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

[Apollo259]

For those interested, here's a comparison between the 'Stray Cat' Main Event in Chapter 1, and the 'Rough Cuts' Chika Event in Chapter 3:

Also considering this scarf was what caused Maya to break character for the first time:

And more or less was what was responsible for changing Maya into who she became in Chapter 2, it's possibly the most impactful deviation in this timeline.

So, yeah, The Shapeshifter, and possibly Pareidolia since they seem related, have likely been messing with things for awhile. Since before the 2nd Reset. Before Winter. Before the other School was swallowed. All of which occurred soon afterwards.

I wonder if he changed "stray cat" at all in the rework to make it fit Himawari. I'm pretty sure he added her to the first happy event in the rework. And you can get that within something like the first 10-20 events. So I guess you are supposed to assume she has been messing with things since the start.

As far as I can tell based off the wiki, 'Stray Cat' wasn't changed. However, the first Happy Event 'The Room with Clocks' was changed a lot, with the Shapeshifter showing up at the end:

And an early Main event 'Scientific Research' was changed, with a secret scene showing up if you have 2000 Ayane affection. In it, the Shapeshifter appears to be on her lunch break when Sensei shows up being barely comprehensible:

I also think she's been intended to be a major Narrator since the start. Especially the one on the beach trips. This hasn't been made clear, but it definitely seemed implied during the latest beach trip:

I just realized there is a mall renovation announcement as well, making it all the more scarier if this is true.

Mall will probably be removed as regular location because Chika changed her job. Unless it would becomehangout spot for somebody else (Miku )

These previews and previous ones don't look like an events happening, but more like a one-event character introduction sequence. Brave new universe, but roles seem to remain the same.

There might be previews from generic events

Sel actually said that he's doing posing for generics now, hence the previews. So - yeah, they are generics.

[BlackDays]

Looking at some of the new pictures delivered by the sauce heroes, some things that caught my attention.

I think it will take me some time, to get used to espacially Rin's new appearence.
Chika doesn't seem to have that impact on me, but Rin..., it feels weird.

Interesting is, that some girls now seem to have those... neck bands?, or what would they be called?
Some of them seem to also have new necklaces.

Espacially this one on Rin

I don't think that's an eight (8).
Given that the new chapter (update .36), is the infinite spring, i think this could also be an infinity sign ∞ (aka mobius band).

It's kind of like a Sel game that didn't come out. At 0.35 the part appears in delirium

I'm not sure about the back hairstyle yet, but there are no other angles yet — it's difficult

Sel seems to have a few prequels to Lessons in Love that were never actually finished.

After last update though, in the latest Happy Event 'Rain King', it seems implied that even those unfinished games and characters are tied into Lessons in Love:

Presumably they are all related through something like the Upside Down House, like Sensei's mother, Saki, but it's possible they are just cameos. Although, that's what most thought about Saki and it's rather clear it's more than that, in her case.

Edit: In Retrospect, there being 3 games created by Sel, and 3 numbers mentioned by Yasu:

Spoiler

Could imply the games represent worlds. Saki and her characters could be 22, and since LiL seems to be 23, that would probably mean Kanon and the rest are from 24. Perhaps LiL is actually the middle of a trilogy?

Yasu's words continue to haunt me:

I was just about to ask if anyone knows the origin of Kanon (literally about to hit POST REPLY), assuming she's another parody version of an actual cast just like Tsurumi; then all these girls all come out at the same time out of literal thin air and get me confused unga bunga again.

Going to assume for now that these are solely just either design idea prototypes of some girls, or extremely inside jokes/references only Sel himself gets

That was a little game that was born a few months after the creation of LiL, when he created his subscribestar, but Selebus never finished it. go here, for more context. https://f95zone.to/threads/lessons-in-love-v0-35-0-selebus.48158/post-3839816 ----->

It seems like Sellebus really wanted to create his own cinematic universe with overarching narrative and plot that eventually ties everything together, but cut corners along the way, lol. Ambitious.

So he wanted MCU but ended up going the DCU route?

So, LiL really is in the middle of Sel's games.. interesting. Considering Saki was treated as a parent to LiL's MC, with presumably NiB's MC being the father, perhaps Kanon and her brother are Sensei's kids, since her brother seemed to be the next in line to be a MC, in GOTD.

Their presumably brown hair also fits Sensei's and the Shapeshifter's in my opinion, and if she's Sensei's daughter through Ayane, I wonder who Kanon's mother is? She has Noriko's hair style, but her eyes don't seem to match anyone's quite right as far as I can tell:

Probably won't ever matter much, but I'm definitely intrigued. Also fits what Nao seemed to imply was Sensei's fate:

The offspring in this case, perhaps being Kanon and her brother. Maybe also, the Shapeshifter.

 

[ElukiaTV]

Considering how many clones LiL got... the LCU is already done. XD

 

[BlackDays]

Maybe i can shed some new light on this whole (what could we call it?), i guess i'm going with Lessons in Love Unified Lore Universe. LILULU or LULU? ^^
Don't take this all too seriously though.

IIRC Sel like's David Lynch.
Lynch was the creator (besides other media i guess) of the 1984's movie "Dune", based on Frank Herberts Dune (Universe).
Now, some of you might know, but for those who don't, Dune, every iteration of it that was released as movies until now (Org. Dune 1984, Dune TV series ~2000/ 6 parts, recent new movie and it's sequels), are part of a rather large story, where the "Dune" part is in the middle. And Dune makes just about a 1/10th of the whole story (If we include Herbert's son, who continued the story).

What i want to get to is, maybe Sel is trying the same thing.
Creating a whole universe (that's in... erm coherent) where Lil is taking place in.

He could be using his prior game attempts as a lore backup, while, like with Dune, they won't have a real impact on Lil, besides stage setting.

The only exception i see yet, is the "Upside Down house". The "Upside Down House" might be something that pierces through the whole story/lore universe.

 

[fdsasdf_p]

Shouldn't Chinami also be on the list of girls with new designs/outfits next to her sister if the next update really is going to be starting in Ayaneverse?

Chinami should also be rid of a reason to keep her bleach blonde hair just like Chika if the cause of it is going to be rewritten from the root. Unless any effect of Ayaneverse is only on a psychic level (i.e., trauma is not gone, but overcome), and only does its work on Chika and not Chinami somehow due to Ayane's understanding to everyone's situation, but this imo is a little creepy and is very close to lazy writing.

Considering Chika getting a new job and how Sel responded to the question "why Rin dyed her hair", the changes we've sneak peeked might just be a normal progression within the stories when at the same time welcoming the arrival of a season that Kumon-mi never has (here goes your normal I guess).
What I will not understand is why dyeing her hair black is a requirement from the maid cafe if such thing turns out to be true. C'mom! Classic gyaru maids! How very hot and fetishizable!

Besides, if Ayane does obtain power to make changes, the first thing she might do is make herself forget all of this and reset herself to an old oblivious version after seeing Ami's horrible death, instead of suddenly becoming a new messiah not just for Sensei, but for almost everyone (because apparently not everyone gets their fix in this Ayaneverse).
