Can’t guarantee anything in particular, BUT #1 was a possible item but since there won’t be a Chapter 3 in all probability, this path would only be possible if D appears in a post DMD VN; 2&3 are likely; 4 probably won’t happen due to the dark tone being outside of MDot’s vision (and would set of NTR cries, I would suspect.) ... however, re:4, if D does appear in a post DMD VN, in all likelihood it will be sans her father if we stay on Patreon, so in some ways the an aspect of 4 will be achieved.As my review suggests, I love what I've seen so far.
Tho I gotta agree that Lucas is a pretty pointless antagonist so far (the only interesting thing about him is that he knows about the MC and D's relationship but as he is seen as a rapist madman it doesn't do much).
The emotional immersion so far is absolutely top notch. I have to admit, I'm an emotional person, so it might be easy to get to me with such topics, but still, I'm grateful for the quality of the writing. As many of us here, I was just looking for a nice fap material but the story got me so involved I cared much less about the lewd than about F & D's misadventures.
The way that both character's faults, and past makes them desperate. It's not just throwing together the taboo topics and two semi-interesting characters. Their love develops for a reason and if you're a bit open-minded on the topic you can even sympathise with them, because the other person is really what they need.
I won't even go into how much I love D's character, and how it develops. Although there's the "corruption" level, the story doesn't really make it seem like F is actually corrupting her. I mean sure, D loses her innocence, and changes a lot, and grows as a person. But for me it feels like F does all this because he truly loves her and is just trying to help her overcome her shyness, her insecurity and so on.
The only aspect where I'd argue it truly is corruption, is turning her into an exhibitionist - to a point it's okay, but I feel like it's borderline abusing her insecurities and pushing her to act the opposite way.
Currently I feel like there's about 4 ways this could develop. I'm only making my own theories, as all I know about future updates is what I've read from @Jeff Steel's comments on the last few pages.
- True corruption. F sees how D changed since they met, and something clicks in him. His "love" turns more into a weird fetish (yeah, we could argue it already is, but I truly feel like currently it's really more about love than corruption). He tries even harder to make D do things he enjoys seeing, doing with her, and he basically turns D into his plaything.
- Polygamy or polyamoria based "harem". F's affairs with Jenn, Elena, Martin, Georgina and so on finally see sunlight and slowly D accepts it and as she's exploring her sexuality she accepts the fact that it is possible to have sex with other people while you're in love with your partner (F in this case). Or on the polyamoria path, it's more like the characters develop deeper feelings for each other and they get on with having multiple lovers.
- Monogamy path. On this one, after D finds out about F's other affairs she becomes jealous, and mad, and F has to make a choice. Of course if F's been loyal this would play out differently, but it'd focus mainly on the relationship between the two of them, and perhaps some jealousy and intrigue from the other characters.
This could end up in their forbidden marriage even.
- D's discovery of self. Over the next couple of weeks D becomes more and more confident about herself, thanks to F's encouragements and as she discovers her own needs and fantasies she could also realize that she felt that way for F because he was the only person that gave her the feeling of security and made her feel being loved. She could slowly start experimenting and could even find her special one.
I know this one is a bit dark, but kind of a realistic outcome as well, as even she mentioned that perhaps the thing between F and her would only continue until she finds her own "real love".
On a side note, I would love to see the possibility for her to find another career instead of modelling, as she mentioned painting for example during the museum visit. I know modelling can be used perfectly as a corruption tool (perfect fit for my 1st point above), but having the option to not to do so, and have another alternative instead of just missing out on some content would be awesome.
I'm just throwing some ideas at the wall and see what sticks, and also create some discussion (or perhaps give some creative boost for our dear writers), so feel free to add your own thoughts.
And once again, a big thank you for all the developers and all the people who made this experience possible! I hope we can see a lot more to come.
As for an alternate career, there is so much to be done yet to resolve this VN, I don’t see the time then to also branch out within this VN. ... Now it is possible in the next VN.

I do feel like there's much more to explore in DMD and after so much quality buildup it would be a shame to end it prematurely or to rush the ending. Surely the setbacks in development don't help, like the patreon ban.
One can only hope we'll see many more chapters in the future.

Unless that's a point in time for their relationship where they are understandably apart (i.e., before a possible future reconciliation after friction or from a mutual understanding that she will try to meet the world head-on and see how that works out), there would have to be some sort of terrific dynamics at play to make her seem compelling within a new environment and among a (somewhat?) different crowd, IMHO. I would be willing to bet that many current players are invested in her well-being and the immense bond with MC that got her to this point, even if she understandably needs more room to grow as she sees fit
Honestly, I'd prefer not to see her used as a shiny lure in future works, however she might meander through MrDots' future productions. Let her go through life's ups and downs and not even as a primary character, as seems appropriate: but, give her a chance to honestly see where she wants to go and never completely lose her sense of what and who helped get her there.

Thinking about my post a couple back ... if MrDots is kicking the tires of Subscribestar but DMD as a game will cease after Chapter 2 ends this year, then is it merely a backup in case Patreon goes nuts? Because, as I anticipated above and you said: any desire to bring D and/or her timeline peers into a post-Melody game will necessarily preclude her father from being in an intimate relationship with her (or perhaps even being in the same story, just to be safe). So, one aspect of what makes DMD constantly on the edge will be gone and something will need to take its place if any characters are repurposed.
Cynically, I could offer that placing DMD at Subscribestar feels a bit like bait-and-switch, as DMD has not many installments left. Those editions could have been supported by his other per-installment payment means, so I now see Subscribestar as:
1. A way to gain more easily planned revenue for the final year of DMD, as many fans are excited to see a subscription platform being used once again (i.e., feels like Patreon, etc.)
2. A test as their future Patreon backup or to enable secondary subscriptions (e.g., as Agent Red Girl has done since her recent Patreon scare).
But, it's apparently not a platform for growth of DMD as its own game.
I feel that something should be mentioned on the DMD subscription page to make it clear that the game is in its final chapter, at the very least.

Well, they'll need something on Patreon to replace Melody, or all their Patreon income dries up. I'd expect the same kind of thing to keep going - 2 months for the new project, 1 month for DMD.

Since we are discussing ideas on VN three, who knows, but it seems the discussion is limited to characters being as “meander through” characters ... though nothing is cemented at this point.Unless that's a point in time for their relationship where they are understandably apart (i.e., before a possible future reconciliation after friction or from a mutual understanding that she will try to meet the world head-on and see how that works out), there would have to be some sort of terrific dynamics at play to make her seem compelling within a new environment and among a (somewhat?) different crowd, IMHO.

No idea yet when exactly Melody will end. I think one hope is both Melody and DMD come to a conclusion around the same time so the third project runs alone. Btw, the third project (except for DMD and Melody character tie-ins) will be genesis 8 models which opens up some textures etc that MDots has not been able to use with the Genesis 3 models. Hoping there is a demonstrable upgrade in quality.

I suppose that makes the sense of moving Chapter 2 to an engaging ending as even more of an imperative, then.
This also further solidies the notion I offered that Subscribestar is apparently not intended to help grow DMD, but was to test other (likely reasonable) business support goals.

So, a few minutes in I get the option to go for a shower .... she then gets in the bath.
I don't mean to be picky but a shower you stand up in, a bath you lay down in ..... slight difference between the 2.
