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

[JeefZ]

Right, so the person stating "this new version, 7.2, has no new content." has one response:
No. It doesn't.
As Cartageno said, his statement is correct.

7.0 was the last release with "new content".
7.1 & 7.2 were both bug-fixes & cosmetics, with no story or mission content (apart from the dog scene).
So "this new version, 7.2, has no new content." is correct. It does not.


Ha ha ha, yeah, definitely getting "escort services" vibes from that name...

Maybe Wilfreds Special services when the guys can't do the job????

lol now you're making me think that Viagra covers this?

We had a fad over here as well about saving energy and suchlike, so motion detectors were installed in school classrooms. Bad idea while taking an exam.

And while I am all for saving energy if not interfering with practicality, considering that my employer is one of the largest energy hogs in the whole region (our monthly bill is, despite favorable conditions from suppliers due to scale, literally in the millions) - couldn't you set it to a minute? Or maybe even five?

The irony is strong, with this one...

 

[Jimayo]

't is - though different devs handle it differently. But I was responding to a question about the changes to 0.7.2, so it was not taken as a given. Never said it was something extraordinary or similar.

Yeah, but he didn't say from .7.1 so I assumed he meant since the last major update.

According to the Dev HopesGaming, game at this stage, is roughly around 30% completed.

Regarding the sex, well this is what it says in FAQs in OP:

Q. Where's the sex?!
A. This game is a bit different from the rest as it is not solely an adult game. The story is as much part of the game as the adult part. Therefore do not expect to have the girls go crazy about you right away. With that said, there will be plenty of bed action down the line.


In other words, this game is definitely not for folks who are impatient with the sex and want to screw the girls from early on. If that is what you're expecting, you're better off looking for another game which suits your taste.

First of all, thanks for the elaborated answer !

To me the real problem is the waiting time, apparently it will take at least more two years

 

[Lord Verminaard]

Though having said that, why do I get the strong feeling everyone (well almost everyone) will just pick Luna as the Capo choice (as their main save)?

Can't see a single player picking another Capo.

I dont know if its possible but adding a different sex/lewd scene for each caporegime would spice this a bit. Adding a bit diversity like each capo leads other possible scenarios with nearly same results (like Sorcerer's demon hunter-gorgon path choice) might be good way for that. In that way there wouldnt be any main save for some people.

For lewd scenes female caporegimes leading a scene with that capo or her named subs, sisters leads a threesome, Cat leads a threesome with Onoria while male capos lead scene like going to different brothels, strip clubs or his named subs? Even if all of them converge same point in the end, chosing different ones would be encouraged this way.

I know it is too much work and probably we wont see it, by the way.

Every one-person project/game with high quality visuals have high waiting periods if developer dont do it full time. Of course amount of content differs game to game but given render times, a part time developer must wait long enough for high quality visuals.

I have a theory that MC will end up being a Capo with all the cute girls under him. He already has the assassin, he's the only one that Luna really listens to, and a fully trained Gracie would be terrifying. Add more girls as they appear. Call them. MC's Angels

i think being a dik is the best game ever. i would enjoy this?

 

[justsum]

i think being a dik is the best game ever. i would enjoy this?

I play Being a Dik, It's a pretty cool game but "The Deluca Family" reigns supreme IMHO. Just keep in mind it is more story based and the story is rich, deep and complex.

 

[Niv-Mizzet the Firemind]

i think being a dik is the best game ever. i would enjoy this?

It's kinda of an invalid comparison. DLF's best feature is the story. Badik doesn't even come close in that respect imo. Everything else (I assume) should be directly comparable or leaning towards Badik's favour (I can't be certain about that though, I couldn't be bothered finishing act 2).

If you think that a really good, dark story about a perverted sexual demon in the mafia would be enjoyable, then by all means download and play. For what it's worth, I recommend doing so.

 

[Mortarion]

Keep in mind guys, that is is not a game x is superior as game y thread

 

[Niu6609]

I haven't completed the main story but goddammit I just finished all the content for Luna and I'm actually pretty frustrated like GAHHHHHH I NEED MORE!!!

Just started at 3 in the afternoon and it's 11 at night now.... The DeLuca Family really did break a lot of my expectations, what with the 'Work' being a text-based adventure, and me being the person that I am, looking to maximize my stats immediately as soon as I saw that feature. I gotta know though, is there any way to 100% complete the contracts excluding Nimble Fingers? Because I've tried doing what I think is everything in the missions, yet 'Nimble Fingers' is the only one I've 100% completed.

Anyways I'll be heading back to the game now to complete the main story, and open up separate save files for Gracie and Isabel and one more for a harem route, I really wanna see how the relationships progress.

 

[italianstallionxxx]

So the game has good story then. I hope you are all right!

 

[Cartageno]

I understood it more as "If I like game x, what are the odds that I will like DeLuca".

 

[Niu6609]

There's a guide to Contracts in the OP, the one titled Walkthrough.
As far as 100%, do you mean gaining a Green colour?
So far it seems that Nimble Fingers is the only one that goes Green.
I've 100% completed all the others, but they remain Yellow, don't even reach Orange.
I think this might be due to the fact that these 4 were written by other people?

Yeah I was referring to the green colour you get when fully completing a contract, good to know that Nimble Fingers is the only one that does so. Thought I missed something even after like 4-5 tries at each contract. Thanks!

Just completed all the main content for the game too, thinking about replaying for the NTR Isabel route. Also kinda thinking that 'Pops' might be one of the Mysterious Six honestly, but pretty unsure about it. Really hope the C-Rank and above Contracts will be unlocked in a near future update, really enjoying them.

And I'll be damned if I'm not in love with Luna after playing the game. She has this whole eccentric, Harley Quinn-esque personality but she's a big, playful, scarred child on the inside, which really makes me feel for her. Also her no-filter, crazy style is something I can really get behind, she's a precious gem that I want to protect...

[Sentinel20]

can someone explain to me how I am supposed to be able to unlock the ability to buy those books from my laptop because I just finished the "My Name is Luna" mission and the only options I can see on my laptop are "Check hidden recording", "Relax for a while", and "Log off".

You know for a moment there, with your first paragraph I thought you meant lewd/sex for all Capos lmao (sorry Angelo, Battista, not saying you guys are not sexy , but I'm not into dudes, sorry ).

Thank goodness you had your second paragraph .

Basically what whichone said above. From 0.07 onwards, books on laptop are no longer available (no longer needed anyway. Putting on the right equipment and doing main story which gives stat boost +1 at times gives the MC enough boost to get through the contracts).
The book that whichone mentioned can be bought in Nimble Fingers contract, and that gives you increase in knowledge that makes you able to pass the test with the bikini girl's question event.

 

[Sentinel20]

There are no books on your laptop, anymore.
Only book is found in the 1st contract, at the market stall, for $20.

wait then how am I supposed to get the 50 stealth to continue with the mission "A Bottle For A Bottle"

yeah contracts arent an issue, like I stated just above, I am trying to find out how to get enough stealth to finish "A Bottle For a Bottle" as from what I heard books used to be the way you could achieve that
