I haven’t given this any consideration before, but could Patricia have driven Dylan home and then been the one who saw Sophia and Sam in the window? Isn’t that part of her role in this game, so see Sophia’s sexual side and then encourage her? Patricia was the one who caught Sophia letting Tyler slide his hand under her skirt and play with her pussy. I’m vague on the Biker Bar scene now, but doesn’t Patricia realize that there is something going on between Sophia and Sam, and encourage Sophia to ride home Sam? Perhaps this will be divulged in the Museum event?
For plastic surgeries i mean ,breast implants ,ass implants and lip filler ,or nose job.i didn't meaned medical emergencies. I always loved games where a normal woman becomes a bimbo so i tought that maybe this coudl be an idea for the final part. It depends..there are games where there is only corruption ,so the girl changes her behaviour and there is also my favourite genre ,corruption +bimbofication ,so the girl slowly gets corrupted and also change her style such as sophia started to do and maybe adding surgeries but it depend on dev's tastes

"The game is very interesting. Branching the plot because of your decisions, in principle, is not the worst thing either. But not without disadvantages. Now updates are coming out, for me, almost empty, because earlier you made a different choice. It's sad. You are waiting for an update, and in the end, what is not available to you in the update.
Please, who has the opportunity, throw off the save where Sofia goes to visit Sam.
Such an intriguing ending in the last update, but I can't watch the sequel."

It better not, I do think that would actually make me change my 5 out of 5 review to 1 out of 5.Let me finish with a cliffhanger question.
We know that Sophia won't have a harem, only one LI per route. Sam is now an "official" LI with the secret girlfriend deal. Dylan is supposed to get to the same level of progress as Sam by the end of the evening. Could this mean that the evening events can only happen if Sophia did not continue the relationship with Sam?
I doubt L&P would do that, it would make no real sense to do it considering Sam's route starts alongside Dylan, I think L&P is smart enough to see that would annoy many people and it would be something like Dylan's deal with Aiden, L&P would have to walk that back due to complaints I would think.
I'm with you on this, I didn't like the stealing the money was in there at all.
hey guys, L&P made a remake of the beginning of the game, do you know about that? did him release this remake?
So, I said so much and you get stuck up on a word? I'm assuming you must be a paying member so can I ask wtf are you doing on a piracy forum? Doesn't L&P give enough attention on patreon or what? As you said that people who don't financially support the game have no right to question "milking" by dev, so going by the same logic, what reason do you have to be on a piracy forum? Isn't it for the love of game, I'm assuming it is, then what is the problem with discussing the imperfections of the game?You can find literally thousands of comments appreciating the dev for the content he provides,so do you also get stuck up about them financially supporting the game? I haven't seen anybody asking someone to not appreciate the dev because they don't support the game financially so what so wrong when people question him? Get off your high horse and grow up. We all are here just for the mutual love for the game, and while we appreciate the game, one has all the right to question the dev as well if he doesn't delivers.

He is doing that in between working on updates. He did not complete that so question of releasing that.
This is likely the reason why he did not started working on next update.
For me remaking old renders is a unwise option. They did not looked bad at all. These old renders may not look good from his todays work standards, but surely were a testament to developers own development as an artist.
Lets say he is going to complete this game, for which it would take him 2 decades. By that time these new renders would look old by future standards. So he would again remake them instead of working on new updates?

I would be almost completely persuaded by your suggestive consideration (Patricia's unexpected presence in the Parkers' home, once Dylan is excluded, would almost seem to suggest an interesting role for her in this affair) were it not for two (I think important) details:
- Patricia drives Dylan home, only if the latter has been sent to boarding school, otherwise he comes home on his own.
- I don't understand the reason why Patricia would go up to Sophia's bedroom, since, if I am not mistaken, it's the only place in the Parker house where it's possible to see what happens in Sam's room.
Granted that L&P could still invent any plausible reason to justify Patricia's presence in Sophia's bedroom, what gives me a little more pause is the possibility of tying the continuation of this eventual part of the game exclusively to Dylan's boarding school path.
I also think that the question of who might have seen Sophia naked in Sam's room is now settled (no one has seen her) and that (once Dylan is excluded) to speculate that someone else might have seen her is nothing more than giving undue importance to yet another sibylline answer that L&P gave to someone who asked for clarification on the next developments in his game.

Questioning the dev's game or story decisions is one thing, but accusing him of milking supporters is wrong, yes, if the accusations come from non-supporters. It's like if I tagged along for free on a vacation you were taking. If I asked you where we were going next or what kind of food people ate in those places, you probably wouldn't mind those questions. But if I said you should have spent more on the hotel or tipped the waiter at a restaurant more, wouldn't you get angry? You'd think, if you want to stay at a different hotel, book your own with your own money!
I support several devs who make AVNs. This is one of them. Being a supporter on Patreon is a bit like being a customer and an investor, but you're still neither one. Like an investor, there's a risk involved in supporting a dev. It's minimal risk, depending on how much money you dole out, but it exists. There is no contract and the devs are anonymous. There's no suing them or taking any other legal action if they fail to deliver. And, if the game is a big success, supporters do not share in any of the financial rewards. The only benefit is early access to the game (though this site usually has new updates posted very quickly) and maybe some other small benefits, like having your gaming handle appear in the credits. Supporters are also not customers. Paying money to the dev on Patreon is no guarantee we will get a finished game. Supporters are willing to contribute to the dev in the hopes that there will be a finished game someday, or by whatever timetable the dev might give. But patrons are essential, as they motivate developers to take time and allow them to buy software and hardware to make their games possible. Everyone here owes those supporters a lot of gratitude. I am also grateful to supporters. I do contribute to several devs, but I also pirate some games. I try to do at least a one month subscription or buy a game on Steam or something when possible, but particularly in early development, I do pirate some titles to check them out.
So I am not bashing on this site or people who use this site generally, BUT you will never find me complaining about supporters or the financial aspect. It's not worth the emotional energy and if I'm pirating the game, I have no basis on which to complain. People downloading the game for free are taking the benefit of the supporters' contributions and dev's hard work while taking zero risk themselves. Zero! So then when Patreon supporters get bashed as stupid sheep being milked, to me that is a selfish and irrelevant view.
If you used to be a Patreon supporter and stopped for whatever reason, then I confess I am more sympathetic, but even so, to me the place to express dissatisfaction is on Patreon, telling the dev you're leaving etc. I know it can be aggravating. I have supported a few titles that have been abandoned and it was enormously disappointing.
Ultimately, L&P is at the mercy of his patrons. If enough people become dissatisfied, he'll either change his approach or he'll go out of business. In any event, people who are not patrons can either enjoy the game that L&P delivers, or spend their time on something else. For the moment, the quality of the title is high and given the support L&P has, he cannot work on this fulltime. From what I can see, he's earning his money.
I happen to like that AWAM is a slow burn (the story, not the development). It's much more realistic, however frustrating it is as porn. It's OK that you don't like how slowly it's moving, too. Let's just leave "milking" out of it, please. That's not what's going on here.

Like I said in the OT thread, LP is in a no-win situation.
He can't keep "realism" without people complaining/accusing him of blue-balling, lying and milking.
He can't ditch "realism" without people complaining/accusing him of , well, ditching the realism, lying and milking.
-----------
I agree with another pervious comment, he isn't so much slow as he is inefficient. I've made the same point several times. He works at a similar speed as other devs with higher quality games. The difference is he uses 12 renders when another dev would use 5.
If he made 300 renders for 3 events instead of 350 renders for 1, despite literally being fewer renders, most people wouldn't complain about the pace anymore. Realism or not.

But this would him make him not stand out IMO.
Your comment doesn't make much sense, because the participation options on Patreon are mostly linked to an active subscription. People who are disappointed with L&P will certainly not pay money just to have the privilege of doing this in his forum.
Anyway, Why don't you just leave it up to the mods of this forum to decide what's okay to talk about here? If people have fun expressing their disappointment about AWAM development speed here, I see no issue at all. When L&P is ready to seek honest feedback, he can always stop by here.

Except L&P is producing less overall renders each year for the past 3+ years. Yeah, less renders per event would speed up story progress which is the main issue as a single PD is taking 2+ years by now, but if he continues to create less renders every coming year, we'd eventually be back where we are now even if he were to reduce the render count per event.
Maybe, but what makes him stand out the most is a VN that needs 35+ years to be finished. I'd prefer the lesser evil. Worked perfectly fine for early PD's where events where much shorter.
But this comes always here from like the same 3 people over and over again. If you ready the Patreon messages there is no one really complaining much. Most even say Take your Time.
Yes it is still on. But I think he gave her 14 Days so it will be a long long time XD

You are not exactly wrong. I'd say he's got about ~1500 patrons who stay with him, no matter what (well, atleast for now). The remaining ~500 he gains over the span of a month are either those who subscribe for 1 month to get the latest update and leave, or new patrons who notice how the game's progress is crawling, leaving after a couple months at most. But he's not gaining more support for quite a while now, for very good reasons I might add. In fact, the average patron tier went down the past 12 months.
But here's the thing...The number of people who dislike the slow development exceed the number of happy fellas by far. He could easily have 10k+ patrons by now, but the slow development (and most likely his persona) is shooting him in the foot. But L&P seems to be fine with that, and it's his project.
That said, you know very well that there's more than 3 people here being aware of- and addressing the slow development. It's likely the single biggest point L&P is known for.
Is L&P really increasing his membership numbers or are they staying more or less the same?

It's still going, but Bennett gave the Sophia 2 weeks to decide on his ultimatum and that was on PD10. So she doesn't need to give an answer until PD24, which might be as long as 20 years away.
With Bennett not even being in the Favorite Character poll, we know that he's not going to have any significant scenes in the foreseeable future.
Sophia even has an out by going to the school board, so the storyline isn't really going anywhere anyway. The Twist being removed I think is showing that the appetite for blackmail amongst supporters might not be that high
