No way in hell. If anything the side jobs should be scrapped altogether (they wont though, I know). Adding another side job would only delay progression of the story unnecessarily
Both side jobs are easily avoidable content, and there is no reason to believe a third would be any different. If your concern is the development cycle slowing down well I'm afraid that ship has already sailed. Thanks for the answer, though. You do make a good point. It made me wonder if the optional side jobs, simply by virtue of being avoidable, are incapable of advancing the plot. I'm not certain that this is the case but I would like to hear other opinions on this concept.

The only way a third side job should be added is by ending the first two. Use the third job as an opportunity to condense the story and get everyone onto the same routes.

Discussion prompt incoming

Since the consensus was that Sophia's second part-time job was abominable, do you think that she should have a third option? What do you guys think it should be and what fetish should it unlock? For my part, I think it should be the offer of modeling at Liam's agency just so she could see the bullshit he gets up to when he thinks she isn't around. Maybe this will cause her to realize she is more down with the idea of him being with other women than she thought or just give her the opportunity to slap his stupid face.
I suggested this a long, long time ago as a replacement for both side jobs. So did several other thread participants, at different times. My suggestion was meant in a positive light, with opportunities for sexy outfits, stunning poses, flirtations, affairs, foreign travel & a more Audrey Hepburn-like existence. It had an emphasis on glamour, fun & fashion. It went the way of all thoughts on this thread.

Still, on the positive side, we've still got two old men or a bunch of shota kids to interact with. Whoopppeeee.

Neither the dress nor the concert are important.

What will be important is how excited Sophia will be. Either because something happens to her or because she sees something exciting. ;)

I can understand the point of view of L&P that Sophia doesn’t have sex right away with other people, we’re on a path of corruption. :cool:

But that it would have been so profitable for the game to have other characters who had hot scenes that Sophia could have observed, or heard... :unsure:

The first sexual relationship occurs after 2100 images out of 9500 :rolleyes::sleep: at 3275 (Amber & Neil 1175 pix later >>> yippee)

Patricia could have fucked one or two guys, Sam could have brought a girlfriend back to his room and made on purpose to fuck her with the curtains open to excite Sophia, Adien could have caressed Jennifer and whispered to Sophia that she was next...

Even on the first day on the plane, she could have heard a couple fuck, and be excited.

I am not lacking in ideas on this theme. :sneaky:

San Alejo is a boring city in fact, everyone teases everyone, nobody fucks.

After that it’s not the story L&P wants to tell, he does what he wants, but I am so so so bored.

So I hope that from now on things will finally move forward about Sophia and the others...
You're right, as usual;), but I think it's about saving time and resources. If he introduced such scenes he would need new characters or scenarios. Some erotic dreams, normal in such situations, are missing maybe for the same reason.

For all your pessimism, AWAM remains different! This is a fact.
You probably need to lower your expectations a little and everything will get better.
I fully understand such a philosophy & have been forced, through inescapable RL, to practice it every day of my existence for at least the last 21 years. It's a good, sound philosophy & has helped me immensely, not least in maintaining a level of sanity. I even recommend it to others, if I think it would help....BUT wait....enough RL.

I originally played AWAM for escapism & soon came to realise that it was something special. When I see it degenerating into just another teenage fantasy-fest, I react, partly because it's my favourite game. One ludicrous costume does not spoil a VN but I see it as the latest manifestation of a creeping malaise.

I've never at any time called the Dev nasty names because, what would be the point of juvenile behaviour, when the very thing I'm criticising is the dumbing-down that's been gradually, at times almost imperceptibly, occurring? I'm not asking for 'the great visual erotic novel of the 1st quarter of the 21st century' & have never expected it! I simply wish that L&P would reboot his original vision for AWAM. That's the one outlined in the Patreon mission statement/blurb. That's the one that raised my expectations to a probably unrealistic level in the first place.

They'd better hope they can but age isn't kind..... Still, it may be that neither has a medical condition that prevents them from taking Viagra. They have the wisdom not to take a Dylan-sized dose!

By the way...

Patricia thinks Sam’s cute. She wants to fuck him. Sophia, protective (but in fact jealous) offers Sam to go somewhere together. First kiss.

Interrupted as every time by a passerby, a cyclist, a pigeon (not this time, but a seagull), ...
When Patricia sees how she's dressed, she'll realise Sophia has a hidden agenda.
Patricia is the smart one

I played this game half and years ago. That time game was amazing, really liked it a lot. I thought dev will bring some more intense scene. But MC playing basketball, swimming with little boys and then goes to old care center but nothing more serious. I don't what's going on this game right now it becomes so big and after long time gameplay at the end if find some teasing scene then i just question myself why i even played this game. Please anyone have played this game recently please tell me is it worth to try now and what's going on in the end.

Your expectations are too high, you will be disappointed. I don't mean that in a derogatory way. But as I wrote earlier, we can only hope for individual scenes that meet our expectations of an adult game. And by that I don't mean the fuck scenes but the story up to then and beyond. For me, however, this game has still spoiled many other games in terms of story structure and emotional logic. And I think that will continue to be the case. And who tells us that the current course of the game is not very close to the planned one. As for the blackmail routes, of course ... I'm sorry for you now ;).

It seems like forever ago that KillJoy was accused of stanning for L&P. How things have changed
Could Killjoys be a bot account created by you to fool people into thinking you're really Killjoys while GingerSweetGirl is really a separate spy account for L&P's second in command Nexer who really is a Bane71 dupe account? :unsure:
