VN Ren'Py Completed Melody [v1.00 Extras] [MrDots Games]

[Enyos]

As one of the game creators, MC’s age is not set in stone. He has a lower age of 28 and upper age of late 30’s. In addition, the script as written puts him with a college degree (age 22) plus some years in the industry (imo, some 7-10 years) putting him about 29-32 imo. Isabella’s age is scripted as 26, and if MC was in school the same time as her, then (assuming a 4-year high school) his age would max out at 30.

Thank you! This was the same math I came to several pages back. A 9-13 year age gap is negligible, and wouldn't prevent "True Love" from budding. A misandrist is just as bad as a misogynist, in thinking the other sex is inherently evil or inferior. I've appreciated Mr Dots and Ptolemy works for not coming off in those tones, and I wish the best for you all.

I have some minor issues with this game:

First, Melody's (and most other Girl's) breasts are ridiculously oversized. Do you have any idea how heavy those melons would be on a real person? I won't imagine the pain they feel in their spines when they get older... Not to mention gravity. Age 40, nipples grinding the ground while walking... Yikes.... But i get it, it's a stretch that almost any game here does on physics. Be it.

The second problem I (a session musician with some 10years stage experience.... ehmmmm...) have is the depiction of ternary music education throughout the game. I never seen a conservatory or arts college where you are that flexible in your instrument or subject choice after you have been accepted. In the real world, you submit with your main instrument (or main profession, like singing, composing, conducting, etc.) to a musical direction (classical, new music, popular music...) and stick with it. This whole "try out any instrument and pick the one that best suits you"-thing is pretty late by the time the story plays out. To be fair, i only know our local educational system, maybe the story plays somewhere where arts colleges work differently, who knows.

Third, the whole depiction of the life of a professional musician is quite adventurous. As before, you usually stick with your main instrument, maybe a second, related one, like guitar and bass, piano and synth, or drums and percussion. But playing several, fundamentally different instruments well enough to be hired as a session musician in all of them is extremly rare. (Unless you're Jacob Collier or someone like that. But then you wouldn't work as a stand-in, probably.)

Finally, i have some difficulties "getting into" the MC. He is extremely naive and mature at the same time which i find quite an implausible combination: on the one hand he has consensual and deliberate sexual relationships with Becca, Amy and/or Issy (which i would qualify as "mature"), but on the other hand he has no idea what to make of his wet dreams of Melody or her kisses until week 7 or so ("naive").

Nonetheless, this is one of the best games I came across here so far, so please continue the good work.

Well i wouldnt call it naive. MC just had a breakup with his fiance. There are also Izzy, Bekka and Amy who are interested in MC, so ill guess he dont realy know where his head and overall his heart is.

I also remeber that MC asked himself "Am I falling for..." during a Lesson while Melody is leaving, but dont remeber the week.
So comming from a breakup, meet an "old love" (Izzy) flirting with Bekka and Amy and overall beeing Melodys tutor and maybe thinking, it should not happen falling for her, i wouldnt call naive.

I had something similar after a breakup, when i meet a girl from school after 15 years, invited her for a coffee and start meeting her regular without any intensions. It took some time until i realize i have fallen for her and dont even noticed she did for me, cause i was to busy with other things in mind, even i thought about her very often

Anyway, i like the story and in my opinion its one of the best i have played so far.
Hope there will be an update soon

Her legs look weird
I know to make proper renders you need to do lots of stuff like, a decent model, a complete skeleton inside the model and at least a little bit of muscle mechanics. that alone takes from a week or a month depending who does it and how much realism they want to achieve.
I do like the renders in the game but this one looks very weird.

 

[Endrju]

actually i think she looks nice, like ready to be eaten

Is there no longer a set place where the released previews for the next update are all stored together for easy viewing?

 

[fauxplayer]

She's NOT!! Melody and Sophie are high school girls. Mr Dots is self-censoring because of Patreon/Real Life rules: he's not allowed to depict MINORS having sexual intercourse. The little Asian waitress is a minor, too.

WHY can't you understand it?

MC should be 35-40, Amy is 31, Sophie and Melody are 16-17.

WTF, dude! I think you should restart the game from the very beginning and carefully read everything. MC is a middle aged accomplished and established session and touring musician who knows music industry's big shots and had enough of everything!

You do see the inconsistency in your back-to-back posts, right? The text states clearly that the MC is probably at least 40 and that Melody is exactly 19 and in college. But when I play, the MC feels younger than that, while I feel it's perfectly believable that Melody is 19. You feel the opposite: to you, clearly the MC is older, and Melody is a minor, despite what the text tells us. The events and context and storytelling allow the reader/player to project all manner of attributes to the characters in the story. There's no right or wrong answer here, and telling someone to "understand that she's really a minor!!" is arguing an opinion, not a fact. I feel like I'm playing a game where the MC is late 20s/early 30s and falling in love with a 19-year old college freshman. You seem to be saying that you're playing a game where the MC is mid/late 40s perving on a "minor" of 16-17. It's a matter of perception. Which is awesome!

About the MC, you are correct and I was wrong, as I realized when re-reading chapter 1 at your polite request: While the MC's age is never stated, his HS/college friend has a son who is just starting college, so that means the MC is most likely mid-40s. I missed that during my first playthrough (or forgot about it during my subsequent playthroughs). But Brittany (the ex-girlfriend) looks a LOT younger than 40--late 20s/early 30s given her appearance (in my opinion!! others may disagree). Plus, the narrative of being engaged to a long-time sweetheart is a 20-something story, not a 40-something story. If you ignore the "facts" about their ages, the story plays out as if the MC is late 20s/early 30s given his tastes in music, movies, and how the various women react to him. In other words, despite what the text tells you, it feels like the MC is younger, at least to me. My original main point was that I don't feel that the MC's relationship with Melody is a 40+ something man perving on a teenager over whom he holds the upper hand in a power dynamic. It's the story of a more experienced man falling in love with a less-experienced woman who craves experience and bonds with an older man who can show her through the looking glass. Also, you know, lust. That's hot!!

As for Melody, the text of the story literally states that Melody is 19 and in college. But if you feel like the story is constructed in a way where she is younger, I can see it. You're not tilting at windmills here; I do see your point! But if you want to argue that MrDots is really telling some perverted story about a 16-year old being groomed and conditioned by a 40-something year old teacher... okay...? So? I'll fap to that. That's hot!

It seems you're trying to argue that we're being sheeple because we don't "understand" that this is really a story of an older man having sex with a "minor." Let's for a moment ignore the fact that over 75% of the world's population lives in jurisdictions where sexual contact with a 16-year-old young woman is perfectly legal (if not expected), which means that by definition this is not "perverted" but actually a normalized expression of human sexual behavior. This is FANTASY! If anyone feels uncomfortable fapping to Melody because they think she's too young despite what the text clearly states, that's fine! If someone wants to fap to Melody because she seems young despite what the text states, that's also fine!!

The first girl I ever fapped to was 14... I was 13! I've had sex with three girls under 18... I was also under 18!!! (Actually, I was 18 and she was 17 one of the times, but I'm not too concerned about anyone's opinion that it's not okay for two seniors in high school to fool around even though one is four months older than the other).

So, at the end of the day, you either have an "old" man bonding emotionally and enjoying sexual contact with a fully pubescent girl of an indeterminate age that might be less than 18, or you have a not-so-old man bonding emotionally with and enjoying sexual contact with a 19-year-old college freshman, or something in between. Great!! It's perfectly fine and dare I say healthy and GOOD to remember the realities and enjoy the fantasies of youthful sexual experience. Painting that fantasy as somehow immoral or obscene is odd, especially given we're on a forum that hosts porn games.

Fair points and I agree with all but the first.

I agree with the instrument specialization issue. It is my understanding of session musicians (and being such a competitive area) that you are expected to be perfect or nigh perfect out the gate at a session. That would only be possible with tens of thousands of hours of practice, making specialization in more than one instrument very very difficult.

As to the MC, I see your issue. He wasn’t scripted in the beginning that way but came out that way as the story was scripted. In hindsight, I might have pressed for a “concerted effort to not fall in attraction with student” tact by MC which might have added a believable motive for the slow build with Melody.

As for the breast size of Melody, I disagree. Personally, I’ve always dated women more in Sophia’s size range - then I married a woman in D from DMD’s range. There are millions of women walking around with Melody’s build. But at least it is a nice change of pace from you as most of the time people are complaining about the smaller size breasts of the characters, lol.

Good news too - being past 40, I’ve discovered that not all women’s breasts age in the same way. Some keep a youthful imperviousness to gravity even after 40 that rivals many women in their 20’s. Imo, the firmness at 20 thus is going to be an indication of the firmness at 40.

 

[Mr.perv]

Beat me by 5 min lol

Can you make a highly compressed Android version plssss

 

[Jeff Steel]

I have a question. Why does Melody have a “corruption” tag? Is it a term that automatically applies when the MC is more experienced and one or more of the potential partners are either virgin or demonstratively less experienced? Doesn’t that happen over and over in real life, except for when two virgins meet up ... or is even that considered co-corruption?

I’ve always seen corruption as having an experienced person and less experienced person, and then a level of coercion, peer pressure, or other method that, but for those tactics, takes the more innocent person out of their normal comfort experiences and into new sensual and sexual experiences that break down their previous hesitancy toward those experiences.

In DMD, MC did corrupt D - especially with the back rubs, etc. But in Melody, I don’t see it.

In romance novels, there are novels that fall under Dark Romance. Personally I don’t see either Melody or D falling even close into a Dark Romance. Examples of Dark Romance:

“Asking For It” - a female graduate student goes through great trauma and and now has rape fantasies she has kept from her past partner ... until the main male character comes into her life and agrees to fulfill them. [note - this is a scenario that could have been woven into Melody if we wanted to as it could have been an atonement for Melody’s mother’s death - JS]

“First Touch” - a woman’s best friend leaves a voicemail that she is in trouble and she becomes an amateur sleuth, leading her to the main male character who is a billionaire hotelier who is also rumored to have mafia ties.

“Killing Sarai” - a young teen lives with her mother in the compound of a drug lord, never able to leave. When main male character, an assassin named Victor, she flees with him, sending the compound into turmoil and a hunt ensuing for the two.

“Prisoner” - a university student as part of a project teaches inmates English and writing classes at a prison. Main male is a charming inmate who convinces MC to help him get free. MC is then taken hostage as main male sets off on a quest of revenge against those who put him in prison.

“Ruin and Rule” - MC is kidnapped by a motorcycle gang to be inspected and then trafficked. Main male is the leader of of that gang.

 

[Enyos]

I have a question. Why does Melody have a “corruption” tag?

I've pondered the same question. Both are consenting and come to the realizations that they are "falling for" the other independently. There is no malevolent coercion, and the MC comes off as a really sweet and caring person. The only "kind of" corruption I've noticed, is getting Melody to act more feminine (wearing dresses and lingerie, which she does of her own accord) and becoming a nicer person.

 

[Lorric17]

Well, as I understand it, corruption doesn't have to be rape-until-you-beg-for-it corruption. Melody going from virgin to lusting for mc's dick (one can dream) is a softer kind of corruption, imo.

 

[JeefZ]

Well I make a pussy purr with the stroke of my hand ,
Sohpie and Melody know they're gettin'it from me!
And they know were to go for their Lovin'man
They know I'm doin'it for free
I've got Melody Fever​

Sing to the tune of Cat Scratch Fever By Ted Nugent Then Please Kill Me for haveing toooo much time on my hands today!!!!! Sang that to myself all morning working. Im not right LOL

 

[bobbo69]

Who gives a f*ck how old they are, I want me some Melody

 

[muttdoggy]

You're right.. there's no corruption. So I removed that tag. But boobies were squeezed in this game so groping is added.

 

[muttdoggy]

And for tit's sakes, quit talking about age of marriage. It's got nothing to do with this game. Melody looks and acts 19 plus her stated age is above 18 in the game. She's "legal" so stop bringing it up.

 

[Emperor_Arcturus]

You sir, have given me hope for the future

 

[Towik]

Are we still on the age thing.
I do understand that a teenager's mind is not fully developed until, what was it 22 ? 21? anyway I honestly don't care, even in reality (if this is really real, sometimes It doesnt feel real...) Some kids/teens grow up differently, some people will still not be mature in any way even in their mid 30s. When it comes to art/fiction I said it few times. I would be fine with almost anything, its fiction. There will be always people going bananas over stuff like this... instead of carrying for real issues in this messed society...
People are great as individuals but when they join a group, they lose it and act like mindless bunch of (I think i will not finish this sentence)
Honestly I'm done with age talk and sorry. I could go on but does anyone really care what some random Pole has to say about this... I go continue playing Harem Hotel and later probably General Practitioner
