If L&P had not already lost so much credibility, this reply would sound very positive. But somehow I don't believe in a second developer (who doesn't even have a name, and never makes an appearance anywhere) and secondly I think it's not unlikely that L&P just took a 2-3 week vacation.

Well, let's hope that I'm wrong and that the change in the way of working will at least accelerate the development somewhat. This update (and the following) is one that I've been really looking forward to.

I ain't here to shame you. What's the hidden reason to ignore your goddess, even if she appears on a different path? She's a plot device for that particular storyline. Let's say, by any miracle, smth more or less interesting gonna happen between siblings during 0.195 events, you still gonna keep looking the other way? I know I won't. If L&P creates this additional subplot, heading to a o-la-la sister/brother scene, I'm all for it. Pairing them together and adding up to the mix their mom later on (10 years from now) - insta cum.

There's no Ellie/Patricia path and never will be, only Sophia/Ellie/Pat is possible, you probably meant Sophia/Pat. I can easily name you at least one. Nightclub event, where she sees her mom making out with aunty, which leads to the 2nd shower and a really hot french kissing scene.

Dylan needs to catch up to her. How many times he's been with Sophia alone, totally naked, against 3 mommy/daughter events? Exactly. When this PD ends, your honey-bunny gonna leap away from everyone in the next morning scene. We can concur that Ellie & Dylan are crucial to this VN, everyone else are appetizers compared to them.
I did mean Ellie/Patricia. The two routes are intertwined at the Nightclub event, so I usually write Ellie/Patricia meaning both Ellie and Patricia routes, since if you're playing one, chances are good you're also playing the other.

It's probably misleading, but then so is calling it the Lesbian route, so to my knowledge there's no real solution

If you really want to bash on a lack of realism in AWAM, though, Sophia's scenes with Sam are the least of it. The idea that a well-mannered professional educator like Sophia would do this:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
is absurd, yet if one hunts through news reports from around the world, one can find examples of just about everything we've seen in this game and worse (or better, depending on your point of view).
That scene made absolutely no sense and doesn't fit with anything else.

I always thought a big part of the game or at least a big opportunity in the game was missed with the remodelling of the house while Liam was away, all that rebuilding going on and nothing with the workmen carrying out the work.
If you look at the game as L&P looking at where the market is, dumping the movers as a storyline makes sense. The shota incest crowd is what has consistently been the most vocal, so that's what L&P is catering to.

That the shota crowd has so much influence can easily been seen in that Aiden has the popularity he has. The Bennett blackmail makes much more sense, but Bennett doesn't even have a vote option.

Adding the bonus storyline - only caters to the players of the Dylan route. Dropping the Twist - only caters to players of the Dylan route. The Amber storyline - only caters to the Dylan route, for those deciding they're no longer interested in the Dylan route. Etc, etc.

Does this mean that the animations counter should increase independently of the other progress counters?

Also I'll be happy if in those 17 pages of text he doesn't refer to Sophia's breasts as fun bags or melons or whatever else he used in the previous update. It was easily the worst written event by far imo.
XDDD actually the "fun bag" made me spit my morning croissant back into my irish coffee... was to much early in the morning XDDDD" #fuckmexD

When is the next Ellie and the Boyfriend update coming?
Not sure if there's any info on that. Could be a year, could be 10 years...Or never. ;)

Not gonna lie.. Considering L&P can't even seem to render the 5% created scenes within 24 hours, I'd say the answer is likely never. Well, unless the next update has 5000 renders. He's literally taking DAYS just to press the render button in DAZ. lol

I think of it more that L&P is consciously catering primarily for schoolboys. Presumably, that's where the market is & would account for much of what has occurred over the last 2-3 years, including the discarding of the veneer of realism & the surge in popularity of the shota clan. It also explains the preponderance of the sex education theme. Some of these fans will be virgins, (some not) & many will lack confidence around women, as I know I did at times, (but luckily not all the time). It is informative & no coincidence that both Dylan & Sam are virgins, with Sophia appearing to act as 'reverse green kryptonite' in their presence & empowering them beyond their years & experience, especially with Sam. This ties in with the common standard porn game scene of a beautiful mature MILF type being brought to the greatest orgasm of her life by an inexperienced virginal boy, complete with the tedious "ahegao" face & uncontrollable moans & writhing, not forgetting thoughts about a monster cock &/or how much better it is than with her husband. It's bollocks but it's popular. AWAM is now concerned with schoolboy wish fulfilment.

It's all the more ironic to think that many of these same fans will not only have a wealth of sexual practical knowledge & experience but have life-partners & children of their own by the time that Dylan & Sam have a chance to perform their miraculous, porn game style, love-making. So, while it might be legitimate to cater mainly for schoolboys, they should at least not have to wait until middle age for a story's pay-off. It is also the case that this is straightforward porn & not erotica, slowburn notwithstanding. Whatever the Dev's thinking behind the directions he has taken AWAM, he clearly felt that joining the other 98% of games catering to this same audience was the way to go. Perhaps there'll just never be enough games of this type?

Until relatively recently, (in San Alejo time), AWAM was content with 'shota-lite' as provided by Dylan, Sam, Zac & even Aiden. I don't know what was wrong with this situation but "his game, his choice" & whoosh, in came real full-on shota, with the 3 apostles, their apparent, (on the surface), sexual ignorance & the fact that they're not yet having to shave. Elsewhere, I wondered if their voices had broken yet. Sophia began to act unlike the woman portrayed elsewhere in the game. This resulted in the worst written, most improbable, component in what up to that time had been a game that was still a cut above the rest, let down only by hideously slow development. Nevertheless, shota's here, it's popular. I'm guessing that tentacles, futas, skinsuits, giantism etc., would also garner votes if they'd been inserted in the game, "against the run of play." Who knows, there's still time for them to make an appearance.
