Coming late to the thread today, it's obvious that a lot of posts have been deleted but the general gist & tenor are still there.
So what have we got that started such a predictable clamour? Two mild teasers, the first one blurred, (even for high-end patrons?) & both in the AWAM tradition of not giving much away. Characters who in both look to be in a slightly different style from how they've appeared in the past but whether this means another artist is at work, we also don't know. We remain ignorant of what the big new development is, although the smart money stays with animations. So, as is also traditional, they raise more questions than they answer.
Now I'd like to recall that the last tme L&P posted a message on this thread, I said it was good to hear from him & that more communication would be welcomed. That's as close as I get to an olive branch. Nothing further happened but I wasn't surprised. L&P hates pirates. That's just a fact & not surprisingly, he doesn't want to talk to them. That's his decision & I can respect it but I don't have to like it. I remember this now because I am tired of the Dev's defenders in post after post appearing to suggest that pirates are akin to the scum of the Earth, with only themselves to blame for all AWAM's & the Dev's associated woes, or is that stance adopted just when it comes to this game/VN? FFS....this is a pirate site. Please understand what that means before casting blanket aspersions. All the righteousness & self-righteousness will make about as much difference to the way things are as this post will.
I have also defended the Dev & his creativity at different times & may well do again, if & when it seems warranted.
Coming back to specifics & the idea that Aiden looks as though he's never seen his girlfriend naked is something I'm not receiving. He looks pleased about what's going to happen, whatever that is & that's how I see it. If it turns out that voyeurism is Aiden's big objective with the blackmail, I will be very disappointed. "Tame" doesn't begin to cover this, bearing in mind we're talking about a young man, not yet in his prime. I won't say more, because I don't think it will be the case & also because I don't really think we're actually going to see all the tasks at the current pace of development & so the criticism begins again....
