This is the schedule for the next playable days, in yellow the release currently in production.
Comments in dark grayish orange still need more confirmation.
Quotes from L&P statements are usually in italics.
If you are looking for the complete schedule of the past events, with all sort of statistics about the number of renders, development time etc, you can check quency77 post here.

He said that at the end of PD 13 he will put the game on Steam with a professional trailer (source 1, source 2), to build a team and hire a storywriter.
(Q) How long will be the break from the release of this update v0.195 to the start of the first update of PD14? (A) I don't know. I will try to make it as short as possible. (source)
**At the moment** it does not seem to be the case anymore, it **seems** he is starting v0.200 as usual (see v0.200 notes).

PD 14 - Day 21 - Saturday

This is the provisional schedule he gave in summer 2022. There are some events like the 2 side jobs that are likely to be removed to speed up the development (see notes). We still don't know the definitive schedule.

Instead of the Steam project, he worked on the remastering of part 1 (v0.152) and on a new and updated version of Sophia:

* it will be very short and will be just about practicing. (source1, source2)
* Sophia will rather cool things down with Sam because it's a dangerous game and she doesn't want ti ruin her marriage with that. (source)
* (Q) Will the event with Sam also involve some hot scenes (kissing, fondling, groping, etc.) or will it just be something formal and strictly educational (continuation of cello lessons for Sophia)? (A) it will just a "between event". Nothing really special. Just a little sexy scene in the course of their story. (source)
* (Q1) will the player be asked to make choices? (A1) Yes
(Q2) can we also expect some "wild thoughts" from Sophia toward Sam? (like the ones she has already had toward Larry or Dylan toward her). (A2) Kinda (source)

[General info about the event]
* this event belongs to the path in which Ellie is still with Logan
* (Q) Will the more "hardcore" parts of the event (and any related animations) all take place in the sauna? (A) Yes. Well not directly in the sauna though. But still at the spa (
source)
* The lesbian scene in this release (and the next, it will be the same) counts as the "first lesbian sex scene within the next 3 PD" previously announced (
source)

[Technical info of the release]
Animations: something planned but it does not depend just on me (source), 3 animations (source, source) that will be re-used in the next release (source)
Number of renders: estimated 330-350 (
source), officially 346 (source)
Pages of script: 17 (source)

v0.201Sophia/Ellie
(lesbian path)
Teaser 1
Teaser 2
[Technical info of the release]
Animations: no new animations, the animations from v0.200 will be reused in this one (source)
Number of renders: more or less the same as the spa event in v0.200 (source)
Pages of script:TBA
Mini games: TBA (probably not)
Release period: TBA


[General info about the event]
* The lesbian scene in this release is the same as the previous release v0.200 (with a different build up) and it counts as the "first lesbian sex scene within the next 3 PD" previously announced (source)
* it won't be a shower event (
source)
* this event belongs to the path in which Ellie broke up with Logan and it should be a pure lesbian event
* This will be another version where Ellie broke up with Logan. But both versions will have similar outcome (
source).
* (Q) You said that after this update, the update will come only with Sophia and Ellie with the same outcome. Does that mean Sophia and Ellie will visit the sauna without Tyler and Logan? (A) Probably yes. Because I don't want to create the final again which will have easily around 100 renders if not even more plus animations at some different place. Would just take too much time unnecessarily. So only the beginning will be different without Logan and Tyler. (
source)
* The next update will be just a half edited version where Ellie broke up with Logan. The beginning will be different but I wanna mix it with the same outcome like with the current update. (
source)
* (Q) which one will be the longer one? (A) Difficult to say now but very likely they will be approx. very similar as for length. Beginning and end will be the same. (source)
* (Q) Do you think any of the animations produced for the version in which Ellie forgives Logan can be, in some way, "re-proposed" for the one in which she broke up with him as well? (A) Yes (
source)
* This update is really only about the middle part in the sauna, this time without the boys. This middle part will probably be as long as the one with the boys. The ending will be exactly the same, just with slightly different dialogs, of course. (
source)
[Information coming with the teasers]
  1. Off to the spa, just the two of us!
    After Ellie broke up with Logan, the women head off to spend some time together at the spa.

source) [we don't know in which event]

source)

source), probably only one-time event (source) with likely no repercussions on the story (source),

source)
* (Q) In the museum scene, will Sophia have the chance to find herself alone with one of the two boys or will the actions always take place with the 4 of them together? (A) I don't wanna spoil anything about that scene now (source)


(‡) little preview from the fan art thread ;)

The following are instead pieces of information we know about the future days, either from what it is said in the game or from various intel given by L&P.
Again, the comments in this colour are unconfirmed information or educated guesses from what is said in the story but needing a confirmation

Note 1: "within the next X days" is to be counted from PD 12 when he gave the info.
Note 2: the sex scenes apparently are not exclusively about Sophia but they are about Sophia, Dylan and Ellie. ( source 1, source 2)

Note 3: according to an old post (Jan 2020), there will be at least 1 Dylan event each day except for days 22, 23, 28, 30, 31, 33 and 35. But things could have changed. So, grain of salt.

Note 4: Side jobs are recurring events but atm it is not explicitly specified if they occur on regular schedules. We know that the first side job is shorter than the 2nd and will end earlier but there will be still the option to return to them later (source).
  • Nursing job
    • Sophia is temporary replacing "for the next two to three weeks" Nurse Susan who is ill and she has to take care of Mr. Herman and Mr. Gibbs. They are both in "for the next two weeks for some routine health checks". This **could** mean that the story with them is over on Saturday PD 22.
    • Assuming she is working on a regular schedule and based on the first week events, the working days would be Monday, Thursday and Saturday. But nothing is said in the story and no intel is given on the topic.
  • Tutoring job
    • Sophia is teaching Ava's kids while she is reviewing two Master thesis "for 2-3 weeks" (as written in the ad)
    • So far, since the first interview we have 1 event per day, Sunday excluded. Since it's basically a home schooling job it is possible that there are events every day of the week but Sundays. But this is not confirmed. From v0.170 we know that Saturday was not scheduled, for this week it's an extra.
Note 5: Nathalie is supposed to come twice a week for 3 hours but the days has to vary because of her college schedule. So it is not possible atm to know when the next events will be. The best intel so far places her next appearance on PD19 (source)


PD 15 - Day 22 - Sunday
[1st lesbian sex scene with an important character: Within the next 3 playable days] --> ✅ Sophia/Ellie at the spa PD14 (with or without Logan) (source)
Official schedule

Day timeReleaseEventTeasersNotes
Morning
Sam (short)Probably another short cello lesson before leaving for the ranch
Trip to the countryside
(Sophia/Patricia/Zoey)
[Preliminary info]
Patricia and Sophia visit her friend Zoey's ranch.
* This event will take place in any case [meaning Boarding school or not, Ed.*]. Either Patricia tells Sophia about it on Day 18 after yoga or she will call her on Saturday. What will happen there depends on Sophia's lesbian points and her relationship to Patricia. (source)
* Note that in the boarding school route Sophia didn't get the invitation from Patricia because they could not stop at Zac's and have a chat while Dylan visited him. In that case, she will got the call on Saturday. The ranch event cannot happen on Alyssa's route (alternative to the yoga event) as Sophia cannot get the 2 Patricia points awarded in the yoga event and get to the required 14 points.
* It will be "one large event which spreads over the morning until the evening" (source) and it will cover 3/4 of the day (source)
* Patricia can horse-ride a bit better than Sophia (source)
* Not clear whether Zoey is lesbian (source)
* (Q): There will be hetero events at the Zoey's ranch on playable day 15? (A): Well... yes and no. It will be a very special and unique event in many ways. That much I can tell. (source)
* (Q) some of them (Ellie or Dylan) will go with Sophia and Patricia to the country (and so Liam will be freer to plan his weekend)? (A) No, it will be just Sophia Patricia and Patricia's friend Zoey. (source)

Liam (GW Path)
(alternative to the Trip)
[Preliminary info]
from v0.185 we know that the romantic dinner between Sophia and Liam is re-scheduled for Sunday evening.
* (Q) Tomorrow (Sunday) will Liam go, as he did last week, to fish all day or (in Sophia's absence) will he stay home and look after his lodgers? (A) Can't say what he will do this day. What matters is just that Sophia and Patricia will have their trip into the countryside. Then if you decide for it, she will go out with him in the evening after the trip. (source)

PD 16 - Day 23 - Monday
[1st big hetero sex scene with an important character: Within the next 4 playable days]
[2nd big hetero sex scene with an important character: Within the next 4 playable days]
[2nd lesbian sex scene with an important character: Within the next 4 playable days] - it will be more intense than [the previous one] (source).
  • there are "several Ellie's events spread out over the day" (aka Ellie's day) and the return of the sauna guys Tyler and Logan
    • "Dylan/Ellie storyline will highly likely already have its culmination on playable day 16 " (source) and it is independent from Sophia's decisions beside the bathroom accident on PD 4 (source)
      • not clear if this means there will be an event (see no Dylan's events below) or the story will be already over. In the latter case their event/sex scene *could* be before PD16, atm PD13 is the only one having an event.
      • Recently (Nov 2023) L&P said during an exchange that there is something planned after PD16 for Dylan/Ellie Storyline (source)
      • (Q) Should we expect this bonus line to continue to the end of the game? i.e. go till PD30 (A) Well since Dylan and Ellie will be still alive until day 30 it surely will be picked up again. (source)
    • Ellie route would split into 3 routes and would involve Logan/Sophia and Ellie (source, source form L&P, spoiler #2)
    • Logan will become Ellie’s new boyfriend but Sophia will have the chance to change her mind at playable day 16 (source form L&P, spoiler #2)
    • From v0.200 we know that the prom night is on Monday evening and Ellie has to find the dress.
  • She usually does not teach on Mondays, but after what happened in v0.161 she will meet Aiden and they are going to have a "have a 'private chat' on Monday at school" . but in v0.170 she has been called in by Principal Johnson as substitute teacher on Monday (as it was anticipated ). Then the 5th task will be revealed right before class (source).
  • "Something definitely really "wild" what is not with the husband [...] and it will be something no one will definitely expect at the moment!" as per L&P quote. Also "... there will be a very hot and big hetero scene.'" (source)
  • no Dylan's events (see note 3)
    • this could be in contrast with the end of Dylan/Ellie (see above) in case there is an event
  • if the schedule is regular (Mon, Thu, Sat), nursing job.
  • Sam event (source)
    • This may be in conflict with (source) in which it is said that the "next real event will be just on Tuesday". So this one if confirmed **could be** another short cello lesson as in PD 14, but it's just speculation.

PD 17 - Day 24 - Tuesday
[3rd big lesbian sex(ual) scene with an important character: Within the next 5 playable days]
  • 2 Ellie's events
  • She is teaching on Tuesdays and probably there will be the first sport lesson if the school gym is ready (after the "usual" Literature class)
  • Alyssa will be back and they are likely to meet at soccer practice ("I think Tuesday next week when our boys have soccer practice will be the earliest we can see each other again.")
    • And their next events will be very special (source).
    • Remember that Alyssa path's won't end if Sophia asks Morello's help, it does only if Zac and Dylan are sent to the boarding school (source)
  • From v0.175 we know Sophia's parents will be visiting.
    • They will stay only one day (source) and they only appear in this PD (source)
    • Sophia's maiden name is Ferdinand (source)
  • Sam event (source), probably related to Sophia's parents visit and the cello "concert" (source).
    • (Q) You said that Sam will be among the last characters to fuck Sophia, but can we hope that after the performance with the cello, Sophia's thanks to Sam will be the leap in quality in their relationship? (A) YES (source)
    • (Q) When Sophia thanks Sam, will she be at Sam's house? (A) NO (source)
  • Marie will be back (source)

PD 18 - Day 25 - Wednesday
  • Biology class, likely another Aiden's task
  • The 1st chance to get rid of Bennett (source)
    • One of the way to get rid of him is Morello if the conditions are met (same as for Aiden) (source), another one could be with the help of Mrs. Torres and the school board but at the moment it is not clear which one will be this day.
    • Not clear at the moment how asking Morello's help works for Bennet, it should be mutually exclusive with Aiden (cannot use it on both).
  • 2nd optional solution for Aiden (less comfortable than Morello). Even this one will require certain choices made before (source)
    • there have been some discrepancies about when this should happen, at some point L&P placed it on PD 17 (source) but then more recently he placed it "in around 5 game days" [from PD 13] (source)
  • not clear if there will be Sam event (source)

PD 19 - Day 26 - Thursday
[4th lesbian sex scene with an important character: Within the next 7 playable days]
  • 2 Ellie's events
  • An old L&P post that has been removed suggested that "Sophia’s first possible sex scene on a special filthy route will happen on playable day 19" (source, see spoiler #5 in the quoted message)
  • Probably the next appearance of Nathalie since PD 12 (source)
  • if the schedule is regular (Mon, Thu, Sat), nursing job.
  • not clear if there will be Sam event (source)

PD 20 - Day 27 - Friday
  • Literature class, likely another Aiden's task
  • Sam event (source)

PD 21 - Day 28 - Saturday
  • 3 Ellie's events
  • no Dylan's events (see note 3)
  • if the schedule is regular (Mon, Thu, Sat), nursing job.

PD 22 - Day 29 - Sunday


PD 23 - Day 30 - Monday
  • no Dylan's events (see note 3)

PD 24 - Day 31 - Tuesday
  • Literature and Sport class
  • Deadline for Mr. Bennett's proposal (2 weeks deadline since the dinner on Tuesday PD 10)
    • Remember that "the teacher's role was mainly included for a very special fetish scene at the end of the game!" as per L&P post
  • no Dylan's events (see note 3)

PD 25... PD 30
No significant info available at the moment

Other information
What follows is a compilation of other, more general information, grouped by character and topic, that does not fit into any particular day. Again, this comes with the caveat that they may refer to old posts and therefore may no longer be relevant, they may come from mail exchanges between L&P and users without proof, and so on. So take everything with the proverbial grain of salt, the information is collected here with its reference so that people can form their opinion.

Sorry, but I think you are mistaken. This is imaginary city placed in imaginary country. It looks like California, but nowhere is mentioned that it is in California. "Soccer" is a word used in several countries, not only in USA.

I agree that there are a lot of references that points to USA but this was probably done for marketing purposes (people love Hollywood movies). Even assets, houses, windows, bar, school busses .... all looks like America, but it is pain in the ass to find assets that looks like German village o_O.

I see no reason why L&P should avoid using real cities and states, but the fact is that he did. So, you are free to believe that this is USA, but you can't assume that the rules that apply in USA apply in this game. This is imaginary world reminiscent of USA, sometimes because L&P want that, and sometimes because he had no choice (except for some German cars at the beginning ;))
Why not ask L&P? I won't because I already know the answer & he is unlikely to respond to a long-term pirate. Yes, the references in AWAM point to the USA for marketing purposes, because that's where the biggest market for this kind of stuff exists. This story could have been set in Europe but it clearly isn't, so an imaginary place is optional but then it becomes possible to make society up as you go along & I don't think that's the Dev's intention.

"Soccer" is a word used by 5% of the world to indicate what the rest of the world knows as "football". There are countries where both words can be used interchangeably but in the US only "soccer" is used because of the existence of (American) football, referred to in its' nation of origin as "football" but virtually everywhere else as "American Football". [Soccer, a word from England derived from As{SOC}iation Football, distinguishing it from Rugby football, {itself divided in 2}, both of which are closer in practice to American Football....I'll stop there & leave Gaelic, Australian etc., for another time].

On the other hand, there's nothing wrong with fans accepting the place & time in which San Alejo exists as an imaginary country, if that's what suits them.

in my experience a render becomes realistic if you make it with a reference picture side by side. i think thats what l&p also does, getting references from various erotic movies and etc. thus his renders are also very good.

Despite the lack of explicit references, it is very easy and intuitive to set this game in the United States. The architecture, the cars, the shape and the road signs. Even the fact that in the classrooms are the students who move from one to the other classroom at the change of teacher, in addition to the presence of lockers in the corridors, suggest the United States (In Italy, for example, it is the opposite: there are no lockers and are the teachers who move from classroom to classroom while students are always together in the same classroom). Another clue about United States set is the phenomenon of "soccer moms". Outside the United States, football (soccer for Americans) is a boy's game. It is not mothers who accompany their children to training and matches but fathers. Another clue is the American breakfast (in Italy and France but also in other countries breakfast is sweet. You don't eat bacon and eggs and you don't use cutlery). Another clue is the absence of family lunches. It is known that in the United States it is rare for family members to have lunch or dinner all together but, for example in Italy, it is the norm and not attending the common meal is an event that needs to be justified because otherwise it is unkind. .

Good observations, thank you. Proving once again AWAM is most likely USA based but universally enjoyed, despite our social protocols.

Actually, the explicit references to the fact that the story is set in the United States are there and they are multiple:
American is the currency in circulation in San Alejo: Sophia pays for her new clothes in dollars.
American is the system of units of measurement: the speed of the new car in which Carl picks up the Parkers from the airport is expressed in miles per hour.
American is the school grading system: Dylan gets an F for his first history class assignment.
American is the way students are divided according to educational stages: Dylan by age should be in the 11th grade, but having failed one class, he remained in the 10th grade.
For all these reasons, and others (such as the fact that the Parkers moved from the East Coast to the West Coast), I think it can be said with a good degree of certainty that AWAM is set in a mega-city on the West Coast of the United States, like San Jose, California.

Contemporary VN made with DAZ are almost all set in US or an US-like imaginary country, due to the available assets in DAZ (and due to the US soft power even though a lot of dev are european)

I have not problem to put this game in California so it would be much clearer and easier to decide what is real and what is not. Problem is that you assume that this game must be placed in some real world country. Why? Also, problem is that you assume that all assets is here by intendent, but if you try to put your game in, for example, Budapest there is a good chance that you will get stuck due to lack of assets. It is wise to use most popular assets to avoid that kind of problems. It's expensive in money and time. And to be clear, there is lot of countries in Europe where students move from one to the other classroom. Also, there is football (soccer) field, near my house. There is lots of fathers with their kids, but also lots of mothers. But none of this is relevant for this discussion. The whole point is, is it ok to put statement "If something is not allowed to happen in USA than it is not allowed to happen in this game"

However, I just asked L&P is this strictly real USA so we could compare, for example, rape rate, clothes codex for teachers, etc ....
I really hope he answers me ..... during my life :)

Actually, the explicit references to the fact that the story is set in the United States are there and they are multiple:
American is the currency in circulation in San Alejo: Sophia pays for her new clothes in dollars.
American is the system of units of measurement: the speed of the new car in which Carl picks up the Parkers from the airport is expressed in miles per hour.
American is the school grading system: Dylan gets an F for his first history class assignment.
American is the way students are divided according to educational stages: Dylan by age should be in the 11th grade, but having failed one class, he remained in the 10th grade.
For all these reasons, and others (such as the fact that the Parkers moved from the East Coast to the West Coast), I think it can be said with a good degree of certainty that AWAM is set in a mega-city on the West Coast of the United States, like San Jose, California.
And again, all these assumption are based on fact that game must be placed in some real world country. But is it? Or this is maybe some fictional independent California.
