Oh is it called "test2"? I tried searching there for "LessonsInLove" and found nothing but an old post in late 2020 mentions something like test1 or test2 being the old folder name for some reason.
There are two places the saves are stored: the Lessons in Love folder \game\saves, and, as rightsaidfred said, \Users\[Your username]\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\Test2-1577602671. The most important thing to delete for your purposes is the file labeled "persistent", because that's where stuff like "what text you've seen" is stored.
Oh yeah! you are right, i remember Selebus said why it's test2.. it's probably somewhere in this thread.
Okay so the problem was that I needed to delete both roaming *and* the saves. I downloaded the recent update and loaded the game so it must have copied my files into the save file from roaming and just began using that instead. Deleting both sets of saves and persist files fixed this. Thanks fellas.
If you guys want a quick path to your saves just press the Windows Key+R and type "%AppData%" (without the quote marks).
Ouh, I like this one. The thing is, however, while it does seem like he's going through cycles of development, it is also implied that there are layers to him. At times it almost seem like he larps the whole "i'm basically a newborn" thing or that he has a "higher" level of consciousness that he connects with sometimes (or tries not to connect to, to avoid unpleasant memories and awareness). I don't know what to make of that.
Adding to this, you could actually just start a new game and overwrite the old save to avoid the hassle of tracking down the main save folder, which is different per OS. Nothing carries over between saves except that you've read some text in a previous run of the game, so overwriting will take care of anything the old save had except the detection of read text.
I also believe these other Senseis poking out to be when he starts showing a more caring side, that it isn't player Sensei showing that, but remnants of previous ones including oold Sensei, the one the girls know. Either that or a ruse to help the girls drop their guard. I am more inclined to believe the latter for now given how he easily flip flops between the two, a good example being the difference between when he was helping Yumi out to find a job and when he was coercing Miku. I am more inclined to believe being nice to Yumi was a ruse and that coercing Miku was the real personality of player Sensei, but it is entirely possible that it was one of the previous Senseis helping Yumi and not player Sensei while player Sensei was the one to coerce Miku, not the previous Senseis.
Are those actually versions of himself, though? I always thought that those were other "people", ones that seem to hang in the ether and take over Sensei's vacant body in previous cycles.
Usually, when one of the other entities (HOPE, the wire god, etc) are speaking, it's pretty clear. The Wire God is usually associated with user/login text, for example, HOPE is usually somehow visible on screen, etc.
Yes, this, but, I'm talking about previous iterations of Sensei. I always thought that it wasn't him at all. According to Yasu, people that die continue to hang around and we seem to start to actually see some of them. One of them is Ami's mother. So I thought that there a rotation of souls going on and they take over Sensei's body and go as "far" as they can through cycles. Now it's a real Sensei's turn.
Was there actually an OG Sensei-exemplary-teacher? I kinda lean towards an idea that he was specifically put in this role for whatever reason (he always liked teaching, according to Nikki), instead of studying to become a teaching by himself. At least that's the impression I got when Maya confessed that she was the one who wrote his observation journal and then later said that other girls simple adapt to new Senseim not unlike computer programs (or machines, I forgot the exact wording).
That's definitely an explanation for the shadow figures during the beach update, but I'm not sure there's any evidence of ghostly posession/manipulation just yet. But I fully acknowledge that I might have forgotten considering how much there is and how long it's been running. Do you recall specific examples?
I mean, call it possession, but I'm not touching the exact nature of their world or the fact that there is something supernatural going on in the first place. For what we know, it's all just a fever dream of suicide victim, slowly dying in hospital bed. Or rotation of "souls" is a feature of Matrix they are currently in (assuming it's simulation).
Well, we don't actually see those examples, as they occurred in previous cycles, before the start of LiL.
To expand on this point: maybe it's not even important in grand scheme of things who will "wear" Sensei to reach whatever it is the end goal is.
Right. Again -- we're forming a personality on a newly blanked slate.
The prevailing theory is that Maya is trying to bring the OG Sensei back, and that she's been doing this for a LOOOONG time.
That's what I thought was going on until "A Place That Can Only Exist in Our Minds" event that changed my perspective.
That's exactly what i think, but i don't know how exactly this is tied to the whole USER plot point, there have been fourth wall breaks that have implied there's a distinction between us players and Sensei.
