VN Ren'Py Completed Melody [v1.00 Extras] [MrDots Games]

[Hyperserver]

At the very least, I expect the game shall bother to acknowledge the substantial difference between a MC/Melody exclusive relationship and a MC/Melody/Sophia polyamorous one in terms of distinct endings. I would deem it seriously lacking otherwise. I may accept different job commitments shall keep the paths of Xianne and the music threesome separate enough to qualify her role as mostly just (occasional) sex. But if you pursue the threesome route, the paths of MC, Em, and Fi are going to interwine all the time, professionally and in terms of erotic/friendship/romantic bond. Plus the three of them seem custom-made to form a top-quality band, and it would be a real pity if the game does not bother to acknowledge the artistic talent of the other characters just to make Melody's star shine all the more brighter.

Having this kind of more balanced ending would create a substantial difference from the vanilla one where the MC just ends up being the professional and romantic enabler of Melody's superstar greatness. Adding elements to balance this would help correct one serious flaw in an otherwise excellent game, the MC feeling like a bland, passive, beta supporter of the female characters' destinies.

i think you will be not disappointed by hoping for this

Becca, Amy and Izzy all live in entirely different places. The only threesome planned is Sof and Melody and that may not include an ending.

Harem aint happening. It's pretty impossible.

Lock/unlock is fine if all you want is the scenes but it's a dating sim so I play it for the relationships.

I Played for harem... rip that not gonna replay all :/

You played for a path that never existed?

Just remember that Melody is a VN which claims to have a well written story with sexual content. It is NOT a "game" where you have to convince/corrupt the characters into a fucking sex orgy feast where MC is supposed to fuck everything he can reach at same time!

EDIT: my personal thoughts - and i know i may have many opinions against me - the actual amount of sex scenes is nearly too much though ... i mean the content is: sex... having a scene somewhere... comming back for sex.... having another scene... comming back for sex ... and so on. Compared to the "natural written" story until last update, this is really hard on beeing overdone and should be taken care not to "destroy" the good story by too much sex.
Of course i understand other thoughts about this, but thats just my personal opinion.

And I am most thankful for this. Now I just have to wait for our zany trio to find the right spot in their full schedule and sneak under the nose of Hank's crew to seal their bond.

By the way, the main characters trying to keep their relationship a secret (even more so if/when it gets enlarged into a threesome with another artist) certainly works up to a degree to add a little comedy/drama complication to the story, but only stays barely realistic up to a point. The subculture they belong to is famously one with the loosest standards for sexual/romantic relationships and related professional boundaries. People expect the wild sex in 'sex, drugs, and rock & roll' for a reason. They are not going to be baffled by something as vanilla as manager and artist being in a relationship, or coworkers/bandmates getting into a threesome, even in this sad neo-Victorian social atmosphere. The MC and Melody's secrecy may be justifiable up to a point due to their caution and insecurity (Bethany's messing and Hank's bumbling about it did not help), but past that their assumption that Hank's crew is going to act like the HR of a company with a no-fraternization policy grows ridiculous. These are artists and budding celebrities, and the girls are college-age young adults.

I think in most games, you can tell early on whether you can have a harem or not.

This one was obviously a single girl at a time game, everything from MC's inner thoughts to what the girls personalities and thoughts/actions gave it away. The main girl (Melody) and MC have kept their relationship secret from everyone besides Sophia and Xianne so far.

If you have to have it in the .exe, try copying one over from an older version. They should be the same.
No idea why he thought saving 15kb would have made that much difference.

They are not the same, the new exe is 4 times larger. Haven't checked why, hence the icon.

Anyone has old version icon .exe and some scipt file to make icon on .exe?
please put 2 file in a zip ? thanks.

You need a thirdparty program. No idea which one is best, google should have the answer.

Regarding the new audio, yes it's appreciated that the dev got a 1300 songs library, but was it really necessary to throw the three songs in there that are on continuous loop in Daughter for Dessert?

I hardly think it was intentional. Imagine how much time it would take to check out other devs games just to make sure you don't use the same tracks as anyone else?
I mean, there's at least four devs that I know of that are using songs from that exact same library of music, so some songs are bound to be re-used in other games (just like character or set designs - how many versions of D from DMD have been copied and used as a base model now?).

I've counted at least 20+ different songs used in Milfy City alone from this library (which are not listed in his menu), good ones too. Besides, it's not as though DFD has never borrowed ideas from DMD before...

Was anyone able to get score 335 or is there a mistake in the walkthrough? I'm on pure Melody path and only have 333.

fun-fucking-tastic update!!

 

[botc76]

You played for a path that never existed?

And which the game basically warned him about each update, by making it clear that sooner or later shit would fly, if you try to go after all the ladies.

I mean, not like I didn't go for it as long as possible, but I always knew it stops at one point.
And tbh, with the relationship management it's pretty easy to take one save and go through all possible options.

 

[Avaron1974]

I legit don't get it.

Neither Amy nor Melody showed any sign of wanting incest or being close enough that it would ever be brought up. No woman ever mentions being okay with the MC being with other women.

Both Becca and Amy want him to move with them to other cities in an exclusive relationship.

Melody and Amy both get pissed if it turns out you were with both of them.

Where, oh where, are people getting a harem from here?

It's been obvious since near the start a harem was never on the cards yet here we are, nearing the end after the shit has already hit the fan once with Amy and Melody and i'm seeing people shocked that a harem isn't happening.

A harem people have been told for months isn't coming.

I am genuinely confuddled.

It's like people see words on the screen and ignore them.

The MC turned down sex on the road when he was with Bethany because it's not in him to cheat.

 

[wankingbastard]

I believe the endings are bugged this update, no matter what I do I end up with the ex.

 

[Fantabaldu]

I believe the endings are bugged this update, no matter what I do I end up with the ex.

There is an important mayor bug in the last release about endings; in next days probably will be release a patch to fix this problem.
I quote the post by Hyperserver , with all explications

IMPORTANT MESSAGE:
Due to a major bug/ coding error on the Amy and Rebecca paths, it leads to one of the game endings, which it's not supposed to. If you do not wish to see this ending, then please do not play on either of these two paths until the end of Week 12 until this bug is fixed. MrDots will upload this patch and any other errors found in the game within the next 24-48hours. The Melody romance path still works fine and as intended to be, but other combinations/ other paths with the other girls (mentioned above) will lead to an unwanted outcome right now, which will prevent you from seeing the "real" endings in the next couple of updates. So we STRICTLY recommend to keep your current savepoint at end of last update until the patch is out and to be patient. We apologize for this issue and as always, we thank you for your patience and feedback.

EDIT:
maybe keep that into OP until there is a patch

Does anyone have a save from the last version? Lost mine.

Signs of our time. You can show people facts on the screen, written, in pictures, film, sound etc... they'll just ignore everything that doesn't fit what they want to believe.

Best example politics.

Full saves? I lost mine

EDITED TO FOLLOW BOARD RULES.

Maybe... sure. I'm an "amygdala trumps the pre-frontal cortex" person... every time.

And I want what I want. It's not about facts. It's about feelings (a heresy these days I know).

And, to keep in topic, I've played enough porn games where "there are consequences... honest..." and in the end... there aren't.

So yeah, people here are 100% right that "consequences" were there day 1. Yet, I've played other games when every sleazy thing the MC ever did... and the MC got zip consequences... and a harem.

Which means, yes, you're right that everything was said from the start... but instead... I believe my eyes that other games didn't follow through with consequences (including mainstream games... cough... Mass Effect 3... cough), so unlike yourself and others, I'm actually disappointed that I can't Pokemon gotta catch em all in Melody.

Finally, as I've said in other posts, I don't especially like harem per se (!) but I'm not going to play a game 10+ times to get the various endings with each woman. Heck, I'm sad DMD doesn't have a full harem (you pick between Jennifer and Georgina... for starters). At least here, I can mess with the switches in the menu and check out the other women scenes.

Off Topic = for those liking harem / multiple girls... Adventures of Willy D... seriously... check out that game.

If there's an actual harem ending with that game (there's what? 30? 40? 50? women) my GPU would melt from rendering the scene...

Just check the tags. It's pretty simple. If it has a harem tag it's a harem game and if it doesn't have a harem tag probably not going to be a harem game. These things can change as a game develops but don't expect them to change it for you a couple of updates from the end. It was never going to happen in Melody and if you'd been paying attention you would've worked that out for yourself.
If you feel there is actually some way it could've worked as a harem please explain it because for me there's just no way that could make any sense but I'm ready to be blown away by whatever creative plot twist you've got.

 

[arms99]

I'm wondering are Sophia and Xianne getting their own endings?

I'm asking because they don't seem to be as integrated into the story as the other girls, which makes me wonder if they're just supporting characters in Melodys story ark
