First choice, balcony. Music starts. Click to continue dialogue- music starts. Click, music starts. On and on. The music should not keep restarting for each dialogue sentence!

See the hotfix in the original post. It's an issue with using older saves, but the hotfix should fix the probem easily

No, that's fine. I'll create an official patch tomorrow or the day after that with those hotfixes in them, but right now I'm still waiting to see if any other bugs pop up

It's true that looking at other people's code is a great way to learn. I myself have done just that with plenty of games (Mifly City being the best of them. That one is a treasure trove of how to do cool things in Ren'py).
NOTED!
As for trying something new, what are you going to add to your game that hasn't been done before? My game don't do anything crazy, but they do some interesting stuff (especially with the coding help of the66). If you want to create something that isn't in essence a visual novel, I'd advise using another engine though. Ren'py can do tons of great stuff and you can do bascially anything in it, but it's still a visual novel engine.
I have a lot of ideas. You may be/are right, but I need to start with something. REN'PY seems excellent engine for beginning.Also, I just want to learn coding. TRYING to code adult game is good excersise, even if game will be failure.

Also keep in mind why people play adult games. Mostly because of the narrative that is missing in adult films and because they can much easier appeal to fetishes. So that's why most people will agree (and yes, I've done polls about this with my patrons) that story is the most important aspect of most adult games, not how uniuqe their mechanics are. I'm not saying you should just copy other games, but makes sure your unique mechanics make sense and that they're fun to play.
I am adult game fan. I have support from class A+ writer who creates worlds in one evening. Belivable ones. So, story will be not that bad problem. I have my fetishes and I want to implement what game developers refused to implement (for me). I have some idea how to be able to add any fetish w/o spoiling main game. About mechanics - I beleive - and I saw examples - that proper mechanics can be spicy, if done right. You actually did portion of my plans. That is why I am so focused on you(r game). I'll produce either total failure or sth new and interesting.

Anyway, I plan to do alpha-side-story-prequel-intro first. I have basic idea for that.

And there are some games, like Crusader Kings 2, ERA games, which are (in adult elements) almost pure code-wise. EDIT3: RAI7-PUK, CoC and TiTS.

EDIT: Feel free to use optimized PNGs/mp3s in bugfixed version.
EDIT2: I already posted your game in certain places. I hope I helped :)

My thoughts on the game. Do not read if you do not want it spoiled.
tldr/spoiler free: Not nearly enough erotica. It has a lot of erotic atmosphere but little actual action. I was left unsatisfied.
But the writing is marvelous and I care about almost every character!

I do like games like this. Slow start, so you get to know the person you are trying to romance with a few day dream scenes. Also thank you for letting us make the choice about romancing just one or all of them. I hate having to pick just one even though i know i can always play through again and pick a different romance partner.
Would love to see some animation.
Thanks for sharing.

any plan to add teachers to the game?
Uhm... Go to your classroom after or before class? There already is a male teacher romantic character option in the game.
If you mean adding them to the questions asked in class, then the answer is maybe. I would like to do so of course, but other thinks take priority right now

sorry i ask a femele teacher romance.if not i am ok.
Ah, I see. That's something that's been asked before. I would like to add it eventually, but 6 different romance options is already quite a lot for a game like this. I'm going to develop them further before adding ones. I'll probably add some new characters, but not ones you can romance since those take way, way, way more time to implement with more conversatinons and sex scenes required for them. Maybe I'll add a female teacher side character to the male teacher for some threesome action eventually (although his story points to another girl as an obivous threesome candidate, so I'll just have to see where it goes)

Also, should the demand for it be high enough, the male teacher could also be turned into a female teacher by changing his dialogue a bit and replacing all the images. Sex scenes would need to be re-written though. So I don't plan on doing that, but it's a possiblity for a possible mod or something since the story and charater are already there

WOW JUST WOW Great GAME! Personally I wouldn't let them insult you by calling it a Visual Novel. The developers have seemed to avoid the pit falls most games that are labeled VN's have. The grinding is keep to a minimum, there is so much to do that you the player can control your actions, spread out what you do between the many things to do Playing doesn't become mindless trudgery. I love that from what I can see ALL the attributes/stats you acquire are used and are a factor in the game. Not any overly high amounts of stats you have to acquire before you get the next set of dialog, not much boring re-reading the same thing over and over again. The only VN stuff is well placed and only serves to better enhance the game. ie: the have a conversation choices. I hope the developers continue on this path of avoiding the pitfalls most do, adding memory hogging videos, with the great descriptions and writing overloading of graphics isn't a necessity, Don't get me wrong the graphic are great.

In short the developers Knocked this one out or the fucking Ballpark!!

Edit: where to I go to vote for this game cause I'll give you a 5 out of 5

Very high praise, thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed the game. I've played a ton of VNs that had the issues you mentioned so I purposely tried to avoid them (like constantly looking for characters in different locations to see if they have any new dialogue and stuff) with this game (and I obivously took a few hints from Persona 5, possibly the greatest VN-esque game ever made).
I personally still feel like the stats are a bit under-used though and I'll definitely add more stat-checks later. Charisma isn't used at all at the moment and Physique is only used about once or twice I think. I have fun plans for Charisma though. Right now I'm planning on using that stat to give the player the possibility to get out of trouble when the main character breaks school rules and gets send to the principal (that isn't in the game now, but in version 0.3 or version 0.4 I'm planning on adding the ability to sneak out at night and such). Sexual Experience also isn't used much right now. That one obivously become more important when more sex scenes are added though.
The game currently has found a gameplay & storty format that works well for it, so I'm definitely planning to keep adding the same type of story focused content to the game. Also more porn videos for the main character to watch, because porn-in-porn is just fun and I really like writing the main character's interal dialogue while watching it.

Also, I really tried to avoid too much grinding with this game (although the jobs are currently still a bit too grindy due to having no dialogue implemented yet). The perk system also allows each play to create the gameplay experience they want without having to mod the game (it allows the player to change thing such as pregnancy chance and how quickly the MC gets horny and such), so I really tried to keep player experience in mind with this game. Because of that I also don't really force any type of fetishes on the player he or she might want. It's all optional, and that's the way to go I think.
