Really, there's something I don't understand.
Could someone explain to me how the programming and testing part can take so long?
I've never developed a porn game, but I did a bit of programming at university, and I've had my hands in enough (bad) renpy code to make a few modifications that I don't see how it's possible for a game like AWAM to take more than a handful of hours, including testing.
I don't even understand why all this isn't done during development, so redundant is this task if it isn't automated.

Is it just me that sees the Steam launch as premature? The game has just started with the mid game and not much has happened yet except for teasing (beside the good wife path).

What also puzzles me is how much time this Steam launch will cost. If that's more than 2-3 weeks, then I don't think it's a good idea. Also, I wonder what steam's policy is for this type of game. Does AWAM go through there, or does L&P have to work with the Landlady preplacement there as well.

I think the Steam launch has already soaked up Many hours of preparation time - like time he could have spent on this current event but instead spent working on Steam/the remaster of content for Steam.

I don't see a reason to go with the Landlady/tenant ruse as that is just to soothe the PC police at Patreon. - the old 'wink wink, nudge nudge, grin grin' nothing incestuous to see here Mate... ;)

I'm not even curious if this is just an attempt at a $ grab or also some form of validation to see how AWAM will compare with some of the great Steam successes like Being A DIK.

To me - this is Just another day year in the life of watching AWAM compete with continental drift to see which is slower.

I'm certain that a Steam release is just another excuse/reason for some of the recent slowdown in development of AWAM.

I think AWAM is the first AVN on Steam that I will not at least wishlist because of how disingenuous L&P has been to current and former supporters.

So - where will the cutoff for the Steam release be?

I think it's the end of the current PD.

IF we see Dylan get some kind of physical release from Sophia - it's not because it was originally part of the story - it's because L&P needs to show something significant to help lure people into buying AWAM on Steam.

I think he gets one shot at Steam this decade.

Given the Very slow development time, a second Steam release, containing let's say 5 more PDs, would not be available for another 12+ years (using the current development time of 2.5 years/PD) so no Steam update until the mid 2030's.

I'll close by abusing a song that comes to mind - an oldie but goodie, In the year 2525:

In the year 2525, if AWAM is still alive
Will we have reached PD 29?
Will L&P still tell us everything is fine?

...


Cheers! :coffee:

I've always wondered why people say this developer started Steam work.
If the developer ever said yes, I'd like to know too.

Including his lazy nature and emotional handling, I can't believe he started Steam work because he said he needed to get an employee in advance for Steam work.

The reason his game development is delayed is because he always did.

Even at 0.185, he changed the uploading date almost 3 times.
0.190 Even now, almost 2 or 3 upload dates have changed.

In the beginning, I remember that some people were certain that the game would be uploading in late July or early August, and later some of the conversations with the developer were made public.

And the date was changed to mid-August (not sure if it was official or not), and now it has been changed to the end of August.

This developer is such a person.

Some people don't remember, and some people seem to have started being active on the forum recently, so I'll explain a bit.

The developer repeatedly delayed development and people complained.

The developer then got angry and saying people didn't care that he was working alone, and people suggested that he hire someone.

Then he said that he was looking for an employee, but that he couldn't allow his 'work of art' to be touched by a normal person, and that he was looking for a high-level worker instead, 'for several years'.
(He also said he couldn't hire high-quality workers because they were expensive.)

Then he recently said that he planned to sell this game to Steam in order to hire staff to help develop this game (Patreon), and that game (Patreon) uploading would be suspended for the time being and that he would also hire someone to help with the Steam work.

So I laughed and said, "He rejected people's offers to hire staff to develop games for various reasons, and now he says he'll hire staff to hire staff."

FYI, I'm thinking Steam work as a negative factor because his words are not persuasive at all to me.

The Steam version is AWAM part1.
So PD13 events won't be included.
Unless he was changing his mind.
Again.
