VN Ren'Py Completed Dating My Daughter [Ch. 1-4 v1.01] [MrDots Games]

[Nrg]

I can understand why alot of people are mad or disappointed, i am not a fan off MMF or NTR stuff in games i always either avoid it or don't play the game if you cannot avoid it. People been waiting since chapter 1 for the content they want, and now we are semi-close to the ending of the game and those people think ''we must be close to some MMF or NTR stuff or whatever fetish'' and it suddenly is being cut from the game.. that would piss me off aswell.

Also i think lots of people don't care that there is NTR or MMF like fetishes in the game they like if they can avoid it, but i think lots of people who don't like it think that it wastes precious developer time, that they could've put more time on a more vanilla type of scene or art or whatever they like more, so they maybe see it as a waste.

It's always ''me, me, me'' first and last

If it was so "optional", I don't see why it matters if it's removed or not outside of a broken promise, but that's not a problem with the game itself, if something, I personally think it was improved because of it.

oh really ? elena content is optional too


Can you imagine the outrage patreons will throw if they remove the "optional" elena content?

Pretty much this. A lot of games lack a lot of focus because of this.

Evidently, the difference is that patrons do like that content.

 

[bosa43]

Having optional content is ok, but having optional content that changes the whole paradigm of the game, whether it was planned or not.

Look at it this way, because of this decision I'm sure more people will be attracted to the game. If it was so "optional", I don't see why it matters if it's removed or not outside of a broken promise, but that's not a problem with the game itself, if something, I personally think it was improved because of it.

Sorry, but it sounds like you really should play the game because this doesn't change the paradigm of the game. This is a porn game that follows the sexual lives of a father and daughter. Having another male during sex doesn't change the core essence of the game, because there's FFM scenes as well. If people were asking for the game to suddenly become an open world RPG then yes I'd agree that'd change what the game is.

so the martin scenes would distract him , but you won't mention how he is working on 2 games at once and maybe that is what is dividing his focus?

I was about to say the same thing the man (team or whatever) literally completed a whole other game then is a few updates in into another game but having optional content in one game is eating up precious dev time.? Let's just be honest most of the people glad that this content is getting cut short is because they don't like the idea of there being any scenes (optional or not) of their waifu with another guy. It's that simple really.

Yeah, it would change it from Dating my Daughter to sharing my daughter. And, again, patrons seem to be ok with sharing her with females, but obviously, males are where the line is drawn. Whether you like that or not, that seems to be how it is.

Indeed, that's how it is. And I'm glad that's the case. The majority of people that actually support it either don't like it or don't care, so allocating extra effort in it seems like it makes no sense no matter how much people who don't support it can get mad about it.

Lol then it's already sharing my daughter because you've already shared her. This argument is bad a game doesn't have to follow the confines of it's title. Imagine if you couldn't shoot guns, kill people, fly helicopters or other things in the future grand theft auto 6 because we need to keep things only to the crime of grand theft auto

>And, again, patrons seem to be ok with sharing her with females, but obviously, males are where the line is drawn. Whether you like that or not, that seems to be how it is.

Which again like I sort of said before I think that's fine. If the dev wants to follow what a large portion of his supporters want I understand that but make it clear from the start that's what you're going to do. Don't start implementing it during multiple updates and then cut it short last minute.

 

[Lunamaria]

Ultimately, the decision to do this years into the project at the end is very messed up and shows a lack of conviction and integrity. If you're going to do a pure game, start that way. Don't turn a project you've already promised content on into that. Do that starting with the next game and make it clear from the start.

For the people saying the title "Dating my Daughter" means only you are dating her, that's wrong. That title can be interpreted in different ways. If the protagonist was a pimp and whoring his daughter out, the title would still make sense because someone is "Dating my Daughter". If the daughter brought a boyfriend home and the game was still from the dad's pov the title "Dating my Daughter" would still be able to apply. Any number of situations applies as long as the focus has you playing as a dad that has a daughter dating someone. The original premise for the game was the dad corrupting the daughter and whoring her out. That's what the flower petals were all about. The game got hijacked and whatever. That just shows a lack of integrity. But again, if he wanted to do this, he should have waited until his next game or whatever the other game he is currently working on.

But he's flip flopped so many times I don't see how anyone can trust him at this point.

The sweet sweet irony of the people complaining about this game not having MMF action lol. Probably the same people that tell us “ It’s just a game”, “They’re not real people, you’re too emotionally invested”.

ok ok...

So if you want to stick with the name of this game, you can't touch other girls no? It's dating my daughter, not dating my daughter and friends.


that's not an argument.

Well, it was something planned from the beginning. Personally I feel for the fans that were expecting that type of content and regardless of whether I like the type of content or not a bait and switch is never good business practice.

Ho you seems happy ? You could avoid any routs you don't like but you prefer to be selfish and have fun about other players ? Really?


So yes, you're act like a kid, dee is not your gf and you are too emotionnaly invested.

 

[fried]

I'm seeing mention of "NTR" here and feel the need to clarify: MMF was never meant to be about NTR, but about sharing. That has been debated and defined heavily for the past couple of years in this very game thread.

A sharing route simply gave D the same leeway to exercise her desires and urges by bringing in a male sex (and more?) partner in addition to the female sex (and more?) partner that the MC has allowed. It wasn't NTR, though some early debate did offer a NTR path which sounded potentially interesting (i.e., D and MC could become distanced, leading to some "dating around" situations before they came back together again) but that was never in the realm of consideration by the MrDots team - only the MMF sharing to match the MFF sharing, and the pluses to D's growth and their relationship that the needed level of trust and generosity by the MC could imply.

To be clear the MMF scenes in this chapter will still take place right just no more after that during chapter 4? What exactly are you celebrating?

These changes just show a lack of integrity more than anything else. Scenes and storylines that have been built up for years now that people were looking forward too are now going to be half baked side scenes with no follow up.

It looks like the Jennifer path will end up with us taking her virginity in a threesome? is this what Jennifer fans want or would it have been better to have her own cherry popping scene first before jumping into a full blown threesome with a good friend and her Dad.

Whether you are into sharing or not this game has become a convoluted mess, the whole Ruby storyline is a good example of how nothing that anyone says matters anymore and you should not invest any interest in any of the characters.

That whole after party scene was terrible start to finish, oh D has sharing points? lets show her playing with herself in the pool with no reaction from anyone male or female for a few seconds before moving on to something else. It was completely pointless.

I find it odd that the group which predominately believe DMD should have ended with Chapter 2 are the D only sect and now that seems to be the overriding path for Chapter 4. Let me clarify by D only I mean D with no other guys, D with no other girls unless it involves F and D NEVER initiating sex with anyone other than F.
The D sharing faction has been waiting for all of the ground work laid in the previous chapters to come to fruition and now it seems as if this was all a waste of time.
Going through the D only looking-glass will take a great VN and reduce it to just another mediocre game that ended with a lackluster finish.

 

[RustyV]

The mean girl models may get meaner to sabotage D after she now passes out at the drinking party in the revamp update.

No, because sharing sex scenes will happen in CH3, and in the future. CH4 will be focused on the girls.

Going through the D only looking-glass will take a great VN and reduce it to just another mediocre game that ended with a lackluster finish.

So if a VN includes your fetish it's a great VN otherwise is a mediocre game? Most fans are D-only fans, so you're saying to them that DMD is a mediocre game?

Numbers don't lie. Ch3 has been in development for a year so far, focused on the male and sharing paths, and very little on the other girls. Numbers for MrDots haven't increased much. If there was a fan base big enough that liked that content, then the support would've increased. It didn't.

Only when Sunshine Love got released numbers started to pick up again, which clearly shows you what most fans like: harem-based games, where you are the only male MC. This seems to happen with all the other games and that's why there's so little MMF and sharing content out there imo.

Not all paths should stay ongoing until the end of the game. I suspect Margo and Cassandra are also getting sacked.

I might be wrong though, but it's still too early and CH4 has not yet started. Things might change in the future.

I agree. Its a mediocre game. The slow burn is only worth it with a reward at the end. without that its just a slow-burn game with teasing that leads to nothing. how can that be a good game? a reward is needed to feel satisfied. the only reason I followed this game is because the TAGS when they started the game: corruption, sharing, mmf. but wheres that? very little of those 3 but plenty of cheating and mff.

It's when optional content is removed in favor of only one path that DMD suffers. Content that was given as the end game of DMD. Why have a corruption petal if all D was going to do was what is fairly mainstream sex? Corruption is the wrong term, maybe the "bring D out of her shell" petals, but corruption leads the you to think of sex acts further and further from the norm and further into fetish world.

IMO this action of not letting D become more sexually aggressive kicks the legs out of all of the effort that was put into developing D as an independent person (in the VN) and now just makes her the same daddy's little toy she was at the start of Chapter 3.

I would be just as much against removing the optional D only content from Chapter 4 in the current design of DMD . Ironically many D Only-ers feel the VN should have ended with Chapter 2.

I can see a lot of "Damn this is repetitive" and DMD "should have ended at Chapter 2" comments in the next year. And now not just from those D Only-ers.
