1) The game is titled
1) The title is "dating my daughter", you are dating your daughter, the title is not a lie. If the title was "fucking my daughter" then you would be right. That aside, what do you mean by "exploits of woman's desire"? I honetly didn't understand that.
Okay first sentence here is valid point to a certain degree. The next sentence here I will try to explain that better. Because the game branches out far more than focusing on the daughter it just seemed a more fitting title since F in the game has the ability to get everyone in the game. With a title dating my daughter I usually kinda expect it more to focus mostly 90% on the daughter. But it doesn't and branches out too far outward. So it just doesn't feel like an actual Dating My Daughter simulator if you get what I mean. Yes there should be diversity in the game but not to the point where it makes the title not 100% true.
2) Always sorry to read that someone "hates" the fact that someone else is having success. You might not like what he/she is doing, but wishing he/she had a worse time is really sad. I mean, we are all trying to somehow manage in this world, and it is hard for everyone; if someone manages to pull out a living from something that he/she doesn't completely hate, I am just happy for him/her.
I was actually pointing out to the others that MrDots is being extremely successful and I was only showing my surprise. I don't think I stated I wanted him to fail at any point of my post.
. I was just backing up your statement and the game will continue onward as if nothing is wrong. In the dev's eyes with those numbers and graph there "isn't" anything wrong. Which is true on his end. He is solid in his pledges and growth. But for people who want the daughter only and not mess up their save, it is actually Blue Balling. The reason is you don't gain much satisfaction out of the daughter alone. I hate games that put such good emphasizes on one character that the title refers too and then put so many other characters that really don't have anything to do with the daughter in most ways and are "Fuckable". Also I find it even weirder that people play this game not to touch the daughter at all and go for the other characters which I admit has me mind blown.
3) As already stated, we are fixing the plotholes at the moment.
Yup and I am looking forward to it, but I am really interested how he is going to fix these plot holes. There can be a very simple fix just by stating number of dates with daughter which would make all timeline issues irreverent. Unless I am missing some of the other inconsistencies. But that's just my opinion. The only reason why I see plot holes and inconsistencies is strictly due to the Day Counter itself. If that was literally just referred to as Date counter then it be all good
. Also I think the amount of writers on the project is what lead to so many issues with the story. I think maybe just you or one other person should have been in charge of writing up the story. And yes I know you to be a very good writer and wish it was just you
. Being dead serious here.
4) D's naivety is part of the game's allure I'd say. Believing it depends on how much you are willing to accept "divergence" from the present-day western standard for young women. I have a cousin who is 16 y.o. and she seems as naive as D; sure, she is from a somewhat paesant Italian family, but she is cute and goes to school with other, much more experienced girls. Don't know. Exceptions exist I guess.
Is it to the same degree as D in the game. If so she may have some sort of Disorder at hand and to be honest it's very possible that prevents her from seeing such things. Even I was oblivious for a while, but it took a great amount of time to see the real things going on when I hung out with those that were very active. I should point out that many people are starting to get upset about how strong the daughter's naivety is getting and becoming more and more unrealistic and irritating. I think one person even dropped his pledge because of it. Not actually sure of that but I thought I read that earlier.
5) After D loses her virginity the story will go on, many fetishes to explore and plot points to address.
I hope this is very true but one of those fetishes I saw is "bestiality" and that scares me. I could see it in a fantasy game with magical creatures but not in a game that is mostly closer to real life scenarios. Those types give me the creeps. I do know its been stated its 100% optional.
. Which is fantastic.
6) As for NSFW content, I find interactions with D to be VERY exciting even though there is still no proper sex involved. To be blunt, I get hard from D showing her panties much more than from fucking Georgina. It depends on context and build-up. That said, once the game will be completed, you might judge about the amount of NSWF content more fairly.
The snail paced speed of the game's growth is why I judge it so harshly. If he had progress the story much quicker, and had content even on side characters before 0.11 or 0.12, it would be all good. That's why the game is actually referred to be one of the biggest "Blue Ballers" of all time. Many people all over in other discord servers agree on this very fact. You see that statement even in this thread all the time. Many other games that have been out as long as DMD already have solid amount of content with actual sexual scenes that are far more satisfying. You guys obviously hit a specific niche of people that is surprisingly big in numbers to support this type of game. Which is pretty damn cool. But even more people are doing other games.
One of the "problems" with the Patreon system is that you are forced to try betas, not completed games. There are japanese VNs that are as "slow" as DMD, but you notice it less because, once the fuck feast start, there is plenty of sex everywhere. You'll just need to wait: DMD will eventually have its own fuck feast. ^__-
Ironically the VN's I played being as massive as they are more humorious and even though its slow its not lacking in content and story. Prime Example is MajiKoi series. Soo much stuff but it's entertaining b/c of the ridiculous amount of humor and other content in the game. The stories of the characters are made solid and done in a much more natural rate. Those I have no issues with actually because they are much more realistic in their scenarios and it's not just focusing on Dating someone or just one person. There is much more content and fillings in Japanese VN's that DMD lacks. Should also pointing out You can't compare Japanese VN's to Patreon games. That be like comparing a game to Capcom considering Japanese VN's are made by professional companies.
On the last sentence you stated That is interesting about the Fuck Fest. If it involves the daughter I am conflicted due to some minor reasons. One part of me doesn't want the daughter to be touched by any other and get her "Slutty". In this sense I like her innocence side of her not the naivety but her innocence. At the same time I might find it cool to see the daughter in a "Fuck Fest" or "Orgy" as some others call it
.
And I should emphasize I don't want to see the game fail I just want it to become more fulfilling with the daughter and more action. It's pace is beyond annoying and very bad. At some point you have to break that snail pace and explode as you said earlier about Japanese VN's
. This game has great context and some very interesting scenarios. Just wish that it was more engaging persay.
