From flicking through the responses after both this and the previous update, they seem to fall into two:
1) From young kids - the dev is blueballing/milking/cheating us with no actual sex (with someone other than husband) to fap off to. Often frustrated even though (usually) pirating the game for free.
2) From older players - the dev is losing the eroticism what made this game special as the level of corruption grows and the game is becoming just another porn game.
I personally lean more to the latter but can partly understand the former only in that as development speed has slowed to a crawl, that it will be years yet before we get these sex scenes on Sun / Mon / Tues in game.
This update has bad points and good points for me.
The bad points are that this update took just shy of six weeks. We did nt get a huge number of renders and all but a couple I beleive were only for Aiden / Morello routes. As several people including
Alley_Cat and
GingerSweetGirl have mentioned previously, this is the downside of going for an event based release schedule rather parts of a day. If you don't follow that particular route you get one or two renders before black to be continued end scene......
Update v0.161 was just too short and felt a bit unecessary as a standalone update. If it had been the conclusion of the Aiden scenes at the end of update v0.160, then it would have worked far better. But I imagine that dev did nt want to incur further wrath of his patreon supporters after the delay to v0.155 because of the darned animations.
The good points - what we got, little though it was, was all right given that I was following the Aiden route. It is consistent with last few updates in really ramping up Sophia's corruption. It was definitely a big step for Sophia to flash her knickers and either let strangers grope her in her skimpy braless dress or else show them her bare naked boobs. I don't know whether either choice will have any significance in future story.
I liked the couple of animations that we did get (although not sure why the walking animation was dropped after already done). I maybe easily pleased as I like boobs and Sophia's are just perfection. So I enjoyed them - hopefully they are just the start with better animations yet to come as we get to future sex scenes. I agree with others about Task 5, is that surely soon we are going to get Sophia having to flash her pussy. We have already had a couple of tasks involving flashing of panties / boobs and groping of boobs over clothes. We have to escalate further if we are going to progress to pussy fingering and handjobs, maybe for task 6 & 7.....
But finishing on one last negative, it did feel more rusghed and less erotic than previous Tasks. I know this was nt a task and was an add on scene - it just lacked the subtlety and erotic buildup that say the Art Class had. That was maybe the highpoint of the story for me so far. I have always felt that it would be difficult for L&P to keep what made AWAM probably unique whilst still accelerating the corruption of Sophia towards sex scenes with her various LI's. It was a very narrow path to navigate. I hope he can yet do it, but am no longer sure whether he can do it.
