it will work from that point onwards. Previous scenes will not be shown at all. Our previous games had a simple path on / path off system for new scenes, which enables you to toggle on or off at any point forth and backwards as much as you like. Scenes simply will or woun't happen depending if you are on path or off path.Good point. But how does that work when he is already half-way through the game as he stated? Can he just continue his path and ALL the previous "other girls and scenes and activities" start showing up at THAT point? That is what it appeared he was asking. That's why I answered it the way I did.
I'm not being a dick. MOST games don't have the Melody capability you explained. The authors don't include it. And based on what he asked, the Melody included capability might not accomplish what he wants to do (admittedly, what he wants to do isn't totally clear based on his question either).
I'm still assuming based on his question post being his FIRST EVER post in the forums that he is unfamiliar with all the different ways a Renpy game can be "manipulated" by the player (multiple saves, console cheats, mods, etc).
That's unlike the new game "Thief Of Hearts" which has no real "on/off pathing" - it's more like depending on how many heart points you've earned to determine how far you are able to progress any new scene.
So for example if you have ignored a girl previously, she might let you hug her but then she breaks the hug (you might still get closer to her [earn additional heart point] , which may effect later scenes), whilst if you have more hearts before that scene, she will let you continue and for example even kiss her.... and so on.
So in ToH there MAY be issues to switch between paths but not in SL, Melody or DMD.
(sidenote: therefore ToH is scripted to be a harem game, so staying on all "paths" right from the start should not be a paroblem at all. Just simply ignoring a girl will "hold her short" regarding relationship.
