Isn't it weird and wonderful that so many creative burns have been born in reaction to such mundane writing?

I think it's a beautiful thing. :D I about spit my beer out when I read that person's post.

I do hate on Dots' material a lot, but only because I got sucked in at first thinking it was really good and then it was just a downward spiral as it progressed. I actually never even completed Melody, though my last save is close to the end...I think.

The bonus stories at the end of Melody are what I enjoyed the most. The kind of things I'd like to see for DmD, but in bigger amount than what they did for Melody.
And I agree about DmD, the last updates have been disapointing, but I hope they can make it great again, and I've never paid for it, so I don't care if it lasts 20 years. The only issue, which I wasn't aware until I read it in this thread a few pages ago, is that Jeff Steele is not involved anymore in it. I don't know since when, but it's very probable that the writing went to shit after he left. But I still believe DmD WAS great, not to mention one of the first great ero-games of the F95 era, along with SS, SU and WT so there probably is a sizable fanbase (including me) that would enjoy it lasting more than planned. If they somehow manage to make good content again.
Glad you don't like SL, we can certainly agree on the dullness of this thing. I think I stopped playing it after 3-4 updates, now I just rip the CGs and the game still manages to disappoint me. Looks alright, but nothing interesting happens.

I agree with much you said here. I'm still sticking with DmD because I just want to see it through, which is why I want it to end soon. As for SL, I haven't played the past few updates because one of the updates didn't allow me to continue from my save and started me back at the beginning. At that point, I thought...no fucking way I'm going to put myself through this torture again.

Melody wasn't so bad, except for Dot's dialogue (shudder). I actually liked DMD too, until . . . well, you know.

yeah, I was actually really enjoying Melody. One thing that put me off was called the "best" ending in the walkthrough, which involved a not-pregnant Melody. I just didn't have the energy to go on.

The dialogue is the exact same in all his games, with plenty of inner monologues like, "hmmm...I wonder if this is really the best thing to do. One one hand, I'll have a nice turkey dinner, on the the other hand, the sun will grow into a red giant and ultimately kill all life on Earth. Should I really do this?"

And yeah, I'm definitely exaggerating here...but that's what they all read like. And also, the MC in DmD, Melody, SL...they are completely interchangeable and like the same fucking dude. I swear to Allah, that Dots is writing himself in as the MC in all these games.

Oh God he is writing himself in!

Actually the best thing about his games is these comments forums. There's another poster on here that wrote a brilliant thing about how he hoped the next update would have a scene where F told D about pottery, it's history and etc. The wording was just perfect, absolutely some of the best deadpan humor I ever read.

haha yeah, I've seen one or two posts like that. Reads just like how Dots would write the dialogue. Another reason why I'm still following these threads.

It's really simple. Despite all the opposition and the claims that the patrons are leaving, the truth is that Mr. Dots continues to enjoy six figure monthly support for his work of which DMD is a major factor. DMD will end when its market make sense for it to end. In the meantime, I still enjoy the VN. It was one of my first introduction to adult VNs, and all the elements that captivated me are still present.

Tastes vary.

You are right. Tastes vary and if you still like this, no problem. However, you talk about how much money Dots makes monthly as if that's something that matters. The Kardashians made a shit ton of money on their reality series. Does that mean it's quality? Nah.

Anyway...I'm not here to say you or anyone else is wrong for liking DmD or any of Dots' other VNs. I liked them all in the beginning, too. I'm just simply providing my opinion on why I think DmD needs to end and why I think Dots is overhyped for mediocrity and a very robotic narrative.

I think he meant Dots won't stop until it doesn't make enough money anymore, not that money=quality.
