He could, but that would defeat the stated purpose of development, which if I rememer correctly was to develop what he wants, not what we want. To let us drive the narrative would change that to developing what we want, not to mention how it might ruin things as then the Denpa opposed players, that means playerss who don't like the 'happy' events and other things that play into the Denpa genre, like Sensei being as he started to become at the start of the game or Rin acting like she did recently, might jump on the chance to get rid of future instances of the Denpa aspects, which in a Denpa game is a VERY bad thing. Familiar characters acting in familiar ways is the exact opposite of Denpa and quite a few people seem to be opposed to familiar characters acting in unfamiliar ways due to it being 'out of character' or something like that. Yes, it's out of character, intentionally so.

like I said, he could, not that he should, or that he is.
the real question has selebus hit it big enough to sell out yet like everything else I have ever enjoyed
Counterpoint: I doubt anyone writing 15-page essays re:LiL is one of said group of players.
I don't think there is a point where he would sell off, it is a passion project after all.
I doubt that as well, but read the thread and you'll see what I mean as there are multiple occasions of comments asking to be able to skip the 'happy' scenes despite those being important and there were some who complained at how Rin handled the Molly thing, which wasn't exactly out of character given her depression, but could also be considered a Denpa moment of a familiar character acting in an unfamiliar way, granted a lot of those would not be eligible to drive the narrative. Patrons like me would be because we pay for it, not necessarily the tier I'm at, but in general. However, I don't see Selebus listening to people who don't support the game monetarily on narrative decisions, especially ones whose views go against his own, such as the people who dislike the 'happy' events.
The thing is, if he does decide to let the players drive the narrative, that comes with the caveat that he can't shut every idea down without discontinuing the player driven narrative idea. He has the power to say no to some extent still, but once he makes that decision and it takes effect, he has to let the players who have this privilege get something out of it even if that means no more Denpa elements being the sacrifice.
He does have to be careful here, that's all I'm saying. A decision like this does have the power to kill the game as far as funding, though as I've said in the past, I doubt he'll stop entirely if funding dries up, he may just make it private for his eyes only, but passion projects rarely die completely because other people stop funding them.

I thought she follows HOPE, considering his face appeared on her during the Beach Event, when she/HOPE turned the day into night.
So, technically, the Sensei we have right now could be the original Sensei who had something to do with Maya (Due to her stating, that he's the most similar so far). The previous Sensei seemed to be one that actually taught his students with the accepted distance (Last Name Basis), which could be the Sensei from before Maya, which would be from his time as a tutor and Niki's boyfriend.
If we assume that Sensei has Split Personalities from "The Accident", which may or may not tie into Kaori, then the resets are there to benefit him into becoming a mentally healthy person again. The Teacher Sensei may have been close to it, but the events of Baby Flinches show that he couldn't accept it, and proceeded to jump, which might have caused a "True Reset" and brought Player Sensei into play, which is the Sensei Maya personally knew.
Someone probably said all this already and I'm just repeating it, but if not, then tada.
I had considered writing a "BELL" (Besondere Lernleistung) about LiL, which would tie in into my Abitur, but I'm not sure how that would have fared.
Anyone here one of those people and want to publicize their analysis? Would be interesting to read while commuting.

As "bad" as it is here, NOTHING beats the "Being a DIK" thread as far as I can tell. I have my preferences set for 100 posts per page and this thread is 111 pages so far on my browser; roughly 11,100 posts. the B.A.D. thread is 1523 pages long; roughly 152,300 posts. Some of the "analysis" that goes on there boggles the mind. I'm sometimes surprised that the Flying Dutchman and the kidnapping of the Lindberg baby don't show up in some of the theories there. 
About last update.. Is it normal that the last Rin event is crossed? Is this a consequence of having the love life, let go event crossed or is did I mess up something else?
If something is crossed out, a decision you made has effectively blocked that event's path.
Yeah I was wondering if it was still the same decision that blocked the "love life, let go" event or some other one

Should be the same, as her dialogue in the new crossed out event indicates her trusting you because you weren't a bad homie.
Not that I remember, I could have sworn she was a follower of Wire Tree. HOPE's face appearing on anyone is really just typical HOPE antics. He's appeared on multiple characters at this point, some of which likely don't even know he exists even as a deity to be worshiped that may or may not be real to their world in their eyes.
Yes, according to my theory, ALL Senseis are the original, but they have been split by something into multiple different personalities that may or may not share memories with the original personality, such as player Sensei, the one who is focused on getting laid and who has been shown not to share memories from old Sensei, the original personality. I hadn't thought about how Kaori or the resets fit into this theory, but you're right considering what has been said by Maya and others, the resets could be an attempt to cure him and Kaori definitely seems involved somewhere, even if currently unwittingly. I do not think Maya knew player Sensei since that is the personality we play as and that's the one that gets told he isn't the correct one or something like that by Maya herself. Unless, of course, you're suggesting his personality shifted around that point into the one we saw and that player Sensei was in fact the real original.
I do not believe this to be further consequences of being a bad homie, no. I can't say for sure as my save doesn't have it crossed out. I couldn't bring myself to stab her in the back like that once she requested I let her have a chance at Chika.
And this is why, because the dialogue specifically comes across as if we are on the good homie path. This also doesn't sound like a missing flag issue like I reported to Selebus the other day with " All That is Contaminated." This one happens this way no matter what, indicating it is meant to.

What do you mean by "previous"? So far we know of OG Sensei (before time loops and resets), Senseis from resets before start of LiL (which ppl seems to consider the same dude, just incomplete) and current Sensei.
Also, wasn't he tutoring Maya and being Niki's boyfriend in the same time frame?
I still don't get why are you so adamant about viewing them as personalities, rather than entirely different people. ALL the dialogue from Maya suggest that THIS Sensei has an entirely different quality to him and is viewed by her as a totally different from other Senseis person. What we know from Yasu about "dead people floating in the ether" + constant emphasis on "you're back in your body"...there isn't much room for other interpretations, is there?
Idk I still can’t figure out what the port number is

That must be due to confusing and pretentious writing an overabundance of grind. Why still no walkthrough?

Check if the event has been crossed out in the event list; if it hasn't been crossed out try calling her on each day of the week; if that still doesn't work then I don't know what's going on.
All I had to do was call her at night.
