Ha! You guys probably already know this but I just accidentally found out that if you have Lin call you daddy at the beginning of the game, the two girls react with some unique dialog. Fucking awesome, nice touch.
I have no idea how many there are, but I know of a couple of names you can have Lin call you that causes a unique response. Sad to say, there isn't one for when you name your character Richard and want Lin (or any of the other girls, for that matter) to call you Dick. (*hopes Runey is listening*)

No Runey is still making just this game.
The Toymaster is a Hentai Comic he makes detailing what happened if you lost to Cornwall.
Well, not 'lost', persay, you don't have to win to make a change, as long as Lin is obedient and try to do anything you ask, you show that 'your methods' are sound. This is more if you did not compete at all, or lost abysmally, like Lin didn't even try do anything you asked.

Felicity got some nice animations in 60 frames per second.
Petting and fingering? That's two things I really like. If you're stepping up the framerate of the animations though, I really hope you've looked into using webm files rather than webp sequences. Something like half the game's size is animation already.

Converting it to webm or any other video format would either not reduce the file size any, increase the file size, or lower the quality too much. At least that's what I can remember from a friend of mine trying to see if webm is viable.

Another note to add to that, I've been told that videos don't loop in Renpy well at all, and when they do, they stutter like crazy.

Is there some longterm benefit to NOT treating the elves like slaves? Cuz right now it seems the only difference is Sex Scene vs No Sex Scene.

I started a new playthrough since I went with the love route first and got completely stonewalled. You get one decent scene per girl and they kinda hate you for it and two of the three of them openly dislike what they're doing and it just kinda made me feel weird.

Basically, it's not worth even worrying about it yet until they've got more content and right now we've got no way of knowing how that story is going to progress. I've got saves for both routes now so whatever I guess.

Either you misremembered or your friend seriously misinformed you. Proper video codecs are far more efficient than storing individual frames. I converted one of Lin's anal scenes to webm, it weighs in at about 10% of the size of the individual frames. You can see for yourself what the quality is like. I included an updated "animations_and_flags" file, so you can drop this right in the "game" folder and test it. Personally, I can't really tell the difference between it and the other outfits even knowing which one it is (It's the "slut" outfit).

The reason is keyframes. Basically, the only time a full frame is stored is when the camera cuts to a new shot or the scene radically changes. An explosion suddenly making everything orange, for instance. All other times, each frame only contains information on how it's different from the preceding frame. If you have something like a shot of a character speaking in a cartoon, say, Family Guy, you can radically cut down on the information stored for each frame by using an initial keyframe and having the rest of the frames only contain partial data primarily regarding the speaking character's face.

Okay so, I just want to take a minute to say how much I absolutely love this game. It honestly surprised me how much I enjoyed it because I'm not typically a huge fan of harem games but this one is special.

I feel like in a lot of harem games, the girls are treated like Pokémon. We catch em all, use them a bit and that's all there is to them. I genuinely fell in love with the girls in this game though. Almost all of them are unique and special in some way. Sure, they're all based on one trope or another but they still have a personality that's believable and attractive.

More than that, though, the group dynamic as a whole stood out to me. Each of the characters in the story were broken in some way. They had all experienced some personal hardship or tragedy in their lives that brought them together. It's heavy shit at times. Abuse, neglect, death, bullying... things must of us can relate to at some point in our lives have brought these characters together in this unusual family and it's easy for me as I play the game to feel a sense of connection to them. I want to fix these people. I don't know if that's what Runey was necessarily going for here but that's how I feel. Yeah it's a sex game and yeah they're fun to play with but more than that, I want to protect them and fix them and make them happy.

I feel like this is less a harem game and more like I'm establishing a personal, meaningful relationship with each of them individually. I just... I don't know guys.. this game hit me right in the feels and I can't stop thinking about it. It's amazing.

... I totally posted this in the wrong thread a sec ago btw, I hope no one noticed that.
