The expressions and poses are defensible because as people (including myself) have noted it's done because of time constraints. They want to get a fairly decently sized update out every couple months. And for the most part they do. So people can deal with the manufacturing-line esque renders as they do, in the end, look perfectly good. Even if they are pretty basic.

But what isn't defensible, and the #1 complaint people have, is the writing. It's so unnatural and robotic. And it's been this way in all of their games. Too much inner monologue. Way too much pointless detail. Unnatural word selection. It's almost like reading an instruction manual at times. I do think the time constraints feed into this, but not much. Writing is more difficult than people think, but MrDots games break basic writing rules constantly.

I have mixed feelings for the update. So I'll just give a few comments:

- Already wrote to Hype a few pages ago that I feel that the "webpage" needs an update.
- Props for using an unusual position for Trisha's scene. In fact, I remember seeing it only once in my porn library:

(taken from: Teens love huge Cocks - Lexi Aaane - Breaking him in [2019] by Reality Kings)

- Pity that only Connie used the "Egyptian cliché eyes" for her costume. Her costume also looked the best.
- Speaking of make up: Shortcake gave off Mary Lynn Rajskub vibes with her make up. At least I know what name the cat will get if we're able to name her.
- And speaking of SC, since the devs are apparently thinking about bad ends and game over scenarios I think we've encountered one in this update: I suspect that SC will remember that night for the rest of her life if we decide to creampie her. Reason: During Trisha's scene, she encourages finishing inside her. After questioning her why she replies if we think she would let MC do it if she weren't prepared for such a situation? He agrees and states to never doubt an intelligent woman. Reason 2: During Connie's scene you don't even get that decision, you pull out because you don't want to tempt fate. This gives me the logical conclusion that if you go through with the CP you will knock up SC, and when Trisha finds out she will just have you quietly "vanished", especially if you are on both their paths.
- It seems that the donut difficulty has been upped considerably, I haven't managed to find many of them. And It seems I will have to go back to the previous update as I am apparently still missing some from that one. That said, judging from the donut walkthrough they can now be found during sex scenes, which is a first.
- It seems that I had a lucky escape so far as I've gotten all scenes recorded in the gallery despite playing the version that seemed to have a problem.

- I had a nasty feeling that Jazmin and Connie are in grave danger since they have found and ratted out Svetlana. I am not so convinced that she just left the hotel. She may have lurked around and eavesdropped on the situation. She will be in for a rude awakening though.
- *sigh* I thought you were an intelligent person, Nicole. Getting yourself into a blackmail situation does not suit you. Too bad that we will have to wait for roughly 4 months until this situation is resolved.
- Somehow we got credit for finding out Ushigo Roshi's dealings with Tony d'Amico despite not knowing anything about it. At least I don't remember that we've found out anything of substance.
- It seems like we've dropped all pretenses of the half in the sister part, the two main characters are now officially brother and sister. Could be an overlook and fixed for a new version.

As usual I am looking forward to how the story progresses in the new year.

i'd say higher chance that won't. could be something which devs won't pursue.
There could be a fantasy scene later once the game story is finished where SC finds out the truth and she doesn't bother since she's already in love with the MC. But such a scene will only be available on SStar imo.

ROUGH Roadmap (not set in stone and maybe subject to be changed):

1.)
We will be releasing a final update for DMD CH4 in December.
The update is going to be about the endings and whatever else we can fix from previous CH4 scenes.
The proposal for the release date is around Xmas, but not sure if it's going to be a few days earlier or not.
So we'll leave the fantasy scenes for next year.

2.)
We're taking January off as in the previous year.

3.)
We're resuming SL work in February with a potential release date for March.
Then another SL update in April (So another back to back updates).
With that we should reach the end of the story, except for the endings and fixes.

4.)
We will work on the "what if" fantasy scenes for DMD in May/June.
Mr Dots decided to create a separate game for this, to include anything possible here.
It could be Martin scenes, Jen/Geo, Rachel/D, etc.
We could even include some dog scenes for those "special" fans (MrDots words).
Since it's fantasy and it's being kept separately, no one will have any issues right?
This new game could be expanded with more scenes in the far future if there's a demand.

5.)
We'll wrap SL up in July/August. Two final back to back updates.
We'll work on the endings and fixes.

6.)
Starting September/October., we work on our new game.
Start promotion, teasers, etc.

7.)
Potential release date for Chapter 1: End of October.

Additional info/changes for the new game, without giving away to much:
We will restructure the whole workflow.
Hopefully that will allow us to be less restricted and being able to deliver an even more interesting and detailed fleshed out story.
Also on our Map:
more facial expressions, and also a mental strong MC (more alpha) and definitively less "textwalls" XD
Also we plan to switch to Blender:
Meaning more and better facial expressions, better and more diverse animations (different angles, longer shots, not so mechanicals), cum animations, etc.

Yo I'm starting new in season 2 but idk how much point should I put in every girls relationship, anyone know?
Did you play Ch1? If you did and did a proper save with "export", then you should be able to start a "new game" which is really a continuation of your Ch1 saves. The screen you go to for "new game" should show you all of your regular saves (assuming you played multiple routes to get all of the scenes). If you didn't play Ch1, then it's whatever you want it to be, but putting in high point totals could give you problems. I'm not sure, but I think that there is at least one "automatic" choice that gets you a canon path; there may also be something in the Sancho mod that allows you to just start at Ch2 with some form of optimized path, but I can't really recall.

Actually a handful of us asked this back in chp 1 ver 0.3 or somewhere and the dev team flat out lied and said NO
actually that's true. But believe me, we also had no clue.
MrDots took even us by surprise.
His words: "I wanted to hold this spoiler up as long as possible"

So i apologize for unintentionally spreading "false information", as even i myself really thought otherwise.
I was one of them thinking "hmm.... could be", but after being told it isn't, i also believed it isn't XD.
(At that point i wasn't full member of MrDots core team like i am right now, but "just" Admin/Mod on fan-Discord and without full insight, depending on info given piece by piece)
