He's aging Dylan to stop working on 2 games at once (DoL/AWAM), it's that simple, to save up more time in the end. Plus his characters gotta have an appearance of 18+ to be Steam-ready.
And clearly L&P is shaping that DAZ3D Adora into something unique, thus he's altering her face and other parts of her voluptuous body as well. Same thing with Dylan and Ellie. Lil' mouse looks a lot sexier now than during first several PD's due to body-morphing.
If he really gonna stick to no more than 200-300 renders per update, that's gonna be a first symptom of accepting new reality. AWAM still has hope. I'm waiting for his post concerning future of his own VN and his vision for the project.
