How does one unlock entire gallery scene in this game?
Gallery's a mixed bag. Some entries just load you into that scene and continue on as if playing, some scenes in the gallery offer no dialog at all... not to mention the names of the gallery entries sometimes offer no hint as to what scene it is, and I'm honestly not even sure if they're in any real order. It's a complete mess imho and needs to be redone properly.

Sounds like you unlocked some of the gallery without playing and unlocked other parts of the gallery by playing.

The reason why some run like the original scenes is because there is custom dialogue, etc, based upon player choices during those scenes. This was a request by many fans - including those who subscribe to the developer - because they wanted to experience the scenes with their customization.

As for the ones without dialogue, those are the ones that most likely were unlocked without playing - because since there were no variables set for customized gallery replay, nothing was included.

They are in order - they are grouped by people in the scene and then are sorted in chronological order within those groups.

The gallery is fine. The problem isn't the VN -- what it is, is PEBKAC.

Well, you're entitled to your opinion. I think its terrible as far as galleries go.

I am not stating an opinion, you are. And that's fine for you to state your opinion. However, what you stated was an observation and then you came to your opinion without accepting that you created your own problem. Had you played all the content, your experience would be as intended and expected. Because you decided to take a shortcut instead, you end up with the consequences of your own actions.

I am stating why what you found is what you found - and that your opinion about the gallery not being "in any real order" is incorrect, the gallery is in order - grouped by individuals, sorted chronologically within the groups.

I stated what is observable and fact. Again, PEBKAC.

idk about anyone else but, i personally feel like im finished with this game. It was one of my favorites for a long time, but I feel I got everything I need out of it and I worry the story is simply going to drag on.
That is fair, I do feel like season 2 is more like Light of My Life 2. The first season ended nicely, and anyone would be satisfied if the story stopped there. Since I'm more invested in the characters than the overarching plot, I'm all for "sequels"; the quality hasn't dropped an inch since its inception, keep'em coming, baby!

I think it's just about as much effort as I'm going to put in for a non-critical feature in an engine that offers a perfectly fine save system as well. I'd rather spend the one resource I'm always short on (time) on creating new scenes. In my mind, it's not even a close call.

I think the person is confused, thinking that the developer is just going to limp along with update after update, never "finishing."

These are not so much "sequels" as these final updates are epilogues... wrapping up the loose-ends and promises explicitly/implicitly made throughout the story before closing the book and moving on to something else.

I hadn't intended on coming across as abrasive or anything. The thread's guard dog got on me nerves a bit. I think its a great game, one of the very few around that will forever stand the test of time, ya know, worth a revisit and multiple play-throughs and all that. I've completed chapters 1-7, but not ready to jump into season 2 just yet, so very recently, I decided to hit up the gallery for some refreshing, and just found it lacking. I think it deserves better, but I'm certainly not going to do it, and you feel its good enough and have better ways to spend your time. That's cool. Cheers~ (y)

naughtyroad boss is there a specific reason for canceling the steam release !!??
i remember a long time ago (i swear i'm not losing my mental faculty) i put this game on my wishlist on steam and when i noticed this AVN on latest updates i checked my wishlist but didn't find it, i'm sure you talked about this somewhere but it's been awhile since i kept up with this AVN waiting to continue on steam, so if you'll be generous to answer again it'll be appreciated

You remembered right. Steam declined it, and also decline to provide details as to why, while making it quite clear that the decision could not be appealed. One of those things <shrug>.

Denise is still in High School right? As I've heard, Steam can be extremely prickly if a AVN has LI's that young.

The submitted build said college, and she's hardcoded in game to be over 18. Anyhoo, it's all speculation, as they never tell. Some said it could have been Sierra, who's flat and really short, that triggered them. We'll never know.

AH! Then never mind my goldfish memory :)

It just sucks that they don't give a reason for declining, that's a camper move......

if im not mistaken, i played this game in its original format, didn't give it much thought but then this revised version got me and ive been hooked every since. id like to find that original format again and replay it. if its even the same game. i yhink so because the models are similar. they are different from the norm but the story makes up for it. cant wait for the next one!
