Could that have something to do with the fact that they're young & still at a stage of their lives where they think they're going to live forever? Bear in mind that the Dev put the issue to supporters of whether event based updates were the way to go & result in one per month. I'm guessing the answer was yes because we now have event-based updates but they take more than double the forecast time. They've turned out to be the most horrible way to tell ANY story.

Aladdin, "Oh genie of the lamp, my first wish is to marry the Princess. Genie, "I hear & obey but just give me 5 years. I'll get right back to you. I've got 1,001 things to sort out first." ['Take your time.' Take longer if you need to.']

Many people here on this thread will, (hopefully) be alive in 2055 or whenever. I doubt that many of them will still be wondering if the 'period drama' set in 2017, with the funny clothes & retro technology, has resulted in Dylan fucking his mother yet, especially with the teenage kids of their own giving them enough headaches. Maybe the internet as we know it won't even exist & they'll be watching holographic Sophia & family at the press of a button?

There's many ways this could be sorted & many have been suggested. There's only one fool-proof method to initiate positive change & that's a mass Patron desertion, which as we can see, won't happen. In the meantime the same views will continue to be expressed.
I hope the author will consider the speed of the game. Many people are intrigued, but they may not live to the end. Like this global epidemic, the author seems to be doing more than one job at present

We don't know what other job he may or may not have. He promised that when he reached a given target, that he set himself, he would leave the further education course he was on to devote himself to this full-time & hire a team. When the target was reached & exceeded, he simply increased it & I believe may have done so again. Moving the goalposts is easier than recruiting & managing a team. Teamwork is not how he wishes to proceed.

Rest assured he's aware of the pacing issue. He's an intelligent man. AWAM is literally his pension plan, or part of it. He's said as much himself. He will always consider what can be done to alter the pace & has several times undertaken measures to speed up, each of which has resulted in slowing things down. There's been mention of a another move to quicken things up in 1 to 2 years, so, if past practice is anything to go by, we can look forward to even slower development.

Whatever happens there will always be supporters who would praise him & tell him what a marvellous job he's doing, even if there was one event per annum, which is a situation that's not impossible to imagine. His plan & way of working contain no incentive to go faster. He knows that he could make a lot more money with a modicum of extra effort but why bother, as money isn't everything. This has been going on for years & fans can either like it, or not. What he's doing is so obvious that I almost admire him. No other developer could get away with it in quite the same unique style.

I long ago stopped believing the Dev, or the idea that I'd ever see the end of AWAM. I stick around for the renders & out of curiousity.

i imagine sometime around 2035 Sophia parker will turn to monica buckfett she will be kicked out from the house, become unemployed and dick starved nympho
she sell her body to something she can eat
That presupposes that AWAM as it exists now is sustainable until 2035. (Coincidentally the same year that Nathalie is due to appear again judging by the current pace). L&P appears to the outside world to be working on the basis that this can all carry on in the same old style until c2055-60, which must suit his situation for now, or he has other plans. It's impossible to predict the future but by 2035 the current crop of people willing to pay & the never-ending stream of sycophants may well have moved on &/or dried up. Patreon itself may have changed out of recognition. What is certain is that the technology used for games will be different. IMO L&P would have been better off making a game that could be finished this decade & then developing a spin-off or two. Having created the alternative reality of a bustling city & popular characters, the possibilities could be endless.

If I am not wrong Dylan is the only other character other than Sophie who's PoV we have seen? Honestly that will make him our second MC. This has been some slow ride for our Main Male Character to get any action. Where it's with Sophie,Marie,Christine,Ellie ,I just want him to get on some action. Didn't played to Dylan boarding school route so no Amber for me yet.
