I'm glad MrDots has made a positive response. At least this thread won't take on an "Onhold" notice, at least when there is a firm date.
But there are pitfalls aplenty as well. I personally will not play Melody. I've tried, and failed, to get interested in non-incest games. Immersion is "king" NOT implausible story lines that always lead to sex. DMD is special. Few games truly are.
I could ask a million questions about DMD but virtually none will be adequately answered at this time. To expect DMD fans to support Melody is problematical. Beauty, and immersion, is in the eyes of each person. So let each person decide for himself.
Oh well! Putter around here for a while yet...
