Added the skin of a model that was just published (and has a very different facial and body structure). The irises are from another model.

Thanks, Tony!
I swear I never intended to push the envelope (if I understood that expression correctly).
I only wanted to tell a little story about a bunch of people who care for each other (and have a lot of sex, although that part, weirdly, is the least important for me). I wanted to show how a family of choice can be built focusing on sincerity and cheesy things.
But your words gave me that warm feeling every writer wants to feel (we are a bunch of egomaniacs :D ). Thanks!

To clarify, I meant I play some other games where the devs think they are pushing the envelope, they feel like they're trying to be groundbreaking and as real as possible, but there ends up being just nothing to them, most of the time. I wouldn't put My Dorm in that category at all, you're a down to Earth dev with a down to Earth game, and the "slice of life" kind of feeling is so refreshing.

Also, just because I saved it as I was playing last night, I love the flashback of a young Betty:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Since that save is from the first scene of Season 3, I guess your best bet is to load your last save from Season 2 and continue from there.

That's what I meant. I don't want to break any ground. My Dorm is a "return to the basics" story. A story about feelings, heart, and wholesomeness. Yes, and sex. :D
It's been overdone and I guess some devs prefer to try new things to distinguish themselves from the flock, which is nice. But being my first project (and my first story in some years) I wanted to keep it "simple".
Some time ago a player told me (paraphrasing) "There are a lot of games with better renders. There are a lot of games with a better story. There are a lot of games with better dialogues. There are a lot of games with better lewd scenes. But there are very few games with better renders, AND a better story, AND better dialogues, AND better lewd scenes". I guessed at that moment that being "competent" but not "the best" in those four areas is a strong point if the game hasn't an area where it fails miserably.

I loved each moment while rendering Young Betty! Btw, another model that can't be found in any other game.

Yes, this is exactly it. My Dorm is high in everything though, so it's not saying that any of those areas are poor, even if there are games that do individual parts better (which is subjective anyway, of course).

Without trying to insult anyone, and knowing how many people try to load a save from mid-Season 2 into Season 3 or open a bug report when the game closes after trying to start a new game in Season 3 and Jamaal saying "You can't start a new game in Season 3. The game will close"... I think the MC is over some players' intelligence ;)

But that scene with Debbie is amazing. Sorry... she's amazing in that scene.
Click to expand...
Yeah the SECOND I saw Debbie in that Blue "USA Swim" T-shirt...She Had Me! Every Group picture I see her in it now my eye is IMMEDIATELY Drawn to her.

Concerning Player Intelligence and Tech. I work/ed in Tech Support so I understand that people may make mistakes concerning Software Instructions even if spelled out but there is no doubt MC can be dense at times up until the Debbie Cloak Room scene which change my thoughts about him...

Really good game so far. Is moaning and sex noises supposed to be a thing for season 2 and up? The first season i played had moaning but i cannot get it to work for season 2 (and tried some gallery scenes in season 3 aswell and they didn't work). The music works fine, just not sure if its by design or if my game is bugged or something. Other than that though this has been a great game.

The moaning sounds I used in Season 1 received very bad criticism, so I stopped using them for Seasons 2 and 3 until I can get some better files. I want(ed) each girl to have a distinct moan instead of using the same one for every girl, and the result was that it sounded fake.

Well, I had 4 uniforms to choose from and used the "Gougars" one for a reason...


No idea who Stabby Mike is. I should research.
In the last update there was a (not too) semi-hidden crossover with Dorm Days (I haven't read the comic or played the game, but I talked a lot with the developer and he was so kind to lend me a comic book for Martha to read). I don't plan to do cameos or crossovers. At much, perhaps introduce My Dorm into the Lexiverse (if I get permission to do it). We have a young braided redhead who loves pop music.


Thanks, Ramagar!
I can't see anyone being upset. Surprised yes, but not upset. The wildcard reaction will be Meemaw's, but they have a conversation due since 45 years ago.


I started with the base model for Genesis 8. Added a facial structure I liked (a combination of two models) and changed things here and there (nose, lips, eyebrows, lashes, etc.). Changed a lot of parameters in the body (using one model's body as a base and tweaking the important parts, boobs, ass, fitness, height, nipples, proportions, etc.). Added the skin of a model that was just published (and has a very different facial and body structure). The irises are from another model. The makeup from another asset.

So, the chances of any other dev taking the same 30-40 choices I took while designing Charlotte are almost nil.


Farren is the girl the MC's father fled with. The one everyone thought was his lover.
Ami was the original name of Kate when she was going to be an Asian girl with the same story. When I designed Christy, I liked her more. Ami didn't have a chance "against" Maddie or Christy as the cutest Asian girl, so I changed her into Kate.

I was so focused on hiding Betty (even in the first family trees I published) that I didn't remember to add her name to the list. I wanted her to be a surprise when he arrived dressed as a nun (in the family trees she is in her uniform, black version).

I tried to find the previews for the second batch of students but i could only find Zoe and Hailey. But I know I was least excited about Patrica so no lost there lol.

Plus you did an incredible job with Charlette's design, very excited to see her in game.

Not in-game, the MC doesn't know them by name yet, but it was said here. It's Patricia.
Click to expand...
Yeah, I missed it then, thanks! She was the one I was hoping when I refreshed my memory using the link you posted a few messages back. She looks nice and all, but is just a bit too familiar-looking, so it's good to have her being the one swapped out.
