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

[fdsasdf_p]

I've got a question for any foot connoisseurs out there. Do we know whose shoes these are?

This is from "Caterpillar", the Chapter 2 main event where Io introduces herself to the class. The narrator references something like "your cubby at the back of the room", so it could tell us something about the narrator if we knew who the stuff belongs to.

My take on this isn't very in-universe or exciting, as I think this is one of those times that Selly wanted to tell a story he might resonate or had experienced, and couldn't help having himself inserted into the narration.

The "your cubby at the back of the room" is only used metaphorically, meaning an incognito spot in the room Io wished to remain, and not literally. In essence, this makes the random objects in the cabby lose whatever meaning they might have. Besides, having slippers there is inappropriate in terms of both culture and weather. It still shouldn't be there whether it's in fact a pair of guest slippers or one of those meant for teachers.

It should be safe to say it's not from any of the girls, but I think the chance of it being some random koikatsu prop is a lot higher than it belonging to one of many mysterious narrators.

It does feel like sometimes we put a little too much value into things being intentional instead of Sel making a mistake or as you said, the limitations of the engine he's using.

Funny enough but when Chika does it, it is the barking. (Or wolf acting, whatever, it's been a while since I've seen the scene)

Oh god, right. Both sister are furries. I completely forgot about that. What a way to start the wait for the new update.

I'm pretty vanilla myself but I don't cry about any of the fetish content. I just click through it if it isn't working for me. Been seeing some VNs that feature watersports lately and it's really not my thing but I'm not gonna throw a tantrum about it.

I actually think the anti-NTR crowd are usually the loudest and more annoying of the bunch. Like I get that people are really into the self-insert but some of these guys would cry about Rin getting fingered by Otoha as NTR.

Same, whenever a footjob scene comes up in a game I just kinda click through it all. Does absolutely nothing for me. Happy for those foot fetish freaks though, glad they can bust one off I guess. I was about to say do KK feet work the same as real feet? But here I am, shooting ropes to KK t'n'a so wtf do I know.

Yeah, it's both a blessing and a curse of this community. Sometimes I see some theories get waaaaay too far into the weeds on a probable mistake of Sel's and the forum just runs with it as canon. Which honestly is fair, because we only get updates a few times a year, no reason to not just pick through everything we can. But with so few updates and so much free time to go over old events looking for anything to analyze, it feels like we get dangerously close to this

Me, when I look at the feet discussion:

 

[LessonsInDissonance]

You guys give Selebus too much credit, he's one of the best at writing stories ever, but he's not an intellectual genius.
If you've seen his twitter he's the typical liberal know-it-all who thinks he's better than everyone else.

Imagine Brian Griffin but he can actually write a good story

Feed me the drama.Inject it into my veins(Pls do so im bored and the theory crafting has burned a hole in my brain)

So he is proud of the creation of a character i wasnt even sure was actually part of the game because that name didnt ring a single bell and even after checking the wiki i have no idea who that is suppose to be? That is a weird answer man.

Kyoko is one of those "look deeper to find" characters if I remember right, but there was a list of names in last halloween as a "special thanks."

Sure we will see Kyoko in the next few chapters, she was activelly teased in third. She might be a bridge between LiL, Nothing is Beautifull and upside down house

 

[ccxvidonaferens]

I really hope it's Noriko just for the poor girl's sanity.

Hey. Sanity's overrated. Slightly unhinged works for me.

More like a "blink and you missed it" character.

So you think she will become a real character and much more fleshed out? Because as she is right now, she isnt even a character to me. So i really am not sure what Sel is even suppose to be proud of here. Or does he speak about what he has written off-screen that no one of us has seen?

Or is this just a joke he made and i didnt even realise it was a joke?

We would surely get more information about her, the only question is when. Also, I think Sel is half-joking there

oh we talking about feet now? consider me in.

I agree that this choice is weird. Like, even when I can acknowledge her potential importance and can recall each instance of Kyoko’s appearance in the game, the reason behind choosing her over the rest of the girls or entities he created still is beyond me.

I just chalk this up to an attempt in stirring discussion and nothing more, like that “Tsubasa being more important than the community thinks she is” Q&A; it doesn't really mean anything until it's proven otherwise by updates.

Yeah, sounds like something he would do.

Cmon, Tsubasa's importance was kinda proved by updates, but most part of community doesn't get it. She knows about Yasu's religion (Priestess of Fallen Snow IIRC), she understands importance of Akira, so she basically understands the rules of the divine game and definetly can interfere. If she would not be important, who would?

Hm, the recent fetish talk reminded me of Touka's fetish:

I wonder if "us" being Kyoko in Chapter 3's 'An Excerpt From a Waterlogged Journal' is meant to imply something:

Definitely seems related to the Upside Down House stuff, and whatever that's about. Perhaps even about "how the world works", if she's Nodoka's mother:

Guys I think you are all forgetting the fact that LiL is just the beginning of a larger universe called 'The Wishing Well' where all of Selebus's works will take place. I don't think Kyoko would have any important role in this game at least.
