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

[barglenarglezous]

There's Dissonance which I think is probably the closest one premisewise to LiL but it's recently branched off into its own thing.
Lost in You is I believe the one Sel was complaining about but I don't really think it's that similar.

Other ones I'd say stuff like Another World and Sorrow of Rebirth. Maybe Perfect Pitch could fit into it but not really. There was one called Eldritch Academy that popped up but it hasn't gotten a second update since it came out, so not holding out for that one. I think I read someone somewhere claiming that Unto Starlight is very similar to LiL but I honestly don't see it.

Sel actually promoted SO on his Patreon, and that was the most blatant rip-off out there.

1) Teacher who has no business being one and no interest in doing the job
2) Tsundere who hates said teacher, whom the teacher constantly blanks out around and eventually forces a kiss on
3) Niece/Aunt who's obsessed with MC and is potentially the True Villain of the story

Most of the initial girls were direct analogues to the girls in LiL, and it wasn't until well into development that he started to nudge the game in its own direction.

Meanwhile, a lot of the newer games Sel's complaining about are only superficially similar (KK-based harem games set in a high school with ooo-creepy elements), but the characters at least stand on their own instead of leaning heavily on porting your attachment to characters from LiL into their game.

She's not creating them. She's giving them form.

Before she draws the Old One, Akira was already feeling His presence. He comments on it throughout that update.

Ah, yeah that makes sense. Like I said before, Nao-chan’s the biggest mystery in the game to me out of the main and side girls. I suppose you can count Himawari too, but that’s another subject entirely.

Assuming the roadmap for 0.40 hasn’t changed too drastically, we should be getting 2 Nao-chan events. Hopefully by then we can get a bit more insight.

 

[Pedro4545454]

Theory in barglenarglezous speech.

I think they are more like spirits/demigods that have no forms and as Nao-chan seems to have a strong connection with Nao, there is a high chance that without her realizing it or even on purpose she is giving them a physical body, before they just exist without anyone seeing them, but those with a strong spiritual sense could feel them, just as Akira felt him being observed, so in my opinion Nao-chan is unintentionally or on purpose allowing these beings to have/gain a form that human beings can see and talk.

if Nao-chan draws the goddess of scissors then that will be much more interesting.

These Nao-chan events will certainly be very interesting and will bring us questions and answers and they are not just a way of creating hyper and then not bringing us anything interesting, right?......right?

Mannn I sincerely hope so! It wouldn’t surprise me at all if by the end we’re just left with more questions than answers again…

Really hope that isn’t the case, though, because Nao events only come once in a blue moon. Oh, and also, best girl Kaori gets events too! Whatever we do, we can’t fumble this!

All that discussion about Nao-Chan made me interested in girls psychic abilities, so I tried to do a tier list to sort it out:

I think it's very sad that Selly didn't explore the fact that Rin literally listened to the narrator at the first beach event, that would have been much more interesting than the love drama in my opinion.

 

[Jeraviel]

by the way, a quite suprising tidbit we learned from Makoto in this update (dunno if it was mentioned before) is that except for some of them, the girls are at or near the top of the school academic grades. If we also take into consideration some of their non-school related skills or abilities, you could say Akira's class is filled with super ultimate teenagers that can literally take over the country if only they could work together

Considering Rin (on top of hearing time) seemed to subconsciously know that her relationship with Sensei is suspicious:

Chances are that Rin might be one of the more supernatural girls, but doesn't realize it.

Rin just seems too distracted by cute girls and depression to really focus on the weird stuff going on around her.

ok, so now that i have fully finished the update, id give it a 7/10. ill do the criticism before the praises. and speaking of praises, praise be.

so, the music would have been better if they left the lyrics out, as well as did more of a mention of the band, rather then putting them right there at the school, or just having them be seen on a board or something. it seems weird to have them there. another thing, was that some dialogs were put under different names like one of kirins being put under rika's even though she wasnt at the event. the final criticism is that we havent got any more actual generic events yet, but im gonna let sel cook on that. i really cant wait to grind yumi's affection and hopefully soon, lust.


now for the praises. overall it was a pretty decent update. not much of sensei, but i fully expected that, and actually there was more of him then i expected. looks like he will either be back in action in the latter half of the 6th reset, or during the process of the 7th reset. makoto seems to be activly trying to get people to realize of whats happening, but i will stand by what i said two months(ish) ago and say that the girls need to both visit the rooftop and get impregnated before they can fully grasp whats going on. also, chances are its how to bring back maya prime, but it wont happen this chapter unless its at the very end. now getting back on track, it was a pretty light hearted update with the exception of io, ami, and sensei. it also felt like a big setup update, for what comes not next, but after. we got yasu going into dispair, maya making a already broken promise to ami, people being bamboozled by Sana being the queen of horni, maya getting fingered by sensei, niki being there for ami(i dont remember if the proposal to move in was this update or last as i mostly did .38 and .39 today). all in all a pretty decent update.

 

[GSwole]

I said the whole update without the MC "wasn't my favorite" and I was banned.

So I've played this update twice, good uncle and bad, and in one Kirin won, and in the other Rin. Anybody know the catalyst?

weird cause i said the same along the lines of we needed a break from him and i wasnt. maybe you just got banned for something else or pirating? shrug

 

[hopeisdead6969]

Did anybody else notice in Nodokathon that when Rin was riding the machine, Sel accidentally used Rika as the name for one line instead of Rin? It legit shocked me and I thought things were about to get interesting if she had somehow wandered into their little game area. Pretty sure he also mixed it up once when Rika was reading all the stuff in the Sports Day preamble.

It's a pretty common error on new updates. It's usually corrected in the next patch.

Yeah, it was just the timing that made me jump when I saw it. I thought it was pretty funny, and kinda wish she had ended up walking in on them.

 

[Xiondingens]

Incorrect. Correct .39 guide:

1) Load chaper 3 save
2) Grind 50 Kirin Lust
3) Do .38
4) Go to Friday

Or save a lot of time and just edit a save from the end of .38 with the stats you need. Actually you could even edit the stats right before the event even ask about the variable. Still remember there was an event on one of the beach event chains that needed a certain lust stat i didnt had and i just did go back to the event before that and did edit the stat. Renpy does make enough autosaves so that is always easy.

What in the Barbara-loving fuck are these garbage English-lyric-having guitar tracks doing in my LiL folder?

In the past Selebus claimed to take pride in choosing appropriate, evocative music for this story. Up to now, I thought he did a great job. I guess he's given up on that? Really don't understand the choice.

Just started reading, but I see that the vibes are not good. I think corrupting the track collection will still go down as by far this installment's greatest sin.

Noriko said something earlier in the update that tipped her off.

Something about peeling her off of Sensei.
