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

[LoveRedHairedGirl]

Oh, I think both are super straight. There was a scene during the update in which this was explained pretty much, which was Yumi's reaction to being accepted and even a desired presence by Makoto on RAS. That was very heartwarming, it's not sexual in any way.

Tbh, Yumi's character arc is blooming - she says a LOT of stuff during this update about what she wants out of her life, about how hard it is to talk to her mom and even Akira to an extent. Big growth.

No-no, I didn't mean sexual part. Like, love can be platonical or however it called. I loved how wholesome it was, just a bit triggered after remembering that 99% of main cast are horny bisexuals now. Like, it was Kirin's main trait, but now it is everyones trait, lmao.

But yes, for me, 4th chapter is more like Yumi's chapter rather than Sana's. God, I like Yumi even more now.

BTW! Look!


Selebus never told us we have a happy event at that update. So, technically we shouldn't open it, right?
(Or i Just don't remember him never mentioning happy events)

0.45 event triggers

There are 18 events in total. All events are automatic and linked. After the final event you'll be back to your room and able to free roam. (See the end of the post for the happy event)

There is one unlockable Maya Outfit during YET ANOTHER reset event.
Answers for the reset event were provided by the following post:



That's it, we're finally out of the reset. What a mess to have to do two puzzles this time.

Edit: crap, I'm missing the happy event! Will investigate.
Edit2: Well, this is the event:

Spoiler: new happy event

I'm not entirely sure how it works, but it requires you to rewatch the Happy Event "Amy", after completing the current update. From then on, it will be green even on saves before the current update. My guess is that you simply unlock it by rewatching "Amy" on replay, but on the offchance that isn't the case, you can trigger it through URM and that will do the trick.

Event name is

Oh god... what if the fact the event trigger is within a previous happy event means we were all meant to not do that event until now... what a monumentally fucked up dick move that would be for Selly...

Edit: the event isn't able to be flagged as missed yet and it only seems to set the 'alexsisisreal' flag back to false whilst unlocking the scene for replay so... dunno what effects that will or won't have on the green path if that turns out to be the case...

Were the puzzle answers hidden in previous events? If not, my current takeaway is that with the happy event being hidden in a different event, and with literally requiring us to go into the game code itself to search for the puzzle answers, Sel is forcing us to keep thinking about all of this exactly as it is - a game. The puzzles are easy in that they're just one line answers you can easily find in the code. No bullshit searching around, etc.

Also this update was a fucking banger. Loved every single event. Can't remember the last time I was this engrossed by an update (including the last one I guess)

Her comment about considering staying in the past so she could go to the convenience store (where she begins her friendship with Noriko and lands an actual job) sooner says a lot about her growth.

especially cause we'll now be without updates until 2025 wasn't the best choice.

... What do you mean by that ...

 

[JelF547]

Happy event is located inside Amy event and can be accessed by loading earlier save. As far as I see, you'd even get a green check mark inn progress tracker if you do it within another save

PS this update wasn't good. It was excellent. I guess, I can call everything we seen before just an exposition and now we have some real action

Fuck it, let's start the discussions.

More or less these are just first impressions on some of the stuff I think could generate discussions.

Edit: forgot to add that Ami is likely the insane narrator that GOES LIKE THIS. Don't know if it's always her when it goes like that though. The entire story is changed by what was revealed this update, I'm sure a lot of us will be replaying the whole thing in the next months anyway. We can compare Ami notes then.

Now that 45 is out can someone with urm show screens of what happens when you purchase travelers sex scenes during sesnsie quest for us lowley phone players who are in no way ever gonna grind for a joke.

I thought the same, but she as a narrator is capable of much more than when she's actually present. Maybe we're dealing with different instances of the same person again? Maybe Himawari-narrator is more advanced (in time) version, that actually got conceived, where Himawari-shapeshifter is how her journey begun?

 

[barglenarglezous]

We probably need to settle on some Maya terminology now that there's at least 3 of them.

It's something to the effect of "did you really think you'd get a sex scene with me? I already told you I'm not that kind of character" for both of them. Different words each time, but the same joke repeated.

Also, needless to say, the reset puzzle was dog shit. I don't know what I expected. I guess, after Sensei Quest, for him to become a bit more creative. This just felt like a drag and I would have taken way too long for me to come up with all of the answers on my own accord. I've lost all hope of him producing any good and interesting reset puzzles.

This update was an absolute chore to get through, I'm amazed that some of you guys liked it. To be fair though, I've thought the same about the last several, so maybe this is a me thing.

 

[LoveRedHairedGirl]

In my live reaction spoiler section I called them Maya Prime (the first we ever saw), Maya Primaris (the one who were wearing Bronya outfit) and... I didn't come up with a nickname for the one who doesn't have any memories, xd.

I'm no longer contractually obligated to defend "Lessons in Love" on f95 so this time I will speak harsh words too. Damn, I misplaced my "numbers.txt" and had to reread prior events to grab the numbers! This puzzle is so hard to extend game time hours and extort December subscribestar money from people who take months to solve these riddles! If you can even call them riddles! The event even parodies that the numbers are super specific and come from random places! Grrr! Selebus finally missed I am sad to say....

This update has a proper "oh my god, the butler actually did it" vibe.

"Prime" and "Primaris" are just close enough to be confusing, but I do agree with "Prime" for the first Maya we meeet back on Day 1.

Maya Prime: Day 1 Maya
Nu Maya: Post 2023 Halloween Maya
Old Woman Maya: The Maya we meet in this update. She's been doing this longer than our Maya, she's more jaded and more weary
New Nu Maya: If Nu Maya is in fact killed in this update and we have to start all over again.
Snu Snu Maya: If Nu Maya is in fact killed in this update and the new Maya is significantly hornier than Nu Maya was.

Idk, this actually felt like a more or less normal stuff between lovers. I suspect your perception of this was colored by the age gap and that creepy smirk.

I think prime, new and alt Maya is enough for now. we don't know for certain if the maya from 0.45 sits in the past, future or even another timeline altogether, from where I think alternate maya, or alt maya is appropriate for the moment (until we know more).

I thought the same, but she as a narrator is capable of much more than when she's actually present. Maybe we're dealing with different instances of the same person again? Maybe Himawari-narrator is more advanced (in time) version, that actually got conceived, where Himawari-shapeshifter is how her journey begun?

I like this idea.

 

[Dc345]

I think Alexis is an actual scene in the game we haven't found yet because Sel refers to it as such
