i'm not sure where you got this information but all signs point to DMD being updated at a much more glacial pace if at all. the more likely release for v0.18 would be in late April or May once the new Melody game comes out.
Quote from Mr. Dots himself.

The project won’t be canceled but we will work at a slower rate than when we’re on Patreon, mainly because we have to look for another payment alternative and we’ll also have to focus on the new game as well. But don’t worry, DMD will be finished no matter what!

I’m hopeful April - but too early to tell.

yes no update in March since they will be going full speed ahead on Melody. i agree that they will finish DMD eventually but no new version next month i’m afraid.

the “buy me a coffee” alternative for DMD seems to be temporary alternative
for now. maybe that can be used to help fund DMD for a late April/May release.

Well they said they wouldn't update the game until they found a replacement for patreon... i don't think buymeacoffee would qualify as that, it's not recurring and it's not tiered but it's better than nothing
On the other hand he received about a thousand dollars since he launched it a week ago and he didn't even advertise it, he said he would write a post on the blog this week but so far he hasn't, so if it gets him money does it really matter that it isn't a proper replacement with all the functionality? We'll see moving forward

Buymeacoffee is just a small compensation for what he lost after DmD being banned from Patreon. Even if he earns 1k $ a week regularly, that just make 4k$ a month. That's probably about the sum he lost at Patreon after the ban.
So it's by far not sufficient as replacement for Patreon.
And after the first hype his income from bmac will probably decrease ...

Maybe he can get into the project of ptolemy ... that can solve his problem with regulary income via Patreon for DmD without mention it there :D


Edit: on the other hand ... even with less patrons he still get 100% of his goal on Patreon. So maybe he doesn't need an alternative at all :)

True but as i said he didn't advertise it yet, unless you stumble upon the page on the dmd website or browse this forum you wouldn't know it existed
And there's probably more people like me that are still pledged on patreon waiting for March to decide what to do

"Does it really matter..."
Yes, it very much does. DMD is being blatantly used to transition patrons to Melody. "Promises", usually kept vague, are being made to DMD fans. These are basically "fan-service"--and ever-changing.
So, we will see moving forward. Many things will be event/money driven. Many of those outcomes are still in doubt.
I can already tell you how the Melody game will go. Character development will be slowed down by lots of contrived events like her shirt getting wet. Then, once the two characters have finally been developed and are clearly in love, a bunch of side adventures and extra girls will be implemented to pad out the game and keep their relationship from progressing. Then Patreon will go full Youtube and ban all nudity and sexual content before the game is finished.

I'm sure MrDots is aware, but there are quite a few payment gateways that have options for "high risk" transactions. There's one called Securion Pay that may work rather than PayPal?

I've thoroughly enjoyed DMD, and would love to see updates more frequently. Maybe this would help?

i have to ask a question, when the walkthrough says daughter route, does that mean i have to say no to all the other women and only persue the daughter?

Melody game can't be as strong as DMD simply because this seems to be a revenue generator, and DMD was a game created not solely for cash.
Plus Patreon banned most of the sizzle content, look at how Coceter Chronicles had to go back and remove Tabbie MC character and puppy porn.

Yes. We call that D-only in the thread.
But so far you're free to add Elena, Georgina, Olivia, and Jennifer. Choose however many you would like to handle, besides D...
well im currently working on completing the rewards, i have about 12 to go (d-only coz sweet dreams my princess is next). though i do have to say i dont enjoy the prospect of replaying constantly just to get the rewards, its a great game but youd be bored of any game if you had to replay it multiple times :/

Hi,

I get the "an exception has occured" error for saves of v0.16, trying to play vO.17. Anyone know what's causing that ?

Lol! Her face is a "rebuilt" Elena. Nicer bod, tho...
yea, looks like her :D

Will there be a remake of Jennifer?
probably, since it's cheaper to reuse assests

I'd guess a remake of all characters-- bar D-- is doable...
honestly think D could be morphed into an older model if Mr Dot's thought about it..

thank you @Vincidon!

she's a total cutie! love that nerdie look and the underwear is sexy as hell.

even if she is a reconstituted Elena she got a way better body. me likey! :FeelsGoodMan::FeelsGoodMan::FeelsGoodMan:
your welcome :D , i love nerdy in public/naughty in private idea :D
