I hope he doesn't drop the novel at least before Sam gets to fuck her. Anyway, the only annoying thing for me are the slow updates, I like the whole story and slow corruption.
We don't know for sure but he give some hints that first sex with other male will be on playable day 19.No idea if will be Sam or some of the blackmailers.We are now at the start of day 9,so still long way to go.At least 2 years:(

I like the game and I do hope that he keeps it going.Since I am not a patron I can it play it for free.The slow updates are annoying but there are plenty of other games out there to play to keep me occupied till the updates arrives.It would be such a shame to lose this game,before Sam gets to fuck her

I'm wondering if maybe the problem myself and others are having with the latest blackmail in the story is it just seems repetitive? Honestly, how many people get almost raped, intimidated by large men (the work crew in her home and the janitor in the school), harassed at work (sorry tightly hugging a female employee is a really good way to get fired, especially the first time you meet them) and blackmailed twice? All within the scope of a few weeks? Each of these by themselves (or maybe two of them at the same time) could lead to a good story but this just seems like more things setting up. Slow burn doesn't mean you have to keep introducing yet more challenges. Sometimes you work with the challenges you have and the response is what provides the character development. Here all we seem to be getting are beginnings.

Lads, for the last time, cut out the shite. Discuss the game and stop with the off-topic bollox.

Final Warning. Any more shite after this is threadban worthy.

i voted for the original. The second one seems out of place....aiden having contacts with hackers muh ass. Though like someone said on the polls, Dylan could still find them pics somehow and confronts sophia. Could give a better angle to Dylan's story.

Also, i really hope this unnecessary drama doesnt delay the update, it already has too much unique scenes which almost guarantees a delay with his slow speed

What a pointless decision. You can choose between:

  • a second blackmail story in game and
  • a second blackmail story in game.
Where is the possibility to just omit this whole event so that there is more time to move on with one of the many other stoies that the author started months ago?

I like the game as is, am enjoying the slow build up of the story.
I hope he doesn't get disheartened and give up on the game.
I do wish L&P would release updates faster - but that's okay, it doesn't cost me anything to be patient

The ONLY reason the interest in the game is stagnating as he puts it is because of the slow updates. 50 days for a half day which gets 2 big scenes and 2 small ones. If he wants money to pile up, he needs to release the half day updates at 30-35 days. Its quite ironic that previously we got full day updates at an interval of 2 months, so he broke them down to half days to release them monthly, now even the half day updates are taking two months.....

I think you can divide the complexity of the game into two dimensions. One is how detailed the events are described (the height of the story), the other is how many events happen in parallel (width of the story).

In my opinion, the level of detail of the description of each event is perfectly chosen. Here many other games do not give enough effort. The problem with this game is that the author goes both high and wide. In a one person project there is simply not enough manpower to handle this amount of work. At least not if one has to go through with it in a reasonable amount of time.

That's something the author never understood. Most people like his detailed description of the story (the Story hight), but wonder why more and more side elements are added with each update (far too wide Story telling). The second Blackmail Story is a good example of this. The best thing would have been to just have a single blackmail story in the game. This can then be detailed and realistic. However, it seems to be a bit nonsensical when, after more than a year, not a single story-line in his game has even begun to make real progress.

Patience is important, but it can also be overused. How the author couldn't figure out that a second Blackmail story is too much , even with all the complains he got before, is a mystery to me.

Good games is dying then a person without game developer experience, thinks that he have rights to change autors plans which were created over the years. RIP A Wife And Mother, because of you guys.
No, if his game dies, it's because of the author. It's simply not enough to have a good story in mind. The real talent is to tell it in an exciting way and within the budget you have at your disposal.

To be completely frank, i dont tnink benett's storyline can be called blackmail. The proper term would be exploitation. He's not threatening to compromise Sophia if she doesnt comply. He has full rights to not let dylan repeat the test. He wants to see how far Sophia is willing to go. I wouldnt really call that blackmail

Wikipedia says:
is the act of threatening to reveal information about a person or group unless a specific demand is met.

In the end, both stories should not count as Blackmail. Anyway, both events are really similar. In both she wants to protect her son from a situation he has brought himself into and in both cases the other side could give in fairly, but does not do so without receiving an inappropriate compensation.

It's also the case that they both seem really strangely constructed:

  • Bad test, no chance for improvement over time, although Dylan just changed Schools.
  • Bully that is very smart (not very likely combination) with an unbeatable lawyer in the family (even more unlikely) and with bully connections all over the city so that a school change would be useless.
Everything with Dylan not even a month in this school. The whole thing is already hard on the border to a nonsensical storyline.

I don't get people on this forum, its like you so desperate to fap and you just can't see simple logic, ya'll nuts if you think the bullying story is unrealistic
It is a very unrealistic blackmail story, and after his ignorant post that this is how it is in the U.S. schools because what do you know he lives there and he knows all the ropes, no he only heard it from "everyone" who said that this is possible especially in the U.S.(figures stereotypical thoughts)... and after all the dev always "screamed and ranted" that he wants his game to be realistic not us so that's why maybe a lot o us are against that blackmail story which doesn't fit in this "real" story, if this is his vision of realism then its a lot different from other ppls vision, maybe he changed and he doesn't want more realism in his story:whistle:...
RIP A Wife And Mother, because of you guys.
You are overreacting and dramatize, if this dies is only on the dev...

After reading the developer's message, I didn’t like this part - "Detailed, detailed, slow-corruption erotic VN with a lot more reward at the end!" . The key part is "a much greater reward at the end!", The question is, when will this end come and will it come at all? If the developer is going to make the game with the same speed as it is now (half of the gaming day every 2 months), then we will get the final of the game in about 5 years. And if we consider that the first sex scene we seem to be supposed to get only on game day 19 (now 9), I’m not quite sure that he is doing everything right. The developer says, the main thing that people want from these games is just sex and he is damn right !!!! It is not necessary to reduce everything only to sex, there are many games that also build relationships with the characters for quite a long time before finally “putting them to bed”. Examples of DMD, Melody, Dreams of Desire, Depraved Awakening - in these games we got sex scenes either in half a year or 2 years (if we take DMD as an example, where we saw sex between the main characters only 2 years later). The main advantage of these games is that the developers do not make us wait for an unknown time how long it takes to get a "great reward" at the end. We are given the opportunity to establish relationships with several characters and almost immediately have sex with them (Melody, Depraved Awakening), but the main goal for us remains the main love interest of the game's protagonist (DMD, Dreams of Desire). I believe that the main problem of AWNM is that the developer, instead of deepening the game with each new update, it only expands it (I can’t say how many characters in the game at the moment, and how many of them are REALLY important for the plot ). For example, the last update and the scene with school bully - too much time is allotted to it: we see that they bully Sophia’s son, talk to them, go to the director with the children, talk to him, go to the police station, call the second boy’s mother, go back to school, again talking with Aiden, we go to the appointed place and, ONLY now, we get a choice - to agree to its conditions or not.I understand that the developer wants to do everything as realistic as possible, BUT MY GOD is too much. This is the second scene in the game, which turned out to be so prolonged, and if it is reduced to a third or half, then the meaning will not change (the first scene for me personally is a music lesson with Sam). If we continue to receive scenes like this, then of course sooner than after 5 years, and maybe later, we will see the final story. If the developer does not revise, then he builds the story, if he continues to introduce new characters (a meeting with some INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT character in the casino, at the end of the 9th gaming day), then we will continue to get a beautiful game with big ambitions not destined to come true.

Yeah i'm curios to see if he "allocates" as much time to the next events like the one you exampled, the day at the beach, the club night with the girls and the night at the casino with husband...
@KinkyGal69 i read some of his responses to the comments on patreon and one caught my eye where he said something about Aiden GF so maybe that's the key on stopping the blackmail...
