Q&A
🕑 Added 2021-07-11 20:27:57 +0000 UTCThanks to the people who participated in the Q&A today!
Parentheses are the names of the people asking the questions.
Q. Harem ending? (Andeddo)
A. There is no plan for a harem ending as of yet. The planned story will not allow it.
Q. will we get to kill people in side missions? (xDrixzy-_-)
A. Yes, there are plans of many kills in the side mission.
Q. Will we able to corrupt the girls a little ? Don’t want to ruin them. (Lucky)
A. There is already a small corruption play with the girls on their sexuallity. Mostly on Gracie. But, that is very mild compared to how corruption are done in trainer games and pure corruption games. The girls will never become degenerates and become 'toilets'.
Q. Will there be more major choices like Isabel's one? And will there be more of a random lewds like in the last update with nuns and killers? (Bbllaaddee)
A. Yes there are going to be a few more choices like those. Planning to add friendship routes to the other girls. Not in depth but just for the people that want to stick with one girl.
There will be many more random lewds at this stage of the game.
Q. Uh uh uhhhh Can we get breast expansion content? (Mr. Ghost)
A. No, that is too hard to add due to how the image and scenes are made.
Q. know we joke a lot about this in other channels, but will the MC actually have kids as result of a "happy accident"? (Rain2reign)
A. I actually thought a lot of kids and even how they play a role in the sequel. But nothing concrete for now.
Q. well not easy to translate but i'm gonna try. I asking if hopes have been hired or demand to create plot for other games? (Notuik)
A. I have received quite a few offer to write for other games, yes. But sadly I do not have the time for other games beside DeLuca.
Q. Whats your favorite part of the creation process? (Flower Boy)
A. I like most of it. Story writing when I do not have a writers block is probably my favorite part. Secondly, and ironically, lewd scenes I enjoy making.
Q. When will the mcs personality start to change/if it does? (XDrixzy-_-)
A. His change is a major part of the story. It happens as he gets more involved actively in the family (compared to now where he is very passive)
Q. Question: don't you think that would be a good idea to have a github for public release version, so any hotfixes can be just pulled and not done by hand? (Bbllaaddee)
A. I don't know much about github, unfortunately.
Q. What's your approach to creating narrative in the DeLuca Family. Do you have a central story already finished in your head with only side-stories being shifted around/made on the spot? Or are you using a more chaotic approach? (Tyr Teg)
A. I have start mid and end planned. Many side events and important moments. The rest happens as I go. An example would be Luna's backstory. I had it planned before even creating her. That is why her bed is in the middle, she hides her eye, and the scenes where she is leaning towards the wall at night. That is due to the cage, electricity, beating, etc.
What wasn't planned was the importance of the girls she met in there. Those stories and changes happens while writting that part.
Q. When are you going to quit that dang restaurant job and make porn full time! We all want more DeLuca! (Mr. Ghost)
A. I don't know. This business is really not stable and you never know what may happen. Not at the stage where I am comfortable enough to drop everything for it.
Q. Will we get sleep sex? Will we be able to interact with the girls in the morning ? Waking them up in different ways …(Cordia's personal panty Licker) (Lucky)
A. I am not too much fond of sleep sex as it is usually non-consensual and then we end up in a very dangerous territory. If it will be done it will be clear that it is consensual.
Interacting with them, like waking them up, for the sake of lewdness is planned, however.
Q. Will we get more legendary, flying flipflops? (Rain2reign)
A. Yes! Probably. Hehe.
Q. Have you been good and healthy? (Blazblue)
A. I've been very good lately, thank you! Just started at the gym and doing some new food plans to get in good shape again. Good for the mental as well!
Q. Where did the Deluca story came from (Cordia's personal panty Licker)
A. I was watching a turkish series called Cukur and that is the reason I went with the mafia theme. But overall it is just everything I've seen and read throughout my life. Hence the very anime like style.
Q. Following the massive and widespread appreciation this image received, (Gym Render) can we please expect future clothing work to outline pussies and buttholes through clothing? Personally and pervertedly speaking, spying one of the characters wear a buttplug or vibrator visible through their clothes would be incredible. (Mr. Ghost)
A. The more we get into it the more 'sweet' and 'lovely' we can experiment with lewd events regarding clothing and toys.
Q. Will we get interactive menus to ask the girl to sleep with us or other things ? (Lucky)
A. Yes
Q. Will we ever have night club or general night life content like normal people in the nearest town/city? (Rain2reign)
A. There will be plenty of night-life events. If it will be like normal people night-life event tho - probably not.
Q. Why is there no Eiza button in #select-your-favorite-characters ? (Andeddo)
A. She's not a main girl. If we add side characters the list will become too long and too many roles.
Q. Are there ever plans to add another dedicated member to the development team, to do coding or help with artwork etc? (MedicBear DeLuca)
A. I want to. It'd be nice to have someone do some art, writting or coding. Especially now we are opening up to many side characters and events.
Problem is finance. Right now I am a bit under normal wage (denmark). If I add someone full time they probably expect real wages. Secondly, this is an adult game and I like to be anonymous. Making a legit contract would require me to share my real name etc.
With all that said, there is already a lot of outside help for the game.
I pay a lot of freelance work for diverse stuff like music and codes. And not to forget the amazing help from mobil and such.
Q. Will Gracie ever use the camera or audio recorder against you as punishment for spying on her in the bathtub? (Rain2reign)
A. There are no cams/audio in the bathroom
Q. What's Luna's favorite movie? Kinda feel that she watches plenty of hardcore gangster action flicks and romance movies are her guilty pleasure. (Mr. Ghost)
A. Scarface!
Q. Will Cordia have a proper route? And will there actually be Cordia content ? Like full nsfw with the mc ? (Shadrack) (Lucky)
A. Yush! There will be lots. No worries.
Q. Will we ever get to see some more fetish content in the game e.g BDSM, cosplay or anything of that sort? (MedicBear DeLuca)
A. I am planning to experiment with lots of different fetishes. cosplay and BDSM included.
Q. What are Lady Cordias measurements? (Shadrack)
A. February 31
Q. Hey Hopes! Long time fan here, first time caller. Will the two DeLuca daughters eventually catch us spying on them in the restroom? I'm curious if they'll appreciate the attention and get aroused, or smack the MC! (Mr. Ghost)
A. There are a few events planned on that front. MC won't be smacked.
Q. Different character outfit? i know, their look is kinda memorable but stil.(Andeddo)
A. The girls (and many of the males) will have clothing change every new season. We are actually one update short for new season
Q. Could we get Luna dressed as a princess for a date one night ? We could have a cave restaurant night part 2 with everyone jealous instead. (Mr. Ghost)
A. Funny actually. I have had a plan for a special event involving Luna, princess like outfit, and main story event. It will shock even Luna herself.
Q. Will we be able to actually have some sort of relationship with the girls ? There are a lot of games that are like … „congrats you got her“ THE END (Lucky)
A. The end of the girl's content is not determined by relationship, but rather story. Even after they seal the deal and get dirty, romance and what not - they still have a story to tell.
So - yes, there will be relationship even after a sex scene.
Q. Are there plans to have the girls find out about your 'activities' with the other girls? (MedicBear DeLuca)
A. Not at the moment, no.
Q. Are there any plans to add in public lewd events ~ such as making Luna and/or Gracie wear vibrators while hanging out in the town? (Mr. Ghost)
A. Public lewds events are hot. So, yush.
Got it all! Hope this was fun for you guys as well. Do tell me if you want more of stuff like this.

Thank you for taking the time to post this for us who missed the live event! means a lot and really look forward to the next update :)

Yes, I would like to see an event like this again. Mainly, because I missed this one. However, I think most of my questions got asked. I am intrigued by the no harem thing. Because, right now you can romance at least Isabel, Gracie, and Luna. So, I am wondering if you have to eventually choose one or if you just keep your romances secret from the others. If the latter, that would be dangerous, but interesting. Anyways, I think it is awesome you did this. Take care!
