What happened in Foot of the Mountain?

As far as I can remember...

Imagine you build up a slow burn game. However, it is a sandbox and the sandbox is filled with Russian Grind... Update after update after update... The game is making slow progress, but progress. They build it up like your male protagonist is finally maybe going to win the heart and body and sexuality of this Milf that things have been slowly chipping away at FOREVER...

At the last minute... Change up! Instead of MC going in there to lay the pipe... All the sudden some random dude shows up and it's similar to when Eric showed up in Big Brother. The game doesn't go on much longer after that and this random dude is fucking the MC's love interest instead of him.

Then they slap a completed tag on there.

Well, that stinks. That dev deserves a foot up the ass.

By the way, answering my own question, I think that in this update we can see a completely different task from Aiden for Sophia!
What do I mean?
Earlier, Aiden forced Sofia to demonstrate herself in front of the class, in front of unfamiliar boy artists, and what if the essence of this task is that Sofia will have to look at some kind of explicit scene? For example, a sex scene?
Aiden and his girlfriend are having sex, and Sophia should look at them to the end and leave only after Aiden's conditional signal?
In this case, it makes sense to include animation in the game! A sex scene with animation can be much more spectacular than just drawings. I can't expect any actions from Sophia that are worth animating at this stage of the game.

Honestly I feel that the "special event" or "thing" that L&P is talking about is going to be a huge disappointment, atleast for me. It will be great if it is really not the case but I've decided to not give too much importance to L&P's built up for any event.

The Morellos seem to be the closest to "Eric" in AWAM as far as I can tell so far. Tony is suave, rich, powerful, so could easily sweep Sophia off her feet if he was so inclined. My impression was that he wasn't, but was using his power as a threat to Liam so that he treated Sophia properly and not gamble away the house.

Although Carl is pretty close to that description too.

 

[SubtleHustle]

dev burnt out and basically wrapped it up in the shittiest/quickest way possible
in the end all the plot was lost lmao

So, the dev ended up like much of the players. I too burned out after playing one update of Foot of The Mountain. That fucking game was a headache of a fucking grindfest. Never looked back or ever really thought about it for at least two years now. Renders were pretty decent at the time though.

Generally you can't have an "Eric" sitaution in a female protagonist game as a female lead can pretty much fuck all the guys without it being NTR... However AWAM is not the typical mold... the massive amount of build up given to numerous other male characters without adequate payoff, and then some new guy rolls in and she is daydreaming about his dong?

From what I saw, that was pretty much the reaction of many players to Larry. Especially to players like me who play the lesbian route. From what I've seen so far, the only way to clear the debt to Tony is for Sophia to completely hit on Larry. Which for the lesbian route, the only one that actually requires the event, is completely bizarre and makes no sense.

I am still waiting for the subway thugs. If it gets teasers and announced ahead of time... I'm gonna lose my fucking mind and go REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! For it to be worth the huge wait it needs to be a surprise as much as possible.

 

[MyHottWife]

There will be just two updates this year. Mark my words.
yeah, keep giving him more money

What happened in Foot of the Mountain?

The Dev sat and delayed the last release for a while and then, he was burned out I am fairly sure, just did a cutscene to answer all the various paths. It was a bit of a detective story so he had an investigator come in and do the gather all the suspects and talk through who was the guilty party. Like the ending to Clue but without any humor and missing some major questions.

 

[arifarfi]

Does anyone have the last teaser?

 

[PietruccioTheHilander]

Does anyone have the last teaser?

it will not be shared

 

[Alley_Cat]

I wouldn't worry about it. Last couple of teasers have been pretty boring anyway. It's not like Sophia is going to fuck anybody this update. We haven't even heard if there's going to be any nudity, unlike say, the Yoga event.

Facts. This is when I dropped FOTM. It felt like a betrayal from the Dev at that point and no one saw that coming. All those months, grind for this kind of outcome was, I repeat, A PURE BETRAYAL. That's another problem of long development cycles besides the risks of abandonment = story-telling drops in the non-sense zone or get influenced by the highest pledgers pressure.

Yes, unfortunately, you're right!

So this will be a tease about the new thing you are working on? I am all for it XD

No, it will be a little teaser about the scene where the "new thing" will take place

Yeah. I mean, I'm a pessimist about the game because often I'm proved right. Occasionally I'm wrong, like I was about the Sam event last update, or even the Ellie shower of v.115. Or the Nat event of the last update. Both the last Ellie and Nat events I was happy to be wrong, because it meant I got more content than I was expecting.

Even for v.130 I got twice the content I was expecting - 10 minutes instead of 5, despite not playing the routes the update was mainly concerned with. But this update, about 3 months wait for 5 seconds of content, that has me concerned.

butterfly flies in my stomach for next update ^^

This alerted not only you, but all of us, those who like AWAM!
The only thing that gives me optimism is that he claims that the next update will be delivered much faster. Time will pass and we will see how much he will be able to keep his promise.

You might want to get that looked at. I don't believe butterflies are part of a healthy gut microbiome.

I have followed this game from the beginning and I have defended it from people who continually complained that there was no sex. But this last update has left me out. That the first sexual interaction with someone other than her husband happens with the cockroach that is Sam has disappointed me greatly. The most creepy character in the game is the one who gets a reward and incidentally takes all the feeling of reality to the trash. Of course it's just my opinion, but really Sam? yuck
