D/led for a quick look to see if I had missed anything on my play through and ended up going over it in more detail due to the quality of work.

Firstly, thanks for making one and the amount of thought put into it (coloring, graphics, layout, double-column design etc.)

I am assuming that you will continue it when the next chapter comes out, so some proofing that hopefully will be useful:
- In Isabel's bio, the likes you have there are actually Luna's and not hers
- Somewhere in mid-game, you can walk in to Gracie's room and complement her to get a +heart. This seems to be missed in the WT.
- Are you sure the +/- morality are correct? I haven't looked under the hood so I don't know for sure, but it seems some of them (whether to stop a shooting or not etc.) should be the reverse. For instance, saying that honor and integrity are important when asked by the sniper Serpent = -1 morality while saying they are a hindrance = +1 morality? Surely, it should be the reverse.

Again, I applaud you for making the guide. Cheers.
Thanks, I'll add 1 and 2, regarding 3 it's really just that, you would have to ask Hopes on an explanation, but I think it's meant to be a variable pointing to being a good DeLuca and not quite a good person (at least not always).

first post on the forum.... love the game, at the end of the story i was like that cant be it.... and yeah i was wondering about the morality thing too although it seems it too early in the game to have any repercussions.
Luna is great but i really would not like to have Gracie "corrupted" or mc become a selfish asshole using her... and its going to be interesting to see how we get Cordia involved.... cant wait for the next update

Important news
Hello everyone

This month has been a very stressful and busy month due to real life obligations that have piled up and needed my full attention. Going between that and the project has just been a living hell. This sadly means that I have not gotten in the amount of work that I really wanted for DeLuca. Therefore, I have decided to pause the July pledges which means there won't be anyone that will get billed this upcoming month. Of course, I'll still work my ass off July month as I hope to have an update ready there.
This does not mean I will throw away the quality to rush out a release. I always priorities quality.

Now with that out of the way;
I really look forward to showing you the outcome of the battle scene. I must say I am proud of how that turned out to be. Lots of trial and error to make it as adrenaline pumping and special as I could. Studied a lot on battle scenes and on camera work so hopefully that will show. The goal is to make proper fight scenes instead of the mundane and lifeless ones we tend to see in VN's.

In one of my previous patreon post, I explained my thought process on it. Been a while so can't find it right now but the gist of it;

Luna - Romance/love
Gracie - Exploit/explore
Isabel - Seduction netori
Cordia - Special
Side characters such as mc's private soldiers - Simply pleasure

This is done because I don't want every LI to feel the same.
Now, Luna is very shy regarding love and hence won't talk with anybody regarding her love life with MC.
Gracie is rather good at keeping secret and will not talk with anybody with this either. Especially as she finds it very 'indecent' and 'unladylike'. Isabel will of course not say anything due to her situation. Cordia is not known to be one who talks with people a lot.

The only one who will dislike MC having other partners will be Luna. The rest are not in 'love' with mc on that scale.
For now, I made sure to tell all who ask that they should not worry about consequences with dating anyone. There will be none. This is where the little 'porn logic' happens as, realistically, it would be hard for a guy to mess around with so many of the females in a household without being found out. This is mostly possible due to the story being nonrealistic compared to the more realistic style of settings out there.
In the future, I do however plan to add a bit on the cross relationships, maybe little conflicts and other stuff that could add to the 'roleplay' experience of anyone who likes to stay faithful to one specific LI or just like to explore what happens when multiple girls are being dated.
For now, the story and the individual girls content takes priority as it's too early to add something like that.
so this means we can have a possible sexual relationship with Lady Cordia? I think it was stated other way before. Please make it happen, pleaseee

So, how far goes the story in this version? I just had the encounter with the Bonano kids after getting my Soldato suit in the park with Luna, talked with Wilfred about the incident and that's as much as i could find so far.

Check the journal in the ? menu, all the events and missions are listed there.
Yes, it has been a month or more since i last played, but seeing no new missions here.
guess i got kind of lucky with finding the "soldato package" event i had missed...

On a completely unrelated note, it's curious but i never noticed before that Antonio is 11+ years older than Luna & Gracie, quite the age gap between siblings.I ask myself if this is the result of their (unmamed) father disappearing or going to prison for some time, Antonio are children of different fathers, him (or them) being adopted or who knows what else.

PS: Just noticed a little bug/error or something when checking the hidden recordings in Gracie's room -there's no "2. Recording" in the listing from 1 to 7.

From 1 - the one with her doing some exercise in thong and unbuttoned shirt.
We go for straight for 3 - with Gracie practicing boxing in pants with boobs out.

Is it just a numbering error or did i somehow miss some early Gracie scene through the whole game? :)

You didn't steal her panties during the jeans event, there was a screenshot of it in the opening post but it's gone now sadly...
Anyone that know about this can pls someone answer?
Don't think anyone (except HopesGaming) really knows yet, it's probably like LegendKing23 said though I'd imagine.

Hopes knows it!
Basically, you are reading too much into the code itself. In-game (at the help section ("?")) it's called dispassion and the text for that is;

"Dispassion
This is how willing your character is to 'bend' the rules and do what is 'necessary' in the world of mafia. A dispassionate person has an easier time with killing an enemy, stealing and do specific missions and also give you the options on different 'executions' options."


Basically, it determines how it will shape the MC. I am not planning to do any crazy branching with it (who knows what the future holds tho), but to give an example of what is planned;

Mc gets the upper-hand against an enemy guy. Option
A, Let him leave (- morality in code which decreases dispassion)
B, Kill him (Single shot to the head. No dispassion change. This is the mafia world and death is part of life.)
But here is the thing with the stat. If it's 'high' enough then other options may appear that adds extra scenes. Such as
C, Slice his throat over with a knife. (which adds +morality and increase dispassion)

Now, don't dwell too much into the options as those were just some fast options as for example and it's not always about death and murder, etc.
The reason why it's called morality in the code and not dispassion is because I started with having it called morality in the in-game help section. But discussing this subject with some of the players in the thread they made it clear that dispassion is the better word to use. Now, I didn't want to go back in the code and replace all the morality stat name to dispassion as I myself do not mind it. It's just the code and not in-game.

Oh, looks like i have a good stupid reason to replay from start now. ;)

Oh, a little curious something that i came across while messsing around - apparently if you equip the Soldato unit in place of the black clothes, the "shadow the politician" D-level stealth mission reopens and stays in yellow even if you are successful at it.
