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

How do I go about updating the game, do I need to install the whole game again? And if so how do I keep my save, I'll do some more research but I wanna get this question out there.

You know, the fact that Kaori more or less kidnapped a kid and is apparently now dressing up as a cop with that kid, is a little.. ironic. I feel like there's a better word for it, but that fits I suppose.

Also, I sincerely hope Otoha doesn't try to get some sort of indirect kiss from Niki or something. I always find that kind of stuff creepy and gross.

As for the Touka Kirin one, maybe Touka is starting to get a little jealous after her talk about Sensei with her mom?

To update, just add the .34 update to the .33 version you already have. If you don't have that version though, you'll have to download the .34 version. Then just move your saves to that.

I don't see it, what I see in Sel is someone who is fine with fictional content of a certain variety, the wizards. He's essentially the same as I am in that regard, we both accept wizard content in fiction. What the SO dev is accused of is going after actual people, which is not the same thing. Well, I mean, it is the same legally in the place that reported on what the SO dev did because that place doesn't discriminate between fiction and reality, but the place where Sel is from does.


Honestly, same, I gave it a try and it just didn't have the appeal on either side of the porn vs story fence that LiL sits firmly on the story side of. It was trying to be like LiL without the Denpa elements (not saying it copied LiL, it did not), which just doesn't work. That's why the Denpa elements aren't skippable in LiL, because they are essential, and that was a big mistake in the purpose of SO as explained by the SO dev. The story is why we play LiL and LiL without the Denpa elements would just be...uneventful and boring with the rest of the story the way it is. LiL would essentially have to be rebuilt from the ground up in order to remove the Denpa elements.

My main gripe with SO really just came down to how it rubbed me the wrong way.

The immaturity of the characters with memes, weed, and potty humor coming up quite a bit, stacked onto how choices either didn't seem to matter, or lead to exaggerated outcomes, and in retrospect how blackmailing and lewd pics of underage girls through out the story seemed to be natural(?). I feel like if the Yumi Nodoka stuff happened in SO, it'd be considered "hot", and Nodoka would have came out mentioning she just took a huge shit before blackmailing Yumi.

I think I quit playing after feeling annoyed by other MCs messing around with the MC's aunt in the background, disturbed by the fact a version of the MC's aunt apparently licked up dog cum and may have been fucked by a chicken, and weirded out by how one of the new students found being cornered by the MC in a dressing room at a store, if I remember correctly, "so hot". Not to mention, there was only like one girl I actually felt entertained by, through out what I played, and where the story was going with her was probably my main interest, which I guess I'll never know now.

Honestly, if it was more like LiL then I'd probably had liked it more. It felt like almost the opposite in retrospect.

Edit: This was one of my only comments in that game's thread:

So, am I playing the game wrong or

I was hoping for something like Lessons in Love, but this game is more or less The Hana to LIL's Chinaka if you get what I mean. I also did not do Hana's route apparently, (First play through so far) so that is the version of the characters I'm referring to. Of course, I could have just made a bunch of wrong choices so if that's the case, feel free to enlighten me on what choices I should have chosen.

Could have probably been nicer, lmao.

The game really just rubbed me the wrong way, I guess.

 

[Bingoogus]

Kinda wishing you guys would take the SO discussion elsewhere, i have to deal with knowing i gave money to that piece of shit several times, i really really liked that game up until the last transfer-reset-fusion thing but now i don't even want to be reminded of it, cleaned all files from it off of my computer and deleted the links. I just want to forget it existed.

Works with me, and speaking of forgetting, which kind of Sensei are you all rooting for?

The one that Sensei is becoming, where he can't help but share his "feelings". The one that loves Niki:

Or the one who considers that version of himself, not him. The one that Nodoka loves:

i say it be this version where he cant help but share his feelings because to me what make Sensei an intressting character is has much has he is a asshole and a terrble person he is still human and his limits and lines he wont cross. e.g the molly thing really messed him up because he throught that would be a line he never cross. so seeing him talk more about his feelings and seeing a more human side to him is something i what to see. i also think this version will be the best way to flesh out his character

 

[Bingoogus]

which kind of Sensei are you all rooting for?

Honestly, none, it's the journey for me, not the destination, i want to see what happens to him no matter which way things go, it's a very interesting exploration of a mentally broken person that you just can't really get in any other format, at least none i've experienced, not to this depth.

Since Kaori really is bringing Nao-chan around and having her and herself participating in things with the girls, I wonder what the eventual encounter would be when Nao-chan meets Maya.


Would Maya freak out because of Nao-chan’s eyes/her existence as a whole because she knows more that she lets on?

Would Nao-chan “ignore” Maya like her heterochromic mother did? Or was that puzzling encounter between Maya and Kaori less about having strange eyes and simply more about Sekai’s influence on Kaori?

Or would there be some immediate consequences as soon as Nao-chan sees Maya? (getting this horrifying feeling due to the presence of Egg of the Perfect World)

Whichever one hurts the girls the least by the end. Not taking the past into account, I've already accepted they will get hurt eventually, the question is really when, not if. I do have to wonder if we've seen everything all of his sides have to offer, perhaps they all have something bad about them, a sort of trade off that we would have to accept to get the good parts of a specific side. For example, the third has the issue of not treating the girls right, which would be considered a bad part of that side of Sensei. While I can't actually name any good parts to the third off the top of my head, an example of a good part would be the emotional openness of the currently shown side of Sensei.

I do have a very bad feeling we will be seeing that third side again one of these days, the biggest question there is who is getting hurt this time.

I'm going with that last one as well, the egg is giving me a very bad feeling. Where that thing appears, what comes next cannot possibly be good.

I imagine that Nao-chan would gain her voice only to start berating Maya. Or I guess gesturing "I'll decapitate you". That will work too.

I suppose a "good" part of Callous Sensei might be more sex scenes, with little limits, for those who want them. That's about all I can think of though.

Also, I'm thinking it'll be Rin being the next to be hurt. Feels like there is a lot of danger flags on her. Could be wrong though, and she'll be saved for later.

I'm really hoping Nao-chan isn't some lovecraftian horror like Sensei seemed to hint at:

Albeit, she has seemed to casually win over virtually everyone she's come across besides Molly, after like one meeting. Ami, Chika, and Tsuneyo have all fallen to her "Cute Girl Magic". Even Sensei, and of course Kaori.

Why Sensei hasn't mentioned the suspicious girl with suspicious eyes to Maya or Ayane yet, is something suspicious though. Even Ami was questioning her eyes:

Does anyone have a save for right after the 4th reset? I cant be asked to grind all the affection points...

All I know is that I'll be disappointed if this next update doesn't start actively progressing the story. I like the hints of something happening coming up, but there's only so long you can tease something. I don't need everything all at once, but I DO think we're deserving of SOME forward movement of the story, now. No sideways business where more confusing things get thrown in; a solid, concrete step forward in the plot would be great.

At least we got an explanation for Miku's mental state.
No more questioning if she and her parents had been part of the Sekai car crash.
I wonder if Sel did it because it was time, or, if he did it to calm people down, who were unsatisfied with important plot progression.
While i think the revelation was a bit underwhelming, i'm glad that we can strike that one off from the theories list.

Considering the cast has seemingly been filled, Sekai has been restored, Sensei has learned his name and to care, Ayane has met the Shapeshifter, and Maya's true feelings have been revealed, etc, I'd definitely be surprised if things don't start moving forward. The groundwork seems to have been laid out in virtually every way I can think of, and now the plot can really start.

Like Nao mentioned during the last reset:

Did someone mention that Nao-Chan not speaking, in any relation to Futaba's horror story towns people, who also don't speak?
And while i don't see an relation yet, the similarity is there.

Don't recall, but that is interesting, and considering Futaba's apparent relation to The Upside Down House and how Sensei seemed to see "familiar eyes" from a viewing of it:

That could definitely be something to keep in mind.
