Exactly - because a friend requested it, not that you yourself would want that.

Do we know how he will implement the transition between AWAM 0.150 and next update?
Something like DMD 1 to DMD 2?
Or DMD 2 to DMD 3?In this case we manualy put all the points and have to answer some questions.
A new update of AWAM1 will come where you'll be able to generate a .txt file at the end. You'll have to copy/paste it in AWAM2 and start a new game there.

The backing up and placing files/folder in order I can relate to as he probably has each specific room saved(parkers house) and then you have the saved setting for the salon/sauna/Alyssa's house/school classroom.This is not to mention the characters presets that he has saved,the list goes on.
I have a Daz 3d Library of 500GB+ of Daz 3d assets stored onto a separate drive in folders and L&P could have 4 times my content easily
Yeah but we all know that you are milking those future patreon members for that forthcoming game that you have nt yet started!!
:D :D

Do I detect a note of cynicism? We all know what the Dev needs to do but over the years it's become tedious to discuss, or even list suggestions for how we think such things might be achieved. So, now we're looking at next year for the starting segment of a playable day & a likely continuation of one PD per annum. Those who've played the types of games found in this forum usually know about Dev burnout but what about fan burnout? After all, we've all got pressures, problems etc., for which these games are meant to provide some escapism....including not having to worry about production schedules & staffing issues. I had plenty of that when I was working.

On the positive side, I'm really looking forward to Aiden's 4th task. If it's only half as good as the 3rd one, it will be great. I'm also looking towards all the remaining Aiden-haters making use of whatever exit(s) is/are provided for that particular route. It seems that whatever people feel about it, we should all be happy....for a while...in theory.
Oh for burnout, I reached that point a long time ago ( not in game time, but in real time).
Basically while waiting for the update that included the yoga event which took around 4 or 5 month.
Before that point I would imediatly download the game as soon as it was posted on this forum and play all the route on that update.

Today, I not only didn't played the last update, I don't even care enough to download it.

Is it because of the wait between updates ?
I don't think so .
There are other media where I had to wait sometimes years between releases to keep reading where things left off .
But the moment a new book,movie,game or whatever came out , I couldn't wait to come back home and immerse myself in that world.

So, what else then? This forum and those incredible discussions about milking/not milking for the hundred time that convince nobody to change their point of view (and certainly not of those arguing)?
I don't think either as I have been have sometimes following some media where the forums discussions mostly consisted of deathtreat to the author, or incredible arguments like "my favorite character is stronger than yours " or "x woman is the Best waifu and you're dumb to believe otherwise".
These has never stoped me from enjoying those story (but are quite tiresome, I'll give you that).

Maybe my tastes have changed ?
Not really. I'm still playing all type of games.
Realistic, or not, renpy or rpgm, male or female, etc.

The main reason is simply my own expectations .
I though that would be the "pinacle" of erotic,porn (or whatever it's supposed to be called) vn, in his own capacity.

No problem with the renders .
My grip is mostly on the writting.
The guy is clearly not a writter .
There's some event that are really well told, others just awful, most of the time average.

It doesn't match the renders quality, it doesn't match the long wait between update, and it certainly doesn't match the expectation I had for an author that has been discribed as a perfectionist .

To be fair, mostly people have spoken about L&P's perfectionism in respect to his rendering rather than his writing. He has spoken before in this thread about spending thirty minutes on a single render, about the same time he seemed happy that V0.130 update was near 1,000 renders.

You are not the first person to comment on the seeming drop in quality of the writing. Sometimes his dialogue can feel stilted - I presume that that is because he writes initially in German and then translates to English. One example is the scene with Andy and Cathy in the last update. We were told how they felt and what they had experienced when younger, rather than being shown it .

I am still (perhaps naively) hopeful. The writing is not classic literature by a long shot, but it is still better than 99% of the VN / games on this site. And I am still (cautiously) hopeful that he can tell the story of Sophia's accelerating corruption, without losing what was special in I the story so far.

I am nervous about his seeming focus on the 2nd side job. I personally can't play it in it's current form and I am concerned as to how he might push that particular storyline. But if I can ignore that one route and L&P can crank out smaller updates in a more timely fashion, then maybe I can enjoy continue playing the rest of forthcoming updates.

Yes - I have used a lot of conditional if statements. It could yet go all wrong. I do understand the fears and concerns that many of the long-time members contributing to this thread have had.
