From a content standpoint, I think there's a good 2-3 "chapters" more possible for this story. However, one of the mistakes the devs may have made is calling them chapters in the first place, because it opens up the game/dev to accusations of milking or slow progress. Had the existing "chapters" been called "sequels" we'd be in the same boat as now, but the counter argument to "milking it" would be, "What? This is the fourth game...." Five years of development is a long time for *a* game—in the context of F95 at least—but for 4 games? Not so much. Sure, this is a semantic argument, but comparatively, look at games like Something Unlimited, which has no end in sight, yet very little actual content that isn't repetitive to the point where it actually makes a superheroine porn game with good art into a slog. That's not even mentioning some of the more infamous projects out there.... ::cough, cough:: Innocent Witches ::cough, cough::
We're also in an era of long-running entertainment IPs. I'll not bother listing studios/franchises, but 5 years for sequels (even called chapters) isn't unusual in the broader context.
All that said, I don't know how much of the dev's support comes from DMD anymore. Clearly it launched made them into big fish in this small pond pretty quickly, but they might have moved on in ways not really visible from outside. I think they could carry on with this project more or less indefinitely, though.

The dev has already said that this was the final chapter.
And the flower petal icon in the top right corner of the game, shows that it will be done in 2 or 3 releases.
So, by the end of the year at the latest the game will be completed.

IMO the problem is the dev has deviated from the corruption VN.
Now MrDots Vn are softcore romance novels.

IMO what you call a problem is none to begin with.
Calling DMD softcore is ridiculous. Probably not hardcore enough for someone like you who creates art where D is getting banged by monkeys but definitely not softcore.
Romance novels are great by the way... Have you heard of the forbidden perversion of holding hands in public?

The dev did what their paying customers wanted get over it.
I agree. IMO it was his best work to date because it was a soundly planned and completed project. A consistent story line, with a reasonable conclusion, regardless of the path you chose. I wish more of these game devs would take that strategy. I can't believe with any reasonable logic that that wouldn't improve overall quality of the work they produce.
It seems to me, without knowing anything at all about Mr. Dots or his story writing strategy, that he's painted himself into a creative corner with DMD. Somewhere along the line, somewhere around chapter 3, he made a decision to take the story off on a tangent and off that 'planned course' and now it seems he's having trouble navigating the story line back toward that reasonable conclusion.
I may be totally wrong about that, but trying to make sense of how the story hung a left so blatantly, suddenly and purposefully, it's the only speculative conclusion I've been able to reach.
En lisant certaines critiques, je me demande si nous ne jouons pas au même jeu. Chaque choix est validé par votre doigt. Blâmer une relation avec un homme noir si vous l'avez acceptée vous rapproche du bdsm. Ne pas être content d'une relation avec un autre homme quand on a dirigé l'histoire vers qui est masochiste. Sur ce site où les joueurs jouent presque tous gratuitement, l'avis négatif ne prouve qu'une chose : DMD est un excellent jeu. A tel point que vous risquez d'être déçu par le comportement d'un personnage fictif. Juste une chose à terminer, merci au créateur et son travail incroyable, et si vous n'aimez pas, partez

A. No
B. I never said DMD was softcore, but Melody and Sunshine Love certainly are.

Here, a fellow, kind user gave it to me when I asked. For some reason, it is not on page 1 of this thread.

The reason those stopped getting linked is that the game has them built into the game for Chp 3-4
There is still some data on the pdf not in the built in for why and what it may mean long term but mostly it is all there.
PEACE
