2 months later?
I hope that Coco event is still on if we wasted so much time skipping it.
Coco was the only thing that caught my eye.
Also how do you get those tickets?
Even with a walkthrough mod, I wasn't able to get them.
Why are we skipping time anyway.
Someone wants to rush to the end of the story quickly.
@ months without seein Rachel, bummer and Georgina.
They're not getting any younger you know.

Does anyone know how I can fix this error, It happens the moment I try to run the game can't even get to the startmenu.

"
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
File "renpy/common/00start.rpy", line 274, in script
python:
File "renpy/common/00start.rpy", line 274, in script
python:
File "renpy/common/00start.rpy", line 278, in <module>
renpy.call_in_new_context("_main_menu")
NameError: global name 'name' is not defined"

there's more to the error but I don't want to make this post too long

You can win them at Cupid Night.

Install Lain's Mod it's the best WT mod.

while playing either DMD and sunshine love, everything i read just bores me. and this has been going on for a long time
i wonder if things were better during chapters 1-2 and when i was playing melody, because i remember liking those games 2-3 years ago

It looks like game took a huge step backwards. Last year D won't be a model, she settles with MC and they live happily ever after. Now the second round of modelling began, the same antagonist return, everything is back on track. And that twist with pregnancy... I want to ask devs: why are you made that choice with morning pills if it has no meaning? And why are we all need that so-close-to-final chain of events in Ch3? I totally understand those who shout about milking, it looks exactly like that (my opinion is different but it doesn't matter).
Another thing I don't get is why antagonize Georgina and Jennifer. OK, it's important choice at the end of Ch3, but why it must exclude another person? Following the common logic, it doesn't matter who got in bed with MC and D on island - Jennifer or Georgina - it change nothing relationship-wise. If it was Georgina, then Jennifer is still fallen for MC, for her nothing changed. If it was Jennifer, then again, for Georgina nothing changed, she's still with MC and they still going to move in. If devs wanted to exclude someone, why not Helena? The same logic can be applied to her.

Jeff Steel, I would be glad, if you answer my questions.
Right now the pill choice does have an effect. In essence, if she did not take the pill, then she absolutely will become pregnant - I was not on the loop of the negative doctor test but it leaves two options - the first I like and the second is a possiblity:

1 - the doctor's test was wrong - this is what is called a "high-dose hook effect" or "prozone effect" - it happens when a test is too positive. It is cause by having too much human chorionic gonadotrophin in your system. The high levels of HCG overwhelm the pregnancy test and it does not bond with them correctly or at all.

The hook effect is more common when you're carrying more than one baby. This is because each placenta is making this hormone to let the mother know that they're there.

Thus I love this option.

2 - The other option is the game promise that a "skipped pill" in Ch3 results automatically in a pregnancy in Ch4 uses the "Final Destination" Kismet concept. Thus it is ordained.

I like the first option.

As for Georgina/Jennifer, the plan was always to make them mutually exclusive. In Ch3, depending on who put in a spy camera system, that excluded the other person. You could McGyver the system by toggling both ladies to "yes", but beyond that work around, the game was designed to exclude one.

I have mixed feelings about this because I like both characters - perhaps more than Elena - but only by a little bit.

As for the modeling issue - the goal was to get her back on the modeling horse but in a way that reflects more what many models are doing recently due to the rise of social media and rise of influencers.

Honestly, I dunno what everyone is complaining about, this is a great update. I was worried too after she lost but this update left open all kinds of possibilities on the D+G+MC track. Thanks to Koko the modeling thing is still a go and that leaves all kinds of possibilities, especially as they build a permanent family with Georgina as 'Mom'. Great job Dev! Dad starting a new Agency with D and Cassandra was a great idea ... too many people are starting to know their secret though ...

downloaded it from mega.. unpacked it and put it on the desktop. did not touch it and about 2 hours later my anti-virus started flagging files and began removeing files from the folder. insight network threat.. did not touch it. whats up with that lol
I did not have any issues with my AV suit and don't know why you got an alert ... but its a good idea to never over-rule your AV software. Always give it the benefit of the doubt. I would download it from a different provider and try again. GL!

Mine neither. Played this game since it came out. Chaps 1-3 great then dev updates renpy and that's me stuffed. No way I am buying a new laptop just to play a game either.
There are two executables offered now:

DMD.CH4.exe (64-bit only)
DMD.CH4-32.exe (for those running 32-bit Windows)

It sounds like you (and some others) have 32-bit Windows installs and need to run the latter game programs.

Nice update with a lot of sex for the MC. I thought the daughter would get pregnant, but I was surprised by the test result

It shouldn't be a surprise that D is back on the modelling gig since she is confirmed to be a successful model in Sunshine Love. The way they did it was convincing. Of course she would listen to her idol's advice, especially when she went through a similar event. We also saw that in Melody. Also, I cannot wait to see Tyra get taken down like the bitch she is. The Georgina/Jennifer split happens all the way back in Chapter 1. You can cheat and have both open thanks to the relationship menu but that isn't how the story is supposed to go.

This thread is about the game, as it always has been.

Future noise accusing the Dev team of "milking," purposeful subterfuge, offsite drama or anything remotely related will be viewed most ungenerously by moderation staff.​

As a reminder, this was setting of expectations - for Chapter 4 - from MrDots:

...
We can’t promise that every fantasy, idea, or fetish that’s been suggested to us will make it into this final chapter before DMD ends but we’ll do our very best to cover all grounds. And if any idea doesn’t end up in the story, some of these things could feature in the many alternate scenes that we have planned for our bonus scene gallery (we’ll have more info on that closer to the end of the game).

...
For those of you who are on any of the extra paths (e.g. Elena+Dee, Georgina+Dee, Martin/F sharing), the back end of this update will contain scenes and pathways that give away some ideas of how the side characters will feature in this final chapter.

Not all of the characters from the first three chapters will feature in this last part of the story, and that’s mainly because their story has run its course for us.
However, they may pop up again after we’ve finished the story side of the game, in a bonus or alternate scene, similar to what we created for Melody.

We also have various endings mapped out and some of these conclusions may happen a few updates out from the very last version of the game,
just so we have time to fit them all in. Putting all the endings into the very last update of the game is just not feasible, as we also found when making Melody.

I don't get it, why did that goofball of an agent had to tell Tyra about their relationship?
Wasn't bad enough that by some miracle, he took the picture of them kissing or whatever was in that picture?
He made it worse by telling Tyra.
Also I don'r remember ever kissing her, but somehow the picture was taken, life is cruel tthat way.
And when are these people going to learn how to lock their door whenever they feel like doing it?
4 chapters later and they still manage to get caught. Will these people ever learn or leanr to do it at home not everywhere 24/7.

Too many?
Not enough or maybe you need to learn how to read more, some boring people can't be pleased.
That's a trend I noticed in comment section of other games here too.

Some people tend to forget what the N( novel ) in VN stands for.
DMD has 4 Chapters now so there will be a lot of reading involved.
It baffles me that people tend to forget this.
What makes it even weirder is the fact that in all Ren'Py games you have TAB and CTRL which can be used to skip dialog.

This kind of media, at least for me, is and never was about a quick wank.
For me it's about reading a story that is accompanied by visuals (that's the V part of the aforementioned N part).
