I have really weird problem. All the extra scenes are just gray boxes eventhough i downloaded the full game with extras and even the extras alone but still cannot make them work. I really need help on those
Sounds like you have a bad download or your extractor is not working as it should.

Try 7zip to extract it and see what happens.

I've DL the update from V0.12 to V013 and it didn't work, then I DL the whole game (incl. extras) and also that didn't work.
I've unzipped now second time, before I noticed that the whole images are missing. The dl-file didn't contain any images, so it can not work ! Installation description is wrong. I think we have dl the images separately. I'll try this now.

I downloaded the one for MEGA and it had everything needed to run the game.

I remember reading few pages back that the game dev said that D is also an MC and he does have a point though. You do gain control of Daughter in some small parts of the game and have her choose her decisions and same with Elena as well. You do play them physically at some point in the game. I hadn't thought of them being MC's but when I think back on some of the game scenarios there are points you take control of the daughter and Elena.

MC to me is a person who is taken by control by the player and that player chooses choices or actions for that person. So ironically @Aitan_3 is correct in saying that the Daughter is kinda an MC to some degree based on that definition. It reminds me of Witcher3 game where you play as Geralt 90% of the time but in some parts of the game you take full control of Ciri as well. To play her story. To me that is an MC played :) . Would be nice if we get the chance to play more as the daughter over time. In fact I see great opportunities for that in future.
I see your point. And indeed we can control the actions of D sometimes and it is not bad. But when I play a "romance" game where you have dates with your partner, and try to get sexual with her, I like to completely immerse myself in the MC role, so I like the other characters to react to my actions and choices, I don't like to directly control them in the game, it feels more 'real' to me. That's how I have fun!

Yes, I've also DL Mega (both: upgrade and later complete game, but there no no images in the complete game) I cannot say, if that is the same with the upgrade, because there is a images directory from v0.12. Starting this upgraded version stops after day 12 and says: end of this version

I started this game using v013 so have no experience in upgrading the game.

There was a new act of sex. She had an orgasm from her dad. That was amazing and if you knew what it meant. I mean it is a massive leap in sexual relations. They will not stop now until they have full intercourse.
I agree - and agree from a guy's POV when I was younger. That first orgasm and with a dating significant IS relationship defining (or at least it was for me). Then everything that follows seems to happen spontaneously and naturally without prejudgement or expectations (again, at least it did for me). Like a slippery slope, one just slides into different forms or physical congress as a new couple - and vaginal intercourse, even with taboos, is easily agreed to (well, not openly, but tacitly when both partners allow it to naturally progress that way from some other sex act). Oh, to be young again.

The day count reflects the actual days the mcs have spent together, not how many days have passed from their first meeting. Where dad lives, in-country flights can be bought on the same day of the flight (I think that happens in most countries actually). The trip to the beach took only a couple of hours by flight, so going back and forth made sense (people do that all the time in Italy between Rome and Milan) Mistery resolved?
In my country - you can get flights the same day except when it is the holidays and (as I found out once) when you are flushing from a city whose nationwide business conference is ending that same day.

You thibk thats fucking stupid, i dont think so, other people will agree or disagree, thats life. Also, i have stuff to do, cant talk with you anymore, bye!
Interesting as it is my understanding that MrDots came into this game with coding and renpy being his biggest experience and background. It is my impression he was more experienced there than in rendering. We will see what we shall see - but he's been consistent with his promises so far.

You need to have the daughter take the self-defence course.
Actually, you need to have the Father agree to sign up the Daughter when he is at the police station. In the coming updates the Martin path will be there so you don't get stuck no matter what choice you take.

Doing a phd in literary criticism mate. ^^
You can do a post doctorate article on comparing and contrasting erotic computer literature over the decades.

If dots was being honest, he would have included a NEVER option or at the end of chapter 3. Since its the end of chapter 1, he can go look at the poll, the fans want character arcs!

He either is incompetent, or doing some grubby milk tactic, or just trying to complete his vision of the game without too much concern for the income (which I can respect). Once again if he wanted an honest poll he would have included an option that scrapped the character arcs.
Ooh ohh! I chose "he's meeting his vision" choice as that has been the tenure of his posts all along.

If i remember correctly if you turn that class down the Co worker dude (Martin?) is supposed to help you somehow with that crazy dude. But as far as i know that path was not build upon in this version hench why alot of people got a game over route and has to backtrack or start over from the start.
(if someone want to correct me on this go right ahead)
Okay just checked myself and its not the self defense class, its when you get the option to go the police or not and the walkthrough says this.

-Go to the Police: Dad will go to the police to file the report against Lucas.
- Don’t go to the Police: Dad won’t go to the police but he’ll ask Martin for help against Lucas
So yeah. Take what you want from this.


Oh she does.. bam!
Martin path is coming in the couple of releases is my understanding.

Ironically that's what he was saying. That MrDots was extremely skilled at coding and he will come through with the update in maybe 1 update but of max of 2 for the Career paths / fixes to be done to Chapter 1. ;) Don't need to open old wounds. I was saying I doubted that update would come with such ease and speed. But as you said "We Shall See". He was actually angry at me.

Wow - so much emotion. The game is not for quick wanking. It is a story. It takes time to unfold. There are some issues I am sure, but is it bloody excellent. For me it is one of the few that even tries to see into the female mind. I get it that girls are objects...sexual objects...for a lot of guys. Men are often that way for girls too. The number of stories that have a female perspective is tiny.

So if you don't like it, or you see an issue. Then make your point. Stop hogging the space. Others like the story and did not count the days (I didn't and I have played it end to end several times). Now I have my version of the storyline saved and it is important to me for my enjoyment. No more noise, it is beginning to ruin it for me. Thanks
Good to hear your approval. I pulled multiple articles and testimonials of ladies and their orgasms, what they find attractive and exciting, and posted them and sent them to Mr Dots and his team of (male) writers. I hope it paid off. The writing team has done a lot of their own research (from cooking to yoga) and it appears to be paying off. Thank goodness for the Internet - makes it much easier.

Several of us in the DMD meta discussion thread agreed that this story would be more compelling if D was the MC.
However, so many players seem to want to "become" the MC. Since the majority of players are presumably male, this leads to so many male MCs.
It would have been a treat to have D as the MC...
Even if not the MC, as I have said many times before, D is a protagonist - and could ultimately be more,of,the main protagonist than the MC by game end.

It would surprise me if Lucas does quietly disappear. He could pass on his suspicions of the F/D relationship to his brother, Richard. Blackmail--possibly a nude photo shoot--could follow...
Great idea! Cops don't believe Lucas as he is an attempted rapist - but would Richard start to believe his brother ... and do his own "snooping" - you have a diabolical mind.

Where is the invite for the self defense class?
On Day 10, MC is at the office helping out Martin. MC gets a call from the police who want to know if he would come to the station. When he goes to the station to make a report, he is asked if MC would like to sign D up for a self defense class. Say yes and the code point is set.

Wo
I consider both of them MCs. F is the point of view, which does not mean he is the only MC. Gatsby is arguably the MC of the great Gatsby even though the narrator is someone else. I would also argue that Gatsby is so fascinating precisely because his story is narrated through someone else's eyes. And I guess it works the same way with D. Part of her appeal derives from the fact that you see her from the outside, as a free agent partially independent from players' choices. My two cents.
Word.

For me a female MC is a turn off. I wouldn't play DMD if D was the player character. It happened to me with Flamecito's game "I Love Daddy", I only played the first version of it, it had a beautiful female character, good graphics and a story similar to "Dating My Daughter", but the MC was the girl. So I lost interest in it. I don't even know if it is still in development. I suppose I'm not the only one who thinks this way.
I agree. As a dude, having the MC be a dude fits more with what I, as a dude, want to look at. (Especially as this game is visually so first person). However, I have no,problem with D being more of the protagonist. The really great protagonist first (or third) person games I love, but the coding of them can get very complicated and require a team (I.e. the Bioscape series or Hard Rain).

Elena gave D a necklace to wear BEFORE they went to the casino. D has now lost/misplaced TWO necklaces...
LOL - neclaces are either D's or MrDots Achilles' heel.

For me it was game over after Lucas confronted daughter, I even played it three times to make sure if i didn't saw some other possibility other than go to store to pick up things for lunch... (SPOILER ALERT) After Lucas came and dropped top of daughter game ended and i was able only to load old save to continue it, not like when i ended 0.12 where the screen with coming soon pops up.. If someone has Day 2 save with rejecting photographer i will be more than thankful to you <3
Go to Day 10 - go to the police station - accept the police technician's offer of a self defense course.

Don't do that to me brother :D I hustled 5 days to get to the point where I am right now, I'm hardworking on some programmes for my company so I don't have much time daily to play it (but when i have it i enjoy it alot)
AND don't get me wrong, im not some perv old man playing dmd, im 22 rn just to be clear (some people take to many sentences out of content :D )
LoL - When you get older you will realize that life is not lived differently based on your actual age, but based on your imagined age. I think Hugh Hefner may have said that.

SORRY FOR THE JEFF STEEL HOUR - was away for several days and replied to several days of posts at once. Now off to see what I missed in fan art. You fan art guys are ridiculously fabulous.
