There's no way you can populate a game with characters like D and Elena and expect anyone of even moderate mental acuity to believe that they are intended to be read as 18+. I simply do not buy that. Maybe that's a defect in my own mental capacity, but I just cannot believe that the girls in DMD are supposed to be all growds up.

I've heard in the early versions, 0.1/0.2 D was full on loli. Dot's had to boob her up coz of a big backlash.

I have no problem with the age, as I'm aware that in the US, high school student seniors turn 18 or 19 in senior year? I think its 18, so D spending two weeks with F could be during one of the holidays between semesters, if that was the locale.

On the other hand, here in the UK (And dont think I didn't notice london underground signage at one point!) high school runs the five year groups of 11-12, 12-13, 13-14, 14-15, 15-16, with "Sixth Form" basically high-school operated college running the two year groups 16-17 and 17-18, though if you're not doing basic, english math IT or whatever for A-Levels, but specific courses, that's when you go to a proper college instead. Here, University is separate from college, where-as in the US I believe they're both the same, sometimes called both? aka UCLA, "University College of Los Angeles", etc.

So I can see where others are coming from.

I was there when DMD was still on v0.2 (got the game from a different website, but still) and while she did look younger I don't believe it was "full on loli". But she definitely looked nowhere close to be over the age of 18—even less so than she does in the present.

well hermione shouldn't be 18-21 but akabur gets to stay in patreon.
She looks older and possibly the pen and ink render is not as lifelike as the graphic imagery, plus you see very little actual sex. It's more test based.
If Akbar's game got a 3D makeover and included more graphic sex scenes (something that would be interesting to play) it might draw more Patreon ire.

From autopsy I know that, in fact, many native speakers make the very same mistake.. It is truly annoying, but not very unusual..
I wrote that scene. I don’t have the original word document, so I can’t tell you if the error came from me or a typo on the other end. I think I also may have submitted the scene in a pdf format.

I do know the difference between the two. Lol. And I graduated from UCLA which is “University of California Los Angeles” as opposed to “University College in Los Angeles”

That's why, proofreading is important. There was a similar mistake at the beginning of the game too. This time it was written "your" instead of "you're".

I am not a native speaker but I know the difference too, yay! But I became pragmatic with such misspellings. I just ask myself, does it kill my boner? No? Everything fine. Yes? Oh dear, I think I need professional help ;)

It's supposed to but I guess we could ask (Hey @Jeff Steel any small updates you're allowed to share please? :coldsweat:)

I just find it funny that everyone's hung up over the small and very few grammatical oversights out of the too many thousand lines of script that came from @Jeff Steel's that could have been other things that happened in development. If you're a patron, fair enough you have a right but for everyone else, unless you're contributing to the product, give the man a break. It's like President Macron's English faux pas reloaded in here...

DMD is on track for a November release. Writing with any typos is going on now.

Re: typos, there used to be a couple of people who volunteered to find typos. Not sure if they are still involved in that. I’ll pass on any typo notes.

As a non-paid game developer, my personal time in this project is not typo related but plot and writing related. But any notes I will pass forward.
