Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.43.0] [Selebus]

[PhiloPhilo]

Kaori just turned 23, while residing in apartment 23, in TERMINAL 23, cause redundancy is a thing, we get it Selebus.

And about Kaori's eyes: I feel Yuki would very much have said something about her niece getting a blue eye when she met her again:

So what you're saying is Kaori = the terminal = the world = Sekai, and also her apartment = the world = Sekai, therefore Kaori = Sekai inside Sekai

And yeah her eyes were probably always heterosexual, but to play devil's aviator, they could have been glossed over. Maybe her eyes were even blue and her one eye turned brown, who knows? (Probably not.) I'm not fully convinced that her (non-sekaori) eyes have a hidden meaning, but if they do, it might be different depending on if they're natural or not which is pretty cool. I prefer natural ones, but I can't be picky

>Kaori Aging
It may just be that Kaoris Birthday was always a cannon event.Something if the cycle progressed enough would always happen.The thing is,if that is true then why hasnt there been a mention of anything birthday related for literally ANY OTHER CHARACTER.So weird.

It seems you've thought about something you weren't supposed to think about. You know what that means.

Probably because that many teenage girl birthday parties would be a chore to write every cycle and get fucking annoying to read every update lol

 

[Yarazin]

Sana's not an adult, Maki has a very active sexual history, Haruka's unhinged and Niki can be overbearing/has way too much history. Every girl has downsides if we're to judge them ourselves. For Akira, pretty much everyone is a "side piece" to Sekai (or Maya rn) - because no girl can be a main to nothing until he resolves his issues with Sekai.

I also feel like Sara's great because she feels very real. She's a poor person that was physically abused at her home, so she ran away to another authority figure that took advantage of her. Said authority figure had two children with her, while at some point she started having psychotic episodes, and the dude wasn't there enough on account of having a different family. One day she was left alone with her children, and eventually had her son die. So the girl that was beaten at her home, and taken advantage/abandoned by her surrogate "father figure/lover", had to deal with her son's brutal death while taking care of her child daughter.

Fast-forward a couple of years and her source of income is failing, she can't get any man to stay with her (and thus never fulfills her dream of having an actual stable family that she never had at home), is falling deep into alcohol, and now fears that her daughter is also having psychotic episodes. The entire way she acts around Akira makes complete sense from her standpoint, and a well-written character is simply compelling beyond "she's small and has green eyes".

Well said, thanks for putting it way better than I could.

Maybe her eyes were even blue and her one eye turned brown, who knows? (Probably not.)

In the event "where the trees live", we see a flashback of wizard Kaori and the eye we can see is her brown/yellow one.

Also, since I'm not making another post just for this, let me just use this opportunity (which should be the last one, since it should end in the next update) to say something about Chika:

It has been a long road having to deal with her denial arc, and here's a reminder of one of her most pathetic moments of denial for those that need to be reminded (just jump to the post):

I wasn't ready for the full power that Ayane brings into this conversation in destroying Chika (and she doesn't even notice).

I am looking forward so much to the next update regarding Chika's downfall, for, in the words of Dexter Holland: "She may not have a clue, she may not have style, but everything she lacks, well, she makes up in denial."

Not a perfect fit since she has a kind of style I guess... But, seriously though, let the truth be revealed though the heaven's fall. Praise be. It's been a long time coming and it will finally be over.

I find it quite interesting how Chika is so timid when it comes to ayane.Like she threatened to brutalize Ami infornt of everyone for her love but when it comes to Ayane all that fire just dissapears.How interesting.You know what that means right?

Let the "Ayane cucks Chika" operation begin!(Name in progress)

The thing is,if that is true then why hasnt there been a mention of anything birthday related for literally ANY OTHER CHARACTER.So weird.

Yumi's birthday happens to be during every cycle, and she just hates her birthday or something. Sometimes, though, people like Chika bring it up.
Also Akira was on a date with Maya during her birthday.

Edit: Or naybe my non-English brain just didn't understand your phrase.

Nah that was poor phrasing on my part.I meant that while yes birthdays are clearly a thing they are completely background stuff yet for some reason Kaoris was given the spotlight.

You're right, birthdays happen somewhat regularly, hell, Akira went on a "date" sort of for Ami's birthday without knowing it was her birthday in chapter 1.

What is exclusive to Kaori is that narrator says "she's turning 23". Which begs the question: "is she turning 23 every year?", or is the Narrator referencing her increasing age based on this specific cycle, like she started being 21 and is now 23?

She's probably always turning 23, just thought it was interesting to mention.

 

[PhiloPhilo]

She's probably always turning 23, just thought it was interesting to mention.

If they're being reset, she's assumedly always reverted to being 22. Characters don't physically age past the date of a reset, otherwise they'd all be dust. Which means either they age normally until the reset and are reverted, or potentially no one ages at all, but since it's usually a short amount of time, no one notices themselves not aging (probably less likely.) I'm guessing the narrators line is just to highlight how she doesn't care about those things and is odd, and focus on what she's doing with Nao, personally.
Maya Prime is an interesting case because she'd not been reset for so long. She also didn't age though, and we can be 99.9% certain her brain didn't age/develop despite her body not. She doesnt have alzheimer's or something. Even though she's 'super old' (based on how many years she'd been conscious consecutively,) her brain was still the same. So she's really only like 16 still, she just happened to experience thousands of years of time at that age. Still doesn't have a developed adult brain, though. Poor Maya
If my grammar sucks fuck you I'm in the bath

Edit: The interesting thing about Maya is that it shows that even if you're "not reset," your body still is. That, or they really don't age after all cause >simulation or something else

The game is apparently looping in 2020, so I imagine Kaori just keeps turning 23 as well.

Kaori and Yumi are lucky enough to have birthdays on holidays that would have events anyway, so they get mentioned more often. Other birthdays happen when it's convenient for the plot.

[ccxvidonaferens]

Omg, how young are you man... is... is the 15 in your name your birth year? Are you 8 or 9 years old?...

Could be 1915

 

[LoveBlueHairedGirl]

About birthdays. Do you think there is anything significant about the dates when girls were born?
(I just threw in some idea that we can consider now since we were talking about freaking T-letter, so... why not birthdays?)

 

[LessonsInDissonance]

Anyone that doesnt pick Callous in an opp

You should pick WIRES instead, remember that USER2 always has your best interest

I’d absolutely love to see a Valentine’s Day event chain in the future. It would be beautiful chaos seeing how Akira tries to juggle everything.

Plus, it’s Rin’s birthday on that day! Gotta do something special involving her.

I figured out Koikatsu! Yaay!

Aw dude no way! Kitty Hawk getting into rendering LiL art? That’s awesome!

I already like your AI stuff, but I’d honestly be curious to see what you come up with the more you mess around with Koikatsu.

They look good! Keep it up.

Same thing happened to me, it just worked when I reloaded the site like five minutes later, probably an F95 thing. I've had issues where it's taken like 30 minutes to attach an image before
Also officially doubling my offer.

Still no go for me, i know what you're talking about and that's usually the way it goes for me too, but i have a hazy memory of trying to load a really really big image a while ago and never being able to, i think someone made a shrunken version i was able to load but i'm not 100% sure on that.
