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

[Lolicon Kami]

I was looking through the files of the game (in the misc file) and i found an image labeled "yuusroom".

Who's Yuu?

(the first game Selebus made, it's low-key abandoned as Selebus is working hard on LiL)

Fun Fact, from the words of Selebus himself:
Yuu is actually heavily based off of myself. I'm not sure if I did this intentionally or not, it just sort of happened as I wrote the game. And a lot of the people who know me in real life picked that up right away, hahaha.

Given both are by Selebus, I'm rather conflicted on how I should feel. I don't know whether I should be sad that NiB is basically dead because of LiL or happy that LiL is getting more focus because NiB is basically dead. Selebus has kind of cemented himself as a developer that stands out to me and not just for LiL because I know that the same skill he displays in LiL would carry over to other projects as well or the other way around for predecessors to LiL, so, to me, any project by Selebus that doesn't make the big 1.0 is an unfortunate loss no matter why that happened. I still am happy LiL is getting the attention it needs, but sad at the same time for the sacrifice that was made to do that. I believe, no, I know it would have been a great game just like its successor.

Since 0.16 part 1 was already released 2 weeks ago, does that mean that there will be no public releases today?

That was the patron version two weeks ago, it released about 4 hours ago for the public.

 

[El_Zane_123]

Technically speaking, yes: ver. 0.16 part 1 was released for public on Patreon only yesterday. But it has been accessible here since May 16. I have noticed that sometimes new public updates are accessible here earlier than on Patreon. Does anybody know what`s this about?

This is a pirate site. Patreon only updates get leaked very often and Devs can't really do much against it, I think Sel couldn't even stop the first post being updated automatically with leaked updates.

That being said, most of the times for LiL the user base respects Sels decision to offer everything for free just with a 2 weeks delay. Honestly, I wish that would be the case always because I think it's a super fair deal for all parties involved (and secure funding for this masterpiece without sacrificing content from the public) but this here is a pirate site and on pirate site stuff gets pirated... So yeah

(Also fun fact: I wasn't even aware that most of the content here is not with the consent of the game devs. I was pretty naive and didn't question the stuff here XD)

Yeah I'm more than happy to continue posting releases here as soon as they go public as I've demonstrated in the past. But that unfortunately isn't enough to repel the people who claim to like to the game only to actively beg others to steal it for them and post it online so they don't have to spend $5 to get early access to something they are literally going to get for free in two weeks anyway.

That's why I barely come here anymore. It's just depressing. I've been so much less stressed the past two weeks without having to participate in a forum where I'm expected to connect and communicate with people actively stealing from my supporters.

Sigh, another good update but with no H-content. Don't get me wrong, still enjoyed it, and I know this game is not one that you fire up dick in hand for a quick wank, but at least one H scene an update would be nice...

Quick Edit: Seeing Sel's reponse above, just chiming in that I'm still a happy patron, just wish there were more lust scenes

There are three coming in 0.17.0 so you have that to look forward to

Is there any pics that shows upcoming content for the next few patches? I remember you making a few before

I am a sub on your patreon, but I can't seem to find the spoiler discussion channel. I found the one for 16.1, but it says "This channel is ONLY for discussing spoilers in the latest public version of the game. The Patreon spoiler channel is located in the Patreon section of the Discord."
I don't really know where the patreon section is, but then again I am retarded.

I am currently half way done with the build and wanted to see if anyone was able to translate something on the new girls wall or if it is just some random patrons name who paid for the... 15 dollar bonus I think. My go to translation tools are giving me nothing.

You need to link your Discord account to your Patreon to gain access to those channels.
If you've done that and still don't have access, send me a DM on Discord with your Patreon name and I'll grant it to you manually.

 

[Raf-Raf]

So it has been quiet for a day here. So i might just throw in something to think about. And maybe you can tell me what you think about it.

Oh and the content behind the spoiler tag contains at least 2 disturbing scenes (images) with one of them being from one of the "secret" happy scenes. So be warned!

I think I got it. Re-synched in patreon and it worked. Thanks.

Didn't think I'd like rich girl and weird girl as much as I did. Looking forward to more with them.

This is a pirate site, you know this and we know this. Don't forget that many of your supporters were gained from this site, so i don't know why you're so downbeat about it.

So people steal, who doesn't? Everyone on this site has pirated something in the past, i think as long as people spread the word about this game then there should be no problem.

It's an inevitability, i actually do think there should be an obligatory "grace period" of atleast 1 week for every patron release on this site, but that's just me.

That's all I ask for. I'm even on record saying I'd be fine with a 3 day grace period in the past. I just want the people paying me money every month to have early access for more than just a handful of hours.

I get that piracy is a focus of the site but to sit there and say something like "As long as people spread the word there's no problem," is just straight up nonsensical. If I go to a local food stand and steal a freshly baked loaf of bread and then proceed to brag to my friends about the bread I stole, even if one of those friends goes and buys that bread, there's still a loss of profit.

Of course people are going to steal shit. That's life. But don't pretend that it's an okay thing to do. Know you're being a fucking cock and keep to yourself while doing it. Don't steal and then talk about how it's okay because someone will spend money.

I'm a patreon supporter btw, i'm just saying that most people don't care about your concerns. "As long as people spread the word there's no problem" is how most people will react to your concerns, when they're not being straight up hostile about it.

To make a game nowadays, more than ever before, is too know you're gonna get mugged from every angle, as long as you're a nice and respectful dev (which you are) you'll earn the respect from those that mug you, and maybe they'll even donate to you in the long run.

They should make it so that active devs in the community can request that their game isn't released until a certain time. To have a few days, weeks, or whatever else where it isn't updated here. I emphasise the word active, because obviously a lot of games posted here are already finished, and so those devs probably haven't even heard of this site, nevermind use it. But regardless, they should be able to request that it isn't leaked until they are happier for it to be released. Otherwise active devs like Sel that don't want it released too early, they wont be happy
As for myself, I had no idea this was a piracy site for a long time myself. I was just looking for adult games, everywhere else was badly made games or in different languages that I didn't understand

 

[Vizer007]

If I had money I would pay just to get access to patreon's discord role priviliges, actually. Sadly where I live 5$ is quite a lot T-T

Agree, devs should have at least a month's worth of protection from leaks, and then after that, it's all up grabs. I just feel so bad when the devs who consistently update suffer from their game being leaked the next day by fuckers.
