Any date given for the next episode?
Not an exact date, but .19 is slated to drop in August. And if the last update (.18) is any indication of a release date, I'd have to say around the end of the month.

Looking at publicly available data:


Logically they have to shift from Patreon very soon, it kills of creativity, and since the start of 2018 their numbers have been declining. Now since his revenue is kept secret from Patreon, we do not know the actual shifts from Month-to-Month (people shifting to lower tiers).

Also it's interesting to note, that so far this year, whenever a new DMD update came out, their Patreon numbers also skyrocketed, while their Melody releases does not bring in new supporters.

Sadly currently BMAC has very limited reporting.

Now if we would just compare the sheer numbers they would come out at around 60% Patreon - 40% BMAC however, considering the cut and the extra Patreon currently takes, and if I would account the burst of patrons during a DMD release, the revised numbers are pretty much 50-50 currently.

Now the main issue MrDots previously said is that they do not see any Patreon competitor, which is starting to shift as has gone into it's beta stage.

I can just hope, but if MrDots is truly the financial genius people say he is, then he already sees this, and will do the right call. He has a growing team, and has to give more attention to their real money maker.

Most likely due to this reason I do not think, that they will end DMD at chapter 3 unless their 3rd project next year will blow up.

But these are jut speculations, I do not know the guy, but he does seem clever considering he knew how to hide their public data on their Domains and use whoisguard.
I honestly don't see MrDots using Drip. After reading their , he would most definitely not be permitted on their platform.

The following content and activities are prohibited on Drip:
  • Pornographic material.
That leaves out DMD I'm afraid. Or any other AVN for that matter.

The closest I could find though is . Though there is something in the ToS that may prevent him from putting DMD on their platform..



Prohibited Items

We prohibit projects that are illegal, heavily regulated, or potentially dangerous for backers, as well as rewards that the creator did not make.

Although DMD isn't "illegal" per se, the IC is in most countries.

And who would wanna play a watered down version of DMD? I wouldn't. Unless it could be modded. But he's already went that route with Patreon, so I can't see MrDots using this one either.

Considering the amount of support they get on BMC, this game still gets almost equal if not more support then the Patreon censored new one (Melody).

Which just baffles me why is this on a 3 month cycle while the new is on a 1 month one.
Yea, at least every other month would be more fair. But my own speculation from reading comments from Mrdots team member Hearsz is that they wanted to cancel DMD, but when they saw how much money they got from BMC and how many Patreons left at first(they lost 1600 Patreons) they continued the game, I think thats also why they have gone back and forth, saying they will or will not finish the game several times. I have a very hard time beliving the game will be finished with this release cycle tho, it would take years, but we'll see, I'm just happy for any update we can get and try to support them any way I can.:noexpression:

I agree 100% with you on that. Yeah, we gotta deal with the longer wait for updates, but dammit is it worth it in the end! :)

Definitely see it being shortened judging by how quickly we went from petting and masturbation to full out blowjobs.

So, how do y'all see DMD finishing?

Depending on how and where Chapter 2 will finish it could be a good ending. If F+D (+Elena but I have my doubts on that on the D only route) manages to get back and away from Rachel, then most likely a good epilogue with a happy future could be a good ending, where they live happily in the countryside as a couple with the doggy.

Could also be a good joke to hint at D being pregnant, so the cycle could continue. :D

Personally I'd like to see Rachel get ran over by a fast moving donut, but that's just my personal opinion. Or eaten by a land shark. lol

I'm still trying to piece together how F+D+Georgina would turn out but I got nothing there (if you're on the harem route).

Though I do see a F+D+Elena thing going.

Hmmm... for F+D+G, I mean I can see how D+G would get along with the mutual modeling. But getting G to go along with F+D could be tricky... maybe have them caught together and D telling G about how much F has made her life so much better that G eventually comes around.

Also, Rachel should meet Lucas. THEN Lucas drops the soap.

Lucas seems like the type of asshole that would do anything to drop the soap for a cheap thrill. ;)

Actually, given the present release cycle and the story progression speed-up of the two off-Patreon updates, DMD should easily be completed. But with 2 Chapters, rather than 3.
Essentially, these are two different games. Too many people seem fixated on the early DMD game plans before the ban. The DMD game after the ban has not only changed, as you rightly note, but is ever-changing. The fact that the slow-burn loss of virginity by D is almost certainly happening no later than 0.21 (before the ban, I was guessing 0.27-0.29) is the key indicator. DMD is being shortened in order to finish the game.
Actualy even before the Patreon ban I can't see the sex happen that later.Especialy 0.29.That will mean ch.2 must be at least 15 updates.Through ch.1 we get 1 corruption level per 2 updates.Now we at level 9 and 0.18.Following your idea sex with D will be at l.14 corruption.And that will leave only 4 more levels for ch.3 and way too many fetishes.
Before Patreon mess I was thinking no later than 0.25.Now probably 0.21-0.22.

No. When I say 0.27-0.29, it was knowing that Chapter 2 would be 12-14 updates. I thought the loss of virginity would be early Chapter 3. After the fiasco, transferring Chapter 1 points to Chapter 2, many players would have dreaded going through that again for Chapter 3. Along with the fact that the "payoff", D's virginity, was lost in Chapter 2 would have been more than enough reasons for many players to abandon further updates of DMD. To keep them interested, the studio just postponed the pay-off to Chapter 3.
The corruption flower is a big joke, a flawed concept. DMD, up to 0.16, has not been like a rocket ascending higher and higher, or the flower constantly darkening. DMD was two steps forward, one step back most of the time.
The corruption flower belongs to the DMD-on-Patreon. Very slow, but steady, progress, DMD-off-Patreon has a far different story rhythm. The corruption petals could be darkened two or three per update. Whoever thinks this isn't plausible, I'd say : a dev creates reality, he doesn't follow it.
You know there was a conversation around 0.0.4 how longer will be the game.Back then we were at level 1 corruption and some math genius said we have to wait 6-7 years before the end of DmD.
18 corruption level
1 level per 4 updates 18x4=72/6 years/
and level 18 doesn't mean game is over.Obviously.
Then Mr.Dots said DmD will be no more than 40 updates,maybe even 35.
Good memories:)

Before Patreon intervened I viewed the DMD chapter structure as, chapter 1= basic setup, in that we got the main characters and the establishment of D and F in a relationship, then chapter 2= D becoming a very sexually active young lady and the chapter ending being D getting her cherry popped, and finally chapter 3= D becoming a kinky corrupted perv.

Now chapter 3 may well be a causality of Patreon and DMD will end after chapter 2 when D gets popped, with some lesbian action along the way. So the possibility may no longer exist for D doing live bondage sex shows or D running a very special dog walking/fucking a German Shepard service.

I think there will be no Elena's unexpected enter in the day 18 in 0.19 update. It's just a ploy to make us wait next part more impatient, like the ending of ver. 0.17 (sorry for my English).

Then the extreme fetishes DO come into play. Because I firmly believe Melody will finish up before DMD.
With Elena in the lead, similar to the 3-way games (becoming bolder and bolder) already seen in DMD, many extreme fetishes beckon for those players who want them.
What I wonder is, how much more corrupt and extreme the fetishes would have become IF Patroen had not found religion?

And yes I think you are correct that Melody will in fact end before DMD. How could it not? I still don't see any major impediment to the MC hooking up with Melody that a night of good solid drinking couldn't over come.
With DMD there are built in beasts to slay before an estranged daughter and father will get busy that are not present in Melody.
I agree with you that Elena will use her newly found knowledge to her to take the lead, I'm just curious as to what she will use it to get. D to agree to become her girlfriend, or have the father start dating her. I have no idea what Elena may do in a D only path.

I still can't come up with anything for that route. The only thing I can think of would be that it may open up a FFM route anyway. But I can't really see that being forced on D for that route. I mean, it's certainly possible. It's not out of the question.

Unless Elena ignores the incest and becomes D and F's accomplice in escaping Donutistan.
I wonder if Mr.Dots considered calling the country Patreonistan?

LOL Ouch! Yeah, that'd be more fitting, all things considered.

Elena seemed a little freaked out when F and D french kissed but then again, she doesn't seem to mind the so-called "May-December" relationship with the doctor. So, yeah, I think that might work.
