Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.46.0] [Selebus]

[crustlord12]

Good update. There's been a lot of exposition and character growth per update and the beach/dorm event feels like some big things are going to come to a head. Has he mentioned he's going to take any time off after that release? I feel like if he is intending on taking a longer gap between it and the following release, there'll be some significant bombshells being dropped.

wait, which event had that image in it? i must have zoned tf out during it

'Second Sun' Happy Event.

 

[TheLarceny]

Sensei and the Love Squad. Stay tuned for more.

Nice
I was looking for girls kk cards but I cant find any of them

 

[Mori Enjoyer]

was wondering has it been confirmed/alluded that people will die/killed or is it just speculation from the community? Other than the game technically dropping yandere dialogue from Ami and stuff. (im not in any discord just here in the forums)

a situation i can see this happening is that Touka mentioning she had a private island to where she spent summer and swimming lessons where she can invite the class to spend a couple days at. (similar to the tv show, LOST) idk if the island is within the barrier of kumon mii

also kumon mii sounds like cum/coom on me o7

I mean, It's not impossible that she'll show up later in Io's story. Io's aunt just likely won't play a notable part, and it might be more of a Chiaki or Shapeshifter situation.

Also is this where Sel was hiding the Amazon woman? Osako is likely ripped, but a girl that is around 6'2, would be interesting.

I guess what I had in mind is too greedy, Sensei and Io's aunt mingling while both wearing that outfit, what a wonderous sight.

Also, those PJs are pimptastic. Lends strong weight to "Io was prostituted by her aunt" theories.

Was she really? It's pretty certain that at least one of Io's parent was the source of her unrevealed trauma, but I thought Io's aunt wasn't a part of anything malicious.

If her aunt really was involved in something bad, I doubt Io would still work and sometimes live at the bathhouse, let alone use that pimp suit to dress unconscious Sensei and get her funny bone tickled.
I mean if I got child prostituted and had to do any of the things above in my abuser's domain, I'd start vomiting in half a second (but I am not Io so yea I can't speak for this ultra complicated girl)

Plus, for someone like Uta who likely knows everything about Io's background, Uta doesn't seem to have any opinion with Io working at the bathhouse, so I'd say for now Io's aunt is clean (but of course this is assuming Uta knows everything there is to know)

It was thrown out as a theory some time ago, but I don't think anybody took it seriously, mostly for all the reasons you point out. I just dug it out for the joke about the PJs.

The simple answer is yes, death is virtually guaranteed in this game.

There's been a couple things that have demonstrated that dying is just something that's going to happen, and already has happened. Some background characters have already been confirmed dead.

When it comes to more important characters though, one main character has seemingly already been murdered:

Depending on how you view death though, most characters have died multiple times already, including the main character:

Some characters have been murdered, others have committed suicide, and some seem to be on their death beds, simply kept alive by outside forces.

There's also plenty of hints that things will get worse from here on out.

Sensei wouldn't care about punishing her for that. In fact, despite his character growth he's still despicable enough to encourage it. Regardless she is screwed, a fake love confession will easily shift into a real one, possibly in front of another student chaperoning them.

I think Noriko just knows how to stay cool in the classroom, but breaks the act when suddenly faced with talking to him alone. I'm also surprised she didn't freak out at that line.

C'mon, he's just misunderstood, all he wants are some friends. Just give him a hug, it'll be fine.

Otoha is definitely on my list when it comes to those I'd use as meat shields. Don't fuck with my homie. Sensei is likely at the top of said list though.

Noriko is still freaked out by Ami even on the "Good Uncle" route, so school Noriko is likely just an example of her sacrificing for others. Pretending like she's okay so as not to bother anyone. I do wonder if Kirin might know though.

Also, The Old One is cute, whatchu talking about. He just wants friends.

Seriously though, Nope-Maya is the only thing that creeped me out in this update. Amy and The Old One didn't really do it for me I guess. I'm kind of jealous that he didn't creep me out.

So, is anyone else a little confused by how Ami and Maya are acting after 'All for you'? Where Maya reveals the Psycho Ami stuff.

Ayane makes sense:

Spoiler

Of course she's scared, she thinks Ami has butchered and sodomized the shit out of previous versions of her.

Maya on the other hand immediately confronts Ami, who might be going violent, and makes sure Ami knows that her best friend is pissed:

and Ami, who might be going violent to keep the illusion of her perfect life, suddenly gives Sensei space:

Then there's how both Maya's and Ami's stories don't really make sense. Why would Ami want to meet Maya and Ayane at the shrine?:

Ami, I can see being desperate due to feeling left out and not exactly thinking things through, but Maya should know meeting at the shrine doesn't make much sense, when Maya isn't even working there, especially in the middle of the night.

There's also how Ami seems to think she's being excluded:

Yet Ayane seems to imply it's the other way around:

Unless Ami is smarter, and Maya is dumber (Or perhaps the other way around?), than I thought they were, something isn't adding up.

Also, possibly irrelevant, but why does the 'From the desk of the Ninth god' chapter 3 main event have a path that leads to a very old event?

The 'Walk in the park' main event from way back in Chapter 1, of all things. This appears after Ami asks Sensei for a "favor" and then that error thing apparently cuts off the event. Is this meant to be here or does my version have false memories?

Let's be realistic Rin will probably find the whole thing really hot instead of getting angry about it

Well, we need to know more about them to be sure, Ami and Maya's true nature and how they operate is still an enigma. And we are being still left in the dark by Selebus, I want to believe Ayane asked some pertinent questions after receiving that information.

Honestly, I believe Ami is "triggered" by now, she's just not acting like an irrational psycho like we thought at first, quite the contrary. I found her really suspicious this update: the way she confronted Ayane and how she put Maya on the spot twice, first pushing the issue of why she can't go to the old district and then accusing Maya of being a sneaky hugger.

But what really does it for me is how out of character (and creepy) she was in accepting to give Sensei more space. I mean, compare it to how she reacted in the previous update:

Spoiler

Why the sudden change of heart? She didn't have a serious fight with Sensei to reconsider it like that. He was actually feeding off her hand the night before. And a little reprimand for how she was treating her friends is not nearly enough imo. We'll see I guess.

By the way, that flag you are mentioning doesn't appear in my replay, so no idea what it means.

 

[Bingoogus]

I saw the same thing but figured it was a troll from selly meant to trip up folks like us who tear the game apart every update, it made literally zero sense and rewatching it connected in no way so yeah, just took it for Selly trying to fuck with us.

 

[FireCazador]

Well, i just finished this update and now i feel empty xd, time to wait 1 month again. I feel like the stories are expanding everywhere but dont reach an end, like there are a few things with no answers like we have the car accident, noriko-maya past with Akira (also maya's past itself), the 3 Gods who we know things but there are a lot more we dont know, Miku's trauma, Io's trauma, Uta's trauma... (well, most of the traumas the girls have) And probably more things that i cant remember or i have forgoten. Also the recents new adds like Nodoka aparently knowing Akira's name, Yasu's extrange past with that conection with "God".
I feel like they keep growing but nothing ends but the main story keeps going on without stoping.

 

[Bingoogus]

Lends strong weight to "Io was prostituted by her aunt" theories.

I doubt it was being pimped out by any person really, remember her aversion is to sex and women, not men, who ever heard of a prostitution ring servicing only women with young girls... i'm still thinking she was raped for years by her mother.

No compress version?

Most doubts here unfortunately can only be answered if we knew the content of that phone call between Ami and Maya.

We can for now assume that “something happened” and led to the two girls trying to rendezvous at two locations, and this “something” wasn’t just mere misunderstanding between friends.

So if this “something” is one of the supernatural interventions, what are the odds of it exploiting this strained friendship to lure both girls out in the middle of the night?
Ex: Ami “was asked by Maya” to come to the old district or Ayane and Maya will keep excluding her; Maya “was told by Ami” to meet up at the shrine because Ami had enough with being excluded and wanted to have a serious talk.
The excuses are infinite, and I’d say teenager girls will fall for most, if not, all of them, and get lured out if friendship is at stake.

As for the aftermath, Maya was simply pissed, but perhaps also a little cautious because she suspected Ami’s psychotic side might’ve been triggered; and Ayane was just scared. Ami was on a similar boat to Maya, but the only eerie part to me was her quickly agreeing to give Sensei more space after the hassle (omitting the teensy part for now as there is no way to learn anything about it)
Perhaps it is one of those “you know what do whatever you want” kind of response once you get so upset, or perhaps psycho Ami really has been triggered, and it’s too hard to make sense out of a yandere.

Maya dragged Ayane out to the shrine because of a perceived sense of urgency.

Spoiler

I suspect what happened is that Ami invented an emergency that required Maya to bring Ayane to the shrine to get them out of the dorms (and likely away from wherever Akira is), went out to the old district on her own accord, then called Akira pretending to be lost and in need of rescue in an attempt to drive a wedge between him and the girls.

Maya doesn't yet know that Ami's flipped. She speaks of it as a possibility, not a thing that's currently true, and she doesn't yet know about Makoto telling Ami about the resets. And Ami's been pretty transparent about being hurt by the fact that it seems like the two are pusing her away, so Normal Ami with her yandere tendencies might pull something like this as a way of lashing out, so Maya's gonna Maya, not realizing the danger.

Ami agreeing to give Akira space is a ploy. After all, you don't hover right on someone's butt if you're gonna tail them. You give them space to make them not realize they're being watched. She's totally going to find out where he's going and who he's spending time with so that she knows who to target first.

Ami isn't book smart, but she was born to two manipulators and raised by a third. She's crafty. And if the Psycho switch HAS flipped, as I suspect, then she's in info-gathering mode right now.

Edit: Also, I want to point out that Maya was wholly justified in not telling Ayane about Psycho Ami. Look at her in that scene. She's now TERRIFIED of Ami. Girl has no poker face.

Actually, this kind of begs the question, does Psycho Ami even need to tail Sensei? Real Ami knows how to break his mind temporarily and he can't seem to help spilling his thoughts out. Psycho Ami has apparently broken Sensei in the past, so temporarily breaking his mind shouldn't be a big deal.

Psycho Ami: "Sekai."
Sensei: *Mind broken*
Psycho Ami: "Who you fuckin?"
Mind broken Sensei: *Thinks out loud about all the sex he's been having, and with who, and how tight their pussies are, how broken they are, what birds they remind him of, etc*

Maybe Psycho Ami already knows everything after that night they spent together, and just needs time to plan things out.
