Hey! This was was just speculation on my part. But the timing seems too precise to be a coincidence.
People can ask a dev-teamer the reason for the delay. I might even pretend to believe him...
You know what will come too around that time?Some kickstarter projects first ship and for others the second wave.Mostly board,card and miniature games.

You have no idea how thinks work.There is plenty of projects that get an update once on 3 months or even 6 months and still are kicking.
All these updates are basically small updates - more or less, few bigger ones, but they all have sense only if they are regular and to me a 3 month or a 6 month update, unless it's a planned that way because it makes sense (because of creative and business model or team is small or team is doing other projects also), is not a regular update in this case - perhaps in others it is - but a contingency that wasn't planned.

And who ever tells that updates of 3 months apart are an ok thing for this project is mugging about. No chapter 3 if something doesn't change. I don't think it needs to change straight away, but it needs to change.

Anyone know if I have to play through chapter 2 or if this is just an addon to 2 so can just pick up from 1?
Why would you skip chapter 1? It's like only watching the end of a movie. Chapter 2 is the continuation of the story from chapter 1. You may be able to skip, but I wouldn't advise it.

If you're not too interested in most of the story, you can just skip lines to speed through it.

Just because you can't believe that it can happen doesn't mean you are right.What you or I think is completely irrelevant.The game will continue as long the dev wants and as long there is a demand and fans to support him.
I remember how many people laught when Jim Balent decide to publish alone his comic series.And you know what it was 19 years ago and the series is now at issue 110.How many comic you know that reach that number?Even the big ones like Marvel,DC,Image and Dynamite have not that much.

Yeah, I agree with you. And for Jim Balent also - it is a nice thing to have a comic series that long alive - you meant Tarot? - but the important thing is also to remember he did a lot of work beside it for DC as his main work. As for this I'm just saying I'd like to see end of this sooner than 2020 as you calculated.

Welcome to our thread! Really, DMD is only like DoD in having so many quality renders.
DoD is fun-fun-fun with sex-sex-sex. Relate your preferences because there are many people who play dozens and dozens of games and can give you a recommendations (DoD is one of a handful of games I play, and is special).
What Games does DoD mean?

Tarot of course.I have almost all issues with both covers.Raven Hex was my favorite,maybe because of Lady Death vibe.

I would suggest for a mod here to put the countdown on the front page, it would save lots of bandwidth from people asking when is the update over and over again, it's just a suggestion, nothing more ;)

Yeah, but people won't read the OP either.

At least 20 mid- to high-patrons have come to this thread and said the present 3-month cycle is acceptable for them.
Yeah, patrons are those who's opinion/money counts. Rest of the fans are also important, but patrons are the core.

But this is also why for me it's ok for anyone to word out whatever for good discussion - because all those mid and high patrons who among them have people who were backing from the very start - have a very strong interest here - their money they already paid. And this is it, money already paid, you can always back out if you don't like a new direction for example, but you paid a considerable amount already probably so you're more inclined to be optimistic. But it's cool to be optimistic for this hehe.

So has anybody answered this question: About how much playtime will be in the new version? Will it be quite a bit longer then usual since it took longer?

Not necessarily anymore with DMD, because it's not on Patreon anymore, it's not even spoken about there anymore. You just have to to get access. Patrons are only supporting Melody now, officially.

Regardless of your opinion on the cycle, we should simply be grateful that the game is still being developed after Patreon cracked down and ousted it, and that the devs didn't ditch the game like Dark Silver did with Big Brother. It's not a new direction, it's making the best of a bad situation, which isn't preferable, but it's the best we can hope for right now.
