I have never agreed with the two of you more than I do right now. Animations are over-requested and rarely, if ever, improve the game. There is nothing that a poorly animated scene has over a well rendered sex scene. As I've repeatedly said if someone needs animation, or sound, to fap to then they should go to a well-known porn site and get to jacking or jilling.
If a developer tells a good enough story and has beautiful art the animations are just a waste of time. These games don't have the budget (in time or money) to spend on creating animations, a lot of developers don't know how to create them, and the delay that implementing them causes just makes everyone frustrated.

We have games where we could do without animations and then we have City of Broken Dreamers. Without I contradict your claim, animation in CoBD creates a whole new pillar of experience.
To mention something to the game, although MC sometimes squirms too much. I prefer him to (by some) the desired alpha male, the master of all creation that everyone must obey.

There are always exceptions to every rule.
Sadly for every City of Broken Dreamers there are 50 abominations of games development that should never be seen by a human being, ever.
Philly has some incredible looking scenes in his game but those scenes take months to put together and he takes great pride in what he does.
There are also other games on here with buttery smooth animations that look amazing.
Those are very few and far between though.

That is why I put everything in terms of benefit and cost. If you are just looking at the benefit, with no regards to the cost, animations are less of a problem.
I am waiting till CoBD is finished to play it so I don't know about it. But Where it all began, for example, looks amazing. Nobody is complaining about the benefits. The problem is the costs. WIAB has, reportedly, 33 chapters. It is taking around 6 months to release each chapter (currently chapter 6). While not everything is animation related, most of Ocean's reports suggest that that is the current bottleneck.
I was trying to be diplomatic about it but I can't disagree with anything you said lol.
Devs being honest about their limitations should only create good will towards their project. I understand there is a lot of pressure to deliver but sometimes it is baffling how that pressure can lead to even the most self aware, transparent creators putting out inferior quality content. I think most people would be understanding, and more appreciative of the work, if they were being told, "I'm only going to give you my best effort, and if something isn't up to snuff, I'm leaving it out." That type of honesty would go a long way, at least with me.
Shit. Is the vaginal sex tag only here because of the flashbacks? or do you get with any of the women yet?

You do. One of the girls from the lesbian couple you sell the house to.
And I find it very funny your signature "STOP MAKING GAMES WITHOUT ANIMATION" when we are just complaining about them. Talk about the right moment haha.
Lol well we do live in the 21st century, porn mags are outdated and so are sex games without animation. But most animations aren't worth it anyways. People never put in enough effort for them to be good enough to become a pateron. Just one scene where he or she moves back and forth is trash. We need position change animations now too. But I get it's not worth what they make.

I wouldn't say that they are outdated. Visual Novels (most of the games in this site fall under that banner) are supposed to be played as if you were reading a book, but with a more "interactive" approach so you can inmerse better in that particular story. That's why I don't mind if the game has animations or not, but if you're including them, better be sure that they are good.

but why whenever the message has to be delivered, it's always you?
but since you play SA and I trust your judgment (60% of it) is the game worth playing despite those big eyes?

Personally I think it's really good. It doesn't have a great deal of sex but it's setting it up nicely with the 3 girls here and the shopkeepers daughter.
Granted some scenes are more in my favour due to preferring girl on girl stuff, there is some of that.
I think some flaws in this game that would be seen in other games are overlooked to some degree by people because I think they really want to see him eventually have sex with the fake daughters and they like how doll like they look. Games with dads banging the daughters or sons banging the moms and sisters get a very large leeway it seems when people talk about them or how they end up feeling about it, overall.
The writing is still not where it should be in my opinion, everything always seems slightly off. This Lilith has some unusual power to be overly aggressive and just gets away with it and even when Becca stands up to her, the guy/MC who is at the end of most of her abuse is nearly begging for her to stop. So much so they had to have the conversation twice. This is the same Lilith who basically accuses the MC constantly of being a creeper and would do things to women, while when they get back to the house after swimming she is upstairs groping the sister. The conversations and their outcomes border on the bizarre so far. Plot Armour at times is heavy. Lilith psycho ways might be toned down as she seems to be mellowing a bit towards the end. Maybe.
The oldest Daughter can even tell the MC is submissive and tells him so, it is why also no one really listens to him. I do see that this game has a lot of fetish traits some will be into, therefore they don't really care about the writing or how dense the MC comes off as, they see the end goal and want to get there. An MC can be normal with emotional range, he does not have to be dominant to be normal and respond normally to information, this current state is not normal, this is the opposite of normal. Currently it is like he is constantly sedated and on drugs. He answers shocking revelations matter of factly and like they are an everyday occurrence.

While that depends's on the novel legal structure, I don't see in a regular setting how he would be able to get a piece. Abigail is 18+ and the property was inherited from her mother and husband, so the father should have not claimed on it.
Again, not a lawyer and in a novel you can make any inheritance law to get anything, but as a reason to include Abigail's father sounds weak plot to me.
First, kudos for your awesome taste in women as shown in Liara's image. She remains one of my most beloved characters. I could write several paragraphs of how much I love her. But let us not digress.
Second, of course MC will be able to fuck her. But given the pace of the novel, which I love, it will not happen soon. She is just slowly starting to open up to him. Moreover, MC himself has to accept he wants to do his daughters.
I really think this novel has a lot to teach to a lot of other devs that are "banging their family" as if every female is a hungry cum vampire that would not survive without MC's seed. I like how MC is not the overall super Alpha which makes any female faint at the simple touch of his god gifted fingers. Instead, he is a nice guy trying to be a good father to all his daughters, which are dealing with their own problems. When did the rule become the exception, where unless MC can cock-hypnotize any woman he is considered "beta"? Or worse, as one comment said, that he is the biggest beta just because his daughters are not blood related.
