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

[bluehound36]

It's amazing that this happened to bb and now mrdots. I've said it before, i'll say it again after reading the last several pages of this thread, none of them are going to be allowed to remain on patreon. I wish most of the devs had listened to everyone trying to tell them to find alternative ways to get their games out to their patrons, months ago when this all first started. Now, most of them will end up having to scramble to find just that. Odds are quite a few of them will being going on hiatus soon. Some may end up folding entirely over this and mrdots' idea to switch to a completely different game indicates just that. Scammer or milker or whatever people want to keep calling it (though i definitely think he was milking it a bit), he at least had support to develop the game. Now, he'll lose that support if he doesn't continue developing DmD on some other site. Even if he comes up with something that's just as good, people will not forget that he folded to a bunch of a pricks.

Wow.... what a rollercoaster. First reading about the Revenge of the Patreon and the unknown future of DmD... a few sites later... A new Hope for everyone and that DmD will finished.
Maybe not sending only your support to him but suggestions of what he can do for his game. There were a few interesting concepts posted in this thread for further evaluation...

To use the new game as a ruse to continue (and financing) of DmD. Maybe use something like Discord (with different "tier" channels for preview, game etc.). Like a patreon light...

But nontheless I'm very happy that the game will have a future

You are mixing up your movies here.

It was "Patreon strikes back" a few pages before, followed by announcement of "Return of the Daughter".
:closedtongue:
This said, yes, very happy that this is not the end of the story.

He might have to do like some others and change his patreon to something not as controversial, and continue to make DMD on a website for free. It could lose some money for the interim, but if the other game is a hit and conforms to the Patreon NAZI's rules. DMD can still be made as long as its is not referred to at all on the Patreon. He could just do art for all I know and put his game as an added on his website.

Post from mrdotsgames.com

Hey guys!

I’m creating this post so that everyone can join in the discussion. I know I have many fans from other sites like f95zone, and I know there are people who can’t financially support me so I’d like to read everyone’s thoughts here.

As I said in my Patreon post, we will try to continue developing DMD on dmdgame.com. v.17 is going to be released in Mid-February to those who pledged during January. I’ve got your email addresses so I can add them to an email autoresponder.

Patreon has practically forced us to create another game in order to keep the page alive, so we can’t offer DMD there anymore. It was either that or seeing our account getting banned.

It’s not what we wanted, so we’ll see how that goes. But our main project will always be DMD.

The project won’t be canceled but we will work at a slower rate than when we’re on Patreon, mainly because we have to look for another payment alternative and we’ll also have to focus on the new game as well. But don’t worry, DMD will be finished no matter what!

We are looking at some potential solutions but for now, we are not entirely convinced. As much as I hate Patreon, they are the best and we might have to wait for a long while until we see some serious competition.

I’ll be reuploading Dating My Daughter: Chapter 1 and Ch.2 v.16 (Without censorship!) to site like Payhip, Gumroad, etc. tomorrow. I don’t know how long they will last, but at least those who didn’t like the censored game will be able to get the original one and also help us financially.

We knew this day would come eventually, and to be honest, I’m kinda glad that DMD is out of there. Patreon was killing my creativity, with all the censorship, the patches, and I’m not sure if my patience would have lasted much longer.

DMD will become Dating My Daughter again, and I’m really excited about that

Thank you for being a loyal fan of the game. I really appreciate that and those who experienced the first censorship wave, you know that I would never choose a big company over my fans.

Talk to you soon!

Mrdots.

P.S. I’ve received HUNDREDS of messages on Patreon, here and on Discord. I’ll be responding to each one of them but It’s going to take me a while, so please be patient

Consider this a staff bump to bring important highlight, to a post.

Well, that's my weekend ruined. But seriously, having the next update so close I could almost smell it and having it snatched away at the last moment because of harassment from 'The Man' made me realise how much I had been looking forward to it. Quite a lot, it seems. That shit is fucked up right there. Boils my piss something fierce it does. Fuck².

 

[Catoblepas]

But don't you think a rushed ending would be just as bad as simply stopping right now? Or even worse?

I think that is exactly what he'll do though. He'll create an ending in march, the last release. And since he won't be getting money for it, it'll be the most heartless thing ever, leaving a bitter taste in everyone's mouth. It'll be the saddest wank in everyone's lives.

That's a tall order; I've had some very sad ones indeed.

I am leaving for a few days in a bit, but while I am shocked - this was to be expected. My guess is that his Doughnut project (hiding the incest) didn't do much good for his reputation either and possibly made him target #1 to set an example.

The best thing he can do is the following: cut all ties between DMD <=> Patreon and put the focus on a new, simple - very simple game. Promote the dummy game, and use it to rebuild his reputation with Patreon. While doing that - inform ALL current paying Patreons that root for his cause, using an e-mail service outside of Patreon - that they do not have to worry about DMD. As long as they keep on supporting, he will keep on developing DMG and send it to those that do. He already has everyone's emails and has a site running. He doesn't need more than that - just need to set boundaries.

As long as he is smart enough not to affiliate DMD with Patreon - he should be good. He shouldn't expect more pay though..

Sucks that we have to wait, but now he has been set free we should be able to get some KICKASS updates.

Do you guys think there will be some "sharing" possibilities with that beard guy Helena is interested in? He offered to take the girls to school and the D can choose to go with him or the F. Choosing to go with that other guy will result in some sexy content, or do you think it's just a throwaway option that will lead to nowhere? There have been many of those in this game so far...

Except Patreons rules aren't that ridiculous, Mrdots is literally the only dev I'm seeing with this problem, which is to be expected when his entire game game is built around one of the things patreon banned.

 

[branek]

DarkSilver (creator of Big Brother) got hit with this bullshit a few days ago aswell.

 

[Jeff Steel]

Puppy!!!! I made a scene pitch regarding a puppy! (Non-sexual). So excited if this portends that scene! Pupppy!!!!!!!

 

[Wol]

DarkSilver (creator of Big Brother) got hit with this bullshit a few days ago aswell.

Once again, DarkSilver's game is ALSO solely built around incest, which Patreon freaking banned, I don't know what they were expecting when they had their games entirely built around a single fetish, especially since other games where incest content isn't the main focus have managed to slip completely under the radar.

I'm kinda lost in the post spam. So, because of all this, Mr. Dots isn't going to release 0.17 at all tomorrow (on locations outside of Patreon)? Even though it was just a day away?

He is posting it soon but not tomorrow by the looks of it. It will still release.

Nope no release tomorrow. I doubt even MrDots knows exactly when he'll release at the minute. He was unable to finish the update this week due to dealing with Patreon bulls**t

 

[fenix Negro]

Then the new update will be in February? Is there a specific date?

Yes.
He is at least a week behind because of all this, and with things he has to do/change won't be able to work on the game yet.
We were told to expect new update mid february.

Thanks for catching me up to speed (you and everyone else who replied). I really hope things work out for Mr. Dots and he can keep making DMD.
