Happy new year to you and I hope for more updates soon too! :D

And if we read this post by MrDots it seems the game will continue for a while, it seems! Many were worried, I also had somewhat strange feelings after the last update, that the game might end soon, but doesn't sound like it in this post to me.
Ha! I wasn't worried, I knew he would keep this game going (or the mighty internet mob would rage for at least two days, beware!). ^^ Although I am delighted to read this directly from the source, no gossip, no mindless thoughts, no speculations. :) But I also think this will not last long. Why? It's the internet ... :giggle:

And even better, I see Margo on the image! So maybe my prayers are heard and I will se her again (as a insatiable, young girls "eating", perverted sex monster ;) )

Happy New Year 2019




Hi guys,
I’d like to wish you all a very Happy New Year!
Sadly, I didn’t have time to create an image pack
but I thought I could share this picture with all of you.
Thanks so much to all of you, for sticking with me during this pretty difficult year. Things didn’t go according to our plans but we managed to keep working on DMD and make it the way we wanted to in the first place.
As I said before, the story will continue in 2019 so there’s a lot of content left to create for the game. So don’t worry, there will be more hot scenes of D and the girls in 2019!!

So that’s it for now guys.
Happy New Year, stay safe and I’ll be in touch again in a few week’s time!
Mrdots.

We have 7 more corruption levels to cover:)

He’s not taking Patreon dues in January.
Good to know, thanks. It's still rather absurd to take an entire month off, though. People that professionally work on making games for a living and not doing it as a hobby don't even take a full month off between December and January.

He don't have a vacation at least from september 2016.So you can understand that he probably need more time.

Indeed theres lots of corruption stages left! Hope we get to see all of them! Then the game would feel really complete like they thought from the beginning, and MrDots post mention a bit that they now make the game like they "wanted"(don't know if I believe, feel some stuff is a bit shortened but...) :)

Imagine the possible harem.
We already have a glimpse.

I wonder if we can get something closer to that in Melody.

I can't imagine the amount of effort and the time they spent working each day just so they could make it in time. Also, both games have been getting a lot of great content each release. So it's more than deserved. Plus, everyone gets one month each year for holidays. The benefit from having your own business is that you know when you should and can stop for the time you want.

I think it's rather absurd they haven't taken a break earlier considering the content they make from a small team. As long as MrDot's patrons don't mind then really it doesn't matter does it?

Not everyone gets a month off but MrDots and his small team have worked their tails off so it's definitely overdue. Especially since their last update too.

In the active duty military we had 30 days of,leave a year, and we were encouraged to take that leave in a chunk of 3-4 weeks in order to get away for a good stretch of time. In addition, several of my friends teach at the college and high school level and they get summers off. There is something to,be said for being able to take a chunk of time off because at then end of,it, you are wanting to get back to work rather than feeling the time off was too short.

2019-01-02 is going to be my first day back to work since the end of November - I saved all my vacation and personal time for the month of December, like I try to do each year. Sometimes it doesn't work out and I need to keep going anyway, but this year it was truly a long break. So much more refreshing than even a full week off, I feel.

This isn't the military or public service, though. It's making a Renpy game as a hobby. Writing text, posing 3D models, and working with Renpy logic code is much, much easier than making a game in Unreal or Unity 3D, and my point is that people that work crunch hours, work from home, and work hard to meet deadlines because their jobs' and/or bonuses depend on getting the work done in time don't bail on their team/project for an entire month short of a medical emergency.

Why not just say the next update will be light because the majority of the team took holiday for 2 or so weeks and still deliver it on the monthly schedule? To further my point, the "Patreon dev cycle" seems to be perverting a lot of people's perception of the game dev cycle where they don't seem to care about the time invested on the product, just that they expect it to always be there like they were subscribing to Netflix. It's a slippery slope for both the people working on the game and the people funding them to simultaneously take each other for granted.

Why are you complaining about the "Patreon dev cycle"? He's turning off pledges for the month. Let him do what he wants; he's not taking people's money.

95% of the work on both projects are by MDots and Hearsz - Gaetano and I present 5% or less in man hours. In essence, the entire team said let’s take a break.

As for the product delivered, we’ve structured it (more or less) that each block of product is one day (DMD) or a week (Melody) with somewhat consistent product coming out of each release to match the amount of the week prior and the week subsequent. [I know that DMD broke that rule recently]. At any rate, doing a 2-week release does not fall within that paradigm.

As for taking the Patrons for granted, MDots did not and decided to cut funding on Melody for the month. This is the second time he has done this over the past 2.5 years when the last time was during the Patreon incest debacle.
