I have supported DMD since the beginning and have no idea which comments you are talking about - MrDots originally laid out that Patreon is for Melody and offsite payment methods are for DMD:



Patreon has thousands of patrons and the assertion that they are actively checking on his offsite activities to see if he's at all using his Patreon-routed funding for other activities strikes me as improbable. He is putting out a successful game in Melody right on their very pages and advertises its schedule in the open. It has even been discussed that Melody pledges could pause their payments for the DMD month as an option (I am not sure if MrDots has considered pausing his collections during those same months.)

I have no idea where you are going with Paypal owning Patreon - MrDots simply moved from BMAC to another payment processor (HumbleBundle) that as its own options: credit card, Paypal and Amazon.
Don't loo at the DMD page...Look at the Mr. Dots page and read. PayPal owns Patreon and placed the rules in place for removal of certain content games...If you actually go back a few hundred pages, this was all discussed before

Sure sounds like D loses her cherry in 0.20. Here's hoping it's a full scene and they don't just end it right away.

DMD v0.20 release date and new previews
We’ve set the release date for DMD v.20, which will be Friday, November 30th. We are working hard to see if we can release the game on November 24th, but for now, we’ll stick to the first date as to make sure that the update isn’t rushed, and we can include as much content as possible.

Plus, we’re well aware that this will be the last update of DMD for 2018, so we really want to go out on a high!

IMPORTANT: A LOT of important moments will happen in this update. So, make sure to tell everyone whom has an interest in DMD, that they definitely don’t want to miss this forthcoming release!

Final words
We’ll be sharing more news about DMD v.20 in the upcoming weeks. A new preview image is scheduled to be posted up tomorrow, so please stay tuned to this blog

Thanks for your constant support, it really means a lot to everyone involved in our projects.

Mrdots.

Remembrance Day isn't a holiday in Ontario. :)
really? that's weird. I just looked it up on google Nova Scotia, NWT & QC also don't recognize it as a holiday, even though it is a federal statutory holiday. I always figured since it's a federal holiday, it would be coast to coast. (i'm in Western Canada.

back on topic: so looking forward to DMD .20 being released in a few weeks!!

You actually think it's likely that Patreon is monitoring MrDots' offsite activities for actions related to a game which was dropped from their site a long while ago, since replaced by another edition which has become fairly popular in its own right and which continues to attract pledges?
Are they paying someone to monitor MrDots specifically? Probably not. Would they respond to complaints that an artist on their platform was violating their ToS? We've seen them do so.

many devs games got temp ban until they changed their games cause their games had incest or bestiality or both (my sister mia for example) and some got permaban like dmd since devs didn't change games or didn't change enough.

i don't even want to imagine the disappointment if it's going to be like that scene with jennifer
I have a feeing D will still not be impregnated by MC at the end of CH 20, and like Jenn he cant do it to D as she is also a virgin and too tight and he is too big, but i think they do try. And the fact Jenn used a dildo a few times, and D does not seem to have done, it makes sense she will still keep her flower. But maybe Elena can help her out there? maybe as part of a MFF deal the minx comes up with, holding that photo of the happy couple naked in bed, in order to get them both in bed with her being shafted by MC at her whim?? Not blackmail, but a gentle persuasion by E on D so D can convince MC to do it, as if he needed any convincing!

I do hope that photo is not seen by R, or the Father of E, as that could blow their ship out of the water, and sink any hopes of D returning with MC to his Country until she is 19y. I also hope the girls see R and (Frank?) at it, and take photo evidence to give to the solicitor, and also blackmail that manipulating greedy bitch, and then Brad dumps her like a hot potato. Making the business merger off, and having (Franks) sister drop her dislike of D at school, as that seemed to be the given reason. It might be R agrees to shared paternal rights to MC over D, meaning they can visit each other in the holidays, but we shall see.

I also think this will pan out over CH 20 - 21 at least, even though the DEVs have said:
"IMPORTANT: A LOT of important moments will happen in this update. So, make sure to tell everyone whom has an interest in DMD, that they definitely don’t want to miss this forthcoming release!"​
They Haven't stated what events and with whom, and i wouldn't expect them to, and i, like you all cant wait for CH 20 to drop to get more of this great VN.

really? :hushedface:

DMD is a one of them best game ever but 40,000$ it's huge.

And to think that I just started trying to translate it into French in my spare time :disappointed:
(a little remuneration wouldn't have hurt.)

Edit : why do people complain about an update every three months?
have the update all month, or all the three less what does it change? except to have more developed content at each release
We have a bit of a disagreement - since the other Patreon artists are making about $5 per patron the amount should be $20k per month, or 240k a year. Now, in my county, a senior sheriff deputy makes about half that, before adding on health benefits, retirement benefits, etc.

MDots makes twice that, gets no medical or retirement and pays for whatever he pays Hearsz who writes and codes at least 20 hours a week (just a guess - I don’t go over people’s schedule in detail).

So do I have an issue if he is making twice the pay of two deputy sheriffs, minus business expenses? Not really. The same reason I don’t mind actors getting paid large amounts for roles they play in films. If you like an artist product, then the this income amount should not make a difference. If you don’t like an artist product, then why are you following that artist?

Sorry, this is a soap box I get on perhaps 3 time a year.

Problem is how could Patreon tell you what to do on your own site?
They might get pissed but how could they realistically tell someone how to spend the money being made from a game even if it is on their site (Melody to fund DMD).
Plus Patreon really likes their share of the Mr.Dots Melody conformist money, so why jeopardize the income going after something that is not directly connected with their site.
Still Patreon sucks.

Patreon removed one of the biggest creators on the site (animo), who was bringing in over 100K, outright even after he sanitized his patreon page and removed all links to his site where he hosts the actual content.
If Patreon do no like what you do or if one of their partners does not like it (PayPal and Mastercard are notorious for this) they will delete your shit and not even give a reason why. Does not matter how much money you make them, politics rule
