Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.40.0] [Selebus]

[JelF547]

It's kind of Character development in a way? Serve soup to the homeless, help grandma cross a street, and now, enable a predator that "loses control" of himself to continue doing so.

Karin never actually cared about anyone by the way. She only mad because Sensei did it to her

 

[Marie IV]

I can kind of understand why, unfortunately. Most people I've known would do their best to pretend things like this never happen, and even ignore it when it happens to others they know. (Especially the happy ones. Willful Ignorance is bliss after all.)

It's a disappointment when these topics are explicitly avoided considering it is exactly what most of us are here for.

Unfortunately, that's likely comparable to what she said. After replaying the event, I noticed that Karin said she wouldn't tell anyone:

This probably includes Kirin. How convenient for Sensei.

Karin is a people pleaser who knows that doing anything that hurts Akira will undoubtedly make her the most-hated girl in school. So she's gonna keep quiet about it.

And when someone else gets hurt because of it, it will devastate her and that will bring the trauma drama we crave.

In this case it would be another missed oportunity

I am a bit angry on Sel. It looks like he scared to do anything fun. Tons of characters could be there in Karin's place and if Sel would not at least make consequences drastic enough, it would be a pure waste. FFS, Karin is nobody and her character development doesn't worth it

It's a disappointment when these topics are explicitly avoided considering it is exactly what most of us are here for.

I think it's a bit early to say these things considering it happened near the end of the last update. There are a lot of assumptions being made from nothing, I'd say save the disappointment for two updates from now if nothing comes of it.

Yup. The payoff shouldn't be immediate.

And I know someone's gonna say "it isn't immediate, it's been a month," but the gap between updates is artificial, the updates are intended to be played contiguously in a finished product. The story needs to move on and develop a false sense of security before pulling the rug out from under us.

Huh, just realized that the 0.1 version came out just over 4 years ago last week. What a ride it's been, going through Sel's early posts where he's actually a nice guy is so strange to see now. I remember witnessing the transition from a solid poster, to a snarky poster, to a pseudo Xerxes "I am a god and you are all dirt". Crazy what an ego can do to someone

The lesson we all should have learned from U2 -- never believe your own hype.

"Happy"
When an Event is simple and seemingly "positive" sounding, I can't help but think it's gonna be rough... and taking into account the names of the 2 to 3 events prior... oof.

Edit: Then again who knows, maybe it'll be "romantic".

Mmmh interesting, event called ''Happy'' right after trauma bond + irregular heartbreak, possibly the end of the chain event, with a name like that I definitely expect something strong maybe in lore or fucked up event.

a few more thoughts; I would definitely bet for something lore-heavy or heavy-hitting, I'd rule out anything fluffy or romantic, in a game where there are "happy" events, which are basically the entire big lore of the game, I doubt Sel would want to spend that event name as the only event of the thousands that will end up being something unimportant.
So I hope it's the end of 0.39 and I look forward to seeing what it is.

Considering Karin was almost willing to forgive it, she might be trying to keep the specifics secret.

I agree; in fact the more I think about it the more I feel like the chance of Karin disclosing anything substantial is extremely slim. Honestly I feel like the possibility of Karin disclosing anything at all is so low that Kirin might have a better chance connecting some dots by unintentionally mentioning this to Miku, then Miku confirmed that Karin was left alone with Sensei for some time.

Unfortunately, that's likely comparable to what she said. After replaying the event, I noticed that Karin said she wouldn't tell anyone:

Oof my dear Karin please do tell in situation like this

Update is almost completed and there are 5 days until release. Did someone kidnap Selebus and force him to work on game?

its cause he makes "doctor money" to quote the manchild himself when given criticism on how to keep the plot more engaging. he's fairly blinded by greed and an army of sycophants to think any other vison than his own is worth seeing.

I mean credit to Sel this is probably one of the few times that an update has been finished before the 9th hour. But he won't be spending that time working on the care package because MLB opening day is tomorrow.

not like it was going to be finished anyway due to his using piracy as an excuse
