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

[DeSkel15]

I might have missed this, but is there an in-game lore reason that everyone is associating certain gods with certain seasons? I'm a bit lost on why everyone is calling HOPE winter, etc

HOPE/Callous god is actually likely strongest in Summer. The Wire god/Calm god is likely strongest in Winter. Pareidolia/Concerned god is likely strongest in Spring.

Yasu has noted/Implied that her god slumbers in Winter and dislikes the cold:

We also have "The Lust Eater" Book in 'A Life Of Prizes' that you get if you have chosen Callous, being hot:

and besides the Book mentioning eyes which is a Yasu god/HOPE thing, it also says something that heavily implies it is HOPE:

The god of wires being Winter is more of an educated guess thing as far as I can recall. Tsuneyo has implied to have a preference for Winter, so with that, and how she seems heavily related to this god, on top of Yasu/HOPE seemingly disliking Wires and Winter, it fits. We also have the 'A Life of Prizes' book that you get if you chose Calm, being called the "The Wire God" and it's notably cold:

and it responds like a computer:

So, it's not entirely clear but very likely that The Wire god is a Winter god.

There is also how Pareidolia implied the /// computer talk stuff is out of season in Summer in 'Ad Infinitum':

Which implies the /// computer talk is a Winter thing, and the Wire god is the one who tends to only speak that way. In a roundabout way implying the Wire god's season is Winter.

Now, as for Pareidolia, it has actually just implied that it is it's turn in Springtime:

As to why Seasons matter: Pareidolia has implied that Seasons affect the gods performance before it got one:

That on top of Yasu's god slumbering in Winter, etc, it's more or less confirmed that Seasons are important when it comes to the gods.

Also, just so you know what I'm talking about with the 'A Life of Prizes' Books, these are their names:

Oh Kaori you never disappoint

Hoo boy, I've made it to the end of the current content. I almost quit a couple times over how much I despised Sensei, but I'm glad I persisted. Getting to learn how much was hiding beneath the surface of all these characters is really neat, Selly is quite good at character writing (but not game design, alas). Even Akira himself, who I thought was completely irredeemable in chapter 1, is slowly, ever so slowly, becoming less of a trash bin. I'm also a sucker for time loop/peggy sue stories, so the resets really hit the dopamine button.

Is it confirmed that Ami's parents died in the car crash as being the ones inside one of the car during the accident or being between two car crash collisions?

I ask this, because I see a lot of people in the thread assume/theorize that Sensei or Maya would've had something to do with sabotaging the car etc. etc. and I assumed this as well. Maybe to a certain extent a role was played that hasn't been revealed yet. That or I missed a memo entirely.


Don't know how reliable the monologue can be with the text being crossed out, or trusting Sensei's perspective or wording at times.

That and a bunch of other times cars are seen:

Don't know what disproving/proving matters or how important in the manner of how they died, but after seeing the latest Sekai flashback in patch 0.33.0 it made me want to go back.

Spoiler: Chapter 3 Event - いないいない。。。ばあ！

It's somewhat still up in the air.

The main things that I've noticed that is likely important when it comes to the accident besides it being when Ami was 7, and it killed her parents is:

• In 'The mysterious abundance of chickens': Sensei seemingly removed "strips of steel from her body" and "saw it all":

  "Her" is likely Sekai.
• In 'First contact': Sensei seems to imply he was in a moving car, a moving car crashed into a wall, and it was "Us driving":

  Also seemingly there was a moon out, and Sensei also asks "Why did it have to be him?":

• In 'The way it scatters' If you're fucking Ami: Ami reveals she watched her parents die:

• In the Japanese 'Peekaboo' event where Sekai is restored: Sekai's car seems to show up and be Yellow:

  And in 'Baby Finches': It's the Yellow car that seems to crash:

Now, overall, it hasn't really been confirmed what happened.

Still, I am beginning to think Sensei was driving Sekai's car with Sekai and Ami in it, but he crashed into another car that just so happened to be Nozomu's, and they both wrecked. Sekai and Nozomu ended up dead (Nozomu burned to death becoming a ball of light, while Sekai became mangled into looking like a tree with roots of wire), while Ami and Sensei ended up "broken". I can also see Sensei considering his brother as a "Wall", due to him being the thing between Sensei and Sekai (The World).

Of course, I could be way off.

I swap around screen handles every few years and it just so happens that this is my current fad.

Also, thanks a lot for pointing me toward URM in one of your earlier posts, it's saving me a lot of time exploring branching paths. I also got a bizarre introduction to whatever the fuck Huggy Boy is, but let's not talk about that part.

I didn't take any notes because it was such a straightforward update, so I might not remember something but

I first thought you had changed usernames, you're a celebrity

 

[LucianoSK]

Anyone with that helpful list of events yet?

 

[blackredfish]

Definitely very sus. Probably created an alt just to give out more reactions

Thanks btw, we love you.

 

[Vega Cifer]

yknkw I havent really seen many comments on the one update where an assumedlybGod in ami talks about something like a multiverse of worlds and stuff like that. What are the thoughts and theories on that? Would that have been one of the Gods like hope? Or another thing entirely

 

[k1n5l4y3r]

Anyone with that helpful list of events yet?

For this update? Sure:
Boner on the Bus: Auto starts on saturday, rest of events are chains from this event

 

[crustlord12]

DeSkel15 do you have a photographic memory or something? There are a ridiculous number of events in this game, how are you always capable of finding exact scenes where information is?? It's genuinely impressive as hell.

I'm related to Nodoka. Don't let her know that though. I've heard the rumors..

Nah, It's more like I'm just a nerd, lmao. Lessons in Love happened to catch my interest, and tbh, it's nowhere near as hard to follow as some comic book stuff I was obsessed with as a kid.

Not to say I can remember everything. There's still likely things I've forgotten or simply didn't pay enough attention to. I've been meaning to replay it, as I know, I've likely missed some things, but I haven't gotten around to starting it just yet.

 

[DeSkel15]

The HuggyBoy versions of the characters:

are making it hard to resist replaying the game again, just to see the variations. Must find time...

Huggy Boy is a trip.

For the Core Packages, can I install different months as I tried it with one but installing another month asked me to overwrite some files?

 

[Anonym321]

Guys, did anyone check what happens in case you didn`t have any relationships with Haruka?

It skips the event. That's it.

You can install then all, just remember to patch the gui file after you're done or face save destruction.
