L&P updated everyone a day or two ago. He said that the second part of the update has been more complex than anticipated and needs a lot more work. Instead of it being 25% of the update, it's sometime now like 45%.
But alot of people took this to mean there will be an increase in renders based on the percentages. This is incorrect. Only the time is increased not the renders.

Careful your true colors are starting to show up. So whenever you can't win an argument you start talking sh*t ? Is that it ?

I guess it's my fault, i gave you too much credit :KEK:
My previous response was funny and was supposed to release the tension. Unfortunately, another simp reported it and it got deleted.
Was that you again, hzjujk snitch?

No it's a pretty fair assumption. L&P has a LONG history of "discovering" that his updates need a lot more renders than planned. Considering the hardware he had, rendering images shouldn't be time consuming, even if they have multiple characters and effects. The only way he should need substantially more time is if he needs a lot more renders.

But really there's no good excuse. He didn't deserve the benefit of the doubt anymore.

Also, now that Dylan knows his Dad is the reason he's not getting any...quite literally - he's on a collision course with his dad. Its only a matter of time until he fights his father over his mother, this is turning into an oedipus complex in the truest sense. Dylan knows Karate, now. All the crap his Dad gives him, omg he's been looking for a reason. Him fighting his father could wreck his home, he'll be fine; but wtf is Ellie gonna do? She's sakura (useless). I'm not sure L&P was ready for that or thought that through...not fully.:unsure:
From memory Oedipus didn't know he was related to his mother and father. His actual father he just thought was a foreign king.
everyone in this is probably not paying him but criticising him for slow update,but cannot even stop playing this game
I stopped playing after the 45 seconds of boring the v.160 update turned out to be. Even the salon event, the only "event" in my playthrough this playable day - to my knowledge isn't worth the download.

Considering L&P said that animations are off the table for this update, I'd say it's..well... :poop:
yes but i'm pretty sure that i have seen a post of LP saying that some updates would have surprise animations, so i would hope that at least he is working on some animation, al tho i would rather noanimation at all and fater updates

Here's my theory: he's stuck and he's trying to dig his way out. Whatever the original concept was, the event hasn't worked out. Now he's cobbling something together to compensate for a weak foundation. My gut tells me that he's struggling to advance Dylan's progress without resorting to sexual content. L&P has slow played everything to an extreme degree, but at some point even he knows it doesn't make sense. In the context of the last update, and knowing that Dylan will surpass Sam, how isn't the result in this update sex? I expect some mutual masterbation at minimum, but that's probably still too much for L&P. But how much less can be really give us? He wants plausible deniability by giving us something without giving us too much. But I think he's running out of excuses to keep progress stagnant.
I think that you've hit the nail on the head with this. If I was optimistic about AWAM, I'd hope that L&P was also trying to recapture his former good writing ability but having woven such a complex scenario, especially from an incest follower's POV & with so many fan expectations raised.....which he helped foster, is finding it difficult. Anybody would.

Including the now near-redundant Part 1 bath, Part 2 & it's water time again FFS, so what was the real reason for the restaurant & nightclub, with all those associated 'issues'? To set the 'mood' after Dylan, (he of the insufferably smug face....excellent render work but...), proved himself a pervert stealing panties & using them as an aid to masturbation? Dining al fresco under the stars isn't romantic if one of the participants has used the other's lingerie to wank with. Forget "porn logic," it's not credible. I bet Sophia had a shower in the morning, as always. 3 baths in 1 day, now that's ultra hygienic (to the level of wrinkled skin?) & some still wonder why this game takes so long. Maybe she needs lots of water & to keep getting clean, as a displacement activity to stop having to think that her son's actions would place him on the Sex Offender's Register in some countries. (Sophia reset button time again, as there isn't a woman on Earth that would find an underwear thief sexually attractive, let alone her own son stealing her own intimate garments. It's a bend of the kink too far IMO & places Sophia in the same category as Dylan, whatever that is, because she's basically OK with it. 'Such corruption' & still 17PDs to go). I spent a lot of time defending the blackmail from the vociferous "anti" lobby but now a depraved Dylan is fine?

It also seems to me that there are more than 24 hours in this PD13. It may be going on & on for us but it's also the case in San Alejo, sometimes known as 'The City of 1,000 Interruptions' but also now 'City of Never Ending Nights.'

Parts 1 and 2 should have been reversed. Part 1 should have been Dylan and Sophia sneaking out to the club while Liam was drinking with his boss. Sophia and Dylan dance and have a sexy romantic encounter at the club.

Part 2 they come back to the house. They find Liam passed out, and Sophia and Dylan bathe together. There Sophia jerks Dylan off for the first time.

The end.

The whole concept of the evenings events has been misguided. If part 2 really is more sauna or pool-events then L&P really has lost a creative step. To put two water events back to back (and 3 within one 24-hour stretch) really if redundant. And maybe he realizes that and he's redoing the event.

I think one of L&P's major problems is that he seems to have isolated himself from a few voices who tell him what he Needs to know, versus what he Wants to hear (the dangers of surrounding yourself or only paying heed to the equivalent of 'yes men').

I think you are right about the scene needing rework.

IF AWAM was actually written well past this point - story boarded so that the boundaries and major plot points of each scene were already created - then running the next several PDs past a few trusted advisors is essential to getting good feedback and avoiding the 'Oh Shit!!' moments like the Twist (Dylan as the bad guy for setting up Sophia for Aiden's blackmail) or the way this scene seems to be 'flowing.'

Anytime I create a complex work product, I run it by several people who I trust to tell me what I need to know versus - 'hey - gave it a 5 second glance and you are good.'

I consider all the feedback I am given, and I make changes as needed, based on that feedback and the rationale provided by those who reviewed my work... working in a vacuum (soliciting no feedback or alternate perspectives) creates all kinds of blind spots and this is something L&P Should know since he is no longer a novice creator.

This is L&P's work product and his livelihood... so getting the perspectives of people who don't think the way he does is Critical to creating a better work product.

interestingly enough - creating a team and building trust among team members can create some of those trusted advisors who can help the Team, and L&P, avoid the pitfalls he is stumbling over... who knew??

Cheers! :coffee:
