I was thinking about something... L&P Said sex won't be for a few days in game. That is a lot of time in real life. So, lets just say 3-5 years from now. For arguments sake lets say 10 years total development time before the first non Liam cock. No game has gone such a massive amount of time without sex and then added sex. These are uncharted waters.
What is going to happen to the fan base at that point in time?
People are going to lose their mind...
It is going to do one of 5 things to the players...
1) Jealousy Response: It was not enough sex, or wasn't with the guy they wanted it to be to get first dibs... We got a lot of Dylan Fans gonna be fighting Aiden Fans, and the Sam fans all attacking each other if their favorite little dude does not get to smash first. Maybe it will be a grandpa, or the subway guys or the homeschool kids. Could be the Don's brother just swoops in... Folks are gonna be PISSED it's not their guy 1st.
2) Apathy Response: Meh I'll take any update don't care. No change here.
3) Happy Coomer Response: Yay finally sex... no more waiting it's all sex from now on! Goodbye Blue Balls!
4) Disappointed Response: Oh... so this thing built up uniquely on teasing for a decade is now about sex? Heh... I want more of the teasing! It was the only game about teasing to the extreme, and now they just add sex... What the hell! I want my blue balls back! It was no nut november, and then I came... thanks a lot asshole!
5) Troll Response: Trolls are gonna troll!
It's gonna be weird... It is very unpredictable and volatile. The game was built so much on teasing that an addition of sex has the potential to be catastrophic because everyone knows it's about teasing. Adding sex may bring back former supporters or new ones however...
One thing is for sure though.... After all that build up... If it is not HUGE and fantastic and great it is going to let a lot of people down.
I honestly don't know what is going to happen. There is no way to know. It has never been done before.
That's easily the BEST and FUNNIEST comment I've read on this forum. I also agree all the way bro, well written, 5 star stellar marks.
L&P canny enough to know all along sales figures will peak at first smash, then gradually decline as fanny lockdown ends with Sophia finally going bargain basement with the last old grunter at the nursing home emptying his nuts.
The oldest trick in a writers book knowing sex is (and always has been) 95% effort / 5% fun.
Yea, serious long-term cash in tease and blueballing.
1. L&P announced that this update will have an "special thing".
2. L&P said that he got a helper for the 'special thing'.
3. L&P opened a thread asking how to incorporate a Daz character into blender without errors.
4. We can infer that the "special thing" was going to do by the helper in blender, but the helper didn't know too much about Daz, so, L&P did the research. The helper is a blender specialist and blender is mostly for animations.
5. L&P started to call the 'special thing' as add-on. We can infer that the helper told him that what he wants requires a blender add-on.
6. I searched blender add-on in youtube, there are too many.
7. I searched blender add-on here in f95zone and one took my attention:
If there's one thing this game doesn't need, it's extras, which only delay development even more. It would really make sense to find ways to distribute the work on more shoulders, or to delete some of the nonsensical side stories (or make them a DLC).
But, It's just ridiculous, when the development time of a single game day takes more than a year and more than 15 of these game days are still planned, to even think of giving this game more content would be of any use. In the end, there will be a bunch of half-told stories, created in a technology that is completely outdated in a few years.

It will most likely happen. He made a comment about going back and working on the CS/Renders from PD 1-4 or 5 to bring in line with his current work. So if he becomes fatigued or burnout, he might move on or revisit the past scenes, IMO.
So before the thread gets hold hostage of the "when update?" "why not update?" "what addon?" "any hero?" "when next update" (if it is not already the case) let's make a little recap of what's to come in the update.
Development
This is gonna be the Chapter 2 of AWAM, meaning we won't get the previous events released with this one and a new automatic(?) update system is put in place to download only the new content, at least for the patrons. We won't see this in action before 0.160. It's not clear if this is related to the mysterious "add-on" that has been delayed the release, that should be more something related to the game itself.
There will be probably a patch to download and install in the old 0.150 that enables to save all your choices and load them in the new version as explained here.
And there will be a brand new wallpaper in the main screen of the game:
4th Task during the literature lesson
.
Sophia has to dress in a "lascivious business style with sexy stockings" as per Aiden order in the previous Nathalie's event.
From the first teaser we know that "She also won't go exactly like this "revealing" above to work." (patreon post)
She is wearing a bra contrary to Aiden requests, so it is to see if she will remove it just before class or she will e.g. decide to try to bargain with Aiden.
In any case from the second teaser we know she is not wearing it, so it will be interesting to see at which point she will need to take it off, how and where.
Now, the common speculations is that the task will play along the lines of the first 2 at different extents and seemingly in a more daring challenge to embarrass Sophia in front of the class. More than that, including explicit nudity or sex acts in front of the whole class, is highly improbable and most likely not in the spirit of the story (at least so far).
The second teaser obviously made speculations go wild. What is she doing in that squatting position in the classroom? Is she still wearing panties (it seems so) or is she removing them? Can the other students (Evelyn) see that? Is it really part of the task? Are all the students still actually in the classroom or e.g. is that happening during the break with only Aiden and possibly Andre? (and Jennifer)? Or is it just some red herring to mislead us as usual? Could it be she's squatting because she had to wear some remote-controlled toy and now she cannot take it when pushed to the max level?
Another interesting aspect, beside the nature of the task itself, would be to see if the 3 possible endings[1] for the previous 3rd task will somehow affect this event. Whether it will be just a matter of slight changes of the dialogues or some actions will be different. **For example** whether Sophia went through all the groping with Ares **could** be tied to the following bonus event?
Bonus event
.
We have been given 3 teasers for the bonus event. All we know is that Sophia is watching something happening in the corridor (1st teaser), probably Aiden, Andre and Jennifer furtively entering an empty classroom (2nd pixelated teaser) and once inside everything is set to make believe that Jennifer is putting up a show for Aiden and Jennifer (3rd teaser).
Now, so many questions here! First, why the pixelated teaser?? What's hiding behind the pixelated cloud? After the 3rd teaser it might seem obvious that they are Andre and Jennifer. But why then covering them? Could it be Sophia instead? Or is it hiding the fact that the 2 students are signalling Sophia to join them?
Is Sophia going to peep on them from the glass of the door? Or is she even inside the room with them? And why? And, above all, where is her purse???
Are they now involving Sophia in a recurrent routine they had? In any case, will there be the inevitable, usual interruption, like someone walking on them (like in the alternate teasers by eastdot. )?
L&P has said that this update will be "hot af" and that the new feature/addon will play a fundamental role for better experiencing the scene, hence the delayed release. Most of us agree that it cannot be anything else than animation, given the various hints (e.g. converting the asset for Blender). There could be also sound involved and someone I think went as far as proposing a full navigable 3D environment... Probably too much?!!
Sure thing the update has been hyped a lot, already when it comes to Aiden's tasks there are always a lot of expectations and curiosity, now with all the mysterious teasers and the new "feature" they are at a new high.
Don Morello - quid pro quo?
This is supposedly a very short scene in which Sophia will ask for help to deal with Aiden, but with a potential big turn in the whole story.
From how the things are at the moment it seems that it will only happen if Sophia made Larry particularly happy showing at least her breasts. That's the condition for her to think about asking for help right after the call during Nathalie event.
And it is to see if Sophia has the choice to go to Morello refusing the 4th task or **after** the task, in a "enough is enough" moment.
It will be also interesting to see if she can ask for help even if she didn't go that far. If so, there could be a deal to be made with Morello, as it may have some conditions on his own. If Sophia made Larry very happy, Morello, beside scratching the whole debt, is even feeling in debt with her, so he **could** do it for "free". In all the other conditions, if it were to be the case, there could be some strings attached. Which, obviously, is going to open new interesting developments in the story.
Unrelated to this release but more for the story down the road, it will be interesting if Bennet is mentioned at all in this update as we know that Morello can be a solution for him as well. But only for either of the 2 of them. Probably Aiden has the "priority" and if you choose to stay on Aiden's path will you get the option later? Or, e.g., there will be a quick and surprising appearance of Bennet that instills the dilemma on which one of the two use Morello's card?
As usual all the information about this update and the next events is available here thanks to the hard and strenuous work of Apollodore (even from his mountain retreat! ).
[1] Once she accepts to meet with Aiden, the task is automatically fulfilled.
On the other hand depending on the choices during the art class there are 3 different paths:
1) she refuses to dress as Aphrodite, there will be small talk with students at the end but not showing of the paintings and no Ares/Aiden at all.
2) if she stop Ares from groping her, there will be small talk with students at the end but not showing of the paintings and Aiden won't reveal Ares was him.
3) if she has wine and allows Ares, she will look at the paintings at the end and Aiden reveals he was Ares.
