You can interpret a mischievous look or the creepy smile of a psychopath into this facial expression. L&P should really invest more time in the faces of the main male protagonists.
Male protagonists? Here I thought Sophia was the protagonist, and a woman. At least that's what the intro says. Gender is so confusing these days

wow, for45 percent over 9 months. and only 10 daysbreak. the whole day will be finished in about 18 mon,ths. 16 days of play a 18 months is 286 months . it is 24 years for the end of game.
And even in 24 years it will still have the best renders of this industry

v0.150 - 20 Nov
v0.160 - 13 Apr
v0.161 - 24 May
v0.165 - 11 July
v0.170 - 23 or 24 August ( estimated)

v0.161 was the same date as this release more or less.
So, we should, or at least hopefully, are looking at two more updates in 2022. First update (0.175) end of September and beginning of October and next update end of November/beginning December (.180). Always a chance he tries to squeeze a 3rd update but since he's doing animations in .180 I think 2 updates is most likely. Not bad for 1 year, not bad at all. Essentially, ALL of Part 2 this past year which is a pretty good body of work considering animations have been implemented.

I think it was fixed in May but during a long time links in the OP here weren't up to date. If you know how to do, you can apply the patch you'll find here. When it will be done, you'll have to generate again your final saves in AWAM1. You don't have to replay the full game, just load a save and play till you're asked to generate a final save. If there is any error message, screenshot it.

If you're not comfortable with patch installation, you'll have to re-download the game but I'd like to be sure Mac links in OP are ok and it's not easy because I don't have a Mac.

Another easy solution (without downloading anything) would be to install your AWAM1 in /applications directory and not /private.
I did the patch thingy.. and contd game until it asked me to save.
Then it gives me this error.

It's all down to personal opinion but this game has far better renders..
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
It hasn't "better renders" but way better "textures" of the characters because he’s using Gen 8 while almost all of L&P’s characters are old gen 3 models. The render itself and its lighting is totally basic! That a character has better textures is not the merit of the dev of the game but rather the dev of the character model itself!

A Wife and Mother - Combined Edition v0.170

This is a crunched version of A Wife and Mother version 0.170, which includes the complete Part 1. That means you can play the game from the beginning or just import your old save files without any issue. If you don't like the crunched low quality images, you can just put and replace the HQ images from v0.150, 0.160, 0.161, 0.165, 0.170

Do I have to download part 1 before part 2, or is part 1 already incorporated in part 2? If it's the former, do you mind hooking up the link? :>>

I guess the patch isn't installed properly. How many final_export.rpy have you in your game folder and where are they located exactly?

I don't think that the lighting is totally basic as you said, it's what that shot requires to have a natural look, it's daylight where everything is illuminated. Still you can see some natural contrast in her face, her left side is more illuminated than her right one because the light comes from the window, not too much because is daylight.

In this other angle you can appreciate the lighting scheme more, which isn't totally basic and it contains the blinds
weft over her skin, given us a pleasant image, something that not many devs plays with.

View attachment 2017961

Maybe in a night shot you can appreciate the effort of that dev better:

View attachment 2017956

By the way, that dev doesn't use color filters, nor flares, it's clearly that he prefers a natural look, not too photoshopped.

When one of his renders has a fancy color it's because that color is given by the lights of the location:

View attachment 2017986

Still I think he could improve in terms of continuity, in the same scene some shots look more illuminated than others and sometimes the lighting could look simple in some of them.
I wouldn't call these bad renders. But there is nothing about them that i find out of the ordinary. The lighting if compared to any of L&P's renders seems very basic and it there just because it should be and not to enhance the visual quality. All of L&P's renders have an atmosphere to them whereas here we see quite a bit of inconsistency in that regard. A major part if the above renders feels like it is all the programs work and not that the dev meticulously focused on them. Not using Photoshop could also mean the person either doesn't know PS and doesn't intend to learn or just wants to save time. Because it is a highly renowned fact that Photoshop can be used to greatly enhance renders.

I don't follow you, what do you mean by basic render? That sounds like renders with lack of effort.

Explain me why this render



is supposedly more basic than this one. (similar shot, similar location)

View attachment 2018068

I didn't want to compare but it seems that you used the term basic to underestimate the work of that dev.
Sorry but these two renders are very different from each other. The above render of that dev relies entirely on the models face ( which as mentioned above is a G8 model ) and not on the lighting effects. Add to that you chose one of the worst renders of the entire scene with Sam to compare. Look at this render. And we all know we can pick over a 100 renders in any 200+ render scene which looks great purely because of the effort in lighting posing and expressions.
