Also, could someone update the OP with the fact that saves don't work for this version? Seems like half the posts since the update was released are about saves not working. Maybe something in huge, flashing letters will make people read it.

Fine i won't call people that like the update white knights anymore and here's some constructive criticism the new text based missions were boring since i don't like text based games and text based games are such an 80's and old school thing also i loved the event with saving eliza's sister and her event and also liked the scenes he added in the beggining but overall i felt it was a short update for 9 months now i know hopes works part time on this so if it took maximum 4 to 5 months for an update i woldn't be complaining but it took 9 months plus the fact we haven't gotten any events with luna or gracie since 0.05 and since 0.04 and i'm not asking for sex because i know it's still too early and the story comes first i just thought the update was too small for the time it took.
I'm sorry you don't like the new content and the time it took.
I can go back and forth on the whys etc but I rather just say - time will be improved and hopefully, you enjoy the next.
Has been some plans of quicker release with lower content.
And the girls are very much the focus on the next update.
The gameplay change was just a very important thing for me. But now it's done it is mostly handled by other people so time won't be going on that much now.

As long as the next update has 1 to 2 events with luna or gracie i'll be happy and i'm sure me and lot a lot of people are gonna love the next update just please hopes don't let it take 9 months or more again.

You know, I've got a little bit of a theory. Now, I'm still just past The Punishment main event, and there is a lot of stuff I'm sure I don't remember or am misremembering. With that said, however, I'm wondering if Luna and Gracie are MC's half-sisters. Or possibly even the assassin and her sister. Maybe even Isabel, though I'm not sure if she has a sister or not. I'm sure it won't be quite that simple but will have a major impact on the story, of course. I don't know, though. Just something that I've been thinking about this morning after talking with the old man in Nimble Fingers and some things that have been said here.

I was so looking forward to this update but I must say I am disappointed. The new mission system is confusing and annoying - and yes I wanted to do the full game without skipping since I liked it so much before! But now I´m not so sure anymore

A lil question, Will the Spy on the Gals in Bathroom thing only be avaible in the Full Mode anymore, because couldn´t spy on the Story/Freeroam only anymore. What with the special pictures you can get in the full mode (think Gallery pics), will they be avaible/unlocked too on the other modes.
Right now I see all of those part of the gameplay. But if enough people, that only play story, wish to have those included in the story part I can add that into story only part.

Heya,

I got the Lock glasses from the old man, but now, each time I return to find him again, he's not here anymore, just the dog.
It's not the Old man who're giving you the Hardened Gloves ?

Thank you, I have pleasure to collect these items, I'm almost at the level of an Avenger

The old man is a one-time thing. Planning to add him secret other places. But for now, he is gone.
The old man gives the lock glasses. The gloves are from the battle.

From what they said earlier, you have to get them by having a good enough score in the fight.

Hi!

Currently at the umbra mission right now and i keep failing the perception requirement, and since i have all the drops from contract except for the holy pants, i figure that i needed to get it. So, anyone knows how to get it? I keep repeating the mission but i just couldn't get it.

I wrote the answer here a few pages back.

The way I got them was set up the flag then leave and go back to the church. When you get there "explore" and when the little scene is done is when I picked them up. Worked two different times.

Phew, quite a lot to read, I shouldn't have done silly things such as sleep and work ...

I love the last version of Deluca Family, it is in my top 5 out of hundreds of games I've played here. However, I really can't stand grinding for content. In my younger days I could play classic RPGs for weeks straight, but I have a lot less patience for that now, and with VNs, content is king, really, so obscuring content behind repetitive gameplay, really takes all the enjoyment out of it as a player, for me at least.
Just to counter this point (has been made multiple times, but I can only counter one opinion and chose one constructive one) while I want some content, I also prefer some gameplay - hence why I can't stand Kinetic Novels.

So in general I like the new system, brings back fond memories of the olden times and works pretty well, it is obvious how much love and creativity has gone into it. A few kinks here and there could optimize it but with CTRL skipping a possibility a mission doesn't take too long if just repeated for some XP or similar. I do think though that the first mission should be more easing in - either slightly change it or make an eaven easier, so that you can get accustomed to walking around and exploring and testing without failing most tests. As it stands, the first experience is more likely to fail than not because players still don't know what they are doing, don't know the map, and will stumble into the wrong things. Give MC a contract with somebody experienced who will explain "recreation areas", and maybe some indication on whether or not something is likely to fail. But it is - to me - a major improvement on the one click contracts which did not have any feel about them at all.

However, I feel that in the long run this can become very grindy if we need a lot of money for stuff or a lot of experience to advance the story. If I remember how often I spent a day at Wilfred's with three "daylight" and one "nighttime" mission CTRL skipping to get the money for item X, I dread doing the same in this system a bit, although I am not advanced enough to truly judge the balancing so far.

Another aspect that I think hasn't been mentioned are the character portraits to know where to find somebody: great addition, the drawings look great, however in my opinion the comic style clashes with the general graphics and very distinguished look (especially post update) of the interface and just doesn't gel. Pics from renders would be more boring but IMO also less intrusive.
