Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.44.0] [Selebus]

[Wardtnaci]

So, did anyone else find it odd how Sekai specifically noted that she's "haunting" Sensei and no one else?:

I didn't, I am of the belief that when Sekai died, Akira's Mental Breakdown created a Sekai personality that was locked away when he had no memory of his past.(I suck @ explaining Psychology maybe others that can understand & explain multiple personality disorder, if that's the right disorder, or correct me on the right type.) But now as his memories are slowly coming back so is the Sakai personality. Since he knew her so well in life, his broken mind's facsimile of her makes her appear like she is really there like a ghost to Akira. But no one else can see her as its all in Akira's head.

any notice on Karin's dialogue variations with the recent update(s)? I'm talking about the Forty Degrees Below Zero event;
I still can't think of a reason why to take a moral high ground and telling Karin the truth at all other than to miss/see future fucked up events. The only dialogue variation I remember is during the 2nd xmas party.

I don't think I have any saves where I genuinely chose to pick the option of "being involved w/ Kirin" and just lie to her every time. Kudos to Sel if he is still keeping up with it I guess.

I can't seem to recall the last time the Karin route mattered. Definitely one of the less impactful choices.

At this point, I'm kind of hoping Karin is a psychopath or something. Might make her more interesting and for those interested in a random speculation: Karin and Ami did seem to be having problems with eachother the last we see them together (along with Imani), then Ami ended up butchered off screen, later on.

I mean, that works for the Hallucination version of Sekai, but Sekai apparently did stuff while Sensei wasn't even around.

Like with Yasu:

And Kaori seemed to allude to Sekai/something still being in her, last update while at an entirely different place than Sensei:

In hindsight, Kaori also seemed to imply whatever it is, is responsible for Nao-chan:

Also, it's called D.I.D now. Dissociative Identity Disorder. Multiple Personality Disorder has been retconned in reality, lmao.

 

[DeSkel15]

Since we're on the topic of D.I.D, I've been thinking "Mega Ami":

Spoiler

Is likely Ami's caretaking Alter. It is fully committed to taking care of Sensei, and is likely triggered by seeing someone that is vulnerable or needs to be taken care of:

This one seemed created as a side effect of losing her parents and being forced to take care of her uncle since she was 7.

Then there's the other Ami (not sure of a name for it, yet) which comes out when she feels threatened:

Spoiler

Seems to try to act scary, and psycho, but is all bark and no bite.

Likely triggered by the feeling that Sensei might abandon her or be taken from her:

It's more or less a self defense Alter, and it seems easily defused by just being nice to her:

Spoiler

Likely created due to her parents being taken from her, then later on other girls showing up and Sensei's weakness to little girls, and sex, becoming more apparent.

There might be some others, but these two seem to be at the forefront.

seems that AI guy is making SO characters on top of LiL characters.

I wonder if he will add Nodoka?

Hm, Nodoka definitely seems like a difficult personality to replicate. Also no Dayai? Poor girl gets cucked in every reality.

 

[jameswitcher]

honestly, I would think that either Kaori or Yasu would have more difficult personalities to recreate, based on their special "quirks".

poor Dayai. I noticed Juna & Hana are also missing from the list

Kaori has her own way of talking, but isn't too hard to talk to. Sensei can somewhat replicate her, and both he and Niki can understand her. Yasu is more or less just a zealot that hears things. Nodoka is like if Google and Sensei had a baby then she was raised on coffee and incest, lmao.

Yeah, it might be more of a "in demand" thing. From what I recall, Hana and Juna weren't exactly fan favs. Suppose that could go for Dayai and Nodoka as well.

This shit kinda nutty lmao. I respect and acknowledge the idea but Sele seems like the kinda person that if you figure it out, theyre gonna rewrite minor stuff to make you wrong so they can eventually brag that 'no one ever figured out my twists!'

 

[throwawaysponge]

Here's some extra fuckery for 0 Reason

 

[IndexCodex]

DRM care package v2:

Patched gui.rpy (install this in your LiL/game folder to disable the DRM)
Hidden-code-free summerdorm2monsecond.png (just to eradicate the DRM for completeness)

Original .30 script.rpy (in case yours gets schwacked)
1-1-LT1.save - Complete 0.29 Good Uncle save (needs Guide Mod in original post to work, even the older version will work)

I'm sure someone can provide a Bad Uncle save if needed.

On a semi-related note, the fishing game seen in some early porn shop events with posters - Hero's Harem Guild - supposedly updates today after 2.5 years on hiatus

Crazy how we've gotten to a point where a guy who's delayed updates that long has done markedly less damage to his own community than in this one, one of the most regularly updated games in the biz.

How do I dl these without working links?

How do I dl these without working links?

With the amazing power of right clicking and 'saving as'.

 

[JelF547]

BTW, would it be october care package at all?

 

[Dc345]

This 2 month break is really making everything feel off. Right about now we would've been getting a look at new outfits for characters (if they had them) and new scenes as previews. And even the sporadic releases of the care packages makes everything feel off. So if we don't get a care package next week I don't think we will get any new LIL content till December because Sel said he was going to Japan in November.

Halloween 1 release date: 11/1/2020
Christmas 1 release date: 12/15/2020
Halloween 2 release date: 11/1/2021
Christmas 2 release date: March 2022
Halloween 3 release date: 12/3/2022
Christmas 3 release date: 1/5/2023
Halloween 4 release date: 10/19/2023
Christmas 4 release date: 1/1/2024

Things feeling off around the holidays is the norm for this game. The holidays always muck with people's schedules. I put the dates above so that I could point out that outside of the first year of holiday updates, the holiday updates have almost always been a bit wonky. Christmas in March? Halloween in December? We're actually getting both updates at a normal time of the year for the first time since the first holiday events.

At this point, I assume that Sel is going to be travelling or otherwise taking a break around the holidays, and more power to him. People deserve to be able to take time off.

I wrote a shell script to help me manage my collection of music from Lessons in Love, and I thought it might interest a couple people here.

It assumes you keep your LiL music for general listening in a separate folder. It checks the contents of that folder against the current tracks in the LiL 'game/' folder. It presents each track missing from your folder to you. You may choose either to copy the track to your folder, or add it to a blacklist so that it will not be presented again. The blacklist would generally contain the filenames of tracks that are sound effects / earrape / etc.



Run the script once after every LiL update to painlessly add the music you want to your own collection for later listening.

This is a Bash script, so it should run without trouble on macOS or Linux. Should work on Windows with Cygwin, too. I tested it on Arch Linux. I'm releasing this code to you under the permissive MIT license; do what you like with it.

I've included my blacklist so you can avoid generating a fresh one. It belongs in the folder where you will keep your music! There's also a copy of the license just so you have it. I recommend you remove the extra '.txt' extension I had to add to upload the script. Make sure it has execution permissions as well.

Dependencies: make sure you have coreutils, findutils, grep, and ffmpeg (for `ffplay`, used to let you listen to the track while you choose).

Before use, edit the first section of the file! The variable 'GAME_PATH' must contain the path to your LiL game folder. The variable 'MUSIC_PATH' must contain the path to the (separate) folder where you want your LiL music kept.

After going back and replaying Chapter 2 Tsuneyo's "Fuck You" running gag is probably the best in the game.

 

[DSasha]

I just hope Rangers win the MLB and Selebus suddenly feel so happy that he finally feel like make this a happy as he promised me when I first played this ****


Which reminds me that sometimes I was surprised by how late many people tend to respond here and one day I remembered that America exists and suddenly everything made sense.

pd: Baseball is so fkn boring, But both Sel and Io likes it so I also hope that that means something good to her :3

I doubt people check this thread daily too. I mean, I often leave it until there are pages of "content" and just read it later, though after this update this thread is much less active.

This thread is kind of like my front desk for this website, it's where i start from and i update the link to the last post every time i'm 'done', until next time i want to check it which is as often as i check my other regular websites.
