i understand i don't want it rushed either :D .. they can skip more corruption with D imho and just give me sex with Cassandra or maybe more Elena?.. but .17 is Valentine's related so maybe it will be a day of big steps for D?

there are really lots of possibilities for this next update,we can only guess for now but luckily we will find out in very soon
one thing is sure,i just don't want to see is sudden increase of the pace or in other words rushing the things between F/D,i said it above that i doubt there will be major step forward in F/D relationship but since the development will be stopped for uncertain time it wouldn't surprise me that they end the chapter with BJ

at this point in the game (without patreon crisis),BJ is still far away from happening,D just started to exploring her sexuality,she just gave that boobjob to F which is huge step for her,she is slowly opening up to new things,step by step...i'm just afraid that because no one knows if the development will be continued or when the next chapter will come out,they will rush the BJ just for the sake of it to happen...
not that i don't want to see it,but that would ruin the progression in my opinion

i hope you can understand what i mean,i find it hard to explain what i mean on english :closedeyesmile:
Don't worry probably big final will be D lick the cock,don't see any kind of penetration happen.At least about D.Elena is another case;).BTW now F can cum inside her without protection.

I know I'm late to the conversation, but I just wanted to add another possible scenario. His patrons churn. The fans of DMD slowly fade away and a new fan base emerges for whom Melody is a much more palatable character. In which case, he's successfully reinvented his business and unlike many other companies, came out with his ass in tact.
I agree. What initially attracted to DMD may have been the incest twist. It did for me, judge me as you will. But what has kept a majority of people has not been the incest, imo, but a plethora of other elements, not least of which is D as an innocent to love girl who slowly opens up to you stage by stage.

Teacher’s Pets is one of my favorite games on Patreon. This is not because of the daughter character in that game. It is because of the Meghan character. Again, a “DMD Daughter” character in that you slowly gain here trust and in return you are rewarded with delightful moments where the Meghan opens up to your advancing relationship in stages.

I wish I still had a post I wrote for DMD about a year ago. (I since lost it after a iPad incident of destruction and having also underfunded my cloud storage...). That post cited articles that stated the excitement in a sexual relationship has less to do with the physical act, and more to do with the “vulnerability and surrender” that gets to and includes that act. For example, sexual intercourse to release is in fact pleasurable. However, emotional and psychological rush of having someone who is trusting you and surrendering to a mutual intercourse: getting undressed and into bed, spreading, being penetrated, losing control to the point of orgasm...those arguably have more emotional significance and add more to the pleasure of the moment than the genitalia friction.

What DMD did was provide a charming MC Female with so much shyness that you get these cycles of “resistance/negotiation/acceptance/surrender” over and over again. That’s what both captures most of the DMD patrons and annoys most of the DMD detractors. The patrons are feeling this long slow ride that keeps hitting these “pleasure” moments of tension and surrender - areas of pleasure that appear to be less of a aspect of pleasure for the detractors.

It may be that the “resistance/surrender” pattern is much more a Romance pattern than some persons wish to experience. Think of all the great Romance movies, and the “resistance/surrender” pattern is what 95% of them are about.

I can’t tell you what everyone loves about DMD to make them patrons. But if it is a romantic pattern of “resistance/surrender” repeated over the VN while gaining in energy and tempo, then I believe the majority of patrons will remain patrons of Melody.

level 9 is likely licking her pussy. you heard it here first :tf:

bj won’t come until v.18 if ever.

i wasn’t expecting bj until v.20 honestly if Patreon didn’t clamp down on devs. i don’t think Dots will speed things along.
Boy are you going to be surprised, just based on what she's already said in the story and the devs on this forum.

that will be dead giveaway for the future of the game.Although i highly doubt it,if there is going to be some big step with D regarding sex then we will know we can forget about this game for a very long time.
more realistic option is that there will be some sex with F/elena,and personally i wouldn't be surprised for BJ from D
either that or dream sex with D to please the fans for the last time before hiatus
Yeah rushed Sex dream or real wise with daughter would be a major worrying indicator into his commitment to completing the story.
Blowjob I could see as it is really a small step from where they are at.

patrons are still getting a monthly supposed update of Melody the new game while the team works on DMD concurrently.

i would like to be pleasantly surprised but am afraid tomorrow will be one giant cock tease with some or little progression.

I think the reason for the slow burn for dmd is breaking that barrier between father-daughter, Melody doesn't have any sort of taboo restrictions to overcome, I think it will still go slow but maybe a little faster than dmd is... that's just my speculation

Dmd also had the sheltered innocent 18 year old ingenue element. That seems far less viable with a likely slightly older wannabe rock/pop star. So i’m Curious how they are going for any element of slow burn.

i expect melody to be slow burn; she’s young and sees you as a tutor and eventually mentor and that sort of relationship will take time and trust to grow and cultivate in something more. maybe 6 chapters into Melody we will finally take her out on a date or like someone commented maybe to a classical music concert where everyone is dressed real nice or a coffee shop style concert by a budding musician.

March 23 is so far away.

as for DMD, i’ve been pleasantly surprised before and look forward to being more so. i’ll take the new update slow and read everything; it’ll be a while before getting that feeling again :FeelsBadMan::FeelsBadMan::FeelsBadMan:

If Melody has an MC--who presumably has known many groupies--who wants to avoid intimacy and there are fewer chances to indulge, the girl would have to corrupt the MC rather than the other way around. That could take some doing...
i kind of like the sound of that

The one HUGE similarity between DMD and Melody will be the slow-burn approach. Even more, the linear style of story telling.
I have read through ~100 game threads here. DMD is THE most linear game. Players who simply can't/won't navigate many games without cheat codes (I'll use a walk through but that's it) can play DMD in a "natural" manner. Simplicity is popular!!
I'm virtually certain MrDots is aware of this. He will do what he can. I seem to have even more confidence in him--a staunch non-patron--than many patrons. THE problem is the PayPal/Patreon duo which may well thwart his best efforts.
Actualy Sarah's Life/not to mention the special christmas episode/ and My Little Princess are way more linear than DmD:)

Don’t disagree with your analysis. Honestly I am not in the actual know if the actions will match up with the deed ... but I am hopeful.

She thought this most recently:
D: (And just maybe I can put things right next time...)

When is she going to think this?:
D: (And just maybe I can put things right inside me next time...)

I actually hope his new Game fails completely, so he is forced to get off Patreon and find another way to sell DmD. That he agreed to let Patreon decide what he develops is kinda ridiculous. His Patreons pay him for DmD not for Random-boring-Game #324. I bet lots of his Patreons have not even realized what happend but will msot likely cancel their Support if they find out DmD isn't going to go any further (officially).

Best case would be he finds another way how people can pay him for DmD and keeps his Patreon page open, but does very little Updates on the new Game to focus 95% on DmD.
If he tries to put real effort into that new Game it will fail, because both project would suffer and none would be great.

There is no way Melody can fail that much.And don't forget that there always will be 10% of patrons that give him money not for the game itself but just to support him.And at least 1/3 of others actualy don't care who is the MC,what is the story,which fetishes are present.It can be easy to guess that 2000+ patrons still will be with him.I have way much more hope in Mr.Dots Melody than DS new-old game Glamour.

Devs are VERY reluctant to leave Patreon. There are just too many financial advantages for them. They say they will move to another non-Patreon platform but ONLY if they retain all these advantages.
So it looks like they will more likely be banned before they willingly leave Patreon.
Once banned, with no Patreon replica available, devs will have to decide if half a loaf--or even a crust of bread--is better than nothing.
All this may take a while...
Actually, there are a number of dev's who have already left or partially left Patreon. And most of those dev's don't milk for as much as Mr.D has over the past 6 months, they release consistent and timely updates. Only those who are afraid to leave the cow are sticking with the platform no matter what. Others want to tell their story so are finding other ways to get to that goal.

That's exactly what's been announced for Melody.
For sure, many people were more accepting of the early DMD slow-burn because of the taboo barrier. But these games can be addictive (as we all know). If players specifically search out linear games, they will at least try Melody out.
I have serious doubts but will wait and see. DMD may well cast too great a shadow for Melody to shine through...
The problem I see is that they're taking the exact same plot framework and trying to recycle it all over again. I'm disappointed because with the talent of the dev team they could have gone a completely different direction and might have been able to shift the paradigm of adult games again. Instead it's DmD Vanilla v2.0 (due to the Patreon hall monitor watching over their shoulder, which is pretty screwed up). I'm waiting to see what Dots says tomorrow, really hoping the ambiguity regarding DmD's future is resolved.
