There's a poll for 30 patrons "Last little spoiler teaser yes or no?"
If I remember correctly, L&P wrote he had 43 pages of text waiting to be translated before he completed the PS work. I can also assume he must have them before hand in order to give facial expresiions, gestures, postures etc. to the characters in scenes.You are assuming a script exists before CS/RS which is looking less and less certain.
For "Legend Patrons" and its for the Sophia/Dylan event and could be released on the 28,but going by his last lot of teasers I don't expect much.There's a poll for 30 patrons "Last little spoiler teaser yes or no?"
Hmmm... I think you're assumption is more a leap of faith. Ask yourself: How do an expected 450 renders become 997? If the 43 MS Word pages existed in their entirety before he started creating and rendering then where did all the extra expressions, gestures, postures come from for the additional 457 images? It doesn't add up, unless there were MAJOR additions/revisions during the CS process.If I remember correctly, L&P wrote he had 43 pages of text waiting to be translated before he completed the PS work.

It is a teaser correct. So in the braod definition he could release a blank page and that would be the tease, to keep all in suspense. I prefer the NO SPOILER concept. Keep everything under wraps until release. Just my preference.For "Legend Patrons" and its for the Sophia/Dylan event and could be released on the 28,but going by his last lot of teasers I don't expect much.

I would agree, but that should have been applied to Aiden's event since that was the major event. This one should have been the one with the teaser from the start.It is a teaser correct.

DOH! Great 'Frozen' Balls of Fire. Wait! What is the weather in Germany now. Crap, I lost my National Weather Service bookmark. AHHHHHH!"Suddenly a blinding snowstorm hit San Alejo"
Actually I consider this coming update a Strategic defeat as well. L&P supposedly wanted to show that he can get the updates into a steady flow and more importantly, show that the game would be finished in a lengthy, but predictable time frame.I agree in the sentiment that it does not appear to be what we want. And definitely the production rate is not helping matters. I will give youa thought. In my mind a Stategic defeat is like what players of Foot of the Mountain experienced. The Dev dumped a cut scene to end the game (for all intents he abandoned the game). That is Strategic to me. We are in an Operational defeat.
If you had not gone all personal on this I would say you have good points. Instead you lost me at "comatose slug". Just Sayin.Actually I consider this coming update a Strategic defeat as well.

What happened and is happening, since the fracking "quick" update is still in the works, is that this comatose slug of a developer had far less work to do for the new update than the former ones, but "succeeded" in having this update being even SLOWER in development than before.
And this is not the worst, the Dev had the audacity to call the predictions of a member, I think it was bayrischman, who stated early on that he predicts an update not before June since the Dev was a Schnecke from the start, openly ludicrous! What is now? A June update at best and the Dev is silent on the prediction now, shamed be he who thinks evil of this!
"Great" work by L&P, a smaller update with longer development time than ever for the amount of content in it! It might even be the only update in 2021 considering the accelerated (the only thing L&P "quickened") slowing down of pace.
I had been very sceptical well before this update about L&P, but now I am convinced that AWAM will end like "Foot of the Mountain" or "Forgotten Paradise" with a tacked on, underwhelming ending, because the Dev is completely unable to deliver anything in an acceptable timeframe.
I would call this a major Strategic defeat, because L&P succeeded splendidly in eroding any trust in his abilities to deliver the whole game still in our lifetime. You have to be deluded to believe an erotic game with a predicted end date in the 2030s(!), considering the Dev makes slugs look like racers, will be finished.
Pardon me, but what would you call this? If he really is, as his defenders stated repeatedly, "working his ass off" then he has a very serious problem of a different kind, because the ratio between size of updates and time needed for them is beyond good and evil.If you had not gone all personal on this I would say you have good points. Instead you lost me at "comatose slug". Just Sayin.
Calling L&P a "comatose slug" does not strengthen your argument or make him look bad. Instead it just makes people, even those who would agree with many of your points, roll their eyes.Pardon me, but what would you call this?

I don´t know of the cuff which member posted the average number of L&P´s renders per day, but it is very low for someone of his skill in DAZ and hardware available. Even hobby artists with household PCs can beat his number at comparable quality, just look at some of the fanart.
So this leaves us with three options: a) His work process and time managment is terminally flawed (because it WILL break his projects neck sometime in the future), to loose this much time, b) he is a milker, stretching time as much as he can or c) he is a comatose slug due to overfocussing, who should read his compatriot H.H. Gossen´s famous work on diminishing returns ASAP.
I did not use this metaphor to strengthen the argument (my arguments have enough merit in this situation on their own) or make him look bad, but a description of how it looks to us on the outside and to shake L&P up, how he comes across. And considering the jokes in the thread, just look at the one just above, I am not the only one seeing it as it is.Calling L&P a "comatose slug" does not strengthen your argument or make him look bad.

No teasers are necessary or needed. Complete waste of time at this point.It is a teaser correct.

Last I heard, yes.(record scratching sounds are heard as my head jerks about in a genuine double-take)
Wait, please clarify: are you saying that there are only 35 images for Dylan/Emma, out of 997 total for this update?
