Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.42.0] [Selebus]

[SadCoomer]

I don't think Godsgods are all that powerful and mighty as they make it out to be, I am starting to see them more as a reflection of Akira's obsessions: HOPE being his lust, the wire god being his desier to manipulate others, pareidolia his desire to be normal and this new Gossamer guy being his desire to hurt himself for what he did. There is just too many of them and their taking turns is weird, especially since they seem to synchronize with Akira changing moods. Also, I guess the new guy will be the god of autumn? We will see.

Truth be told, the new entry seems to fit in with the old coma theory too, hope would be his hope to keep on living, the wire god the tubes attached to sensei's body, pareidolia something resembling a human face on which akira has his eyes fixed on (something like a fire alarm) and gossamer the pain he feels. But this theory is pretty meh and I don't like it that much myself.

 

[Vega Cifer]

Just to make sure, this update ends with Osako event right? Where she brings uo the Wakana can't cum thing? Got too used to the "to be continued" endings so the loops throwing me off

 

[Mad Hatter]

Anyone talked about Maya's peculiar behavior this update? She's still pretending. Why? My dumb brain hasn't worked it out yet.

 

[Mori Enjoyer]

Don't think this was intentional, but thought it was cool. Love it when past events get small mentions through texts/cgs. It feels odd that Makoto's role was little to nothing this update hopefully this doesn't mean she is made an example of the RAS down the line when/if more girls somehow make it to the roof. I'm down if Sensei shifts some aspects of himself back to chapter 1 honestly with the whole The Collector and reflecting on what he should've taken last chapter.

I said the exact same thing, been so long since the game was a sandbox. Yes, and if you're ever unsure, at the bottom of the screen in the quick bar is a little 'progress' button, lord knows why it isn't in the right click menu but you can always check there.

Anyone talked about Maya's peculiar behavior this update? She's still pretending. Why? My dumb brain hasn't worked it out yet.

Maya's and Sensei's relationship is likely supposed to be top secret, and even New Maya has likely been hiding it from Ami and Ayane (and society) for years by this point in her mind.

I think she's getting sexually frustrated though, and hearing Ami say the other girls want him to fuck their silly little brains out, on top of them not understanding him, probably hit a nerve.

Maya doesn't like to share, and it's rather clear even Maya Prime never actually understood Sensei's mental issues, even with possibly millions of years of experience with them.

There's a reason that Maya more or less just broke him and thought he was having people reincarnate into him for who knows how long, while Niki easily saw that Sensei was blocking stuff out since they reunited:

And helped (along with Noriko) bring back memories of his, by their first Christmas together.

 

[GSwole]

Ami has earned her place at lowest tier. I understand her breaking but I can't exactly enjoy the scenes with her rn. She's just talking mad shit and making everything worse for Akira?

I'm 50/50 on the Wakana/Osako line. I liked developing Osako a bit but then she just chose the dumbest ways to do everything.

Sana is... interesting. Similar to Rin's new direction. Keen on these.

And Chika? See stolen image. I don't like the wizard plot being a thing if it progresses past more than a vehicle for flashbacks

I like that we have a modicum of control back at least, though I'm shocked Makoto and Uta/Io weren't included in the interactable characters while 'depressed' while Yasu/Nodoka are. Hell i thought Yumi/Yuki were some of his go to choices when he wants to beat himself up.

loli content is gonna be the great divide for the community regardless of where they participate. sillybus can always cuck us with a black screen and text like the sana princess carry when she was drunk during one of her events. or he can hold true to being a degenerate that he is and give us that content in all its glory. i look forward to the anger and destruction of the fans either way

 

[DeSkel15]

So, on the topic of Maya, I thought it was interesting that Sensei mentioned what seems like one of Maya's core beliefs:

This update.

And, looking back at the context of Maya's 'Close Your Eyes' Chapter 1 Event, it seems plausible that Maya may have actually learned this from Sensei, and was disappointed that Chapter 1 Sensei didn't agree with what Pre Resets Sensei taught her:

That someone she mentions was probably herself.

 

[JelF547]

Can you suggest something simmilar to LiL or LiY? I am already aware of SO and Dissonance.

That someone she mentions was probably herself.

Or old Sensei probs.

Actualy, death of Maya Prime was enough for Sensei to feel realy better. AFAIR Selebus suffered from depression himself, so he should know that sadness and pain are ususaly first emotions to return.

 

[DeSkel15]

Can you suggest something simmilar to LiL or LiY? I am already aware of SO and Dissonance.

Something similar depends on what you mean. These tend to be the games I deem recommendable:

Ren'py:

• Dissonance
• Secrets of Sorcery
• Crimson High
• Hero Party Must Fall
• Sexbot
• Black Heart Hotel (dark)
• Four Elements Trainer
• Rick and Morty Another Way Home (Ren'py version)

Rpgm:

• Black Souls (dark)
• Black Souls II (dark)
• Red Riding Woods (it's not as good as Black Souls, but gives some dark background info on a character)
• Ouroboros (Interesting)
• The Last Sovereign (Lost interest, but it's fine)

All that comes to mind atm.

If you like the looping thing then the Black Souls games, Sexbot, and Ourobous fit.

If you want a fucked up MC, then the Black Souls games, Black Heart Hotel, and Hero Party Must Fall, should work. Four Elements Trainer has multiple Slave Routes and can get kind of fucked up. Like cumming in a blind girl's eyes, kind of fucked up.

If you want something that has "Wizards", then the Black Souls games, Four Elements Trainer, and technically the Rick and Morty one, has some. (As hard as it might be to believe, I don't actually play these games or LiL, for that part of them, lmao.)

If you just want something that's entertaining and has lore to it, then most of that works, and I wouldn't consider any of it badly written.

I still think that Sensei and the MC from Black Souls are awfully similar though. Albeit, Sensei is far more of a coward, while the Black Souls MC would probably be trying to find a way to rape Nao's and Sekai's souls...and probably the Shapeshifter. Maybe on accident with that last one. Maybe.

I wonder if Collector Sensei will be more like that..

 

[Squalicorax]

Has new Maya made a self aggrandizing comment about her own cuteness yet?
Because it just occurred to me while reading through her old events; what if she gained her giant ego from her belief all the various senseis were different people possessing his body, and the fact they all gravitated towards her meant she just must be preternaturally adorable and not Akira's subconscious drive for her?

On the other hand, she is very cute. Might just be an objective assessment.

More or less, and Ayane seems to think New Maya's Ego hasn't changed much:

Ami and Rin both seem kind of attracted to Maya though, so she probably is intended to be attractive just by default. She definitely thinks she is, either way.

 

[Squalicorax]

More or less

saw that coming. I'll hold this idea in the back of my mind until we get a definitive "cutest girl alive" line, but yeah it seems that's probably a built in Maya feature.
I will say though, there are very few girls Rin isn't attracted to lol. But the others do in general seem to think she's overall attractive. I feel like there's someone else who's made an off handed comment, but I lack the legendary DeSkel eidetic memory confirm that without skimming literally the whole game

 

[derekthered56]

Sorrow of Rebirth is basically exactly LiL, though I haven't tried the newer updates.
Other than that, Detached, Perfect Pitch, and Love Castaways are decent.

So you are bassicaly suggesting Black Souls. I think about it,but rpg maker scares me a bit

It look realy nice, thx

Perhaps give "Another World" a try, it's pretty new and heavily inspired by LiL, with similar horror-y style and sandbox gameplay. MC is a student instead of a teacher, but is still loved by everyone. Pretty well high quality so far.

 

[Bingoogus]

Whilst we're on the subject of LiL-like games, sell me on LiY JelF547 cause it's on my ignore list but i don't remember why.

 

[Vizer007]

Can you suggest something simmilar to LiL or LiY? I am already aware of SO and Dissonance.

Secrets of Sorcery. It have horrendous gameplay of LiL, if that helps (it's not), and graphics of basic koikatsu, but story is quite wholesome and interesting (even though it gets quite dark). Played it while waiting for this version of LiL to go out, expecting close to nothing, but ended up binging it for a whole week (it's quite long) and enjoying it enough to burst through horrendous LiL-like "gameplay" (just set everyones affection to 100 and Lust to 30 with URM, at least it will ease the burden, but sometimes you will need a wiki though).
I am quite bad at "selling" games, but knowing that I hate LiLs "gameplay" and still went through with this game should tell you enough.

It was already in my watchlist, but I totatly forgot about its existence, thx

I recently wrote a review on it: https://f95zone.to/threads/lost-in-you-v0-6-2-atrx.150211/br-reviews

tl;dr ArtX is a nice guy, he is good at writing and capable of going straight to the point.

I think, if you love LiL more than Disso, you would love LiY more than LiL and vice versa.

This game has nice tags . I am totaly watchlisting it, thx

Hmmm... well i'll put it in my re-look pile for when i next run out of new and updated games.
