I don't mind slowburn. But there's not enough progression in AWAM. It's advancing at a snail's pace, rather than slowly. At the present rate of progress, Sophia will be an old woman before she does anything remotely naughty. I agree the standard of writing is high, but I just find it a very frustrating game.
Yeah it's frustrating, and people on the thread feel the same way. But whatever it's doing is working. The game is one of the most popular porn games ever made, top 3 on this site alone. I guess the silent majority enjoy and tolerate a porn game that lacks sex if the writing is compelling enough cuz they know it will come eventually

to the point that the game hijacks another games forum page
while not as hot as 1st season, Anna is still one of hotter games around while A wife and mother still has mother unsexed by anyone but her husband which is fine for a novel but not for a porn game.
That mother will be virtious for a while unless something happen to husband and she becomes a widow
then only if the husband is caught with another woman or better man, dog, sheep, horse, she may cheat or have sexy scenes

while Anna is a slut through and through, she has fucked every man in the story at least once

My guess is, most of his patrons are people who love slowburn games above all else, and don't want the female protagonist to be badly corrupted. The kind of people who really want Andrew and Anna to make a go of it, even though it's obvious the game was initially set up for him to get dumped. In all these types of games, they're always moaning that they don't get accommodated with some specific route where the protagonist can be kept pure. And that's why they love AWAM, because Sophia's corruption is glacially slow. Yeah, I'm sure the better writing plays a big role too, but I don't think it's the only reason. If you like that kind of content, there aren't a lot of options. Which is why AWAM is able to have so many patrons, and why it's the second most viewed game on this site, after 'Being a Dik'.

If you like 'faster' corruption games like this one, there are literally dozens of other options out there, which are reasonably good. But with slowburn games, there's only a handful really, and most of them like 'Jessica O'Neil' don't get updated very often. Which I think is why so many people who are big fans of that genre, end up playing games like this one. Which is generally the opposite of what they actually enjoy.

My guess is, the reason you think Season 2 isn't as hot, is because the Devs have expanded the game with more routes. In Season 1, there was effectively only one route ( the only variation being whether Jeremy was alive or dead ). That mean't that the main corruption route predominated, and Deep was able to incorporate more scenes on that. In Season 2, more routes have been added, that follow a softer corruption path, and that means there is less time in each update, to pursue scenes on the main 'harder' corruption route. Also they've expanded the storyline, so they need to include a lot more cut scenes than they needed during the first season.

I've been following this game virtually from the beginning, and I've played both seasons dozens of times. Let's just say I'm probably it's Number 1 fan, and I think about it quite a lot. I don't think the scenes in Season 1 are that much better. I think a lot of people look back on Season 1 with fond memories, and remember that every update took Anna's corruption up a notch, but that was only possible because the game was so linear, all you could decide was whether she had sex or not. Now in Season 2, we have much more of a real choice, which will continue to grow and evolve, until at the end there will be several totally different versions of Anna.

Believe me, I understand the frustration of the slower development of Anna's corruption during Season 2. Although I play everything, I still favour the 'harder' corruption route that made up the bulk of Season 1, and at the time was probably the best content of it's type around, which is another reason why people probably look back so fondly at Season 1.

I think people have a perception that things have gone downhill since then, which isn't really accurate. The first porn scene and the first Bar scene in Chapter 2, in my opinion were both better than anything in Chapter 1. Also in Chapter 2 Anna has effectively become a prostitute, and seems perfectly ok with it, she's pretty much accepted Patrick and Jeremy using her as a fucktoy, and seems to get excited by having sex in riskier and riskier situations, where Andrew could easily discover her. She's now a Porn Star, could end up as a gang boss and now seems to be forming connections with some of the richest and most powerful people in Sun City. Her corruption has moved on massively. So there has been quite a lot of hot and hard corruption content in Chapter 2, but interspersed with somewhat softer content to develop the additional routes and a lot more cut scenes with no sex, to progress the expanded storyline. So it's definitely changed, but is it less hot? I don't think so.

And I firmly believe Deep and Awake are planning future scenes, that will blow everything in Chapter 1 out of the water. This is one of the longest running adult games ( it's now in it's eighth year ), and I fully expect it to be one of the very few that will last over 10 years. One thing you can be sure of, the Devs will want to end this game with a real big bang (literally).

Actually Anna hasn't fucked every man in the storyline (yet). But she's fucked a much much higher percentage of this games characters, than in any other comparable game. She is literally now the biggest slut in adult games, well at least in VN type photo-realistic games anyway, by some considerable margin. Until it was rebooted, Anne from 'The Adventurous Couple' was Number 1, but now she's playing catch-up again, and with all the new characters the Devs have introduced recently, all of whom Anna will likely fuck eventually, I think Anne will have to settle for the Number 2 position ( in any case she's not the game protagonist, so does it really count?)

I don't think its the number of routes at least for me. For me it is the lack of conflict and tension. Also poor storytelling, they took her down a pure slut path with to much ease. A reluctant slut is far hotter than a super slut gagging for sex from ever cock available.

I still love the VN and I keep hoping the writing improves in a direction I like, if not I am still glad other people are enjoying it and I still love to watch the animated scenes because Anna is still one of my favorite MC's, at least in the looks category.

I disagree. I think she was reluctant pretty much all the way through Chapter 1, with most of the characters. Blackmail was a very big part of Chapter 1, so you can hardly say she was willingly having sex with Jeremy, or at the Bar. And she wasn't exactly ok having sex with Ashley, John or even Sergey to begin with. Also she had a legitimate medical reason ( a head trauma ) for her suddenly becoming rampantly horny everytime someone made sexual advances. This isn't made up, such things do happen with people who have suffered severe concussions. Whereas, in most of these types of games, it's generally just down to pure lust.

Towards the end of Chapter 1, a lot of people were saying to Deep, that they thought Anna was too reluctant. She should be accepting that she was now a slut, and that would make the game much hotter. So there's a lot of people who take the opposite viewpoint to yours. And even now she still isn't entirely comfortable with being that way. She tells Jeremy that she gets no fun from his games, she's reluctant to tell Emily what she really gets up to on her business trips, she still gets embarrassed stripping off completely on the beach. I think deep down she's accepted her new slutty identity, but she still worries how other people might perceive it. And because of that she's reluctant to tell even Emily. Who is probably the most easy going character in the game, and pretty slutty in her own right.

So if you just take account what she actually gets up to, you could say she's now a total slut. But I don't think she is yet, because she hasn't totally accepted it in her own mind, and it's likely on some of the routes that she'll never accept it, and will try to row back and become more normal. In the end, it will come down to whether she accepts any cure, that Schmitt or perhaps Cary comes up with. If she doesn't, then she's condemning herself to a life of complete debauchery, and she'll continue spiralling down the rabbit hole.

Exactly all the way through chapter 1, there was conflict, tension and blackmail which made it interesting. If Deep listened to the people saying she was too reluctant then that a shame, as that's what made it interesting seeing how she would get herself out of the situation.

After chapter 1 it was like alight switch went off and it was time to go full slut, no tension, no reluctance, no real blackmail. Boring in other words. They tried to bring it back a little with the "Ohh she had to help Andrew because she needed to pay his medical bill. I'm betting almost none of the people whop played through chapter 1 could give a rats ass about Andrew.

To each there own as it's the devs story to tell the way he wants to tell it. I may not like the direction he has taken our MC but I still check in on occasion to see where the story is currently. If that's the direction the Dev wants to go and the Patreons like this direction, then it is what it is. I don't support the Dev anymore because I don't find the story interesting as is stands currently, but as a non supporter my thoughts on this title count for very little.

It wasn't really a case of him listening and changing his mind. He has to strike a balance, between what different patrons want. And other peoples opinions are just as valid as yours. You may not agree with them, but that's just the way of the world. And he'd be a very poor Dev if he totally ignored a sizeable portion of the people who support this game.

As far as Andrew is concerned, his role originally in the game, was to be the guy that Anna cheated on. Deep deliberately made him an unsympathetic character, so people wouldn't feel bad about Anna cheating on him. Eventually he was going to be discarded whatever route you ended up. But Deep wanted to keep him in the game as long as possible, but the shooting was not part of the plan back then.

A lot of patrons didn't like Andrew at all, because Deep made him too unlikeable. And there was a groundswell of opinion amongst a large number of patrons for him to have an early exit. But Deep told patrons that that was not option. He'll bend a certain amount, but some things are just off the table and set in stone. And Andrew's continued participation in this game, even if most patrons loathe him, isn't up for discussion. So instead he held a poll, where either the game would continue in the same vein or Andrew would have an accident and end up in a coma. And the majority voted for him to end up in a coma, on the understanding that he'd be out of the game for several weeks ( gametime).

Anna paying the medical bill was really all about her having to do questionable things to earn the money in a short space of time. It was the pretext for Anna's accelerated corruption, because she felt she had no choice but to do these things, to save Andrew from becoming permanently crippled. Now Patrons may not like Andrew, but Anna doesn't feel the same way. She may have stopped loving him, but she doesn't hate him and had a lot of sympathy for his predicament, and she felt very strongly that she still owed him, because he'd been around to support her in her home town, these last few years, when she's had so many issues with her drunk of a father. And also there's a certain amount of guilt for cheating on him with all these guys, and doing that was assuaging that guilt, so if necessary she can eventually move on with a clear conscience.

For me, with this storyline they were starting the route to what will probably be the 'bad' ending, where she surrenders to her condition and falls to the bottom of the rabbit hole and ends up as a prostitute or something very close to that. Everything that has happened to Anna in the game so far has been a consequence of something else, whether it's been her condition, being blackmailed or desperately needing money for one thing or another. So her becoming a slut has not been a conscious choice most of the time, it's been due to circumstances outside her control. So she's still able to come back from this, all she needs to do is take the cure, and her exaggerated libido will drop. And presumedly she'll be more in control and no longer a slave to her desires. But if she doesn't take the cure, then she's consciously choosing to be a slut, and after that there's no going back and she ends up as a slave to her lust.

And there have been so many instances in recent updates, where she's been literally prostituting herself. And I don't think she's fully consciously aware yet what she could be becoming. How long before she's working in the Black Cat Brothel for real or whoring herself out in the Park with Brianna? I think she's some way from that yet. I think something pretty dramatic will have to happen for Anna to fall that low. And my guess is, it will have something to do with drugs? I mean after all she is going to be running a drug gang, so I'm guessing at some point she'll be offered the temptation to start sampling the goods? And maybe her doing weed, with the young college guys, is the beginning of such a scenario?

She may be on the rise at the moment, but I think eventually there'll be an option for her to fall as well.

Page 1000! :p
Damn! I wanted to be the first to post on Page 1000. I was just gonna put down anything to see if it turned the page, but I had to leave the room for 30 seconds. I could always delete my last post, so you'll get relegated to page 999, but I won't.

In any case, well done to all the people who have contributed to this thread over the last 7 years. Only another 16723 pages needed to catch up 'Being a Dik'
