Replay Gallery (Patreon)

Hey guys!

As you might have seen, the replay Gallery won the poll for the project I'll be working on.

I've already started it, but since I want to deliver the best user experience I can, I would like to get your input on something.

My plan for the replay gallery is to show the scenes that you can unlock as a blurred picture, and once you reach that scene in one of your playthroughs, it gets unlocked.

So far, pretty straightforward.

However, in LSS, the same scenes have many different variations.

Take Ann's first BJ, for example. That scene can occur with "corrupted Ann" or "Shy Ann," and you'd have different choices and dialogs.

So, what do you think is the best idea to let you know a scene can have more variations?

Not-so-good ideas:

I don't want to overwrite the scene every time you do a different playthrough.

I don't think it's a good user experience to show the same picture 4 times just because it has variations.

One idea I have is once you unlock one of the variations for that scene. Then, I can display a preview screen and write something like:

"Scene variations unlocked 1/4"

And in the same screen, let you choose what variation you want to see (if unlocked already)

I've taken a look at the code of some other games. They usually have their naughty scenes as one variation, so the replay they present to the player is always the same, so they don't have that problem.

I would love to hear your suggestions since this tool is for you and should be easy to use and user-friendly!

Cheers 🍻,
