It was a cool game, sucked the ending was messed up at first. Wish I had waited to play before downloading the fixed version. But sounds like the endings were all a bit generic for each. Too many games do that crash and burn at the end thing - though unlike this, many are because the dev got sick of working on it and are done/moved to a new project.

I think part of it was this project was big for them. Not the size or length but just too many characters to deal with. It's also pretty clear that they don't have the capacity to work on more than one game at a time. Hopefully they start the next one and just stick with it and don't try and throw another one into the mix. It's good for them on a monetary level but bad for everyone else. The games don't get the attention they need and the updates take forever if you are not playing both.

Yes, I quote. Was a pity.

i'm pretty sure that after some updates of new game they'll start another game.

dmd and melody were easy since those were similar while dmd and sl were like day and night.

Agree. Working on more than 1 game at a time should never be done for said reasons. Also, new one was worked on towards the end of this.

I love his games, been grinding through this one, but one little beef I have is all the "thought bombs" or "thought comas" as I call them where the character lapses into a coma, nothing but endless lines of thoughts, often of things we already know about. I skip A LOT of thoughts in this game as I want to reach the end of it before I die of old age! LOL

Good game, I really do like it... just... with less thinking, and maybe more brains. Another beef I have is "I kissed her, we better sit down and talk about it"... I am like... WHAT?! Sorry, but I was married for almost 37 years, met a few women before that, kissed a few, had sex with a few... never once felt the need to sit down and discuss each KISS!!! LOL... or "This isn't the right time to tell him/her"... again, good games but... the dialog could be improved and while I realize this is just a game, a TINY bit of realism would be nice. Never sat down and had a lengthy conversation about a kiss in my life. And I never once stood outside a girls door who just invited me in, thinking of all the ins and outs of opening her door before stepping inside! ;)

The writing in dots games has always been the weakest part, to put it kindly. They have also made this MC a massive bitch with the social understanding of a six year old.

It's not just Dots, MC's nearly everywhere are "massive bitches with the social understanding of six year olds". There's very few that think and act like normal adults.

Yeah, unless you got money and are fairly young and in good health (none of those apply to me) the real world is rough.

realism? many play games (avns and others) to escape from real world at least for a few hrs.

I don't want full on realism. Just not endless lines of text from the MC as he goes over, in detail, everything he has done and will do and makes plans to sit down and have a lengthy conversation about a KISS!

I want to see how this game ends, but on the flip side, I don't know if I can survive it. ;)

Agree, there's too much meaningless dialogue and monologues in this dev's games, if you dont play these games by update, it can be very overwhelming with so much dialogue. Wish they cut out a bit of it in the next game but somehow i doubt it.

To be fair, this probably is in part due to episodic development model: when players are expected to wait for 2-3 months (or more) between updates, these monologues are effectively recaps of what has happened last time, which help to bring people up to speed. Obv. not too great for completed product, though.

(also, if you're cynical, to pad episode length, but, hey)

...it was starting to get cold... so she put it in the fridge... yeah, that'll keep it warm! :ROFLMAO:

Not sure what you don't understand?

She made food.
MC didn't eat it.
It got cold.
She put it in the fridge.
Now it won't get bad.

Don't you have a fridge, where you put your leftovers?
Like come on dude... :KEK:
