I dunno their reasonings, but I suspect at least partly (and also why it's not taken off much here) is that it's not really much more than just a simple animation loader as it is now. The animations are pretty well done (for the models you're working with at least, the genital attachment seams are pretty rough) so you have some skill there, but with no story, romance, or really even barely a premise to accompany them; setting up a whole renpy project for it all all seems unnecessary and I imagine if I was just a fan of the animations it'd feel like just a buncha of extra shit to download to get what I want. If your intentions with this is to pretty much just make an animation loader, then yeah the hard truth is that it's probally an unnecessary project as a whole and you might be better off just releasing them directly.

If you do want it to be it's own project though, you should start working on establishing the premise and story and all the other visual novel design pillars sooner rather than later, I'd even say stop adding animations immediately as each one is a spoiler for what should be rewarded through building romance. You need to capture people's lasting interest for the project with a solid prologue that makes them invested and excited to further interact with your cast of characters, not just fap to instantly accessible animations and leave.

If you're able to do that, and it's a cute, fun, enjoyable story, I can easily see this project having it's own subscribed fans who will be demanding you work more on it and less on your other stuff. The potential project I see here is very much in the same vein as something like Hazzlenut Latte, which you should definitely use as inspiration if you haven't seen it before.

Pretty much, make the most optimized form of what you most want to make. If it's animations, then release animations without all the renpy distractions. If it's a Visual Novel, then make a VN first then add the animations.
That's what I do. I make stories. the animation part it secondary for me. But the VN thing is different. What I don't like in most VN games is unnecessary gameplay elements. Like having money or exp or whatever. So I wanted a simple game were you just explore a place that every single choice leads to porn. I had a way more complicated project than that to make but I started with this mostly to see what I can do code wise.

People don't want to support me for projects like that. If they did it would be a very different story. If you watch my animations you will understand that everything has a story. But yeah adding story here is difficult because I have no idea how to code. This game barely runs to be honest. Even for this game I have plans to make the characters get to know the femboys better and get extra stuff along the way. (all choice give you porn!). But yeah. This would never happen since this project has no support and I have no time to hone my skills.

I have too many projects that I'm working on as always. Too many characters, backstories to write and a ton of scenes to animate. I love this project. But in the end my time working is backed by the fans. This projects is my free time which I have none. It's a shame because I like the idea of making a VN with different choices and situations. But there is no time to animate, to write, and to learn to code.
