Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.45.0] [Selebus]

[hario1225]

Ami is more like an Unclecon, tbh.

I do think Sensei is the most similar character to Sekai though. Both have rather depraved interests, on top of liking poetry, and being a teacher. She definitely "inspired" him.

It's more like that she 'influenced' him. Although it'd make sense to use 'inspire' since he turned out to be a great writer/poet. Perhaps Sekai wanted him to be more like 'her' and eventually guided him to the same path. It can be a part of her grooming/manipulating Akira.

Sure I get the logic behind the puzzles, I just don't think it works that way in practice. I can feel the emotions of the characters in other events just fine, without any ludonarrative mechanics. But for reset events I don't feel Sensei's confusion or frustration, I just feel my own. And even that just slips into boredom pretty quickly. The puzzles take me out of the story to scour past events for specific bits of text until I realize that's a waste of time and just search for the answers.

Or rather just beg the forum for answers and hope the next green arrow is finally large enough to guide me.

The way you feel is how Sensei is feeling except his mind is also degenerated. During the puzzles, Sensei gets confused, frustrated, and bored as well. He can even just decide to jerk himself off to death instead of finding a way out at one point. Overall, It is supposed to be confusing, frustrating, and unpleasant if you haven't been paying attention to the game, like a challenging boss battle.

Also I recommend just screenshotting things that seem notable. Like when he mentioned his password or when the game tells you to remember or write things down. I've never found the puzzles all that difficult, tbh. At least after realizing there were puzzles. At most, the Ip address was annoying, but it fits the whole User 1 and User 2 lore, and you get it right before the puzzles start if I recall. Other stuff like the recent puzzle for Noriko literally asks you to type Dirt backwards or User 1 more like Loser 1.

Since we all agree that the bad Uncle route seems to have taken L recently. I wonder how he's going to gives the good Uncle route an L. Any theories?

Automatic restart of the game when ami gets fed up with her uncle not giving her the D and giving it to everyone else. I'm in the 99% positive area of this entire thing revolving around ami, her whims, and what she wants. And she wants her uncle to change and love her and only her.
Edit.
Also if you replay the very start its comes off overly creepy how ami pretty much gaslights you with your personal info and ignores anything is wrong with you, at least within context of knowing everything about her and the level of stalkerish devotion she has for sensei.

Not only a writer, poet, and teacher, he also became a predator just like her, and went on to groom and manipulate minors. (Like Yumi for example, the game notes that she was scared by him forcing himself onto her just like he was when Sekai did the same thing to him).

I typed "inspired" because it's likely the best word to get my point across, but I don't agree with it's typical positive connotations in this context.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ami just straight up drugs Sensei full of Viagra and Aphrodisiacs until he can't resist her, or murders someone, probably Maya. Maybe even herself. Then comes back broken like Makoto was.

She might also get depressed like Rin and start cutting herself to feel something, which does get her more attention from Sensei, causing her to continue doing it until he accepts her.

(Btw, haven't played the "Good Uncle" route, so is it actually worth it? Like lore wise and entertainment wise? I know Bad Homie isn't worth it, at least in my opinion.)

I agree that the game will cash in on the reset it promised, but I wonder if she knows she has that type of power or if she is slowly figuring it out.


If she does know, I wonder why she has all the other girls around. She doesn't seem like the type to let any sort of competition exist in any way, shape, or form.

 

[hario1225]

I'm actually curious what kind of book Sensei used to write about. Based on some previews on the next update (shared here), Nodoka was probably having a book signing. I guess it would be a thing Sensei would do if he continued to write just like Makoto asked him to.

Also, he might actually compete on Nodoka's intellect based on his record of being the top of his class back then. He had a lot of 'smartass' moments whenever he's interacting with Nodoka afterall.

has anyone else encountered a bug with Kirin's event "never enough" I've met all the requirements (I'm using the guide mod ) and it says that I just need to "Wait until Wednesday) but I have like, 4-5 times now and I'm kind of at a loss on what to do, just wanted to know if anyone had any similar issues or if there was some way to try and fix this.

Something that's been bugging me now that we know sensei's name is, why is he so adamant about other people knowing about it? Also everyone else, except for the non-MILFs non co-workers, should already know it or should have easy access to it. I mean, I don't think Tsubasa had to hire a private detective to figure out the name of her daughter's teacher.

I kinda hope Selebus adresses this with the other girls saying "Oh we already know your name, what kind of school doesn't give you the name of your teacher. We just get used to calling you sensei" or something like that and then sensei sulks in his inner monologue about his name not being super special.

Noriko mentioned that she's actually calling him that all this time, but for some reason it was being filtered out as 'Sensei'. Maybe it's a way the world doesn't want Akira to break the cycle of the time loops / toy with him, or it might be Sekai. However, Niki was a different case. Isn't it weird that Ami was listening to her songs all this time and it never awakened any memories in him?

The moment he became aware of the timeloops and things turned different this time, things changed. (For example, the school being swallowed by a hole resulting to Noriko finally reuniting with Sensei). It wasn't what's supposed to happen. This puts another 'branch' to the original timeline which we can infer as the 'trunk' and by meeting Noriko, he eventually met Niki who literally holds the majority of his memories. We can refer to her as the 'trigger'. Noriko was still young back then so it couldn't possibly be her, it can't be Ami, not Maya. It was Niki.

I might be able to upload most of it somewhere later, wouldn't expect the link to last long though considering both the type of content Sel makes and/or people possibly reporting it

This took way too long, my upload speed sucks ass, but here we go, it should have most if not all custom renders up to december 2022. There is both a complete version and a cleaned/sanitized one where I manually cleared most of the gratuitous display of violence and wizard age lewds, might have missed some of them tho.

True, but he's doing all this in Renpy. It's a bear-bones engine, even for visual novels. If you want puzzles that aren't just typing stuff in, he'd have to port the entire game over to a new system like Unity or something. I'm sure he's doing the best that he can with the tools at his disposal.

I mean one idea I had for a puzzle of sorts is to have a mini time loop thing where you learn things within the loop to help you progress and then eventually break the loop. It'd be fairly easy since it would be just branching choices and text inputs. It'd feel like an actual puzzle as you figure out what to do and when to leave the loop. Basically like the MGQaradox time loop event kind of.

Also even if he doesn't want to do that time loop idea he should just cut the fat out of the "puzzles" and only leave things that actually require "solving" and not just backtracking imo. Or if he can't actually think of any puzzles just don't include any at all.

Think it's probably because she wants him to choose her. It's not a choice if he didn't choose
its not much of a choice if he doesn't have choices, she just refuses to accept the wrong one.
though that could be other things, she might be completely fine with wiping everyone out but her and akira, she just can't, if that is akira's ego refusing to let them be fully erased or some other aspect yet to be revealed, who knows.

NO, NOT AGAIN.
NEVER have another event like the world break event where we just spend an eternity praying and going everywhere till we get to the school on sunday...

just... random bullshit talk
I am a fan of many things and was just noticing there is 20 Main girls with a handful of side girls...
you know what else had 20 characters centered around a single dude with 4ish god like beings fucking around with everything
warhammer 40K
new discussion topic for relatively dead thread which primarch best represents which main girl.
and which two girls are dead and never to be spoken of again
I'll start Ami is Horus
lets get some fan art of this for the laughs

I have no expectations of anyone taking this seriously (because I certainly dont) but if someone laughed from this post once, momentarily imagining the girls as huge slabs of muscled men. I did good
clearly selebus stole the idea of LiL from games workshop... they defend their copyrights so fucking hard

 

[hario1225]

I suppose that the next candidates for defloration would be: Miku, Sana, & Molly. Sana was literally being toyed by the angels, no wonder Yasu was 'scouting' her during the christmas/beach event.
