I'm pretty far in the game, almost finished the main story and all of Luna's story, still have a bit to go with Gracie and Antonio's wife (forgot her name).

I've done all the event contracts that have been available. But for my game so far, I've only had 5 contracts come up and they're all in the D level. Do I have to 100% complete all of these contracts to go further in the game? Are there only D level contracts available at this time? Do the contracts have any relation to the main game or are they just for fun?
She's called Isabel, you heathen :D

As for the contracts, finishing them 100% is not required to advance the story. Doing so will give you arguably the best items and a bit of backstory.

nopy link is 403 invalid ?
Nopy works for me.

As one last piece of info, to expand on what Cartageno said, above:
As he informed you, the Rescue Mission comes in the form of a Contract.
As such, getting the gear from the 5 x D contracts is going to enable you to enter that with better stats & pass more checks successfully.
Finishing Gracie & Isabel's side quests will add total of + 3 to each, Charisma & Intelligence.
Contracts guide here.

All contracts are only available to the correct level of Family member.
We're guessing that C contracts will come with our next promotion.

So, maybe something like this:
D: Soldato
C: Elite
B: Elite & Capo
A: Capo & Serpent
S: Serpent

Just to add a little bit to what Cartageno replied to you above; it's really gonna depend on which mode you're playing this game (I always choose Full experience), but it's recommended to max out the contracts 100% because what you get basically changes not just with the special renders (and money) but also equipment.

For example, the best equipment reward for the contract "Nimble Fingers" is rare hardened gloves.
If you did just relatively well in that contracts first completion, it's most likely you'll be given uncommon hardened gloves.
So to get the rare hardened gloves, you'll need to go back to that contract and try it again, do better to get them (they of course are more valuable than the uncommon ones, and have higher stats boosts).

And that's part of the point of the contracts, more often than not, you'll not get a "perfect run" in your first crack at them and it is expected for you to go through again, that is if you want the better equipment.

is it close to finish
Hopes (the dev) said that the game at this point is around 30% done.

30% still seems like a high number to me. Still so much that we haven't seen yet. I would think it's more like 10 or 15 percent tops. But Hopes would know better than me.

lol yeah, when he revealed that, I thought "Whoa that's more than expected."
Personally I was expecting between 15~20% (more closer to the lower end of that spectrum lol).
But yeah, Hopes would know at which point his story is at.

I think Hopes response (iirc) to it was some of the main players are firmly established now, and some other players, may get introduced through not just the main story, but also freeroam events and others.
But as said, I'm just recollecting this from a vague memory lol.

Thanks for the help everyone. That part where it's a flashback of when Luna got captured and kept in cages, had to kill innocent animals etc was pretty fucked up. Can't say I was expecting it to get that dark!! That part of the story was really long too, I was kind of hoping it would hurry up and end.

Also, the dialouge in this game is kind of funny/cringe. I've played Being a Dik and after playing that the dialouge in this is just kind of funny. Not hating on the game, it's still decent quality.

Yeah, you'll find that some games click with your personal taste and others not so much, in terms of how they're written and the dialogue is presented.

Wilfred is a stereotype and plays up on being very stiff and formal.
Cordia says as little as is necessary.
Antonio is bravado & Gottardo and Joey are just mental.
Serpent is normal, comes across as though he has a superiority complex, but he is superior.
Nuns are playful teases.
Luna is gung-ho crazy on the outside, hurt and wounded, inside.
Gracie is cold and calculating, but also surprisingly emotional.

No problem.
As the saying goes, "Patience is a virtue" and with everything described by Hopes in his Dev posts since the update dropped, I'm excited for what's to come (Gracie events? Yay!! Luna events? Yay!! Cordia events unlocking? Hooray!!).
It's a good time to be a DeLuca fan.

Yup, Whichone did a superb job on the Contracts walkthrough. So many times I'm noticing several people who get through the contracts with his walkthrough (and he also helps a number of people who get stuck during contracts and might be having trouble even with the walkthrough).

I'm glad you enjoyed the Compendium.
My plan is to continue updating it until Hopes says "That's everyone. Every character for the DeLuca-verse has now been revealed, and I won't be introducing any more." (but that I believe is still a long time away)

So while you enjoy the game, hope you enjoy my little compendium also.
After all, the current babes/girls list I think is just the beginning
Now I am also excited !

I've read before about your 'plan' to the Compendium. Hope also, that this is a long time away.
Sure I will enjoy the Game (and your Compendium). Lucky me I have a lot of free-time now....
(BTW. I've have read nearly the whole Thread.....)
Greetings to all DeLucas ;););)

Do you mean the "what is weak is truly strong" mission?

7.x version doesn't have translations yet afaik.
In "a bottle for a bottle" quest, Wilfried give you contract to steal a bottle, it never appears for me in the contracts menu.....

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.
Where you able to run it ? I am able to but not with the embedded renpy, I've to use the one I installed on my Linux (running with renpy . , in the directory I uncompressed it). But I don't know if the dev customized renpy (and that will breaks things later for me) or if being able to start it is enough.

For your information, renpy version I used is 7.4.4.1439

Noone knows. Only Hopes does. And he generally does not give out the ETAs until it's like 1 week or so before the release is confirmed (which is totally understandable and also, he does it with a good reason).

Only thing anyone can tell you is that release for the next update will be quicker than the release of v0.07 (which took a longer time due to major gameplay overhaul with the contracts).
The trouble is that your first sentence is correct and without exceptions. Hopes doesn't give any ETA's exactly because he doesn't know it either. When he gets close enough, which is about a week to finishing the next part of the game, then he can give some estimate about it and it will only be somewhat accurate if nothing unexpected gets in the way.
The same goes for other devs who are making their games in their free time and have a day job, a family and responsibilities.

Hi the game is really nice, but it's said we can do play in french, i don't see where i can shoose french, i click on language i saw just english
All translation works are done by volunteers and if a certain language isn't there it could mean only on of the following:

1) Nobody started working on that certain language translation yet

2) The language's translation is being worked on and the whole thing won't be available until it's ready (usually, with the game's additional update with the "added X language translation" etc in the changelog)

3) Translation work has been totally abandoned by the translators

Given that this game has remained English only in language options for quite a few updates now, my guess is that the translations for French, German, Spanish languages likely have been abandoned (though I could be wrong, so don't take my word for it lol).

It's just that OP hasn't been updated in a while, especially regarding the language options.
