In this thread, we have been awaiting reviews of 0.19 from top-tier patrons (yes, those people indirectly funding DMD).
Except for the excellent renders, 0.19 was a dud. The high-light of 0.18, the Elena discovery, resulted in far, far less drama and story progression than anyone predicted. The only "fun" discovery was the Rachel/Frank relationship which featured hilariously bad dialog, and Rachel with no anus.
This next update, 0.20, could be almost anything. Studio options seem tied to patrons' feedback. Even I, lover of speculation, am lost in a tunnel regarding future DMD doings.
One interesting thing, seen very recently, is a new preview pic of Melody. Her model has been physically morphed from the launch. Back then, she had small-medium boobs and a too-prominent forehead. Now, she has medium boobs and better-shaped face. For the first time, she is beautiful. She, at least facially, has the same look that D has displayed many times in DMD.
Why now the Melody morph? If DMD loses popularity, financially, is this a repositioning of projects?
