Actually, I think we have 3 of them, 2 main LIs and 1 side.I do like the fact though they took one girl from that game and made her partially into two here, both of which I really like but are not my main LI.

About BaDIK, the minigames are avoidable, you just choose before starting the game, and of course BaDIK is totally a parody, it has nothing of a real college setting, the DIKs are quite stupid and the HOTs too. It's a college where the average QI is under 60 i guess!Yeah I gave up on that game as it reminded me of why I didn't want to go away to college. Too much drama and way more than enough to rival the daytime soaps line-up. AOA is much more relaxed and enjoyable; no stupid mini-games, tests, mansion rebuilds, etc. The LI routes seem easy (for now) and it looks like we're going to have a nasty time of it in Chapter 3 most likely surrounding Valery (or Jade?)

Which is one of those things i've never understood about the adult VN community.Slow burn AVNs live and die by the strength of their characters and how invested you can become in their stories. Summer's Gone has no sexual content yet, but is beloved despite that and has slightly more updates than A.O.A. If the LI stories grow stale, formulaic, or otherwise don't hold much emotional weight in A.O.A. while retaining a slow burn, then interest will probably begin to wane. I'm optimistic that with good writing this won't be a problem.
The main problem of those games/stories it's that many dev just see an occasion to make some money. When you see that some guys can get more than 20 000 a month you understand why.Which is one of those things i've never understood about the adult VN community.
There are a handful of good writers in the amateur AVN space but...
If a lengthy interesting plot with unpredictable twists, great characterization, and a large body of content is what you're looking for why are you trying to find it in a space filled with amateur writers, the same (or lightly edited) oversexualized Daz3D models, and predictable (or straight up nonsensical) plots?
There are myriad forms of media by professional creators that will give you everything you're looking for to a higher degree of quality minus the adult content, or lack thereof in the case of some VNs.
This is the rift i've noticed personally lurking this forum. The split between guys that... for some reason refuse to just read/watch a good book/movie series vs. the people who only see VNs as niche variety porn. The two camps seem to disagree across this forum daily on the direction of most VNs.
Yes i'm also worried about that party, i just hope we will not get some drama shit and Adam behaving like the big bad guy with a twisted mind as in a bad Z rated movie!!Mini-game BS aside, I only played the game for one LI and after through hoop after hoop for 7 chapters and what I think is a very bad story, I had enough. I knew certain stories were going to intertwine in a way and I don't want that drama. With this game I get my main LI quickly and I hope to the VN Gods that no bullshit with Adam comes in-between me and her.
To me, that party is the biggest thing bothering me with this game and Adam's involvement with the MC's life. Chapter 3 is going to make or break whether or not I continue with this game.
Adam's going to fuck over Jenny, which means the MC will probably have to be involved in helping her, keeping his attention away from whoever he wants, in my case, Ashley. I think, in that way, he'll fuck with the MC as well as Jenny, and possibly go after whoever the MC is involved with..? Speculation it is but it seems plausible.Yes i'm also worried about that party, i just hope we will not get some drama shit and Adam behaving like the big bad guy with a twisted mind as in a bad Z rated movie!!
I guess the party will be the starting point of some drama, where you and Jenny will get fucked good, but you will search a way to stop Adam and i guess it will be the other guy with the sick daughter who also is involved in the familly business who will help.Adam's going to fuck over Jenny, which means the MC will probably have to be involved in helping her, keeping his attention away from whoever he wants, in my case, Ashley.

Yup the party is one big clusterfuck by Adam and hopefully it won't take that long for him to get his comeuppance.I guess the party will be the starting point of some drama, where you and Jenny will get fucked good, but you will search a way to stop Adam and i guess it will be the other guy with the sick daughter who also is involved in the familly business who will help.
I think many of us hope to find those "diamonds in the rough," and encourage their development. There is something of value in supporting the "homegrown amateur" developer. For many, I think it is also the interaction, either here or on the developer's own forums, where we can get a glimpse of the creative process.Which is one of those things i've never understood about the adult VN community.

lol Well, I enjoy a good story and characters with depth and complexities, so it doesn't really matter who the creators are in terms of their actual profession (whether they are professional or amateur writers). I mean, why would that even really matter as long as I am entertained by a good story and compelling characters?Which is one of those things i've never understood about the adult VN community.

Following along what you guys have been saying, I do hope as well that the party will be interesting enough to keep people engaged in the story.Yup the party is one big clusterfuck by Adam and hopefully it won't take that long for him to get his comeuppance.
Alright, Ashley is sad and alone. Instant anxiety. I wonder if this is during the party or something? Anyone want to speculate?New Instagram Post: "Missing You..."

hmmmAlright, Ashley is sad and alone. Instant anxiety. I wonder if this is during the party or something? Anyone want to speculate?
Yeah it could be that simple. but I've learned nothing with these games is really simple.hmmm
riding the bus and just thinking?
Or else she has to go away for a while ...Alright, Ashley is sad and alone. Instant anxiety. I wonder if this is during the party or something? Anyone want to speculate?
If it is a thing that she has to go somewhere for something, my MC is going to live like a monk because I'm not having him touch any other girl. In storyline, they had missed opportunities back in Old Town, and I'm not going to have him miss them again that's for damn sure.Or else she has to go away for a while ...
I think it went very quickly between the MC and her. Even though they're supposed to take it easy, they're together, and it's a serious relationship (it's not a one-night stand).
It's weird compared to the game and the story. It feels like there will be the Ashley part with some romance, and a classic student life. On the other side, there will be the part Jenny and her proteges, with the drama, the problems of the girls.
Knowing that we can also choose Jenny or the girls as LI (more or less, rather say that for the moment we can not choose Ashley).
I have the impression that in the game we have on one side Ashley and her friends, and on the other Jenny and her proteges. Ashley side for now it's just romance with or two others. While Jenny's side, we have the interesting story arcs, and the potential romances. I don't know how the dev is going to balance or mix this up.
What complicates things is that we saw in the first two chapters that if you spend time with a girl, you miss things with the others.
(That's why I imagine Ashley going away for a week or two)
