So... if I get you right 0.14 is just 'big bugfix' without any story progress?
V0.14 is bug fix, plot hole fill in, removal of bad renders replaced with good renders. go back and address story elements that were left dangling. etc. adds in lots of new CG as well.

So, now that Chapter one is finished and the plot holes are supposedly filled in, I'd like to ask what the point of chapter one was. Sure, we met Daughter, grew closer, became "lovers" and then Daughter and side content (Elena) got taken away. But, what was resolved in this chapter?

Because, as it stands, you could jump into chapter 2 and not really miss a thing. The story could easily be, I love my daughter and I'm going to get her back. We don't need to see Chapter 1 to understand that. We haven't really had a strong connection between F and D. They've just been mostly bumming about on holiday. The hospital scene, after F gets punched, probably remains as the one genuine moment that connects the two characters.

Every chapter of a story is meant to resolve something, bringing us closer to an inevitable end. Yet, it feels like we got more problems without solving any old ones; presumably Lucas isn't going to be a problem in Europe. But, that's not a resolution to the threat he posed, that's just forgetting he's there. It's the RWBY style of story-telling, create more problems and make them bigger; so that your audience forgets about the old problems. Now, I don't think dating my daughter is as bad as RWBY (I don't hate characters I'm supposed to like, in DMD). But, I do feel that Chapter one has been a huge waste of time.

Will I still continue DMD? Of course, because humans are magpies and plot intrigue is something shiny. But, intrigue isn't development and that's going to hit very hard if the following chapters are anything like this one.
