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

[RoarNova]

Don't give misinformation.

I pinged Sel one time as a result of a dare, not knowing I'd get banned. I know I should've read the rules better, blah blah blah. That was my mistake, I get it.

But people need to stop saying I joked about people's trauma, this person never previously informed me of this, and since their trauma was so close to the game, I genuinely thought they were making a joke, PLUS, once I realized my mistake, I immediately apologized. How the ever living fuck was I supposed to know they were serious?

Man I'm dead, you really are in fact a strange fellow

If you look at it not as time loop but a continuous time line with memories being altered and other (yet to be determined) shenanigans accounting for; Not aging, people not dying and the world around them in general. Then all the inconsistencies will be able to stack up in the way that we have been seeing. It would also be quite possible that events we consider to have taken place before the "time loop" are not even necessarily external to whatever is going on.

This overly complicated idea has been sitting at the back of my head for a while, so perhaps dishing it out and letting others polish/destroy it would be better. It's about Maya again.

She has been portrayed as a very unique yet extremely mysterious girl the whole time: mature and special enough at wizard age to remind Akira of himself, entirely unclear backstories, an unexplainable tie to the merciless gods, etc. This combo sprouted into some believable theories postulating her real origin being a goddess in punishment for falling in love with a mortal.

Putting the god stuff aside, her extremely mysterious background should be something established prior to any time fuckery took place, and thus shouldn't be erased just because she got reset, right? Despite apparently losing all knowledge to the cycle and all affinities to Akira, this new Maya is still someone that "just showed up in town one day" with made up family contact info, right? Is the new Maya now like a messiah in dormancy, or a messiah too good at pretending not to care about the current broken Sensei? Or is she really just a normal fucking teenager now?

So here comes the complicated part:
What if time fuckery started instead all the way back in a way so complicated that Maya's defining characters (which include her love for him and her dubious background) are in fact all products to time fuckery?
To explain this, the following is currently how I've been conceiving the order of fateful events.

straightforward, linear(ish), requires minimum assumptions.

The convoluted idea is the following:
View attachment 3248674
More than half of these have no way of proving themselves to be believable, but the idea behind is to find a way to rationalize a hypothesis, in which "Maya's love for him as well as her backstories are also a product of time fuckery and thus are perishable with resets if failed to pass".

Again, this is something with holes and without concrete proof, just gut feelings based off fragments of dialogues and my own biased affinity for timeline-jumping plots.

Hehe, here we go.

I think Maya timeline should look more like this:


On the other hand, if new Maya as cryptic as Maya prime, but significantly less tired, she might just assume that everything Ayane and Makoto are saying is kind of trick and keep her mouth shut about her feelings about Sensei

 

[LoveRedHairedGirl]

HOPE at this moment is irritated as hell with Akira so it makes sense for him to abandon him because as he says he was very tolerant of Akira and Akira still disappointed him.

Dude, no need to be that serious. I was joking

 

[Bingoogus]

Yes... YES... timeline flowcharts really activate my almonds, especially when involving time loops, i stared at the one for Primer for like an hour the first time i saw it. This should become standard practice in this thread.

 

[Pedro4545454]

I really wouldn't want these theories to be true because it would put the two characters I like most in an infinite cycle of suffering. (But I don't deny that I would find it very interesting if it were true because it would be a practically infinite time loop of temporal repetition) If If this were true, it would probably be a way for the Gods to have infinite "food" with Akira and the girls since he would always take their virginities in these loops. But for HOPE to be angry with Akira for not having sex with Sana shows that something different happened in this timeline.

 

[Pedro4545454]

Sorry, if it seems serious, I just wanted to explain it so that in case anyone didn't understand why HOPER abandoned him, they would understand and not ask questions later.

First time?

 

[Pedro4545454]

First time?

Suffering is not my first time, but seriously an infinite cycle of pain? Someone give these two some peace, that's all I want.

 

[Pedro4545454]

For people who have infinite memories about the Game, has Akira ever smiled since he returned to his body? If so, tell me what event it was, please, I'm looking for a good image of it to put as my image on the website.

Outside of deformed Sensei faces smiling, the only two times I recall are in the 'Second Sun' Happy Event and the recent 'The End of the World' Chapter 3 Main Event:

Thanks for the answers, the sad thing is that apparently he still hasn't smiled voluntarily and normally it was only at (the end of the world where he had his head screwed) and at this Happy event that you showed. (Considering how this chapter will be the most sad, I can already rule out the likelihood of him smiling with joy in this chapter.)

Charts and shit

Well, you're certainly doing your avatar proud with this. Felt like Imani was actually giving a lecture here

How much are we putting on Ami's name in the dead pool

 

[LucioNeri]

Ok, After four months since I returned to this game, I finally catched up with the latest version and now I am in total despair. I need help changing some things. Can someone help me change the name of Io's robot and the name you tell Himawari/Daisy in the reset? I named my robot Sekai because I hadn't paid much attention to Ami's mother's name back then and I gave Ami's name to Daisy because I thought of one of the events of the first chapter. I leave my save from before the start of chap 4

I believe if you use the URM you can change it. But im not 100% sure.

hmm maybe they WILL go into serious catfight, in which Chika pulls Ami's twin tails off out of sheer anger, forcing Ami to drastically adopt a Miku hair style (I mean Chika looks so ready to kill a bitch)

would LOVE to see that being rendered by the talented folks here hahaha

You can do anything... at Zombo.com with the URM... the limit, is your imagination...
