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

[Hyperserver]

An please people take note of Hypeserver signature. This one, you can't accuse it to be a brainwashed fanboy... well, at least not one of hopes, I don't know what MrDots did to him

haha - thanks......
and of course MrDots did something to me: creating awesome written stories which i prefer over sexual content (same as Acting Lessons [hopefully Beeing ADIK will continue again with a great story], Retrieving the past, The DeLuca Family and some other great games which i like because of their stories).
If i want fuck scenes i would watch pornhub or other such stuff.

EDIT: all i want is people to think about pledging good devs for good work instead of senseless complaining about something they dont even take part to support. I hate those who complain and hate about free grabbed stuff instead of just enjoying what they (mostly) illegally got to play!!!

 

[desmosome]

anyone else getting overlapping music during the scene where you catch the redhead?

 

[jamdan]

they are not bugged - all works fine... you just have to find the right trigger

What is the trigger that advances "The Magic Touch" ? Checking the recording (#4) doesn't do anything.

 

[Dalinar Kholin]

While I appreciate good writing (and this has it), the sole reason one plays a porn game instead of a regular game is ...porn. If all I cared about was good writing I 'd go play Witcher 3 again.

Not that I disagree with your reasoning for playing porn games at all, one could also argue though that you could just go and watch porn and skip the game. There are some of us that enjoy the experience of an immersive story, AND the sex...

I was wondering that. Yes, I got it too. Really bad for the ears, I almost had to turn off the volume.. Not only that scene but also during her interrogation. Bug?

Starting a new game should work. Or you can replace update_quests.rpy under game/ with attached one and load your 0.03 save. Seemed to work for me.
@HopesGaming - the quest was incorrectly redefined as "Movie Time" as part of the update.

Can i save the sister, an if so how do i start it?

its several days after you initiated the recording then you can see the recording. this is repeating a few times (there are 7 recordings as i remember). then you have to dance with her in the evening and all will be self-explaining

well, then enjoy the story NOW and enjoy the sex LATER in game XD

That worked for me. Thanks

A good porn game has well written branching paths and a good amount of porn to go with the story. This offers an interactivity that you can't find in other adult media like regular porn. Same reason I don't like those linear kinetic novels passing as games, you are essentially just watching with no interaction.

THAN GO PLAY WITCHER 3 AGAIN...STOP WHINING!! *hands you some cheese* for your whine

No whining here , I find this game pretty good actually. I just wish its adult content so far was more than a kiss and a hug. Hopefully it picks up the pace. And I am definitely going to replay Witcher 3 again, it was a damn good game.

The thing is, if you complain about something that is wrong or simply isn't good, that has nothing to do with whether you pay for it or not.

It's not like I would eat a pile of shit, just because I get it for free.

Don't get me wrong, the DeLuca Family is one of my faves, I just can't agree with your position at all in general.
If something is bad, you speak up about it.

this one of those games that i care more about the story then the sex scenes because its pretty unique not really alot of mafia games aside from probably my new life and in that game the mafia part isnt part of the whole game

My humble personal impressions, after completing this update (without problems it's a question of finding the right trigers to advance and sometimes wait a few days, can be up to 4/5):
- - two tracks of music overlaping, sounds awfull, it happened with me two times, when first meeting the readhead and when Cordia talks with her. Anyone else?
- If the MC knew well his closest friend and family, no way he could be so "naive" when entering the DeLuca Family "world". It came unexpectedly, made a surprise but I have doubts about the "credibilty "of linking the present life of the MC with that past.

+ Amazing graphics as always, liked specially the outdoor scenes , to know some more about Lucania.
+ Even the update is focused in Gracie, it was nice to see also Luna and Cordia (missed Isabel). Wilfred keeps being ... Wilfred (awesome!)
+ The MC is becoming more "bad ass", not caught easily.
+ Expectations raised for future episodes (ramsom operation of the sister and so on).

+++ The Dev keeps true to his work, shows he has a clear vision and, although taking attention what people say, keeps his route.

It was a good update, kept the level, the only problem is that was so long expected (for reasons already explained) that many people probably expected more content. But I feel there always be people, like me, who always want more, you can't get enough of a really good thing. Thank you a lot, @HopesGaming , keep up the good work, you really have talent.

I dont want to undermine anything HopesGaming has done, I really like the game and the Characters are awesome, and I was hoping for some more from Luna since shes my favorite character. But even if people are getting it for free, if they see something they like they just might consider supporting the dev. But, since its 3 months since the last release, the amount of content in this release is kinda disappointing, especially considering hes made almost 6k in this time alone and people paid money for a few months and got nothing. Some devs do monthly releases and get as much content, or maybe a bit less, but without letting people wait this long. Again, I like HG, and I really hope this game keeps up its quality, but people might even stop supporting if its this amount they get every 3 to 4 months

Well I went the other way and started supporting the dev on Patreon after playing this.
If enough people do that then more updates of one of the best things on here.
Love the renders, the dialogue, the characters, the story and there's not many games that tick all those boxes for me.
I actually feel kinda guilty I didn't start paying for it sooner.
