I should take a look at that blog.
I will never say that this project, being the first, has gone without issues, so getting every input and advice possible is a good thing and a chance to improve.
I've done things that I won't do in the next project(s). There are things that I would have liked to try, but the moment has passed. I added big changes to the story because the community showed me I was wrong (making Maddie's big eyes and Megan big ass full romanceable LIs are among those changes, and I'm happy I did it).
I also can say that, without having the ending written down, I would have ended up bogged down on side arcs, not meaningful lewd scenes, and who knows what. Having a goal defined has helped a lot with writing blocks (I have at least one per update, but I look at the epilogue and say "I can add a small scene here that moves the story towards X part of the epilogue") and with keeping a (more or less) tidy story. Without that epilogue, maybe I would be in the Great Swampy Middle right now.
I want every girl to have a story that doesn't revolve around Mjolnir, and the epilogue has a section for every girl and her story, so it's easy to not lose focus on what is important. When I finish (or pseudo-finish, or take a big leap) a story arc for a girl, the feeling of fulfillment is amazing because I know how it will end. And I want to show you, the players, how our beloved girls will be (not only their looks) 22 years from now.

That's one of the things that keeps me working on My Dorm. And one of the reasons I won't "milk" the game when there aren't more stories to tell. Because the big story (what happens when My Dorm's main timeline ends) still will need to be explained (in the epilogue).

You could start a help thread for developers who are stuck. A sort of Alcoholics Anonymous. I'm joking, but only partly.

If anyone can get the "Like a monk (Season 1)" achievement (rejecting every girl), they deserve my respect for their strong will. Rejecting Martha, Emma, Erika, Norah, Daphne, Scarlett, Eileen, Samantha, Simone, Alexia, Maddie, and Megan in the same playthrough deserves an achievement (and a box of Kleenex).

No way. This is legit?

Something that will happen in the next update. Don't worry. Erika is safe ;)

I know it wouldn't come to this but if the story all of sudden went in a completely new direction I will give them all up for Erika. Or you know use the training against the dreaded letters the cuc.... I mean the people with self respect like that Eva and my girl Amanda taught me to save them all. Insert the scene with Mel Gibson running down the hill in We Were Soldiers.

Yeah. There are weird achievements in Season 1.

I'm one of those suckers that tries to 100% achievements, especially for VNs since most of the time you're gonna get the vast majority just playing the story.

So while it sounds wild, I appreciate it being included. I think things like this can make a game memorable. Not saying My Dorm isn't memorable already but trophies/achievements that I had to go out of my way for are things I tend to remember long term.

Yeah I remember him saying he plans to make an Achievement for playing the celibacy route so I would file that under almost-impossible/very annoying achievements because how can anyone say No to all of them. :ROFLMAO:

I mean, that's basically what achievements are for: So players will play in ways they wouldn't normally play so they can turn their favorite AVN into a game of Pokemon.

I went for a mix of serious and humorous achievements, while also getting information about how people play through them (do people use the second chances to open a route? Which percentage go full harem? Full pregnancy? Incest or not incest? etc.)

You can get achievements named "No Latina for Me", "A Little Policeboy?", or "Two Basketball Teams". Obviously the first and the second can't be achieved in the same playthrough.
