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

[Catwashere]

I wouldn't take much stock in what @Catwashere posted here. This is the fourth post that I follow in which he asked for the same thing. I think he just spamming as many posts as possible in hopes that someone will take him seriously... :winkytongue:

[EDIT] Fifth, no make that six posts now...

I'm not joking and i'm done now.XD

Kinda wish they would go all out on Melody (or finish DMD quickly) as this has much better characters imho (both main girl as well as sidecast), but I guess DMD is still far more popular.

Agreed. I tried DMD and didnt like it. While this one, is much more to my liking.

what happen with this game, are they going to continue it?

Here are two quotes showing, in my mind, how I see the differences between D’s Love and Melody’s Love with their respective MC:

D: “Everyday I spend with you is the new best day of my life.” - Reliant K (lyric from “Must Have Done Something Right”)

Melody: “People always tell me either A. you love him. B. you hate him. My usual answer? C. All of the above.” - Anne Roiphe quote

Next release is near the end of June. (MDots schedule is 2 months Melody; 1 month DMD). June script is being worked right now.

I was just browsing some comments, and it got me thinking about that famous sitcom Friends that was so terribly popular. In the very first Episode, Rachel runs out on a wedding, Ross sees her in her wedding dress, he falls in love with her, and we all know exactly where the plot of the show is going. After about 7 or 8 years, they get married, by accident, still not officially together. After 9 years, they have a child together, still not officially a couple. 10 years, 10 freaking years of "I already know where this is going, why don't they" the show finally ends with the two of them together as a couple. And WHY?! Because sitcom writers learned, the hard way, that when you are writing an episodic story, the audience loses interest as soon as your central plot element reaches its logical conclusion. The rule is, "if they have sex, we'll get cancelled." When I was growing up, it was known as "The Moonlighting Effect." So, yeah, any Patreon, or any writer really, doing an on-going or episodic story is going to take their damn time, because once you reach the end, it's over. These Patreon projects are not comparable to films, they're more like TV shows.

Except both Melody and DMD are scripted as slow but advancing stories. Melody especially has a traditional three act plot line story arc used in movie and play scripts. You might get the “gets girl - loses girl - gets girl again” structure, but it won’t be like an episodic TV show like Friends.

The story seems glacial for two reasons, imo.

One: The process by the team takes a good amount of time so Melody will take 1.5-2 years to complete (about 15 monthly releases).

Two: MDot’s style will probably always be “slow burn.” That is his world view on how to create a romantic story between the Male and Female MCs. It may look like episodic TV like Friends, when it is actually a slow moving lava flow: moving forward and relentless. (Well, not exactly, but you get the point.)

Undoubtedly there are some developers who are motivated this way and make their games accordingly. However, I've been following MrDots for a while now, and he (or she?) is rather the type that just wants to tell a story. He knows where it's going to end and has mapped out most of the details of the road to get there, although some changes can be made along the way. As was mentioned, his style is a slow burn, but at least in MrDots' case, that's not milking, that's just the way he unfolds his stories (DMD and this one so far).
By the way, the writers of Friends have said that they never intended Ross and Rachel to be the big, central arc of the show. It was the fans that fell in love with it, and always wanted more.

I hope the next update is as good as the new DMD update. Worth the wait for good work.
