2 months x 10 evens = 20 months. How is this better? Disjointed, updates that leave many fans out in the cold, and no faster than before. Yeah the fail is moving to EPIC. I am more and more aligning with GingerSweetGirl s concerns of 'it could have been'.
I'll say this, updates around this time of year are always weird. While I don't think anything will substantially change, I think we'll have a better gauge of things for update #2. Get beyond the craziness of the holidays, and let's see how things go. If updates are still taking 7 weeks, we'll know we're doomed.

Sure he could pick a chump. Or maybe one of the many artists presenting in Fan Art thread (or equivalents). There are many that are skilled. Oooooh yeah he could ask westpod ha ha ha! How many other productions are teams? AND how many of these do much higher production rates? Oh and it is something from over a century ago. A dude named Henry Ford - division of labor and the production line. OH MY what a thought. Yeah never gonna happen!
But, my friend, how can you be confident that a real master will accept the invitation and decide to provide assistance to L&P, while leaving the projects in which he is currently participating?
I personally doubt that 3D professionals are sitting around waiting for an invitation from L&P, not to mention that AWAM is not just a piece of art, it is a porn game with some rather dubious twists!
Definitely, not every 3D master would like to participate with such a project.

Not talking about other aspects of teamwork, I just want to end this discussion. I am perfectly aware that, unfortunately, I will not find understanding here.

I would be quite surprised that the MANY artists, that do just part time fan art through the many different threads here, inhabiting F95 would not have at least one interested in shifting gears and trying their hand. However, If he wants to poison the well, all he needs to do is be the same person I conversed with and they would run. Not out of fear but, desire to avoid a Scrooge (Timely reference).

I believe between his paranoia to maintain his assets and his arrogance at his "incredible" skill that I have little faith he will find a assistant for the art. Just a note Bane71 he ain't Michelangelo, Rembrandt, or that Van guy that had an ear issue. He is better than many others but, you and I have seen the work in the fan art thread and there are many artists there just as capable. Would they want to put up with him is the question.

I don't quite agree with you there. At most that Sam has once again pulled his alcohol trump card on her. And that's getting a bit trite and ridiculous if he keeps getting her around like that. For me, it's about the short time that Sam was able to go so far with Sophia. At the last date, still, a bit of dreaming and gushing, just barely showing the areola. Again with the influence of alcohol. And now, a few days later, she gets involved in such fireworks of sexual acts? Come on! Even with a little alcohol, she should still be able to think a little clearer. She must expect Liam or her children to suddenly appear. She can also be watched by Sam's parents. The jacuzzi is free-standing, with no privacy screen.
But clear. When you say ... Sophia was so intoxicated by his come-on because she's no longer in control of her senses from a glass of champagne... then, yes, you can't take her seriously anymore. With Aiden, unfortunately, alcohol was also involved in the 3rd task. I hope L&P finally lets go of the alcohol. Sophia should finally think clearly like with Dylan and make her reasonable decisions with all her Li.
You only picked one of the points I made regarding why Sam was able to do what he did. Alcohol. Ignoring factors like she has been on edge for so long, constantly been teased, her body must be longing for such pleasurable intimate touches. It is not a coincidence that she hardly is able to get any relief on any route. L&P is doing this intentionally so it plays a factor. Plus Sophia was able to stay to keep her control until she actually locked lips. A kiss is supposed to feel good, melt you down. And while in the moment she gave in. If you think that a kiss does not have any effect and one can easily just stop it then you have the choice of stopping it. Personally I believe it does have a strong effect.

You are using the same logic that I hate most. That one character did this much last time but was able to achieve this much the next time. The situation matters to me. There has been enough build-up on the Sam route and nothing short of a kiss was ever going to be accepted. The rest of the things that happen as I said weren't part of what Sophia wanted.

Alcohol was there in the Aiden event too. But there not a single dialogue emphasizes that what is happening is happening because of alcohol. In the Sam event there is clear Statement that Alcohol is playing a factor. They are two different things.

Liam or anyone couldn't just stand right infront of Sophia out of nowhere. No matter who enters the house. He or she will have to turn on the lights first, which is an immediate indicator which was also used. Neil and Amber weren't home either I believe. And even if they make an appearance how many parents to you know who peep of over high walls of their neighborhood to look for their son without even calling out his name first to check if he is nearby.

I too would wish alcohol is reduced as a factor and only comes into play for scenes where it actually makes sense. Not for plot convenience.

Exactly, my friend, the question!
And, unfortunately, there are a lot of questions!
My thought is that creating a team and teamwork is not something I object to, I have no objections, it is something that is very difficult to do. This requires the diversion of considerable effort and time of L&P from its main occupation.

AWAM has gained considerable popularity and I really hope in this regard that some worthy 3D master will turn to L&P with an offer of cooperation. But I think that despite the fact that I really like the work of some fans in the fan art branch, few of these guys can really help L&P.

See if L&P had started with a smaller more focussed storyline, and completed it, then he would be in a perfect position to follow on prequel or sequel stories set in San Alejo focussing on some of the other characters. Then there would be no need to have "DLC" - it would just be a follow on branching story after main story completed.
So, we agree? LOL

I didn't say it's better than the last two updates, I just think it's weird math when folks are saying seven weeks = two months.

With regards to GingerSweetGirl's comments, I am in total agreement. AWAM could have been really amazing but it's quickly (ironic?) spinning out of control. So many different variants, characters are more and more incongruent as the stories move forward in different directions and at different rates.

Considering the frequency with which the author uses the alcohol factor, Sofia will become an alcoholic whore by the end of the game.
It's a common plot device. Most corruption games use some kind of drug or gas or magic power to raise the libido of their characters to make a girls transformation from prude to slut more believable. Booze in AWAM is filling that same function here.

I'm still worried the dev doesn't know how to make a good sex scene. So far all that's in the game is teasing and foreshadowing. These are very important for building up a scene but to much can leave the pay off feeling like it didn't live up to the hype.

Or... she will see an opportunity and on the ranch day, with Patricia, will actually scope out some vineyards and start her own brand. The 'Sealed with a Kiss' chardonnay that storms the market.

She pays off Liam's debt and then maintains her new home in the country where she has a cottage for Alyssa and Killjoys while she and I go pick grapes. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!

No, that's not my way of thinking that one character gets further than the other. It's not about an envy debate for me here. That a French kiss has a strong effect on the senses is already clear to me. But we are not talking about a 17 year old girl who jumps into the yacuzzi with her same-aged neighbor to make out.

We are talking about Sophia, a mid-thirties, still happily married woman and mother. Yes, she's a "little" underfucked right now. But that's no reason, in my opinion, that L&P should allow more than a French kiss. The options here moving forward don't fit Sophia and Sam's current relationship (yet) in my opinion. What do you mean enough has been built up with Sam? Do you mean the last pool event by that? That was a good build up for you for the yacuzzi event? Really? For me, I think the proportionality doesn't fit here.

What follows now in the next event? It will continue where it left off here, right? So he will probably finger her and take off her blouse to suck directly on her nipples. Maybe a HJ will follow already? I can imagine it after the last event. Because he can't take a step back with Sam now anymore. It's moving pretty rapidly to sex now. Or what do you think?

I just imagine myself as a happily married husband and father hopping into the yacuzzi with my 17 year old neighbor.... also as always underfucked :ROFLMAO: ... just the thought of it being at my house would prevent me from allowing anything here. The risk that I'm caught with the girl would be too big for me. Because if the blood runs into my cock, I can no longer think clearly and do not get that somewhere in the house a light turns on ... ;)

Am I wrong or was L&P himself saying he needs it?
No, you are not mistaken, he said.
Moreover, I know that he has been making attempts to cooperate with different people for a long time.
But that doesn't change the fact that it's not easy, which is what I talk about all the time.
It is not impossible, but it is difficult, especially given the attitude of L&P towards their project. But I do not consider myself entitled to reproach him, since everyone is free to manage his project at his own discretion.

I have a question, and I could be completely wrong, so correct me if I am.

The purpose of switching from 1/3 day updates to per-event updates was to provide faster updates. But If I'm not wrong, the 1/3 day updates consisted of three events, and the updates took about 5 months. Considering that we'll now be getting an update not before 2 months, which makes 6+ months for 3 events, hasn't the development cycle slowed down instead of accelerating?
