Ren'Py - My Naughty Daughter [v4.3] [RustyV]

Man... It's hard to believe I'm down to 3 stars. This was one of the few where I would actively check the thread, hoping for news about updates, not even just updates itself. Sure, there are lots of bugs every update, but this is a one-man operation, and I never minded waiting for the patches that came quickly. I want to focus this review on the story itself, as that is why I like[d] most. A quick word about the other things I normally touch on in a review:
- Visuals: they feel a bit dated, but are serviceable and good enough that they aren't distracting or off-putting.
- Mechanics: Choices have fairly significant effects. You are able to reject most - MOST - LIs. You have to reaffirm your initial choices every chapter (as they are individual 'games') but I never minded that much.
Now. The real stuff -
- Story: A spin-off of one of the most popular vanilla* (for the most part, i know there was a few rare scenes in there) AVNs in the last decade, promising way more raunch and kinks. And ho-lee SHIT did the opening chapter deliver!
This was never a game that took itself seriously, and it is irreverent and comedic throughout. Don't come in expecting the drama/romance the original DMD. But the jokes are amusing, and it is probably the only AVN where I chuckled when the fourth wall was broken, rather than rolling my eyes.
Nonetheless - 3 stars, and one of those is solely due to the first chapter. The other chapters step away from the characters of the original game, reducing all of them to cameos rather than any sort of focus. Instead, female love interest after female love interest is introduced, over and over and over. If you're into lesbian AVNs, this is the game for you. If you're not, then... well, get ready to spend more than half of your playthrough rejecting lesbian dates and sex scenes, and sitting through the mandatory lesbian dates that for some reason cannot be avoided.
Let me put it like this - if you nope out of every lesbian scene in all 4 chapters (including the 3-some scenes that are heavily focused on F/F), you're left with about 35-40 minutes of content. Not 35-40 minutes of M/F sex; just 35-40 minutes period.
Which, hey, that's what the dev obviously likes, and it his story to tell. Seems like a solid dude, and has always been friendly and respectful. But I can't help but feel disappointed that the story I imagined after chapter 1 was completely abandoned in subsequent updates.

These chapters are all great little gems filled with humor, sex and lots of different kinks.

What's not to like?

Add to that a dev that's communicative, listens and really wants to deliver a great and entertaining game. Plus some very sexy models and it's a winning concept in my book.

I don't understand the point of destroying the story of one of the first good games ever made. The graphics are even worse than the original, the audio is hilarious, especially the protagonist's laughter, which is awful. But the worst part is destroying the story. The developer wants to live off the proceeds for life; he didn't understand that he only made things worse. Avoid it.

Terrible avn full of lesbian crap. It's a miracle to find any straight scenes in this game and if you finally get one it's also poorly done. Outdated animations, renders and bunch of errors don't help too. 1 star

I went into this game thinking it would be full of the more crazy kinks and scenarios that wouldn't have made it into the original game but apart from a tiny bit of content at the start the rest is normal boring stuff in-between a ton of drama that would feel completely at home in the original game.

Its hard to get into the sex scenes as there is usually something very distracting that keeps you from enjoying it.

It is buggy as hell with errors including wrong character names to the text, plus the entire head shave part is corrupted and doesn't work in any chapter.

Most of the game is just boring photo-shoot after boring photo-shoot, there are a load of characters introduced for no real reason as you will spend almost no time with any of them.

Story 2/5 (too much drama)
Sex 2/5 (hard to enjoy)
Characters 2/5 (underused)
Art 3/5 (good)
Choices 2/5 (not important)
Kinks 2/5 (some but mild)

Text, text, text, text, lesbian shit.. text, text, text, text, awful rushed photo shoot... text, text, text, more lesbian BS... more text, text and another meaningless random photoshoot, more text, text, another lesbian crap... text, lesbian, text lesbian...... etc
Literally V3 in a nutshell!
Only giving this a 2 stars for V1 alone.

Edit: -1 star for V4...

You took semi decent character models and made unnecessary changes to them which in turn made them look much worse. I appreciate the effort to bring back DMD characters but this is more akin to bringing back Frankenstein's monster than the original.

mediocre writing at best and not enough content as F, also i want the ability to say f no to interracial bs, there's too much of it already don't want to be forced too watch this rubbish, if anything let me shoot him

used to love this game , hard to believe how frustrating it has become now
feels like some teenage boy make this
i hope it will be like back old days, that was my favorite game on f95
i dont like the writing at all

great storyline and images are top notch nice to great a great running series of stories. The transition is not straight away which in some stories might seem grindy but in this it is not a drag and instead the story keeps you hooked and wanting to see what happens next. It also helps that there are extra charcters which appear which helps keep the story fresh and gives you extra NPCs to have fun with

A non-canon fan made game slutifying Dee. Reminiscent to Our Fathers from Warped Animation. Seeing Dee down and out willing to do anything especially drunk. Debauched, and not for everyone.

Part 1 was better than Part 2 imo. Part 1 had more action and sexy scenes. A part 3 with extra (debased)adventures would be welcome.

Do you remember all those fan-mades of "the big brother", "bad bobbies saga" or "A wife and mother"? well, basically that's what this "game" is, only without a story and being just a bunch of fuck fest scenes to please all the users who wanted to see Dee as a whore without more, that's all, in simple terms you can Skip the entire text and you won't miss anything relevant.

Recommended if you're looking for something for a quick release and you're stuck with Dee.

My Naughty Daughter is a spin off visual novel of the fantastic Dating My Daughter vn. This one is made by RustyV and follows a very different path. In a completely different way than its source, this spin-off cares nothing for story or character, it goes straight to scene after scene with a couple of messy stories in between to justify the fast pace. The barebones story is pretty much Dee being corrupted more and more by an open relationship. You have a couple of choices that slightly change the scenes, but they don't matter much in the long run since this is not a finished game. The v1.2 ends with a closure of the first chapter, informing that more will come in the future. It's not a great game overall, since the models are reused assets from the original game with a couple of badly animated scenes but without the care and attention the source game has. The protagonist is the girl and her purpose is to fall further down the degeneracy path. If you are a fan of the original and want to see the main girl going wild maybe this one's for you. But at the end of it, it is not worthy of using the fame of the main game. It feels cheaper and a bad fanfic for the sake of kinks the developer wanted to see in the original but couldn’t.

A witty romp straight out of RustyV's critically warped brain. Dot's Dee is reimagined, rethought and reworked into a Dee the busty blond bimbo with brains. But we give two shits about that, we here for the banging! Long live banging blonds!
Instead of dialog befitting 3 three year old, MND's Dee repartee is cutting and she-devilishly devious. I'm looking forward to all the comments trying to belittle this romp. As the saying goes "the flak gets worse the closer you get to the target", now it's time to nuke the critics and watch their heads explode!

This game is awful awful.

It tells you at launch that it is set in MrDots' universe with the same characters but then it trashes everything.

The renders are very very grainy and the models proportions have been manipulated to remove any resemblance to reality. The choices are faked -often giving view/skip type choices but then when you choose to skip content that's gross, it shows it anyway with the dialogue basically laughing in your face.

The dialogue is what really makes this a one star game. The characters are all now hateful spiteful people, going so far as to insult and hate their own friends and family. The original, likeable personalities have been completely erased

So much better than the DMD. The game offers more variety, more excitement and more independent choices for D. Personally love the interracial path. This game has potential to exceed DMD. Would prefer more involvements with other characters like Georgia. But honestly, a great game and I'll definitely subscribe to the Patreon. Looking forward to future updates.

This game is a fun little sex romp without claiming to be anything else. It doesn't have the depth of emotions of DmD and comes right out and says it won't try - it is there to be hot, kinky (not as kinky as some, more then others), vulgar (love that so much), and it pulls it off fantastically. I can't wait for the next update! Oh, why 4 stars for the moment? its a bit of an on-the rails VN. I know I always pick the dark kinky choices but its fun feeling like there's a chance I might not have. The other bit is there's a good bit of female almost-NTR.. and I enjoy NTR, and I enjoy non-NTR, both are hot.. but this seems to be a playing at an open-relationship poly scenario (also into that as RL I'm poly and want more poly-stuff out there) where people are actually just kinda trying to backstab each other but not really but... I don't know, will figure out what its trying to do in updates I suppose.

unless I missed it there is next to nil D and F available. Maybe future updates will change that but that should be currently warned before wasting a download. I don't mind other stuff but if I am naming my character I at least expect my character to actively be in the story.

This game is in dire need of an editor. I've downgraded the game based on more recent updates. I've downgraded the topline rating from 3 to 2, and the sex scene rating at the bottom from 4.5 to 3.5 since the visuals have not sustained with development.

The Good:
--the game "initially" uses the same beautiful renders the original DMD has
--it leans more heavily into the NTR in a more realistic way than the original. The father's ability to cheat w/o consequence while moralizing about caring about her feelings always felt one-sided to me.
--some of the early snark lands well and is funny

The bad:
--the long-winded dialogue wears thin, very, very, very, very, very, very, thin
--the images for later work is not as good as the images used early on

TL;DR
The intro is where the game is strongest, with rapid fire sex scenes and it's where the snark lands best

But, after that, the actual game became incredibly boring and the visuals suffer. There are really long-winded, boring, non-sensical, and extended dialogue sections. After a while, it was a boner killer.

There is literally 15-30 minutes of dialogue in the initial club scene w/Martin, and it serves no real purpose. I eventually started fast forwarding through the dialogue, cause it felt never ending. That's followed by a multi-screen conversation about going to a hotel. And then 10 minutes of dialogue talking about cuckolding the father by having sex with Martin.

I've been here a while and endured bad translations, shitty narratives, and too much inner dialogue, but this is the first time my reaction was "FFS please dump Martin and find a black man that will stop talking about fucking and fuck her." She eventually does, but the extended dialogue wasn't erotic it was annoying and frustrating.

Consider this game's rating a 3.5 if you use an auto clicker to fast-forward through the inane dialogue to get to the sex scenes.

I was hoping for lots of "what if" versions after DMD was completed but this is waaay better. Especially the focus on Martin path or sluttification of D will find many fans I think. Just have a look at the fan arts. Most of them are about D evolving into a whore
The renders and animations doesn't have to be perfect as long as the path get even darker and the updates keep coming.
Great work RustyV and keep going ...
