Lack of good animation is just a detail. I mention it along with many other details, and you've chosen to single out this one. Try searching for "Umemaro" either on this site or on Google. Japanese. Breathtaking animations...
What I mean is this is another instance of DMD cost-cutting which many people (another dev has several posts on this subject in the Melody thread) find unseemly.
What do you think of @RomanHume and his DAST? That was easily the best non-incest game, so very similar to Melody. That game was so good, it convinced me to stay away from non-incest games because without my preferred fetish there can be no immersion. No immersion, no buzz, no funny...
Btw, I really love the pregame character development and the early releases by RomanHume, and it is not just that he is also a genuinely nice guy and a person with early sources of artistic development linked to D&D. He is also the only other person on Patreon I am supporting.

I'll yet again voice my (probably minority) opinion that the less time a dev wastes on sound (usually useless or annoying) and animations (usually bad with a couple of devs being nice exceptions) and instead spends on storytelling and renders, the better.

It depends on the result, but I tend to agree with you, Daughter for Dessert is a good example. There seems to be voice acting in the game and while I don't say that the girl is bad I'd still say it doesn't really work for the situation. Sound is pretty much the same, there's one scene where the MC jerks off and the sound just makes you laugh instead of anything else x'Dx'D

Hmmmm. Not in disagreement. I don’t think I’ve seen any game where the sound or animation made it better in the face of bad storytelling and renders. But when there is a animation done at the right time - a cherry on the top, so to speak - it can be great. Still, animation is something that can be improved in comparison with the other MDot elements.

I agree that story and general art quality are more important, but they have diminishing returns. You can promise to spend twice as long writing story, but you can't really promise to make it twice as good. Twice as long, maybe, but that's a lot less exciting (to me).

I am anticipating more than that with Brad as - at the end of the last update - MC said Rachel did not like sucking him much and then thought (or wondered) to himself that she like sucking Brad’s better. I am anticipating there will be some kind of Bull Ram vs Bull Ram showdown, whether it is physical or not, with Rachel going toward the victor.
great get into a fight and win a gold digging tramp, hope MC will have the option to reject her.

Does this game save any files outside of the directory from which is run?
Because I just started v0.14.5 and after a minute of gameplay (after inviting D to the flat), I get some scripts error :( (related to the rewards). I don't know if some older files may interfere. Obviously I unpacked v0.14.5 to the new folder (not into v0.10, which I still have on my HDD)

Is the game near completion? The creator seems to have released another game, so I'm curious if he did it because he's nearly done, or just wanted to do something else at the side.

Mr. Dots did that because Patreon cracked down pretty hard on certain types of adult games, and when the game has the word Daughter in its name... there wasn't much of a fighting chance to keep the game on Patreon.

Melody is the project that is on Patreon and that way they can keep Patrons happy and the money flowing. The unfortunate thing is that DMD is nowhere near complete, probably takes around 10 more updates for Chapter 2 (unless they decide to try and finish it up faster and with fewer updates now). Also read somewhere that Chapter 3 was planned, but not sure what happens to that now that the main focus is on Melody. DMD is still going to updated though, which is good, but have to wait a couple of months for the next one.

That is quite unfortunate. I'm actually waiting for DmD to finish before playing it, so knowing this it seems I have to wait longer.

I agree completely. I have the sound turned off 99% of the time. Especially with porn games, but also with AAA "normal" games, except shooters etc where you need to hear someone sneaking up on you.

I guess animations do add something, but given the time they seem to take, I think it's not worth it.

More time on picture renders and writing also means more story progression! :)

A bit of sexy moaning like in Nenad's Willy D can go a long way towards immersion, and adding a few royalty free background songs or UI sounds neither hurt the game nor the development time. But yeah, complete character voice-over or some kind of narrator are completely unnecessary!

As per Patreon's rules incest games are not allowed, you must have something up on Patreon for you to get your money as Melody does not have that tag it's on the site and DmD has been moved to dott's site.

P.S. I may be wrong at points sorry for that.

Is it me or all women in this novel doesn't know what is bra? LoL.
They also don’t carry purses; they never have to shave; they never have their periods; they never worry about STD’s; they seem to be in a high degree of danger of being raped by pure strangers ... did I miss anything?
