Taking A Break In January

Hi guys,

We hope that you are looking forward to the upcoming release of Melody v0.0.7 :)
My team and I also thank you for your patience after we spent all of November working on and releasing our other game.
But today's post is to talk about something else…

I have personally been working on these games for just over two years, pretty much every single day, without a proper break. Before I signed up to Patreon I worked a normal job, and when it came to decide to quit to chase my dream of being a full-time game creator, even then I didn’t take any time off - I started working the very first day that I signed up!
The last time I took more than a week off was nearly three years ago.
Even HearszAM, my chief writer for both games confessed that he hasn’t taken any more than four days off in a row since March of 2016!

So, as you could gather from this post so far, we wanted to let you know that once v0.0.7 of Melody is posted on December 23, my team and I will be taking four weeks off.

The break we're having is to give us a chance to recharge our batteries (so to speak) and to freshen ourselves up for when we begin working on the games again at the end of January next year. Just like with last month's update of DMD, we want to go out on a high with Melody, and we intend to put as much detail and quality into this update as humanly possible!

As I’ve said several times before, we make these games for you guys, those that support us with your comments, feedback and your kind continual donations/pledges. 2018 has been a tough year, but ultimately it has turned out to be a really rewarding one too.

So that’s it for now guys.

We’ll be looking to start working on Melody v.0.08 around mid to late January with the release in late February. I'll be pausing the pledges in January so you don't get charged during that month.

Wishing you all the best, and thanks for your encouragement and understanding.

MrDots.

Greeting all, I downloaded CH 1 from the NOPY link and in extracting it I go the following:
data error 14.5-pc\game\day_A05_1.rpa
data error 14.5-pc\game\extras.rpa
Plus it only extracts to 97%
I looked throw the forum in hopes of finding something but I might have passed it if this was a prior problem. I thank you all for any help.
I unzipped with 7zip just fyi

What farmer doesn't milk the same cow?
You milk a cow once and send to McDonalds processing plant?

Alternatively D can't handle having a child with her dad so she runs off and then 19 years later has a relationship with her daughter.

That's all of the same too, over and over again! It always ends with putting your dick inside the girl. Why not try something really unique. Something like a microwave heated up honeydew melon with a painted on seductive smile? Games like "Honeydew Melon Harem", "Big Brother's Honeydew Melon", "Anna - The Exciting Honeydew Melon", "Astrid The Warrior Honeydew Melon" ... Oh I see. This can also be reduced to simply three adjectives, warm, wet and tight.

I really wonder how the daughter will take the MC being with Jen and Elena... since we always get a game over when that is "revealed" before, it doesn't feel very positive... Now it feels like she will go crazy.... Maybe that won't even come up and it will only be like, "Oh now we can also let your friends join the fun because eh, they like me too!" and we won't tell her about the other stuff.... Thats something i've been thinking about the whole game so really want to see the solution..

One possibility revolves around D’s sweetness for others - and less on a sexual issue. Easiest to see this is Elena. On the Elena route, Elena has shown hints of growing profoundly sad. After, MC, D has more affection for Elena than anyone else in her world. Focusing on the affection and the sadness, it can be seen how D would want to reach out as a couple and include Elena into their family.

Then, to get to a co-sexual relationship, imo you have to use polyamory concepts.

Here are some things articles say about polyamory:
(1) it is very difficult and often fails due to jealousy and/or the amount of emotional work it needs for the persons involved in order to succeed - and the TIME required;
(2) being a person who likes the serenity of alone time is not helpful, obviously;
(3) it does not favor those who dislike discussing or processing their feelings with others;
(4) it is much less common than the other “non-monogamist” practice of swinging (which is more of a Margo thing) - however, one US study found that 21% of respondents were or had been in a polyamorous relationship of some form at sometime during their life (which I, JS, imagine includes dating two people at one time...maybe...as the article did not give the definition of “polyamorous relationship”)
(5) it favors those who relish social interaction;
(6) it favors those who crave sexual variety or have a high sex drive;
(7) and apparently given statistics, it helps to be a little geeky, into sci-fi, having a tech career, having financial freedom and flexibility, being into kinky sex (obviously); and being either not religious or in an uncommon religion such as Paganism, Buddhism, or Unitarian Universalism.
(8) polyamorous relationships tend to get a hierarchy in that there will be a primary and secondary ranking within the relationship;
(9) the ability to experience compersion is obviously a huge plus - which is where you experience joy and pleasure from the joy and pleasure your partner is experiencing. This could be joymofmyour partner in sex, in career, in sports, etc. (imo, parents can often exhibit greater compersion with their children than with their spouse - and, in DMD, Rachel has a very low compersion appreciation, and D/Georgina exhibit a greater compersion appreciation than Elena).

As a “happily ever after” until “death do you part” paradigm, polyamorous relationships don’t last that length of time. However, divorce rates in the US, UK, Australia and Canada run from 46% to 38% respectively, and on a carafe last 11-14 years - other nations have a much lower divorce rate and seem dependent on culture and legal issues regarding divorce (India has a mind boggling 1% divorce rate).

The polyamorous relations that seem to last longer would tend to:
- emphasize emotional intimacy;
- favor mutual reliance and commitment (you get a wider support group :) )
- and be willing to work through conflict by flexing with life transitions as key elements that help their families work

——————————

At any rate, there you go. How to mix D into a multiple partner relationship while still staying D.
