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

[whichone]

He's gotta die, but he needs to go out in a blaze of glory. If he gets killed in a way that Sonny gets killed like in that gif. Damn, it's gonna be pretty depressing to say the least (says the one who is expecting to see him die lmao )

Yeah, there were people wondering if he's the traitor.
I don't want that to be his end.
As you say, he should go out heroically, if just to leave his sisters with a more noble image.

 

[Dragon59]

It's not a game for a quick wank, no.
If you want a game with lots of sexual content, there are plenty on the site.
This is a story based game. It has worked on building a world & relationships, ahead of providing easy sexual encounters.
There are now 2 easy sexual encounters, both in the latest update.
It's a game which would receive an 18+ rating from any recognised game rating system. So it's indisputably "adult".
It's just not a fuck fest.
As I say, there are plenty of games with shallow stories and loads of pussy.

Name me one of the games which you think has a "better story", from the "bunch" that you reference, please?
I'd put a few on par with this, RA, Ataegina, CoBD...
Not sure I'd say any are "better" stories.

Agreed. There are a few out there that, like modern porn, only have the flimsiest of stories to drape around the sex scenes. This game is more about the story. My Name is Luna is powerful as well as disturbing and not something one would expect in porn. Most of us care about these characters and want to learn more about them, not just see more.

It's very easy to suspect Antonio. He is, after all, the family member we know the least. Like Sonny, he's also been arguing with the boss, his parent. Like Sonny, Antonio is a bit of a hothead.

I do get the feeling that the MC is more like Sonny Corleone than Antonio is in one key aspect, though. ;-)

I also expect that Cordia is fully aware of her son's bisexuality. She no doubt realizes how problematic this would be with culture.

Given that he is the son of a former Serpent, perhaps Cordia is actually grooming MC to be next in line should anything happen to Antonio. His nature could serve the family as well as Cordia's calm, cool and collected nature. MC is a bit like young Michael, not in the middle of things, but willing to do what is necessary.

Very well said.
Even the analogy, that the guy I was responding to gave, was utter nonsense:
"Isn't that pretty much like making a racing game and after 3 years having a couple of track tests and 1 race on a circular track?"
No. No, it's not.
A racing game is all about racing. Having a lack of tracks makes it boring.
A story based game is all about story. Having a low amount of sex is irrelevant. Having shit story would make it boring.
Thankfully, it does not.
This has a lot of excellent story, as you say I challenge anyone to find a more impactful event/sequence than My Name Is Luna.

This. Absolutely this.
Michael, on his trip to Corleone, where he learns the way.

Anyway, can we have a scene where one of the Dragons rides Floaty into battle next update please?

When do we get an extended scene to show was Floaty was doing during the mission?

That's not a challenge I'm willing to take on. I'm on your side there.

Yes. And the two scenes before, in the hospital and in the restaurant were the beginning of his journey to find his strength.

(2) When you talk about the new contract sytem you dislike (which is perfectly fine) you argue that "very, very few" people would like it. This somewhat clashes with what was said in this thread - I've seen quite a few people like it and consider it an improvement. That doesn't mean that you or anybody else has to like it, the 1 star can still stand, however I find it a bit misleading to claim some kind of majority here. Same for the "Let's all be honest" part referring to the same issue.

Count me as one of the supporters of the new contract system as well. The old system reminded me of a slot machine. You put in your stats and the result came out. The new system gives us more control/illusion of control. I had a lot of failed missions under the old system. Not so much under the new.

My question:

(3) How did you come to the conclusion that a mafia game with capos going all the way from rollerblading, via flail wearing, to pretending to be karate nuns; a game with toddlers tormenting a poor Wilfred; a game with off hand dialogue about ice cream is taking itself "so seriously"? - I mean, you can still slam it: not well done, not fitting the mood, too many emotional ups and downs to be coherent, absolutely unfunny, incoherent characters, so again I do not want to diminish your 1 star conclusion - this is your opinion and as valid as anybody else's - but I do not get how you come out of this game and consider it taking itself seriously.

This is very much a comic-book mafia, perhaps a little less dark than if it had been written by Alan Moore.

Somehow I can actually see that, Isabel performing negotiations with other Families on MC's stead at times, and perhaps has Luna as her bodyguard in these meetings.

Actually, never mind. Luna will constantly shoot the kneecaps when negotiations don't go our way.

Couldn't help but think of this Pomplamoose gem:

good game

Just one dumb question: Does anyone know the console command for more money?

 

[ut1stgear1]

These are by far the most emotional images I have ever seen or expect to see in any game here on F95.

There are people who are grinding contracts for more money, and you're literally asking for the cheat? lol

It's good or not?

I'm not sure I understand the question here to be honest.

 

[Joey the mangaka]

Finished stat. Only left information of the items

 

[luwinkle]

Is it just me or that the Dev cranked the horny up to 11 in this update?

WDYM? The last couple of updates have been updates to the mission system and the GUI, which looks amazing, BTW. Or do you mean 0.7?

 

[JJJ84]

Tried the Nimble Fingers contract with my latest save:



Gotta admit, I really like this slick looking interface, even though it's only a cosmetic change

Tried fighting the thug on the right but the dog didn't come.
I'm guessing the dog only comes when I start out and am really low on stats or something?

You has in the inventory painkiller ?
The dog it's in the end of east

Yeah, .7.

Yeah, I know. I met the dog again, pet it obsessively until it gave me the painkiller again.

I'm talking about the following in the 0.7.2's changelog:

"Added a little scene where the dog can save MC during nimble contract fight (Morbil)"

Fought the guy harassing the girl just north of where I met the dog again (after getting the painkiller), but the dog didn't show in the fight.
Must be cause my stats are too high or something.
