AWAM started, as all long-term players know, as an adult VN, with game style choices. It was something of a hybrid but none the worse for that, IMO, given the proliferation of juvenile "meetandfuck" fap material that had adult content, only in so far as the sheer amount of tedious, boring, meaningless sex they contained. These were the types of games where virtually every new character would have sex with the MC, quite soon after meeting up, where cocks looked like they'd been transplanted from purpose-bred horses & amazing anal sex didn't even require lubrication. They were obviously aimed squarely at young wankers & many were very successful. This is not an anti-youth point, because most of us were young wankers once.
AWAM was different, very different, with an interesting premise & a story. Indeed, it had several story-lines within one arc of progress. At that time, (ignoring everyone's varied tastes for the moment), the only real "fly in the ointment" was the designation of Sophia's initial persona as almost nun-like. This, to me, jarred with the realism that was been striven for & was often achieved.
Looking at AWAM now, I can't put my finger on exactly the PD, or moment, where it went wrong & I deliberately don't use the phrase, "ALL went wrong," because I think it's still possible to get it back on track. Every player will have their own ideas on this & for some, obviously, nothing is wrong at all. [I respect that but totally disagree]. What is the actual chance of a reboot of AWAM as an adult game for grown-ups? I look at Sophia in the romper at 38 years old, as it barely contains her cartoon-like proportions & I don't think the odds are favourable.
Might it be the case that the "adult" games world is solely for the young, based on demand, spending-power, free-time & the need to fap, plus the inevitable adoption of previously successful formulae by Devs having to make some money? I'm sure some younger folks want proper stories, or at least choice & variety. Is there a place for genuinely realistic erotic stories being told through the medium of good quality 3d renders? I certainly hope that there is.
