Ok, so now from scratch again.
You have downloaded the game from the op?
You extracted the game somewhere and you know where?
Now download the the mod again and put it in your game folder so it will look like this:
Now right click (with your mouse) on the mod-file and extract it "here". Then overwrite your files when prompted.
Start the game "MelodicDates.exe" and enjoy.
If you still got problems, you can always dm me
But that's not holding the player time hostage, simply because the player is not required to watch those scenes. The game allows the player to skip every video scene as long as they have already seen them. They can even skip the scene for the sixth level of the girls when they have already seen it, but I considered it was not necessary to make the video scene skippable because the player is not obligated to go see them.
However, if you really think they should be skippable, I could add the X button when not in a replay too. Although, in terms of design, I don't think making all the buttons for a scene visible at first would be a good idea when not in a replay.
do you mean like this
it didn't ask me to overwrite anything

Nice! Tell me though: what do you mean by 'wrong variable assignments'? And also, if you still have the list of the typos you fixed, I'd appreciate you give it to me so that I could fix them for the original.
I don't understand what you mean but move faster. How?

I think he means faster, so that the buttons appear faster on top. So you can "get over with" faster
Instead of waiting for each button to enable, if all are available from the start, I can just click click through them or go directly to Finish.
Also, is there a fix coming for all the missing images errors ? I'm getting them for the 'last' girls regularly, I got used to save after every girl interaction now.
That's what I said a few posts earlier: it would be a terrible design decision to enable all the buttons at first because it'd spoil the sense of "progression" those scenes have. That would be as if I allowed players to skip every scene after wining a minigame. The game would be reduced to 0, it doesn't make sense in terms of design.
Another thing is when you've already seen that scene, that's why from next version I'll make all the buttons enabled from the first second when you're in a replay.
The fix for the images missing will probably be in the next content version. I've already fixed them, but I don't want to release a fix just because of that, since it doesn't prevent the player from going on playing.
it won't spoil and sense of progression for me and I'm sure for many others. It's not like I have to push them all quickly if I want to watch a scene longer. I can do whatever I want, give players the decision, it's not really a progression anyway.
I found myself watching the scene 2-3 seconds then alt-tab to something else and come back to see if the next button appeared.
As for the crashes, they stopped me from playing, I'm left with 3 girls and all are crashing so waiting for the next version.

Does your game crash when you open Lola or Yang's details screens? If so, maybe I can release an "update-only" version.
As for the buttons, I do understand you, but I'm not sure. If I make the buttons enabled at first, what do you think would be wiser in terms of design: making the buttons enabled once you enter the first video or enabling each button like one second or half of a second after the previous one?
I'm asking all of you, guys. What do you think about this?

Personally, enabling after .5 or 1 second would do the trick, if you don't like the position, you can quickly move to another, and go through the entire scene in about 4 to 8 seconds. A 'Quit' button would also be helpful if you have no interest in watching the scene at all.
I keep going over in my head and maybe the best would be enabling the finish button upon entering the scene, keeping the timing of the rest of the buttons as it is. I think it's important in terms of design to watch part of the clip before going to the next one if the player wants to see -for instance- the girl cumming or an specific position, but it is legit to let the player skip the scene as a whole too. What do you think?
Besides, the way you guys are explaining yourself makes me think that what you want to do when you "alt+tab to wait for the next button to pop up" is finish the scene as soon as posible, am I right?
In any case, I just releaed v0.7.1 as an update-only file, that fixes the two bugs regarding crashes upon opening Monica and Yang's details screens.
Update-only means that you'll have to download a small file where you will find a folder named 'game' that you have to extract in the Melodic Dates' folder, where your Melodic Dates.exe is, and overwrite if prompted. Nothing else!
You can download the fix here:
Anyway, downloads and info and stuff are in the first post as always!

I'm good with either approach, as long as it allows me to decide how much time I spend on a scene. Either I press a button to skip or CTRL to progress, it should be my decision. Everybody hates un-skippable cutscenes, there are memes about it
I trust you'll find an optimal solution from everything that people proposed.
As for the crashes:
- Yang: only when moving the mouse over the lewd gift: exception loading yan_clue4.png
- Monica: insta crash when checking the gifts: hacono.png
There are the current ones I have, but during gameplay, there were at least 1-2 more, but they fixed themselves after I gifted something to that girl.
I will check the 0.7.1 update and let you know if there are still issues. Thank you for the quick update.
LE: The fix works, it fixed the 2 issues I had mentioned above.
Ah and one more suggestion, if possible: When I check the girls info, the completed ones show a Star there. But there are some, the are not ready yet, no more content, there was a text telling me that during game play. But it would be nice to have some indicator there, besides the star, that there's no more content at the moment, so I know I'm also done with that specific girl.

If I understood you correctly, it's too late for something like that since there will not be any new girls in the game, so there will not be any new version with an incomplete character. As for the codas, the additional scenes I'm still adding and will be adding for some time, I could think of a way to make them noticeable further than give you a message at your room upon entering the game in new versions.
