VN Ren'Py A Wife and Mother [v0.201] [Lust & Passion]

[hmc15]

See those Tags down the side? I've got a "Game Developer" on mine because I am now making my own Game having been inspired by the likes of L&P and Stoper who've been making much higher Quality Games than there were before. I only have a few Patrons so far myself but I will be eternally grateful to them as I have wisely invested in more and more DAZ Add On's that are making my Game look better and better each Update.

That's how it works here. Dev's Develop and Donors Donate and you lucky people then get Hero's putting these Games out here for Free so please show some respect to those Donors (and us Milking unworthy Devs who apparently don't work 24/7 on these Games)

When devs continually move the goal post, like L&P has, and create new "goals" despite having achieved several goals already WHILE completely altering development of the game...it seems like the Dev is asking for MORE to produce LESS. This is also known as "milking".

The Dev says he needs significantly new and improved equipment to develop renders from 720p --> 1080p / 4K...yet several posters here have suggested, no, that is not the case.

Topaz Gigapixel AI works good for converting HD to FullHD or 4K. Im using that for my renders to convert.

How long does it take compared to rendering?

Super fast. for one photo less than a minute.

I have supported up to four patrons, monthly, at once. Currently I am supporting none although I will be contributing to Long Story Short and Light of my Life. Those two are both excellent games with good-great storylines, good-great graphics, good update intervals, and transparent developers. They are not "milking" whatsoever and I'll happily contribute incentive for them to keep up the good work.

I would never, ever support L&P as he's refused to add staff despite his game growing exponentially. Adding staff wouldn't be a problem, but splitting the income revenue...now that's L&P's problem XD XD XD

No more debt caused by Liam is not necessary.
Morello spoke of a part of the debt.
He makes the rules and will adjust them again and again.
I am curious if the developer will make Sophia angry at some point.
Or do I as a player have to break the main character, because the developer wants
to understand all the events due to Sophia's lack of support for the family.
Maybe it's on purpose, as it says "how far would you go".

L&P discarded the 1080p thing a while ago and now jumped on it because it's another way he can milk more. It's simple and we discussed this before: with the new way of doing and publishing 1/2 events per update he had to find an excuse to make it drag more. And here it is.

I'm glad people here found ways of just scaling it to 1080p with other tools that don't require him to render at 1080p but I'm sure he'll find another excuse to not use that though. Something to do with "artistic vision" and other buzzwords he likes to use to justify everything else.

Also regarding the story, for someone with such a vision of what he wanted the story of AWAM to be, he sure backtracked fast on that dylan twist

And if he was a serious dev, he would change his goals to match the previous ones before the usd->eur change showing them as completed, not that it matters that much anyway because he won't do what he promises anyway.

Morello spoke of debts not debt so it will be interesting to see what else Liam may of been up to and I think that the 1st task is just a test for the Sophia/liam but we shall see.
Sophia angry at some point.Well she did leave him at he casino,not a wise choice considering his problem.

 

[Ajavrick]

Sofia really left him in the casino, and this is not the wisest her choice, and got her own problem, it's the fate of the "bad wife"... when you sow chance, you reap fate...

When the character Liam was introduced, there was talk of a "small weakness for games".
But ist is a "BIG weakness for games".
Anyway, I'll leave the topic alone for now.
If the patrons don't mind, I don't care how L&P tells this part of the story.

 

[Lust&Passion]

Hii ya'll !!



Since AWAM is a native 720p game I took it upon myself to upscale the entire game into 1080p due to boredom and paranoia during this pandemic.

Yeppp, give or take around 8,270 renders all the way from the flight scene to the end of version .100.
The file size of my 1080p version is close to the original 720p version so yayyy.



Proof below...

Before and After

I had to choose and settle between algorithms for the renders to look passable across various different screen sizes and resolutions and I didn't want the 1080p end product to have too many artifacts so, here you go .

Please feel free to let me know if you find any artifacts. I'll try my best to fix it


I am new to this site so, take it easy on me lol

Here are three download links to my 1080p version of the game although the dropmefiles is a temporary link.


Thanks to monroe for being the awesome human that you are helping me with uploading the files to MEGA and Pixeldrain. You are the best !

This post and the included unofficial version will be disabled or deleted in the future if the developer of the game (AWAM) decides to start rendering in 1080p.

Thank you for stopping by. Hope ya'll enjoy !
Take care and stay safe !

Unfortunately I cannot write you directly a message. I will highly likely upgrade my hardware after the next playable day to render directly in real 1080p with the same pace I'm doing with 720p now. But for the next update I'd like to talk to you about the upscaling thing. All programs I checked until now free and with costs didn't satisfy me, including Photoshop.

On the topic of Liam cheating, it has been abandoned by L&p (with other storylines like the dinner at the restaurant with their friends couple) . Liam was supposed to be the second MC with his own point of view. But L&p has discarded the idea because it was to much work. That’s why there’s weird stuff at the beginning of the game, like Liam at the lingerie shop or the dinner with the friends that have disappeared from the game.

friends couple

the friends couple (andy and cathy) are in the character guide so they are coming back. when only L&P knows

First of all: I just checked for the new RTX 3090 (I didn't even know about it yet) and that thing has got 10.500 cuda cores (more than twice as much as my current Titan RTX!) and 24 GB RAM. So, after the next playable day I will let me build a system with 4 RTX 3090 and 1080p will render even much faster than currently the 720p. Then I will only need to confer with a programmer about the "patch updates" to reduce the download size. Of course you will get a "proof pic" of that hell machine.
So, after the next playable day, the game will be released in 1080p. For the next update I will try to upscale the 720p to 1080p as an interim solution.
And here's the update plan of playable day 12 (Day 19):
Update 0.115
(Morning)
1) Ellie
2) Vicky
3) Liam (Good Wife route) OR Don Morello

Update 0.130
(Noon)
1) Nursing home (1st side job) OR home schooling (2nd side job)
2) Aiden's 3rd task (parallelly another surprise event)
3) Emma/Dylan OR Sophia/Dylan

Update 0.150
(Afternoon)
1) Nathalie
2) Dylan/Ellie (very small side event)
3) A little bonus storyline with Sophia (with interesting options for later)
(Evening)
4) Sam

I'm almost done with the story preparation for the next udpate. I will start with the scene creation tomorrow. So, there will be the first teaser soon.
The Vicky, Liam and Don Morello events won't be that huge. Ellie will highly likely be the longest and most elaborate one between them. So, it should be possible to release 0.115 within the next two months. But only if it stays like that. It can also happen that I start working on the events and they will be bigger than expected. Like it was the case the last update. But actually, I don't think so.
I will also try the "live chat translation help" during the programming & translation part to speed this up.

I hoped that Aiden and the side jobs were already in the next update.

Looks like it will take at least 2+2 monhts.

4 months too much 3 months worst case.
the big event is the sophie/ellie.@farrah will be very happy

That's all well and good, but we all know that it's the scene creation that takes the longest time. Being able to render them faster is fine, but the complexity of the scenes and the amount it takes them to be created isn't likely to change, so will cutting down on rendering times really make that of a difference?

The Vicky, Liam and Don Morello events won't be that huge.

Famous last words.

More famous last words. I believe they said similar things about the previous update, that certain events wouldn't be very big and they ended up growing exponentially, so I'd suspect it's highly likely to happen again.

Last update was on Sept 11th, today is October 5th , almost passed one month and just now dev is going to start new update. Considering his words is easy to assume that he will take not less than other 2 months to complete the 1.15 Update ( 1/3 of the day 12). this is really a great enhance..... in the step back. We all must reconize that there is something ingenious in the way that he milks. He learned too much from Wirecard
