How many time does this have to be said in here? It's simple...........don't like this VN? Then unwatch and move on but quit your whining.

People need to learn to enjoy what they get and stop frigging demanding other people do shit the way they want them to.

You get what you get, when you get it from AWAM, don't like it, then go find something else on this endless forum of content or the massive library of porn on the web, it's not like y'all don't have plenty of options.

This complaint had gone quiet for a long time but sure is back with a vengeance from what I see.

don't like my post? then facepalm it, report it, do what you like but what I say will always be true, so many people posting in here who clearly have nothing better to do.

rant over.
They won't get the same satisfaction from other forums cause there are hardly any which are this active.
They have nothing to do and choose to babble nonsense on forums so they can find some food for their desire to argue.

A thing as simple as just leave the game if you don't like is too much for their childish brain to understand.

Perhaps more importantly, is there anything more interesting happening? Is there any confirmation there is going to be any nudity this update?
On seeing where the story-line is going, and the rate at which Sophia is getting naked (here is the complete list) there should be more nude scenes. But cannot verify this info.
Or maybe if we are really really unfortunate, Sophia will think I've shown too much skin today [Day 19], so I am gonna be a good wife.

For the people talking about milking. It's the opposite actually:

- Dating My Daughter is less popular than this game in this site, still the dev has the double of patrons than L&P.
- This game is almost four times more popular than Fashion Business here: 22 M views against 6 M views, still DecentMonkey has more patrons and earns more money there.
- The Dev of Acting Lessons and Being a DIK started his first game later than this one and he already finished one and his other one is very advanced. He has like 7 times more patrons.

So, the fact that this dev has been very slow and unproductive has prevented him to earn more patrons and money. We are talking about a very popular game which earnings correspond for games with 1/4 its popularity.
There is a reason why the market is the way that it is.

Mr Dots the creator(s) of DMD is also the creator of Melody (completed), and Sunshine Love (WIP). It's questionable to claim that DMD is less popular than AWAM. Both are really big popular games.
AWAM = More comments 2623 pages vs 2094
DMD = More 1st post likes 2926 vs 2162
AWAM = More Reviews 258 vs 218
DMD = Higher Average Review 4 & change vs 3 & change

I like both games, and both are popular, but I think DMD is slightly more popular, but it's debatable.

Decent Monkey is one of the hardest working devs I have ever seen. They release so many renders and so frequently compared to most other devs. They earn it. Unique story too, and massive amount of animations.

Comparing almost any dev to Dr Pink Cake... Come on guy. Being a Dik is arguably the most popular adult game. I love AWAM, but it's not at the same level as Being a Dik in execution, and that's just a fact. AWAM is 720 being a Dik is 1080 for starters. Then there is massive amounts of sex in that game, and it's coded like a boss. It's like all around golden game. That level of production is nuts. If you want to compare someone to Dr Pink Cake leave L&P alone that just aint fair go with like Phillygames with his City of Broken Dreamers and Depraved Awakening or maybe CheekyGimp with Where the Heart is instead when comparing the big boys that's a more fair match up.

All those devs you just listed all work hard for it, and none of them are milkers.

Even L&P Isn't a milker. In spite of it being slow burn he still makes releases. In spite of it being blue ball. A release is a release the story continues. Maybe it's not progressing as fast as many want, but that's his style and that's his audience. He is shooting for more "Erotic" than "Pornographic".

If you want to know why L&P isn't stacking money to the ceiling as good as some of the other devs mentioned. I'll make a list of things L&P could do to get that cash flow up:

1) A lot of them games don't do it, but coming to the forums more often to drop a line and let people know your active and not have people debating this or that. If he came out to the forums and dropped a line a little more often that would help him grow a little better. I don't think L&P has a discord server or an Instagram or twitter or anything.

2) He kinda should switch from 720 to 1080p. A lot of people want HD, but at the same time that would take too long, and you don't want half the game in one resolution and the other half in another.

3) Animations: AWAM seems pretty light on animations. I think Neil boning his wife Amber was the only animation, and it was only 1 animation. At Damaged Goods we already have 18 animations, and there will be 8 more soon we came out on X-mas. People want animations.

4) The code needs a little bit of work for player convenience. A jump to day, or gallery mode option would be a big plus.

5) The game has been around for 3.5 years. It's a big game, and it's got a big fan base and has had a fair number of releases. There have been 17 or so releases now. (I have played every single one since RPGM days) So it's established, and not just established but well established. That being said Sophia the female protagonist has not even gone so far as to give a handjob to a man other than her husband. Not even a little quick tuggy tug. That is probably the slowest pace of any game I have ever seen. Even Jessica O'neil from JOHN is out pacing her. Ultimately when Sophia does fuck around it is a double edged sword. At some point in the future when Sophia does shift over from prude to lewd... Well, that's a big change. Some supporters will be upset that the blue balling comes to an end and leave, but other new ones may take there place and old ones may return. There is no real case study comparison of what happens when you do the blue ball thing so long as sophia then get out of it.

If you want me to point my finger and say "Milker"... There is only really one developer I can think of off the top of my head that fits that bill perfectly. The reason gumdrop is a milker is he missed 6 self imposed deadlines over a couple of year span releasing nothing, and then releases a "prologue" of his "remake" that is just a piano simulator.

Not making releases and breaking promises = Milking

Slow burning =/= Milking

Slow burning can actually cost a developer money if they do it too much.

I have a 2k screen.
720p renders look terrible on it!
Who are all these people who are talking about amazing renders?))))
What is their screen resolution?
If the developer doesn't make 1080p in a couple of years it will look even worse.

That's pretty interesting and thorough post, thank you, sir! But I'd like to add smth.

Even L&P Isn't a milker. In spite of it being slow burn he still makes releases. He is shooting for more "Erotic" than "Pornographic".
The word "even" is redundant here as you show it later. And some folks don't get it that AWAM is an erotic VN, not a porn one.

2) He kinda should switch from 720 to 1080p. A lot of people want HD, but at the same time that would take too long, and you don't want half the game in one resolution and the other half in another.
That has happened already starting from 0.115. He also wanted to upscale all the previous renders but I can't recall whether he did it or not.

3) Animations: AWAM seems pretty light on animations. I think Neil boning his wife Amber was the only animation, and it was only 1 animation. At Damaged Goods we already have 18 animations, and there will be 8 more soon we came out on X-mas. People want animations.
Well, there are more than one (kissing, jerking off, washing intimate parts, playing with pussies, riding sibian, actual sex, etc.). The problem is they are scattered all over the game, so to see everything we gotta play all the possible routes. Can he make more of them? Sure, which is gonna make the "milkers club" a little bit saaltyy.

5) Sophia the female protagonist has not even gone so far as to give a handjob to a man other than her husband. Not even a little quick tuggy tug. That is probably the slowest pace of any game I have ever seen. Ultimately when Sophia does fuck around it is a double edged sword. At some point in the future when Sophia does shift over from prude to lewd...
That's L&P's response to that from his patreon page:
"And of course, the slowly developing story and gradual character development of the protagonist, to create an arc of suspense (actually all characters have their own personality)! Showing too much skin right at the beginning ruins the suspense. In my game everything is adapted to the story! And there will still be a lot of sizzling scenes!"

Probably the Rubicon has been crossed, and latest events unambiguously hinting at that. I've no clue what is "sizzling" for him. Was Dylan/Amber event hot, or Julia joining Parkers or the latest mother\daughter showering scene? Or that's nothing compared to what he has in mind? Once L&P ups the stakes and Sophia does get naughty, this thread will explode in rupture. Of course, we'd love that to happen yesterday, but "In my game everything is adapted to the story", so the chief has a plan and he sticks to it.

PS If someone thinks I'm quoting myself and not L&P. In 3 out of 4 given sentences he uses exclamation marks. That's an overkill for me. Thank God Spanish isn't official language in here or I would've have a vertigo from them.

L&P broke the patreon goal' promises.

It's 2021, this "game" would be good 3 years ago, now it's just just a slow burning VN with fantastic renders.
Games now have gallery, hidden collectibles, phone app, shop app.

This is just a VN, you just choose the path you want to see, that's all.

What you're all discussing, I've discussed a long of time ago, glad to see there's more people finally seeing it for what it is.

And for the record, I have no issues with whatever money he earns. He could earn 1 million a month and I would be here saying he deserves it, if he did.

Hey guys. If I were to develop games like AWAM or other Renpy-based games, what skills do I need? Could someone who's familiar with this sort of game development help me with a detailed blueprint? Thanks!
The use of Daz3d or other programs to create art renders also how to use ren'py itself you can find several tutorials on youtube. And a good bank account as the assets for daz are not cheap, but you can always start small and build yourself up.

There are 3 "Main Skills" needed for renpy game development.

1) Writing. Gotta be able to write something that people want to read.

2) Visual Art. You either need to be able to draw good, or make daz renderes or have some other source of visaual art like clipping out porn images from various sites some people do that, or even trace them as was done for GGGB.

3) Coding you need at least a basic level of coding. People say stuff, have variables and menus.

Then there are some sub skills that help too:

Photoshop, Marketing, placing sound effects / music, organization, being able to talk to people even when they are rude, time management ect

Different people develop games different ways. So you just gotta figure out what's best for you.

Oh god tell me about it, I've spent around 300 dollars in the last few days at DAZ3D on new environments and poses for something

so been thinking about that preview image of Ava staring at Sophia and the fact L&P has stated something big happens eventually in the home tutoring event. Don't know if that be in the next update or a future update but I been wondering what the big event could be.

I do think Sophia is close to finally going all-in with someone not named Liam, maybe that big event at the home tutoring is what finally pushes her over the line. Her recent behaviour suggests she close, I think it's safe to say whenever this big event happens at home tutoring, then look out, every update could be sex-filled after that.

Of course, it has to be logical but the way Ava is looking at Sophia in the picture, makes me think Ava likes Sophia in that very tight top or she is questioning Sophia on her choice of top. So next update won't have sex but I do think we have a clearer idea of when Sophia finally be corrupted.

The only way anything happens in the next update is if the boys blackmail Sophia I think.
