I understand the need to do this and the things being implemented, it just sucks that its done in this way and the story doesn't get to keep moving for a month or 2 more.

I will say though, that the game is becoming massive in terms of size, thus I tend to agree that the need for chapters is inevitable.

With that said though, a lot of the stuff that has been done become pointless. All those love points, friendship points, boobs/ass/etc.., all the choices, become pointless once chapter 2 starts if it's a completely different game.

Further, it makes chapters 1 almost completely irrelevant in the context of how the story is moving in terms of porn. Chapter 1 is basically the precursor where what people will really want to see will be in further chapters. I mean pretty much guaranteed we'll get to have sex with Elena, Georgina, etc.. in the next chapter, also get hjs, bjs, etc.. from them too. So there won't be anything in chapt 1 worth anything, no carry over on decisions made, nothing.

I would further add too that in the way the progress is going, it seems like 3 chapters will likely end up being around 7 chapters. Too much content and possibilities and premutations to fit into 3.

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. :D

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.

october 20 . why do others play this game if they don't like it ... and want to change it all ? .)
The same complaints recycle monthly and the same “this is so unsatisfying” quotes and predictions of patron flight are made monthly. It is like a set of Penrose stairs going nowhere. Some of those who post complaints here post complaints in other forums. Perhaps people continue to play is like when one watches a movie you don’t quite like but you invested enough time that you want to see how it ends.

wait, this guy got a solid point, is the next chapter can load previous chapter ? like in many mainstream RPG. because there's a lot of outcome can happen from the choices of chapter 1. if they just make entirely "new" start and just carry the canon version of what they think should happen in the first game, i'm seriously going to be pissed.

So, anyone have an idea when you actually get to do stuff in the game other than get blue balls? I mean, that's the point of the game right?

This is shit. I get an automatic game over no matter what i do when that douche come shome and harasses the Daughter. I guess that happens because i didn't give her martial arts lessons. Now if i want to continue playing the game I have to restart and go through endless and pointless text walls just to get to the point where you can give her those lessons. It's absourdly stupid to give an unavoidable game over from a choice you made like three or four updates back. It breaks the game and it has killed my desire to play it more. Go play Good Girl Gone Bad or something like that with no game overs at all and total freedom to choose. Why give me a choice that will result in ending the game? If you give me the choice to train her or not I assume the game will play out differently, not flat out kick me out. Jesus.
I can understand your point of view, BUT: it was just two updates ago, not three or four. Also, not letting D learn how todefend herself is a pretty risky and selfish choice: it can be interpreted like a desire to see D getting raped or worse; this game, however, tend to punish this approach (that's MrDots vision). Consider that v013 is the last one of chapter 1, so you might consider that game over with Lucas like a proper "bad ending" for that chapter; the scene itself might be extended a little to resemble a proper ending in the future. So yes, your choices influence your path; in this specific case, you end up with a bad ending.

Damn, that was my intention:/ Still, in my opinion it's wrong that a choice which leads you to game over is much earlier than actual game over. If there was some scene or branching then it's fine, but seeing all these posts I find it as a mistake designwise as many people will have to start from the beginning as saves aren't kept forever and this game is loaded with text.

At the end of chapter 1 you will gain a password (or something like that, not expert about coding) that will grant you the possibility of keeping track of your points and your choices (e.g. did you have sex with Georgina? what did you win at the cupid night? did Elena and D shower together? etc) in chapter 2. Don't worry about this!

ok that actually makes me relieve a bit. what about the exhibition and sharing point ? will that also carried to the next chapter ? because those choices clearly can change the direction of certain story path..

If you are interested, at the moment we have made 115 corrections to fix small and big plotholes (e.g. characters referring to things that never happened in some branches; paths getting mixed up; lines not matching with the picture - coming too late or too early; too sudden game overs; new EXH SHARE LOVE FRIENSDSHIP points added here and there; rewriting and adding many dialogues; etc.); more or less, 20 more corrections are being planned; all the while, MrDots and other writers are creating the new scenes for the new carreer paths. However, the issue with the day counter is the very last we'll tackle. I still haven't sent MrDots a complete list of inconsistencies in that respect. Let's hope we'll manage to solve this issue by the next instalment. Sorry to tell ypou that! XD

BTW: I would be really glad if you guys could re-send me the pictures in which D mentions that she only has two weeks/ one month left with dad!

Awesome to hear. But funny thing is a past patreon told me that it used to be date for counter when he played it and it changed to day instead later on. So maybe it was a bug? Other than that glad to see all those fixes. If you search A1Foxe's Posts I think he is the one who found those inconsistencies and posted them. But it's a bit weird. :D I didn't pay 100% close to the scenes background to the actual text about time of day. So that's on me missing them. I thought it would just be easier to set the day ticker to date ticker instead. And a lot of the text made would fix nicely. Just confusing is all. :D Someone mentioned they just ignored that counter and they were fine with the story which would make perfect sense. B/c you aren't actually paying attention to the days F and D spent together.

On side note I think someone mentioned that the day ticker is combination of total days combined with days of father and MC together? Or something in the code that mixes them a bit. Not 100% sure on that. Maybe that's causing some of the issues. Who knows. :) Just glad to hear that you have a solution for being able to pass progress and enable it in the next installment. Which is a very good idea. :)

can't wait to see new paths and especially new scenes,that teaser from patreon page with elena is definitely something to look forward to

Thank you for clarifying. I knew the old format was date counter instead of day. They should not have changed it.

Seems you start playing DmD pretty soon.I was there from 0.0.1 and I remember we get first walktrough with 0.0.3.
Edit: I was wrong in 0.0.3 we get date 2.So counter start in 0.0.3 not in 0.0.4
