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

[crustlord12]

Once I get back to the room that's all there is the the update right? I can't find any missing events for any girls but there's a suspicious ??? in happy events

That's a happy event that can only be seen now in the Amy mall event, and it won't work during a replay. Search the thread for Alexis to find the discussion, I'd recommend using URM and just jumping to the label

To add to that, because it's unique: This event is tied to two 'persistent' variables, meaning it isn't tied to a save, it exists outside of saves, you can do it in one save and it will be unlocked for all of them. This means you can just freely jump to it from wherever in the game, finish it and then just close the game without saving, no save of any kind is needed, it's all hidden in the background code.

I feared it might be a classic Selly trap but i think you're just meant to see it when doing a full replay of the game, a sort of easter egg. It doesn't seem to do anything but make it available and then tick it off as having been seen, i'm quite unsure how you could tie it into a Selly trap later on without a good deal of risk for non 'cheating' players.

It's kind of crazy to think that way back when at the start of the thread that Selebus wanted to let the player give Sensei a name but just didn't for technical and story reasons ("why would students be calling their teacher by his first name / when did he even tell them his name"), then over time this transitioned instead to the lust name system. This is really interesting to think about in terms of self-insertion and how, at this point post ch1 rework, naming Sensei would be unfathomable - what intention with Sensei may have changed in the rework? It is also food for thought when it comes to the very fact that we have ownership of defining Sensei's name/identity only in lustful contexts. Now what thematic resonance might that have?

The "God" with the most agency in the game is still us so I still don't think that it would be farfetched to incorporate a naming system into this, even with the context we have now. I think the only reason why we were never going to get one in the first place was to seperate the "user's" identity from Akira early on and thats that. Selebus didn't want players self-identifying with Akira because Akira is strictly meant to be a vessel for us, not us.

From what I've seen, if I finish the ending of update 0.45 where the narrator talks about how we've all come so far and other sappy lines I'll be able to replay the game and meet alexis. That's too easy to see for it to be a Selly trap.

 

[Moonflare]

the only trap in this game is himawari.

in more ways than one. just kidding... unless? where is kittyhawk

 

[LoveRedHairedGirl]

You know, I still believe Selebus will add another 5 characters into side cast.
Himawari will have her own profile, I guess. Resurected Sekai might have it too. Who else... Rin's second mom might appear there (so adult party will try to fix another lesbian party once more). We have 2 more free spaces... What about Ayane's mom? And... I don't have any idea who would be 5th and last side cast character.
But, like, there is no way Himawari and Sekai won't have their own profiles in the side cast list in the future. They are really important to the story and everything just hints on Sekai's possible ressurection. And Selebus won't even need to overplan everything since Sekai and Himawari already have a strong personality and their aims. The same towards Rin's second mom, though she is just a name without proper personality now. Yet still!

Nozomu is both of Rin's bio parents, naturally.

There is no Maya Prime in 0.45. She is still in well i think (or really erased).
We saw copy of Maya Prime without last two years, but this is not the girl we have been watching since the beginning of the game.

I'm referring to this Maya from last update:

The Maya who is the only person aware of the Resets in her timeline, and probably strangled a Sensei to death with a rope, after fucking who knows how many others to death (albeit, our Maya Prime did that too).

She's a Maya Prime, as in she's similar to the Maya Prime you're referring to, while still distinguishable. The Main (from our perspective) Maya Prime (the one you're referring to) seemingly got fucked to death by our Sensei. Hence why I used "a" and "that", instead of "our".

There's apparently been a lot of Maya Primes and New Mayas, according to this Ami (who I've also referred to as Ami Prime for simplicities sake):

We also might have a New New Maya now, depending upon what's revealed about Maya next.

 

[Meskal1ne]

We also might have a New New Maya now

we can find her in dorms during generic event and raise some affection right now.

Hello Mr. Bingoogus, I hope you're not still too mad at me to read this post

In the Amy event she asks you to make a save and come back to visit her later. Then in this event the dude in the pool says "Surely you did what she asked." and "Go ring the bell" and stuff (aka "go reload the save and go to taco bell"). All the stuff about variables is only because it's necessary since you need to reload an old save for this. It's possible to deduce this independently, especially if you pay double attention to the vine man when he's the only one without meaning for the puzzle itself. (Although this one really sucked since pre-0.42 saves seem to crash my game so even though I made a backup save it was hell actually accessing the event. Partially my own fault for using progress mod as well.)

 

[somedoodwhogames]

Ayane and Yumi may have went pop (from Makoto's perspective) then ended up running into a Maya Prime (during the Reset), then got swallowed by HOPE (during the Reset after reaching that versions roof), though. Ayane having that Maya Prime's scarf, yet memories of the Ayane that went pop would suggest this.

Of course, there's always the possibility that these main versions on the roof are merely new versions with memories and modifications from past main versions to simulate the survival of those past main versions, but who knows.

I'm a little CONCERNED about Ayane being in her winter garb, wearing the scarf, but seemingly not remembering what she's supposed to do with it. HOPEfully we find out in a main event in the Christmas update, and Sel doesn't CALLOUSly drag it out until the next Ayane and Maya events (May '25 release). The same thing seems to happen to Sensei during the past resets we've witnessed, even when he's remembered the continuity of events leading up to that reset. But his perception and memory is not reliable even outside the resetw, so hard to say.

the Christmas update

Dumbass question incoming but did we just have Halloween in spring? And is it seeming like we'll have Christmas in spring as well? Were these addressed by the characters? I can't get to my PC any time soon to check this out and my brain has been filled by anime tiddies so I can't remember

 

[barglenarglezous]

FYI Sara is Sana's daughter

And Sara sprang from Sana's womb fully formed, so we know Sensei will fit this time.

This isn't the first time holidays have happened out of season.

 

[amerika01]

I've just finished the whole game until the 0.45 update from start to end and posted my first review ever and probably the only review I will ever post on the site... god... this game is incredible... with it's pros and cons, it's is an awesome journey

 

[Tommykjohnson1990]

Has Himawari ever impersonated Ami? And as of now the only person she's said anything "strange" about becoming is Ayane right?

 

[YOUDIDIT]

we can find her in dorms during generic event and raise some affection right now.

I think, it's a bug. And Sel will fix it.
We still can't see Maya in the shrine, but we can in the dorm - illogical.

Or the bug is Maya in shrine and Sel will fix it

After the reset, it started snowing and Yumi froze.
It's not spring anymore, they got winter.
