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

[Budoop]

Oh don’t get me wrong, I understand your point and agree with it. I was just responding to the question on how people were able to find the game. My case was pure coincidence.

Searched games by tags on this site, found this one.
I actually played VERY close to it's initial release, back when Ayane could be rejected in the bathroom. Found no animations as the tags implied and put it down for like a year before "checking back in" to see if that had changed.

While it definitely did, I can't say I was expecting what I got but the characters are just so good I had to stick around. I quit for a second time after the Molly halloween incident cause I couldn't handle it and found out that it was unavoidable, got a girlfriend shortly after so didnt touch the game again for several years before picking it back up like two weeks ago when the guide mod came out for 0.44 (Cause I did the original resets myself and fuck doing that again).

Really wonder where the game will go from here though, I remember Selebus on this thread saying the "harem" route was going to be the game we're playing now, also known as the "dark route" and that we'd get better endings with the girls after that but I see things have changed from such, and the dark route is apparently now Chap 5 - 10. Can only imagine how much worse things are going to get lmao.

final harem route is chapter 5, dark route is chapter 6 (also the shortest of them), from then on is purity routes and eventually the true end.

Edit: If we already have ntr and murder on chapter 4 though, I can only imagine what will happen in the dark route. And I do have my doubts if anything will be able to top "stomachache".

Oh thats a fucking relief, I really wanna see true routes, the girls deserve the happiness. Then again, Selebus might make those routes horrible too.

Welp since Sel's most recent cash grab is dead in the water I have used my pervert brain to conjure up a hypothetical new cash grab (that Sel may never see). I think Sel should try what-if h-scenes for previous existing situations next. Since we had to go back to a previous save to get the Alexis event I see no problem go back to for something more fulfilling. Like for instance what if Sel went in and did Wakana joining Niki and Sensei during 0.33 or Haruka actually seducing Molly in 0.40. If the stretch goal is reached he could go in and add those scenes. And he could obviously milk the more desired what if's for more money.

wait the cashgrab ended up being taken to the back of the ranch? btw what was that cashgrab project he was working on?

Sel's latest cash grab/stretch goal we're the custom animations. They did well when he first introduced them but now his income has gone back to being stagnant and we haven't got anymore.

Addon: Sel actually has lost money between now and the most recent animation. The goal for Touka and Yasu was $10,500 now he's sitting at $9,914.

good, that would give him more time to get rid of otoha

Still catching up on the latest few updates, have yet to see any NTR (though I suspect I know where that's headed) or murder, but since someone mentioned that scene, I'm morbidly curious...at the beginning of the newest Halloween party section, there's a scene where Io and Sensei talk about how he dealt with that whole breakdown she had, and it's kinda heartwarming. By Chapter 4 standards at least. But I can't help but wonder what happens if you took the "Stomachache" route there. Is it a missed scene, or does it somehow rub in the awfulness even more?

And as a side note, while I totally get it, is anyone else starting to find perpetual sadsack Akira a bit boring? Maybe it's just the pace of the recent updates, but it's starting to drag a bit IMO.

Okay, for everybody that wants to see this elusive 0.45 Alexisthymia Happy event.

Everybody who is a regular knows that Selebus is a cunt, so he took it on himself to make sure "cheating" becomes way more difficult. Most imported save files don't work as they get corrupted so the "easy" way to see it is through URM.

PLEASE, if you are going to see this event, do it from either this SAVE file, any save that works or just getting there manually, AS LONG as you get there through the mall itself. Do NOT try to flag the event through URM.

BEFORE you put this file in your saves folder, make sure to make a BACKUP of your save folder as always.

Once you are inside the save file, all you have to do is click FORWARD and the event has already begun. You are free to roam around the mall before or after you're done with the happy event if you want to.

AFTER the event is over, make sure you SAVE again and leave this file in your game, make sure to ALWAYS have a Mall save.

I am not the god of save files, but I will always be available to provide a clean green route full save at the end of every update if someone fucks up.

//////////////////////AND GIVE AYANE SOME LOVE
//////////////////////I'VE BEEN GIVING TOO MANY HINTS

and if for some reason this save file doesnt work for you either just let me know



Edit: Oh, and this goes without saying, if you don't see Alexis is because you didn't unlock the event yet in chapter 4 update 0.45 (just specifying for future audiences)

May I ask how your meant to extract the file? Because when I did it turn the entire save file into a folder with a couple separate files contained in it.

You're supposed to download the save file, then put it inside the Saves folder, that's it

When I download it's automatically a zip file, so when I put in my save folder it didn't do anything

Extract the file from the ZIP?

Still not working when I reload the entire the game the save files for it isn't present in the loading section

After rechecking it I found this that the file does exist however when I click on it, it gave this response

Oh, that looks like a file type association issue, something's reading the Ren'Py .save file as a compressed archive (which it technically is).

I used a win7 zip extractor on my PC, then I manually transferred it into the save file and it still was a file folder instead of a save file

There's your problem. In this case my previous advice is actually totally wrong. Download the .save file and drop it in the "saves" folder as-is with the .save extension.

I went through the variations and overall thoughts about the "stomachache" choice in this post. Click on it to jump to it.

I would like to again make the point that there is no rape in "stomachache", other than the rape that would exist in every student's scene. Furthermore, imo, "stomachache" is one of the best if not the best/worst event in LiL. If ever there was a reason for LiL to delve into the topics it does, it was to have scenes like that. It's painfully realistic, complicated and it makes people feel horrible.

I'm not going to go through every detail from both of the variations, but since Akira's intent was obvious insofar as he went through the trauma of emulating Sekai, here's Io's counterpart:

I'm not saying Akira couldn't have come to this realisation he should walk out, based on what he went through, it just doesn't feel organic to me. It's like somehow I got a glimpse of the Akira from one entire season in the future just showing up for "stomachache" and leaving Io alone. What's the inciting event for him learning that his way of loving is wrong if not "stomachache" itself?

look at this and try to convince yourself if this doesn't read exactly like a dlc for LiL meant to make you get the happy scenes you couldn't in the base game:

This is so close to giving me diabetes that it is basically fanfiction at this point.

Edit: just want to reiterate that I get choosing red path for this one, not judging anyone for it. And I also get that people might need some sort of manifested agency of leading things in a better and healthier direction. My intent was just to point out that Io's probably going to have sex with Akira regardless, and that I think the writing for the red path is worse and makes less sense (as usual).

my brother I don't know what you're doing but 7Z or Zip or whatever program is absolutely not needed here.

All you need to do is download the save file, then move it in the saves folder, just like that.

I'm an idiot sorry guys, what I did was I download the file from my phone.... which for some reason turn it into a zip file....

Thank you very much for the advice I wanna weep in the corner of my room now

Cheers

Huh, I'll be damned, it's actually not horrible. Still not going back and changing that decision because eugh no, but it's interesting to see how little it really changes. Though I shouldn't be overly surprised at that, like Bingoogus said a few posts down from yours, choice really is an illusion in this game. Other than some missable lust scenes, it seems like the most consequential option is whether or not to take the incest route with Ami.

 

[Budoop]

Funny you mention that cause im on the no ami route right now and even then it forces you during one of the events, you just miss a lot of them.

Reality is its a dark game that you view through the eyes of a broken man, maybe things will get better, but not yet.
