VN Ren'Py A Wife and Mother [v0.220] [Lust & Passion]

If his Paterons want the game changed then either stop supporting the game or make their own game. Insanity how entitled people become when they're donating $5/month....

Happy L&P is open to suggestions - SOMETIMES - but is focused on delivering HIS PROJECT. When you crowdsource things it quickly becomes a clusterfuc* so let the creator, author, artist, and producer continue making his project the way he wants

If you ask the public to support your project, you will not only receive money, but also comments. This has always been the case and it should not be any issue. Of course, this also means comments on the quality and quantity of the results arising from the project.

Especially with L&P, but also some other games developers here, I think the community should pay much more attention to how realistic a project really is. If a developer does not recognize the limits of what is feasible, so that a project would take decades to implement, it is important that the community recognizes this and discusses it accordingly. Some projects would benefit from a few more critical donors. It helps to focus on the essentials and to really perform and not just make promises.

When he had around 1000 Patreon subs, he meet that goal many times. And I say that, because of the monthly reset, but it always went back up.

Yeah, instead of new goals that would benefit the game and it's development, he's simply increasing the requirements to meet his final goal again and again. He could create a goal to help pay for licensed music, expensive assets(if that's even a thing) or whatever, but no. The way he does it is really just fishing for more Patreons, because when people see the final goal, they'll most likely be like; "Oh dang! Let's help him reach that final goal so we get faster updates!". Atleast that's what I'd be thinking anyway.

I don't know what degree he teaches at and who he teaches, It could be small children the basics of English, but I agree. His English would not be top-tier college level.

I don't know if you can take his canceling college courses seriously. As many times as he has moved the goal post for the last two tiers.

Unless you have a valid confirmation that he did indeed cancel his courses to work on this full time, I would take this statement with a grain of salt.

I take everything he says with a grain of salt,at this point I shouldn't be surprised if I get some kidney stones.

I know you do after reading every one of your posts.

And this is why:

L&P

Some devs listen, communicate and reinvest in their product. Others try to keep people attached until the month of update to gain a few extra quit but trends don't lie. He has nothing to offer on off months.
Patrons that stick around are either very good people supporting the lack of respect or people who forget to unsub.
Then on update months, you have the ones that subscribe in order to get the update and the ones who find out about websites like these and just stop subscribing and instead download it.

Lack of transparency and off months content is something he should work on if he wants to increase his subs.

He could definitely use a proofreader. He could get better suggestions. Like in the last update v0.130 I was unhappy with the writing as I felt inconsistencies in it and also it being very unconvincing. Maybe it was because he was already off schedule so he rushed with the dialogues. But pretty much every scene had something about its writing that upset me. A proofreader could ensure the consistency in the vocabulary used by characters as well as ensure an overall better written scene.

Since you mention that you felt inconsistencies, what example in the story or storyline did you feel was unconvincing? I'm just curious about your thoughts.

I opened the document and was immediately confused. None of them fill the role of 'Hero' in my mind. This is a personality thing ultimately, not physical. It is one area in his story that is shallow. None of the males seem to be 'Hero' quality. Not even good 'Dad' material. (Neil is an ass with a cheezy goatee and Liam (no matter the route) is focused on career and not family at all. He has a Dad role to play and keeps dumping shit on Sophia. IMO!

That to me is the problem of AWAM compared to other games / VN. There is not one good-looking well-written adult male that, if Sophia left Liam, would be an ideal long term LI / future mate. I was briefly hopeful of Don Morello but we have been told in game that he is happily married and gather from L&P that he is not doing the seemingly obvious "Indecent Proposal" route. Maybe that might change in the future....

So I am left currently enjoying the lesbian scenes (which are IMO the hottest scenes we have had so far in AWAM), whilst fantasising about future soccer team action.

Since you mention that you felt inconsistencies, what example in the story or storyline did you feel was unconvincing? I'm just curious about your thoughts.

I know you didn't ask me, but let me jump in because I'm bored. I would say that the game's inconsistencies are with Sophia's corruption progression. Namely the problem is with the second side job which just screws everything up since it's such an extreme event for a woman who hasn't shown behavior like that anywhere else. Within the writing itself there are some inconsistencies in grammar and syntax that a proofreader could help with. These inconsistencies can be minor, but in my opinion they begin to add up and make a product look sloppy. But, in worst case scenario, they can confuse the audience if the message of the text is not being properly conveyed. Things like humor or tension can live or die by the choice of a single word, and the use of the wrong word can strip a scene of its intended meaning.

As a non-English speaking person, I have long said that L&P's writing is actually his weakness. He has a good story, but his story telling is weak because he's not working in his native language. A true proofreader would not only help him with grammar and syntax corrections, but would provide support for story structure so that everything flows best.

I hope that there's more to the Don Morello story than it appears because he's an interesting character. This would be one of those times when L&P should use a porn trope because it would make the game more interesting. If L&P only introduced Morello for one purpose and he goes away, that would be a terrible waste.

I take it the girlfriend has left,or his hand is feeling better

We will have to probably wait 1-2 game days to find out about Morello but personally I don't see what else Morello can do for Sophia but as usual L&P is very tight lipped.

Nothing is preventing you from making those games too.

Like ViperDonkey said, I don't see why L&P would use a second, weaker computer to render scenes he can easily render over night on his main rig via batch rendering, which is also basically twice as powerful if he's really using 2x3090's on the main rig, and 1x3090 on the other. It's also news to me that L&P apparently has a second computer in use for this project(?). That would maybe make sense if he were to produce hundreds of renders per day, to a point where the main rig wouldn't be able to render everything fast enough over night before L&P starts working again. I assume there are other reasons to use multiple rigs, possibly animations or something like that? But I've never spend a single minute in DAZ, PS or anything required for a project like this one, so I've honestly no clue.

Anyway, from what I understand, if a render would turn out to be bad he'd check them the next day anyway and can adjust them right then and there, or right after the next couple scenes he's planned for the day. After that, batch render everything he's worked on. Rinse and repeat. No need for a second computer, unless I'm really missing something here. It's not like he can adjust or work on multiple scenes at the same time anyway, even if he were to use 10 computers. And I also don't see how a second rig would save him any time as he just keeps working on scenes until his "workday" is over. Which is when he starts the batch rendering again. A completely automated process that's best done over night, or whenever he's not on his computer doing whatever(from what I understand).

Regarding the 2nd rig. If he would just base it on time, it can make sense if bridging to a farm takes longer than opening the file on another pc in a shared folder.

the thing is.. why would have a 2nd pc just to render when at least 8h of the day you're just not there on the computer? Just leave it batch rendering and that's it.
