Were there some clues that I was too dense to catch?
The first signs of pregnancy:

"It’s common to feel very tired, or even exhausted, during pregnancy, especially during the first 12 weeks or so Your breasts may become larger and feel tender, just as they might do before your period. They may also tingle. "

And what do we see from D:

Those symptoms can also be a reaction caused by some birth control pills for some women. Hair thinning can be another.
Not saying D's not preggers, but I would be surprised if the player was not given a clear yes or no choice like the other major path options in the VN. While I will play a D preg path I don't want her to becoming visibly pregnant in every path. For me this would really throw a wet blanket on D's totally corrupted slut bunny path.

IMO getting Elena pregnant will be an option too.

In one play-through I have the MC not in a relationship with Elena (or anyone other than D), but opted for D to still have a lesbian relationship with Elena at the intro to Chapter 3. However Elena never visited Seaside, so how can D become sexually active with her bestie if she never comes to D's new home? Or did I bug the game somehow?

Hmm, maybe they included it more subtle, as a tutoring lesson. Creampie a girl over and over, chances are good to make her pregnant, sexual education in a porn VN ^^ (in addition to "did I take the pill?" which she has been asked also by the MC one or two times?). I think that would be a nice change, not saying yes/no but a consequence of your play style (creampie the D)!

Freshly coming across DMD, this game have three chapters so far - all in their respected .exe? So basically each chapter is its own game? Honestly, I dont think I like this management :unsure:

It's to prevent the game from being too large for people to easily download; if it was one large game, it'd be about 8GB, and a lot of people were getting annoyed at the size when the game was about 3GB. To fix the problem, Mr. Dots decided to split the game into smaller chapters. Is it a perfect solution? No, it is not. Is it a decent one? I'd say so. YMMV, of course.

Well ok but why just not pack it into RAR, spliting it on parts and download it separately. Then just restore it in single RAR and extract. More easier to DL and still in one piece. I get it, some people have issues to DL large files. I've been there. But what is 8GB of HDD space today? If I would be playing this game, I have all chapters standing ready anyway - for when I finish up and be ready to play next chapter.
Furthermore, there is always someone who would love to create compressed version alltogether for those who don't have enough space.

Is there any chance there would be a complete version one day with all chapters together in one .exe? Maybe even some unnoficial version? I am honestly not trying to be annoying or bitching but its so much prefered option for me ...

Try harder....

In all seriousness it was a development decision not helped by the Patreon mess and I doubt the dev team will go back and change the coding
Well then my hope will go for some sort of fan complete mod. Thanks for clarification from you and Corvus...

As I said, not a perfect solution. As for why it's the one they chose, the only person who can answer that question confidently is Mr. Dots. For everyone else, including myself, it's supposition. Actually, that might be inaccurate; Jeff Steele might know, I suppose.

I get it, some people have issues to DL large files. I've been there. But what is 8GB of HDD space today?
It's a near certainty that it's a download issue rather than a storage one; as you said, 8GB of storage space is essentially negligible, but more importantly, a single file of 8GB and 3 smaller files totaling 8GB are functionally identical, in term of storage. Therefore, storage isn't the issue. But in terms of downloading, some people have issues downloading files of 3GB. The final size of this game is likely going to be closer to 9GB. Those people are going to have the same problem whether they download a single file of that size, or a collection of RAR parts totaling that size, so splitting it into parts like that isn't a viable solution to the problem.

Is there any chance there would be a complete version one day with all chapters together in one .exe? Maybe even some unnoficial version? I am honestly not trying to be annoying or bitching but its so much prefered option for me ...
It's theoretically possible, I suppose, but to the best of my knowledge, Mr. Dots has expressed no interest or intention in doing such a thing. On the other hand, it might be remarkably easy to do, and the kind of thing he might decide on impulsively; I don't know enough to speak with confidence on the topic.
I don't think you're annoying, or bitching; you're just expressing a preference, and an understandable one. Unfortunately, I don't think that what you're asking for exists, nor do I know if it ever will. I'd recommend preparing yourself for disappointment.

Think of DMD as a trilogy, each Chapter being a semi-stand alone story that merge to yield a larger opus.
Logistically downloading larger files becomes an issue. Ironically it seems to be more of an issue for us pirates.

Can someone pls explain why in chapter one the morning after the casino the Mc is forced into the relationship path with the little std ridden tramp elena (sorry if she is your favorite character but cheap and easy springs to mind with her) ? As the night before I go home with D and in the morning elena is on the couch and apparently the MC had fooled around the previous night WTF!!

But its not finished as trilogy, right? So lets say it will have a two more chapters (idk how many, still kinda thinking of give it a try so have no idea how much of a story is already in - i dont wanna potentionally spoilt to myself looking into it). 5 chapters, 5 .exe's. Thats logistical nightmare in my opinion. Same goes with the choices and save files that should matter to the next chapters as you progress.
Imagine playing Dreams of Desire with their 12 chapters each as different semi-standalone game. DL them one by one and managing save files. Sure, DoD chapters are short in general but it would make like at least 4-5 chapters alone still...

I think its a issue for all consumers (managing chapters, saves on consumer part) but I respect the developer choice to do so for paying consumers, which I would assume voted for smaller sized files. Its just seemed bizzare and unnecessary to me as there are more easy and obvious paths to split the DL load. You guys clarified much to me, well I will keep an open mind and when I finish game I recently started, give first chapter a try :)

Nope only 3 chapters to this game. About six or seven more updates till the end, expect end date for this game is 2020, so by the end of next year.
