There is a point in the beach scene on day 16 where Sophia is admiring Christine's arse, musing that she might make a good match for Dylan, but that's about it

I don't get that scene, so I checked the code, and you only get that conversation if Ellie takes revenge on Dylan. And even then:
e "I'm telling you, Mom, even if the survival of the human race depended on it, Christine would rather do it with an orangutan than with Dylan!"
So that's probably not the best thing to bring up for Dylan/Christine shippers. It appears Dylan has a crush on Christine, but Christine doesn't think much of Dylan.
Is that the closest Dylan has gotten so far for getting a girlfriend?

I agree, who knows by the end game with all the branching from the paths and also what would happen with some characters if you don't follow their path, what will be their default ending without any interactions or development. I have no idea what will become of Ellie since I haven't done much with her, she doesn't meet Logan and she doesn't do anything with Julia or the other lesbian girl from her dance class that Sophia was eavesdropping before going back to Dylan's soccer match. So, if nothing is done then what would Ellie's end could be? Just as Dylan's or other characters if you don't invest in their paths.
I hope so, the idea sounds really really good, it would be a surprise for Sophia but I also wonder if Dylan knew about it? if he doesn't know about it? and what will he do or say if he finds out? As well as for Sophia? what will she do? how would she react?.
On the other hand, even when/if she finds out and Alyssa & Zac have in fact something with each other, would it be consequential for Sophia regarding Dylan? OR it wouldn't matter because of her already ongoing feelings between them, that all it'll do for her is just knowing the fact that such a relationship is not far fetched as she would've thought? and just continue with her own feelings and relationship with Dylan.
Definitely Alyssa/Zac, maybe Alyssa/Sophia but as for Alyssa/Zac and Sohia?!...no. He can't be THAT lucky hehe. Now if it is Alyssa/Zac Sophia/Dylan at the same time...well that's an entirely different thing, a Mother's & Son's foursome can't be that bad at all! hehe.alyssa/sophie, alyssa/zac ,alyssa/Zac/sophie
I read from the first pages that L&P wanted to do a side story where he switches the characters with either Liam or Dylan and he said much later, maybe things have changed in his plans but if that hasn't changed then maybe a side story that we could play as Liam or Dylan as he mentioned some time ago.
Post: "Yeah they will be definitely animations! And I was also thinking about to switch a few times to the son/husband later (very much later)!"
This is the scene the way I get it if Ellie takes revenge on Dylan.

Though nothing else has happened since then regarding Christine. Personally, I don't care much about it since I'm more focused on Sophia & Dylan because I love more the Mother & Son path, but Christine is not exactly against the notion of her & Dylan (of course depending on the player's choices, paths, and points). Right after that happens, the event with Sophia in the changing booth starts so Dylan was actually jerking off looking and thinking more about Sophia than about Christine. I guess they could happen in a path where you don't have that many points with Dylan or by default as I mentioned, like what will it become of Ellie if you just leave her be and she doesn't meet Logan or goes lesbian with Julia.
Also, Dylan seems more determined with Sophia than actually finding a girlfriend, and after the incident with Amber, he'd be even less in a rush to find a girlfriend or anything with Christine and according to his tastes in porn, he is more into older women and MILFs, fortunately he has the best at home in his own Mother.

One thing that surprised me. When she sees Amber fooling around with Dylan, Sophia goes to see what happens. She tries to cut the conversation short. Seeing what's going on, it would be more normal to let Dylan have some freedom, leave him and approach Sam, as a countermeasure.
Her reaction is strange considering she's trying to help Dylan with the women.
What happened with Amber brings the two of them very close. Imagine the two of them next time they meet. Guilty looks and smiles. And Sophia knows that. Is she just overprotective or is tt something more?

It takes L&P between 2-4 hours to render a scene.However setting up the scenes is a different matter and can take much much longer

It could very well be both, overprotective and something more or even perhaps jealousy. In my game, I don't have all the relationship points with Amber's son so the conversation about the next cello lesson doesn't happen and still, she looks over at Dylan and Amber and she swims over to them.
If Amber and Dylan were just talking she wouldn't have minded but Amber was stroking Dylan's cheek and laughing that's what made her feel that Amber was flirting with Dylan and made her react to swim over to them. So her reaction might be strange but her feelings are changing towards her son too and bringing them closer to each other, she is just taking more time in accepting them and trying to justify them by saying it is for helping or educational purposes.
just asking out of curiosity,but suppose you had the best graphics card on the market like say a quadro rtx 8000,
how quickly would it be able to render a single scene from this or anything similar?

On that question I could not answer,as I am new to all this rendering stuff.
Other people on here could answer that for you

I was just considering relationship points, not event variables. But yes, for Aiden and the museum boys, they are more controlled by event variables, since it appears their events aren't particularly influenced by how well Sophia likes them or vice versa.Museum guys has only one parametr now, definitely about whether Sophia gave her number or not. Aiden parameter are connection with his tasks
We'll see about Ellie's friends. Ellie doesn't have the relationship problems Dylan does - from what I can tell, the Sophia/Ellie route seems to be more about Sophia/Liam problems than any problems Ellie has. Plus like Liam, Dylan seems to end Ellie's scenes before they get interesting. One of the reasons I'm looking forward to the next few updates is seeing how things develop if you send Dylan away.
It's impossible to say. The amount of time it takes to render a scene depends on too many variables - the quality of the textures, the amount of reflective surfaces like mirrors or water, the amount of characters, whether or not he downsamples (rendering at a higher resolution and then making it smaller), the lighting etc.
The amount of time it takes me to render a scene varies wildly. My fan art renders at 4K can take anywhere between a few minutes to a full 24 hours, based on the above. When I was doing a simple scene like Sophia standing in front of her bedroom mirror, a simple thing like changing what she was wearing could change the render time by hours.
Having a good render rig will also mean you can do more complicated scenes. My rig wouldn't be able to handle the Bennett dinner scene with the amount of characters it has.

That would be extremely stupid unless it's year 1999 and most of us are on HD Ready-ish screens AND Ren'Py's scaling method suck badly and/or ~100 KiB on a image size makes a difference. In 2020 it makes absolutely no sense.

Downsampling has nothing to do with screen resolution. For example you can render at 8K and downsample to 4K for today's monitors. Like composite rendering, it's a known technique for speeding up a render. It's particularly useful for despeckling, especially if you don't have Photoshop like me.
But L&P does have Photoshop, so it's quite possible that's how he does his despeckling anyway. The latest version of Daz also comes with a despeckler, but I don't know how that effects the speed of a render.
I only mentioned downsampling because it affects render speed, which was in regards to the original question.

Rendering at higher resolution and downsampling Is not a known technique for speeding up a render. On the contrary. Rendering at Full HD, for example, and downsampling to HD is a technique for achieving slightly better quality than rendering at HD at the cost of much LONGER rendering time. And yes, the end user display resolution is also very important. Most of us are probably on Full HD or higher resolutions, so the 720p image is then upscaled. An uplscaled 720p image on a 1080p screen looks worse that a 720p image on a 720p screen.
