"In case anyone is wondering: NO, it is not possible for Dee to win the modelling competition. It’s intentionally set that way so that D could see how the modeling industry really is and she decides not to be part of it. The consequences of this decision will be fully developed in Chapter 4." Directly from mrdots discord.
Worst fears realized - a pity as it could have been handled better in my opinion. Why not let her win & see what unfolds in the after-party & turn down the opportunity for the career due to it. At least Cassandra & Georgina wouldn't be affected.

All that means is that ending will be resolved and developed in Chapter 4. Doesn't mean that is the only ending to Chapter 3. When I asked on SubscribeStar it was plainly said it is not the true ending.

Looks pretty definite to me; buying a house etc. Too many loose ends though. Mind the way the endings evolved in Melody anything is possible.

The pill does not equate 100% success, i can tell you that for a real life fact lol (as can a couple of my friends - we swear by NOT relying on it this day and age)
Agreed, i have two Children even though my better half took the pill each and every day, but we still love the little brats all the same :D

I hope for chapter 4 that dots abandons his release schedule and put updates out when they are fully completed
My thoughts for the last three updates, i really do hate a crippled game due to "not enough time" excuse, quality over quantity or time limits. :cool:

no need to worry - MrDots has all planned. He rather had this update out incomplete leaving open paths rather than delay for another month (which would result in a delay for other game Sunshine Love too then). So he decided to release this early and he will do a complete overhaul of chapter 3 (bugfixes and additional content) end of this year. 2021 will be first again SL and second update will be the first one of last and final chapter 4.
Sorry, i don't buy this, if he has no time to do a complete update now, where is he getting the time from for December CH3 update/bug fix, working 24/7 perhaps ?? In addition, you do not cripple a game/vn due to a release schedule! virtual suicide and loss of support on the horizon MrDots.

Probably doesnt help that he develops two games at the same time. With all this ridiculous amount of paths from this one alone making it unwieldy (how many bugs keep being added from it trying to track all the triggers so were seeing/not seeing what were supposed to on several of them) its too ambitious what he is doing and as ive said many times now it seems no one is coming out at the other end happy as a result of this regardless of kinks and desired content.

Want the F to fuck other girls? Cool, lets keep it to two or three and give those girls more content not five or six stretched too thin and blue balling the fanbase, make D a lesbian? sure but make it a couple of options not literally every other vagina in the game (at this point i think she can get more pussy than the MC lol), into sharing? ok give Martin content or Ryan or ideally the other F/D combo but not all three as its a mess. Hes extended the games lifetime because of said unwieldy amount of paths and thats fine, hes trying to do justice to fix what he has created but every update seems to add MORE. Im not sure how many paths will officially end/merge come the december full Chapter 3 conclusion but i hope its a decent amount with more soon to follow. This needs streamlined for the final chapter yet so much of these paths are just STARTING never mind ending.

I wasn't playing in the part of the game when Rachel came to town where MC and D are. In the forum I saw screenshots somewhere about Rachel saying she was having an affair with her father or someone else in the family (Back then, how was she in a relationship with MC). And that MC might not be D's biological father. I want to make sure it's true or not. :unsure:

I agree, every impression I got was that she could win, hate to say it but I'm kinda getting that game of thrones ending vibe. Hope I'm wrong. Makes it look like a lot of possibilities just dried up.

The answer to that is reveled in the current released content so it's not some left over mystery.

Is there any way to upload the Win/Linux version to Mega in a split archive?
Unfortunately, I can only download with Android in the near future and this does not work on Android with archives larger than 4 GB. :(
I am surely not the only one with this problem.

Can you use phone as hotspot to download on PC?

I doubt it. They already confirmed she had no chance at all so this whole thing was a stupid waste of time if they had no intention of even trying to be realistic. I closed the game right after the orgy scene because the entire game to me was made into one big shitty written joke. I liked the start of SL but after this... I fear for that game as well as dots has already started screwing it up. I mean the way they think people that do not support the game do not matter. What they are forgetting is where a good many of those supporters found their game before supporting it. I thought about it but I am glad I didn't now and put my support into other devs doing a lot better job of writing their VN's.
IMO is most of the world has no idea what happens in the fashion industry. All we know is what is in movies and TV shows. It is portrayed as a business full of attractive women who live a very hedonistic life style. Look at the numbers of model that get involved with musicians for example.
This gives the impression of the industry being more the Playboy mansion than Disney.
Either way it seemed that there was too much gratuitous sex there at the end.

The bigger issue for me was that no matter what you did you couldn't win and some earlier decisions were made meaningless. For instance choosing which bikini D would wear. If you choose correctly D was supposed to win the bikini contest.

IMO would have been better if D could win or lose. If the story was to get D and the others characters on their own that could have been done by simple personal choices.

That's the biggest issue for everyone; the false choices. We were told that by making certain choices she'd be in with a "better chance" of winning, but she had no chance at all because MrD had decided she'd lose not matter what. False choices like this in a game where the outcome is the same no matter what you choose are a surefire way to piss people off because you're taking control away from the player to decide the fate of a character. It also doesn't make sense because, up until now, we've been shaping a lot of how this story goes by our choices and now that control has been taken away.

I won't bother to check before December, but did they take the passage out of the WT now where is says that Lisa has a better chance of winning the contest if she chooses the bikini herself / listens to the gay couple at the beach about what to wear?

I did not mind the orgy per se, as it's an in on Tyra to lose the championship. For all I care the other models can be pimped out to Softcore Porn Agency Guy if that's the only agency willing to take them after all comes out. If Daddy Dearest does his own agency with Cassandra and Georgina with Lisa as first client we can always include Ruby though.

Ah yes, retroactive removal of a part of the walkthrough to try and hide the fact that D could have won but, for some reason, they changed that. It's like when politicians tweet something they shouldn't have, but plenty of people have already taken screenshots of it that it lives on forever.

Ruby does not want to be a model. It was pressure from her mother.

I agree with the 'false choices' comments but that was the problem with many other points. It is the speed that the ending came. Like Melody the axe came down and the game finished. Very disappointing.

That's the part I meant, yep. Obviously that should be taken out if you have no chance of winning. Wouldn't be the first time they tamper with a WT. The first edition of Sunshine Love's stated that you should go for the stars at the earliest opportunity, else you may miss out on completing the overarching task (***** Hotel) before the end of summer and lose - that passage has since been taken out.

Also, Palmer's DEAD??? :oops::(
