Christ. Will everyone stop moaning. The update will be released when it's released. Too many people are too impatient.
Your second post of all time got me curious. I looked at your post history and your only other post is on a game that is labeled "abandoned" and yet you posted that you hope it (Thinking About You) gets finished.

I'll let you in on a secret, what you're seeing from AWAM is exactly the sort of evolution that precedes a game's abandonment. You may think people are moaning, and that everyone should just be patient, but sooner or later AWAM is going to end up exactly like Thinking About You; dead and abandoned.

People are impatient because they can feel this game slipping away.

I don't know what would be better, the game being abandoned now, or waiting until it's estimated 2056 completion date.

While Germany dubs for Germany, there are renowned VAs, who work for other nations dubbing industry too. Frank Glaubrecht for instance, is a regular in 4 nations dubbing studios, dubbing in 4 languages!
Once again, it was not too uncommon, that young VAs voiced erotic stuff to earn additional money when they were new and nobody here bats an eyelid about that. While they don´t advertise it, it is not a secret. Really famous VAs certainly won´t go back to voicing porn (except maybe for audio books a la 50 shades of grey, since someone has to read them and it is well paid), but you can get talented new VAs to do some erotic stuff relatively easy, but that costs. And L&P wants top level quality for an apple and an egg(seen with the animations stuff), something which will not work!
So my post are NOT pointless!
It is pointless because the VA L&P was after is only for the sex parts - moaning and such, not for the text of the whole game...

Relax, he needs to wait for new month to kick in. Why releasing in Feb, when people can pay again for Mar to get the game <3

So let me get this straight. This game has been under development since 2017 and the main protagonist (Sophia) had sex only with her husband? And only like 3 or 4 times so far? The rest of the game is only teasing and gridding. I like slow paced games but come on. Sophia should have fucked everyone 20 times by now. It's very clear the developer is milking the cow! Even the most loyal patrons admit it! It's kinda sad because i have a love/hate relationship with AWAM. I wish the updates were more constant and with more material. And lets be honest...it's just a sex game. It should have been finished by 2020 at the very least.

I think this update is shorter than the rest, like with less render n animations but without animation the update is useless. And I think the it might be sex scene animation n there maybe a sex scene with Aiden's girlfriend .

Some people want to see a non-husband dick inside Sophia's vagina but personally I like the slow burn and I'm not in a hurry to see it. Teasing is very erotic and can be more fappable than raw sex.

The problem I have is the slow pace of development. With all the routes and branching you don't have a good feel of progression in each update, the story doesn't move very far. And it doesn't seem the game will be finished even within 10 years which scream abandonment

You may think people are moaning, and that everyone should just be patient, but sooner or later AWAM is going to end up exactly like Thinking About You; dead and abandoned.

I can think of several reasons for a game/VN's being abandoned:

1. I believe it's literally the no.1 reason for abandoned games - Lack of support , and without a thorough research I'd say that's the reason for more than 95% of abandoned games (for example - just checked and Thinking about you Patreon is bellow 160$. In it's highest it reached 305$ before Patreon's share and tax (check it ). Meanwhile, most abandoned games has even lower support. But that's not the case with AWAM.

2. Health issues (dev or his family). I know of some devs who died, even a sad case of a dev's wife who severely injured herself while trying to commit suicide (in that case the game development only slowed down). We know L&P was in college when he started AWAM so he's probably in his late 20's - early 30's, so shit might happen, but his life expectancy has somewhere between 40-50 more years, so probably not in the near future.

3. A change of mind. In example - if suddenly he'll find god and abandoned all sins of flesh etc... That might be an extreme case, but there are more probable reasons for this - in example, he can get involved romantically with someone who will not approve this kind of business...

4. Patreon shutting of his page - that's a real threat, but I believe he can overcome this kind of obstacle. Most of his Patreons will immediately move their support to subscribestar, and eventually he'll regenerate his previous earnings.

5. Burnout - some obvious examples here like icstor and gumdrop, but that's it. I dont know of any other (allegedly) burnet out dev from the top 100 devs (according to ) who abandoned their game. So 2 out of 100 isn't a lot, and I wouldn't lose sleep because of this small chance.

7. World war III (or any other force majeure). It's sad, but right now that's the most realistic reason for abandonment...

I guess there are a lot more reasons, but I believe these are the major ones. Right now things are looking good for him financially, and his supporters are growing more or less according to my post here (which predicts ~2,000 supporters for the end of February. Right now he has 1,991 from Patreon and Subscribestar combined). As I see it, the chance he's abandoning the game in the next 5-8 years is quite small. That's not to say I believe this game will ever reach it's ending...

I agree too but It's not the slow burn that most people are complainting about dummy it's the delay that most people are frustrated

The fact is that if all this were faster, I mean the entire volume of the 1st part of the game, then there would be no questions at all, because within the framework of the plot, if you abstract from the development time, then everything looks logical, my opinion with competent management, the team, it would take a maximum of 2 years, the entire volume of the 1st part, and perhaps there would be even more content, but he chose this path of development.
I started playing the game at the end of 2020, and for me it wasn't a 4-year-old expectation, but if you keep it in mind, it's certainly bad.
