Among the posts, this word touched my heart.

Anyone who started this game in their teens with their own fantasy will age that way without ever fulfilling their desires.

It is the same for people in their 20s and older.

And Sophia should be the only main character in this game.

No matter how good the Avengers Assemble movie is, it should be used very occasionally.

No matter how good "Hulk" is, "Hulk" should not take up more footage in a movie starring "Iron Man."
For "Hulk," the director has to make his own movie.

This only confuses the audience, destroys the story, increases the workload and slows things down.

All characters except Sophia should be sub-characters and should only play the role of the NPC so that Sophia's story can proceed.

The point I'm trying to make is that Sophia/Dylan/Ellie/(Liam) are the main story. It's not just about Sophia. It is therefore wrong to pretend that events presented from Dylan's perspective steal Sophia's story. Rather, Dylan offers a part in the story of AWAM.

Also, I would not call Sophia passive. It's just that she's portrayed as a character who doesn't act out of her own motivation and thus functions poorly as an MC on her own. That Dylan works better here at the moment is, in my opinion, mainly because he is pursuing his own goals. This was already the case from the very beginning. Take the basketball game or the swimming lesson as examples. In both events, it was Sophia who only reacts while Dylan and Sam have an interest in Sophia which they pursue and even start a competition due to it (including Dylan's first decision about how to handle Sophia's interaction with other guys). I don't know which day it was, but the game didn't turn around as you depicted. It is just a very slow build-up, because there are to many side stories.
I feel that, since the game is called "A Wife and Mother", there should not be a problem having Dylan or Liam take over temporarily as the MC, as long as the story revolved around Sophie in some way.

That's a fair point but the problem for some of us is that we're not just having occasional different POVs but Dylan is an official "2nd MC" & designated so by the Dev. He's having storylines on his own & he's taking up an inordinate amount of game time, or an appropriate amount for a 2nd MC, depending on a fan's POV. It wouldn't have mattered so much if the pace of development was faster but instead of 1 update per month as promised, it's closer to 3 months. That's 2 & a half years for 1 PD & we're not even half way through the game.

Now we hear that things might speed up in 1-2 years time, (why not now?) but it's just as likely that things will get slower, as they always have, towards a time of 1 update per annum. Given past commitments vs. practice that's not implausible & we've probably all seen it done with other games, right before they blink out.

I no longer gamble but an interesting bet would have been, which will finish first, the patience & financial backing of Patrons, or the Dev's intention to continue? Odds could be even at present.

I see what your saying. In that case, sounds like the Dev should probably do a spinoff game about Dylan, instead of taking too much time away from the mother.

A Wife and Mother - Combined Edition v0.180

This is a crunched version of A Wife and Mother version 0.180, which includes the complete Part 1. That means you can play the game from the beginning or just import your old save files without any issue. If you don't like the crunched low quality images, you can just put and replace the HQ images from v0.150, 0.160, 0.161, 0.165, 0.170, 0.175, 0.180

CE v0.180 (1.5 GB)

Trying out this game for the first time. How/where do I "put and replace"? I searched the thread but wasn't able to find a clear answer. I've downloaded the CGs for the versions, just don't know where to place them.

Help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Don't give him any more ideas. Now he'll probably find some way to work having the Hulk and the Avengers show up in the game too. Although having the Hulk stumble upon Sophia and then shouting, "Hulk SMASH...that." would be kind of funny.

My money would not be on the FinSubs. They're too submissive to notice the sunk cost fallacy. I could wager they will keep paying past the two year no update mark.

The other problem with the model L&P has decided to use is the possibility that the ruse will fail and his account will be shut down.

Particularly if the bonus storyline is going to eventuate in Dylan sleeping with Ellie. Is L&P going to be able to play wack-a-mole quickly enough deleting posts celebrating some actual incest in the game.

He could offer a discounted tier system on Subscribestar to get people to move away from Patreon and then dump the extra headache/work of the decoy patreon version. Doubtful he would do the math to justify the lowered income even with reduced effort/work.
