Lol, for me I could not make my way past the first novel, but I adore the HBO series. (You must understand that law school virtually killed my ability to have the focus and patience to make it through most novels anyway - which is a fault on my part but is a reality.). But I do find the HBO series emotionally engaging to the extreme.

It may be in the eye of the beholder. My wife was a huge fan of the Twilight movies, and she enjoyed them emotionally; me not so much. I adore the Marvelous Mrs Maisel series; my wife, not so much.

However, I do know my wife bristles at criticism of the Twilight movies. And I do know we have some people who criticize the different products on f95 - and some criticize so many of the different games, it makes you wonder why they are playing them anyway that they post 90% criticisms. — And some say “hey, it’s valid criticism”. — Imo, if you are trying to start a dialogue, you would say:

“I like this game for x reasons. However, here are my criticisms (and here are some suggestions and/or examples of who does it better for comparison). “

It seems to me that the more interesting posts in f95 open a dialogue about the game, and those, and we know who they have been over the years, who just throw down criticisms - it makes people wonder are those people just there to troll. (What fond memories of troll fights there have been on this thread over the past 2+ years [that’s sarcasm])

PS - for me GoT rocks!
It's engaging and entertaining to watch but if you REALLY look at the time period it's set in....Who is THAT clean shaven in all parts at that time in age lol lol

I have written for no one as doing so would take up my working time which i would have to compensate for money. Something most devs would not be able to afford. So i just give them advice. Starting mostly that sexual encounters are all about the feeling, the taste, smell, goosebumps etc. not about just yay pussy lets fuck. In VN you have the advantage to give pictures or even animations but the best animation can be increased in experience if you describe it right. And VNs live by the writings and then by the pictures and/or animations.

Same goes for characters most are shallow and only one dimensional. Making a three dimensional character is not hard but it takes time. The easiest and shortest way is to draw out fears, humor and relationships to each other. Boom you have a believeable three dimensional character. Of course you should focus on the MC first then on the main characters she/he interacts with.
For a story the answer is mostly pretty simple. Ask yourself if this would happen in Real Life what would it look like? Humor, Disgust, Surprise, Curiosity etc. All stuff you can use to make a scene believeable.
No one believes ppl just fuck out of pure plot.
As example a sister doesnt hump her brother out of the blue. Is she curios about sexuality? Is she a bitch but secretly in love with the mc? All that can make a character more believable in and of itself.

Well written stories according to my standards are
Acting Lessons
(this game should be a blue print on how to do a well written story with believable characters and story elements) You have a main plot, Side story, plot twist and a good amount of humor to make it feel real.
On top of that you have a bromance that is not only integrated into the main plot (wingman) you feel attached to the bromance even more then to a chick in this game as a male. Tradegy also plays a significant role and makes the story even more sink in.
Melody
(Where mr. Dots proofs he can do three dimensional characters well and a story that makes sense. If he keeps this standard up he will make alot of money in the future)
Akabur games
(the story is mostly garbage but the characters are well written and stay true to the portrayed characters of each fictional universe and they are good for a laugh so humor is the main source driving akabur)
Big Brother
(Story meh, Characters especially the older sister believable af. She is bitchy. in Love with the MC but her bitchyness stays up at all times. Like older sisters mostly are. ^^)
Milfy City
(Story is believable and well written the blue balling makes sense inside of the story elements. No incest relationship starts out of nowhere you need a build up and the game does it great. This counts for the sisters as the mother is just straight fucked up horny all day. Also believable if you take into a account a mother/son complex disorder.
Summertime Saga
(Not only makes the story as it unfolds for the mc sense from a fictional point of view you have characters by the mass and they all are different in their own way. The sister is a bitch but secretly loves the MC. The mother is driven by guilt and love for the loss of the father and the aunt is straight up focused on work alone by all means necessary)
The Twist
(you cant go wrong with this one. Story is funny even tough most of it is beyond ridiculous but the characters all have a different reason to have a sexual encounter with the MC something you can just suck out of your fingers. Was a lot of fun playing this one. With this you also have a lot of humor that drives the story on.

I played them all and can honestly say they do more things right then they do wrong. Of course you could improve alot by writing alone and there are more games that have a good story but when the main focus is on and about sex you NEED a believable story and believable character development.
Otherwise you just made a time consuming fuck simulator no one will think about after fapping. And the main focus is to make money of it and generate income. For that you must hook the audience with something they cannot get elswhere and that is a good writen story. Three dimensional characters and a believable plot.

Also some good games are
Long live the princess Not sure if i got the name right but i enjoyed the game non the less.
Something unlimited (Not for the story but the characters are true to their fictional universes)
Tangled up (story and characters are well written and the sexual encounters happen out of curiosity and love)
The fate of Irnia (Story good, characters good, What else you need for a good game?)

I could go on but that would consume even more of my time. I cant write all day such long posts. I got to work also ^^
But you still didn't mention any games you've given advice on

Because it is not up to me to reveal that. They write a PN towards me and i answer when i have time.
If they would want my advice in the open in a thread or post i'm pretty sure they would do so if that was their wish.
Since they didn't do that i respect their privacy and won't spill it unless they give approval which is up to them and not me.
I don't think devs would be very fond of the idea me spiling out who i gave advice in what matter and to what extend.

I don't create games nor do i have a clue on how to do so. I simply do writing as a living. To me it would be like taking glory i had nothing to do with and i think most devs feel the same. Its them who create the games not me. All i give is advice on maybe 2 or 3 scenes or maybe how to improve the story telling. Nothing to detailed or to hard to learn.
For that i can't take credit as i had no part in making the game or in its creation process nor in the thinkin process.

However i can reveal that the games i have given writing advice are in the list i provided even tough some are missing.
Which games exactly i cannot say.

To give a good example think of it as this. I write a book. My publisher likes the book but not that it is connected to me as it would ruin either my reputation or it is for another audience or for adults only.
So we create an alias and publish it over that.
I write fantasy books. I also wrote 3 Erotic Novels whith less income then my fantasy books did but they are not associated with me but an alias. So i can't take credit for my 3 books even tough im the one who wrote them.

This is similar. I cannot and will not take credits on games or even story writing i had little to do with. I give advice on how to improve and don't write for anyone in this forum.

Can i help? yes. Do i write lines or scenes? No. For that reason i cannot take credit nor reveal said devs. If they want to tell that i helped them it is up to them not me. Sorry.

and im wondering why are you doing this man? you dont make any sense. i think i know what you geting at but it feels kind of pointless i gues doesnt it? you are a writer and you write books but you told us this already, it kind of feels like you are going i circles with that info. You cant or you wont talk about it, its all good but i guess pointless at the same time. talking about it without any backup its kind of a waste of your time ofc.

Lets focus on the game and how nice it was for example to make out with G, shes awesome. Its a shame you cant just refuse D and go be a good daddy. after last update you just know it going to bite you in your ass.

Reading posts that you have done in other games as well and I have to be honest with you...I think you are just someone that likes to spout off pretending to be something and you actually aren't. Look back above at your post. For a writer there wouldn't be the spelling mistakes and poor grammar that you wrote. Writing 40 books is no small task either. From writing, editing, rewrites, approvals and cover design...You look at approx. 1 book a year, which would place you in the mid to high 60's age bracket in which don't you think playing games involving younger 18yr old girls seems a bit odd as well?

I differ from your POV on the LotR movies, however. Now if you want to talk about the issues between the Hobbit as a book and the Hobbit as a trilogy - oh my goodness, what the f.....
I made it abotu 20 minutes into the first Peter jackson's "Hobbit" movie before I left.
It's the only movie I ever asked for a refund. My logic being I paid for the Hobbit, not that abomination.

I don’t know. The spell check and wonkiness of responding on an iPad to this forum screws with my spelling all the time - and I think hemsaidmhemwasmGerman. (See, mfer!). As for age, I’ve said it before, that I expect to be playing video games by the time I’m in a rest home and instead of bingo, I hope a bunch of us are playing PvP battles. Finally, since my novel output is one every 30 years, that would make him 1,200 years old under my calculation, lol.

...to be fair, since I have nothing published in the novel side ... let’s double that calculation...

Just finished season 2 of The Marvelous Mrs Maisel - damn good stuff. Now, how to bottle a fraction of the character driven interaction and dialogue in that show into an adult game - that’s my new goal. It’s obvious why The MMM won the Emmy for best comedy.

dude that's the only game i have problem with when it comes to support. there is a lot of things that piss me of about it but all and all after 3,4 episodes let's say I'm a fan. there is one thing though that cock-block me from putting money where my mouth is....security measures if you can belive it, why? its redicilus right?
I understand completely the fact that you want protect your work and I'm fine with it but because I'm a gamer for very long time now I'm as well all over every fucking news when it comes to all big and small developers who... really are in this business just for money, and i must say i hate it. so with DfD i get the vibe squeezing everything there is and that's sadly pushed me away.

LMAO! What on earth is the purpose of this "debate" about how well the storylines in these VN's are written?

Without the included graphics which are ultimately there to depict explicit sex scenes (or at least lead up to them), ALL the storylines as written would be "junk" if they were intended to be sold as a word-only novel. You will find the same kinds of discrepancies on text-only erotic sites like Literotica between various authors there. Some authors are skilled at developing characters, some aren't, and the dialogs used by characters (if it is even included in the story) can range from outstanding to "NOBODY talks like this in real life!" criticism.

I'm reminded of storylines and the accompanying character development and narratives included in things like the Star Trek and Star Wars TV and movie episodes. The authors of these epics used the storylines to describe an analogy of the Human Condition. Every episode of the original Star Trek series was an analogy of something like racism, prejudice, discrimination, fanaticism, religious beliefs, and a plethora of others. Star Wars was not about flying through space with Wookies...it was about the historical facism that happened in humanity. The authors of these stories were outstanding at what they represented and how they did it.

But it was all lost on MANY (most?) of the viewers of these stories. They watched a weekly "science fiction" story and got so wrapped up in the "fiction" that they started attending conventions dressed as the characters they wished they could be. There's no accounting for some people's human nature.

The "games" we come here for...adult oriented sexual fantasies...are never going to win Pulitzer prizes for their "literary content" or writing skills. No one the quality of William Shakespeare is authoring them. I don't expect to find anything in these VN's that would be world record award quality for writing or authoring. Anybody who is capable of authoring a successful written story like something that would end up on the New York Times Best Seller List could tear ALL of these VN's apart with realistic criticism about the writing content of them.

C'mon. The people like me who are here as CONSUMERS of these games aren't here because we are looking for a Shakespeare quality product. And I'm over 60-years old, so if that makes me "perverted" because I read DMD (not to mention looking at the graphics content of it too...shame on me!!! :giggle:), it's no more perverted than watching Game of Thrones for the sex scenes in it (admit it...that's why many of us DO watch GOT...and why HBO keeps showing it...it SELLS).

To me, this whole "debate" here is like going to a Star Trek or Star Wars convention and trying to convince someone dressed up as Captain Kirk or Mr. Spock or the Wookie to try to "better understand" the storyline and what it is REALLY trying to say. It ain't gonna work. They won't care. They aren't there because they think the story writing and charachter dialog is Award Winning quality. You'd have more success selling them a Captain Kirk figurine and poster for $50. Throw in a Light Sabre for $50 more and they'll be ecstatic.

And if you could get Princess Leia to show up naked, you'd be golden. Heck, I might even go then.;)

Did anyone else notice that the swimwear descriptions for the photoshoot didn't match up to the actual swimwear? The 'pink one-piece' was actually a blue and gold patterned suit and the 'black two-piece bikini' is actually a red textured one-piece?

I also noticed a few mentions from Elena about doing things with her and our 'relationship', even though I'm on a pure daughter route and rejected all but D.
Sorry I didn't notice the swimwear cos I couldn't take my eyes off her tits, ass and pussy, not to mention her hair and her legs and her lips and her............you can fill in the dots

I don’t disagree with your analysis - but I do agree with a debate on writing that makes you care about the characters and care about the outcome of the plot behind any showing of sex. There are a lot of f95 games that I just don’t care about due to the writing; and others that, but for the writing, I wouldn’t be all that interested in the renders (or nonrender art).

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
