In your post the image appeared as a broken link and I had to look for that game and try to guess who Natasha was. When I replied the image appeared and confirmed what I thought. Another game to the "to check up for scientific reasons" list.
I have "good news" for you. The girls in the last batch are not designed, but I have a general idea of what they look like, as it influences their story in some cases, but I haven't gone into details like hair or eye color. None of them match what you DON'T want me to do.
On the other hand I have "bad news" for you, the girls in the first batch are designed and there is a 1,93m tall brunette, muscled (not as much as Natasha), with clear blue eyes girl. You will meet her next Friday. Oh, and she comes with her older sister.

2 out of 3, if TALL is in the mix, is a turn on for me. What am I saying. If TALL is in the mix nothing else is needed. IRL, they don't even need to be pretty, just tall. Saggy boobs? Extra kilos? Who cares, if they're over 1.80m I'm attracted. I'm a simple guy. I am well aware that I am defective but it's too late for me.

So, thanks mate, I will obsess even more on this game.

Peace

I kept putting this one, not sure why but I was like I will get to it one day, after a few you should read this posts over on Grandma's House I thought well I should give it a go FatGiant seems to know some good games afterall.

Outcome: I regret putting this one off, this has been an interesting read, characters so far are well written, the jokes about the MC's fav gaming site or when you play a game about aliens or what looked to be a couple of other references from other games that can be found on this site just made it all the memorable and made me go wait was that a reference to this game or was it just coincidence.

I have not gone over past posts here but I assume somewhere some users would have been hate for the girl on girl content (it's common here) however I will say a thank you for keeping certain fetishes optional, While this normally gets me some faceplam reactions I am all for the girls having fun with each other in the harem either group or by themself (MC allowing it) and having that option to allow for group content for me is great, instead of just removing it all together like I have seen done a few times in the past.

Can't wait to see where this story is headed with the other characters (some we seen, some we have not) but also how the current characters relationship grows and how the family bonds with each other grow as a harem.

Overall I would say this one surprised me a little on how much I enjoyed it, a couple of times I was worried about the harem direction with you feeling a tad guilty about doing it but by the time I hit the current end that guilt was gone and I just wanted to read more. Great work so far.

You're very welcome.

I will accept recommendations from you too. Don't be shy about it.

Daz3D measures are a bit oversized. When I started to design the characters I didn't have any means to know their height, so I designed them relative to the base Genesis 8 (there are other parameters that affect the height):
* The MC 3% taller
* Emma 0.5% taller
* Erika/Daphne 1% shorter + 1% less in scale
And so on
Some months ago I got an asset that allowed me to measure other assets, and... surprise... the base Genesis 8 is 1,80m tall, so everyone is taller than should be usual:
* The MC 1,85
* Emma 1,81
* Shortest one (as of now) is Samantha at 95% and 1,71

I am a 1,70 guy and I've wrote the MC to know if he wants to hire me as a Garden Gnome. He is too busy with the girls to answer me.

Thanks for the laughs mate... Ooops, wifey got curious, not sure if I should explain... better be vague...

Welcome to the Dorm, fisty123
Thanks for your kind words.

My Dorm has been flying under the radar for some time, and it's my fault. The first release did not have the quality it should have had: some renders had a little noise, the translation was quite bad (the translator who was collaborating on the project at the time lied to me.), image compression made them lose quality, and so on. Add to that the fact that I was still learning, that I made decisions that some players didn't like, etc. Now it's slowly getting some steam thanks to player-to-player recommendations, so I'm happy about where the game is now.

I'm glad you enjoyed your playthrough, I think a few laughs and references add depth to the game, and above all naturalness. For me, f95zone was my first contact with this world, so the MC had to visit it. Somewhere he had to get the idea of the harem if he's not en route with Eileen.

The alien game, My Residence, will be popping up from time to time. I want to explore how a person who is part of a harem would feel playing a harem game. Plus, it's a way for me to laugh at myself and the things I do wrong. That's why the MC thinks the dev needs a proofreader.

You won't find references to other games, at least not intentional, as it's been over a year since I've played AVNs for two reasons: Lack of time and I don't want to unconsciously copy what another dev has done. But you will find many references to pop culture.

From day one I promised that all non-vanilla content would be optional, we each have our fetishes (I'm a lesbian porn worshipper) but not all players have to share them. There will be no lesbian content between the girls without the MC present. At the end of the day they are in love with the MC, not each other, and as long as he keeps them sexually satisfied they have no reason to pursue anything without him being there. With lesbian content enabled, in some of the FFM there will be lesbian content depending on which girls are present, just like the level of intensity of that content.

About feeling guilty about building the harem, it's happened to me in some of the few games I've played. We all end up having our favorite and during harem building it can feel like we are cheating on her. In My Dorm, I've tried to make the MC be honest with the girls (he's a gentleman at heart) at the moment he realizes that it's going to be almost impossible for him to be monogamous. That way that guilt is diluted a bit. It also helps that, unlike in other games, it is not the MC who pursues the girls, but they are the ones who initiate relationships with him.

Oh, and welcome to the dev's trademark text walls

Dude you must be the kindest dev around here.

You can always say that there is a madman on the other side of the border who doesn't know what a francesinha is (not my case).

Thanks Defenestrator.for.traitor
I'm not the best writer, I'm not the best artist, I'm not the best translator... I have to stand out in something, don't I?
What better way than to take care of the community that invests its time in playing my little creation?

 

[Defenestrator.for.traitor]

I'm not the best artist

Now that's a blatant lie, you drew Erika after all. Or did you not?

I wouldn't say that, honestly you're putting yourself down too much because your game is good, imho.

 

[Trope95]

Yeah, Erika, Daphne and Martha are the ones I'm most proud. But when someone recommends a game to me and I see in the previews what other artists do... Oh, shit! I'm a long way from the level that some of the artists who post on this forum have.

It's not that I look down on myself. I think what makes My Dorm good is the ensemble, but it's not "the best" in any of the sections (besides Erika, Daphne, and Martha ).
I've seen some animations that make me want to hide under a rock! There are some amazing writers. There are people who speak English natively.

Oh man, we need to fix that, a refresher course, but with Estrella Galicia. To balance things out. Jajajajaja.

Damn, I'm suffering from serious Martha's withdrawal syndromes, halp

I don't know, it's your first game and is bound to have some flaws it's inevitable, but honestly having played a certain numbers of games if you exclude the big names, yours is good not only as an ensemble.
There's a number of characters that I liked since the beginning ( Daphne and Martha but also Norah, how could you forget her?), the writing while not Shakespearean offer good entertain, the MC is one of the few likeable since the beginning ( I appreciated a lot the fact that he's a true gentleman), it had a bumpy start true but as it go further improves in quality a lot,
I wouldn't look at the others, aside from what they can suggest you how to improve as a creator, also this is a neverending learning work, so I'm sure you will improve even more.
So don't you worry, you're gaining with full rights your place in the devs community.

Well first of all, I really am glad you proud of Erika, I would be very sad otherwise. Secondly, there are around 13000 games on f95 and that number is growing day by day. When you think about it art, story or anything else for a making game I will definitely put you in first 130 for each one of the categories. That basically means you are in top 1% for each category. So, even if you are not the best you are clearly among the best.

Those native English speakers are the worst mate... (LOL) The rest you can learn (not that you are too far already). Martha is one of the best characters I've seen in games. Not only the looks and proportions, but also the personality. A great balance between naughty and serious, kind and forgiving. Not only a great LI but above all a great MOM (patched version is the only version for me). Even if she had no sexy content, she would still be the best thing in this game populated with great characters (Eileen is awesome). Each of them has her own list of pros and cons, except Martha. Martha only has pros for me.

So, stop downgrading and comparing yourself, you are doing an awesome job, this story is top tier and getting better with each update. There will always be people that will not like it, there's nothing that can be done about it. But, everyone that I have recommended this game to, loved it. There's no further proof needed.

Keep going, doing your best, learn, evolve, this project will get of the ground, of that I am sure. But, if you ever need a parameter to measure yourself against the sacred monsters of this site, compare your communication skills. You're right up there at the top. Unbeatable is what I would call them. Don't even think of thanking me.

Peace

im playing this in native spanish and the language is like a dubbed buttman porno from the 90s. it adds to the experience x1000
