Any way to replay scenes you unlocked in playthrough? without having to play again??
Not that I know of. Certain scenes have rewards tied to them. Images that you can view. But not the entire scene. It's a Ren'Py game though, I suggest you save at every major decision and simply go back to them that way.

Looking forward to D developing an oral fixation over the next 8 months... Like Mom in BB handing out 20 hummers a week.

Realistically, the casino is probably in Russia, as the Dev is Russian. I am from Vegas. The girls could be in the casino at 18 but aren't considered legally able to gamble until 21. Any winnings they got from it would be confiscated and they'd be kicked out. America is silly with its religious morality dictating much of law. Therefore you aren't able to gamble because they think you aren't responsible enough at 18, but you'll get the death penalty for murder.
Each state determines the gambling age. Some states it's 18 others are 21. Casino's that have a 21 age requirement is usually because that establishment also has a license to sell alcohol. So until the legal age to buy alcohol is reduced it is more convenient and less 'hassle' for these casino's to keep the gambling age 21 as well.

Yeah, once again. Death Penalty for murder, but you're not responsible enough to handle alcohol. America is fucking stupid. Again It's not like you can't go into the casino alone at 18. You're just carded if you're on the gambling floor. If they're going to card you anyways to make sure you're old enough then the alcohol excuse makes no sense.

I literally worked inside the circus circus for 7 years. Security loved me because I was the one selling doughnuts, so I talked to them about shit like this all the time. The legal gambling age is about addiction and a need to "protect the children". I personally find such restrictions make it more likely that your children fall into alcoholism or gambling addiction. Because the moment they're allowed to do it legally they go hard and don't know their limits.

Did you miss the part where I said gambling age is 18 in some states? For most casino's the gambling age is still 21 is because they also sell alcohol. Remove the alcohol or reduce the age requirement to buy alcohol and all casino's would probably happily and immediately lower gambling age to 18.

Did you miss the part where I said they are carding you anyways so the hassle argument is bullshit? Hostility is much appreciated btw.

If you look at backgrounds in games you can ferret out info on where its generally developed. Electrical outlets are a giveaway. and of course in America, Canada, basically large land mass countries people go to various regions more than move out of the country altogether. I think that's why its hard for Americans to understand the thinking in nations that are basically the size of states (not a put down on other nations BTW).
But again wherever D is living is fine as long as she gets more sexually adventurous.

well shit. I was so happy because I have seen that full metal panic 4 was going to be aired this spring, and now I get to see this...

ps: if he's looking into patreon alternatives, then I think that the work may slow down but won't affect the development so much. What I think, tho, is that there's something more serious behind, something personal, otherwise I think that a guy this upfront would have explained the reasons behind this.

Am I wrong, but don't most games rely heavily on models that they've bought and either used as-is or modified to their specific needs? I doubt any author would take the time to alter the models to feature geographically correct wall-plugs.

That works the other way round too. Many Europeans have a hard time understanding how much things like laws, taxation and age-limits vary from state to state.

Maybe the programmer he just hired took a look at the code and it was a gigantic clusterfuck made of potatoes and old newspapers held together by spit. Or at least so bad that it can't be fixed in a month.

Hi guys.

Today is a very sad day for us.

With much despair, I have to regretfully inform you all that DMD will no longer be available on Patreon.

Earlier this week, I received an email from Patreon’s staff, informing me that I would not be allowed to continue with the development of DMD on this platform anymore. They gave me the chance to continue this game on a different site, as long as it’s not related to Patreon in any way.

Initially, their team had planned to have my page completely removed from Patreon unless that I appealed their decision and gave a reason why I shouldn’t be banned and no longer able to create games on here. After three days, I finally received a response, where they were happy to keep my page open, but it has been at a huge cost - me agreeing to remove anything related to DMD from my page.

They have given me until Monday January 29th to remove everything that relates to the game. Otherwise, I would be banned indefinitely.

Patreon have allowed me to keep my page alive and continue on with a different project, but this time they want to make sure that there is no incest involved. I in turn have agreed to forward my new project idea, storylines and walkthroughs to them before they are published on my page.

When I received this news on Monday, I couldn’t work on the update to be able to finish it. I tried really hard, but I just couldn’t focus, given the tough decision I was left to make. So, I’m terribly sorry but I won’t be able to release v.17 this Saturday as promised.

I know some of you right now may feel cheated, angry and at a loss for words by reading this post. And you have every right to be.

Because that’s somewhat how I feel as well to say the least.

About DMD:

I’ll be moving the content to my own personal website and we will try to find a way to keep the development going.

Don’t worry, I’ve already saved your email addresses and you’ll be hearing from me soon. Even if you decide to remove your pledge, I will keep in touch with you since I owe you this month’s rewards and I plan on delivering, but it won’t be on this platform anymore.

About the new project and moving forward:

We don’t know exactly what the new project is going to be about just yet, but we have had a few ideas in the pipeline for a while now that will now be looked at carefully. Work on the new project will begin in March/April.

Before then, I’ll be creating different polls to see what kind of story you would like me to work on next.

That will give me an idea of the kind of game you could potentially enjoy and continue your interest in my work.

I’ll be taking February to move the content to my website and to respond to any questions you might have.

If you decide to leave, then I’ll understand:

I know that many of you only cared about this game and that’s why you signed up to pledge. And if I don’t continue on with DMD now and decide to make different game instead, your first thought may be to leave. I completely understand that. But I’d like to think that you all pledged because of the work and passion we put into our game every month, no matter what the game is.

That’s why I’d like you to stay on for a little longer until confirm our next move. I’ll do my very best to make it worth your while.

If you decide to stay, you won’t be charged until we start a new project:

I have the option to pause the campaign, so that you don’t get charged next month and that’s what I have already done a few minutes ago.

I don’t think I deserve to be paid if I’m not working on anything, and since it might take us a while until we start the new game, it certainly wouldn’t be fair to charge you.

Also, I’d like you to take a look at the new project first and then decide if you’d like to continue being a patron of the new game.

You the fans, are what has kept me going all this time, and none of this would have been possible without you.

Final words

I really do appreciate the support you have all given my team and I, ever since I started making the game. It has been a truly overwhelming experience and one I will cherish for a long time to come.

I never expected this game to become as popular as it has when I first began making it.

So, I’m also incredibly grateful for that too.

The one thing I advise that you do, if you have not done so already, is to download any version of the game that you don’t already have, as I will be taking those links down on Sunday as well.

I’ll keep this post alive since I know many of you won’t see it immediately.

If you have any questions to ask, I’d recommend you PM them to me, rather than post them on the wall.

Any comments or posts related to DMD after this weekend will not be answered or they will be deleted, so we can abide by Patreon’s request not to mention the game. So as I said, PM me instead.

If you prefer to chat with me via email, you can contact me at:



Thanks for your ongoing support, and I wish you all the very best.
