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

[Dragon59]

I'm not sure what part of the logic you're having trouble with; on the most basic level it's "the more stuff you spend time on that I'm not intersted in, the less time you have left to spend on the stuff I want."
If we're talking about Patreons (the only people whose opinion actually matters to MrDots) then they might have decided "two-thirds of his development time is spent on content I have no interest in, rather than the stuff I'm paying him for, so why exactly am I paying for this?"
There is simply a finite amount of time he can spend on each update, and every week that's spent on the optional stuff that the majority of users will never see is pointless, from the point-of-view of the majority of his customer base. Him spending half the development time on content that only 20% of his customer base want to see would be a terrible idea, since it'd be fundamentally identical to telling them "I'm only gonna spend two weeks on content you'll see this update; that's worth two months Patreon money, right?"

You forgot two other motivations. Some players don't feel complete until they have encountered every scene in the game. They may feel "forced" to endure scenes they don't like to finish the game. Some players don't like knowing that there is scenes in a game they hate, even if they never see them. For those, the mere existence of those scenes feels like a violation.

is there a Landlord patch for this game?

Well, rather than change the game's title to "Dating my Tenant," or "Dating my College/Childhood Friend's Daughter," the team decided to take the game off Patreon. It would not be worth it to go back and make a Patreon-friendly version.

Note the word 'imo' in my post. then realize that I don't care what the majority of people may think, because all that matters to me is my opinion in that statement.

Actually that's not what you said. You said that they messed up badly because you preferred Elena. You offered two points. First you prefer Elena. Far enough thats a preference. Second you asserted that they "messed up badly". To evaluate that statement we can look at the probable differences if they had selected Elena as the daughter. That opens the discussion that I addressed.

I get that you prefer Elena, and you're welcome to your preference, which is not open to debate. Whether or not it was a mistake opens all the various concerns that caused them to pick Dee, and that is open to debate and discussion. It was on that aspect of the conversation that I called your judgement into question.

Opinions about preference are not debatable, there is no accounting for taste. Opinions about business decisions are completely debatable, because we can assess the probable or possible fallout of every choice.

Why would you want or need a landlord patch?

so that mc pays his rent to landlady with sex or other way around.

ofc plot wouldn't make sense at all after that (like why on earth mc would fly to rescue his landlady/tenant from her mother).

The dev was really thinking Elena to be the daughter.
Also at the start of the game D was not that innocent and naive at all.
But around 0.03 there was a massive change to make her personality what is now.

 

[TommyTuba]

Tastes vary, but Dee has what ten times the fan art of Elena? Plus she's been copied on multiple other games, which as far as I know is not the case for Elena. I get that you have a different preference, but numbers don't lie. Had Mr. Dots made Elena the daughter, there is a VERY good chance that DMD would have died in its first year.

I guess that’s sad but true. But for DMD, I think it was a wise choice. But I still prefer Elena! Hoping they will make a spin-off with her and Jennifer

 

[Fawn001]

Elena as daughter/protagonist? no, thanks.
As I said a long time ago, I don't like the Elena and Jeniffer model very much, especially because it seems that the body is not balanced, you just have to look at the heads that are too big for those little bodies.
If it were for personality, the model does not matter since you can give it the personality you want, as it has been possible to see the daughter in "the man of the house", where she is more open, on the other hand here she is more tender and innocent.

That a spin-off was made, I think it's good for those who like it, as they have done in "school, friends and love" with the MC's Rival, a spin-off that I won't even see.

Yes. In general, those Models (Elena, Jennifer, the girls from the modelling competition) look more like children than anything. The only exception is the Daughter, but only because of her big tits. Without those, she would also look like a child (with way too much make-up).

and others on other mrdots games. main lis are busty and side lis are less-"busty".

It will all depend on what the financial hit for MrDots team will be when DmD finishes -the cynical (re. realists) will point out that CH4 is now being extended into 2022.
Make of that what you will.

As I said, I don't care about anyone else's opinion on that particular matter. So they did mess up badly, because to me, all that matters is my opinion. I have no problem admitting my own selfish desires. Embrace who you are.

also note my avatar... <--- demon!
(this is a part of my personality which I do not apologize for. And on this forum, which is dedicated to debauchery, it runs free.)

If DMD will be extended into 2022 it is only because there would only be 2 maybe 3 updates left and that doesn't seem to leave enough time to be properly concluded.

 

[ZaphodB]

Nearing the end of Ch 3 & there's a choice between Ruby and Martin. Does this have any consequences?

As F, Martin's the only man I'd be comfortable with D, but I happen to like Ruby. D and Jen are a bit doll like for me, I prefer the dirty minx Elena but Ruby might be my second favourite and I'd like to think there'd be more of her. So disappointed more didn't happen between D & Ruby when they shared a room.
Liked Sasha as well but couldn't see anything was going to happen as she was a minor character. The orgy looked very hot but I wish the Queen's Game had been a little more racy.

I can't even recall who Sasha is. Searched the thread saw some mentions. Don't recall anything about an orgy either. Am I playing the same game? When did this happen?

 

[Jetfire616]

just started ch4 and i noticed that georgina/d threesome is locked at 'no' and can't be changed. is this supposed to be the case? because at the end of ch3 they were on about her moving in...

 

[SubtleHustle]

There should be a path where F doesn't date D.
D comes to visit, nothing happens, D leaves forever.

DMDF
Dating my daughter's friends. I could dig it. More believable. Would have gotten past the Patreon censors with that name change. As long as the friends weren't stereotypical loli.

The orgy was at the after party. Tyra, Sasha (dark hair with pigtails) and the dumb one were there. Ruby opted out. Before #MeToo I guess because being a judge at these events wass a good gig ... sadly you probably have to be a bastard. I guess because of FD's relationship their hands are tied otherwise send Hugo to the police!

even if dmd would get 10 updates more some players wouldn't be satisfied.

 

[RustyV]

It's about giving DMD a proper conclusion that ties the story together.

In the glorious tradition of:
My Friend's Hot Mom
My Mom's Hot Friend
My Sister's Hot Friend
My Friend's Hot Sister
and the rest.

That would have been the end of CH2
Somehow I don't think they will want to lose most of their 2700 members on SS by wrapping up DmD anytime soon
