[Jimayo]

HopesGaming Be nice if we could sell excess equipment. Where's the pawn shop?

Don't know what lies ahead for the new update, but as soon as MC and Dominico faced off in the introduction, man that was already *Chef's Kiss* a masterpiece. Now I am going to play the update with high expectations.
HopesGaming Thanks for the masterpiece. Definitely worth the wait. (Tho I'm still at introduction part).

How i can do about this, someone help me please

I think Hopes said before morality is what it's phrased as in game's code.
In the game itself, currently the term used is "dispassion"

So, in game
Increase in morality stat = increase in dispassion

And vice versa.

And yes as you said, definition of morality stat here is a bit counter intuitive, since it's not how normal person would see morality.

lol "Dispassion" was a bizarre choice of name.
What stat is "the absence of passion"? What does this do, make us lazy, withdrawn, or depressed?

Personally, I think "Honour" is a more appropriate term, for a mob game.
But would've been fine if it was kept as Morality, if the system worked + & - as everyone else on the planet does.
i.e. Doing moral things raises morality, doing immoral things lowers morality.
So stealing her panties & peeping at them in the shower is immoral, so should lower your Morality stat.
Nope. Opposite.

Maybe it should have just been changed to "Immorality".
Then it would make sense that the panty theft and peeping Tom stuff gets "+" points.

You have posted this same issue in Dusklight Manor, University of Problems & Undercover Love.
The fact that it is happening on 4 games, suggests that the problem lies at a local level.
Not a game problem.
Only thing I can suggest, is to download the .dll it says you're missing?
There's a Windows Update for

that should solve it.

Apparently, you probably need

, though I'd be a little cautious as it's quite old. Other than that, it's a bad idea to run an abandonded operating system.

Hope, Thanks for all the work. Looking forward to the next update. Cordia!!!!!

Replaying the game from the beginning I am again reminded that if i'm smart enough to have figured out that Gracie is a complete and total sociopath the MC should have by now too.

C'mon MC! Get with it and then learn to CONQUER her with it!

Sociopath, you say?
Never, won't hear a word of it.
I mean, just look at the angel:


Butter wouldn't melt....

Butter wouldn't melt....

Damn she is beautiful!! Looking totally irresistible (as always)! Great attire by the way!! It reminds me of that scene in the Isabel's chapter blizzard princess where she would go I will hurt you!. Made me skipped a beat as my heart was "PLEASE MARRY ME!!!"

After re playing the novel I am again in a position in which I cannot pick a favorite!

I want her to find me doing her sister, going all yandere looking like that, suddenly open a hole in wood door and with that smile yell: Here's Gracie!

Hey there mate, think there's some issue with the pills.

I gained a minimum of 8 Painkillers, from the Dog. My inventory only ever showed 1.
I gained 2 of the Energy Pills with the Chibi Isabel render.
I have never used either of these pill types.
My inventory now shows 0 for each type.

As the geriatric said to his nurse, I would like to know where my pills went?

The moral of the story is don't be a damn drug addict or you are gonna have your pills stolen

 

[Mortarion]

Was the part with Filius and Prudens really necessary? Bit immature if you ask me.

Well, I found the scene very amusing. It held up a mirror to reality here at F95 - well, what you might call reality here - in a ruthless and merciless way. I always have to think of this very scene when I'm on the move in various threads here and find exactly the kind of people here who fit in 100%. Hopes can only be congratulated for creating a scene that is both loved and hated here, depending on which type of person sees the scene.

Yes, exactly. Filius is alive and well all over. I see him in every thread of all of my favorite games here. Like most of us here, I suspect, I like story heavy VNs that have realistic and complex characters, where not everything in the game is a wish-fulfillment fantasy all the time.

Unfortunately, like in Deluca Family, if a dev steps outside of the mold of full harem, with all characters in love and drooling over the MC immediately, all virgins with no past interest in anyone else ever, and of course, the MC must be a complete asshole to all women that he meets if they show an ounce of independance or he is branded a "beta" or worse, than the "white-nights", show up to try to spoil the game for everyone else with their constant rude attacks and insult anyone who likes the game.

So many games here fit the stereotypical mold, I don't know why they don't just play those hundreds of other games, and leave the more sophisticated games to the rest of us, but I guess it is just a pathological entitlement that they have that they feel that everything in the world must conform to their personal opinions and preferences.

Why pick? I think Gracie and Luna are coocoo/co-dependant enough to legit have no problem sharing, at least with each other.

Isabel is gonna be a bit trickier though, maybe. Depends on if they truly consider her a sister, and if Angelo goes full gay and is willing to let Isabel be happy.

As somebody who once in a while likes a game of "27 schoolgirls fall for you, no questions asked" (though I still like some progression towards the event, a kind of "hunt") I can assure you that those threads are no better. Apart from the usual "updates take too long" and especially "too little scenes" you get the "MC is a sissy because he doesn't kick all women" you mentioned, you of course get "too much NTR, I want these girls and just because I didn't read description nor tags doesn't mean you needn't take it out" in NTR games or "needs NTR - we who love to share are superior, self assured, and that we feel the need to point this out does not make this contradictory at all" in non NTR ones. And how dare you introduce a non-fuckable female character (bonus points if it touches the "incest" question).

What unites this diverse bunch is always a feeling of "I know where the mistakes in this game lies" and those who like it as is are somehow inferior. The idea to just leave something alone you don't like is somehow not feasible. Hey, I get that, I regularily see games with incredible renders and glowing 5 star reviews all over but the "wrong" (for me) tags, that's not nice. But not everybody is on my payroll and works for me ...

 

[raider_manhc]

there is a bug in the job/contract "the painter" when you have been around the entire "map" and talked with that man mr Bonagura, if you go back to the tavern it somehow register it as being back with mr Bonagura. so cant talk with old man in tavern.

I don't know. I am not expecting a harem here. While I think this is one of those few stories in which a kind of harem could work*, I am actually waiting for the moment in which we will have to pick.

*The reason why I comment I could see a harem working here is simply because the setting allows it. In some sense, the key element is Cordia and the hierarchical structure of the family, mixed with the fact that Deluca is a family of wierdos.

Let me explain myself better. We have first that everybody obeys Cordia and her word is law. We have then that it was suggested (maybe not, but it was what I understood) that Cordia has remained alone since the death of Lucan. Provided her kiss was not motherly, she could developed feelings for MC.
Now, I can see a situation in which she would allow her daughters to be romantically involved with MC (it is again hinted she is already allowing it, when Wilfred comment to MC they are letting him have his way with the girls, at least for now).
Only way in which I can see Cordia also allowing Isabel's to be involved with MC is if Antonio died. The reason is that which mother would want her son to be cheated and I don't think the whole "Antonio goes gay" will ever happened.

So, all in all a situation in which Cordia, Luna, Gracie and Isabel date MC is potentially possible. First, however, let me be explicit here. I don't see a harem in which MC goes a pick which girl he wants to fuck and all other are happy and might even join. I see a situation in which each girl is aware he is dating the others, but nothing else. Second, it is Cordia who would be the harem queen, not MC, but simply it would be MC the one benefitting from it. This last part again follows from the hierarchical structure.

In general, and even with these variations, I would be very against the idea, as everybody agreeing MC can fuck everybody is a terrible way to write an interesting novel, as it kills a lot of potential conflict. Luckily, Deluca's plot is not a pure love story. The driving story is not about getting the girls. That is one of the things going on, but more a consequence than the cause of the plot. So even if eventually all relationship conflict was potentially killed, I can see the novel having so much things going on that it would not be truly detrimental.

HAVING SAID ALL THAT, I am still not betting money on this being the case. We will most likely have to pick, eventually. Or it might end up being one of those novels where the relationships issues are never resolved, in which the novel finishes with MC unable to pick.. One way or the other, we'll see, but I suggest you lower your harem expectations, though.

 

[Anthaeus]

I want Dragons in the harem, and the dog to rape Wilfred, and the MC to be Cordia's son so it's an incest story, and some random black guy named Eric with a 14 inch dick to screw any girl I leave alone for 5 minutes, and real pink fluffy unicorns to be barbequed while still alive then eaten, and a completely realistic mafia setting apart from girls on rollerskates cos thats hot, a nun in the story who isn't a sex crazed lunatic and some milk and cookies.

People can find pretty much whatever they are into somewhere around here, if only there was a way to search for games by tag instead of just asking game developers to make the game they want.

I wonder what would happen if i scrolled to the top of the page and clicked on one of the tags?

I know people can't read or won't on a site filled with Visual NOVELS and lot's of people typing staff in threads about those NOVELS but if they can't click stuff either how do they get on the site and download stuff in the first place?

If you click in latest update in the menu bar above, you can search by tag. But that will still not solve the issues. First, the tags are recommendations and people still complain about them. NTR tag being the extreme case. Second, people will complain always, regardless of what you do. Third, entitled douchebags will always be entitled douchebags.... no way to save that issue. I know, I am one!

I am praying that I get to Mary Luna in the end that is one of the reasons why I'm doing this getting all this powert doing whatever Mission HopesGamingwant me to do and if Cordia refuses to give me Lunas hand in marriage

I will ask HopesGaming permission to go straight up Darth Vader on their ass

Cordia give me Lunas hand or I will take Antonio's head and the head of anyone who gets in my way
