PD 14 - Day 21 - Saturday
The provisional schedule he gave in summer 2022 did not include Vicky/DeShawn's event (as he forgot) and the supposedly very short Sam's event in the afternoon (cello lesson). The following should be the definitive schedule for the PD.

[Technical info of the release]
Animations: I'll try to add one animation. But like last update I start working on it when time comes in the scene (source), 1 (15 sec., 2 different angles) (source)
Number of renders: over 200 but less than 300 (source) more than 300 but definitely less than 350 (source), 341 (source)
Pages of script: 23 (source)
Mini games: no
Release period: not before October 13th (

For the time being, I'm planning to put both side jobs into one update. I'll start with the second side job and see how it develops. If it does take longer, I may split the two side jobs into two updates after all. (source) v0.210 will be only about the 2nd side job (source)

[Information coming with the teasers released on SubscriberStar]
  1. A new day with the old rascals
  2. A nice little surprise for Sophia as a welcome gift
    As if the the elderly were courting Sophia against each other. But whose idea was that? Sophia certainly likes it. The old geezers are definitely up to something;)
  3. And there was one more thing...
    The "porn nurse dress". Should she really get involved in this nonsense?
  4. Legend Vet teaser
  5. Well, but a promise is a promise
  6. Hungry eyes (initially leaked as legend vet)
  7. Getting ready for the for the slutty nurse outfit (initially leaked as legend vet)
  8. The naughty nurses' dress in all its glory (initially leaked as legend vet)


[General info about the event]
* Alternative noon event 1
* she promised to try on the slutty nurse outfit (little preview from the fan art thread with some
new additions;) ), the asset for the slutty outfit.
* Anyways, since the first and second side job are alternative events that you don't play one after the other but either one or the other, I have to make the events "sexy degree" similar. The event will definitely take a slightly different course with a lil twist at the end, but I want to save the "complete exposure" for the Dylan scene afterwards. After all, the nursing home update won't be as long as the tutoring one. (source)
[General info for Dylan's events of the day]
* from v0.170 we know she has to drive Dylan to his soccer match around 3:30 pm (time confirmed by L&P
here)
* Maybe Darnell will be back when Sophia picks Dylan up (
source) - There is something planned with him on the cuckold route (source) [but no mention it could be this PD]. Darnell will play a role here (source)
* Dylan has to give back the money he took otherwise Sophia will be mad (
source) [we don't know in which event]
* Dylan's events are always connected in some way. Cuckold is just an option sometimes, which will only be important much later in the game. (
source)
* (Q) Would the following Dylan update be like a previous date with Dylan in erotic grade? (A) Not really (source)

* We know from v0.185 that Liam will be watching the football game with Mr Harris again. From v0.200 we know that also Neil might be joining them, but this time seems to be basketball, contrary to what previously said. Will there be another interaction with Harris following the tease in v0.185 and/or Neil after the last football game?

* (Q) In the museum scene, will Sophia have the chance to find herself alone with one of the two boys or will the actions always take place with the 4 of them together? (A) I don't wanna spoil anything about that scene now (source)

* Museum guys are just a one time thing to conclude this bonus storyline (source)
* (Q) In the museum event, will Patricia be active or passive? Will it have repercussions on Patricia's attitude the following day? (A) Rather active (source)
* it should be scheduled as planned (source Nov 2024)



The following are instead pieces of information we know about the future days, either from what it is said in the game or from various intel given by L&P.
Again, the comments in this colour are unconfirmed information or educated guesses from what is said in the story but needing a confirmation

Note 1: "within the next X days" is to be counted from PD 12 when he gave the info.
Note 2: the sex scenes apparently are not exclusively about Sophia but they are about Sophia, Dylan and Ellie. ( source 1, source 2)
Note 3: in the spa event (v0.200 and v0.201) a lesbian scene has been added between Sophia and Ellie, but that was not planned and thus is not counted in this schedule to avoid confusion on the timeline: for example, the 1st lesbian event, probably the ranch event, will be actually the second in the game, and so forth. For all purposes, if you will, the spa scene will be considered as the 0th lesbian scene ;)

Note 3: according to an old post (Jan 2020), there will be at least 1 Dylan event each day except for days 22, 23, 28, 30, 31, 33 and 35. But things could have changed. So, grain of salt.

Note 4: Side jobs are recurring events but atm it is not explicitly specified if they occur on regular schedules. We know that the first side job is shorter than the 2nd and will end earlier but there will be still the option to return to them later (source).
  • Nursing job
    • Sophia is temporary replacing "for the next two to three weeks" Nurse Susan who is ill and she has to take care of Mr. Herman and Mr. Gibbs. They are both in "for the next two weeks for some routine health checks". This **could** mean that the story with them is over on Saturday PD 22.
    • Assuming she is working on a regular schedule and based on the first week events, the working days would be Monday, Thursday and Saturday. But nothing is said in the story and no intel is given on the topic.
  • Tutoring job
    • Sophia is teaching Ava's kids while she is reviewing two Master thesis "for 2-3 weeks" (as written in the ad)
    • So far, since the first interview we have 1 event per day, Sunday excluded. Since it's basically a home schooling job it is possible that there are events every day of the week but Sundays. But this is not confirmed. From v0.170 we know that Saturday was not scheduled, for this week it's an extra.
Note 5: Nathalie is supposed to come twice a week for 3 hours but the days has to vary because of her college schedule. So it is not possible atm to know when the next events will be. The best intel so far places her next appearance on PD19 (source)


PD 15 - Day 22 - Sunday
[1st lesbian sex scene with an important character: Within the next 3 playable days] (See note 3 above) - it will be more intense than [the one in the spa event] (source).
Official schedule

Day timeReleaseEventTeasersNotes
Morning
Sam (short)Probably another short cello lesson before leaving for the ranch
Trip to the countryside
(Sophia/Patricia/Zoey)
[Preliminary info]
Patricia and Sophia visit her friend Zoey's ranch.
* This event will take place in any case [meaning Boarding school or not, Ed.*]. Either Patricia tells Sophia about it on Day 18 after yoga or she will call her on Saturday. What will happen there depends on Sophia's lesbian points and her relationship to Patricia. (source)
* Note that in the boarding school route Sophia didn't get the invitation from Patricia because they could not stop at Zac's and have a chat while Dylan visited him. In that case, she will got the call on Saturday. The ranch event cannot happen on Alyssa's route (alternative to the yoga event) as Sophia cannot get the 2 Patricia points awarded in the yoga event and get to the required 14 points.
* It will be "one large event which spreads over the morning until the evening" (source) and it will cover 3/4 of the day (source)
* Patricia can horse-ride a bit better than Sophia (source)
* Not clear whether Zoey is lesbian (source)
* (Q): There will be hetero events at the Zoey's ranch on playable day 15? (A): Well... yes and no. It will be a very special and unique event in many ways. That much I can tell. (source)

* (Q) Is the route to the ranch a lesbian route? (A) mostly (source)
* (Q) some of them (Ellie or Dylan) will go with Sophia and Patricia to the country (and so Liam will be freer to plan his weekend)? (A) No, it will be just Sophia Patricia and Patricia's friend Zoey. (source)

From v0.205 we know that:
* Patricia will pick up Sophia at 9:30,
* Sophia has to pack some hiking boots and gear,
* Zoey's husband will be away with the kids,
* Sophia has never tried horse-back riding (contrast with L&P statement)

[Preliminary info]
from v0.185 we know that the romantic dinner between Sophia and Liam is re-scheduled for Sunday evening.
* (Q) Tomorrow (Sunday) will Liam go, as he did last week, to fish all day or (in Sophia's absence) will he stay home and look after his lodgers? (A) Can't say what he will do this day. What matters is just that Sophia and Patricia will have their trip into the countryside. Then if you decide for it, she will go out with him in the evening after the trip. (source)

* (Q) During Liam and Sophia's dinner on Sunday, will they come to a choice for Cathy and Andy's path? (A) Maybe (source sept 2024)

PD 16 - Day 23 - Monday
[1st big hetero sex scene with an important character: Within the next 4 playable days]
[2nd big hetero sex scene with an important character: Within the next 4 playable days]
[2nd lesbian sex scene with an important character: Within the next 4 playable days]
  • there are "several Ellie's events spread out over the day" (aka Ellie's day) and the return of the sauna guys Tyler and Logan
    • "Dylan/Ellie storyline will highly likely already have its culmination on playable day 16 " (source) and it is independent from Sophia's decisions beside the bathroom accident on PD 4 (source)
      • not clear if this means there will be an event (see no Dylan's events below) or the story will be already over. In the latter case their event/sex scene *could* be before PD16, atm PD13 is the only one having an event.
      • Recently (Nov 2023) L&P said during an exchange that there is something planned after PD16 for Dylan/Ellie Storyline (source)
      • (Q) Should we expect this bonus line to continue to the end of the game? i.e. go till PD30 (A) Well since Dylan and Ellie will be still alive until day 30 it surely will be picked up again. (source)
    • Ellie route would split into 3 routes and would involve Logan/Sophia and Ellie (source, source form L&P, spoiler #2)
    • Logan will become Ellie’s new boyfriend but Sophia will have the chance to change her mind at playable day 16 (source form L&P, spoiler #2)
    • From v0.200 we know that the prom night is on Monday evening and Ellie has to find the dress.
      • (Q) Will Ellie's prom night include Dylan or Sam? (A) Sam Sophia yes, Dylan probably not. (source)
      • (Q) Is the Prom event more about Ellie and Sam or will Sophia play a major role in it? (A) Sophia wont go to the prom naturally. But she will participate in the making of this scene. (source)
      • (Q) Will Julia be there in the Prom event? (A) No (source)
      • (Q) Also since you told that the next major Sam event with Sophia is on Tuesday, does that mean Sam will not indulge with Sophia in the prom event? (A) Because on Tue it's a pure Sophia/Sam event and the one the day before is with Ellie too. (source)
  • She usually does not teach on Mondays, but after what happened in v0.161 she will meet Aiden and they are going to have a "have a 'private chat' on Monday at school" . but in v0.170 she has been called in by Principal Johnson as substitute teacher on Monday (as it was anticipated ). Then the 5th task will be revealed right before class (source).
  • "Something definitely really "wild" what is not with the husband [...] and it will be something no one will definitely expect at the moment!" as per L&P quote. Also "... there will be a very hot and big hetero scene.'" (source)
  • no Dylan's events (see note 3)
    • this could be in contrast with the end of Dylan/Ellie (see above) in case there is an event
  • if the schedule is regular (Mon, Thu, Sat), nursing job.
  • Sam event (source)
    • This may be in conflict with (source) in which it is said that the "next real event will be just on Tuesday". So this one if confirmed **could be** another short cello lesson as in PD 14, but it's just speculation.
  • from v0.210 we know there is another lesson of the tutoring job scheduled for monday afternoon

PD 17 - Day 24 - Tuesday
[3rd big lesbian sex(ual) scene with an important character: Within the next 5 playable days]
  • 2 Ellie's events
  • She is teaching on Tuesdays and probably there will be the first sport lesson if the school gym is ready (after the "usual" Literature class)
  • Alyssa will be back and they are likely to meet at soccer practice ("I think Tuesday next week when our boys have soccer practice will be the earliest we can see each other again.")
    • And their next events will be very special (source).
    • Remember that Alyssa path's won't end if Sophia asks Morello's help, it does only if Zac and Dylan are sent to the boarding school (source)
  • From v0.175 we know Sophia's parents will be visiting.
    • They will stay only one day (source) and they only appear in this PD (source)
    • Sophia's maiden name is Ferdinand (source)
  • Sam event (source1, source2), probably related to Sophia's parents visit and the cello "concert" (source).
    • (Q) You said that Sam will be among the last characters to fuck Sophia, but can we hope that after the performance with the cello, Sophia's thanks to Sam will be the leap in quality in their relationship? (A) YES (source)
    • (Q) When Sophia thanks Sam, will she be at Sam's house? (A) NO (source)
  • Marie will be back (source)

PD 18 - Day 25 - Wednesday
  • Biology class, likely another Aiden's task
  • The 1st chance to get rid of Bennett (source)
    • One of the way to get rid of him is Morello if the conditions are met (same as for Aiden) (source), another one could be with the help of Mrs. Torres and the school board but at the moment it is not clear which one will be this day.
    • Not clear at the moment how asking Morello's help works for Bennet, it should be mutually exclusive with Aiden (cannot use it on both).
  • 2nd optional solution for Aiden (less comfortable than Morello). Even this one will require certain choices made before (source)
    • there have been some discrepancies about when this should happen, at some point L&P placed it on PD 17 (source) but then more recently he placed it "in around 5 game days" [from PD 13] (source)
  • not clear if there will be Sam event (source)

PD 19 - Day 26 - Thursday
[4th lesbian sex scene with an important character: Within the next 7 playable days]
  • 2 Ellie's events
  • An old L&P post that has been removed suggested that "Sophia’s first possible sex scene on a special filthy route will happen on playable day 19" (source, see spoiler #5 in the quoted message)
  • Probably the next appearance of Nathalie since PD 12 (source)
  • if the schedule is regular (Mon, Thu, Sat), nursing job.
  • not clear if there will be Sam event (source)
  • From v0.205 we know that DeShawn has invited Sophia to his basketball game in the morning (Sophia is not teaching)
    • It is an actual event and there are no other event with DeShawn and Vicky planned in between (source)
    • Patricia won't be there, Liam and Dylan neither, Vicky we'll see (source)
    • (Q) After Thursday's meeting with Vicky and DeShawn, when Sophia meets them again will it be at her request or still by invitation? (A) Rather on invitation (source)

PD 20 - Day 27 - Friday
  • Literature class, likely another Aiden's task
  • Sam event (source)

PD 21 - Day 28 - Saturday
  • 3 Ellie's events
  • no Dylan's events (see note 3)
  • if the schedule is regular (Mon, Thu, Sat), nursing job.

PD 22 - Day 29 - Sunday


PD 23 - Day 30 - Monday
  • no Dylan's events (see note 3)
  • (Q) You said that Sam is the last one to have sex with Sophia. Is there a reason why Sam is the last? (A) Someone has to be. In my story, it hit Sam. But it has also to do with another reason you will know on Monday playable day 23 (source)

PD 24 - Day 31 - Tuesday
  • Literature and Sport class
  • Deadline for Mr. Bennett's proposal (2 weeks deadline since the dinner on Tuesday PD 10)
    • Remember that "the teacher's role was mainly included for a very special fetish scene at the end of the game!" as per L&P post
  • no Dylan's events (see note 3)

PD 25... PD 30
No significant info available at the moment, see "Story ending(s)" section in the Intel Collection here below.

Other information
What follows is a compilation of other, more general information, grouped by character and topic, that does not fit into any particular day. Again, this comes with the caveat that they may refer to old posts and therefore may no longer be relevant, they may come from mail exchanges between L&P and users without proof, and so on. So take everything with the proverbial grain of salt, the information is collected here with its reference so that people can form their opinion.

Sorry, but I think you are mistaken. This is imaginary city placed in imaginary country. It looks like California, but nowhere is mentioned that it is in California. "Soccer" is a word used in several countries, not only in USA.

I agree that there are a lot of references that points to USA but this was probably done for marketing purposes (people love Hollywood movies). Even assets, houses, windows, bar, school busses .... all looks like America, but it is pain in the ass to find assets that looks like German village o_O.

I see no reason why L&P should avoid using real cities and states, but the fact is that he did. So, you are free to believe that this is USA, but you can't assume that the rules that apply in USA apply in this game. This is imaginary world reminiscent of USA, sometimes because L&P want that, and sometimes because he had no choice (except for some German cars at the beginning ;))
Why not ask L&P? I won't because I already know the answer & he is unlikely to respond to a long-term pirate. Yes, the references in AWAM point to the USA for marketing purposes, because that's where the biggest market for this kind of stuff exists. This story could have been set in Europe but it clearly isn't, so an imaginary place is optional but then it becomes possible to make society up as you go along & I don't think that's the Dev's intention.

"Soccer" is a word used by 5% of the world to indicate what the rest of the world knows as "football". There are countries where both words can be used interchangeably but in the US only "soccer" is used because of the existence of (American) football, referred to in its' nation of origin as "football" but virtually everywhere else as "American Football". [Soccer, a word from England derived from As{SOC}iation Football, distinguishing it from Rugby football, {itself divided in 2}, both of which are closer in practice to American Football....I'll stop there & leave Gaelic, Australian etc., for another time].

On the other hand, there's nothing wrong with fans accepting the place & time in which San Alejo exists as an imaginary country, if that's what suits them.

in my experience a render becomes realistic if you make it with a reference picture side by side. i think thats what l&p also does, getting references from various erotic movies and etc. thus his renders are also very good.

Despite the lack of explicit references, it is very easy and intuitive to set this game in the United States. The architecture, the cars, the shape and the road signs. Even the fact that in the classrooms are the students who move from one to the other classroom at the change of teacher, in addition to the presence of lockers in the corridors, suggest the United States (In Italy, for example, it is the opposite: there are no lockers and are the teachers who move from classroom to classroom while students are always together in the same classroom). Another clue about United States set is the phenomenon of "soccer moms". Outside the United States, football (soccer for Americans) is a boy's game. It is not mothers who accompany their children to training and matches but fathers. Another clue is the American breakfast (in Italy and France but also in other countries breakfast is sweet. You don't eat bacon and eggs and you don't use cutlery). Another clue is the absence of family lunches. It is known that in the United States it is rare for family members to have lunch or dinner all together but, for example in Italy, it is the norm and not attending the common meal is an event that needs to be justified because otherwise it is unkind. .

It is known that in the United States it is rare for family members to have lunch or dinner all together but, for example in Italy, it is the norm and not attending the common meal is an event that needs to be justified because otherwise it is unkind. .
Good observations, thank you. Proving once again AWAM is most likely USA based but universally enjoyed, despite our social protocols.

Despite the lack of explicit references, it is very easy and intuitive to set this game in the United States. The architecture, the cars, the shape and the road signs. Even the fact that in the classrooms are the students who move from one to the other classroom at the change of teacher, in addition to the presence of lockers in the corridors, suggest the United States (In Italy, for example, it is the opposite: there are no lockers and are the teachers who move from classroom to classroom while students are always together in the same classroom). Another clue about United States set is the phenomenon of "soccer moms". Outside the United States, football (soccer for Americans) is a boy's game. It is not mothers who accompany their children to training and matches but fathers. Another clue is the American breakfast (in Italy and France but also in other countries breakfast is sweet. You don't eat bacon and eggs and you don't use cutlery). Another clue is the absence of family lunches. It is known that in the United States it is rare for family members to have lunch or dinner all together but, for example in Italy, it is the norm and not attending the common meal is an event that needs to be justified because otherwise it is unkind. .
Actually, the explicit references to the fact that the story is set in the United States are there and they are multiple:
American is the currency in circulation in San Alejo: Sophia pays for her new clothes in dollars.
American is the system of units of measurement: the speed of the new car in which Carl picks up the Parkers from the airport is expressed in miles per hour.
American is the school grading system: Dylan gets an F for his first history class assignment.
American is the way students are divided according to educational stages: Dylan by age should be in the 11th grade, but having failed one class, he remained in the 10th grade.
For all these reasons, and others (such as the fact that the Parkers moved from the East Coast to the West Coast), I think it can be said with a good degree of certainty that AWAM is set in a mega-city on the West Coast of the United States, like San Jose, California.

Contemporary VN made with DAZ are almost all set in US or an US-like imaginary country, due to the available assets in DAZ (and due to the US soft power even though a lot of dev are european)
