SL Development Update 3 - New Character Previews!
🕑 Added 2020-01-13 18:37:50 +0000 UTCHello to all our fans and supporters!
As promised, we are today unveiling the next character in our forthcoming release for Sunshine Love.
We have read your comments, concerns and criticisms of our lead-female MC over the past week, and we have made some physical changes to her figure which we hope most of you will find more appealing. Don't worry, she's not changed much. Only a few tweaks here and there were made.
As we have mentioned previously, there will be a variety of different female characters that will feature throughout this new VN.
Therefore, it gives you us a better chance of providing a character that may be suited more to your specific tastes, interests, desires etc.
We also mentioned in our post last week that we will reveal a new character each week, up until just before the first version of Sunshine Love is released.
About the game
We also wanted to use today’s post to give everyone more insight into what this game will be about, some of the objectives, etc.
But at the same time, we don’t want to give away too much either, as not to spoil things!
You will play as the main character (the guy in last week's picture previews) who finds himself having to travel from his home to Sunshine Bay near the start of the game.
He goes there to help his childhood female friend run a Bed and Breakfast Hotel, which is located in Sunshine Bay. Your objective is to help her create more business for her flailing hotel before it goes into receivership. You will stay there during the usually busy Summer period, or three months if things go well.
You will also be given the task of helping her to recruit other people (or characters) in the town for specific positions at the hotel (e.g a cook, a maid, a receptionist, plus other jobs!).
As the game progresses, you will get to know some or all of these characters a lot better, and you will have the option to choose to see them as a work colleague, friend or maybe even something more!
Now before you ask, there won't be any grinding or anything like that involved in the game, so don't worry about it. Our idea is to keep the same gameplay from our two previous games and adding a little extra stuff to make the gameplay and endings not so linear. We'll share more details about this in a future post.
There is a very detailed backstory that features at the start of the game. It will explain the relationship between the MC and his friend. You will also find out what his present situation is, and the exact reason why he must leave his hometown to go to Sunshine Bay.
Again, we don’t want to give too much of the story away before the game is even released!
About the new character
The character in the previews below is the female-MC’s "best friend".
She’s eighteen years old, a keen surfer, and is currently studying at college. Her intention is to also help your friend with the running of the hotel.
Like with you and the “friend” characters, you will be able to name the FMC's best friend character when she appears in the game.
So have a good think about the name that you would like to give to her ;)
(Feel free to post a name that you might consider for her in the comments section!)
Please let us know your thoughts on this character in the comments section below.
This new game is not just about us and our personal tastes, it’s for you guys and girls also. So use this opportunity when we post each character preview to let us know exactly what you think.
All feedback is welcome including criticism, as long as it’s constructive.
So, here she is:

She's a lot shorter than the MC. She's 152cm tall or 5 feet tall. FMC calls her Shortcake because she's short, sweet, and adorable! :P
Changes to the childhood “Friend” character
As mentioned above and in replies, we gave to most of you who had some concerns about the first preview of the “friend” character, we have made some adjustments to her physique, to try and give her a more realistic look.
The main thing we want for this character is for her to be completely different in every possible way to the lead female-MC in our previous two VN’s.
We are well aware that it’s almost impossible to create a lead character that everybody is going to like. However, having multiple female love interests appear in this new game will give you all more options, and to (hopefully) find that one girl or woman that fits the bill!
Just because the “friend” is one of the main female characters in SL, doesn’t automatically make her the most important, or everyone’s favourite.
We know that. So please keep that in mind for when we get closer to the release date and when you are viewing the new character reveals over the next few weeks. We consider them all as someone’s favourite new character, regardless of how big their role in the game will be.

Other details
Some fans have asked what fetishes will appear in SL, or how it will differ to our first two VN’s.
All we can say right now is that we are very open to ideas and suggestions, and that we will try not to rule anything out at the present time.
However, please see the disclaimer below to see what will not feature in this version of our new game:
Disclaimer: “Sunshine Bay” will not feature bestiality, rape, and child exploitation. There will also be no fringe sexual fetish creations, such as necrophilia, NTR or fetish creations that are hard to distinguish from non-consensual sex. That’s not what we’re about and most people that have played our first two games will know that about us already.
This VN will also not feature any incest or incest themes... Only landladies and roommates are allowed!
We'll share a full fetishes list in a future post.
Feedback
So anyways, please leave us your thoughts, feedback and constructive criticism about our new character previews, or anything to do with the new game, in the comments section below.
Thanks to all you guys (and girls) that have posted up messages and suggestions on our various pages over the past few weeks.
We’re still going through them all and we’ll do our very best to include these ideas into this new VN wherever we can.
And if we don’t, then we will consider them for our other current game or any VN’s that we create in the future ;)
SL v0.1 will be released in late-March, with an exact release date to be posted up soon.
Be sure to check back with us next week for our fourth character preview, as well as more details about the release of Sunshine Love!
Have a great day!
Mrdots.

Bruce
she looks her name should be named Tabitha
Carl
Love the foot-focus, and the surfer girl especially!
MrDots Games
"Yes" won with 75% of the total votes. You can see the poll's results here: https://www.survey-maker.com/results2694731x18f576C6-79#tab-2
tompiro
oui, mais c'était juste mon avis personnel après je suis sur que je m'y habituai comme pour les autres personnages des deux premiers jeux , D au début je la trouvais trop petite avec trop de poitrine mais maintenant elle est ma petite préférée, je la retrouve dans d'autres jeux et je l'adore. c'est pour cela que j'aimerais la voir dans ce nouveau jeu avec d'autres éventuellement.
Jeff Steel
Fat bottomed girls make the Rocking World go round.
tompiro
oui j'aime beaucoup la deuxième fille , je préfère les petits seins pour ma part mais elle fait très jeune pour dix huit ans on a l'impression quelle est encore une adolescente çà n’empêche quelle est mignonne et l'amie d'enfance n'est pas mal du tout peu être un peu trop de fesse mais pour le reste c'est parfait
Richard Agne
Love how it looks so far, second girl is more to my liking. Can't wait to see more characters and to play the game.
Arthur
My daughters name is Lori and very much resembles D. Im sure she has many names....
Alex Croyd
Much Tim., Much xD
Alex Croyd
The second one have way too much boobs, you should reduce them a little. Both are pretty. And nice story otherwise. Please make the game can last after the end of the main story, kind of an "open world" game, it would be so sooo great to go in this direction with your games. Thanks.
Paul Coy
Love the new girl. Way more my type than the first girl.
Bruce Vahl
I believe there should be default names for the nameable NPCs. At least the younger one, or referencing them will be difficult in postings. Either way, they both look delicious! 18, huh!?
Loopus
Looks promising! About fetish suggestions: I know that most guys here are harem players, but honestly it gets boring after a while. So why not spice things up with a second or third male side cast? By giving players the choice whom to romance and whom not you could give the leftover girls some boyfriends to play with. This way harem players could catch them all and voyeuristic players could see what happens to them...in detail of course :-) And who knows, depending on the former treatment from the MC some threesome events could take place...
Fabien
In DMD I personally named D Alice. I still think it went well with her.
tompiro
il est possible de donner au MC de choisir son nom et celui des personnages qui sont ou seront dans le jeu, peu importe le moment ou ils rentre dans le temps. comme je l'ai vu dans d'autres jeux, oui je suis un accro des jeux en VN , je suit une vingtaines de jeux et je soutiens quelques créateurs comme MrDots et j'ai déjà vu dans des jeux ou tu peu choisir le nom de tout les protagonistes.
Arthur
I would like to know what happened with the vote to bring some form of D back. If you do I want her named Lori. The new character I would like to see named Shawna. And they are great so far.
Kyo Gato
I think just like Melody , play yuri again , need more lesbians ~ ≧ω≦
Santa C
This sounds cool! In my mind it is the perfect setting for some much needed spying/voyeur action, please! :-)
tompiro
nous voici avec un joli trio n'est-pas, le MC et l'amie d'enfance et la meilleur amie, la petite surfeuse délurée qui n'a pas froid aux yeux malgré son jeune age, le tout dans une relation ouverte pourquoi pas, je trouve cela intéressant.
Jeff Steel
We’ve had at least two female fans in the past want sharing as opposed to a MC dominated harem only - sharing is in the cards at least to the extent of the anticipated DMD version of sharing.
Rys
She's perfect!
Fabien
Wow the best friend of FMC is so cute, don't change her please. Anyway regarding the kinks, I know that ntr strictly speaking is out of question, but what about a possibility of sharing/swinging scenes ? since you already did it in another game. If done tastefully and at reasonable doses, sharing some female characters is a theme I really love.
monte91
dang liked the old childhood friend render was thicc, and the new char is giving child vibes.
ManBearPig
landlady would be amazing <3
Crimson
FMC best friend looks like a Emma to me and for the rework can't say i can complain she looks good to me
Jeff Steel
And a slightly bigger head (or shorter neck) ...
Jeff Steel
Cheeks like a little squirrel.
marsch
Just a little less butt and legs for our reworked FMC, am I right?
crugh2112
I would name her Andrea. If she is a bit of a tomboy, Andi for short.
LordDrake
so now white shirt like i was asking or not directly but they can wear 1 in the game ? 1 brunette and 1 redhead oh ok lol but make them virgin ^^ and this time create blood when they will losr they virginity by having sex by the first time its much moore real in D my D and in Melody there was no blood for they're first time i know not every girls bleed whe its theyre first time but perso i think its moore real when they bleed so try it tks and for name well i like Amy , Amanda , Asaya , Amaya , Ashley , Chloe , Shirley and so many moore ^^ i cant wait
Heavenly Demon
I personally like the new, more realistic character models & trust the dev team to give us a variety of characters (age, gender, body type etc) to choose from. I would really really like it if the game has a scene gallery in main options! I'm pretty sure this will make a lot of people happy. Can you please confirm or deny this to hopefully put my & others mind a ease. P.S. - I love this characters freckles, it makes her look even more cute
Balvenie1401
The girls looks goodso far, even the MC looks much better then most aVNs to be honest, an actual normal person :) Gotta say this lead female is far better looking then the previous two, muuuuuch better, thank you. Any chance we´ll get some trans content once the fetisches get published, not refering to the MC obv.. but hopefully one or two optional characters for the MC to get to know ;) Anyway, best of luck with developing.
HotRod1227
Characters appear superb so far. May I suggest that you consider a bisexual male friend for MC who might join in for three some fun occasionally as well as add a needed blow job once in a while.
FrazerV
So far, perfect!
Marco Diaz
I think bestfriend will take the protagonism in my game xD
Messè
Her cheeks are a bit puffy, but adorable still! (new character)
Romuald
i'm already in love with her (freckles yeahh)
Yankator
They look good
Stylebender
The main Female character is still great even after the adjustments. The “best friend” though, WOW 😍 she is perfect!
Ian Stewart
Love everything I'm seeing so far. Can't wait for the launch.
BigZouzou
🔥
Scott Triacca
Female MCs best friend is a dream...just perfect
