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

[barglenarglezous]

How are the sex scenes in this game? Are they all animated? How many are just slide shows? I don't mind a bit of story if the sex pays off well.

Whenever sex happens as part of the story, it will be a static, non-animated scene. That will often (but not always) unlock a repeatable animation that you can view by visiting that character later, but every animation in the game is optional and not part of the story (but doing them grinds a secondary stat that determines if certain sex scenes play out later in the story)

They're very much an afterthought compared to the story.

You don't endure the story for sex scenes in this game. The scenes doesn't worth it.

You endure sex scenes because story pays of well.

edit: oops included some unfinished post!


Always here to provide the most unassuming and unexciting answer, which is I don't think the white cat currently has a significant meaning until its direct participation in the future events proves me wrong.

Adding a cat in the scene is a conscious choice yes; but all events function without it, and there are more than one scenario where inserting supernatural meaning due to its presence is outright unnecessary. I could extend my pass even to Dyed Orange, Drenched in Sun under some unprovable hypotheses like "something has been watching Sensei via the white cat", but that to me didn't work well with Forty Degrees Below Zero where Karin scooped the cat and ran off happily if you lied to her. Events like these that are very slice-of-life-ish hold me back and have me thinking, "yea that's probably just a cat".

edit2: similar feeling goes to Io's mummified cat and a slew of "cat props" in The Light of the Last Summer. If I can't explain the meaning behind or the potential causality in between, it'd be regarded as nonsignificant.

How dare you put forward the possibility that everything in the game hasn't been well thought out and has a deeper meaning! How dare you, Sir Fds as Df from under P!

First, thanks for solving the mystery. Second, what I get from this is pure and simple that Selebus messed up.

Miku's scene is blatantly supposed to come way earlier in the story, and at the very least before Stomachache.

That he was planning it since the first season is another clear indicator that it was probably thought out before Io was even a thing. He missed his timing and then worried about it without realising that the "shock" of this scene barely matters with everything that has happened since.

This might also, now that I think about it, be the real event that was supposed to happen when Miku has an episode while being fingered by Akira. It is very similar with Makoto rushing in to help in her bedroom, and the follow-up should be exactly the same as Miku is concerned.

In retrospect, kind of uninspired to make both of them so similar too.

Update complete. I am in awe--You guys are all super fast with the analysis. I already gave some Chika thoughts but there's a lot of things happening here.

a bit of story

Who's gonna tell him?


I have to concur with basically all points made (I benevolently distributed my likes to the best posts and theories, you are welcome my children) and also think that the update felt a lot like an episode 8 in a 10 episodes season of a drama series. As in: set-up, set-up, set-up for the grand finale. It seemed over quickly, despite taking my time.

I still wouldn't say I'm disappointed though. What I appreciated the most were the thrown-in wholesome moments, like Wakana opening up and hugging Akira, Miku being really cute and understanding and Akira appreciating here even more because of that, Chinami being cute as always (I missed the second event though on account of being a little bitch ass coward previously), Sara-Akira-Yuki friendship strengthening, Sana trying to catch up with her knife boy ghost brother and Osako finally growing a backbone and becoming a more interesting character and being real cute, especially when Akira ruffles her hair.

What I appreciated even more though was the humor, pretty solid consistency in terms of good gags and funny situations.

Oh wow, is that Haruhi Suzumaya? I actually love that lol.

Also "remember to smile". Seeing this after playing both dissonance and lost in you...and seeing the stories, imagine all 3 games crossed over somehow. I could see it happening giving the slipping, travelling to different worlds, and Gods

Chinami being cute as always (I missed the second event though on account of being a little bitch ass coward previously)

I hate it when I'm a previously

I actually red lined Chinamis last event, and I'm not going to have an opportunity to URM it any time soon. Can anyone hit me with a spoiler of what it was?

You know, Mooney's post just now reminded me, i've been meaning to comment, i've seen a number of people talk about how Akira was scared he wouldn't be able to resist the forbidden fruit like he just has an impulse control problem. No, his fear comes from the blackouts, he's terrified if he is left in a room with a vulnerable girl he'll blackout and the supernatural fuckery will take over and force him to rape them. Given he has a history of this i think that it's more than fair to be scared, it's not just a simple case of it being hard to resist once aroused, dude has had literal demons controlling him in similar situations in the past. I'm rambling, just wanted to point out what it seemed like other's might not be considering when viewing his behaviour in that scene.

Extremely good point. I had overlooked it myself. Thank you.

 

[lttesch]

Was good to see how the Chinami event played out, but I am dreading the consequences for Tsukasa in "Failsafe".

 

[Dc345]

Well it looks like the next possible threesome will be Chika and Ami. One riding Sensei's dick the other his face while they stare into each other's wondering about all the ways they'd murder one another. And sensei is just there because they probably yelled at him and it made him horny and scared.

Sel was worried about Miku. I agree about Tsubasa. I literally cringed at the thought of paying for a Touka x Yasu scene and getting that. I already didn't like the Rin x Sana one, but this one was just, seriously? I get that I don't have I say since I didn't pay for it, but the fact that it's free content and I can't get myself to watch anyway says a lot.

Osako is a cutie and behaving like an actual adult now. Who knew I'd start giving her a chance. The general opinion agrees with you on 0.43 as a whole, it ranges from an okay update to mediocre.
