Nuh uh, this is now the most interesting conversation in this thread. You were interested enough to respond to Alley Cat, so I'm not sure it's fair to say "I'm responding but don't you respond back."

Until this very moment I never knew "swopping" was a word. But apparently it is, and it is an alternative to the much more common form of "swapping". "Swopping" seems to be entirely a British spelling, so an American audience would never be exposed to it. But if you type in "Swopping sexual partners" into Google you get redirected to swapping. If you're going to use an alternative form for swapping, it would probably be preferable to use "swinging". If my 5 minutes of Googling is representative of the swinging lifestyle, they would only exclusively spell it as "swapping."

So while "swooping" is technically a viable option, if I were proofreading a script and they used that form of spelling I would correct it. "Swopping" is so uncommon that to use it intentionally over the much more common form of "swapping" is an act of protest. Just take a look at the trends in usage:

Ok ok, we're just having fun, but "swopping" was driving me nuts too. I thought it was a typo. Still though, I guess that's an interesting piece of trivia to learn today. Sort of like "grey" vs "gray".

Now, before a mod deletes this bit of fun, let me bringing this all back to AWAM. I'm glad we aren't doing a bachelorette event. This game is already loaded with big events for the upcoming days. Maybe late in the game it would make sense, but for now I would rather see smaller events with Cathy and Andy in order to build their relationship with Liam and Sophia. A bachelorette event would need to take up an entire evening and require lots of extras; it would be a time intensive process that will test L&P's ability to limit himself. If he ever does do it, I think it would easily become the single largest scene he'd create in this game.
Was it annoying you that much?:)

So it's true? The developer started with AWAM and at some point decided to redevelop the game with better graphics and more technical possibilities. Seems to be commonplace in the video game industry (no matter what genre) at the moment. Costs less and still makes a lot of money. This has also often struck me recently in the field of porn games.

It was a process, everything he learned while creating this game showed in the quality of his renders. He didn't redo the old ones, you can see the progress by analyzing the images.

Do you have the link of the "old and original version"? Really want to try this. How far has the developer been with the old version compared to now?

Start the game from the beginning and analyse the quality of the images. L&P did not remaster the old images.

I think we're talking at cross purposes. I'm not interested in the quality of the images. I just noticed that the story progress in the current version has not progressed as far as in the original. So I asked if the original game or the last version of it is still available somewhere.

I don't think I understand what you mean. If you downloaded the game using the links on this site you have the original.
There is another, censored version, Decisions of Life.

There is only one version of AwAm by L&P.
He has "Decissions of life" but that has the incest content removed

OK, that makes sense. Like I said I found at XVIDEOS a Let's Play of AWAM and this scene I never found in the current version:

Alright, 12 playable days are done and 18 remain. The current update is the end of Part 1 of the game. I will still insert that info at the end of it (instead of "to be continued").
So, here are the changes and plans for the near future:
  • Part 2, which I will start very soon, will be much smaller (file size) right away. Your choices of Part 1 will be still valid, of course!
  • Updates will be released from now on after any main event is finished. Which means they will be smaller of course but come out quicker.
  • You will be able to update the game via the menu so that you don't need to download the entire game over and over. The game automatically will download just the new content for you.
The events of the next game day:
Morning:
1) Literature lesson (Aiden's 4th task) + a bonus scene 2) Don Morello (optional)
Noon: 1) Dylan/Ellie Part 1 + Part 2 OR: Dylan comes home from the boarding school for the weekend. What will happen here depends on if the "pool chicken fight" on day 10 took place or not! 2) 2nd side job 3rd day
Afternoon: 1) Sophia/Sam 2) Sophia/Claire/Marie (with Dylan)
Evening: 1) Sophia/Dylan Part 1 2) Sophia/Dylan Part 2 OR: Dylan/Ellie OR: Dylan/Emma
This would mean for the update cycle of this day:
Update 1: The entire morning
Update 2: Dylan/Ellie Part 1 + Part 2
Update 3: Dylan comes home from boarding school
Update 4 : 2nd side job 3rd day
Update 5 : Sophia/Sam
Update 6 : Sophia/Claire/Marie (with Dylan)
Update 7 : Sophia/Dylan Part 1
Update 8 : Sophia/Dylan Part 2
Update 9 : Dylan/Ellie/Christine
Update 10 : Dylan/Emma + rest
I will also give you an event overview of playable day 14 soon!
Furthermore: Next year I will try to look and approach some skilled artist and discuss with him/her a way how to make the scene creation faster, by keeping the artistic quality. The rendering is not the problem, like I already said many times. It's the actual creation of these scenes and adjustments. The only chance I see at the moment would be trusting a total stranger my files and the creation of a part of my scenes on his own responsibility. Also, a professional writer could be a relief because I'm also losing a lot of time at thinking about the dialogues. Two minds would be better here than just one of course.
And last but not least, for all the impatient who only want to see one thing (Liam excluded). Here is a rough outlook:
1st lesbian sex scene with an important character: Within the next 3 playable days
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
3rd big lesbian sex(ual) scene with an important character: Within the next 5 playable days
4th lesbian sex scene with an important character: Within the next 7 playable days
Which of course means that any other sexual practices will happen in betweewn as well!
Very good news. Nice to hear that he is trying to improve the game and time it takes to make it.

I just played the update and it went something like this

My route

Nathalie's event was pretty good, Sophia seems to be thinking about whether she's bi-curious - a big step for the future

I don't have much to say either, not much happened, I left her at the college, Sophia went alone to the hot tub

She went to the meeting with the friends, came home and ended up talking to Liam in bed and finished
