You could do that!

Or, it might be corny/cliche, but you could always have them turn down being freed? Some kind of nice reply or minor reward for karmic goodness, but build something in that explains they can't be freed for whatever reason. Maybe their status as property protects them from past owners/debts/random vicious killers/whatever, or they'd just be enslaved again upon going off on their own, etc. That way you're 'thanking' the player for the effort but not removing the character arcs.

If you want to give an out to their arcs, I'd make it something crystal clear that you're skipping out on everything, won't be able to re-buy them or any other slaves, before the decision is made.

Words cannot express how full of joy I am to be wrong rn. Thank you very much!! I'm even more excited now!! You rock and your work does too (with full kudos to your wife and cats and business associates as well! 💘)

And best of luck with the appointments! Hopefully you get answers and they're all good.
Animations look great, WIP or not, and Big Alicia is SO good. Definitely hope nude Big Alicia gets some love somehow, and a DLC stretch goal of idle animations for her in the pause menu? They're kinda impractical but I've always loved them. Breathing and blinking and mild jiggles (due to the horny deep breaths) are underrated! We spend a lot of time in the menus lol so it's good to have nice visuals there too. (or at least I do, not skipping any dialogue or optional stuff here!!)

Hi, long-time fan here, getting caught up after quite a while away...
Glad you're doing well and progress is going strong!
Love love love the resolution increase and lighting upgrades, only thing I'm sad to see in is that the slime animation lost 2 frames - imo it makes the motion a little choppier. And to my untrained eye yours maybe had more color/shading/something... her boobs and less transparent slime lost a little magic in the change. But with how so much is getting reworked maybe in game it will look totally different! So don't mind me rn. I plan to rejoin Patreon ASAP & check things out more fully, thanks so much for all you do!!

P.S. also I stan pixel art menus, they're unique and gorgeous, although readability is important and was tough sometimes with the old resolution. Maybe the new res would be enough that pixel art could be epic and readable too? But vector's probably easier to update and change over time. So pros & cons either way for sure.

Pretty sad about this, but being 110% legal and keeping steam $$$ flowing is very understandable. Whatever ya gotta do to avoid the fate of other unfinished abandonware games!!
