Thank you very much for this info and the most recent GIF of Orb, Raminita.

Considering previous experiences, I would personally estimate that the release date of the new Part 16 will be one month or six weeks after the publication of the last WIP preview.
PS: I could swear I didn't write that "I somehow feel the old lady in the second screenshot is Marilyn's grandmother." in my last post in this thread before this one, Carl Sagan 42.
This ship was one of the best figures... bring back this ship. There is any other where agree?

No that was not my intention. I was just asking you if she could be Marilyn's grandmother. I couldn't comment it in a proper manner.

Now that you mentioned it. It may be Marilyn's grandmother, and if it is, this is our first visual of the character.

Who knows? Maybe Abi is so disgusted by men and routine contact with her husband, Tom Beeman, that we might see a lesbian scene between her and Marilyn, even if this is just Marilyn's risqué imagination.
Ok. Don't worry. It's just that I was puzzled by that.
It's true that it could be Marilyn's grandmother, but unless it's a (desperate) attempt by MC to get Marilyn to help him again in his plans against John, I personally now lean towards her being a client or neighbor of the establishment where MC will meet the blackmailer Alicia Robinson.

No. My guess on this could lead to one of the following outcomes, based on how Orb has conducted its previews over time:
- Perhaps we've reached the limit of WIP previews that Orb usually publishes before starting to publish official previews. If I recall correctly, the problem with that possibility is that Orb would mention it, and in the last WIP preview, he didn't say anything about it. However, once Orb has decided that there have been enough WIP previews, there is usually a gap of a month or six weeks until the first official screenshot of the new Part is released, at which point it will inform of the initial release date for its patrons and its free release date (which is usually about a month after the first official preview of the new part).
- Perhaps Orb has decided to spread out the release of WIP previews more, so it's possible that he's now publishing them every two weeks. In that case, we would surely see a new WIP preview this Sunday.

I agree with you. Let me tell you something which I observed. Since Orb came back in November 2023, he has always managed to release the next part within six months. Part 12 was released in November 2023, Part 13 in March 2024, Part 14 in July 2024, and Part 15 in January 2025. But now, it’s already been almost eight months, and we still don’t know when Part 16 will come out. I already feel it’s somewhat late, but considering how difficult things have been for Orb, I can totally understand. I remember Raminita mentioning last week that more than 60% of the work is done and that more than 30% still needs to be completed, so I wonder when we’ll get to see Part 16.
If, by any chance, Orb, you’re seeing this, let me tell you that I’m a huge fan of your work. I’ve never played any other AVN, nor would I want to. I honestly feel you’re like the Steven Spielberg of this field. I kindly request you to please release Part 16 soon. We cannot wait more.
I would really appreciate it if anyone who has a direct connection with Orb could deliver this message to him.

From what I remember from recent posts Orb has posted on his Patreon and that have been reposted in this thread by some forum members, Orb had every intention of continuing the release pace you mentioned but, in addition to the RL difficulties he endures, he also had a serious computer problem that erased some of the work he had already done, which justifies this current delay in his recent work pace.
Therefore, I think we must be confident that in a (relatively) short time, he will deliver us a great Part 16 of his amazing AML. After all, he has demonstrated his commitment to his work and his patrons (every time he has been forced to stop development of the game, he has stopped his payment cycles, a true rara avis among devs in this field) and has always tried to put real content into his game (unlike other devs, like the one I call Don Milking).
