Is there anyone who likes the character Christine?
Her event will occupy a considerable amount of the render images :unsure:
It might be another blue ball update from L&P
I've always hoped for more stuff with Ellie and her cheerleader/dance friends - I don't think you can go wrong with a bunch of barely dressed 18-yr old girls in a storyline. It is what is featured in my fan art after all.
The principle is simple. No Sophia, no interest.
Try arguing (like I do) that storylines that add nothing to her storyline, like the Dylan/Amber path and the bonus storyline and you'll see that's untrue.

don't let L&P get stuck with the character Sophia, this game will be abandoned soon if he continues his blue ball strategy

In my opinion, complete Sophia asap (to satisfy the supporting fans) and gradually shift the story towards another character, in my opinion, Ellie.
If successful, LP will have an additional few years to continue milking from his fans :rolleyes:
Otherwise, if the fans don't get bored, L&P himself will lose interest and abandon the game

Member since 2018, it must have been really important to you to dedicate your second post to this game. Thank you for describing your emotional state.

I played games on this site without an account for several years, and out of curiosity, I created an account, but I didn't engage in forum activities, and this forum is the first one where I wrote a post a few months ago.

And everyone has a "first", and you're no exception.

I left the game after where Sophia got groped by Aiden's friend outside. Has there been any significant development after that about main character Sophia ?

and are developers of the game incest / pedo or something ? why they only force people about dylan ? as if it is impossible to put an normal adult character for Sophia to interact ?

I'd say it's closer to 40 years. If each day averages 10 events, ('some will be smaller but some could be larger'....thought I'd say that, even though it's self-evident, before somebody else says it), with each event taking the time they are now, i.e. 2-3 months, it could average 2 & a half years for each playable day. That's not counting animations, mini-games, polls, gradually redrafting the earlier PDs of AWAM, progressing DoL, sorting the game out to be acceptable for Steam, any as yet unused delaying tactics, or the latest activity announced by the Dev, of bringing the number of Dylan's scenarios to a par with Sophia's. [AWAM now requires a "male protagonist" tag for the real MC].

I'm aware there are fans who relish the idea, or couldn't care less. Hopefully the majority will be alive in 40 years time to discover whether they still feel the same. It's more likely that reality, (or something), will kick in at some point, because believing this will continue in the same old style for another 40 years, is itself a fantasy but not an erotic one.
AWAM will never be finished because in maybe even less than 5-10 years will be outdated completely. I do not know many things regarding game development but I have the feeling that L&P is not full time Dev anymore. The continuity of the game has been lost and events out of no where and without any sense has been added like the school threesome and Sophia's groping from Aiden's friends. I do not expect from an adult game to be fully realistic but the latter was absolute stupidity. In any case it still remains one of the best adult VN around.

It is not like he will be penalized by the AVN Guild for failing to complete AWAM. He can opt for the 'take the money and run' scenario.

I think the Steam release will soak up significant time if he is trying to do it right. He could release it as 'Season 1' and then sell the 'franchise' to another creator based on how well he did on Steam combined with average monthly earnings for the last X months.

As it stands - AWAM has longevity as an idea but not as an AVN. How many saves get broken with minor updates to Renpy let alone whole number Renpy updates; what kind of hardware investment will he need to make the upgrade to 1080p, 1440, and eventually 2K for resolution? This is not needed to be competitive now but given AWAM's 25+ years or more until completion, L&P will have to invest in the hardware for the upgrades.

What kind of fidelity will be needed for animations that 'pop' and are competitive with top tier AVNs in 10 years? 20 years?

What about the creators who are embedding voice over into animations using AI?

We're already seeing a major influx of AVNs using AI for image creation. These images are nowhere near as good as those in top tier AVNs, but I could see AI assists in the next 5-10 years (for example, take an image and - using a series of predictive motions based on instructions to the AI, add in motion like turning the heads of characters to follow another character who is moving or as different characters talk. This would be akin to taking a .jpeg image and turning it into a .gif file based on canned instructions AI programmers will sell as mods to Daz and other image creation software).

How will this impact AWAM's ability to stay competitive.

The story used to be a major part of AWAM's competitiveness but that is no longer the case as L&P has tried to cater to so many different parts of his fan base that the story is effectively broken as a cohesive work. It is now just a series of related vignettes, due in part to the huge slow down in development speed.

Milfy City was one of my favorite AVNs when it came out but, when you compare it's graphics to top tier AVNs now? It is no longer a top tier creation. AWAM is heading for this same result unless L&P invests major $ in hardware and team building since he will be trying to increase speed of development while he redoes the early parts of AWAM - and we all know how well L&P does with team building...

When will L&P have to declare a lock on AWAM part 2 and then make the major upgrades to start part 3? Who will be performing the remaster of both parts 1 & 2 while part 3 has moved on to higher resolutions, more complex animations and some level of AI assist?

How many of us will be labeled 'Rats' for telling the truth to someone who does not want to/is unable to adapt?
