The game is alright, most of the characters are pretty enjoyable, music is solid. A pretty good experience until you eventually just run into the lack of progression as you desperately try to fire off the next event in sequence that has to be done on a specific day in a specific location.

This shit has just become even more obnoxious and it was this that led to me dropping the game a few years back and what led to me dropping it again a bit ago.

Maybe one day this game won't be like pulling teeth and doesn't require you to have a walkthrough out and primed to trigger off events in proper sequence so the game just stops. I just don't have the investment in the game to power through it past a certain point.

So, let me preface this with the statement that I am not asking for any changes to be made, this is just my experience while playing Lessons in Love in 2 different ways.

I've been playing LiL for quite some time now, and have played it both from patch to patch, and letting the patches build up over a longer period of time to "binge" multiple patches of content in one go.

From my personal experience, playing LiL patch to patch significantly decreases the feeling of:

lack of progression as you desperately try to fire off the next event in sequence that has to be done on a specific day in a specific location.

having the ability to actually see what content there is in the patch you are playing and what other girls to try for if you hit a wall makes for a far smoother gaming experience and even story progression.

and that brings me to the moments where I had saved up multiple patches instead, this previous feeling of hitting walls and "aimlessly wandering around" hits me at least a few times every time I let patches build up.
Sure, there are enough guiding hands to help you get along the way, with
You must be registered to see the links
being the major and best source of help. But that also sometimes takes me out of the flow of the game, having to look things up to see who I need to focus on to "end a patch" and get to the next sequential patch slowly working up to being up to date again.


TLDR: In My Honest Opinion LiL is best played patch to patch

As a patch to patch player, at least when my hand isn't forced like it was with 0.16.0 going into 0.17.0 and 0.18.0, that tends to be my experience as well. It also means that any previous version prerequisites for the current build will have already been met going into the current build, so you can't get stuck on those, and you have a much shorter list of events to track.

any hero with a save for 0.23?....grinding for 3h and got tired of it

There were saves posted somewhere in this thread. I won't do it, however, as I feel like this is one game that u either play or don't. Skipping parts of it defeats the whole point of playing it and if u think u can just hit replay and experience events this way, I'm going to disappoint u, as replays have a lot of flags u acquire as u make choices in game disabled, unless u need then to see the scene in the first place. Take this as u will.

It is a pretty long game and is not even close to the end, a lot of content (not necessarily referring to sex scenes as that is side content in this game at best) means a big file size when dealing with games like this due to the vast amount of images needed for that content.

Not necessarily, Renpy games are usually not big by themselves, it just means there were many images added. The game has added multiple hundreds of images per update, the last change log was 400+ images. Each image is somewhere in the low MB range, but that adds up quickly and it only takes 1,024MB to make 1GB. Let's say each is 6MB large, at exactly 400 images, that is over 2GB of size increase.

What really determines if you missed a lot of content is what version number you last played. If, for example, you played somewhere in the mid teens last, like 0.14.0, then yes, you have a lot of content ahead of you. However, if you last played 0.23.0 part 1 then, while there is a fair amount, I would not call it a lot.

Hey Alex, just wondering if you're on the LiL Discord.
Since that place is slightly (and by slightly I mean definitely and a lot) more active than this place, including theories and so.
Especially since we just had the Homie Announcements where we got a look into character 34.
This is the part where I'd post a screenshot, but the moderators and Sel didn't really want us leaking pateron only content, so yeah. A verbal description would probably be the best you'll get for now.
(Also we asked Sel a bunch of questions and that was cool.)

I am on the Discord, but I typically only use it for my patron perks, occasionally for discussion when I feel I can contribute, and a bit more with just reactions. I did, unfortunately, miss the Homies, overslept.

I was wondering why they did such a weird set up, youtube stream with sound on discord. Apparently it was all just for that one reveal of new character, lol.
