VN Ren'Py Completed Dating My Daughter [Ch. 1-4 v1.01] [MrDots Games]

[atlas114]

i'm actually glad those stars on her forehead weren't a tattoo. she's a cutie, nice proportionate body. while about a month and a half wait until we see Chapter 1, this has some potential...for sexiness and cuteness perhaps.

Lol... As has been said a thousand times there is very little reason for Patreon to implement anything even remotely assembling the draconian "no-porn" rules some here seem to believe are inevitable. The risk of that happening is minimal as anybody with even a little experience in this type of business should be able to tell you. I am honestly not sure in what world you guys live in that you think that this is in any way a likely event. Patreon is nowhere near as whimsical or puritan as you make it out to be. Please stop acting like there is little to no difference between "normal" adult content and extreme fetishes like incest etc.

And staying on Patreon and complying with the rules is certainly safer and easier than trying to come up with their own financing platform or method.

The issue is, Patreon was NEVER supposed to support porn. Listen to Jack Conte's interview on the Rubin Report. He specifically mentions pornography as something that Patreon wouldn't allow. It was then that I was sure about two things a) Most of the people working at Patreon at the time had no idea how much porn was on their service and b) When they found out, things would go badly. This was months before the first real push back against a lot of developers happened. Incest, rape, loli and the like are easy targets to go after without seeming too draconian, as very few people are going to want to go out of their way to defend that stuff. It was also very blatant.

Now maybe Conte has changed his mind about the whole thing, it's possible. But based on his own words, I figure that more and more porn will be shunted off the site over time.

You do realize that no one thought Patreon would be banning fetish heavy games and content the first time around right? Just because they haven't done it yet doesn't mean they won't. You may be right, they may never fully ban adult content, but then again you could be wrong and it's just a matter of time. Especially if these devs try and secretly keep producing their banned games while using their Patreon friendly games to continue generating revenue.

At the end of the day Patreon is a business, and like most businesses sooner or later they won't want to be associated with porn. Jack Conte has made it clear that he doesn't endorse nor support porn content of any kind on Patreon. They tolerate it now, it's only fair to assume that they won't in the near future.

Didn't see the rest of the message here, so ...
From dev (about his new game)
-------------------------------------
Hi guys!

After receiving the approval from Patreon, today I’d like to share with you our plans for the new game. The game will be called Melody and our first update (Melody: Episode 1) will be released on March 23rd.

I’ve decided to name our updates with chapters and not with numbers this time (e.g. v0.01, v0.02, etc.) so that way it sounds less confusing for new players. The first episode will be quite long, just so we can give you all a better idea of what our two main characters are all about, what their respective backgrounds are, and how secondary characters tie into their everyday lives.

Main Plot

You play a session musician who has had a busy lifestyle, having worked in various cities and towns across the country. This has been your life, ever since you graduated from college, where you attained a degree in the field of Music.

Once returning home, you decide to leave the place you grew up in, to start a new life and a fresh start in another town. You have also decided to take a break from the job you know so well, to focus on a brand-new career. You’re just not sure what that will be yet.

In order to keep the money coming in, you decide to take up a job offer, tutoring Melody, the niece of a woman you meet by chance via an online marketplace. Melody is currently studying music in college, so having an experienced tutor is pretty important for her chosen career path.

About the dating system

You will be spending time with Melody every day. Aside from one-on-one lessons you will have with her, you will also be accompanying her at various music related activities. If all goes well, you may even be able to go out on a date with her. And if that goes well too, it could lead to something even better!

You will be making decisions between two or more options, that will negatively or positively affect the outcome of the date and the main story as well.

There will be a number of secondary characters and you'll be able to start a romantic relationship with them too.

Will you be that guy that wins Melody's heart and has her singing to her own tune again? Is it possible that you and Melody can make beautiful music together one day?

What would you like to see in the new game?

We are in the early stages of creating the game, so I’d like to know what features, scenes, clothing, characters, etc. you would like to see in this project.

The plan is that you and Melody will take several trips to different cities and get to do different music and non-music related activities while you are there. A concept similar to DMD.

A lot of the coolest ideas and scenes used in DMD came from you guys so I’d like you to help me shape this visual novel into a great game. Of course, we will take the ideas as a suggestion and in the end, we’ll decide if we implement them or not.

I’ll be sharing more renders and updates during this month with my patrons. Overall, we’re really excited to start with this project. We’ve learned a lot from our first game and we’ll try not to make the same mistakes we have made in the past.

As always, if you have any questions, please let us know in the comments section or on the Community Board.

Thanks for your support!

Mrdots.

Character design is good. But This sounds like another milking lesson quite honestly. If it's even slightly faster pace than DmD, it will probably feel slow. I figure at least a year before any sex with the girl probably longer.

 

[Squark ⚧❤️]

after reading what the new game will be about i just feel its a big downgrade from DmD.
a horny old bastard manipulate a young native girl to be his. so he will teach music, a lot of that crap, and going around to different events and shit. im quite disappointed.

Dude, that game is just so his Patreon won't get shut down. He's moved DmD to another service. It's not cancelled. It's just Patreon not liking incest.

 

[baka]

I know

You must be registered to see the links

, I have been following the news, but Im giving my thoughts about the new game plot.
We also know that this game will "steal" the time away from DmD. as he explained, after 0.17, they will focus on the new game, and who knows how long. we already have a slow progress in DmD, now it will go even slower.
I know about it all, the reason and all, but the new game plot is not interesting, at least not now, maybe he can make it good, maybe there will be funny parts and interesting twists, but right now i just feel "another slow game that will focus on a horny old bastard that will use his influence and knowledge to fuck a young and naive girl". DmD is a bit like that, D is naive but DmD is his first big project and I got used to that and eventually accepted that part. but the new game is a reminder of that and its not a pleasant emotion.

And yet literally hundreds of people gave money to LOPGold and S&G using an “obscure” third party payment system aka CCBill.

I wouldn't call CCBill an obscure third party payment system. Perhaps for virtual novels and games, but for the longest time CCBill was the gold standard in credit card processing for adult porn sites. I'm not sure if they still play in that merchant space. But nearly every porn site from like '98 to '10 used CCBill because their fraud detection was top notch.

 

[Jeff Steel]

Who knows how to set up a Melody thread?

 

[N1K17Y]

still no one has answered me, why he cant just make some fake ass game for patreon, add 2 images per update, and focus on DMD which to distrubute somewhere else ?
as for the new game, dont know how anyone can be opimistic really. proably its gonna be pretty much the same as DMD just with cut out incest (which was major selling point) again gonna wait a year+ till you get some h scenes. and that is if patreon doesnt f*Ck him up more, or his patrons get tired of the dev and ditch him, thus abandoning everything

 

[atlas114]

because MrDots said himself Patreon would ban him if he tried that. so this is the way forward. DMD is delayed but not dead, Melody project will be main focus to keep the money flowing.

 

[Deleted member 167032]

Noticed in his information notice how very Politically Correct he make the whole article sound. I am sure MrDotts hated writing it. I mean "Will you be that guy that wins Melody's heart and has her singing to her own tune again? Is it possible that you and Melody can make beautiful music together one day?" he would have put this way differently in teh past.

It's a very neutered letter to us all. I understand to a point Patreon's stance on porn in general and everything that goes along with it, it's just too much.

Incest does not have to be the biggest attraction in a game. Innocence and sensuality can be very attractive selling points. Done correctly though. I think this is what he is trying to achieve with the Melody game.

New game sounds really good. At this point plot is sensible and music is something interesting to base on. And quite original. The main issue with DMD and all these incest games is that they make completely no sense except for a kinky fantasy and that's totally not immersive for me. Not to say that Melody looks endlessly better than D's standard model with head-size boobs which is used in many games. I always see this almost retarded face from MOTH's page (she suppose to wink in a sexy manner?) when I look at D. Can't wait to test this one. I don't like how there is no numeracy in versions but I can deal with that

 

[Deleted member 167032]

Yeah, i've always wondered who started this oversized boobs and big booty fetish wrt VN games. Also why everyone jumped on the incest wagon, it's erotic for sure but only so many times. What's next beastiality? Demon sex where do we stop. Just my thoughts.

[lynx33]

I wonder if we'll get a scene like the one in A wife and a mother (by the way, if you haven't played that, you should check it out, it's fantastic (but a very slow buildup)) where the guy spends a very long time explaining how the guitar and chords work. Hopefully not.

 

[jaw1986baby]

IMHO MrDots game Melody is a lot more palatable than DarkSilver game Glamour. Plus if DMD still gets made I am ready to support him. My preference would be a game with a father corrupting like 3 daughters and their friends while they are in high school, but since that ain't happening AT ALL, I do like DMD and Elena and Jennifer and the thought of Elena AND Jennifer... So hopefully this Melody game goes well.

 

[victkh]

Ok, i will support him if he will do as promised -will make both games simultaneously

 

[Kane Salvatore]

Tyvm for this. Yes, this is new info for the thread.
A title for this new project ? "Sweet Melody" proposed and rejected?
Fire away, guys!...

i like 'Sweet Melody' would be more of a name then just 'Melody' imo

 

[Ignazzio]

Agree. Sweet Melody sounds better. Melody isn't bad but that way you can write SM after game is well-known.
Weird question cuz there is someone from team here: Will there be any sound in Melody? I rarely listen to sounds in such games but I wonder if game built around music will have some music in it.

 

[Deleted member 167032]

Where do we as human society stop? Yes it's a game but now we are moving into pedophile area surely?
I will not denying a 16yr old girl sounds for a slightest moment interesting but only slightly, we have to stop somewhere.

Also why can't there be a pirate country where you could make games like DMD where Daughter and Elena are 16 and Jennifer is 15?? Time to seize some land out at sea.......
