Now that I think more, I understand that the following automatically increases sexual tension (strong desire for sex and waiting):
Strong story
Strong characterization
Deepening the characters
Combat system: because it makes the relationships with the girl characters in the game feel more real
A lot of text but interesting
A sex scene every 40 minutes (if there was a sex scene every 5 minutes, it would make the girls feel lewd, which is ridiculous)
Etc
In fact, the fact that you said there are couple dozen sexy animations is enough for me
Ah yeah we have quite a bit in the way of dialogue and I feel our character writing is par none tbh, might sound a bit braggadocios to say that, but yeah I think we nailed our characters.
I believe in our character's side stories HEAVILY right now. I think Scylla's is some of my better writing, Cheese worked very hard on Hiho's, and Samara's really changes up the gameplay/framing which I think was neat. I love Whispering brook and I want to continue expanding on it, albeit, the dungeon is a bit too long with not enough relief/breaks. Gonna add in a small shop/refuge area in the library area.
We're working on quests to flesh out the brothel too.
Combat is still rough but we are working on it... we really want to get it standing on its own merit. Sex scenes can be spaced out in hours tbh... but you have access to fast payoff sex scenes, too.
