I was wopndering if anyone has been able to do so.

Found one bug. I failed my first time out on the Snooping Bonans, and it is not recorded in Character sheet. Not sure if I like the way the contracts are done now, mostly the slow text...

Lets say text based games had thier peak in the 80's, then belong there - and should be left there ...

I don't want to say you are wrong buuuuuuut.....

Text based games are some of the biggest money makers netting Fenexo 30k+ a month for stuff like Trials in Tainted Space, Corruption of Champions and Savin makes several grand on Corruption of Champions 2.

Lillith's Throne is making absolute bank.

Not to mention the masses of text based games that pop up monthly that seem to get players instantly.

So you are kinda wrong...

Edit- I say kinda wrong cos you aren't wrong completely, they are nowhere near as popular as they were back before my time.

They do have an audience though but so does everything if done right. Is all I was trying to say.

I am very open to feedback on the new gameplay part.
Going to be interesting on how many likes it and how many dislikes it.

I hate to be the guy but i have to say that the time used for the contracts would be better used anywhere else. Somehow I am not (yet) sure whether the cost/benefit factor is justified.

After the Xth run on nimble fingers(?) i have all gotten that was described in the mission overview. A cool thing was the old man in the contract that was providing about the family of the MC e.g. MC's father. comes this later in play?

Nevertheless, I will look at all the contracts and play through them, if only to unlock the renders I mentioned. In the first contract, renders were 3(?) unlockable, right?

Text used to be the standard for porn games. I remember when most of them were made in AIF or Rags and you had to forego your life to try playing one of them. There is a reason the genre exploded with Renpy and Unity.

The fact a dev rebooted their perfectly working and relatively succesful game in order to include something like that would be pure paranoia. If I wasn't already used to seeing all kinds of reasons one could think for weg devs to rework their game that is...

It's possible to have a win 7 friendly version?

I had never claimed to be right or to keep it. I can only speak from my own experience that I was glad when the text-based games were gradually replaced. I am absolutely aware that I cannot judge objectively about these kind of games - let's just call it childhood trauma.

Not to forget: the TADS player

I remember the school dreams 1-3 and all the other games from goblinboy, hell his games are totally bonkers, even now i take look into his gems.

Sorry to say mate, but I intensely dislike it.
Stopped playing as contracts just feel so cumbersome and time consuming, yet unsatisfying & unrewarding.
I didn't enjoy these dungeon explorers when they were written in BASIC in the 80's.
Seeing it become a major aspect of this game is massively "meh", to me.

 

[arms99]

OMG, I see the "vaginal sex" tag, did someone finally have the birds and the bees talk with the MC?

 

[Faucheuse]

Finally after a year of waiting, I'm excited.

Just posting to give my perspective and possibly the perspective of similar players.

I subbed to patreon to play early, and while I liked the new content with the new scenes, I played story mode and didn't touch the contracts (nor do I plan on doing so, but I'm sure they're entertaining to other players).

I was mostly

but I was disappointed that was missing. To elaborate my point, there exists players such as myself who don't play the full game with the contracts so I request that more time is spent on story rather than those aspects of the game.

Onto a question of mine:

I love the new contract system, a unique item and a unique render for nearly all contracts is great. I completed all contracts with different outcomes before starting to game. Steadfast guy -and his words of course- was really suprising though, are there more of these suprises? Story of contracts are decent, really good work. But I have encountered 3 errors;

1- I cant get the vine scene with Isabelle, it dont prevent to continue though. I ignored error messages and passed that event in black screen.
2- During "The Bonanza Meeting contract" directions (which not shown in the mini-map) appears and if accidentally click one them, game crashes.
3- In gallery I can reach to special renders but can not reach to "replay room"

I aint strong enough to go through Luna story again. I may need liquid courage.

Hey HopesGaming I have a question. If we decide to play the game at VN mode or freeroam mode instead of full experience will we miss out on those special events or renders from the game?

Freeroam is not available, only VN.
Unsure about the renders, but just FYI.

Right now there are no consequences with going with both. That may change down the line tho. No worries, I make a way so you won't be locked out or forced to a path.

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback.

All those 3 things have been fixed in 0.07.1

There are some special renders that are given out and some renders specific to contracts, those will be missed.
But nothing major. I may make it be so you get all the renders with no gameplay option later tho.

Oh, my. I didn't even notice it up there until you said something. Guess my choice has been made and I'll be playing it tonight at some point. Was trying to wait, especially since I see bug complaints, but no more of that it would seem.

Quick one for you, the ghost of Wilfred appears in the dungeon and you get the dialogue options to go to "Work", despite already being on a contract.
Also, I rejected a contract yet, when leaving Wilfred at Cordia's door, it began, regardless.
