How did Sensei just break the space-time continuum by just talking to Yuumi? Nothing about his past was even revealed that time, it was just a very honest conversation.
There's almost always been weirdness when Sensei is around Yuumi. There's clearly a lot more going on with her than we know. Hopefully we get some answers soon.- but I'm guessing it'll be more things getting blurred with the narrator telling us we're not supposed to see what's happening.

Though knowing selebus he could punish us for messing with saves in the future, but for the time being...
Thankfully I think he literally doesn't know how to do that. As long as you stick to variable combos that are possible, you should be safe.

It's literally still theft though. It's his property, he is allowed to get mad about it if he wants.
Oh shit, I completely forgot about the whole Illusion Koikatsu thing. They don't exactly appreciate people making commercial ventures with their products, but they also don't have the money to pursue legal action about it in the US. So not only is owning the copyright on something very, very different from something being someone's property, but Selebus doesn't even own the copyright on the visual assets he uses in-game, and by your definition is "literally stealing" from Illusion :ROFLMAO:

I'm also not saying he isn't allowed to be mad about it. I'm saying it's in the opinion of this and many other former patrons that the optics of him getting so mad about it are not good, and to speculate that he'd probably be doing even better than he is if he wasn't such an immature weirdo about it.

The fact that people are taunting him going "Lololol I got ur game for free 2 weeks early get rekt bozo piracy4lyf hehehe"
You shouldn't be basing your argument around something that's either never happened or is purely the realm of weird internet trolls who wanted to get a rise out of him because he already got demonstrably assmad about being pirated. Trolls are like sharks, it's the blood that's already in the water that really gets them going.

It's also telling that he's said he'd torpedo this site if he could, even though at LEAST 75% of his patron base came from here. The only non-pirate way to find it would be through itch.io. Good luck with that :ROFLMAO:

If people pirate it, it takes away potential income from him, which literally means it's theft.
I personally don't care, I download games, try them, and if they are worth support, I support them. If not, I will either put them in a "maybe try again in the future" or in a "not for me" folder and not support them. I don't think that's the type of piracy that bothers anyone.
So your stance is that piracy is bad and is "literally theft" then admit that you yourself are a pirate, but you're one of the good pirates. That's not a good look, lil bro.

This is very stupid. Lets take a look at light novels. A light novel has on average around 50.000 words. blah blah blah Why would a book series with 1.000.000 words be worth more than a VN with 1.000.000 words, when the VN is way more work to create?
I hate to break this to you, but light novels and a lot of other weeb goods are horrendously overpriced. You can buy physical copies of the first 3 Stormlight Archive books for $25, word count ~1.2mil, and those words are way better than anything Selebus has vomited up. Also, I don't know where he's getting his word counts, but I suspect they're inflated.

Saying "no game is worth $600" is beyond stupid. You can't just take an arbitrary number and say "anything above this is not worth".
It's not. If Selebus theoretically put LiL up for sale (again, he can't, both because of the subject matter and because he doesn't own the entire copyright) at $600 he would sell a max of 10 copies to his most loyal whales. Sorry.

Marketing 101 includes there being an optimal price point for consumer goods where the combination of the unit price and the sales volume lead to a maximized total profit, and for a titanic visual novel with dated graphics it's not going to be great. Wonderful Everyday, another 2010 game with similar subject matter (LiL's biggest influence, in fact), is still selling for $30, but I doubt it moves that many units these days.

From what I've read, that word count includes repeated dialogue when making minor choice differences etc. The words an individual reads on a single playthrough won't be nearly as high (In fairness there's still a lot of content.. though most of it isn't exactly what one would consider to be literature)

You have no concept of how much people are dumping into gatcha games, MMOs, Madden, or FIFA, do you?
Hundreds of thousands in some cases. Those are whales. The revenue streams of free-to-play games follow a reverse-exponential Pareto distribution where the entire development budget is probably covered by the top 50 spenders, and 99% of the playerbase most likely spends less than $50. Selebus has them too, there are people with multiple $100/month Commander subscriptions so they can get more image requests.

There's nothing wrong with this, but if you use this fact to then say that means Genshin Impact is worth $500,000, or $50,000, or $5,000, or $500, you're out of your goddamn mind. They're paying to gamble or get in-game skins anyway, it's a completely different value proposition than crowdfunding an indie game.

I don't think he knows either. But I know for a fact that if he ever learns of a way to screw with us that way, he will.

Or I could do that. Which is so much more reasonable, yep.

Download this. Throw it in the /game folder. Open game. Press 'Alt' and 'm' at the same time. In the search box, type 'yumiknows'. Change value to false. Enjoy.

Also, don't be scared of Selebus fucking with your save, even if there was a way he could do something, he can only dream of having the coding ability to accomplish the task.

Is there a reason the game just keeps repeating "you cannot live if you cannot hear. Blah blah blah. please enter the number 1024 as the port number whenever you are ready."

I'm trying to figure out the terminal number and thought that that was it, but nope and it's just repeating this sound.

Started up a new game to see if it was on there too, but nope. I'm guessing it's part of that event... I still can't seem to figure out how to get out of it.

For all the complaints we can have about the author, i really liked how Ayane has progressed throughout the game, she went from being someone that i found too overbearing to someone that has visibly matured to the point where i just want the game to throw her a bone.
Chapter 3 has cemented Ayane as my second favorite, and if Makoto doesn't get back in action soon, she might find she's lost the top spot.

It's for a later step of the puzzle. The terminal number is something different you were told in other events.

My memory is shit, so this may be the answer to another question in that sequence, but try 23.

Maybe for teenagers. Most of us eventually grow up and realize there are limits to most things. He's reaching his. If he wants to make more, he's going to have to do something else to attract more players. Whether that's having a new game or making more substantial changes to this one. This is an extremely niche genre and he's only made the game less accessible to new players.

Dev comes off as childish and entitled, and it's okay for us to point out his expectations are not realistic.
Jesus christ are you all seriously like this? A bunch of guys who plays a porn game and keep writing essays about it?
I can't say I am any better beacuse I am wasting my life right now on a porn game, that's not going to give me anything in the future. But god damn, how about all yall just make your own game instead of writing and complaning here. I mean, it's probably not too complicated since there are so many games using the same artstyle and game direction.. But I don't know for sure.
I may waste time on a porn game to get some dopamine, but don't waste your time complaning about one. Gosh.. What a time to be alive.
Thank you guys though, you reminded me of how pointless and usless this actally is. I mean.. this is the community I am supposed to cater towards. I thought mabye I could find some answers on how to get past the overly complicated "Word of the day" event, but I only found salty people writing and voicing all their opinions about a.. porn game, or a dev that's not cool? No thanks, I am going to spend my day to go climb, work and read a bit instead of arguing about a porn game.
I bet I will get a lot of people explaning how valuable this game is, but honestly.. The story is not good and it's just girls talking about their problems, insecurities and intrests. And that's fine, for a porn game. but the story is not good at all. If this was a book nobody would read it, and girls really do not act this way lol..
The dev probably wants more money like a farmer milking a cow. You are all cows and he drinks your fluids for breakfast, stores the rest in his cow milk freezer, aka the milk bank. Imagne how much time you guys wasted playing this game, including me. Let's do something else. Let's evolve and earn money ourself instead of giving money, and for what? A porn game? I will never ever buy anything like that in my life, no way. I get hot girls in real life by exercise, reading, listening and beeing active. You guys should do the same. This was a one time thing, never again.
