VN Ren'Py A Wife and Mother [v0.201] [Lust & Passion]

[DarthSpitz717]

who knows if at the end of the new event (Dylan/Ellie/Christine), we would have a new alternate scene similar to this one in the post-party hot tub with Dylan and Ellie??

______________________________________++++++++++___________________________________________________

Ummmm no!

We need a shocked and stunned Sophia after the hot tube scene. I would prefer an emotional Sophia go to bed, unable to get to sleep and then decide to have a "talk" with Dylan in the middle of the night. The scene would go something like...:

A confused and emotional Sophia wakes Dyal and starts to apologize....
Dylan confesses is inner feelings and romantically strokes Sophia's cheeks....
They both lay in Dylan's bed talking facing each other. Sophia admits her feelings but professes how wrong it is....
As Sophia talks her usual 'philosophy' and standard 'good wife' speeches we are use too, Dylan starts to touch her....
Dylan takes charge and aggressively kisses Sophia... then we have hot tube Dylan/Sophia 2.0
**this time Dylan fingers Sophia... and then it almost happens, Dylan begins to mount Sophia, but pleads "not now, not like this..."

Scene over but we are left with Sophia realizing having sex with Dylan is a real possibility

That ought to put into play all other events the developer is wanting to put in, the realization Sophia is capable and willing do do x, y and z but now it comes down to will she

Not going to happen. The events with Sophia are over for the Playable Day.

 

[Radoslaw Wolf]

well, in the last day they bonded a lot more....
also there may be alcohol at the party.... and if they are accompanied by Christine on their return, she could give that extra boost to the evening

I'm not saying absolutely nothing's gonna happen between the two, but not the kind of hot scene as with Sophia. I'd be more than surprised.

2nd update of PD14

He asked about Sophia/Sam - isn't the very short event in 1st update of PD14 (as per the Almanach)?

 

[Night Hacker]

You don't need a story for realism...
This is the basis for any story...

Which is it? Do we need a story, or not?!

 

[hu lover]

Games need a good story.

Since the first two events of the day are very short, L&P could potentially combine them into the one update, but since the 2nd event of the day is the Sam event, I'm assuming it will be the 2nd update.

 

[ihl86]

Which is it? Do we need a story, or not?!

As a short answer I don't know if need is the correct word. I don't know if we need a porn game to be anything, it's more about wants here. And for me personally, I definitely want a story. Preferably a good story. If I want to see people fucking, I would watch porn, as porn with real people will always be better than some rendered images in terms of how it looks.


As a longer explanation to my post:

If you don't take my first statement out of context and read the whole sentence I think it's pretty clear.

A translation of what I wanted to say:
"You don't need a story for realism, in the sense, this is how the real world is." = A story doesn't have to respect real world rules. In that sense, a story doesn't need realism. But only in that sense.

The whole point was if we need realism, not if we need a story . And I was at least trying to express that what makes a story realistic, isn't if the real world is following the rules of the story. What makes a story realistic is if it follows it's own rules.
For example, I think Lord of the Rings is realistic. It follows the rules it establishes within its own world. If Frodo could fight and kill anyone and anything in it's path towards Mount Doom, that would not have been realistic. As he was an inexperienced hobbit with no battle experience and no special powers.
Does that mean anyone expects elves or orc or anything else from the books to be present in the real world? No.

If we now move this to the context of AWAM:
If Sophia starts banging everyone she meets from now on, it would not be realistic, as in the world it established, she is not that kind of woman. In fact, because of the playing days I would say AWAM is already leaving the realm of realism it says it want to keep. The amount of lewd activities she did on Friday is extremely high for someone like her. If the events would have been stretched over a few days, maybe a week, it would have made much more sense.

v 0.195 & PD14

In this new update, which is an alternative of Dylan/Sophia part II, we expect to see the Parker siblings bond more following the morning events of PD13. Dylan protected his sister and Christine liked his cheerful mood. He should be able to get some booze for the party and as per LP’s common practice so far this is used to loosen up the Parkers. We should expect a similar-ish outcome to Sophia/Dylan part II. I would say (i.e. speculate) LP may give us the option to see that outcome either with Christine or with Ellie. The next day mother and daughter might want to discuss about Ellie’s relationship with Logan, her possible relationship with Sam (he brought her home by the end of PD12) and/or the evening events of PD13. As per my conversation with LP I get the impression that he wants to speed up things and publish all 3 morning events in 1. Realistically speaking this should be no later than May 2024.

Regarding the outcome of the v 0.195 bear in mind that according to our Almanac:

These are the girls who may bring Dylan to a “happy ending”: Sophia, Ellie, Amber, Marie, Emma, Patricia

Since we already know that the Emma event is going to be eliminated I would change it with Christine. She is in the list with relationship points and the maximum you can get up to Sophia/Dylan part II is 3 points.

What do you mean by "no final save being made"? Were you asked to create a final save at the very end of the game?

I was not asked to make a final save i tried it several times. I am downloading the game again to see if the problem was in my version.
Downloaded 1.50 again loaded up the forlast save and now i got the save message. So yup it was a problem with my older download of 1.5. tnx for the reply.

Let's just go to the horse farm already!!!

 

[PaxHadrian17]

Are you saying L&P dribbled himself off to death with endless branching and pointless characters introduction? If so, then I totally agree. Even though, of all side characters, Emma was the cutest and could be potentially very useful.

I think L&P started Emma's decline prior to becoming a potential LI for Dylan - it started when he moved her from Sophia's classroom to that of another teacher.

Imagine Aiden's tasks playing out where Sophia could have flashed Emma instead of Zack, for example.

While it might have initially shocked Emma, Sophia could have confided in her later about some of what was going on and enlisted Emma's help to give her other options when responding to Aiden's tasks.

If another task involved letting a student touch Sophia's breasts - Emma, knowing some of what is happening with Aiden, could help Sophia and fuel her own lesbian interests (and Sophia's) at the same time.

Emma could have become a more regular visitor to the Parker household to swim and have some girl time, as thanks for her support of Sophia, all while Emma developed and advanced a lesbian crush on her hot teacher.

AWAM held so much potential during the initial 10 PDs, but much of it has been squandered away with the Uber slow development speed.

One offs like the museum guys could have been abandoned in favor of building and maintaining more meaningful story arcs.

To me, L&P does not stand for Lust and Passion - it stands for Lost Possibilities.

Cheers!

I more wonder what might have happened if Emma was invited over when Elena and Jules came over.

That way Emma's content isn't locked behind the Dylan route, because who on the Dylan route is interested in Emma?

Question! What's next?

For all you doom and gloom types, your likely right about Sophia when it comes to Sam and Dylan. Sure you can script the two or three in a scene where they just can't act freely, but generally speaking, it's going to be a long time before either Sam or Dylan get their chance with Sophia. What is left is a chicken verse the egg kind of questions, or what happens first. Does Sam get Sophia first or does Dylan? Is there something else that occurs before them two???

Now here is way this long-drawn-out story has its advantage. Yes, the developer can just rush everything headlong and forget there is any premise of a game--likely not going to happen. Or might the developer opt for a surprise. Patricia is still out there and maybe the developer circles back to her and Sophia going on a museum date with the two college boys and that is where the ice is broken. And if so, should that be the point where things ought to take a turn? Are there another Darkhorse candidates we are forgetting about? And should that be the time and place?

Yes, it's taking forever! But then, if possible routes are killed off because of being impatient for new content, then you are not going to get to see all your favorites get involved.

From a writer's point of view there is just one certainty as to Dylan's route. Dylan hooks up and has his first with Amber. Then he can go after whoever, but in the end he ultimately "consummates" with Sophia. The only script/plot failing with Dylan is Dylan's fantasies. If you are in love, taking your love interest from behind and not missionary to look into their eyes takes away from plausibility.

Personally, from a writing perspective, there is plenty of room to introduce new characters that are a dead-end in themselves but play a factor in other events.

Let's say there is going to be an Ellie/Dylan route. You can bring back some old characters to put Ellie and Dylan in a situation where they become closure... (fixing the computer was a good icebreaker for that possible route) Or you can introduce some new characters that cause Ellie and Dylan to become closer. Same can be said of Sophia. Bring back and older character to give Sophia a moral dilemma, or introduce or expand a background character and use that as a foil like, Tobe.

We all know egg happen way before the chicken.
Fishes and reptiles were roaming the Earth millions of years before first bird.

Can anyone tell me when will be sam update comes...?

Sometime in 2024.But will be short update and nothing major will happen.
Don't expect firther sexual progress for Sam in his next 2 events with Sophia.
What you are looking for will be probably on PD17-so check after 5 years.

It would certainly have been a fun way to spice things up on the Aiden route. One could also consider that maybe the player didn't like Zac and in that case, Emma could have been the one to "help her" with her tasks instead of Zac. Players could have a choice, instead of having to do stuff with Zac.

In the same time, I think, at least at first, L&P had his own story to write and his own ideas where that story wanted to go. Would we have enjoyed a different story more? It is a possibility but everyone will write the story they envision. That is if what is driving them forward to write the story is the vision they have for it and not financial gains or time restrictions. So in the end, we are reading/playing L&Ps story for Sophia.

If I was L&P and I wanted to include more stuff but didn't have the time for them anymore, because the development is already slow and the patrons don't want the time to be spent on side paths I would have chosen to do it in another way:
Write the story I wanted, do only a couple of render for it, just to illustrate very roughly what happened. Make it more like a skippable short story with a few images, that is still in the cannon of the game but doesn't take up that much time. With the option to make it a DLC in the future and extend the content to full on renders IF I ever finished the game and there was interest in it.
Such side routes include Dylan and Emma, the museum guys and so on.

 

[1879]

My thought is either L&P continues the game on the emotional basis where Sophia is always doing something physical but her train of thought is very important. For that, the lyrics would have to be much more and more profound.

Or L&P finally gives her the fucking but he can't take Dylan, Sam or Liam, that would be too cheap.
Let's not forget that in both scenes with Sam and Dylan Sophia mentions how unhappy she is sexually and the scene with Dylan she thinks it's really just about a cock.
So she's ready to do it.
With Sam she got her orgasm with Dylan he got his orgasm. Isn't that a bit selfish?
Although the lesbian aspect of this game isn't that important to me but I would put in a lesbian scene where they both get it done and then a fuck scene with an adult to end their suffering.
It would have quite a few.

Did anyone ever find out what schools Sam and Julia go to? Considering that Julia is internationally well known (at least in the ballet circuit) I assume she'd go to an elite school like Ellie, possibly even the same one.

Sam, since I don't play his route, I'm not sure about.

Sam must be a member of the Tree School.
After all he is always spying on Sophia from the tree house.
