I'm not sure how other people on this thread think about that, but animations make a game more immversive than trying to read a bunch of text hiding the "action" of the sex scenes. It may slow down production, but people may think that quantity is more important than quality. I would rather wait a month or two for a decent size update with animations, than a bunch of smaller ones with just a bunch of stills and lots of text describing the "action" during parts of the game. Same goes with background music and sound effects. Playing a game without those is like watching a movie or tv show on mute. You can see what's happening, but it's very boring. I know there are a lot of plugins for daz to make animations easier and quicker to help with making games. The same goes for the text. When a scene shows the MC kissing or hugging one of the women, a description isn't needed on the screen to see what's happening. Having a kissing sound effect would make it more immersive.
I am completely sure that with very little effort you can have several games that fulfill those specific needs.
What does that mean in this case? It means that not everything needs to be the same. That this title isn't about animations and pretty sounds.
Another important aspect, is that "You would rather wait" and from there you build an argument that we all should also be OK with that, just because you are. So, what happens is that Many of the players and supporters of MoonBox and this game, prefer to abdicate of the luxury of animations and sound effects, get something more akin to a written novel with images support and enjoy the fast production.
It isn't about quality versus quantity, it's about how you define quality, to many of us here, we define it with fast production and release. It produces a different type of satisfaction, the constant influx of new content of our (many, many of us) favorite game.
Also, from someone that learned to read on paper comics, many years ago, it is possible to create our own "animations" in our minds with our imagination. The same with sounds. Heck, I got used to do it without even images, it's called reading BTW.
You mention "immersion" as if that is the be all and end all of everything, I'm sorry. Immersion shouldn't be provided, it should be created by the reader. Or player.
Am I saying that you are wrong? No, you are just presuming that everyone needs their food pre-masticated. Some of us find great pleasure in doing that work ourselves.
Instead of discovering the gunpowder and coming here to preach for us your extolled virtues of what amounts to fast-food, please understand that this isn't a general rule, and some of us prefer slow long diners 2 times a month, instead of a fast-food extravaganza once every 2 months (or more, much more).
Peace
