It's pretty funny when a game like the DIK, can have better writing, better renders, full animation and also release quicker than this game.
Almost as funny as the wait time between each update getting even slower when he allegedly "upgrades his PC" with the main intention of increasing update speed. Really makes you think, but hey, when he always has at leas one "super cool individual" who defends his every breath for free, why bother changing.

I always said I've supported L&P in the past.
I've also said I like that he showed up to defend himself and reply to posts without being all "I know better than you" like he did previously.
Saying he lacks a plan and has poor work ethic doesn't mean I dislike everything he does. I've always stated his renders are great.
But you guys are funny, this is your logic:
I criticize - "Look at this guy criticizing when he plays for free, you can criticize if you're a patron else shut up"
I show that I'm a patron - "Look at this guy, supporting a game he criticizes. Why do you support when you're so critical?"
Fucking hilarious, must be your smooth brain talking.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves, it's a classic "my son's bully is blackmailing me" story.
Actually the twist he had that it was all Dylan's idea could have been better but he succumbed to everyone's pressure to change it.
I feel the same about incest but I get past it because this is fantasy fiction, nothing more. It's not an endorsement of any particular perversion. Playing AWAM doesn't make us sinners, or rather doesn't make us bigger sinners than we are already. That's how I see it anyway. "Decisions of Life" character cast-list has several 'friends' who were close blood-relatives in AWAM. When Sophia has sex with them in DoL I don't expect incest fans to be thrilled, because the crucial breaking of the taboo hasn't occurred. It will be sex with friends, nothing more. That may be nice in its' way but it's also tame, insignificant & a bit pointless. It deletes the whole essence of the incest routes that run through AWAM. It erases the thrill. Imagine playing a game for 10 years with the climax of having sex with a friend....wow? I don't think so.
When & if the blackmail turns from compulsion to willing participation, or initiative taking by Sophia, it will be the equivalent of recasting family members as friends. That's how big a deal it is. It will not be blackmail & AWAM will have lost any edge that it had from this storyline. If the route continues with Sophia experiencing the odd thrill from what she's being made to do, that will be different & it will definitely be corruption. There are possibilities for knock-on effects in other parts of the story. I have some slim hope that this might be the case.
This is escapism not an example of how we would wish to live our lives.

I agree that the twist should of stayed in but hey it is what it is.
I should of phrased the last part better and said that he has stayed away from a lot of the usual routes that are used in corruption/incest games,sleep sex/sleeping pills just to name a few.
And thank god L&P doesn't have your personality.
This is terrible advice for anyone developing anything.
No one is forcing L&P to do anything, people are suggesting stuff to solve glaring issues (which in some cases even he has found to be true) and he actually has accepted some sugestions in the past as he will accept in the future.
Just from the top of my head, he has changed update frequency, render resolution, Sophia's textures when we complained she looked boney, Dylan's/Aiden's story when people complained about the plot twist, some posing issues with Liam in the casino so yeah, he takes suggestions.
Taking suggestions to your work as a personal attack is only revealing of lack of self esteem and confidence in your own work. I'm yet to see someone completely bashing him (except those trolls from time to time).
Most people here recognize and praise the very good things the VN has but they suggest stuff because it's clear as day that in the current way this is getting developed, it will not be finished if he intends to take the plot until the end, unless you think that he'll get this to 2030+.
In the last post the guy clearly said he doesn't have personal time and you think that he'll take this game development for another decade living like that?
He will need help, its obvious to anyone, even to him, it's a matter of finding or training the right person.

It's a simple explanation (L&P himself wrote it several years ago...). He did it so he wouldn't have to render 2 different scenes for "nerdy Emma" and for "cool Emma" every time there's a scene in Sophia's classroom.Also, is there any explanation for Emma dropping Sophia's class? Has it ever explained why (I mean story development-wise, beside her joining her friends) and if it is functional to the rest of the storyline? I'm curious...

I'm pretty sure it would have to be L&P doing the lighting but yeah, that would be the only way I see for him not to have to distribute his own assets (characters, morphs etc) and get ahead in development every time + time to himself.
Non-related to your post: not all plots need to end with MC gargling on someone else.
For instance the prison one could end just right there, she went there, did her job, debt erased, done. Same for janitor, postman, and every other non main plot. It can all be stuff that means she's taking steps in the "right" away.

Yes.
I don't see any way that L&P opens his game up to a team- of all the suggestions that's the one he has been most vocally against. To make it work I think there would be too many moving pieces, he'd have to raise revenue to compensate for paying someone, he would need to train that person over the course of months, and he'd need to do that while continuing the normal workload before the new person was ready to go. There's probably a lot more that I'm not mentioning, but those three are big ones.
But all of that won't matter unless L&P gets a plan and sticks with it. A team that increases capacity is great, but under the current structure I'm afraid that it would only result in bigger updates- not faster updates. I can see L&P saying, "Before I could do 600 renders in 120 days, but now I can do 600 renders in 90 days. Why not push it to 800 renders in 120 days?"
Until L&P commits to a plan and accepts that compromises are necessary, game development will continue to drag.

Yeah man i feel your pain. I love AWAM too but many people here just can't accept any form of crticism against the game or dev. They have turned into a cult.

He said his goal is to release an update every 2 months. That was back in December, when he posted his latest update. Now we are reaching April...
