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

[faradhii]

lol probably 2 main reasons for that:

1) Most fans (including myself), at the moment treat sex scenes as pretty much like icing on cake.
Two things matter most to most fans of this game; story & characters.
That does not mean we don't want sex though. We know a lot of it will be coming, all in good time.

2) Eiza is not one of the main girls
Yes, MC finally got laid, but the sex scene was quite short. Someone mentioned this to Hopes (the dev) and his reply was "I didn't want to make the sex scenes of the side girls be more longer or impressive that they overshadow the main girls"

So yeah. we'll see MC have sex with side girls, but I'd imagine we won't get to the the whole floodgates of sexual content unless we reach the milestone where our MC starts having full sex with at least one of the main girls (in terms of order, I'd imagine Luna will be first, followed by either Gracie or Isabel, and then lastly Cordia).

Oh, I agree with all your points, I was mainly amused

 

[Ayhsel]

Definitely, 100% Cordia last.
I have a feeling Isabel will be first. She's furthest advanced, in terms of sexual contact with MC.
I think Gracie could well be ahead of Luna, she's a bit more eager to learn, but then Luna is smitten, so....
Aah, who am I kidding? As if I care, I am happy to wait for all 4 of my beauties to come & do not have a sequential preference.

I just wanna see Ayhsel when Cordia lays down an ultimatum: my daughter(s), or me!

ohh come on!!! that is soooo evil that I don't know if i should feel angry with your or proud!

I am pretty sure I would tell her that I pick her, as I would tell Luna that I pick her, Gracie that I pick her and Isabel that I pick her...

Never planned to live that long.

Ha haha, the anger is the purest expression of pride!

I am pretty sure I would tell her that I pick her, as I would tell Luna that I pick her, Gracie that I pick her and Isabel that I pick her...

Never planned to live that long.

& boy! What a way to go!!! Cannot perceive a brighter flame of glory.

Come to think of it, I agree with you.

Hopes did say lust level may be greatest with Isabel, so I can see her being first.
With Gracie and Luna, I have a feeling it's gonna depend on how fast Gracie learns what love actually is, realizes it is actually love she is feeling for the MC. Gracie is a fast learner, but in terms of being sure of her own feelings, Luna is ahead of her in that front I think (as you said).

And yeah, considering Cordia's position in the Family, her personality, and with how she will be the last main girl to kick off her content, it makes absolute sense for her to be last.

The moment we get Cordia update, it will turn into Granny content.

See, I don't know if Gracie will require love, in order to be curious and want to learn about sex.
It's her natural curiosity that, I think, puts her ahead of Luna.
Luna is shy, Gracie can treat it like an experiment - all the while complaining of the indecency!

 

[JJJ84]

Speaking of Cordia, when we get her free-roam content, I could be wrong, but I wonder if the free-roam rooms menu (which is currently full with MC's room, Boss's entrance, Living room, Luna's room, Gracie's room, Antonio & Isabel's room) will get an overhaul?
Or I wonder if it's just gonna become scrollable to left and right, being able to add more rooms of the house to either right side or left side of the Continue button? Hmmmmm

It sure is gonna be really interesting how things get changed with Cordia content.

To be honest, I do kinda wish several other possible areas of the house (that wasn't able to be accessed before) get unlocked when it happens, not just Cordia's bedroom. But that's just me.

How does everyone else feel about it?
I love the whole "unlock things as we go" aspect of the contracts, and players reaching Cordia content could possibly be an expansion of that, in the grand scheme of things as well as potential for events that we haven't experienced yet.

For this, I think the menu can remain as it is. We just get a new option when we click on Wilfred, to "Visit Lady Cordia".
Perhaps, at night, when he's not there, her office can provide access to her bedroom?

Maybe we'll get another house to explore, with its own menu. Perhaps the Soldato, or Capo's building - so we can visit Eiza?

If she wears lingerie which is even saucier than the one she was wearing when she caught our MC in her office, oh boy.

That would be really nice.
La Gamma is outdoors area where soldiers train, but I can imagine there exists an indoor training area also (whether it's shooting or hand-to-hand-combat), as well as places where all soldiers hang out to chill, play cards etc.
Also, perhaps there are rooms where confidential files are kept, such as MC's contracts (which is only accessible when MC reaches rank which is Capo or even higher, perhaps?)

There's lots of possibilities, I'd imagine.

Are Gracie or Luna going to have a child in that update? Cordia is a mother, not a grandmother.

Eiza will probably be staying there, so we'll have opportunity to visit, story wise.
If Cat's her Capo, then who knows whose room we can end up in?

 

[faradhii]

I really like the idea that MC is that special kind of toon that is JUST a bit better than whoever hes fighting. Fighting a putz? He BARELY wins. Fighting a Serpent? He STILL barely wins!

 

[Penfold Mole]

You know, all this talk about Gracie in the forest or in the wild, gives me the weirdest idea that I'd love to see a special render of Gracie as a smoking hot female version of Bear Grylls-like adventurer

Given Gracie's very free spirit to want to seek adventures and explore something unknown, I'd imagine it would sync very well (like how Ciri cosplay render sync was fantastic with Luna).

HopesGaming, what do you think?

Something like lockhear recently made? It's not exactly what you mean, but getting pretty close

So I am encountering a bug where I can not see the job menu whatsoever, and I cannot access any of the new content from 0.07. Any fixes?

I take it you re-started the game, with v07 & are not trying to load an existing save, from v06.6?

That does not mean we don't want sex though. We know a lot of it will be coming, all in good time.

For me, this reason is sufficient. There are 2-3 games on this site which even without any sexual scenes I would definetely continue to play and DeLuca is one of them. Just progrressing in the story and romance with Luna (without any lewd scenes) is more than enough for me.

Aha. So Gracie does talk about it (Good catch!).
So from what we're hearing from her, seems like both Luna and Gracie were exploring the forest then they somehow got separated due to an incident, and Gracie lost the memory of what happened.
It will be intriguing how this part of her storyline gets explored.

Thank you. After speculating so much and searching for clues about that speculations, I feel like I memorized to whole game. (At least up to ver0.06)

How does everyone else feel about it?

Yeah, this aspect definetely more enjoyable. I feel like free roam scene with Cordia will be in her office and we can access it with clicking the door behind the Wilfred or it will be in the living room in "late night" while everyone else is sleeping. This is her very first free roam event and I am highly doubtfull that we see Cordias bedroom in this state.

I started a new save with 0.07.

ImportError: No module named future.standard_library

I got the same error. It starts fine under Wine (before encountering a separate error), so this error appears to be specific to the Linux executables.

Same error here. This is the second game ever to give me this error. To clarify, this didn't used to be a problem and I could play "The DeLuca Family" Linux version just fine but something in this latest update where we had to start a new game I am now greeted by this error.

The other game on this site gave me the same exact error (FreshWomen -- they said they were going to fix it in the next version so we'll see there). Something about no module named "future.standard_library". The literally hundreds of other Ren'Py games I've been playing on F95 do not have this issue (yet).

On my system I can freely swap between Python 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10-beta for the system to actively use. All give the same error when trying to open this latest version of "The DeLuca Family", so I still think it's in the Ren'Py implementation(?) being used by certain games. Good luck, devs, we appreciate you.

In the Mission "Nimble Fingers" you have to fight a couple and finish the fight with an S Rank to unlock a Picture, but no matter how good my stats are I always finish with a D Rank.
Does anyone have an Idea why this could be?

It's a bug. You can either use the console to change the FightDefeat variable or there's a patch posted somewhere in the thread.
