Georgina at ending... Lol!!!
What a cameo!! I knew i recognized her!
Now I'm even more inlove with her, but kind of sad she won't be showing up in the other game. All the more better, but i AM deadly curious as how she would look in that game...

But yeah I didn't kiss D but the game read that I kissed her kek!

still, Georgina is best girl.
:KEK:

Don't know if MrDots is on here or how to contact them but I think there are two problems with the latest release:

1) If you look at "day_39_00.rpy" in the "game" folder (can't recall if it's already visible in the standard download or if you have to unren the *.rpa files and decompile the *.rpyc files) we have:

Line 6111: if v_day34_margo_threesome:

As it stands if you're on the Margo path (had the threesome on Day 34) and the daughter interacts with her in the park but doesn't accept her party invite (foursome option) after the MC has sex with the daughter at the apartment later the discussion switches to assume you they accepted the invite & went to the party.

I believe this should be:

Line 6111: if v_day39_margo_party:

The Margo threesome option remains set and no mention of the party aftewards.

2) The walkthrough correctly states that if you're on the Elena or Jennifer paths one of them will call you after Georgina visits the daughter in her hotel room. It also states that additional scenes are planned for Elena+Jennifer, Olivia and Margo in a later release and only the Elena or Jennifer ones are currently implemented. If you're on any of the additional paths it's probably best to save after the MC says "Bye Georgina" when she's outside the daughter's hotel room as the next jump is to "label lb_day40_call_girls:" if the Elena or Jennifer options are set as the calls happen before the scene where the judge tries his luck with the daughter. This is probably where the check for the Elena+Jennifer, Olivia and Margo options takes place in a later release.

The problem is that currently the Elena option being set (v_day28_elena_threesome) overrides any of the others as at the end of her call it jumps straight to the judge scene. If the Jennifer option only is set (v_day0_jennifer_reject == False) then it bypasses the Elena call. I don't know if this was intentional because if your were a gigolo and were also on the other three paths you'd never see their calls if they were implemented currently.

If you were acting the gigolo the only the combinations of MC + daughter/Georgina/Cassandra + 1 of Elena/Jennifer/Elena+Jennifer/Olivia/Margo would work.

Edit: From a post below it looks like You are one of the writers for DMD Jeff Steel - thought I'd bring this to your attention to comment/pass on
Just checked the latest version for these two issues:

1) the "Line 6111: if v_day39_margo_party:" change has been made (y)

2) The additional scenes planned for Elena+Jennifer, Olivia and Margo in a later release still aren't implemented - I guess they're due in the final revised version to be released later this year.

Also, if you had the Elena/daughter threesome (v_day28_elena_threesome) and were also on the Jennifer path (v_day0_jennifer_reject == False) this is still bypassed as mentioned above.

If you're curious, the check is made on line 2059:

"if v_day28_elena_threesome == False and v_day0_jennifer_reject == True:"

and the additional scene options are decided around line 2507:

"if v_day28_elena_threesome:
jump lb_day40_f_elena
else:
if v_day0_jennifer_reject == False:
jump lb_day40_f_jennifer
else:
jump lb_day40_d_solo"

"jump lb_day40_f_elena" is where it will bypass any Jennifer scene (and any Elena/Jennifer, Olivia & Margo scenes if they were available).

Note that the Elena/Jennifer scene is implemented - but you currently can't get to it as there's no "jump":

Day 40, Line 3582: label lb_day40_f_j_e_sex:

I assume this is all going to be corrected in the revised version. If you are one of the writers for DMD Jeff Steel can you confirm this will be the case?

If so I'd still advise on keeping any existing saves for Elena/Jennifer, Olivia and Margo paths and not progressing them past the "Bye Georgina" after she comes out of the daughter's room and talks to the MC on Day 39. Having seen the latest walkthrough I see it is indeed the case that these scenes will be added later.

Version: Chapter 3 v0.28
Man, I don’t know why you don’t do it like other developers, it’s releasing updates but in the same package.
This scheme of downloading each separate update takes all the effect out of the game's history, because whoever has not played and will play has to download all the separate parts, this is horrible :WeSmart:;)
Chapter 3 is already up to 4.44GB and it isn't even finished yet. The December update will be adding different endings and 13 additional sex scenes. In total, all three chapters are currently up to 10.95GB with more to come. Then there is Chapter 4 making it even bigger. Do you want to download the whole game every time just to update it every couple of months. The current plan makes more sense as it lets you download the game in manageable parts.

People who do not pay for this game shouldn't be making fun of it, you can point out some errors or give suggestions, but when you talk more than the actual donors when it comes to criticizing the game makes you sound pathetic tbh.
This is a terrible take and allows echo chambers to form. People can criticize whatever they want. Whether it be movies, games, books and anything in between. This idea that you need to pay for something in order to criticize it is one of the most childish and backwards things I've seen on this site.

On day 32 I took daughter's choice of bikini because the walkthrough said ...

"If you choose “Daughter’s choice”, then D will have a better chance of winning the competition (she will win the bikini round)."

... but D came 2nd in the bikini round?!

Is this a known bug/issue? I read the last ten pages of this thread but don't see anyone mentioning it.

My guess is that there's some serious reverse-plot-writing going on here.

As noted in the changelog, the developers originally planned the story to end with Chapter 3. Presumably this means the modelling competition would have been the big climax, and D's success or failure in the competition would determine which ending(s) you got. But the decision to continue into chapter 4 changed all that, because the fork in the plot caused by the modeling competition is so huge that you'd essentially have to develop two games to keep both arcs going.

Nope she ends up a model, its confirmed via his other games... so the "canon" ending is she becomes a successful one and doesnt walk away from her dreams for good. Its just being delayed how you actually get to that point - to NOT have her end up a model then he would have to rewrite his other games not just this one lol.

There is a thin line between productive criticism and biased opinion..And no you can't be asking from the dev to include or exclude something from HIS game and create something to your liking simply because you have the power to post a comment for free here..The reason why the creators are ok with their games to be posted here is because of the promotion that they get then we must play the game ( i usually play 3-6 updates for free ) and if it is to our liking we subscribe to their patreon etc , if not we move on to another one..I get that you get all of your movies , games and books also for free ?

In the other games it may have been implemented this way because the decision for ch4 wasn't made then? So Exanadae could still be right. And even if not, I don't think there was or is a plan to create a whole universe ^^ And even if, which of the well-known universes are always consistent (time travel, time lines, etc.).

This is something I've been thinking as well because, at the end of the day, no matter what path you follow, she's currently having a sexual relationship with her father and they intend to marry and have kids. If D becomes an internationally renowned model by winning this competition and gaining lucrative modelling contracts that propel her to stardom, then that taboo relationship becomes harder to hide. Whereas if she loses and fades into obscurity, then it becomes easier to continue this relationship outside of the watchful eye of the press and the paparazzi.

However, this all assumes that she has to becomes an internationally renowned star, but she doesn't. She can win and still see the ugly side of modelling, then decide to just remain a small-time model operating out of Seaside and maybe even set up crowdfunding profiles on parodies of OnlyFans and Patreon. This allows her to still have a private life whilst being a known personality in certain circles.

So I do somewhat think they changed this from D having a chance to having no chance to win because they weren't certain how to navigate her potential public career with her secret, taboo relationship(s).

Nope she ends up a model, its confirmed via his other games... so the "canon" ending is she becomes a successful one and doesnt walk away from her dreams for good. Its just being delayed how you actually get to that point - to NOT have her end up a model then he would have to rewrite his other games not just this one lol.
But this is what they mean by "reverse-plot-writing", because SL may have shown she would become a model, but then somewhere between then and now MrD changed his mind and thus changed the planned arc in DMD.

Nah what im taking it as is there WILL be an ending where she becomes a successful model with D in tow... this is the "canon" ending. Melody had loads too including ones as well with all the different girls never mind her but of course those are not considered the "canon" endings as we know she became a success in the music industry based on other games. One had Melody as stay at home mum never making it big in the industry.

To reverse write would be come end of chapter 4 there is no ending offering said "canon" events in the future but thats a long way away and i dont think for one second MrDots is retconning the interconnectivity of his games on a whim like this, its just not the simple path to said events that many of us assumed was going to be the case (or perhaps it will be and the rest of the update in december offers the alternate path where not kissing = no evidence and she wins the competition)

Except that we have it on record from Discord that she was never going to win the competition, no matter what you did. They might change that with the December update based on the feedback they've recieved, according to Jeff Steel, but it still might not happen.

I found a strange bug in the script: after the night of day 40, when Elena (or Jennifer) leaves the MC home, there are the thoughts of the MC for both of them separately, like they were there one after the other. Same happens after the bikini contest, when D asks about them: first asks about Elena, then asks about Jennifer, even asks about both of them, in one continuous flow.

All opinions are biased. And yes, you can ask the developer to include or exclude things from their game regardless of if you pay or not. That doesn't mean they'll listen but that doesn't stop you from trying. Most big reviewers get their games for free from developers. They don't pay for the games and their opinions hold so much weight that sites are constructed to catalog those reviews and scores. What constitutes as constructive criticism varies from person to person. Someone saying the game sucks without elaborating isn't going to hold as much weight as someone giving reasons. But many people here have been giving reasons why they dislike the current update and what they'd like in the game.
BTW, you can't call it HIS game when he's asking for money and holding polls on what content to include. Especially when the game as hijacked from the original ideas by people. It was no longer HIS vision when that happened. It's just a bastardization made in the pursuit of money.
