It's virtually certain DMD will not be abandoned. Not only would MrDots immediately lose patrons who are supporting the Melody project in order to indirectly help the studio continue with DMD, but the risk is far too high that Patreon will again resort to asshole shenanigans {I think Sophia of "Melody" looks about 16. Many people think she looks even younger. Seems provoking, no?} and derail the Melody project. Goodbye, rep with 2 out of 2 abandoned projects.
This past February, MrDots didn't charge patrons for the month because he failed to deliver the January update (DMD was banned from Patreon). So, he pretty much has to rinse and repeat this every month there is no Melody update. But, sooner or later, a crisis is bound to happen (probably from coding bugs in either project, or more Patreon foolishness) and it's "follow the money" which means Melody will be the clear priority. The "best" preventive action would appear to be to hurry up and conclude DMD.
If there would be anything above 2 more DMD updates, I would consider it a HUGE bonus. A VERY pleasant surprise...
