It's too bad that this dev has gone the milking route. He has an established pattern of saying that he has unexpected delays which push the release of his updates to the next month so he makes sure to get his patreon money.

So when you first saw this game, you probably thought the same thing I did: "Another 3d Ren'py incest game with cheap art."

I only felt like trying it out when I read through what the dev had to say in his post here. Have a look for yourself: he puts a lot of effort into what he's saying. He put a lot of effort into his patreon page. So you know what-? I gave the game a shot. Turns out- he puts a lot of effort into his game too: Gumdrop has put some excellent writing and character design into Dual Family. Although porny, each of the models used for his characters is made to really suit them.

Your mom has a distant, jaded stare that makes you nervous but also curious.
Your sister is bright and chipper- but also volatile, capricious- even a bit annoying...
Your aunt is kind and warm: and then you find out she's sinister, wacky and impressively devious.

It's tragic this game's writing is so good because I fear just reading my review alone won't move you, so I'll try to be very clear: play the game and try it out.

But if you're waiting for an analysis- I've got that too: when you start the game, you're given a prompt. A family is already in front of you and you're deciding who you are: the father, or the son? After this you get to name your relatives and you move on into the beginning of the game... And although it's going to seem linear to you at first- this game really differs from its cousins in that it's not linear and you really need to mind what you do because your decisions are going to matter more and more as the story progresses. You can't be too reckless, the porn is not easy and maybe this isn't exactly for everyone.

But is it satisfying-? Is the porn good? Are the characters interesting?
Hell yeah! Give it a shot!

The game doesn't have a lot of content now, but the dev really does put out more by the month. There is sex in the current release and there's foreplay in earlier versions too, so no blueballing here (thank God) and he even tells you how to get his newest updates without paying for it if you're really skinned for cash. Personally, I think he deserves a little cash. I've got a lot of confidence for this game and I highly recommend it if you like interesting characters and a well-written plot.

Hey everyone! It's been a long, LONG time, hasn't it? I apologize for not updating you for more than a while.

However, I have been keeping busy! The most recent installment, Act I - Part VIII, is finished and available now for patrons!

[Act I - Part VIII] Regular Edition!
https://gamejolt.com/games/dualfamily/266449


The free release of the last installment is available on my Game Jolt page if you're interested:
https://gamejolt.com/games/dualfamily/266449

As always, if you don't mind waiting for a few weeks, the free release will accompany the new installment next month.

If you haven't been keeping up the the development, there's quite a lot that you missed! Here's a couple previews from the story parts that you might have missed...

And now here's some previews of the latest installment, Part VIII! Check them out if you don't mind spoiling yourself.

THE SON

  • Night/Master segment
  • Dream Nude A/B segment
  • Kitchen/TV segment
  • Mall/Movie segment
  • Night/Bedroom segment
THE FATHER
  • Brief Night Segment
  • Dream Nude segment
  • Roam/Kitchen segment
  • Mall/Movie segment
  • Sunset/TV segment
The two secret items you should look out for:
  • A Dial
  • A Lid
Not familiar with secret items or the new UI from last release? Play the tutorial at the start of the game to find out everything you need to know! You can also choose to skip to a story part if you select "No" when prompted to take the tutorial.

If you encounter a crash that reads "l_name or a_name is not defined", you were subject to a faulty patch I made from the previous release and that save file won’t allow you to advance. To fix the crashing now and for future releases, start a new game and skip forward to where you left off using the ctrl key (parts of the game you haven’t seen yet won’t be skippable). If crashing persists or you encounter any other game-breaking bugs, be sure to let me know as soon as possible and I’ll patch it accordingly.

Enjoy!

Yes, absolutely! At the moment, the story is more focused on the primary relationships for each campaign (M/S and F/D), however there are inklings of progress with the cousin/niece and sister as well. They will receive more attention over time and eventually have a proper arc/ending, but the primary relationships that the game is built around will get their screen-time first.

The official android build is coming soon, this month! Part X got somewhat sidetracked due to revisions that I had to make for Patreon, burning a good two weeks this month. You can stay updated on my Patreon developer page where I post picture previews, patches and development progress!

Hey, just thought I'd take this opportunity to mention something incredibly minor and trivial which has been bothering me for a very long time: can you do something about the texture of the steaks during the dinner scene? They're so smooth and shiny they look like they've been shellacked. It's gross.

Noted! I'll try to make them look a little less outputting in the future -- I'll keep it in mind when I finally get around to cleaning up scenes from previous parts as well.

Thank you much for the kind words! I'm pleased you think that way about the characters, as making them feel valuable/empathetic has been my goal throughout development.
Yeah, she's a fun one -- I personally enjoy the contrast between her interactions between the two player characters, one being bossy/playful and the other being humbled/sincere.

For you questions:
1. Yeah, that's all he has so far. He hasn't had as many opportunities as the younger kid, but he'll certainly have more options in Act II now that he has established many relationships + will make new ones in the setting. Hang in there! :]

2. That would depend on the length of the next two acts -- I'm undecided if I'll do ten parts for the next two since most of Act I's early parts (Prologue-V) are pretty short due to dev constraints. It may be fewer but longer parts, but I'm not sure how it'll turn out yet. Regardless, I'd say it's probably another year or two maximum before the entire story will be finished, however that absolutely doesn't equal waiting that long for sex between the main two pairings. Now that the actors and relationships have been built, Act II will start to venture into the more physical/romantic side -- if so desired by the player.
Is the android version of act 1 - part 1- 9 is free when released?
I haven't put out a free android version as of yet, but there's a free download of all previous parts on my GameJolt page. I've also finished my official android version, complete with new futures like hiding the quick menu, hiding the dialogue box to view the screen unobstructed, story skip, puzzles and more! You can get it on my Patreon page, however I'm not allowed to link you to it directly due to their ToS specifics.

Hi there everyone!! Just wanna know when will be the release date of act 1 part 10? Tnx :D
The next update Part X is still being worked on -- I avoid exact dates since I'm bad with those! My P. development page (can't link it due to ToS, google my name instead) will always be the first place to hear from any new developments/updates/previews of the game releases. I've been writing out long-hand, traditional development updates on Part X and my website every week, so that's the best place to follow the project!

Hello, is there a Spanish version for the PC Dual Family game?
Not at the moment, however it is certainly on my agenda! After I finish the Act I finale, which happens to be the next release, I'll be refining some elements of the game's first act; translation is something that I can implement without costing my personal develop time, so there's no reason for me not to. Resolution, grain removal and translation are some of the brief improvements i'll be making before jumping into the story's second act.

I doubt it but who knows, so far there isn't much to this VN so it's anyone's guess as to whether or not that would be included. I'm sure if you donated money to his patreon then he might consider it.

New updates coming

...wut.

Uh, this game is a scam. Gumdrop has been milking his idiot supporters (the ones who didn't wise up and quit anyway) for well over a year and a half without releasing a single fucking update (apart from releasing a Christmas special episode thingy), just putting out from a few pointless teaser images and hollow "Still working on it" promises because he's realised he can easily just sit on his ass and collect almost $10k per month for doing absolutely nothing. This Steam release is the same game he released in April 2018 and he has not done a single fucking bit more work on it since then . And now he's started selling the fucking thing on Steam for money, except he's announced that Part X ("the finale for Act 1") will be released and sold as a separate release. And then he's supposedly planning on releasing 2 more Acts, also as separate releases.

Gumdrop is a shamelessly lazy fraud.
