Well, the thing is that fucking any of the characters isn't at all essential, so i think that not forcing on the player sexual content with character that can be a complete turn off for them is one thing the game does right. It's also basically the only kind of choice this game offers (since all your "choices" basically boil down to "continue with this route or shut it permanently down") so if you do away with these, what you get on your hands is just a kinetic novel.


If i get it right, what you're advocating is effectively to force content on the player regardless of their actual choices and preferences (including choices which would try to prevent it) because you think this is "essential content". If this is the case, then i couldn't possibly disagree more with this notion. I don't want illusion of choice from the game. Either have actual choices that make difference or don't bullshit me with a pretense that there was one in the first place.
What I'm saying is that it's a stupid idea to include player decisions whose sole purpose is to deliberately omit content. Keep in mind, every path must be rendered. It's important that as much content as possible reaches the player and not the opposite. For this, it makes the most sense to give the player the illusion of a decision that ultimately does not change the main storyline. Or even better, present the player with challenges to retain the content. Simply allowing players to opt out of main story elements is a terrible sign for a story because a good game should be designed so that players want to see the content.

Anyway, If a character is not important for the story, e.g. because it is just an unnecessary side story, you can simply leave it out of the game in general. Here I have a long list of events that could be removed without changing the core of AWAM. What should absolutely not be omitted is everything related to Sophia in her role as "A Wife and Mother.". That is the main storyline. Whoever disagrees with this should simply look for another game. Keep in mind, It is the title of the game.

I understand, and i actually understand to some level the desire to be able to see as much content the game has to offer as possible. But only the content i am personally interested in. I don't want to be forced to view the content i find boring or worse, disgusting. Giving me choice in this matter, to deliberately omit content, is absolutely not something i'd consider stupid, and i'd sooner skip the game which tries to force on me something i don't want, than play it and put up with that shit.

It doesn't matter to me that it all had to be rendered. That's the author's effort, and if they spent their time to include it that's fine, but it doesn't oblige me to viewing it if that's not my thing.

No, it's not a sign of good or bad game in any way, because people have wildly different tastes and their preferences can be about wildly different things. The more of different content you put in your game, the bigger chance some of it won't be up the alley of some of your players, while some other parts of it will catch their attention.

Just consider how divided people are in this thread even about characters like Ellie. Now have fun trying to determine if she should be mandatory content or one that gets the axe. You'd piss off people with either of these options.

We'll simply have to agree to disagree here.

You're both talking about different things, I think. You're talking about sexual content, XaGnard is talking about the overall story content.

I more align with the story content side of things. One of, if not the main reason, this game has gone off the rails is because LP has tried to make multiple story paths for just about everything, even involving seemingly unrelated choices in key checkpoints in the script. Which has actually soft-locked (or hard-locked) sexual content as well.

Just in this upcoming update you have the Sophia/Dylan path, but not if Dylan went to the slumber party with Ellie. But that party seemingly opened up a Dylan/Ellie path. And supposedly there's meant to, eventually, be a Sophia/Ellie/Dylan path which has to fit in somehow, despite the key choice (the party or no party) seemingly making this impossible.

People don't like Ellie for the same reason other people dislike Dylan. They both represent things their respective sides dislike. Ellie = Lesbian content. Dylan = "2nd MC". Both of which is yet another example of LP offering too many choices, and letting the story get out of hand.

A difficult reunion...or not
Depending on whether or not Dylan was at Christine's birthday party yesterday has an interesting impact on the scene at the table. Ellie won't stay long, though, but gets ready straight afterwards because Christine picks her up and they're going to do something - after all, it's the weekend. Sophia and Ellie have a little bit more relaxed reunion after the special morning at the spa. After all, they had already spent a pleasant morning in the café after the events.

Dylan gave the can to Ellie, and shook it first.
What's going to happen when she tries to open it ? :sneaky:
There are three spectators in the front row :cool:

Given the nature of the game these are pretty much the same thing -- the game's story and character development is mostly focused on characters' sexuality and sexual interactions with one another. Everything that happens in the story is little more but a device for that.

Interim information update 0.225
Hey guys,

last week I was unfortunately unable to work for a few days due to a very important event in my life. Some people already know about this via my Discord. But since the weekend I'm working full time on the update again.
Short status of the current update: Over 270 renders have been created. The update contains over 40 pages of (story) script. It is planned with about 500 renders at the end, as of now.
I'm currently at the end of the second of 5 scenes of the update and should start with the third scene, which is the smallest of all, in the next few days.
The animations are planned for the final fifth scene, so the percentage here won't change much until then. One high quality animation is planned for my helper, who will start very soon, and the other smaller ones I will do myself as soon as I get to the scene.

There will be a few more teasers for the current scene, as well as for the third and fourth. As always, the most specific teasers will be published on my LV+ Discord channel. The fifth scene will remain top secret to keep some suspense for the upcoming scene after the many teasers and almost completely spoiled last updates.
I've got nothing wrong with the guy getting married BUT, I don't remember any prior mention of him getting married. Has anyone else seen it? If he mentioned it, it would give fans a heads up that things would be delayed. At least this excuse seems a bit more legitimate. Dropping this all of a sudden seems like another excuse to me. He may be telling the truth but, after all of the previous excuses, you Have to look at this with a side eye.

btw, an idea rather a theory, Ellie could sit at the table, Dylan too, and Sophia would be the only one standing.
All eyes would be on her body.
Ellie and Dylan would then notice the mutual attraction they have for Sophia.
Ellie could then kick her brother under the table.
She leaves while wanting to confront his brother the next day, and the main event will begin with Sophia and Dylan.
I will cringe to death if there is a repeat handsie situation under the table again with Dylan...
