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

[Deleted member 3313072]

yea besides melody and 3some ending which leads to good ending. subendings are nice.

MFF/MFFF are never my thing in games. I think the only game I have that in is Parental Love (MC/Elly/Ada - only because it's my favorite ending in that game as well) but it's no something I really enjoy choosing or watching. Even with gallery mods I have, I never look at the scenes that are unlocked with them. I guess it's my viewpoint or how I am in real life and all.

I said it before in this thread, in my opinion this game is all about Melody, and her career, not about building a harem or a threesome thing. To me, that's being selfish and not allowing her to become the star she obviously was meant to be and WANTS to be. To me, those are the selfish endings where you have her and either one or both of the other girls in a mini-harem, and I also see it as her mother would NOT want that for her.

Not what this game is about in my eyes. Yes it's a game, and not real, but to me, all of those other things are just temptation, and luckily, nothing I care to see or choose. The other girls never did anything for me in this game and this is one of the very very VERY few games where I have a redhead as a LI (the other game is HH)

But Melody's solo love story is so good and feels so right and gets me very emotional at times when I run through it. Just the kind of person I am.

This is one of my favourite visual novels so far. Keep up the good work and thanks!

I ran through Amy's path last night and it definitely felt wrong. I was more attracted to Amy as her age is closer to my real life age and I'm not as interested in young college girls in general. However, I have to say, it was quite, as you said previously, hollow. There was so much let down and loss in the game, even if in the end it seemed to be the "best ending" for Melody that I actually felt sad when it was over. Knowing what I know now, I'm unsure if I'll run a Becca story line or not. I assume it'll be pretty much the same as the Amy path, just with Becca. Not really sure.

I really loved the different stages of the Melody story arc. I loved learning more about each other, getting closer and spending more time together, comforting her and guiding her. All these things make a very compelling and enjoyable game.

Now I do have to do a pregnancy run through still...

You're probably not going to like the pregnancy ending with Melody. I felt it very sad, very wrong. This game, with her, is so uplifting, so romantic at times. Like you said, watching their relationship progress, grow; friends, good friends, best friends, first kiss, them admitting they like each other, etc. I have a save page just for those major steps including the Perfect Ending.

Anything else than that in this game is just wrong in my opinion.

To be honest here, I got this game about two weeks or so ago. I've played SIX times in those two weeks because I just love it so damn much. 5 Perfects, 1 Good (out of curiosity) and I have to admit I am head over heels in love with this game. I couldn't even begin to tell you how many screenshots of this game I took.

It's just so good.

Are incomplete scenes completed now?

Are incomplete scenes completed now?

As far as I know yes. The entire game is done. I've been through it six times in the last 14 days and from the looks of it it's certainly complete and pretty solid of a game.

LoL You're killing me! Now I'm dreading doing that and I just want to see it. Sigh.

I got the game a week ago. I did 4 run throughs getting "good" endings (2 of the games were just reverting to earlier saves at major decision points) before I finally looked at the walkthrough to get a perfect ending. I thought the initial song/book hardness quizzing might have more impact, but once I saw the walkthrough went with the easy ones.

Sigh. Think I'll do my Becca run (and cry) tonight and then attempt the pregnancy run (and cry) next.

I have no desire to try an Izzy run through (felt that was a VERY shallow relationship) and no way in hell I'd ever got back to Bethany! Heck, I'm not even happy with how Stove turned out in the perfect path either. Why can't he just be an asshole you never hear from again? Why do you have to try and make him a sympathetic foil? Grrrrr.

Edit: Side note: What's your favorite game, excluding Melody & Sisterly Love... I'm gonna try that next.

alright, this is how I do things:

My avatar is always my #1 game and girl, so it's been City of Broken Dreamers for a long, long time, and the girl is Katie. Milfy City is my co-#1 with Caroline, and Melody is #2.

You can try City of Broken Dreamers, and maybe Leap of Faith (especially for more sadness, love and a few tears) & Intertwined is very good too. And of course there's Acting Lessons, which REALLY messed me up for almost a week. Avalon is very good too, but it's not a game where you make choices, you just really click through and watch the story unfold, but it's very good, and can get very emotional. I suggest if you do Avalon, pick Octavia, and do the Monogamy route. You'll see what I mean if you play it.

FYI, only the easy quiz books give points by the way.

When it comes to Melody's pregnancy ending, well, you'll see. I mean, she's 19 and wants a music career right? You'll see what happens. Let me know what you think when you completed it.

 

[Deleted member 3313072]

I always try to pick the most wholesome girl in each game for a "true love" feel to it. I personally don't think I've ever been wrong in my choices there. In most if not all my listed games in my signature, I can pretty much say I'm very happy with the girls and the games I've chosen to play.

only some extra scenes are incomplete and will stay that way but those don't matter.

My apologies for not thinking about the gallery scenes. Forgot there were two scenes unfinished (not that I would ever want to see them)

Thanks for the games info... as for the pregnancy, well I actually really liked it. Little Melissa was so cute and when she was a toddler and I called and she said "Hi daddy" and "I love you daddy", I almost cried. My youngest of 4 is in high school and it's been a long time since I heard "daddy". (When I hear "I miss you 3000" I tear up too.)

I did do the Becca story line too. It was pretty much the same as doing the Amy one, but I there seemed to be a little more content and I think it complimented the MC life better than with Amy.

The perfect ending is clearly the best. Here are my rankings:
1) Perfect
2) Pregnancy
3) Becca
4) Regular Good
5) Amy
(Did not do Izzy or Bethany, and it didn't seem like you could do a Sophia or Xianne ending either.)

No Xianne & Sophia are only part of Melody's ending if you want a MFF or MFFF.

The thing I don't like at the pregnancy ending is that she's 19, with a kid, at home, while he's touring. Yes she may look happy, but I would think she'd be happier living her dream, not singing at a nightclub or taking care of a kid almost alone while he's out touring.

It's not fair to her at all, and as cute as it may be, I just think it's really wrong. It actually made me blow smoke out of my ears because none of it is fair to her. You know what I mean? I mean, like Sophia said, it's not the 50s anymore.

That's my take on it at least.

I get 405 points every run I do and I can never ever not do the Perfect ending again. Just how I feel about this game and it's pretty strong.

 

[Tor7]

I mean, she's 19 and wants a music career right?

This is the first game I've played where the MC is actually significantly closer to my age I would guess late 30's, unless I missed some details. I know he was with Bethany for 8 years and she was a fan girl. But how long did he play before he met her? And he did go to college too.

Usually the MC is college aged or right around there (granted I've only played a half dozen VNs.) So I actually identify closer with the MC in this game than I have in any others and Melody's age actually bothers me because she is so young. That's why I liked Amy at first, because she was 31 & more mature.

With Melody, you are looking at almost a 20 year age gap... Although the game doesn't show it, Melody has daddy issues. She doesn't know anything about her father. Arnold has clearly stated that she is not his child and his actions show he doesn't feel as if he is her father. She gets feelings for someone who would be her father's age, who is her mentor and an authority figure. Makes perfect sense.

He's a little older than Amy yeah, so probably near 35 or so, so we're talking probably a 16 year age gap between them. I mean I'm 46 and I don't like the fact that with the baby ending, she has to stay home all day with the kid while he's touring doing what she wants to do. To me, it would almost plant the seed of regret or resentment if it were a real-life issue where a woman's career gets derailed over motherhood.

I mean I'm sure in the Perfect ending in some timeline they probably do have a kid or two at one point, but who knows.

You are totally right there. I over looked that. She never stated that she wanted to have kids (correct me if I'm wrong) and I do believe that she would get resentful having to be a single mother while he was on tour. I've been a single parent. That sucks. And even having friends/family watch the kids from time to time, that's not the same as having 2 parents there.

I'll have to do another run and see if I get get 405. Still no clue what I missed that cost me the 2 points in my first perfect run. Shrugs.

It's probably something very little, one interaction, that's why I use the walkthrough mod & the walkthrough at the same time. I've hit the perfect every time except for the pregnancy run. Since then, I'll be damned if I don't hit 405 every damn time.

And no, she or he never mentioned anything about wanting kids the entire game minus the one joke she pulls on him at the hotel in her bunny outfit.
