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

[JohnnyRazer]

Selebus Just got caught up with the latest patron build no thanks to some IRL stuff getting in the way of my normal 'play it as soon as I get the notification' schedule for this game. This one stung on multiple girls in the most unpleasant way possible, but it had incredible happy moments as well. Things are already starting to come together and, because it isn't public yet, all I'll really say is that I'm both happy I guessed right on some aspects and terrified at what they might mean in the future. My least favorite character has truly redeemed herself in my eyes now through conversations with her mother and I now never want to see the look on a certain (nearly) emotionless girl's face during her dorm events again. That terror I felt, that sinking feeling as I stared into those terrified, teary eyes of hers, was one of the most dreadful emotional experiences I've ever had, but the scariest part? That dread is a good thing, I should have felt that at that moment. Incredible update, can't wait for the rest of you to experience it yourselves when it goes public.

Goddamit, man, you really piqued my interest and my hand moved to wallet to immediately gain access to patron build. I'm an old seasoned pirate yarrrrr, but even I begin to cave in. Still holding though, but that day when I gib Selebus money is dangerously close.

Well, thing is, a lot of characters break the 4th wall and it's hard to know when it's "serious" and when it's tongue in cheek.

I even think that the whole "game" is a break in the 4th wall totally tearing the 4th wall down and even more, hence the break of the (4th wall)².
Im pretty sure that there is some kind of scientific or religious term that relates to people rubbing of on other people or even objects.
What i mean is that you just cant avoid to influence people or even objects you spend time with. Like people taking over words u use or vise versa. Or things u use that wear and tear and what not. Think about a gift you get. It means more than just its material value to you.

Its even more of a thing when people get creative. They rub off on their work no matter what. Mostly intended though.

Check out the wiki linked to the game. Then, you can look up the events you still need to do there and it'll tell you the requirements and all. That's what I did anyway.

First of all thanks for replying.
Second, its really detailed
I'm not a lost puppy or something I can find my ways around games but on this one I tend to get lost so much even with the wiki xD

How do you advance ?

I mean... its more realistic than most games
Like Summertime saga where you help every soul you meet
Its a great game but from time to time its fun to be an asshole xD

Yumi, Chika AND Maya events in the aftermath of the 14.0 content?

It's been a while since my wallet flew into my hands that fast.

I agree, some games are all about hooking up with all the characters and that's fine. This game is more about establishing relationship(s) and is far more story driven.

I made a simple mod to be able to view all stats on a single page from the menu. Kind of like the existing progress page (which I only learned about when Selebus mentioned it yesterday) but more compact:



In what is admittedly a not very useful gimmick, girls only show up on the list after being introduced in the story (hence the absence of Niki and Noriko in the screenshot).

Nice work! I turned it into a table (and scorched the earth of all instances of "== True") because redundancy is my least favorite thing being redundancy.

I don't actually have a save with all the girls unlocked because I started fresh so I'm not sure if they're all working, but the spirit is willing even if the flesh might be weak at least.

Note: "Progress" in the Quick Menu goes to the old style, "Progress" in the main menu goes here)

Very nice! I had never touched Renpy (or Python) before and looking into how to make an actual table was more effort than I was willing to make (and it never even occurred to me that if statements could be truncated like that).

It works with all of the girls unlocked, but it's a tight fit. The start of the table will have to be moved higher or the text size reduced when the last four girls are added in the next few updates.

Also worth mentioning to anyone else reading that this version is for 0.15.0 part 1 only. It will crash 0.14.0.

Updated my event tracker/guide for 0.15.0 Part 1.

Awesome update: Chika, Maya and a little bit of Sara makes me a happy consumer

Don't feel bad, I had to shell out almost six figures for a CS degree to learn it. There are much better ways to

For future reference, "vbox" means vertical box (vertical referring to the arrangement of the "text" objects) and are used as the columns of the table here. There was one big one originally, I just split it up into four.

"xpos" and "ypos" refer to the x (horizontal) and y (vertical) axis positions of the upper left corner of the vbox. We're using relative positioning here which goes from 0.0 to 1.0 to represent a position as a fraction of the total screen height or width. You can also think of it as 0% to 100% - so "xpos .25" means 25% across the screen from the left (all the way left is 0.0, all the way right is 1.0), and "ypos .15" means 15% of the way below the top (0.0 is the very top, 1.0 is the very bottom. Don't blame math for this being backwards, or even Renpy really, this is an old school computer graphics processing standard).

So to make room for more names at the bottom - I think a scrollbar will automatically show up if it overflows, but that sucks - all you would need to do is change the "ypos" values for each "vbox" to .10 or less. That will move the top of the columns higher.

I've been using this in my new scratch playthrough. Very helpful!

Play the majority of the game. Clearly defined waifus. "These are clearly best grills, best stories, best looks, best..." Ramen scene with Yuki. "Hello Laverne!"

 

[AgumenticR]

what do you guys think?

Option 1 locks you out of an event, from what I gathered, and that is just not acceptable in my book. No ugly red strikethrough words here, thank you very much. Also, I think the current "harem" route is not the place for sparing girl's feelings at the cost of not going for them. Leave that for purity routes sometime later this decade.

Thanks! I'll go with option 2 then

Depending on the person you are, you'll likely feel bad regardless of what option you choose. It's a lose-lose situation. I opted to lie to her since I wanted to keep the door open for future dating lewding opportunities.

I really don't know if I'd want to visit a diner that had a 'Sausage Fest' on the menu...

God, Kaori is so fucking weird, but I'm beginning to like her.

Edit:

Spoiler: Ahh, the world pre-covid was such a wonderful place, was it not?

I'm sensing some sort of "Rin" vibe just by looking at this,
And it's not just bcause of the fact that she kinda looks like Rin up close.
