You clearly have a problem with me. That's OK, but did you even read and understand what I wrote? Because you touched on all the points I wrote are nonsense.As per handling a whore - good luck

You definitely have a problem.Haha

Don't try to learn something through porn games or porn videos, experience it in real life.
I have tried to ignore you at the urging of others, but you are saying something very dangerous and wrong.
People like you cause trouble to women in real life.
Go on the right date with the right girl.

If you don't know what the problem is, write down the lines of dialogue you remember from the game here.Haha

I'll tell you right away how sloppy you are.

okay. everything is true. but for a adult vn, its necessary. otherwise there would be no sex or erotica or whatever. it will be just daily routine of a female protagonist.

Oh you can't? So you have just made some bushtit up then. Gee, thanks.
You are like that other guy that kept insisting that stuff is slowing down and then he himself provided numerical prof that actually number of renders produced remained constant throughout years except one time drop.
Are you 10 or something?

I wanted to make a similar point but you were quicker.
It seems to me that nobody expects a '1 to 1' realism in this game (and in any other porn or erotic game). But 'early AWAM' was pretty close to real life dilemmas - contrary to 98% of games here, that on average are as sophisticated as a hammer. And it made the game distinct. Past tense intended.
To me, 'early Sophia' was at least to some extent believable in her 'internal dialogues' and decisions. Today her behaviour fits the logic of a standard porn game but it's not the same. It's a pity, I would say.

That is a valid point, although eventually it had to change, as otherwise we wouldn't have an erotic VN or things would be moving even slower.
I think that to write a "realistic" VN you would need 100s of small step events that would escalate thing to the next step/ phase, followed by another 100s of micro steps escalating another step. Imagine what the length of that script would be like.

Not again...
You yourself provided proof that things are going downhill, and not just a one-time drop in your split. I've been providing you with the yearly amount of renders from 2018 all the way through 2023, and every single year had less renders than the one prior, with the only exception being 2023 due to the last update that year (which was released on January 6th 2024).
Again, just for you!
2018: 2685 renders
2019: 2480 renders
2020: 2328 renders
2021: 1872 renders
2022: 1646 renders
2023: 1123 renders (+ ~760)
The only constant here is a constant downhill ride. So much for your "numerical proof".

Poor little bastard.
Don't you remember any lines?
And there is no benefit to you if you change the topic of conversation to charts.
Everyone has already seen your ignorance.
Read all your replies after this and know that I don't have a problem with you personally at all. I don't even know you, lol.
But I don't know what you're talking about with regard to learning...anything...from this porn game (or any I can think of). That's closer to the exact shit I was referring to as far as mentality so please let me know the lines that you think are not just realistic but worthy of learning from. If you mean all the m'lady kinda shit...don't ever talk like that, lol. Just FYI.
Beyond that, I agree that nobody expects 1:1 realism in what is a dumbass porn game/story. However, my points for a long time now have been:
1) As another poster recently stated, AWAM early on had much more realistic dilemmas than what has been written since.
2) L&P claims their dumbass porn story to be more realistic and "higher art" than other dumbass porn stories so I hold it to the standard they claim necessitates a 30 year dev cycle.
3) With just a little bit more effort and actual experience, dev's COULD write more realistic stories. Using cliche after cliche and trope after trope is due to laziness and inability, not that porn stories have to be so comically unrealistic by default. People have sex. We all got here from sex. It's not as mystical and rare as the people I'm referring to think it is or treat it as. People fuck, lol.
That's all. I'd question the reasoning of anyone that heard that and disagreed.
Edit: for grammatical/spelling errors and added one line I forgot to add.

Nailed it. I was going to reply to them directly as they are a poster I have respected for a while now but you nailed it.
Nobody expects 1:1 but this dev claims a higher quality, so much so that they need 30 years to properly tell their dumbass porn story...so everyone should expect it.
Betond that, early AWAM absolutely was more realistic and had more believable dilemmas than the stuff released over the last few years. Still porn story stuff but in there was some admittedly higher level stuff.
I shit on AWAM and L&P because it's wasted potential more than anything. They CAN make good product and instead choose to be greedy, self-centered and egomaniacal while releasing less and less that's worse and worse rather than finishing this story.
Since that early work (for me around the subway scene with the goons)? Almost universally awful work, writing, decisions and actions at every step. A shame really.

That's exactly my main problem with AWAM besides the massive disrespect he throws at his patrons (i used to be one like many on this thread).
The potential at the start was immense but L&P just wasted a lot of it and now it starts to look like a badly written porno with Dylan as a second MC

There he is
I know numbers are hard, we established that.
Also, as someone else also pointed out, if you only consider part 2 the work is actually speeding up slightly.
I know, a shocker.
You can argue that you don't like how fast the story progresses, I have no problems with that, but you simply can't say that L&P does not develop the game. The numbers don't lie! There was only one time the number dropped significantly (2021), and as we established this was around time when he changed the render.
The increase in time between the updates is due to more content contained in a single PD and not lack of game development.
If you still think this after seeing the numbers you are ignorant or don't understand what I am talking about.
Hey mate, just to clarify I had no problem with your earlier statement. I understood the point exactly and it got its merits. Absolutely.
I was only wondering if the execution as you have envisioned would be feasible, that's all.
Should have been more clear.

Well, there are (rare) examples of 'close to reality' erotic games. I do not want to mention their names, for obvious reasons. And I do not think that in order to speed up the things the dev had to abandon his (her) original assumption about the 'classy female protagonist'.
Of course, it would be not that easy (I mean the combination of corruption and some glimpses of realism). But we are taking about the game which was supposed to be exceptional, outstanding in terms of the story. Maybe the dev created too high expectations? Because I believe that AWAM is still a good game, anyway. But not exceptional or outstanding one. It's just like tens of other games here.
Ok, I understand your point and would even go so far as to say a direct, full-realism story probably cannot be made in Daz/Renpy. Or any VN medium. That's probably left for actual video.There he is

The rest of what I said stands and, while not asking for total realism, I would love for a dev to go beyond the lazy tropes.
But I see your point and, again, I have no issue with you or anything.
Does anyone know how to get Sam's scenes? I've tried everything and followed the walkthrough but I can't seem to quite get it.

You completely ignore the fact that these numbers, apart from the last year, have always gone down, never up. That's exactly what a downhill ride is. I don't expect numbers to be always the same, but when they always go down, that is a clear indicator of things getting slower. Your average doesn't change that.
The only reason for the currently slight upward trend is Dylan+Sophia part 02 at the beginning of 2024. If it wasn't for that update, it would have been another year with less renders than the one prior (as every other year in the numbers provided). There's a reason he's beating his negative records pretty much on annual basis. Would be nice if he could keep it up, but every single year prior to 2023 has shown the opposite. Which again, you can see in the overall drop in renders per year.
Also, the person you're referring to clearly told you that the game's development is getting slower right before he's made that statement, which you obviously ignored. It's the same person who's made the original graph, the one you took and edited. Talcum Powder
I never said L&P isn't developing the game.
The numbers don't have to drop significantly to indicate a downward trend. They dropped every single year for 5 years straight. Also, that's not when "renders changed". L&P's been increasing the quality of his renders all throughout the development until he hit a wall with DAZ, which was basically around ~2020-2021. You keep insisting that 2021 was somehow a massive change in quality and thus slower development, but on the other hand you've made your own portrait comparison in which you pointed out that the time required to create your art stays the same, only difference being the amount of experience/skill and thus it's outcome (higher quality). And in L&P's case, that would be even more accurate as he has tools like AI and a massive DAZ library at his disposal, meaning even less time required to create better quality.
That's just straight up nonsense. L&P releases on event-basis, this has got absolutely nothing to do with producing less renders per year. You're mixing up time per PD (amount of content/volume) and renders/day.
See above. Dunking on yourself again.
