It’s our pleasure today to be able to officially release Version 13 (Week 14) of our current visual novel MELODY!
This update as you are probably aware by now is the FINAL WEEK of you and Melody’s journey.
It’s been a long but thoroughly enjoyable adventure for us to create and to share with you all. As we’ve mentioned in previous game day posts, the start of this visual novel was brought about due to unique circumstances, and put together within a few short weeks of its inception.
During the creation of this VN, we’ve been able to try some new things out, use some new locations, new poses, animations, and set the menu up much differently to our first game.
We’ve always maintained that these are visual novels first, and a game second. This story has always been about the beginnings of Melody’s career in music, and depending on the choices that you the main character has made for her and yourself, will determine what kind of career and future she has by games end.
This update contains several new renders, more animations (for $20+ members), and the Lewd Gallery will have eight new pictures included
(more on this below in the Lewd Gallery section).
Most of the previous bugs or errors that you guys have listed on our page or on the unofficial discord have been amended for this release.
We mentioned last month that we will be spending December to fix up all the errors and plot holes that still exist within the early parts of the game.
Thank you again to all of you who have sent through any errors over the past couple of months. It really is a huge help!
In this update, it will be vitally important which girls you have set on “LOCKED” or “UNLOCKED” in the main menu for this update especially, as it will determine which game endings you will get to see at the end of the game.
If you have the Walkthrough, it will explain exactly what you need to do or what will be required for you to attain, or to avoid certain endings.
(More details on this are in the “Game Endings” section below.)
Just keep in mind that if you lock or unlock specific paths in this update, then some of the storylines may not make sense.
So for instance, if you’ve already decided to be with Melody, and Sophia is locked, then unlocking Sophia will give you dialogue if you are dating both girls instead of just Melody. And it might mean that you’ll get one ending instead of another.
Scenes with audio
Again we have added audio for this week of the game and the special endings, and for our December release, we will add music into every other week of the game (finally!!).
For those of you who are new to this VN or if you are only playing it for the very first time, you will notice music playing as soon as the game loads. However, once you begin the game, you won’t hear any music, as it hasn’t been added to most of the scenes between Weeks 1 and 11 - apart from the live music and music lesson scenes with Melody.
As mentioned above, we will add music to the rest of the game before we release our final ever version of Melody in late-December.
As always, there are a few more live songs added for the scenes where Melody plays on stage, as well as some song lyrics that a big fan of ours (Jordan George) had written up and asked if we could use in the story. These lyrics will feature during one of the game endings (so keep an eye out for that!)
About this update (SPOILER ALERT)
The stage is now set for you to help MELODY become a music superstar. But have you done everything possible as her lover and her manager to make sure nothing goes wrong in this final week?
Have you attained enough Melody points to ensure you’ve got all seven keys before Week 14 ends?
Can you also resist temptation from another, just as you’re on the brink of having a big future with Melody in the music industry?
What kind of future were you envisioning with your beloved? Could a huge career for her not be where destiny takes you both in the future?
Maybe you could get an extra surprise for your relationship that you never managed to have with your ex?
If you are dating Melody and seeing her best friend SOPHIA, then you will know by now what the benefits are of seeing both girls at once!
But can it last forever? Sophia has already outlined to you her own ambitions and dreams that she’d like to pursue away from music in the future, and depending on what path you are on, will determine what she decides to do with her own career.
And with XIANNE having put the moves on Melody (sexually speaking) in the last update if you are on her path, and also having a thing for Sophia (again if you chose that path), where does that leave you in the grand scheme of things?
Is it even remotely possible for you to have some kind of relationship with all three girls?
NOTE: The NEW target amount to aim for, in order to get the seventh and final key has been reduced to 385 points.
In our final update at the end of the year, there will be a special scene that you can get if you gain all 400 points on offer, which will be the new highest possible total after the December release.
Game Endings
In this final update, there will be THREE different endings, with a slight variation on one of those, depending on what choices you make in this final week of the game.
There is one Bad Ending, one Good Ending (with two different outcomes, depending on choices made), and one Perfect Ending.
In saying that, you may find that one of the two Good Endings to the game is your idea of perfection, which is what we were hoping for when we created these conclusions.
Again, if you have trouble finding any of these endings or require more Melody points, then please use the walkthrough if you have it.
We may add another ending to the game in the December update, but we haven’t made a final decision on that as yet.
Lewd Gallery
For this month, the gallery will have eight brand-new designs featuring Melody, Sophia and Xianne.
These will be available to view for our $10+ Patreon members, and a new special gallery code will be provided in one of the other posts that I’ve put up today.
As most of you are probably aware by now, Melody has her own Instagram page which you can access on the main screen using the Insta icon, which you will see in the top right-hand corner of the Home screen.
Please “Follow” Melody’s page to view her recent updates, as well as some rare, unseen renders that we were unable to use in the game.
Alternatively, you can check out her Insta page right now at this link here: https://www.instagram.com/melody_singersongwriter/
Melody has about 760 followers (at the time this was written), so a big THANK YOU to those of you who are currently following her.
The Instagram page will continue to run next year and beyond, and this will also include some posts that will relate to our next game.
Extra Scenes for $20 Patrons (SPOILER ALERT):
Note: “Bonus” scenes will feature if you make the right decisions during the game and if you are on that character’s specific path.

- shower sex with Melody and Sophia (animated scene)
- bedroom sex with Melody x 2 positions (animated scene)
- anal toy scene with Melody (animated scene)

- anal sex with Melody x 3 positions
Final Words
Just to reiterate, there will be one final update of Melody which we will work on during the month of December - with our other game being worked on and released in November.
What we are looking to do is to give the game one final polish, working on and adding things that we didn’t have the time to while the game has been in progress.
When you only have four or five weeks to work on an update like we allow ourselves, not everything is going to be perfect, or the way you hoped it would turn out.
But we get pretty darn close to how we want it each time the game has been updated.
Had we decided to take more time working on each week of the game before releasing an update, just to fix any of these minor errors that pop up, then Melody probably wouldn’t have been completed until later next year. We feel that overall, this was always the better way to do things, as it guarantees you guys an update every single month (aside from when we have a break of course), rather than you guys getting one every three or four months.
December will give us a whole month to fully focus on getting the game as perfect as possible, and to also add in some scenes that we didn’t have time to put in there the first time around.
We are looking at adding in a special scene gallery, similar to what we applied to Chapter 1 of DMD when we took a month to add some special features.
A replay scene gallery has also been discussed, as is adding some bonus “deleted” and “extra” scenes that we weren’t able to add into the final cut of the game.
So expect to see some scenes and “combinations” that you probably didn’t think would ever be possible! ;)
As mentioned above, the final release will mean the game will have music running from start to finish.
One of our biggest regrets was not being able to have music in there from the start. But creating these recent updates and applying audio to each scene now has us well-prepared for when we start our third game in the new year.
MELODY v14 will be released in late December, hopefully before Christmas Day, but we’ll see how we go.
An official release date will be posted up in the Overview section of my Patreon wall in a few days' time.
As always, if you find any errors or bugs in the current update of the game, please post them up on our Community Board or in the comments section below. Or if you are a part of our Unofficial Discord channel, please post them in the “bug reports” section.
We will have them fixed asap, or in December for the final update of the game.
Please help us further by spreading the word about either of our visual novels and making others aware of the free demo version of Melody in the Overview section. We’d love to continue making these kinds of visual novels or games for you all for several more years to come, and letting as many people know about what we do will give us the best chance of that happening!
So that’s it! We really hope you have enjoyed playing this VN and will be satisfied by the final week of “Melody”.
Again, a huge thanks to anyone who has supported us during its production, and still continues to do so.
We appreciated the good wishes, the awesome feedback and believing in what we are trying to create.
Have a great day,
MrDots and the team.

I'm afraid we don't have any pictures or news to share yet. But we're hoping to release them soon (late December/early January). We're really focused on the last Melody version and once that's done, we'll be able to focus on the new game. Sorry :(
Adolfo
May we have any news (and pics) of the new game? Please
HearszAM
Maybe I can help, as I use a MAC. Which program did you use to extract the game file? Do you get a specific error message on the screen when trying to open the game app?
Lus Acosta
Do I do it for a Mac Is not let me open the game
HearszAM
That's a bug in the game that we'll fix next month before the December release. When Week 14 commences, change your relationship settings so that: - you have all three girls unlocked, as well as the Melody/Sophia threesome and the Sophia/Xianne lesbian paths unlocked as well. Xianne must have also given Melody a sexual massage during Week 13 to get the hotel room scene with all three girls. So best to start with that scene first, then adjust the relationship settings once Week 14 begins
BillyBongwater
Choose casual but u have to manually unlock xianne in the other girls section when u click on the keyboard after xiaane breaks up with u then u can choose to give melody a sexual massage when it comes to that part
James
Is the hotel room scene with Melody, Sophia and Xianne even possible? Week 9 choice between casual or just friends relationship for Xianne and Sophia seems to prohibit this ending what ever you choose.
HearszAM
First details for our third game to be posted up in December. Stay tuned!
Lordsnow22
loved playing the game, awesome work for sure. so whats next for you guys?
Dan Coats
Looking forward to it. The android installer is not working. I've removed the old game, even deleted the folder in the data folder to be sure and followed the same steps I always do. It simply says "App not installed".
Darnell
Nevermind Haha :D
Darnell
Help! My backed up saved files aren't there! lol :(
Jordan George
Just out of interest, was my input only available in the 'perfect' ending? Again, I didnt seem to see it on the 'good' ending...:D.... Also, I have started trying to work a tune for it as well... I just need to find someone to sing it:P
MrDots Games
Please download the game from here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/melody-v0-13-31117258 That's the version that comes with the animations.
Trip
THE ANIMATIONS ARE BLACKING OUT ON MINE!!!! DOES IT EVERYTIME WHAT SHOULD I DO DELETE ALL VERSIONS WHEN I TRY TO JUST US .13 IT DOESNT HAVE ANY ANIMATIONS?
TYR
Amazing! Thanks
HearszAM
If you ever do Jordan, we'll add it in for sure!
Jordan George
It's been a privilege to help you guys out with your project... and to actually have some of my own creations being used for something worthwhile... If only I were good enough to help provide some music for it as well (I only really have a few ab-lib licks to go in between each verse-chorus section), then maybe all you would need to do.. is maybe add in a softly-spoken female voice for the words... basically a poem with instrumentals in the background.. maybe I can ask a friend to help me with it when I find something suitable
MrDots Games

Keegan Smith
Also, the download links aren't working for me.
Keegan Smith
For some odd reason, my package installer for Android says that if I want to install this, I need to have a stable internet connection even though I have one. Can someone help me out with this issue, please?
