itch.io

don't know if it's the same thing but I've found Rainbow Hair on previous build, it changes its color constantly

here is another: hook up with Emily Grossberg, police officers, landlord and the bum

CP contract definitely isn't an easter egg and it isn't rare. it appeared to me as first ever available contract. and I did nothing specific. I believe that plot or actions ha no impact on what contract would be available, that it's for a false-random numbers to decide.

I'm curious. Volksauto seems to be the pinnacle of all partners, it's locked from the start. I imagined they can give some rare parts as a reward. you mentioned that you had Volksauto available, have you ever did it? what they offered, just more money?

also have you ever reached the top list of Twitch streamers? I guess you could have since you've seen Volksauto

I think it could be like a retrospective. like how our near future would look like from people some time ago from now. like a 2019 LA in Blade Runner. after all, cyberpunk is all about certain socio-cultural issues rather than plausible depiction of a future

it isn't really understandable for me at least. what MDRG is a porn game isn't a problem here. they have absolutely disgusting Peeping Dorm Manager in Steam, where the protagonist is a degenerate of a sort. he literally aims to ruin lifes of two particular girls, who did nothing bad to him. there are rapes and NTR. but not only that!

than it comes to a silly girl with a slutty behavior who works as a shop clerk and who openly trades her sexuality for a rich supporter - first thing protagonist do to her is licking her vagina.  as, I don't know, a triumph of self-disrespect and total absence of moral principles. and in the end the protagonist pays no price for his actions. everything is how it should be it seems. a pile of shit masking as a game for people to bask in their degeneracy without any bounds. 

on the other hand MDRG got banned for some reason thus there are less ways for people to knew about and support this. this feels unfair.

oh, I've got another three to try: Ada, Simone (from the 2002 "Simone" movie) and Pris (Blade Runner)! but I guess it's not worth trying to find such obvious or obscure references. Sylvie has to be some character from another adult game, they have t-shirts with her in MDRG.

I can confirm that game instantly recognizes names like slut, whore, bitch . Motoko, Alita, Elster - no luck. I'm not into anime or manga much, so I don't know any other cyberpunk girls with short haircuts. I guess some names could trigger later, not instantly

верно. я нашёл подтверждение вашим словам:

they have full OST on Youtube

as it mentioned before, 

"Do you know Kobeni from Chainsaw man?

Or Tomoko from Watamote?

That kind of vibe."

my guess is they might add IRS-related quest in some further release. there is a specific dialog in the game about that. in that case money and stock market would actually work.

on the other hand, I won't like if it will be nerfed to the point where players would have to grind. just a little maybe, without those ridiculous drops to 1$ per stock, while those are absolutely unrelated to any world news or player's actions. 

I feel like devs deliberately left stock market as it is for a player to avoid grind. If a player don't want to stream over and over, he can use other ways. but I agree, those mechanics can be better, consisted and depended. now they're more like mini-games undepended from the game's world

p.s. что-то я ступил, тут же походу при скачивании можно единовременно заплатить. правда непонятно, как это будет учитываться при скачивании последующих релизов

мне вообще не нравится система подписки. поэтому я лучше куплю сразу релиз 1.0. готов заплатить долларов 20 и забыть, а платить каждый месяц мне не нравится, хоть и отменить можно в любой момент. вот я до блокировки был подписан на Патреон. и хули толку, что платишь, скажем, 5 долларов в месяц, а крохотные обновления раз в полгода-год? не про эту игру, а в целом за ситуацию с adult-играми говоря.
правда невозможно сказать, как долго игра будет до 1.0 добираться. а вообще 0.87 выйдет 1 февраля, и проще подождать, чтобы оценить контент. ну или у пиратов поискать.

I've read what 'femcel' means and it's not very clear

I'd say it's not about a second location. If you purge data in-game, that does it. There is no meaning to keep your data after you deleted it intentionally. As far as I'm aware of, this game has no built-in backup service like in Steam.

 If you using Windows, I'd suggest to run CHKDSK on every volume, and then SFC. There are tutorials of how to do this. Also it really could be some third-party backup tool, so it's worth to check what sotware your system runs. But personally I stick with OS issues (chkdsk, sfc).

And you can just create another system user, log in, install the game in another location. Every user has it's own catalogue, so conditions are differ from the previous

in the game catalogue on Windows:

My Dystopian Robot Girlfriend\My Dystopian Robot Girlfriend_Data\Saves

also you can use in-game settings to purge save data

with bot only. you have to pay attention to the plot: main character is a looser and women aren't interested in him

This is a porn game alright. As one "wiseman" said, "story in a game is like story in a porn - it isn't important". So what would we have in this game without a story? It has one girl and four sex positions, all in 2D. Given that robogirl has no body in 3D, one won't have that much content. This is where the plot arises. You talking about 'white-knighting', and I'm talking about my principles, how I'd like to treat a person, even if it's in a game.

I remembered. On my first playthrough I was in no hurry to go the church. I talked to priestbot first and met the nun only on the next day. On my second playthrough I went to the church straight after MC was mentioned it. That time it is the nun who was there, and the priestbot on the next day. I talked to her and choosed the option to cheer her up (that she is capable to become a full-fledged nun). It's the first key option. Then I noticed that their place is in rubble - it's a the second key option. On the third day priestbot fell into BSOD after update, and the day after that I agreed with nun to help them - third option. After priestbot returned to normal state I convinced them that he should go to the Vatican and check for himself what happened - fourth option. The best way is to visit church on nun's hours and not before.

Wow, that's rather unexpected. For me getting a good Church ending was the most obvious path. There are guides in this Community. I can provide a save game before going to church (something around day 4 I think), if you'd like. I play on Windows if that'll do
https://filetransfer.io/data-package/wuJ3tXk6#link

There are maybe three options in dialogs with church people which lead to the different outcomes.  I tried only to help them and convinced them to go into Vatican.

If I remember correctly, it wasn't exactly a part of Jun's personality that affected priestbots

My point is that there is no way they can be together. She is an immortal machine, a perfect intelligence; pretty, but dreadful at the same time. Btw I was excited when I realized that she is an AI, not just a doll to fuck, and that means the game has a solid part in cyberpunk genre. On the other hand he is just a guy, one of the billions.  Though being not stupid and quite initiative, he is overwhelmed and humbled by life like many other people. For her being in relationship with a human is a game of being human herself; the more she soaking in human society or absorbing human experience, the more her only game becomes a game of survival. I doubt that a supreme being like her would be satisfied with a robot girlfriend or robot slut experience. This guy showed her something interesting, yes, but there is so much in the world beside that. Come on, he lives in slums, he eats nothing but some shit-ready-to-eat from a local store. He has no appearance, no physiq, no opportunities, nothing to show of. The only thing he can do for her is to provide some understanding of a human nature, hoping that she will use her knowledge not for evil deeds. I think that a Good endgame could be like "well, those days together were wonderful. Let us see what else life can offer".

She is someone's property. I don't think she could be a Chinese sleeping agent, more like a local corporate / government (which is a same thing in the US in nearest future) asset. Why would anyone make a sexbot with a combat capabilities? Clearly she was made for an infiltration and/or assassination work, and that those who lost her are eager to bring her back. I'd really like if main characters will manage to screw over her proprietors somehow, and then Jun will dissolve into global network, acting here and there from the shadows with a purpose to bring a long lasting days of peace and prosperity to the humanity... And all of this became possible thanks to the passion of a common man.

Well, I made it all up, but I hope you get the idea. In my opinion, this game isn't here to satisfy dreams of humbled men. To love and to be loved (or at least it has to look like that); to be with a willing girl who asks almost nothing in return. Well, the game can provide some experience for such longing and dreams, but it isn't only about that.

What important is that one has to be a good man, even if it sounds cheesy and vague. That is why we have the bigdaddyhurt character - he's a complete opposite to the MC. He is a man who would never understand how anyone can treat a sexbot like a human being. First time I saw him talking about 14 hours of work while sniffing coke I thought - yeah, that's a top manager character for you. I could go on and on all day about how many simple ideas this game has. That one should not dwell in dreams of how things should be. That one should not wait when someone else will solve all problems. And so on. Once again, in my opinion it isn't about how a weak man found a perfect girl and then they lived happily together until he died. Though anybody can play it as almost any other adult game if they like - a sex and doll dressing simulator with a few scraps of plot and jokes.

ну тут как и везде. ждать обновления. косметика в игре сейчас так себе, и да и шмоток относительно немного. с другой стороны, их и не мало. да и хер с ним, игра не столько про одевание кукол. нет обновления - искать моды. нет модов - делать самому.

Also I think it's not about bad stuff only. Even music tracks in the game have a strong theme of hope. It's always up to MC whether he'll meet the end all miserable. Maybe the experince he had with Jun will give him the means of how to get going, no matter what. With sweet memories and sad tenderness in heart, but he might get strong enough to proceed with life.

Well, being involved in fictional stuff too deeply indeed isn't usefull for anyone. 

As for me, I'm a recent player and I'm still under impression of this game. For an adult game it was enjoyable in so many ways, and the sex stuff aren't even on top of things. First, its music. If a game has nice tunes, it wll hook up a music fan right away. It's a 50% of success. Then plot and dialogs. They keep your interest even if some graphical content are most likely dummy pictures and could be replaced in future. You just don't paying much attention to some temporary flaws, you're interested in what's going on and what will be.

Events of the game are placed in the most near future, and we have a satyrical intepretation of the current Western world. I think it's also what makes the game great. Unlike other games like Cyberhunk 2069, we don't emmerse in a purely fictional cyberpunk environment. Instead we can think once again of how dystopian our current world could get really soon. It's just great. For me MDRG is definetely a piece of art, a statement in a form of an adult game. It is this one game that I will keep on my drive no matter what. I've played maybe another 6 adult games, but they were all too boring or too perverted for me. Also lack of a message or ideas, what MDRG has.

I definetely will replay after a major update, or, most likely, on 1.0 release. If any will be. As for financial support - with the current situation about Unity it's unclear whether this game will get to the 1.0 release. If I understood correctly, a reworked version of the new license agreement will consider many things. Naturally, I don't know how much it affects further MDRG development. And maybe not many developers would want to work with that engine anyway. So let's just wait for some dev news.

And in conclusion. I think that one of the ideas of the game is an ability to appreciate the moment of life. The current free version has 15 (!) endings. I don't know what they all about, and I don't really want to. I don't know what Jun is, or rather why a full-fledged AI was placed in a curvy, soft-looking body, but with a combat capacity. What I understand is that MC and Jun can't be with each other forever. She's meant for something great, while he is, and he will be nothing. Just a guy with a plain interests, nothing is remarkable about him. It's not like his gonna rent or buy a better place to live, move in it with Jun, improve his education, find a matter of life. He's just getting by while life floats away. Just like many people in our current capitalistic dystopia. He's going to die, and most likely alone and poor, just like he is before Jun. All they can do is to appreciate the moment of their relationship. He has to teach Jun compassion and empathy toward people, no matter of how corrupt society is. She also has something to teach MC. But the time will come when they'll have to separate. It's inevitable, so they'll have to let go.

Whether this wonderful game will have any further updates or not, I'd like to add that the menu in Clothes store is a pain in the ass. You have to quick read every position in the list because there is no filter like in the Bot menu

Ah yes, it's worth to mention that I choosed to draw bigdaddyhurt 's attention using stream, but I never  did. Seems like the game awaited my actions to unfold events after I triggered them, but it never happened

So, I skipped the first stream intentionally and never did it after that. The only questline I finished is Church (both nun and pristbot are back to the church from a vacation).

I did many walks to discover as many pieces of content as I could. I've met the bum three times, I talked to police several times (one time with Jun), and also to nun. There was a night-time police event about some disease outbreak or something, it was even mentioned on the news website, but never unfolded further.

I collected full set of experimental modules in Default skin pallete, but it seems doesn't affects anything, so I guess it's purely cosmetical and it doesn't matter whether you use those or Hyperskin ones. Though I haven't tried to use some other colors like Orange, I wanted to act according to the logic and using some "fake" colors for skin could be really dumb.

Also I skipped a questline or an event regarding the American patriotic resistance or something - once I choosed to answer that stupid email it occured to me that this has something to do with drug (or other illegal) trafficking. So once again, in roleplaying purpose, I choosed to ignore this potentially dangerous deal.

And of course I skipped the whole bigdaddyhurt questline as I've never streamed.

Some pieces of plot were rather unexpected, for example one time I clicked to visit the church after I did everything I could with them, and MC suddenly said something like "I've never learned what happened to Goku after all, let's find out".

What made me really sad is the event about coordinates collected from Jun's GPS module. It was obvious that someone has settled a trap, but nothing has occured after MC and company visited that hidden place. My guess is that by avoiding a proper way to play this game, I've never triggered some important plot conditions.

My MC has full mental bar, he is packed with money  with nowhere to spend. And he is in love with Jun. I was curious what exactly, if any, an end will be. But nothing has happened in the day 35, and in the day after that, and after that. So yeah, I broke my game. Pretty much after day 19 nothing interesting has occured. So if you are interested in a "perpetual" game, there is a solution. But I'm going to replay sometime, and see what end awaits our looser character, if you play this game as it should be.

As I mentioned in the Suggestions, I'd really like if the game will consider a different way to play it.

You mean no negative impact in the means of game mechanics? 

I realized that Jun isn't just a robodoll for pleasure, but rather a person. It is implied that for some reason she may be more sophisticated than a sexbot should be. So in my perspective using her in a sex business is the same as pimping. Maybe worse than that given her being vulnerable, unaware of a whole story.

So I'd like to choose whether I want to do this to her, and to see how my decisions have a huge impact on dialogs. I am a grown man and have no sentiments toward fictional girls, but she is a purest thing, more potent than anyone in that dystopian society, so she deserves a good treatment at least.

Greetings. I really tried to find if someone else already proposed exactly what I'm about to.

First of let me tell that comparable to the other adult games, this is The less dusgusting to me. No elderly, no children, no other things, which is great. And I really liked the plot and dialogs, though I haven't reached any of the endings yet.

I don't like the idea of whoring an AI entity just to earn some money. I realized that the game offers you a mechanic to earn huge money easily in the first couple days:

The starting amount of money was enough to play on the stock market. Clearly that even in the world of MDRG a couple mil. of $ will be enough to reach the game end in comfort, and that the MC won't even need to engage in camwhoring in order to progress.

So with that in mind I started anew with the aim to reach a game end without camwhoring, as far as it's possible by game mechanics. As you can see, I have zeros on CockTwitch account:

That was achieved deliberately by ending the first mandatory stream as soon as possible. But still I've received all emails, including the invitation to Cocktracts (they really are impressed by something what I did...). Of course I have to find Ladyparts website since it's crucial to the gameplay, but the contract proposals aren't seem so important. Also I haven't found any differences in dialogs so far. 

I realize that MDRG isn't a (classic-like) RPG game, where usually a game reacts accordingly to what strategy or a playthrough style has been choosed by a player. What I really want is that the game would consider a path such as mine. That a player will have an option whether he wants to start a camwhoring business in the first place, or to try to earn money in some other way. Seems like it works mechanically! The game already has all what necessary. But this path is not considered in the plot.

Also I realize that an implementation of such an idea is a big work and it's rather isn't something that the devs would consider important. But thanks for your attention anyway.

P.S. I haven't tried to reach bigdaddyhurt during stream. It could be impossible without getting followers (and subscribers, as the fact that you making a content for them) and all, but it's a side questline anyway, so I guess I just put it aside for later.
