As I stated before, packing it in RAR and spliting it to parts is so much easier solution in my view. Everybody in the universe have RAR - some good souls even bought rar licence
For example Lancaster Boarding House have 6GB, yet splitted to four 1,5GB parts for easier DL. Lucky Mark have like 18GB (so much uncompressed Unity assets
) so it literally has to be splitted.

Well the parts are easier to DL but in my solution (well most big games does this) you have luxury of only one game: its in one place, one executable, no dealing with saves, more convinient. Its easier for devs too, specially in game where you choices matters and you dont need to process previous game save to the next chapter (even save might get corrupted or missplaced by user).
Idk, just not fan of a separate chapter system. All my thoughts are in posts before as others also reacted to me.

Well, for me three chapters work perfectly. no objections from me, although i have fiber so it wouldn`t be a problem for me to download the game in one piece. But the game is so damn good that i really don`t care how many chapters it has. As far as i`m concerned, he is very welcome to keep it going on and add another three chapters. It sure is my favorite game till now.

No. Each release you need to download the new version, which includes the rest of ch. 3 as well.
To forstall your "why doesn't he provide a patch?" - that takes a lot of work. It's way easier to have Ren'Py spin up a new version than it is to make a patch.

Seriously, some kind soul puts the new DMD update on the OP, you download it and play with D. Simple.
New Chapter, just put in the max stats you need in the introduction, game-play becomes less complicated.

You may be surprised how many people would have a hard time and flood the thread with questions because they don't know how to download or open a multi-part rar.As I stated before, packing it in RAR and spliting it to parts is so much easier solution in my view.

Please just stop before you make a further fool of yourself. You made your point, but at this point you're just digging.As I stated before, packing it in RAR and spliting it to parts is so much easier solution in my view. Everybody in the universe have RAR - some good souls even bought rar licence

This is made up by the devs as the months go. There is no grand plan at day1. It was split cause 'massive' download size was becomming a concurrent complaint near the end of chapter 1. Devs even tried to make it simple by the game storing variables locally outside the game-directive, and you should have seen the endless questions why the game didn't work when they just presumed it to work differently, and people copy-pasted incompatible savegames instead of actually reading the few lines at the end of ch.1. People are dumb in general (my oppinion) and if you try to fool-proof something, a bigger fool just breaks it anyways.
What you're suggesting will surely anger alot of those people as they got no clue how to do this, e-v-e-r-y month. I garantee it.
You're also shooting yourself in the foot by mentioning it's okay for Lucky Mark as it's 18Gb, but not for DMD that is currently 8Gb and nearing 10Gb before it's complete. So there is a breakpoint somewhere? Arbitrary that is YouR breakpoint. Who's to say some with a datacap don't have another breakpoint.
So please just leave it at that.
This ain't perfect, but the best the devs could do at those times. And seriously, 3x .exe's. I think you manage.

yea and when 1 package has errors needs to re-dl at least that package and in worst case all.As I stated before, packing it in RAR and spliting it to parts is so much easier solution in my view. Everybody in the universe have RAR - some good souls even bought rar licence

Further fool of myself?
I was just asking (2 posts), suggesting things (1 post) and then guys such as Corvus Belli came to clear the issue for me (1 thank you post), more people coming in to say sth and reacting. (so this post is for you)Sorry if I offended you so you feel need to react like this.
1) Reactin to people who reacts to my posts. Redirected them to my original points as they further digging in. So...there goes nothing for my part. (for example cxx, who has point that there is chance for DL parts get corrupted)
2) True you cant fool proof stuff to people. Maybe would be to hard to manage DL parts for people. But it kinda goes same way as having 3GB DL for each chapter.
3) You clearly missunderstood the whole remark I made about Lucky Mark. Its ok for DMD be big, same as Lucky Mark. I was all about that each chapter is a separate game. But not anymore since Corvus and others cleared this for me.
4) Thanks for you thinking I will manage. I have same feeling
And yeah, thats my final post on this topic. Will not react to anyone who quote me in this thread for this matter.
Looking forward to play the game
Cheers.

You and Corvus both forget 1 very important thing.Many people just want to play when the real game starts.Further fool of myself?

For me and most-this is from ch.1,but for your suprise there is plenty of people that are skipping ch.1 and start the game from ch.2.Hell,there is even people that are skipping both ch.1 and ch.2.
So the game splitted on 3 is the best thing for them.
Also just because you can download 20GB file fast,doesn't mean it works same way for everyone.There is big parts of the world that still have limitations.And they are patrons of Mr.Dots too.

Then there is the issue of traditional story telling. There is storywide drama in DMD but each chapter additionally introduces the characters to a unique set of issues pertinent to that chapter which when resolved ends that episode in DMD.
Just let yourself be entertained by this VN. However IF separate VN Chapters bothers you that much then either muddle with the coding to create a DMD opus yourself or hire a modder to do it for you.

Has anyone found been any hints about what the VN after Melody will be?
Personally I hope the Mr.Dots team sticks to their game formula, a POV from the MC and a younger hottie with a slutty bestie that the MC and the slutty BFF are slowly corrupting. IMO now that there is Subscribestar the game will not have to be so vanilla as (for me) was Melody, not that it wasn't a well designed and written VN. A large part of the speculation on this DMD thread centers around what corruption will our darling D add to her sexual repertoire.

RobZombi3 asked why the game was split up into chapters, and I answered him. It absolutely was not split up into chapters so people could skip early parts to get to "the real game". You're correct that some people are doing that, and I'm sure they're very happy it worked out this way, but that's not why it was done. It's just a happy accident.
I could do without the promiscuous best friend again; once was good, twice was fine, but third time in a row is not a charm. Obviously, being adult VNs written by the same people, there are going to be similarities, but I'd prefer one that doesn't feel like a clone in different clothes.
