HS is not optimized to make animations, however, there are people creating some neat animations in the Illusion community. If I wanted to add animations to my VNs then I'd need to commission someone for that, and sadly I don't have the means right now. And there are other things I want to commission and invest in before animations (like generic voice acting -moans- for the sex scenes and commission maps I need for the stories).
To be honest, I prefer to focus on making good still renders rather than sloppy animations...

...But, I haven't ruled out to include some animations in the future (when I finally have the resources for that I'll think about it).
Wait, wait, wait... Who told you I lost motivation? I haven't lost motivation, but I've been through some rough times (in life). And yes, I've suffered from creative block from time to time (it's a bitch, and not in a good sense like the slutty bitches we all love and lust for in NTR... creative block is a MEAN bitch!!). However, right now I'm super motivated and super inspired with my next project (My Wife Mariko).
In regards of Teaser Kanon, I'm taking a break right now cause I don't want to get burned by it. I need to work on something else and then return to Teaser Kanon afresh. It's not a lack of motivation, it's actually a break to get things in perspective and maybe a bit of a selfish whim if you will. Right now, I really want to work on Mariko's story because I'm just hyped by it... and hopefully, you also will be. I'm trying my best to turn it into a great story.
I haven't dropped My Girlfriend... but it became something I didn't like... so I'll reset it. Do you remember the first chapters? They were pretty good (if I say so myself). The 1.5 chapter is still my most viewed, bookmarked, and liked work on Pixiv, back when it was still about the mute boyfriend and the tricky/fake choices... but later (little by little) it morphed into something completely different and I didn't like it because it lost its chore. I think I made a mistake when I turned it into a full complex tale instead of a slice-of-life situational story.
Erika is one of my hottest heroines (both in looks and personality), so it would be a huge waste to discard the series. I'll try to go back to the initial concept by changing the medium in which is told (from CG to VN). I want to get back to a mute MC's POV with full dialogue (no inner thoughts) and lots of meaningless choices (except one or two that could actually change the outcome). It will be tricky, so I'm still thinking about how to pull it off... but the idea is there, and I'm working on it from time to time:

Don't mind the clipping and little details, those pictures are still a work in progress.
Yes, I'm aware of that. I think (or I like to think) that I make quality content. The problem is the lack of consistency in the releases. I'm just one person, and it's a lot of work... and to make things worse (or maybe better) I'm a little bit of a perfectionist, so I spend a lot of time trying to make whatever I'm making into the best it can be done. That's also why I want to commission stuff in the future, so part of the work (like coding, typesetting, and posing) is done by someone else while I focus on the important stuff (like writing and basic renders). I don't have the means for that right now, but hopefully in the future. Regardless I'll try to be more consistent with my future releases.
I'll try to keep answering posts here till the first build of My Wife Mariko in a few days. As a token of my appreciation to my fans here (actually, a shameless bribery to try to convince you to support me) here's a leak of the second promo. It was actually public as an easter egg in my previous post (if you clicked on the first promo image... did you notice?).
