I already did, i'll hold the pledge for now. Maybe search some new devs with promising projects instead.
If the next updates get better, i will give my support, if not... well, i hope we won't get a lazy ending or a sudden disappearence.
A reasonable decision, personally I also do not patronize L&P yet, and I do not even consider others, they are not interesting to me.

And that's cool. I personally do it because i like to see good projects come to light or even feel part of some. Don't need to be especifically games too.

The prison scene sure has everyone's attention.

Here's something to think about if your version of Sophia is on the Filthy Route: this is one of the first opportunities we've had to interact with an unrelated man in a sexually charged situation.

Think about that.

After all of the updates, over all of these years, most of the men that Sophia has had to deal with are either related (by blood or other relationship), young, or professional associates. Since the movers, I don't believe there has been a man in Sophia's life that doesn't fall into one of those categories. Larry is the rare man that is purely someone outside of her social sphere, and that does change things. While nothing about this situation is "normal", Sophia also isn't limited by societal expectations like she is with the other men in her life. Larry is a blank slate, the rules of their relationship are not written yet. Not even DeShawn is as removed from her social sphere as Larry is.

I look at her interaction with Larry as the first opportunity we've had to see just how corrupted she has become. As I see it, the insinuations are clear:

1. Sophia isn't as innocent as we have been led to believe.
2. The taboo nature of her other relationships are the primary issue holding her back.

I've seen a few people mention how it doesn't make sense to them that Sophia would be so aggressive with Larry when she has rejected/fought against relationships with other men that she knows better. But clearly L&P is telling us that the taboos of incest and age are not going to be brushed aside easily. At the same time, Sophia is not a woman without desires and a sultry (not sluty!) side. When given the opportunity to be playful with an unrelated man who desires her, she wasn't appalled. The corruption is taking its toll. This is what we've been waiting for, it's just happening in a way that we didn't expect.

This leads me to believe that the first man to have sex with her that isn't Liam will be someone unrelated and older. Sam, Dylan, Aiden, Zach, etc, I think are out of the running. The pathway to her cheating now goes through the Morello plotline. She wants a man, not a boy, and frankly I think that makes total sense.

Perhaps too many of us have become too accustomed to incest storylines, but it seems L&P is digging in against the idea that incest will come easy. If you're into the realism of this story, this makes complete sense.

There's another benefit to this. It gives Sophia as a character more agency over her story. Instead of being the damsel in distress that is being corrupted, she is a woman who is owning her sexuality. That doesn't mean she's going to fuck everyone in sight, but it does make her a more interesting character. Instead of her constant hemming and hawing over her odd sexual interactions with her kids, we finally have a chance to see Sophia being assertive and proactive in her own story.


The problem with this thought is that L&P didn't really lay much ground work for it. I still maintain my poor opinion of this update.

The most memorable moment in this update, but someone did not take it carefully.

And still its better than your avatar picture.

Come on mate not everybody is perfect, if you really wanted to give a constructive criticism you should have done this by sending a personal message through L&P's mail or through his F95 account. Posting this here to everbody's attention is not the right thing to do, atleast now its not the time, since there are many whiners.

Morella stuff in this VN needs to be abandoned and removed altogether, the whole casino side of this makes no logical sense at all. There is no way Sophia leave her gambler husband at a casino in the first place and there is no way she would do what I see in the screenshot earlier in this thread either.

It just adds pointless content that really isn't needed.

Also, I have been proven correct on smaller updates causing more complaints, people don't want faster updates via smaller updates, they want the same sized updates faster. That decision never made any sense to me at all.

I enjoy AWAM and been a big defender of this but the wheels are starting to come off on this now, focus on Sophia's relationship with Dylan and his friend circle and Ellie and her friends circle. To hell with anything else, I suspect it all designed to corrupt Sophia into eventually having sex with someone not named Liam, but come on L&P pull the ripcord on all the unnecessary side stories, its dragging AWAM down.

  • February update: Sophia relationship with Dylan or someone in his circle (Sam, Zach or Aiden)
  • May Update: Sophia relationship with Ellie or someone in her circle (I actually forget her friend's names right now but lesbian side)
  • August Update: Sophia relationship with Dylan or someone in his circle (Sam, Zach or Aiden)
  • November Update: Sophia relationship with Ellie or someone in her circle (I actually forget her friend's names right now but lesbian side)
People want above content, they don't care for the side stories nonsense, it's just slowing everything down but I defended you a lot L&P, it's time to pull the trigger and give people what they want. People want to see a direct follow-up to what they seen in a previous update in next update, keeping people waiting for a year on things is just going harm you in the long run and eventually people like me who defend AWAM will stop defending you.

What annoys me more is, we've had several opportunities in previous playable days for Sophia to open up to other non family members and go topless. But she never did. Now in a single update she goes topless with two complete strangers! It's like the Dev was forced to rewrite the story to appease the blue ballers.

I'm not complaining, the Morello event was cool, but i can't overlook the fact that it was forced. It just didn't fit right with her character. Maybe if she throughout the story did some naughty things here and there, it wouldn't have looked weird.

I'm just saying he should've done this from way back in the previous updates. This sudden change in character, feels out of place.
