oooo, if that's what he meant, that sounds really cool then, and REALLY flexible.

I started this game with the passion that it takes, and I like what I read there, but for the moment, I no longer have the time to devote to it, but I see only very beautiful scenes exist, and precisely, I'm not satisfied just with the sex, I would like to be able to enjoy the impressions of the characters during the sex scene, even if unfortunately I don't have time to enjoy the rest at the moment.

While unfamiliar with Renpy, I can assume there's significant issues with that as well because certain values will still yield different outcomes. E.g. you're at the end of the game and have "lovepoints = 50;" you then jump back to scene 20 and there is a discrepancy of potentially 50 points. So he'd need to save every choice and then systematically emulate the steps back to scene 20 or alternatively store the variables at certain checkpoints for later usage. The first solution is ass while the second is striaght up twice the ass because what do when you create new save games? Yea, suddenly you need 5000 tables for 10 gallery scenes.
Changing any of the prior story's order would require updating the stored routes/selections so that means writing an updating script that would also break every couple updates (because that's just how it is).
Not to mention any kind of debug editing of variables would yield a bunch of errors meaning more people crying about things not working (sure, no need to address them, but they'd still be there).
If I was developing a renpy game I'd just say "haha lol, no, suck it" to any kind of save->gallery permanence. I'd wager less than 10% of people even use the gallery and even then only a fraction use the feature more than 5 times. It would be a massive waste of time unless it would be for the fun of making it and then abandoning the feature in the next release.
Edit: After thinking a bit more, a good and easy to implement solution would be to just create a separate save game at certain checkpoints when the gallery event occurs. When loading a gallery scene (save), you'd also set a "gallery = true" variable which would tell the game to exit once reaching another checkpoint.
Then whenever you hit the checkpoint again in a different playthrough, it'll overwrite the gallery scene (save).
The gallery scene selection view would just be a gallery scene (save) loading view.
Super simple solution if it's possible to create multiple save views. Obviously more work than it's worth, but would actually work, be very compatible and wouldn't be excessively difficult to implement.

Lovepoints can't go beyond 10, I believe. But, I guess your criticism sort of holds if you had lovepoints at 5 when you came upon that scene, and then by the end of the game you have lovepoints at 10 instead, you'd get a different scene... based on how you're saying it'll work, anyways. I honestly don't technically understand what the plan is.

This week in one sentence: with most of the writing and visual design for this next scene done, it's now time to produce the images for it.

It's cute how everybody guesses; Summer, Spring, April, June... I'm curious why nobody try to guess the year...

Random questions but what do the black square picture icons represent on the progress report? Like scene 8, 11 etc.

About replays, I don't personaly use the function. A game I played that had a unique way of implementation (or in adition to replays) is seven realms. in this game there is the plsibility for the player to mark a sceen as favorite while playing and the the sceen gets ''recorded'' in a special extra section. I don't know the specifics, might be worth a bit of time to investigate how he does it. If only to save a bit of time down the line. I havent visited that thread thow so I don't know how active is that dev.

every column represents a scene. The more images on a scene, the more complex. Girls on images do NOT represent the girls featuring that scene. So once all grey parts are done, the game will be ready for testing (symbols at the left lower). Once all is colored, tha game will be released.
It's pretty easy to understand.
Aside that, it's all explained on the top left corner of that picture - you just need to read.
