All devs right now taking about 3 to 4 months on games like this the married wife seduced into cheating accept stoper art takes a year between each updates
just a heads up y'all but L&P didn't say Xmas 2023.
They'll get a special animated teaserThe fan will eat him for Christmas.
Ever played exciting affection of Ana, office wife, exciting games, the adventurous couples, my wife's star etc ..those games almost end or close to end now. And I do think developer are working on something else ..there can be more stories about cheating wives or they can improve their future games if they select same genre later on ..based on the feedback they received during their game...So, they're not stuck on with one game and developing it for life..like if audience in here demand Dylan Ellie..he can finish Sophia's story and come up with teenager or brother sister game later on...that would make more sense or adding a dlc of other routes later on in same game. It should not be like including all fantasies in one story and that too taking it slowly without scene...if you've played since part 1 ..there was some structure where you need slut point or filthy point to achieve some corruption...but that structure is gone too. In part 2 it's mostly did Sophia choose this path or not....so corruption point structure changed to different fantasies and routes. Like neighbour corruption, nursing old man, kids, incest, school etc. And begin the story from zero again in those path. Let's see I think he is confused and his only focus is on delaying scene because it was popular in past and he got fans..rest main story wise / corruption point wise theme is gone.All devs right now taking about 3 to 4 months on games like this the married wife seduced into cheating accept stoper art takes a year between each updates
is way better than jessica oneil hard news 1 update for year .If v0.195 lands this year, it will be 4. But it's only 3 updates for this year so far.
He makes it sound like no one else in the world would be able to understand his great vision and create the scenes he wants. Apparently, every other artist can work with others to get their ideas across in an expedited manner, but not the great tormented genius of L&P. He doesn't seem to understand that having others work with him can give him different viewpoints on how scenes can be implemented that he wouldn't necessarily be able to come up with on his own. He's stuck in his own mindset and can't see the forest for the trees.I'm not sure if you know the history of this AV, so I give you some key points.
- AWAM started back in 2017 as an RPGM; then it was converted to Ren'Py in 2018
- AWAM was supposed to have a shelf life of 4 to 5 years when it was converted to Ren'Py.
- His original "already written" plan is now real-time written as he prolonged the AV when he saw it getting popular.
- Already written comment is more of an outline.
- He's in uncharted territory now. There is no plan or structure that I know of atm.
- Here is a copy of his last comment about why this is taking so long or update speed matters post from Sept. 24, 2020.
- He is supposed to have another post to explain more soon, and I'm sure that will be shared at some point.

I'd argue that he does understand that very well, but the only 2 reasons he's not doing it are simply his wallet and to hide how he's really working on this project. Or rather how little he is working on it these days. You know, beware if anyone working with him could end up having morals and good work ethic. L&P surely doesn't want anyone to know what's going on behind closed curtains, as what's going on there is likely disgusting... for his patrons anyway. Would be a shame if some of that came to light.He makes it sound like no one else in the world would be able to understand his great vision and create the scenes he wants.

Great picture.
You're gonna be disappointed, buddy.Ramaraman (big fan) : 100% Trust
There is absolutely no way Xmas 2023 is possible unless he's completely bullshitting the %%%, which is, obviously, a distinct (and likely) possibility.You're gonna be disappointed, buddy.

We're already 2 months and 1 week into this cycle, and animations are stuck at 10%. Unless they start making big jumps, well... you do the math. And even without animations, L&P is way off to make it till Xmas. He'd basically have to work twice as fast to make it in time. Or 10x as fast with animations. lol
LP comes off poorly as always, but there are legitimate reasons for him to not hire anyone for art.He makes it sound like no one else in the world would be able to understand his great vision and create the scenes he wants.

I need this but the image of sophie full of dylan seed
Sound advice but he's been receiving similar, (unrequested) feedback for at least as long as Dylan has been the MC & probably longer. (It's been too long to recall accurately). Oddly, perhaps, I genuinely understand his wish to work alone but at the same time have perceived for years that it's not really working out, as have many others. Maybe that should be that it's not working out for fans. He might have reached a conclusion that things need to change, e.g. the possibility of deleting the side-jobs but everything that's ever been done to speed up has had the opposite effect, sometimes exagerratedly so.LP comes off poorly as always, but there are legitimate reasons for him to not hire anyone for art.
- Obviously artists for hire who make art on LP's level and could emulate his style are not cheap. Most good commission artists charge $50 or more per render. Hiring an artist to create entire scenes or significant numbers of renders will get very expensive very quickly.
- LP is very picky with his scenes and how they are made. Because of this, I doubt another artist would make anything faster. Not to mention being micromanaged would also make them charge more. If anything, it could slow down things more. See the animations.
So yeah, I don't think having an artist would do anything at all. The only potential "art" help that could actually make him faster is someone to set up the environments (since he sometimes kitbashes things together) but how much time that would save is probably insignificant.
The only things, at this point, that could make this game faster are...
1 - An editor/writer helper. It's obvious at this point that LP does in fact not have the story already written, or if he did he didn't stick to it. It's also becoming more obvious that LP knows that the story has issues, such as him saying he may cut the side-jobs to focus on the main stuff. A story helper could make his life a lot easier, assuming he'd actually take them seriously.
2 - I've said this on the OT thread a while ago. Be more efficient. People focus on the raw number of renders or how many renders per day. That isn't as important as how efficiently they're used. Each of these "single event" updates (which aren't actually single events, but several events in a single event "arc") have several hundred renders, some approaching 500. That used to be the total of an entire day.
These two things combined would be a big boost. A writer helper to trim the fat, half of the past two Dylan updates could've been cut and the achieved the same results. And because of that, you'd also need fewer renders to make a day's worth of content. And if he is more efficient with that smaller number of renders, that days worth of content would be a lot quicker to make.
It would be a challenging issue to find someone to help him with the writing. First, he has trust issues that he doesn't to anyone. There was a person on the board who claimed they worked with him in the past, and L&P would only send a couple of sentences with him at a time to read and edit if needed. Also, I don't know if he is doing this anymore. Still, he would use Discord with his proofreader to translate his text and said he could only translate 2 to 2.5 pages a day, depending on if there were no issues that may lower that down; plus, he loves to micro-manage because of the trusting issue.1 - An editor/writer helper.

I don't know how he would control this based on a comment he made in the past, which I would say is still in play today because of the render count for each update.2 - I've said this on the OT thread a while ago.

I know you know this already, but until he trusts someone to read the entire script at once, no editor can help him. His system of giving previous editors one or two sentences at a time was madness. LP is just a crazy person who makes good smut.Sound advice but he's been receiving similar, (unrequested) feedback for at least as long as Dylan has been the MC & probably longer.

I was so keen for him to have an editor that I volunteered to attempt the role for free. [I did edit a local paper for a time, to a deadline & I've helped to script a well-known porn story but I'm not an editor]. He really needs a professional, who should ideally not be a fan but see things from a neutral perspective.
I don't play the incest routes because they don't interest me but couldn't help but see the last 2 Dylan updates via teasers & comments. There was no need for a visit to a restaurant, or a nightclub, just as there wasn't a need to have 2 mother & son submersions in water. If I can see that, I tend to conclude that the Dev can. I believe he enjoys padding out events, even when they're as ludicrous as the nightclub scenes. Time will tell, whether his side-lining of the original MC will sharpen his focus & increase his efficiency, now that AWAM is about Dylan. I don't care personally but I'm certain that Dylan followers will.

A pretty tough first truth question for Dylan straight away. He is literally spoiled for choice. With his decisions, he can influence the further course of the evening.
Here you also have an explanation of why this event, among others, is so elaborate and complex with so many renders. To make it as realistic as possible, I let you as Dylan decide which girl you take when the bottle hits him. So I have to develop one truth and a couple of dares for all the girls or some of them.
