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

[LoveRedHairedGirl]

They are still doing that name thing. I went with Barack because I thought that was the funniest.

What do you mean, it is Barack Sensei Obama for you!

Only that teenagers wouldn't be using tv's anymore... I don't think.

How old are you to think TV is still a thing among youngsters?

And then suddenly asks "How much can you see in the dark, Sensei?" There is something seriously wrong with this girl. It wouldn't fucking surprise me if she's a literal ghost or dead person.

I want to be completely honest: I was afraid of Yasu at first. Her introduction was creepy as hell.

It's honestly like the dev looked at all their characters and thought: "They aren't insane enough."

Honestly, that's explaining a lot, xd.

I feel so unsettled that I'm expecting Yasus' neck to snap 150 degrees and look straight at us or something...

I felt the same, bro!

So, Molly, Sana and Nodoka will have these invite-events. Will Molly and Sana get the D though?

So, Molly, Sana and Nodoka will have these invite-events. Will Molly and Sana get the D though?

Probably not. The only girl thus far to lose her virginity on Akira's bedroom was Futaba. Nodoka should be getting some, although it'd be wholesome for them to hug instead.

Or who the hell knows, Molly was about to have sex and there's no real reason why not in her front. I'm just a bit confused as to why Akira is even inviting them there. Maybe in this new version of inviteovers he'll invite them there for the first event and then shift to the apartment? Because it's very likely that Niki will start noticing a lot of not pink hair in the bed she sleeps every night.

That's why they'll use Ami's bed.

Welll, traditionally something sexual happens in every other invite-over event with the corresponding girl, so I think it’s more likely to happen than not.

All except for Noriko who was cucked by Ami in her invite-over because of course she was.

 

[DeanNoriko]

Edit: I also wonder if Molly's helping Akira make a character (and that's their excuse for this time).

Ngl, I would love to see Akira change character for once, like Sana does during the DnD bits, and be a super chivalrous and energetic Paladin or something.
Or I mean, he could just begrudgingly partake in the DnD sessions and make crude comments and try to fuck every enemy into submission with his "giant club" as his main weapon.

Either way, I'm sure it would be pretty funny.

 

[Moonflare]

That's why they'll use Ami's bed.

yeah, but hear me out, not only there's an apartment - there's an apartment where Chika also lives (the new "I want to watch you have sex" Chika).

Man, this update could be either great or lame, because we have inviteovers with the Ami that has had sex with everyone, Niki living in Akira's bedroom, an apartment that most people don't know about, and a bizarre Chika. Also a lot of girls that want to have sex asap, and are already aware they need to catch up to the rest of the harem fast. There is so much material for interesting situations!

I think I get 100 Nodoka points for correctly guessing Sana-Nodoka-Molly?

 

[crustlord12]

You gonna update it for 2025?

... You went back 18,000 posts for this?

Yes please... Rin should be dead last... not cause i dislike her, she's great, no... simply because it would be funny.

I cannot believe you of all people would place this knife in my back like this!

Spoiler: Kaori and Ayane take turns playing with each others cocks

* People who refused Tsukasa in Failsafe erroneously get the tsukasacurious flag. No solution beyond waiting for the autopatch.rpy in the next release.

So I take it I will have to replay this update on my effected save next month? I guess I could edit some variables but without knowing exactly what will be changed I think it will be easier just to replay it and skip through everything.

Well at least Molly and Nodoka head pats will probably be extra funny. I'm not sure about the direction Sana will go though. Molly will definitely say she has done this very thing in some H-game and knows what's coming. Nodoka will be Nodoka.

Seeing how this is going, im going to open the votes to see who you think will get de D first, Tsukasa or Tomoko. Probably Tonfa but Tsukasa doing it first to throw it at her sister face to let her know she deserve her place at her family would be interesting too.

I'm full sending Tsukasa getting the D first. Tobiko isn't actively searching Sensei out at this point.

* Several invite events still drop you at the Chapter 3 hub. Proposed solution: visit the Maid Cafe, it has a proper exit condition.

* People who refused Tsukasa in Failsafe erroneously get the tsukasacurious flag. No solution beyond waiting for the autopatch.rpy in the next release.

* Post-Nut Clarity should have a replay end trigger for the hidden scene, and should lift the mayablock flag for the normal scene. Also to be resolved next release.

These clear up quite a few things then

• The sandbox isn't supposed to be broken, so some of the theories that something happened recently and girls are acting out of character isn't quite as strong anymore (girls acting out of character alongside a intentionally broken sandbox could have been interesting)
• The tsukasa scenes were indeed supposed to be Groomer only and he isn't winding up for some Machiavellian plotline showing Tsukasa sex without intending to have any with her. (He's about to use TsukasaCurious a lot I think. This event will be the last time he spams tsukasaspring3 == True AND tsukasarefused == False and he hasn't even done it once yet)
• Sel is a lazy 'lazy programmer', copy pasting two sets of +affection increased, event flag setting, epilogue dialogue, skipflag setting.

If both paths are supposed to lift mayablock and both are supposed to end replays, then they become identical and should have been placed outside of the dialogue split in the first place, and then these bugs would have never happened.

Well good to know there isn't some meta event coming, and it also means people who grinded Maya affection last update weren't about to get bugged.

Really? Do you not realize my chaos gremlin level of dark humour yet?

 

[shmurfer]

Does anyone have any new theories about Kyoto? As of 0.45 it seems likely that there were no plotholes/memory fuckery, and that it was simply a different timeline.

But i honestly kind of hate that, it feels like a copout answer and it significantly detracts from the scenes impact, since it's just something that happened to a different sensei with a different Sekai in a different world, by extension that also means that any information presented is meaningless, Sekai seems far more humane and kind in the flashback, but, again, that is not "our" Sekai, who knows just how different she and her relationship with Akira is in this world.

I think the Nakayamas are involved in timeline shenanignas just like Maya (if not the same timeline shenanigans) and we can't trust any flashback to Sensei's past. I wanna finish my playthrough before I drop a suspicion I have.

Okay that's definitely a bug with Autovn. Fuck that. Apparently autovn can make you go to the dojo to visit Osako even tho I don't have that option when visiting it, nor do I have her phone number. There should be literally no way for autovn to make me visit Osako right now.

There is a event where you're invited to Wakana's apartment, and then leave the apartment with Osako. If you have seen it you should be allowed to visit Osako at the Gym, otherwise yeah it is a bug. I don't think you'd be too far from unlocking it though.

What does that even mean? "tidac muleac" written upside down.

I believe it's reversed, awkwardly translated latin

Reached the ch2 winter beach event "Everything Ephemeral", saw the image spam at the end of it and saw one of them has a really hard message to read. Didn't get much results for the image name (everythingg7) or "Everything Ephemeral" in the search so this might be a message people had missed. I got rid of most of the "please stop playing the game, things will only get worse' pixels" (though there are some I missed, the second image makes them a bit easier to see), then whitened the distorted words which made it pretty readable.

Spoiler: whitened text

When I imported the image into the editor the horizontal bars lit up bright white instead of the dull grey they appear as in my image preview. Found out it's because they're very transparent pixels and I had left a layer of white below the image. Gonna leave it here incase it's actually morse code or something but I don't think Sel's ever tryharded enough to leave a message like that in the game.

Spoiler: Just the horizontal bars whitened

How old are you to think TV is still a thing among youngsters?

Well, I'm in my mid 20's. It probably wasn't very popular 10 years ago either and now it's probably a ghost time. I just think cartoon should still be somewhat relevant for those who haven't discovered the wonderful world of watching ad free anime on a computer or Youtube. I dunno... Probably just out of touch.

There is a event where you're invited to Wakana's apartment, and then leave the apartment with Osako. If you have seen it you should be allowed to visit Osako at the Gym, otherwise yeah it is a bug. I don't think you'd be too far from unlocking it though.

Yep. Haven't seen that yet but something like that will happen sooner or later.

Caelum is a thing apparently but no hits on the other. So I can't translate that on my own I don't think.

ATTENTION SELEBUS: I am contacting you indirectly by radio frequency so the damn Reds don't pick up on our transmissions. Here's the scoop: just tried recommending Lessons in Love to someone and they said they wouldn't play a game that hasn't updated in over a year. I say what the hell, Lessons in Love has the best-damn release schedule ever seen among wegs and got an update just a couple days ago in fact. They say check the itch.io page, game's dead Jim. Hell's bells, fine, I do. And using quick wits I determine the problem.



Bzzrt... You still on? You gotta post new development logs, man, even if you don't include anything but a download link. I don't know all the nuances here but I can't imagine there's any red tape here. You're losin' readers!

Hm? What's that? All I hear is static... hold your damn horses, I'm turning the dial! Alright, alright, message received: "What kind of retard is so unobservant they wouldn't look 2 inches up and see the latest download link was posted only 78 days ago? Hell, I don't want anyone that stupid playing my game anyway. If I don't want to do dev logs I'm not about to start for plebs. And definitely not after being advised to by a guy I have on my ignore list like everyone else. That'd make me seem pliable to external forces."

SENDING REPLY... Don't give me that, man! You know it's sophistry! It's a natural god-damn human tendency to always justify inaction: my momma taught me it was called 'rat-ion-a-li-zation.' Look up the 2009 article 'Beware Trivial Inconveniences' on Lesswrong dot com! You wanna minimize any obstacle to user acquisition and retention whatsoever! What seems trivial to you could be causing untold damage! Don't you want more readers?

Bzbbzzzzzrt... Listen guy, first of all, fuck you. Second of all, someone likely told me this in the past one point five years and I ignored it then. Get a clue: there's a good reason that dev log isn't updating. I'm dialing off this frequency. Drink full and descend, bitch.

Don't you da- Selebus? Selebus, god damnit! Answer..... Fine. You know what, fine. Nobody ever said shilling a game for free was ever going to be easy. If that's how you wanna be: so be it then! I'll just take my copy-paste file and add "DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE STAGNENT DEVELOPMENT LOG: ITCH.IO CHARGES $1,000 PER UPDATE AND HAS FORCED THE DEVELOPER TO HAVE A HALF-ABANDONED PAGE DESPITE HIS ABSOLUTELY 100% OOZING PASSION FOR THE GAME AND ALSO LOVE FOR THE PLAYERBASE. DO NOT BE PUT OFF. KINO AWAITS."
