Sure, that's fine, but it would be craziness to just let the fans translate the game themselves. I imagine 80% of his paying audience speaks English as their primary language, so you have to cater to that.
Yep. Add to that the fact that a whole bunch of patrons aren't even part of F95 or other pirate sites, so they'd hardly have a way to even get their hands on a fan-translated English version either unless it's shared on L&P's Discord or whatever. And truth be told, as bad as L&P's English translations are at times, a fanmade translation would likely turn out to be even worse. No thanks. lol

I think we need voice acting as well. Would make this funny as heck.

Objective evaluation is not possible when discussing art.
Reactions to art is always subjective.
I know, hence "as possible" disclaimer.
So the Sam scenes are the hottest ones for me from both an art and story perspective.
I agree the latest Sam scene is in the same tier, so it comes as second to me, or as first to you. From my perspective, though, it was rushed and lost the remaining traces of "realism" and sanity.
Even more so, now that we know the circumstances of Sophia's first sexual encounter. That backstory coming full circle with Sam adds delightful spice to the Sophia/Sam story.
What's the circle exactly?

No new teaser yet, it's been almost 10 days, I wonder what it is happening, as a reason, is it a very hot teaser for fans?

The Sophia flashback to her teenage years when she slept with her friend's father.
Gotcha. Sounds promising when you put it that way.
Part of me wants to believe there is some thought to this, and it presents some wholeness of Sofia's pattern of behavior. On the other hand, the first time story "feels" like it was one of a few patches of different fabric (sic!) tacked chaotically only recently to push things forth.

I would not be so sure of that. It was quite the opposite in my case - a pirate site brought me to Patreon (although it was not F95).
Many are, as most developers start their careers on F95&Co, but there are lots of people who just look for adult games via Patreon aswell, and those would be entirely left out if L&P were to release his project in his native language.

Or as Ginger put it earlier, a way to alienate the audience. :D

Even if, in theory, every patron had a way to get the fanmade translation, I'm pretty sure it would be worse than the original. You'd either end up with a google translation or people who simply aren't 100% fluent in both languages. People up for this task are usually not working for free as it's quite a bit of work, especially for a project such as AWAM where there's a ton of dialogue compared to other VN's. Either way, he'd likely have way less patrons if the game was released in German.

But on another note, I don't believe for a second that he's actually writing the script in German first and then write it down a second time in English. English isn't my first language either, but I'm not gonna write things down in my native language first before I translate it. That's straight up stupid and doesn't make any sense whatsoever. If I were to struggle formulating a sentence, I'd google it straight away instead of having to type everything down twice. And according to L&P, he's got his translation/proofreader guy anyway, which would make it even more stupid. lol

In my opinion that depends on one's knowledge of the English language.
When I'm writing here, I'm just writing it in English, but when I'm writing something long enough, I'm always writing it in my native language first, and only then translate it. for me this way is much quicker, because I don't "think" in English.
Some people have their way with languages and some don't.

Is it really confirmed that they are going to the jacuzzi? l&p said it in passing or did he seriously confirm it?

I know that the previews do not reveal anything about what is going to happen... But...

I've got another way to finish it & leave the field open for some talented, hard-working & above all motivated individual or team to do a reboot by going back to basics.

If it's true that most of the core fans just want to see Dylan fuck his own mother, (it's a major must-have whatever the case), or attempt this as part of his/her sex education for virgins programme, it might work.

We're told the thugs are coming back, surely they'll want revenge, as I don't think they'll be looking to ask Patricia where she learned to shoot like that. At the current rate that could be decades from now, so let them come back instead during the long, long PD13. Sophia & Dylan, in a good mood after the night club are walking home feeling light-headed & slightly euphoric. "Well, look at that dress," calls thug 1. "Yeah, fuck me, look at the size of those melons," shouts thug 2, wouldn't mind sucking on those." "Hey, look who it is & she's not with that gun-toting bitch, just some scrawny kid." "Last time we had to be sorry but who's sorry now?" "Let's have some fun." [Deliberate echo of Dylan's words earlier that evening, as a last attempt for AWAM to use a literary device not found much in average teen porn. It's also an echo of the mood in which many fans embark on this slow-motion train wreck for their first play through].

So, the rest of this scene pretty much writes itself but if L&P can't be bothered, neither can I. I'm pretty sure most players of sex games can fill in the blanks.

What the thugs havn't realised is that Dylan has had a couple more martial arts lessons. He's got such innate talent for these & is a quick learner, (as we've seen), that he's now proficient in jujutsu, karate, aikido, kendo & kung fu. He's even privately wondered whether to put on weight to try sumo but decided against it as it would clash with his football (soccer) training. "Wham, splat, pow" & the thugs learn another valuable lesson & this time it makes Sophia someone they just want to forget.

"Oh, Dylan, my hero, you were magnificent. You really know your stuff. I'm so proud of the fine young man I've raised. [Deliberate absence of any reference to Liam, so as not to kill the mood]. I just want to hug & squeeze you & kiss you all over. Let's duck down this side street, so you can catch your breath," gushes the mightily impressed & grateful woman. "You lean against this pillar, after all that effort. Are you O.K.?" Suddenly she realises what a stud has been living right under her nose all these years. Sophia, not wanting to spoil the mood by stopping to think, acts more impulsively than ever before in her life & pulls Dylan into a shop doorway. "How can this be wrong, when it feels so right?" she asks of no-one in particular. "Take me Dylan, I'm yours!" she exclaims, as she steps out of her panties & her son fumbles with the fly of his pants. Somewhere, an orchestra plays & could that be a choir....?

You can guess the rest.... AWAM finished, L&P can start his next project. Maybe someone else will write the story as it should have been, maybe they won't. Virgin schoolboy & sycophant facepalms incoming but you've got to admit that by present standards it's credible & it could put AWAM out of our misery.
The end got me, lol. There are about 3 dudes here that just keep smacking themselves with facepalms and never meeting the points with a counter argument. Total clowns, lol.

Nice post.
