No one knows the progress cause the game's on a hault .. L&P is probably having a writer's block and doesn't know wtf to do..
- Thread starter CobraSGT
- Start date
You are correct my friend. What this highly talented developer desperately needs is a trusted editor, not to stem creativity, but to keep the flow of his work within acceptable parameters and accountability toward his patrons.I think one of L&P's major problems is that he seems to have isolated himself from a few voices who tell him what he Needs to know, versus what he Wants to hear (the dangers of surrounding yourself or only paying heed to the equivalent of 'yes men').
I think you are right about the scene needing rework.
IF AWAM was actually written well past this point - story boarded so that the boundaries and major plot points of each scene were already created - then running the next several PDs past a few trusted advisors is essential to getting good feedback and avoiding the 'Oh Shit!!' moments like the Twist (Dylan as the bad guy for setting up Sophia for Aiden's blackmail) or the way this scene seems to be 'flowing.'
Anytime I create a complex work product, I run it by several people who I trust to tell me what I need to know versus - 'hey - gave it a 5 second glance and you are good.'
I consider all the feedback I am given, and I make changes as needed, based on that feedback and the rationale provided by those who reviewed my work... working in a vacuum (soliciting no feedback or alternate perspectives) creates all kinds of blind spots and this is something L&P Should know since he is no longer a novice creator.
This is L&P's work product and his livelihood... so getting the perspectives of people who don't think the way he does is Critical to creating a better work product.
interestingly enough - creating a team and building trust among team members can create some of those trusted advisors who can help the Team, and L&P, avoid the pitfalls he is stumbling over... who knew??
Cheers!
Surely some of L&P patreon subs are asking questions like...
Will this delay be a week , 2weeks a month 2 months 4 months away ?
It's not a smart business plan to be evasive he does not need to give a date of release but at least have a rough guess in the ball park.
Sorry but if was a sub i would be withdrawing right now until he makes it clear. There always seems to be an excuse for delay.
For god's sake L&P hire someone as an editor or story writer if you wanna do the renders and create the scenes.
It's the best game by a mile but his subs need far more transparency

Sometimes I really think some people here have lost touch with reality. If you really wanted to take the AWAM story seriously, which is a stupid idea in itself, then you should at least be honest enough to say that in a real world version of AWAM story, first of all, Sophia would get into legal trouble. This is not even because of what could happen with Dylan, but mainly because of the event with the children.
Anyway, AWAM is a porn game. It doesn't make sense to compare the porn game too much with the real world, because in a porn game it is precisely the deviation from reality that is the intended content. Expressed differently, It makes no sense if everyone in an incest game adheres to the law, because then nothing at all would happen. It is simply pointless to demand reality when it is precisely a matter of not upholding it.
What AWAM does so well is that reality (e.g. good graphics, characters with individual personality, etc. ) is mixed well with the unrealistic content. AWAM problem is not that something could happen, but rather that it has already taken so long and almost nothing has happened so far.
still talking about realism ? Just move on dude...

People don't magically get in trouble for doing something criminal. It's not like law enforcement is hiding in your walls. For Sophia to get in legal trouble, she'd have to get caught or snitched on first. But just like in real life, this isn't happening in many cases. So no, it wouldn't be honest to say that Sophia should be in legal trouble by now unless there's an active ongoing investigation for some of the things she's done, which that's simply not the case.
As long as someone complains about the lack of realism in AWAM (a porn game), whether directly or indirectly, I will be allowed to say that this is a stupid statement. More than that, I'm certainly not going to stop doing this just because you don't like it.
It is a porn game. I don't think about it that much, because I think it's pointless. My point was to clarify why the statement about Dylan is of little use. Sophia story only served as a comparison.

I understand very well that L&P does not control the discussions on F95zone. But I don't think he doesn't take notice of the comments discussed here. I don't think he is aware that life passes quickly. Let's imagine that L&P's brain works slower than average and is not really aware of time. This explains why Sophia can bathe so often. At the same time explains why he can't develop his game faster. He has fixations on some scenario like water. So we have the thought belief that he wants to upload images and text of a normally developing story, but that's not the case. We find ourselves with a person who must have fun creating scenarios that satisfy him first and foremost. He does not accept criticism because he seeks to understand himself how to develop his game. He tries to integrate improvements which he says every time. We repeat that it did not work and slowed down the update. For me it is clear that I appreciate his creativity and that he has nothing to do with me to motivate him to faster productivity. As most people write in the few days registered for the game there is way too much water. So we'll have to let a lot of water flow before we understand L&P.

Calling people names indicates you're right.
Very good and justified assumption.
Why wouldn't he though? His paying fan base seems to be satisfied based on the steady cash flow.
Do the only people whose criticism matters in terms of the actual impact on his well-being raise any criticism whatsoever? Do they vote with their wallets?
No, if I did something like that, you would be the first to know. And I would do it very publicly. A hit with an announcement, so to speak.
You're still on my ignore list by the way, I was only interested in the repartee you're having with carleston. As always when you get stuck you start insulting. But he seems to be a worthy opponent.

If you are so good, why did you not write a scenario and offer it to a 3D Artist for making a game...
