I really enjoy AWAM
I was a major supporter and defender for several years and I still love the detail and quality of this VN.
Reality though = something has to change in the long term, if AWAM is going to be completed.
We are now at a stage where we are getting updates of < 1 game day/year and, if this is the current pace for the rest of the VN, then completion > 2035 is a simple truth - it's just math.
Changes in technology and software upgrades will eventually force a change - whether it is a restart or L&P/others volunteering to post a series of saves for all paths once Daz and supporting software (like Genesis) evolve to the point where AWAM has to advance to be competitive visually or perhaps even playable at all.
Regardless - AWAM has become too ambitious (too many story branches and too much detail) for one person to perform All the work associated with each update.
I hope he can get some real help, not just better translations into English (and I suspect other languages) but also with render generation and animations.
It is hard to give up some of the control, YES it is, but... building a good team has it's own rewards, not just with AWAM (which we all want) but with the human interaction that comes from finding others who will share your dream.
Look at the team efforts like Mr. Dots (DMD & Sunshine Love) and Stone Fox Studios (Chasing Sunsets) - they put out consistently great (my opinion) VN updates and they do this at least every 3 months.
I want AWAM to succeed!
I want to see the full story and even epilogue moments of the romance between Sophia and Sam, Sophia and Dylan, Sophia and Ellie/Patricia/Nathalie/Alyssa. I'm even up for the potential of a swinging storyline where Sophia gets Cathy's Husband and Liam gets Cathy (the scene with Liam helping Cathy with her wedding dress choices after Sophia gets called away by Aiden's blackmail was Hot and the most play Liam has gotten in a while).
But for any of this to happen before 2030, something has to change, and I hope it will - I still have my AWAM dreams
