Considering that he only updates in 5% increments, a single image might not be enough to be worth it. For something like a 300 render update, 5% is 15 images.
There was a time he was "fast" enough to update in 10% quants, so there's a good chance we'll go down to single percentage points.

If you are following Ellie route and excluding Dylan come here in a year from now…
Have you missed all the times I've been saying I just want this playable day to be over with?
So you're saying the next 2 updates should be skipped if you dislike Dylan? If I'm interested in Ellie he will still butt in during the Christine event also?
The next 4 updates can be skipped. While Ellie might be present during the third update, it's as a minor character.
We are still here, and 2022 WAS a make-or-break year. It was the year L&P changed to event-based releases which made the story overall much worse as events seem disjointed. It was also the year where development speed became so laughable that even the most diehard fans here had to acknowledge the bullshit going on. 2022 has changed AWAM alot. And not to the better, that's for sure. I remember GingerSweetGirl predicting in 2021 that L&P would eventually go to event-based releases, which she considered to be a make-or-break thing. Yeah, she was right. And many others who thought 2022 would turn everything to shit weren't wrong either.

Yeah, we are still here playing the game and L&P is still developing it, but it can hardly get any worse in terms of development, can it now? Can't get much slower before he's in the same realm as ICSTOR or Gumdrops, or abandonment even. So yeah, 2022 was certainly a make-or-break year if you ask me. Maybe not in the same way you thought people meant it. It's obvious that there'll be some poor souls burning their money on L&P for years to come, even if he were to release absolutely zero content.


Hardly. His raw numbers are higher than 2 years ago, but the average patron tier went down. So he's making more or less the same amount of money. You can even see that if you check his patron goal bar at the start of next month. He used to reach the 100% there with a much lower patron count. Takes several hundred more patrons these days to get it to reach 100%. And he's also not been able to reach his peak of 2300 patrons again since April 2022 (first update with Animations, where many people, even some OG patrons, expressed their frustration which resulted in dropping down tiers).

Edit:

I'd argue it's you wearing pink glasses. The amount of satisfied patrons is far lower compared to the amount of people who either abandoned the game entirely or are vocal about it's disastrous development. There's plenty pirate forums on the internet, and the general opinion of L&P and his practices are all the same. This title could easily have 10k+ patrons considering it's one of the most viewed, most demanded VN's out there. And yet L&P is stuck at a fairly low amount of supporters. Sure, he's not going to starve any time soon, but he could also be a millionaire by now if it wasn't for the constant downhill ride the past 3+ years.
While I might be here, I haven't downloaded an update since v.150.

I think for me, it's been "make or break" as to whether I seriously expect I'll ever become a patron. That the first time we see Jules naked is a Dylan event, him at the salon, and later at the cheerleader sleepover tells me that instead of the story I at one point enjoyed, I'm now being gated behind a kink I don't enjoy. And that this will eventually just become your standard porn game with prettier graphics. And minigames to make the story "interesting"

Interesting :unsure: Observation Between " Dylan & Liam " hmm . Look at Sophia ah !!

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
So a question in regards to production.

When it comes to doing the lighting for each scenes and what not, is there a reason why he/she does the posing, lighting and everything all in one go per each scene/shot instead of doing the posing for the whole update then go back and work on the lighting for the whole update and so on?

I don't know if I typed that properly, sorry if so.

Just feel like it would be faster to do the posing and setting for everything in the update then go back and then work on lighting and extra touches.

It turned out that Liam's boss, Mr. Harris, wanted to come over to watch the football game that night. An offer Liam could hardly refuse. So Liam and Sophia postponed their date on Sunday evening.

Sophia meets Dylan in the hallway and asks him what he's up to. He tells her about a buddy who got basketball tickets for a game this night, third row. OR (depending on your decisions before): about a party (at Christine's house). Of course Sophia is happy for him. Accordingly, Sophia tells him about her changed plans for the evening...

Basketball game? Hopefully Dylan isn't going to the WVM game that *checks notes* has been delayed for the past year+.

But if he is, I bet Sam secretly gave his friend the tickets. So he can have Sophia all to himself.

I wonder if Aaron is playing in the basketball game.

The MVP of the basketball team at Ellie's school, in case people were wondering. Who she considers dating until she meets Logan.

It's the party at Christine's. I believe it's a sleepover for the cheerleading team.
