VN Ren'Py Completed Dating My Daughter [Ch. 1-4 v1.01] [MrDots Games]

[Kharnadon]

To be fare I only found this game a week ago so I did not know of any delays and such but I agree if turns into a sex-fest it might put me of to :relievedface:

 

[Wellthisisinteresting]

I'm liking the slow burn in this game it's nice to play a game with a good story some branching paths and doesn't go OTT with sex scenes.

I agree, I think this game has a really good pacing and that is very rare in adult games, at least the ones I played. Makes you feel a lot more immersed in the story this way but I know not everyone gets immersed in these games, but I do :winkytongue:

I'm sorry if this question has already been answered, but I've waded through over 100 pages of comments and not found the solution yet.

When I try to launch DMD.CH2.exe nothing happens.

If I play around with the compatibility in the Properties tab and check Run in 640x480 resolution I can get a few seconds of black screen before everything closes down.

I've tried loading different save points and getting the end Ch1 screen from multiple angles. I've tried all the combinations in Compatibility tab and DPI settings and running old versions of Windows. I've tried copying the save folder into my folder location and in the AppData folder. I tried loading the save points in the forum to get the end screen. I disabled my dual monitor display with no effect. I'm pretty much out of ideas. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

LOL!
DMD was slow-burn from 0.02-0.16 (0.01 was not but was drastically revised as part of 0.02).
DMD 0.17 was meant to be updated on Patreon January 27. Instead, it was banned the day before. When it was released off-Patreon, February 14, the dev said a scene was added originally meant for 0.18. The bj scene, by all reckoning. So, 0.17 is a hybrid : more on-Patreon than not ; not quite slow-burn anymore because of the bj scene (the first time 2 new sex acts had been shown in one update).
DMD 0.18 sped up the quantity of "new" sex scenes even more.

So, DMD was slow-burn while on Patreon. Now, on a 3-month cycle and players hungry for "action", such is no longer the case.
An easy prediction is that DMD WILL turn into a sex-fest. I don't want to see it happen and am seriously considering dropping the game at that point. But all indicators at present point in that direction.

Depends what your definition of sex-fest is. If you mean D will basically jump from one sexual encounter to another throughout the update with very little rationale as to why other than gratuitous sex scenes then yes I agree this would be off putting to many of us long time fans.
However if each update becomes about D exploring new sexual experiences (and partners) while D and F try to resolve what their relationship is going to be then its less of a mindless sex romp and more of D becoming who she is once her mother's domineering influence is removed.
Who knows maybe D is at heart slutty.
As far as the slow burn tempo of DMD I think someone (in the far future) who plays after the game is complete may not see the slow progress as we do who are constantly waiting for more content. It's like reading a book series as it is being written as opposed to reading it after the author finishes the opus.

Every time I try saving...

Hi. I dont see why you should be getting this error, so can't get to the root of it, but can give you a temporary solution.
First off ingame open the console and type in:

import sys
sys.getrecursionlimit()

it should return 1000 (renpy default value). If not, there is your problem.
To increase this value:

sys.setrecursionlimit(n)

n being a higher value like 1500 or 100000. See if this works, and post feedback on before/after.

First, had to look up changing renpy/00console.rpy to turn console on.

When checking the recursion limit, I did get 1000 back. Without going further, I closed console and tried saving, no go.

I reopened the game and changed the recursion limit as instructed, and saving works now!

By "sex-fest",
One way or another, I expect DMD to "go off the rails" (similar to Dream of Desire in its finale). Oc, if the paying consumers accept this state of affairs--fine!
But, really. DMD 0.16 should be viewed as the end of DMD I. Since then, we are in DMD II. I believe after D gets popped, we will have a DMD III. Players just assume a certain amount of continuity between the sections. This is usually a false assumption in VNs claiming to have a story to tell...

Very valid grouping of DMD.
In a way DMD could end when D gets popped and a new game start. DMD has become for lack of a better term a romance story between D and her dad. D being more corrupt and less the naive little girl we have come to know can irreparably alter DMD. If done right this could become a natural evolution of her new found sexual curiosity(?) but to be plausible it would have to be slow and D may have to become more jaded.
D will then become more of a master of her own fate, or F will have to become an uber sleaze, abusing his daughter's trust to make her his personal sex-doll.

 

[I.W.]

I news some help, how the chapters work? Do the fiesta and beggining from zero the second? Take a save from one and put in on second ?? I read OP after doing this questions but no clue ...Ty!

If I remember correctly, you should just be able to play the first chapter through, and it should automatically pull up the information in chapter 2.

 

[RustyV]

If you consider the DMD time frame (not real world update time) D has gone from shy girl who just met her estranged father to blowing him on public transportation in a very short amount of time.

Well that is how mostly visual novels work. Their time frame is short and the sexual awakening is fast, when looking at the real time frame. But then again, when you think about it, it's pretty crazy to go on a vacation and everything just as you estranged daughter first came all the way to your country to see you in the first place.

But there has never been an adequate or plausible explanation for her transformation. Many players have just assumed D is REALLY dumb, conveniently ignoring the many instances when she is not.
So, D may as well be a multi-polar freak capable of anything. THIS is the single biggest flaw in DMD. It represents either very bad, or very cynical, writing by the dev-team.

No, it represents most of the male written romance gerne. They are good ar writting the chase, but not on what comes after our the sexual stuff. the chase is what happened in chapter 1, once father stopped monologueing to himself how oeh bad this is ala twillight style. But the chase is over they became kind of oficial bf and gf. And now the romance and sex has to be written, and no continueing the slow build up, at the end of chapter 2 it probably is planned that sex will happen. I do not have huge problems with that, as it's standard. I mostly have problems with plot points that go nowhere really and or that are worthless. Like her being taken by her mother did not amount to anything, but a scenery change basically. Which could have been done with her and Elena running away.
edit: also which controlling mother that bassically took her daughter forcefully back home would allow any contact with the bad influence (Elena), or let them go on a trip instead of being grounded for the next comming months?

I have praised this game for having a good story, but there is one plot hole that did annoy me it is when you see the lawyer and say when D turns 19 she can leave with the MC and that's only 6 months away. Why don't the MC take the job as part time for 6 months let D finish school also getting to know her MC better before moving together this to me was a silly thing to put in because if D and MC love each other 6 months should be nothing compared to spending the rest of your lives together.

Still liked the though

I thought that too.. like, just wait. Have Dad stick around and just chill. But then again, Mother could get her husband to drive MC off from town since he's apparently so influential.

D clearly doesn't want to be there (especially now that she knows Rachel blatantly lied to her about F),
and the MC is in her country at the moment, which is several hours flight away from his own home.

And he still has his apartment back there to consider. Plus if you're on the Georgina or Jennifer paths, there's that as well. He can't just up and leave everything just to wait things out for six months for D to turn 19.
That makes no sense to me at all. I'd want to figure out a way to get her out asap too if I were F!
It would well and truly put an end to things where Rachel (and Brad) wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

Just my two cents.

 

[Kharnadon]

I have a felling that Rachels secret lover is going to be D's ex (unless there is something I missed) E will catch them at it and record it and the MC will use a leverage to get custody.

Is there any information about 0.19?

 

[estebu]

Is there any update in progress ? The last is from May 5th.... (?)

Is it worth adding a "Next updated expected in/on..." to the OP?

It probably is, not that many will actually read it. Or they will just complain when/if it's late....

Well, there's supposed to be an official announcement around the end of this month on when v.19 is expected to be released.
