5 years later and we finally get a progress on a Grassmere story (I hope) for the next updates. Even from the very first teaser version of this game almost 5 years ago I wanted to explore this particular branch across all Kathia first. I hope it's not gonna be as short as Kaelkirk branch (this story arc was pretty much disappointing in it's current form right now, honestly).
SeventhVixen, you've created some cool stories and a whole immersive world to imagine and to live within it's adventure for some happy hours. Know that this is your strong side - to weave all these multitudes of characters and imaginary world systems in a peculiar intertwining forms, which keeps player excited about what will come next and how all of this will turn out.
Porn component (and particularly animations) is secondary to your game, and it's never been your strong side. If I would have been in your shoes, I'd go as far as to remove all animations from the game in favor of static pictures, your separate renders are WAY better immersion-wise than your animation attempts. Unless you have a strong desire to improve yourself in regard to this. Oh, and I admire your dedication to a plan you formed years ago - that you still try to create coherent story with multiple branches, all connected to what you already created at start.
promising but alas once more a game where I can't use my own Noble name, so immersion is down the drain.
Same with "The Witcher" game series, the games are still great though. I dunno, I can associate myself with the behaviour of sir Patrick pretty well - I play as ambitious\horny hybrid + partially moralistic a.k.a. slightly knightly, slightly pious decisions from time to time. The way I roleplay Patrick is even closer to my personality patterns than any kind of options there are for Geralt of Rivia in Witcher series for example : D
So, speaking of immersion... If you can name a playable character with the name of your choice, but if you don't have control over the choices, emotional reactions, solutions, ways etc - it still fails to create a desirable immersion, if all this narrative isn't aligned with your own nature.
P.S. I never even once achieved orgasm watching sexual scenes in this game, yet I read most dialogues (with exception of psychedelic trips in Kaelkirk story arc). The game is absolutely unfappable (or should I say "unorgasmic") IMO (mostly because of the weird angles and animations quality). Yet I absolutely love the game for it's world building and story, overall atmosphere.
