I feel ya man. I was out for like 2 days... Support F. A. R. L.

Eva and Amanda ARE the clones (in the patched version)
Daphne isn't there because she's RiamMar 's fav and he has kidnapped her and has her in his basement.
Talking seriously, I think they are just placeholders right now.
For me, a good distribution would be like this (knowing there are 5 characters per row). Just done it right now:

I had known they were the clones, and I always play the patched version. It was you with your weirdly worded comment that threw me off.

But yes, I like that format that you just shared. All the family together.

No big deal just inahalate a few times from the "bong" and all relships, come back to normal, by the way don't eat my "space cookies" they'll bomb you

Spoiler: Emma Amanda; Erika Daphne Eva

Just leave me to my shame

I should have fought instead of getting confused. I was right about the clones, just messed up a little of who was a clone of who.

Damn, that was made in like 1957, right?

Shouldn't the MC be the first before martha and the family as he's the MC?

That's why he is (more or less) in the center
Having him in the first row would make the nearer family not fit in the remaining 4 spots in the first row

 

[johnpouljones]

It's on the work. I don't know if it will be ready for 0.14 or 0.15 and it's called the Profiles page

The initial screen will show the girls, if you are in a relationship (full heart) and if she's pregnant

For the Students, it also will show the Relationship points

If you click on any girl you will get to her "page" where you will see some (dynamic) info and change some of the choices you made about her.

The faster the better. Profiles page very necessary.

I'll add another voice in general favor of the UI change, with one kinda glaring caveat.

I have bad eyes. I have to use URM's textbox replacement feature for a large number of games that won't give me an opacity slider, just to read the text. Most devs don't have a clue how to present text in a sufficiently readable format on top of backgrounds of many different colors/brightness levels, and then ALSO forget to give us an opacity slider or other text controls. So having these controls available is very nice.

My caveat: both disabled and currently-selected buttons are very difficult to read, with white text on a light color button (and a very thin dark outline, in the case of "Idioma").
View attachment 3090383

Both the "Idioma" and "Español" buttons here are extremely hard for me to read, as are the greyed-out buttons for other languages (I can't even see what they say on this screenshot). If the background is dark, the text needs to be much lighter, or have a thicker light-colored border, and vice versa. The other top menu buttons are great, as is "English" in the language select, but the others are all bad.

Holy f… I probably didn't even look at the buttons anymore, since I know where to click (after hours of clicking every button to test them)… Yeah, I'm sure I can do better than grey-blue on different grey-blue… Thanks for bringing this up!

When Riam designed that screen he hadn't played v.0.13,

Still haven't (not really at least)! *waves fist angrily*

so he had no clue about Scarlett moving home

True

(or being our apparent half-sister).

Nah, had my suspiscion since the talk in the park somewhere in v0.6 or 0.7(?) or so. You know my kinks, everyone is suspect to being half-sibling or related in a different way. (Genghis Khan says "hi")

I guess his logic to group them was "Family" (the quotes are because Eva and Amanda are there) - Newport group - Students.

Yeah, "Family", then "Friends" and then "Students". Or something. Brain is kinda mushy right now again, so who knows? Not me!

Daphne isn't there because she's RiamMar 's fav and he has kidnapped her and has her in his basement.

So I started the new version and there are no saves for me to load, and I can't import any saves. Did I miss something? Like do I have to complete the .12 first?

*Half joking half serious* Yeah either you oversaw the "Import" button when starting part 2 or you didn't save straightaway at the end of part 1

Did you finish Part 1 to the end where it creates a special save to be imported? Did you let it create it?

If you did, all you need to do it click Import and the save shown on Part 2

Oddly that didn't work for me on android. I just shrugged and did the questionnaire. I've had three phones since getting into avns last year... Restarting and the skip button are old friends at this point.

I never knew just how popular tablets were before becoming active on here, like a not insignificant number of people play on android, and that has to be for tablets. I refuse to believe there are people playing VNs on their actual phones.

I'll stick to using my laptop, as the gods of porn intended

 

[Deleted member 2572880]

The new one is functional but very convoluted and really ugly.
UI and UX design are a thing, but probably out of the scope for this kind of project.

The design of v0.12 was definitely better.

I think the new UI is pretty good, you may not be used to it. If you adjust the buttons of the new UI to a mode without text, it will look simple and pleasing to the eye.

I use mine to read books and not much else. Everything else you can do with one is at best slightly lamer than on a real computer ranging all the way down to totally broken. But just for reading (well, more carrying TBH) books it's the cat's pajamas.

 

[Deleted member 2572880]

Hello RiamMar,
The new UI looks good and I particularly like the icons without text. But the icons of "save import" and "load" look a bit similar. Although I know their respective functions, they still look a bit confusing. Can you make an adjustment?

 

[Deleted member 2572880]

I think she doesn't deserve anything better than Kevin. Kevin is her new boyfriend (for a bit over 3 months) and she believes him over her.
She has been lying to Scarlett about her bio father all her life.
She thinks Scarlett wrecked her life just by being born.
If she gives someone like Kevin free rein, it's her fault, not only his. If she doesn't want to see the proof, if she had taken the work to know her daughter and knew she wouldn't lie about it, it's her fault.



Read the above answer. I think Mrs. Russell is unredeemable (right now). She is blind to Kevin's faults and she's one of the worse mothers I was able to write.


Most characters in My Dorm aren't black or white (beyond Jonas, Jack, and Kevin), I want them to be a shade of grey, and Scarlett's mother is a very dark shade of grey.
As S1nsational says below, there is some intended parallelism with Scarlett: She has been kicked from her home (not because of her pregnancy in this case) and she has the same condition. The difference between Scarlett and her mother is where she ends up. Scarlett is received into a new family (regardless if she is MC's half-sister or not, because they don't know about it) that will teach her what a real family should be like.


As I wrote above, the biggest difference is where they end up.
Scarlett has found a mother in Norah, an aunt in Martha, a couple of sisters in Daphne and Erika, and a cousin in Emma.
Yeah, the irony of Daphne, Erika, and Emma's roles, and Norah and Martha's ones, if she is our sister, is intended.


Having Kiara and Eileen at home permanently is tricky. They will use a room that should be free in some months for the new students, but Meemaw and Betty's rooms should be freed. There is a solution down the road (literally).
We haven't seen the end of Kevin and Mrs. Russell's story arc yet. I won't say anything more.
About the Uh-oh moment, the convo will be completely different if the MC is dating Simone or not. One option ends better than the other one.


Not an eunuch, but Kevin will pay. Amanda saved the day without knowing Scarlett. Imagine what she and Eva are willing to do when they become part of the family. Same with Alexia. Same with every girl in the big family when the word spreads. There aren't enough rolling pins in Newport for all the people wanting to use one in Kevin's head/dick/balls.
The right question in your post is "But will it be too late?" for their relationship to be amended. Let's wait and see.


I hope Riam's hack solved it for you.
If not, the sequel will be "My Bin".


In the OP you have an instructions manual to change languages.

Poor Mrs. Russell, hateful Emond. If Edmund was really Scarlett's biological father, Mrs. Russell might not have even known that he was married and had children, or even lived nearby. How could this guy Edmond do such a thing to a girl with an ear disease? F****.

Did you pick up the phone In part 1 when Edmond called you? It was a explained a bit there how it happend.

 

[DerpyDeeDoo]

Just played through .13, and I wanted to say Great Job! Particularly with how you handled the DV and the potential intrafamilial SA. I used to work in courts and for CPS, and I cant tell you how many times ive seen women go back to abusers because they genuinely believe they will change if they just arrange a perfect set of circumstances (because internally they blame themselves). And how many times moms have prioritized new dick over the welfare of their kids, even to the point of allowing them to be raped. Those are really sad situations, but you handled them well and with sensitivity. They aren't always well represented in media; they're usually just used as a vector for audience schadenfreude without showing the impact on the victims.

One question though, which others may have asked. Regarding Scarlett possibly being the MCs half brother: I was playing with the "girls are clones" path, but there was dialogue about Scarlett possibly being half sisters to the other girls in the house. Is this a bug? Maybe I'm missing something, but i cant see how she could be their half sister if the girls were clones who weren't related to each other. And could that also make the MC related to the clones? If so, then it's back to incest regardless of choice. Please help explain this...

 

[Deleted member 2572880]

No trans FOR the MC.


Are you starting the game with the MC still with the long hair? He improves (a bit) later.
My wife approved the model when I presented her some models to choose, but she's not very reliable... she is my wife...


If you are dating Scarlett she is now confident enough not to be bothered beyond the first moment (when she makes the "Ahem" because she feels ignored). She is more annoyed about learning you are also with Eileen (if you are).


I guess the initial haircut looked (purposely) very bad on him.
Why make him look bad on purpose? Because I had different plans for Sophie the hairdresser and needed an excuse to introduce her. In that chapter, I introduced 3 girls (Sophie, Maddie, and Megan) who initially were to be side girls. I fell in love with Megan and Maddie and thought they could offer something to the story. The community asking them to be full-fledged characters did the rest. But Sophie lost her screen time.


100% agree
Signed: Someone who just rendered naked mother and daughter for the next update.

I have read the whole text carefully, and what I care about most is the sentence "rendered naked mother and daughter for the next update". Yes, I'm horny now. Who are they? First, I exclude Samantha and Simone... because this is probably my illusion, they are not in the same scene at all Now I'm calm again

Yes. Did I miss some information? I'll check it carefully again.
