Sometimes I think how easy it is to be totally misunderstood, but considering your tone I think you are this passive-aggressive because deep down you know I am right on this.
I had a laugh, that you seem to think I am jealous of L&P. It does not impact me one bit if he makes 1€ or thousands. If he makes alot of money good for him. My beef is with the anormal development time, no matter that he is alone (interesting thing that he names himself something that implies more people than just one) and makes high quality renders.
As for art quality, you are sadly mistaken if you think that the pics from e.g. Summer pockets are so much faster to do and of lesser quality. Esp. since some of the VNs I mentioned are older ones like Little Busters, and that is still great. Here are some example pics. Anybody saying these have lesser quality than AWAM is willfully unfair!
As New York Herald had stated over 150 years ago about misspelling Old Abe's name "A man knows his name". Believe it or not, I know myself better than anyone else, so your 1st phrase is irrelevant. Yours and others thoughts concerning artificial prolongation of the development process aka milking just don't worth a damn.
I write my responses in the way to provoke and tease folks, make them smile time to time and think, above all. Glad at least I've managed to hit one of those marks. Why do you even care how much time he wastes on his game, your life depends on it or smth?
The images you provided supposed to be some kind of the counter towards AWAM's renders? Confession: I don't feel inside like a 10-year girl and those pictures, alas, only baffling me. Probably coz anime related media is outside my sphere of interest. You should've shown screenshots from the games in your signatures so we would've both laughed, comparing them with the game of this thread.
Some diagrams to show that the game has become more complex (for day #19 this is an estimate related to the trend)

A lot of people thought that since a few versions it was not going faster. It's the opposite, in fact, the story is much more complex since the day #16
Don't shatter the worldview of the "milkers gang". They still firmly believe the Earth is flat and stands on the 3 turtles or elephants, go figure.
Greed, greed, greed ! At least there are dozens of other quality games :]
And I strongly disagreed, diasgreed, diasgreed.
All of those games use teasing, blackmail, and corruption and all of those games are also porn games. AWAM has better renders than all of those games but after 3 years of development its hardly had much porn at all. The whole project reminds me of the game Cyberpunk 2077...broken promises and missed deadlines because its too massive.
DMD is also a large game but its not too big where goals and updates cant be met...and theres a realistic conclusion/finish line.
AWAM is 3 years in the making and is literally 15% complete...yikes.
Where do I even begin? CDPR from the ground up lied straight to our faces. Due to mismanagement, unrealistic expectations and hopes that consumers would happilly engulf this half-baked product they dared to release it and the rest is history now.
But it's about AWAM. L&P is a jack-of-all-trades, who's standards towards himself are pretty damn high, so it's quite problematic to delegate a portion of responsobilties to a total stranger/strangers, let alone sharing with god knows who the assets. Trust issues but greed? Shut the front door.
Who said that it's a porn game in the first place? Where did you get this notion from? What DMD has to do with AWAM, would you like as well to juxtapose images from the both games? Pls, be my guest.
The 0.115 isn't the same as 11.5%, as at that rate the game won't be done in 25 years from now. It's more like 25% at this point, approximating the further split of the playable day and the fact that the game gets more complex both in quality rendering and coding process, go check the

post above.
Why even mentioning his annual income, that number doesn't make you sleep well? Stop counting money in someone's pocket, FFS.
