Let me say that "Lack of appeal" does not mean "Every quest should be about a hot chick that gets undressed a lot." Nor does it mean "Every quest needs a romance."
If you want to spice things up with a bit of nudity I think that Gobbo, Alien and, actually, Sanya do it best. The quest's main hook is not nudity or romance or sex, but there is some at least references to it, for humor, sex appeal or just purely entertaining reasons.
In other words, don't have nudity just for the sake of nudity and expect it to keep a quest afloat.
Also, add some personality to the characters, ESPECIALLY the main one. Alienquest was a bit revolutionary when it came to addressing the players and having the character remark on the comments themselves, later seen in Cutebold Slaughterfest and a bit in After too, if I remember right.
Don't make my mistake and just have a character be the quest suggestions and nothing more. Hatch had literally no character until very recently, and I think the quest was hurting as a result.
Also, learn from my mistakes and repeatedly draw the main characters for a few weeks before starting the quest so that you nail down their designs. If you look, the only people in my quest that haven't gone through extreme character redesigns are Ikar and Aruuchi, because I've literally had the design for Aruuchi down years ago. Both Hatch and Liam have gone from a miniature Dot/YunYung and a zombie-like old man to the more distinct people seen today. I've got another quest in the tubes that'll most likely run next summer/next fall the way things are going and I'm already experimenting with character designs for it and practicing how to draw the various main characters.
