We know how difficult it is to find material from 20 years ago, even if we know the name of a person and the name of the magazine he or she modeled for.

However, accidentally finding materials from 20 years ago without knowing the name of the magazine and the date the film was taken is close to a lottery.

It may have been informed by the developer of this game, and the developer may have set it up that way, but I don't think it fits the logic.

The way Dylan stumbles upon it, it has to be a patient that Dylan is stalking and obsessing over Sofia.
So when Dylan searches the internet for photos of Sofia from her college and high school years, Dylan must stumble upon photos of her as a model at the time.

However, in this case, it should have been discovered first by students who were more interested in Sofia than Dylan, and rumors should have spread within the school first by the first discoverer.

It's worth remembering how passive Dylan was when Sam and Dylan talked about Sophia.

if Dylan can find it, the other students can too.

Also, Sofia can't easily remove pictures of herself from the internet. (Dylan too.)

In order to delete photos on the Internet, she have to notify the investigation agency and Internet companies of the damage, and she have to pay a huge amount of money to the magazine company on the condition of recalling and destroying the magazine.

But Sofia wouldn't have been kidnapped by a magazine company and wouldn't have that much money.

I hope the developers bring a different story.

And Dylan can't delete it.

Imagine a high school student fighting a magazine company or an Internet company or a site.

Imagine, I need to make money selling this, but someone calls and asks me to scrap it instead of selling it.

not possible.

(I wanted to be silent but I couldn't help it because it was a story so different from the world I knew. sorry.)
20 years ago from the start of AWAM is 1997.
Back then there is not many people with access to internet.
That was the time of Diablo and Quake 2.

Instead of imagining all this. How about we imagine that these photos are listed on an amateur website. The magazine company might not even be around and this picture was posted to the site by someone who had access to the physical copy of the magazine, scanned it and posted it from his account on this site.

I don't really care about the whole Dylan removing the pictures from the internet but it would be relatively easy. Because now all he needs to do is get into that account and remove the pictures. Most people using such sites, don't use it often. So the guy must have contributed the pictures a while back and then moved on.

The magazine wasn't a recognised one as we know and neither is Sophia a recognised model. The site they are on isn't easily accessible. We know Dylan has skills with IT. He can take care of ransomware, he most probably digs around a lot of sites and knows how to access sites which you can't access by simple Google searches. The teaser said the site was in the deep abyss of the internet.
I don't know why we always have to assume that just because something is on the internet every single person around most definitely has seen the stuff posted of you on the internet.

I mean the girl living next door to any of us could have a full blown porn video on the internet and you'll never be able to find it. Heck, tons of onlyfans girls post nude pics with their face and even if you have seen them, If someday you were to cross paths with the girl, you will still not remember that you had seen a nude of her somewhere on the internet. Hence, i don't think there is a ned to a make a big deal out of something that is not. The chances are very very low and not worth even talking about.

When you guys have different tit-for-tat views on this, the plot design is already problematic

Your words were what I meant to say.

Just because something is on the Internet doesn't mean everyone sees the same information.
The same goes for Dylan.

No matter how genius a programmer Dylan is, he must have a purpose to go to the abyss.

But Dylan has no such purpose.

Why did Dylan need data from 20 years ago?
Why did Dylan need to access there magazine company's site?
Why would Dylan try to access undisclosed past material?

Did you actually look up the material from 20 years ago?
It is not easy to find the necessary information even if there is a clear purpose, the information to be found is specified, and with prior information available.

It's one of those things I've been thinking about lately.

Maybe Liam is part of the developer himself.
(I am not saying that the developer is male. I don't know.)

Actually, I understand that the module(?) of this game started from a building simulator.
(I don't know the exact word.)

He gave up his studies at a young age and turned to this path.
It could be because the game was successful, but it could also be because there was no vision.

In Part 1, he would have filled the content with his memories, stories he heard, and things he saw.

But he doesn't seem to have much experience in depth.

Aiden knows, but Andre doesn't knows.
The process of Dylan subduing a rogues was a story that could only be imagined by children.
Liam knows nothing about the company.

On the other hand, this game contains a lot of female fantasy.

Sophia's event for her husband.
Sophia's dream guy, Sam who is active in a band.
Aiden driving a motorcycle wearing a leather jacket and Sofia sitting behind him.
Coffee time for women.
couples meeting.
Ellie's friends at a family event.
.........

I'm not trying to say that the game is all wrong.
Because I am also a game, I understand what is possible.

What I criticize is the probability, consistency, and speed of the story.

What I'm curious about is why can't the story be advanced?
Why did the focus shift to Dylan instead of advancing the Sophia story?

I suspect the developer's lack of experience.

As the developer of this game said, experience is important for games based on realism.
Even if it's not real life, but a novel or a movie...

Otherwise, the entire game story could be ruined with just one magazine, as it is now.

Imagine if I posted someone's picture on this site.
how to erase?

I think many of the comments on this forum are based on the opinions of the developers.

The law follows all your actions.
That's the reality.

Developer value reality the most, so I hope they experience real life. More.

This update is more proof that animation shouldn't have been added to AWAM, do it after you finish the game and just add stills for now.
Also, if L&P would ever consider actually letting someone else work on the project. Its so stale that he/she keeps pedaling they hired an animator when its clearly still them doing...everything. I do, however, believe he hired a translator. What a dev
