It's going to be interesting what the update schedule for DMD will be once Melody winds up in a few months.

Do we dare hope he will go back to a monthly update schedule or will a new project forever consign it to a 3 month cycle?

I would love to have D as a side-character in a new game, just to see her in a different timeline where she didn't meet F.

Well, they'll need something on Patreon to replace Melody, or all their Patreon income dries up. I'd expect the same kind of thing to keep going - 2 months for the new project, 1 month for DMD.

Unless that's a point in time for their relationship where they are understandably apart (i.e., before a possible future reconciliation after friction or from a mutual understanding that she will try to meet the world head-on and see how that works out), there would have to be some sort of terrific dynamics at play to make her seem compelling within a new environment and among a (somewhat?) different crowd, IMHO. I would be willing to bet that many current players are invested in her well-being and the immense bond with MC that got her to this point, even if she understandably needs more room to grow as she sees fit :)

Honestly, I'd prefer not to see her used as a shiny lure in future works, however she might meander through MrDots' future productions. Let her go through life's ups and downs and not even as a primary character, as seems appropriate: but, give her a chance to honestly see where she wants to go and never completely lose her sense of what and who helped get her there.
Since we are discussing ideas on VN three, who knows, but it seems the discussion is limited to characters being as “meander through” characters ... though nothing is cemented at this point.

No idea yet when exactly Melody will end. I think one hope is both Melody and DMD come to a conclusion around the same time so the third project runs alone. Btw, the third project (except for DMD and Melody character tie-ins) will be genesis 8 models which opens up some textures etc that MDots has not been able to use with the Genesis 3 models. Hoping there is a demonstrable upgrade in quality. :)

I suppose that makes the sense of moving Chapter 2 to an engaging ending as even more of an imperative, then.

This also further solidies the notion I offered that Subscribestar is apparently not intended to help grow DMD, but was to test other (likely reasonable) business support goals.

So, a few minutes in I get the option to go for a shower .... she then gets in the bath.

I don't mean to be picky but a shower you stand up in, a bath you lay down in ..... slight difference between the 2.

Thought he said a while back that both dmd and melody would both end at about the same time.

Cute, would almost have made an adequate joke had I been commenting on grammar.

By adequate I mean awful.

If you think mistaking a shower and a bath is a grammar thing please don't ever take up home renovation .... or teaching English.

Going by your response, avoid comedy too.

Not everything in life is a fight and this site isn't the place for it either.
