DMD v14
DMD V0.14
Hi guys!
So here’s v.14 of DMD (Dating My Doughnut). I’ll leave you the links below the post this time because I want to read the following first:
ABOUT THIS UPDATE (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY)
What a month guys! A lot has happened during the past few days that had forced me to delay this update by two days, and to make some changes to the release dates of future versions of the game. I’m really sorry about that, but these were circumstances that I could not possibly anticipate happening.
But finally, here it is…. V.14 of DMD… Dating My Doughnut. Yummy!
Well, this was an unusual update. Think of it as a necessary maintainance update that we had to do in order to polish the game a little bit before moving on with the next episode. Unfortunately, we couldn’t accomplish everything that we had planned for this version so I had to make some tough and sad decisions but I believe they were the right ones for the future of the game. Let me explain...
When I posted my plans for this update a month ago, I told you that my goal was to:
• Finish the two other job routes.
• Fix all the bugs and plot holes that the game had in order to move onto chapter 2.
• Add some extra scenes to the side characters that we feel were important and necessary.
• A reward/gallery system.
• A method to transfer your decisions to the next chapter.
I thought we could accomplish all of this in just one update but I was wrong. ☹
Unfortunately, the bug fixing part took a lot longer than expected. We fixed a lot of bugs (and when I say a lot, I mean A LOT!):
Some of these bugs were small, some were big (like the photoshoot events or Richard coming back even if you had already rejected him, a complete rework of the FP/LP system, etc.)
You won't notice most of them in the game but believe me, we worked our a$$es off to fix all of this.
That means that unfortunately we didn't have much time to create new content. Some of the new scenes that we did manage to include are:
-F having sex with Olivia
-F having sex with Elena
-A proper ending for Lucas and Richard.
-Extended scenes and new renders for the evening of Day 11, a POV animation for the office scene on Day 13, D giving F a HJ wearing the normal secretary outfit, etc. I'll provide you with a full change log below.
Reward/Gallery System
This is a feature many patrons requested and I'm happy to announce that we'll be including a reward/system gallery in this update. There is a total of 69 new pictures to unlock. None of them are from the game. They are from an “alternative reality” shall we say, and most of them are really hot!
How does it work? Simple, you'll have to do certain things in the game in order to unlock the pictures. Some are easy to unlock, some are really hard.
Examples:
The one you are seeing on the image above can be unlocked if you tell D that the sexy secretary outfit is "Inappropriate" for her, when she visits you at the office. Other images can be unlocked by reaching certain FP and LP at the end of each day. I'll be listing every reward and how to unlock them on the Walkthrough (another huge advantage of being a $15+ a month tier member!)
How do you know you have unlocked a new image? A message will pop up in the game telling you that a new image can be seen on the gallery:
You can easily access the gallery by clicking that new yellow star that you see on the image. Oh, and I’ve also fixed the FP/LP layout as you can also see
A New And Improved D Menu:
I've drastically changed the layout of the menu that allows you to change D and F’s names, and I’ve also added a few more things requested by you.
Now you'll be able to see the benefits of your current corruption level, the infamous hidden points and you'll also be able to change your relationship with Elena and Georgina in the middle of the game. However, this could lead to potential bugs in the game so use it at your own risk!
Your decisions will be saved automatically
One of my main concerns for the ending of this chapter was figuring out a way to transfer the decisions you made on this chapter to the next one. I’m happy to say that I found a solution that will allow you to move onto the next chapter without doing anything weird or complicated and it’s already been implemented!
All you have to do is reach the end credits of this chapter and see the above image. That’s it! All your decisions will automatically be saved by the game and Chapter 2 will pick them up. You’ll be able to continue with the story like normal when we release the first update for Chapter 2.
Your Old saves will work… to a certain extent…
I have tested my old saves with the current version and they seem to work somewhat fine. I think you’ll be able to move to the next chapter using your old saves but some new added decisions will be chosen automatically for you.
For example, there’s are a number of new variables created on previous days that won’t exist in your old saves. The game will create them for you but you might not understand some of F’s decisions when you reach Chapter 2. That’s why I recommend you start the game over.
The new reward system, on the other hand, won’t work with old saves. If you want to unlock the new images, you'll have to start the game over.
This will be our last update for Chapter 1. The two other job routes won’t be happening anytime soon ☹
I’m really sad that I have to give you this news. I started working on the two extra job routes right after v.13 was published. Hearsz had already written most of the scripts and I spent the last days of September working on the first few scenes.
I thought it would be quick and easy, but it wasn't. I didn't take into consideration all the other things that would need to change for the game to stay coherent. Scenes that had nothing to do with the job routes but that would seem unlogical, for example if F was a police officer he would have never been knocked down by Lucas at the restaurant. This simple event would have changed the entire game. The hospital event would have never happened and Maria would have never given a week off, etc. It would have been like creating a whole new game.
In other words, I realized that in order to keep everything coherent in the game, I would have to create dozens of new scenes, hundreds of new renders, animations, new variables for each job, checking that those variables didn’t mess up the current Executive job, etc.
Doing this would have meant spending 2 to 3 more months on this chapter. To be honest, I felt overwhelmed just by thinking of all of that. I know that you would have been understanding of the situation I was in, and would have waited until I had completed these jobs...
But I also know that most of you (including myself) want to continue with the story as soon as possible, so I started thinking that it might just not be worth the time. Besides, there are a number of other reasons I made this decision as well…
I'm sorry to say this, but the game has become too big and too complex to add two more routes without spending an awful lot of time on fixing and making sure that each scene leads to the correct one, that each character behaves on each route differently, etc. I spent most of this update fixing bugs and plot holes and believe you me, I hated it!
Plus, adding two more routes would mean also adding an extra GB or two to the current Chapter which is something unthinkable at this point. The current file size of Chapter 1 is around 3.5 GB. With the two other job routes the game would have reached the 5GB mark!
It might have sounded like a good idea when the game was really small but now with the amount of scenes that would need to be adapted for each job, it could become a nightmare from a coding point of view.
I'm so sorry for those who wanted to see D dressed up like a nurse or a police officer in this update, but that won't happen anytime soon. Well, that's not entirely true, because I have added a few images related to the two other job routes in the gallery
Also, if F becomes a photographer in the next chapter, we could easily add a cosplay scene where D would dress up like a nurse or policewoman. So the scenes I had already created for these jobs won’t be a total waste!
No patched version for this update
Many images and lines of code were changed from all previous days which made it impossible for me to release a patch this time. I’m sorry but you will have to download the entire chapter one last time.
I’ve tested the update extensively and some of my team members beta tested it as well, but since I made some major changes to the code, I’m sure you’re still going to find one or two bugs. So please play the update and let me know what you find. I’ll be releasing a patch next month if needed.
However, not everything is bad news…
We're moving onto Chapter 2 on the next update!!
Since we’ve already fixed most of the major bugs that the game had, I think we are ready to move onto Chapter 2. I won’t be publishing any major update for this chapter anymore. I’m sure many of you will find some bugs and grammar errors and like I said, I might release a patch next month but that will be it for this chapter in terms of content. All our energy is now completely focused on the start of Chapter 2.
Hearsz has already written quite a few scripts already and my plan was to start the coding and rendering part this week, but well... the massive bans happened... I had to waste my week doing things that I don't usually need to do instead, of doing what I love, which is creating content for you guys.
About Patreon and the future of DMD
As you already know, this week, out of the blue, Patreon decided to ban a lot of devs and artists due to new changes on their policies towards adult games.
At the time of me writing this, many devs haven’t recovered their respective pages as yet. We were banned without a warning, without a chance to edit our pages before the ban was placed. I didn’t receive any emails informing me of those changes. I think no one did.
Fortunately, I acted quickly and was unbanned a few hours later, but nothing will be the same now. The trust has been lost forever…
We'll continue as if nothing happened for now. However, all of the content will be behind a paywall from now on. The main description of the page will stay as it is now... Short and useless... No more free versions will be provided until further notice.
I know that this will hurt the promotion of our page, but to be honest, you guys are all I need to keep the project (and the future projects) alive so I don't really care if I don't gain more patrons now. But if even more people still decide to join, then I also see that as a welcome bonus!
We will keep using Patreon as our main source of support for the game for now, but we’re thinking of diversifying, in case they decide to ban us again in the future.
I firmly believe that this is just the beginning and that they will eventually come for all adult games devs, but I don’t know when this will happen so we are doing our best to be prepared if this eventuates.
I’ve been searching for alternatives but sadly nothing I could find has 100% convinced me as yet. Having a private website is a plus, because in case something happens here, you can always stay in contact with me there.
In case you don’t know the address, here it is: dmdgame(dot)com
I advise that all of you Bookmark this page, as it may be a handy link for all of us in the future.
I’m kinda lost here so if you know of a service that we could potentially use in the future, please let me know and I’ll look into it. I have already looked into Patreon clones like Hatreon, but they haven’t really convinced me either. I’m sure we’ll be able to come up with a solution eventually, but I just haven’t found it yet.
Thank you
Finally, I just wanted to thank all of you, my current patreons (and my former patreons as well) for allowing me to keep developing the game and for trusting in me. I will always be completely honest with you, no matter what.
I know that this update might feel like the most boring one for some of you, I get that, but we had to do it this way. We needed to take our time and fix things that were wrong with the game instead of pushing and pushing forward for the sake of it. I'm sure you'll still going to find some bugs and plotholes and we will fix them too, but I think most of the job is done. Overall, I'm satisfied with what we acomplished and I can't wait to start showing you some previews of Chapter 2
Enjoy Chapter 1 one last time and I’ll be in contact with you again during the development of Chapter 2 (V15 or v0.01, I'm not sure yet), over the next few weeks
Have a nice day!
MrDots.
