The bright side of Amanda going to the dark side is that the game is ending soon and we won't have to put up with her shit for much longer. This new "Summer School" game looks way more promising than the future of DFD anyways. Meanwhile, I'm still stoked about the other new game that I don't think we've heard squat about yet, but the 2D artwork for it looks great.

How about another concept from "Summer School"? (Yes, we are changing the name.) This is a game that will be coming very soon, while DFD is running. It's a 1080p game using our new engine and will be released monthly.

Looks like patented damage control attempts by Palmer...
New game does look really promising though! We can only hope the main love interest/interests can avoid the Amanda character assasination treatment!
All the comments were saying they don't like Amanda anymore or her behavior is out of character, and apparently this wasn't the response Palmer wanted because it's locked behind a paywall now. Incredible.

Sounds like a typical "everydody else is wrong but im right!" Situation...
Personally, I don't see a problem with people saying they don't like Amanda, either now, or never have. Different people, different tastes, different judgments ...
It's just (*prepares to do best impression he can of Usain Bolt*), the fault & problems might not entirely be on Amanda's side ...

We are always open to feedback and listen closely to it. Damage control? No way. Me and AW are happy with Ch 14 and Amanda's reasons for distancing herself, and her emotions changing between rage - quietness - sexual feelings, etc. Because she doesn't know what to do. Especially given her age. We feel that makes sense regarding what she just learned the MC had done to her mom. But we do listen very closely to how other people react to it, and debate whether we should have gone another way instead.

The comment is already here and please continue making comments to it. Due to the new layout of the Patreon posting system and doing so many public post recently I clicked the wrong tier button. Simple as that. But you already have the entire comment here and I'd be happy to answer questions, etc. Have a good one bud!

That would absolutely be a valid point but you forget the next few chapters have been spoiled here already and the reason does NOT match up at all with her reaction.
Great pic of the (real) star of the game.
If I had one suggestion for Palmer - and there's really only one - it's to give Heidi (or if Heidi is too much in control of herself, Kathy) her own game. It could go anywhere. Dealing with men, with women, with parents, with business, with health, with society, with life, anything. But such rare stars deserve their own billing! ...
) And what could be a problem with others, they are by no means friction- and problem-free characters or lives, so I don't think it very likely it would get boring very easily!

They have not been spoiled by me, and no, I don't agree with you. Agree to disagree then!
If there was a double-like button, that would be a candidate.
No, I am not sucking up, I don't want anything from you, Palmer.
(Except more Heidi. Only kidding. I hope the springs of creativity and technical excellence, and wellsprings of life, keep flowing sweetly for you and your team. Keep it up!)
Regardless of if you have spoiled them or not, the next chapters have been spoiled and the reason is pretty silly. The aunt doesn't even have proof of how MC did this supposed crime or that he did it at all, but Amanda just takes her word for it knowing full well that the aunt hates MC and would say/do anything to "unmake him".
And if it's just an accident locking the patreon post to only $5 patrons ( locked out $10/$20 patrons), then unlock it, dude. It looks like you just can't accept criticism right now between locking the post and telling everyone they're wrong for interpreting Amanda's actions as unlikable and unreasonable.

But I just said we'd appreciate feedback and listen very closely to what you have to say
There is a difference from what people that do not support us say after a free chapter, and what people that support us say from following along the story. That's why this was supposed to be a patron only post. If you have feedback, I'd happily to listen to it. And if you have questions and/or doubts, I'd be happy to answer those too!
Also, there are more girls than Amanda in DFD

@Palmer
The following is in no way meant offensive, I'll just try to shed some light on how I feel (and maybe this is close to how some/many of the "vocal protesters" feel/felt - just written calmly):
The problem for me personally is not Amanda being insecure / unsure what to make of everything, for me it's the combination of these things:
1) Amanda (and most importantly the relationship with her) was forced on us - given the game's title this is a totally reasonable premise, but it's something that has to be kept in mind if you want to avoid alienating her...
(I fell for Kathy very early on and if I had the opportunity it would be "Kathy for Every-Part-Of-The-Meal", but that's just me)
2) We (as the player) have obviously a) done something or b) are at least accused of having done something, but we're totally unaware of what that is...
2.1) If we have done something - and there might be actual evidence for that - then it's illogical that WE have no idea what that fuzz is about - OR
2.2) If we have done nothing there can't be actual evidence for something and thus it makes no sense that both Master-Detective-Moe (who in the early chapters felt like would've caught a bullet for us) goes full-hatred-mode and Amanda goes from "deepest adoration ever" to "basic bitch" with neither of them even remotely trying to establish communication with us about whatever issue there might be...
3) The circumstance that this story is POV and not in spectator-mode and on top being interactive, where we are engaged personally and shall decide to a certain degree what and how it's happening, but neither are we able to engage anyone on that topic nor does anyone engage us about it, makes this feel incredibly unsatisfying...
...the circumstance that this "plot darkness/blindness" is going on for months now (at least for free-chapter-leechers (myself included)) tastes like a rotten cherry on top of our slice of cake.
Your work has introduced me to the world of Visual Novels a little over a year ago and I am very thankful for that and hold your work in high regards, but the current state of the story (what we know; what we don't know; how people are acting on us) just feels unreasonable.
I have very little doubt that the solution to this stuff is on the close horizon, but for the time being I at least understand why some people are in "open rebellion"...

A difference like free users not having a sunk cost fallacy? They didn't spend money on it so they don't feel like they've wasted anything if they don't like it? If anything, I would think you would want to give a little extra thought to the people who don't financially support you since they're less biased in your favor. Give your fans and backers the love they deserve, but to say, "Well if you don't give us money your opinion isn't worth much!" is crappy.
Okay. Let's do this, then.

That NPC is a joke. The silhouettes are awkward and stylistically inappropriate. You guys have high end equipment. Would it kill you to render better backgrounds?
Cecilia's model is flat and one-dimensional (much like her character) and the expressions are disappointing for someone who has been doing this for years. Surely you can do better.

The sound quality (aside from Candy's beautiful voice acting, which she does all the work for as you revealed in your stream. You should pay her more for what she does for you) is poor. You make an upwards of $50k/month and you can't afford some licensed sound effects? The door sound is the god damn AIM alert noise. The background chatter is the same thing over and over on loop, including the obvious "see you guys later" every thirty seconds.
The other girl options hardly mean shit when you force us into a relationship with Amanda. She's the focus. People didn't have a choice and are rightly frustrated by her character derailment.
And outside of the game, you treat your fans very poorly. People aren't unintelligent because they don't like Amanda's character anymore and don't think her actions are justified. You called out some random user in your discord who had literally never spoken before because you thought it might be one of the people who had critiqued you here. Anyone who disagrees or says they don't like the way something was written is told they are wrong and that the writing makes perfect sense with passive aggressive smiley faces. You delete negative comments and only respond to people here because you can't control the narrative. You implied anyone who doesn't support you with their checkbook doesn't have a worthwhile opinion. We can't all rake in fifty thousand dollars a month to gamble away in poker.

How about we give out the game for free, listen to your feedback, etc?
Sorry you don't like the game, hope you find something that fits you better! Have a good one buddy!
