Not a problem. Go right ahead. At least you can get some use out of it. Besides, saves me from constantly having to compare and replace each release

You don't actually need to be able to name saves. Ren'Py by default allows you to rename save-game pages. Click right after a page's number (so, with "Page 5" click right after the number 5) and a horizontal bar (cursor) will appear. Change the page name to whatever you want ("Penny Path — Page 5" or whatever). Hit Enter/Return on your keyboard when done renaming it to save the page's name. This is exactly how I've been going about keeping paths separate: "Path: Holmes — Pg 1", "Path: Malia — Pg 20", etc.
Renaming saves is nice to have, I suppose, but there's really no need to do more coding to allow this. That said, if you do want to allow a player to rename their saves, please make it a manual process (i.e., clicking an icon or button next to a save in order to be prompted for a save name). It gets really annoying to be forced to rename a save every single time there's a branch or something (like in Parental Love, Sunshine Love, etc.).
Of course you can give the pages a save name, but seriously? When you have a large number of potential paths, if you would rather have multiple pages vice one or two pages, and if you want to try and remember which page was for which path then by all means, knock yourself out. Personally, I like looking at one page and choosing the path I wish to continue on. As for forcing you? If you would have read the entire posting, then you would have read that it assigns the default value (game day/time/real-time date and time - IE Day 7 Evening August 31, 19:00). What that means, is if you want to change it, you can, if not, it all remains the same. At the end of the day though, it is the dev's decision to make, since this is his project, not ours. All I did was give an option to those who would rather have things a bit more simpler.

I usually end up with 2-3 pages of saves just for one path. It makes naming pages even worse because you either end up with empty pages or have to move saves from one page to another

If you're only going to have 2–3 pages for all of the saves you use, I really don't see why you need to rename your saves. It doesn't sound like you have enough branching in your playthroughs to worry about needing a reminder of what's where. If you really want to have individual saves named, by all means, knock yourself out. Personally, that would be way too cluttered and super annoying to have to do every time. Even what retnavgunner proposes would be annoying; at a minimum, I would right-click at a save point, click on a slot, then be forced to hit Enter to confirm that I didn't want to rename it. Proactively needing to indicate you want to change the name would be better IMO. It could even be something very simple: maybe use Shift+LMB when clicking on a slot to apply a name to the save while just LMB saves without asking you to rename anything. But, as you say, it's the dev's game . . . so whatever.
I have 2 pages, and one page is not even full. Each save is a path. I can look on one of twp pages and find my path. Now, for the big assumption you are making: At no time, are you 'forced' to name your save. If you do not want to name your save, then you click your save slot and you are done (refer to image S2). It is populated with the default save data, which is the day and date. To each of their own. If you prefer to have 12+ pages, then by all means have 12+ pages. Me, I prefer 1 maybe 2 pages with my path clearly identified, which to me means less clutter and better organization.

Bug in Day 4, Morning in Jules vs Madison. Madison tries to become super sayan , but fails to do so. Clothes looks odd between screens in this scene.

In case anyone else is like me and likes to save every time the screen goes blurry, I've combined your named saves with scrollable pages. I think 99 saves on a page should be enough for one playthrough even when the game is completed

Only thing that would sound even better, would be some save system that allowed us to order our saves in a 3D view and draw lines between the different saves to mark branches. I just doubt we'll ever find anyone crazy enough to write a plugin for RenPy capable of doing that :-/

Tentacles or BDSM in yet?
And enhanced human... is that a way of saying superpowers or is that a way of saying transformation-bimbofication? or something else?

Superpowers, in short and without spoilers. None of them are sexual tropes or anything like that.

I've cleaned it up a bit and tried to make a mod for the game. It's my first attempt at modding stuff so let me know if the page numbers on the bottom disappear or something
Installation is the same as any other mod, just extract the archive into "game" folder. Might also work with other games as long as they didn't change their save screens. Thanks to retnavgunner for the base of the named saves part
Here's how it's supposed to look like

Teach me for cleaning up my external storage without paying attention.
Deleted my 15b before the change and can I find it anywhere online, no I cannot.

Oh my gosh, this game gave me some serious shower thoughts after playing for an hour or two:
Also wow, this might be the first erotic game I ever played with a story so complicated that it literally gave me a headache
