Two steps forward - one step back.

Although I ain't the biggest Sammy fan, but 0.180 feels like a filler after 0.175. This VN is called AWAM, not "A son and a brother". I totally get it, Dylan is the most popular character in the polls, yet Ellie was right behind him with a margin of 4-5%. So why on Earth it has become that laser focused on the Parker's youngest?
The story progress is tedious. It seems like L&P is simply afraid of moving to the "really hawt stuff" as it may not meet fans expectations. Thus we're limping around same ol' checkboxes: staring, kissing, kneading, stroking ... And don't get me started on the mini-game, that crap is completely atrocious.
Plus that new male character shatters such a potential great scene with two milfs. Clearly, he's there for a "Dylan cuck path", feels totally out of place. Could've been done so much better with Parkers and Claire alone, with all those awkward glances, insinuations. Sophia/Dylan seduction path could've started for real right there, with Claire actively flirting with both of them and more intense continuation back at home during evening parts 1&2. Such a shame. I wonder what are the highlights of 0.185 + 0.190 are gonna be - a passionate french kiss for P1 and playing with mommy's boobies or God forbid me for that fantasy even sucking her nipples by the end of P2?

Four updates before the next PD. It may take up to a year with those planned animations. Idk what has happened with the intention, at least on paper, to speed up game releases. I guess, it got thrown out of the window.
This VN has an unimaginable potential, our talented fan artists prove that on a daily basis. I get it that not every update can be as good as the previous one or like Dylan/Amber side story. I dig his stance on AWAM being more than your typical porn-alike VN. However, 290+ renders and this is the final result? Well, sweet life among cows in Alps won't pay itself, thus switching from euros to GBP and elongating development process seems like a reasonable step.

AWAM, why are you wasting time in Marie? Sophia became boring cuz you fail prioritizing her. Wasn't it supposed to be Sophia's story?
Mr AWAM get your shit together man...
Won't happen, he's adding in more and more "feature creep" cause it's making him money. Until it no longer nets him a large sum, he will not ever stop doing things they way he currently is.

There was no intention to speed up development time. He's been actively doing the exact opposite for years now that has deliberately slowed his development pace to a crawl. Money. That is the only reason why. He realized how stupid people are once they kept throwing it at him in a large quantity on patreon, regardless of how small the updates are, or how long it took him to develop. This is nothing uncommon either. There are many devs on the indie side and triple a side of game development that pull similar nonsense just to make a quick buck.

It's okay if this update only takes about a month, but taking more than 2 months with these meaningless contents is really disrespectful to those who support him
Ridiculously short. And that was 3 month "work", lol.
Its getting pathetic at this point. The branches make it even worse. Imagine playing the lesbian path and your scene gets cut short because some fucking dudebro walks in.

Bad update for the money, I must say. Thought the updates went from 1/3 a day to 1 scene per day for it to be as quick as it could be released but it didn't. Thought we would get 1 scene a month, but it turns out the update gets released almost months like when things were 1/3 a day.
This is what everyone was saying would happen, and it fucking happened lol.

What really gets me about this whole thing is that all these branching paths aren't exactly necessary. He could focus on a few specific ones for this game and finish the main story with Sophia. He'd have a completed VN/Game under his belt and could then go on to make AWAM 2 or other games set in the same place with some of the other characters and tell more stories without dragging shit out the way he is. All those branching paths could also be told in those other potential games as happening at the same time since it's all in the same setting. He could show what was happening with other characters and be able to focus solely on those paths. Doing it the way he is right now, this game will never be finished before I hit 50 years old. That's about another decade down the road for me and that is both sad and absurd for any developer to have as a goal. No audience is going to stick around that long or throw money at you for that long (except chris roberts cause he's a douchebag car salesman that knows how to dupe people).

That all being said, i cut my support of his patreon a couple years back when i realized what he was doing. He's only gotten worse just like many of us tried to warn people. Some of us even made the attempt at reason to see if the dev would listen to us about speeding up development time. Not just on here but over on patreon. It just isn't going to happen though, thus why i mostly read this thread now for the lulz it provides. I honestly had great hope this dev was going to be like Mr. Dots at the very least, blueball people for about a year and then start getting down to the sexual scenes. That way he could show off his writing talent that people would be able to trust he'd turn out quality content. Sadly, there are just too many stupid people that are all too willing to throw money at a thing or person regardless of how blatant they're being fucked over in the process.
