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

[BigChris]

As someone who's been using Windows since the very beginning - I really don't think "worked out of the box" can be applied very well until *really* recently.

As to Linux - it's cheap - does everything a modern OS should and doesn't keep fucking up your settings by arbitrarily trying to force updates down your throat. But that's all OT really.

As to running DmD under Linux - I always just pulled the Linux binaries from another game and renamed the relevant sh/script files (two of them IIRC). Pretty simple. I'll package that up and stick it somewhere in a bit.

Just unzip those into your DMD directory and run the shell and it should work fine.

How to find my DMD directory ?

Devs don't want to do that. Besides potential legal and financial hurdles currently handled by Patreon.
The Patreon "system" is just too awesome for devs : recurring pledges ; tiered levels ; pledging to a studio rather than a project.
Your proposal would "kill the golden goose" that is this system. As is, a new studio can get rich off one project. Without that incentive, far fewer projects would even start in the future.

but sorry if you put DMD on a site as I said and on patreon the new game would have money from patreon to finance the new project and any other revenue from the DMD site ... Do not you think?

Another possibility is by more preview pics even of characters that have yet to appear in the game.
Perhaps the biggest appeal in DMD for many players was the sheer quantity of vivid female characters--Elena, Jennifer, Georgina, Olivia, Koko, Margo, Rachel. Some players even preferred--I highly disagree!--these babes to D. If the amount of tease is less in the game, this would be a way to help restore it.

Well we won't get that big cast of girls probably if the game will be like 17-18 episodes.Teasing will be less tof course we will need to work harder for Melody but sex with secondary characters probably will be way early than DmD/0.12-Georgina,in 0.14 he add sex with Olivia on day 9/.
Also I'm happy that we get much more content for 0.17.That make it 100% sure we get to level 9 corruption-cunnilingus and/or blowjob.

Sex will be quicker - even without liquor

Sex will be quicker - even without liquor

I have no problems with some waiting.Last 7-8 months MC in most games don't have sex before 0.6 or 0.7.Seems we get more VN and erotic games than porn games.No complaining-A Wife and a Mother,High Rise Climb and Milf's Tale are my last 3 additions to game with high expectations.Will be glad to add Melody too.
Any idea how many girls will be there besides Melody?2-3 or 5-6?

There is no site at the moment that most devs are willing to commit to away from Patreon. A dev from another game was in this thread Monday and said a group of devs were evaluating 3 different payment platforms as options. So your proposal is not considered viable at the moment.
A small studio is NOT churning out two projects concurrently with monthly updates. Besides, many people would choose one or the other to support, but not both. MrDots had to promise Patreon to de-couple it from DMD. So, that's another problem--MrDots has chosen to remain purer-than-pure.
So, it's not just one problem but a whole series of problems. No easy fix (and 100s of proposals have been advanced).

Yes, I read the forum, even that of BB where more or less the same proposals were put forward but I thought to adopt the same principle of those open source sites where next to the program you can download is a button with written donated for support the project and software development ... I wondered if it was not possible to do the same thing ... now I'm not an expert on these things and surely Mrdots and the other developers who are experiencing this situation on their skin will know certainly more and if they are making certain decisions and following certain directions a more than valid reason there will be ..... I apologize if my proposal was received as insistent and inappropriate I absolutely did not want to ... sorry again.

I agree. I think this might be MrDots best option atm. Toe the line for a little bit with this game until a better alternative comes up, like one of the new sites that are being proposed.

I also think that since this happened, MrDots is not naive to the longevity of porn games on Patreon. I think he knows the writing is one the wall and inevitable that he will have to wait for those other options. This is a way to bide his time, earn some income and keep developing, mostly Melody, but also some DMD on the side.

The biggest question marks on a new site are their rules, longevity, and payment options. I think the speculation is right and that PayPal may not be the best option due to not supporting porn. Thus a new site would have to have payment structures outside of PayPal, while using a system that is easily accessible in all countries.

By the time a new platform presents itself, how many patrons will be lost? A lot of the people that pledged to him were there for the incest and loli characters (not gonna knock it). Melody seems like a hard left turn from DMD, for obvious reasons, but it does run the risk of driving away the more hardcore fetish fans. Until a new platform presents itself, or until MrDots takes matters into his own hands, everything rests on thin ice. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Melody turns out to be a Patreon pleasing money maker, enough that it allows MrDots to keep Patreon at bay while continuing with DMD.

Once V17 is released on Valentines, does the “onhold” sticker come off?

 

[TheFapperBoy]

Once V17 is released on Valentines, does the “onhold” sticker come off?

No. DMD is staying on ice for a while after 0.17 so they can focus on Melody. I don't expect to see DMD back until the summer... maybe earlier if Patreon numbers tank... Hell, maybe never if Melody is a success.

 

[TheFapperBoy]

One stop-gap idea--if there's nothing better available, oc--is to do a "fun" DMD Appreciation gallery (similar to the 0.14 Achievements gallery). The F/D full sex scene would NOT be part of this of course. But some fan-service for the more extreme fetish players (3-somes, 4-somes, x-somes, etc) would be. Funding could be similar to what is planned for new players and 0.17 (pay-per-download site).
This would be mid-April or May IF DMD 0.18 still seems to be delayed.
Would someone please pitch this idea to a dev-teamer, please?

I really don't think this is a good idea.

"Hey guys, here are some images of scenes you really want to see, but aren't happening because we're not working on this game! That'll be $5".

I would kind of agree if you hadn't said "Pay-Per-Download", but even then it's kind of sketchy. He's already keeping his Patreon that he build on DMD, don't encourage him to milk it further without actually working on the project.

The rule of 3 is too mesmerising:
(1) Sweet Dreams Melody ;
(2) Sweet As Melody

Play a Melody on My Organ

, the dev you'd the DMD story (sort of) in a negative light.. lol

 

[RomanHume]

How are you bro?
Haven't had a chance to play your game yet, but I like several of your girls a lot more than Melody.

Sorry I haven't had a chance to reply yet. Been busy as hell trying to get another update out this week.

I think Melody looks ok, but I think she looks a little cartoonish. We are trying to use as much Iray "photoreal" as possible. And with each release we're learning more about how to make that better and more consistent.

I mean, Mr. Dots was one of our inspirations. My only hesitation about this new game, is that DMD was such a sloooooooooooow burn. I worry it will be the same. We swore we would never do that in any of our stories.

Still, I'll remain a Patron of his and can't wait to see what he rolls out with.

 

[lynx33]

I think Melody looks fine, but not anywhere near the level of D. And as someone who designed the best pair of tits in a porn game, MrDots going with a flatchested girl is disappointing. And if it's quicker than DMD, the story and the slowness and heart of it was part of the attraction to me (though, while storywise, the call-back to wherever the mom is, makes sense, it really threw off the pacing and made the last few updates a lot less fun)

 

[JDgamer]

Is it Mid Feb yet? Where's the next chapter? Ahh such a long wait...

 

[RomanHume]

Ah, my friend!
I refuse to be a patron. The Patreon set-up is such a bad business deal for patrons and I am COMPLETELY averse to such deals. As well, getting pulled through an emotional wringer by strangers is just too much for me.
But I truly respect patrons and wish them well. They are a joy to the community.
But your hopes of 2-3 months before DMD 0.18 seem misplaced. It very much looks like some devs (BB,DMD) negotiated being allowed to deliver their patrons an update AFTER the game itself had been nuked on Patreon. As a once-and-done. After DMD 0.17, there is no good way--let alone ideal--for Dots to release DMD 0.18. He would have to change the studio name and recruit NEW patrons.

Wait what?! Why have I been kissing your ass all this time then?

Just kidding. I've been following your posts because you have a lot of valuable insight on this this community and industry. As a dev, a lot if it is very helpful. So Post on my friend and I'll keep reading!

 

[RomanHume]

I'd be willing to be a volunteer proofreader for you. Just tell me what you want done--spelling, grammar, continuity.
Would just need texts, oc...

In time I might take you up on that. We'll correct little mistakes as people point them out. But beta is where we'll start to zero in on perfection. For now it's all about laying out plot lines.

 

[RomanHume]

I plan to get around to finally playing your game by early next week.
Been pinching myself to make sure this is RL--I was balls-deep into cryptos but got completely clear of the carnage...

Then you are one of the lucky ones my friend. Fortunately I don't know anyone personally who took that kick in the nuts.

I would definitely wait until next week to play our game. We'll have v0.7.1 hopefully around Sunday/Monday. It'll include some heavier story and our first robust sex scene with more options than we've included to date.

Behind the scenes we are starting to get our model straight on how to manage all of the dialogue options and the impact they have on future scenes. So we want the next sequences to be really complex so we can stress test the model.

just a last thought in the throes of tiredness before bed... still wouldn't help DMD much.. but Dad/Rachel backstory till their divorce?

I think Melody looks fine...... And as someone who designed the best pair of tits in a porn game, MrDots going with a flatchested girl is disappointing.

The only image that I have seen is a small face pic, is there others with more of Melody somewhere?
As a fan of smaller boobs I am interested
