As in many good stories, even with a clear main character, it makes sense not to limit the story solely to one perspective. For AWAM, as a story about "A wife and mother", this certainly includes to present the intentions and actions of Sophia's immediate family (Dylan, Ellie and Liam). This gives the story more depth and makes it possible to depict entanglements that Sophia is not yet supposed to know about. In particular, Dylan's perspective is valuable here, as much of what makes up his progress also influences how he relates to Sophia. For example, it is interesting for the player to know that besides Sophia/Sam, also Dylan/Amber have something going on, even if Sophia is not allowed to know about it, because this could allow Dylan to accepting it easier what is going on between Sophia/Sam, if he would find out. What makes little sense in AWAM, in my opinion, are the many side stories of unimportant characters like especially the two additional side jobs, but also the movers, the postman, a spa with so many useless characters, the thugs (with patricia's really weird gun interlude), the fittness guys, or Aiden's task with all his many useless side charakters (even a group of a 2nd class beside sophia actuall class), etc., etc. All these stories wasted AWAM years of development, without really bringing depth to the game. Dylan, Ellia and Liam, on the other hand, are interwoven into the story and should have more attention. What AWAM lacks almost completely, for example, are interactions between Liam and his children. It would be an interesting contrast, if he eventually realizes what is going on between Dylan/Sophia, Ellie/Sophia or Sophia/Sam at some point in the story. Liam is the only actual cuck that could be in the game, btw.
All of this has logic to it. I say this despite the concept having no immediate appeal to myself, although I do think that Liam has become an average oedipal teen porn stereotype & could be utilised in a better way. Who knows, it could even be the case that focussing on the immediate family is the way the Dev plans to take AWAM forward on Steam, or even 'speed up' development.

On the other hand, L&P launched a multi-faceted erotic story containing many plot-lines & sub-plots, with a title that proclaimed only one cast member could be the MC. There seemed to be something for everybody & the wide-ranging series of characters & events neatly pushed back the boundaries of the close family found in other games of this type.

It was when story-lines began to overlap, characters proliferated & kinks became duplicated, (including 3 distinct strands of incest), that AWAM began to sprawl & get out of hand. I've stated my view before that I believe that it was easier to continuously introduce new characters & scenarios, than it was to tell the main stories. None of this need have mattered so much, (if at all), had the pace of development been faster. Indeed, it could even have been used to advantage, if more consequences had ensued from people & plots that in practice ended up as dead ends, with the whole project moving at a snail's pace. I agree that's where much work & time were wasted but I'll maintain this didn't have to be the case.

Once introduced, sundry secondary characters & plots caught the interest of followers, to the extent that calls to officially abandon any of them generate controversy & disappointment. As an example, using only my own POV, I agree with the general superfluousness of much of the cast list & sub-plots you mention but by no means all. We all have our favourites, or in my own case, I did, until AWAM became a story concerned mainly with Sophia's regression to a teenaged mindset & how to progress her incest. Especially problematic IMO, are the side jobs & I also found the gun episode strange. This latter incident, however, has the caveat that the thugs are set to return, (it seems probably in the 2040s?), seeking revenge? Again, it's the Dev's practice of leaving loose ends which may or may not be progressed, decades from now. Questions of whether this is any way to tell a story are always likely to occur, for me anyway.

Many of the secondary characters & sub-plots have effectively been written out IMO. Lack of communication ensures that fans don't really know which ones but in the case of, e.g. Nathalie, not due back until 2035, we can have a good guess & who now remembers Alyssa? I also think that having constructed the Aiden task plot & progressed it smoothly, even including a get-out for fans who didn't like blackmail, (I'd like more of those for other kinks), it has been put on hold for 6 years, (which would be an effective write-out if this were a true soap opera), having suffered from a needless, unrealistic, immersion breaking & disruptive scene at the gang HQ. I wonder if he'll be back.

It used to be the case that criticism of any kind would draw fanboy comments along the lines of, "Stick to your vision Dev," "Ignore the haters," etc. I am no hater. Hate is a powerful emotion not to be wasted on ephemeral average teen porn. There are times though that I do wish the Dev had stuck to his vision....his original one that is.

None of these teasers is actually a teaser… everything published so far was more or less predictable from the moment v185 ended. Let’s see if tonight LP will publish something more interesting :unsure:
friend, this event is not sam,aiden and ellie event to expect interesting teasers and hottest events. It's Dylan Events so we have to ignore boring events like this and wait until PD 14's morning events. Until then we have to play the Sam,Aiden and Ellie events again or we have to be active/busy in other games until PD 14 morning events come.:confused::(

Aren't Dylan's upcoming events as hot as Sam's? :oops: I subscribed this month. This is my first time supporting this game. This event will not be a sex-ed event like the part 1 event and I think this event will be very hot.:unsure::)

No one knows if this event is a sex education event or not.

And your writing smells fresh and young.

I hope you are not too young.


And

I don't want to say anything about you sponsoring and not sponsoring someone, but I hope you weren't sponsoring out of impatience.
Guys last event was a bit boring, I like incest but I'm not a fan of sex-ed.
Thank you for replying to my post. So, will the next Sophia/Dylan part 2 be a normal event like part 1? So, it seems best that we don't hold any expectations on this next Dylan event.

L&P said that this event will be a 'hot' event between Sophia and Dylan - something along the lines of Dylan would catch up with Sam.

Since you are a new supporter, I will simply offer - by supporting the dev with $, you can and should give the dev feedback on Patreon - be fair and as unbiased as you can be - offering what I like to call pro-con-pro feedback.

Tell him what you like about his creation thus far as well as what you would like to see improved/better addressed and favorites for the future.

A common concern on this thread is the very slow speed of development. If you are brand new to the AWAM universe, there is a lot of good/great content to enjoy until you compete what is now available.

The challenge is keeping that fire of interest going once you are done with all the current content, and you find yourself waiting for each new piece of one PD (we are on PD 13 out of what we've been told are 30 PDs - playable days).

I'll be honest with you here. I am a former supporter and I stopped supporting due to the extremely slow development speed of the dev (there are other reasons but this is the biggie). He does good to great work, particularly in the quality of his renders, IMO. But - the general consensus on this thread is that AWAM, if it is ever completed, will not reach that status until the 2040's or 2050's.

Cheers! :coffee:

Some of us dropped the support months ago. And I believe the milking will never change until Patreons fucking start demanding it.
Good support it, say i won't pay for korean drama. The only reason L&P is doing this is because people are supporting it. Time to end the game and move on, life is short.
