No he said that if you choose Alyssa over Ellie there will be less opportunities with Ellie and the two of them are incompatible and cannot be on the same path.
I think that we have drifted off the Dylan/Alyssa nexer

It is said that some Shakespeare plays sound better in German than in the original English. I do not want to offend the national pride of the English forum participants here, nor do I intend to compare L&P with this great writer. But what I want to say is that you can't just machine translate 40 pages of text and then believe subtle nuances of the language are understandable. So if you want / have to describe nuances and feelings and don't just want to say "I want to fuck you", then such a translation quickly becomes an obstacle course that takes a lot of time and can be very tiring. Even today, some authors share their prices with their translators because they know how much work and attention to linguistic detail is necessary for a sentence to be understood as the author intended it in another language.
My remarks on this topic are of course just as unprovable as the claims of some here that L&P is just lazy.

Hey there, someone is echoing my thoughts and terminology! I love it
One reason this update will be interesting is that I'll be looking to see if the game is at a point of diminishing returns, or if it's crested and is actually at the point of negative returns. I have a hard time conceptualizing what that looks like, but it would need to be something like too many images that take too long to scroll through without advancing the story. Obviously we don't want the game to ever reach a point of diminishing returns, so negative returns would be horrible. I don't expect that things will get that bad in this update, but I'm worried that with 1000 renders and very little story to tell we could be trending too close to negative returns territory.

Good translation and localization takes time and is underappreciated; so I agree with you. I still think 2ish pages of translation every day is slow, even if you're doing a great job. Again, if he and/or his translator are working for 8+ hours in a day two pages is really really slow. Personally I think something like four or five pages a day should be attainable- that still would take a while to translate but I could wrap my head around it. I just can't imagine looking at the same page of a Word document for 4+ hours a day and only getting through two pages.

There are some songs I prefer in languages I don't understand. My current favourite is Smells like Teen Spirit sung in Classic Latin, and Pumped Up Kicks in Old English. Both with period instruments as well.
Have also heard Thunderstruck played on the cello, which I have no hopes of seeing for Sam's concert.
Yes, sometimes I'm glad I don't understand the lyrics and with some songs it is not necessary to understand the lyrics in detail, you understand the feelings they are supposed to convey. Like in painting.
Here is a new teaser for everyone who likes a bit harder fetishes: Gender-fair spanking - Elli / Logan or Elli / Dylan.

I thought I read somewhere that there about 7,000 ± games in the VN world. But, not many are the caliber of AWAM. You would think that with this amount of Devs and writers there might be at least one other game that stands out? I'm still looking!

It seems to be peope like to wait and buy all excuses, now about translation, next an accident, next depression, next my pc burned, next my dog has eaten the... and only imagination will be the limit. Personally, I never figured out this was a law book or an organic chemistry treatise, where the precision of the language is quite important. Here all you can have are casual conversations.
Next update will be something like:
And then only one invisible statue per year, not even every six months, why not?
He realized that like as some real artists do, he also can scam for nothing, month after month in this case.
In the other hand, it's common not being openly critic when you pay him every month and he gives you nothing, no one likes to look fool.
Next update will be something like:
You must be registered to see the links
and some people will enjoy and write excellent critics about it and praise the crazy lazzy ass of him lol And then only one invisible statue per year, not even every six months, why not?

Concerns for the future of this game? No. He's got the mortgage to pay.
The only thing that concerns me is losing touch with life, losing realism. Because then our comments are meaningless.

In this case we will have 3 directions:
1. M/D only, with Dylan at boarding school.
2. M/S only, with Alyssa
3. M/S and M/D
This made sense from the start. It remains to be seen if Patricia will show up in all of this.

Still puzzled Ellie doesn't get an invite to the horse ranch - she'd love it. And likely would be in for whatever shenanigans Patricia is planning too.But only with Ellie it's perfect
Another one who has to vomit here. Well then, welcome to the club. You will find many friends here who will agree with you. And a new pirate to play this game for constructive criticism is always welcome.It seems to be peope like to wait and buy all excuses, now about translation, next an accident, next depression, next my pc burned, next my dog has eaten the... and only imagination will be the limit.
