While I probably failed dismally, I wasn't actually meaning to criticise Timestamps, it just happened to be a game I played that was male protag that I personally don't like. Shouldn't stop anyone else playing and enjoying it though.

My only point in mentioning it was it's one of the few games I'm aware of that pretty much has everything people complain AWAM doesn't. Actually has scenes where the son fucks the mother, sister, friend's mother, random chick down the road, etc. With animations. And is finished, so no long waits for updates. There are probably more examples, but after playing games like Timestamps and Big Brother, I gave up on male protag games since they all seem to lack the story I like, that this has.
Most of the game with male protag games are similar, using the same tropes and cliches. Especially incest games.
BB is a good example of how to not to do to write the script. At the same time, the game is still popular, which suggests that the story is not particularly important to many, the main thing is that the characters are named relatives. And no one cares that there is no good story and chemistry between them.
Although it is building relationships that are most interesting.
Now almost half the game has done, and there are not many days left. Therefore, I have no idea how he can fix the long-term feud between the brother and sister, and also direct their story to an intimate level. They will have to accelerate at cosmic speed.
Also for Patricia, they didn't even have some interaction until the last update. The game needs a couple more timeskips to make it look more true. And LP has always strived for realism.

cause its awesome :)



Looks legit to me from what I know

I do like the idea of Dylan seeing Sophia with other guys, I'm all for this, every day should have this :D



I hate timestamps as well, that was a massive disappointment.
what the hell? sure just go ahead and combine them into 1, I posted these 3 separately for a reason. No idea what MOD did it but guess you must have been bored. *eye roll*

if it is true that he has found someone to help him with the dialogues, in 2 people it should not take long; also because the translator may have already started working while L&P was still rendering
It's not a translator he hired, but a proof reader.

On his Patreon site, he said that the person he chose has a background in creative writing (versus someone who writes technical material for ex.) so I'm hopeful that the next rev will 'read' better!

I believe it was to make the dialogue flow more naturally, with American slang, rather than translating from German.

so L&P will keep writing the longer we should wait for the corrector's time?

I understood that he had found someone to help him write to speed things up

Totally agree, my recollection was this trended quickly. Let me look into it for a minute.


OK, I looked. One thing you could look at in determining 'how fast did it become popular' is activity on the site. Even if it's got some (or a lot) of repeat posters, it is still indicative of the overall level of engagement with a project.

Example:
AWAM is #3 for total number of views (I presume visits to the thread), behind Milfy City, released Jan 2018, so ~4 months later than AWAM, and Summertime Saga, released August 2016, ~14 months earlier.

Time is not, apparently a strong indicator of popularity if activity is a guide. Or is it, since I'm only considering the top three out of (thousands?)? Or isn't it, since MILFY City hasn't updated in the last year (and that last year was inconsistent to put it mildly) while Summertime Saga just updated about six weeks ago?

AWAM hit 410 pages (8820 posts) in its first year. Milfy City hit 410 pages in about six and a half months, Summertime Saga took more than a year (16 months) to hit 410 pages.

Does AWAM stack up to other "popular" games in terms of how long it takes to become popular?

AWAM is #22 on this site for number of likes, way behind games that haven't necessarily been around longer but have delivered hard core content much faster and have much shorter intervals between releases.

And none of the supposition takes into account quality and content. Being a DIK is AMAZING by any standard and quick to deliver hardcore content and was a developer with a prior success here. MILFY City, similar (but maybe lower case 'amazing').

Being a DIK was released February 2019 and is currently,
  • #1 in weighted rating
  • #1 in likes
  • #4 all time views and
  • reached 410 pages in four and a half months
Conclusion:
Length of time since initial release is not a predictor or a leading indicator of popularity.
There is one big problem many just decide to ignore.You don't take into account how many posts were deleted from most popular games.
BB,DMD and DOD each have around 50 pages deleted every time when there was a new update back in 2017.Not to mention how many people were banned at that time or their profiles were deleted.
And yes BADIK is not an exception-WVM reached page 400 in only 5 months.
Most of the game with male protag games are similar, using the same tropes and cliches. Especially incest games.

Well if the game was not having incest I bet it will not gather even half of the popularity.Seriously if you delete all scenes with Patricia,Ellie and Dylan that will be more than half of the game.
Of course in that case we will be already much later in the game.

Well, I don’t want to delete incest from the game, the main plot is built around a mom and her two kids. I just want a good story, a nice story. And not some porn-comedy like BB :unsure:
