Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.48.0] [Selebus]

[shmurfer]

If I want Alexisthymia, I have to wait to start Amy until I've finished all the main stuff that's out right? Up to 0.45 or 0.46?

technically you only need to finish .45

Specifically it's a line after the Ami - Maya torture. You get a sound effect, the wires smile and it sets a persistent variable while saying you have found Alexis. If you have a way to watch the event in a replay that would actually work to set the flag. Then experience Amy outside of a replay. The unlock for doing so is also persistent.

Is there like a limit to the amount of text renpy can store as skippable? Or is this some kind of bug? I don't like this. I really don't like this.

If you're talking about rollback, yeah. If you're lucky you might be able to rollback an entire repeatable sex scene's amount of dialogue boxes. Might need to quicksave more or go back to an auto save.

Chapter 3 part 1 is mostly event chains, to the point I'm pretty sure there are more chains than single events. It's worth quicksaving more to figure out you probably want to make more normal saves.

Why CAN'T he have sex with Ayane? Seems weird if you ask me.

Maya has a theory she wants to test with the new variable of Ayane. Sensei wants to prove her wrong to knock her off her pedestal. Ayane doesn't want to hurt Sensei in any way.

saving you 8 weeks of grinding, or in my case 7.

Why does everything have to hurt so much?

Same, saw the preview, guessed symposium and and then saw the title. Yay for us!

Sensei wants to prove her wrong to knock her off her pedestal.

I genuinely think he only obeyed her because of his submissive way with her and his feelings for her that became much stronger after the last reset in chapter 2 ;-;

I was trying to save some screenspace pruning the post. I'm sure there's a big part of him not wanting to upset Maya but he has brought up multiple times that reset that he wants to prove that Maya doesn't know everything, partially because in doing so, maybe she'll relax about how guarded she is around him. Which in doing so ends up proving her right a little

I'm going to use this as a segue to talk about something I haven't, yet noticed during the replay:

The whole "don't have sex with Ayane" is one of the instances where the plot makes no sense - it's more of a Selebus issue than anything else.

Regardless of the reason Akira agrees to it, he was not supposed to get Ayane pregnant. And yet the game treats it as if they can't even kiss. They have zero sexual interactions with one another and go out of their way to say how hard it's being (???????).

I mean, hello? The entirety of lesbian relationships don't generally include one of them cumming inside of one another, and yet they can get eachother off no problem - how come Ayane and Akira can't? It's one of those things that looked even dumber upon replay.

seems like you do have to do Amy in order to progress, looks like I'll be going back after catching up.

I’m going to guess that you played previously with the guide plugin installled. If so, you need to install it again.

It's not that I don't use guide plugins. I use 100% original no plugin

Did you take someone else's save though? If they used it you'd need to use it. Did you download the care packages? That causes problems if you didn't read up how to do things properly.

Yes, most happy events are required and the ones that aren't are missable.

You should keep a save that's before you start Amy so you can do alexis later on.

Selebus didn't make this, or it's from a commission where they asked to be extra pretentious with photo settings. Depth of field is never that wild with his normal stuff.

Technically there is one interaction, which means it's more likely that it was a dev time investment decision to not try to give any nice non sex h scenes with Ayane.

You can invite her over, and you can hang out or grind, and there's a section of dialogue in there that only plays if you're in that part of the game.

Germanic/Scandinavian languages have a neutral pronoun—and I believe @VoidExile ’s native language is one of those

You're right. It's Swedish. But I think I'm just bad at writing and don't understand the topic, just saw my name and went for it.

It was a repeatable scene. Some of the dialogue wasn't skippable. This tends to happen with these games occasionally where a dialogue that should be skippable isn't. I'm not 100% sure some of that dialogue wasn't changed because of some future trigger tho but I feel like some of it should have been skippable.
I have 9 pages worth of normal saves which I rotate between in like 5-7 days. The 10'th and beyond is just extra saves for scenes I want to see again.

If you'd like, tell me what scene it was and I could find any hidden dialogue in it. The sex scenes tend not to have hidden dialogue, but the few times they do are pretty interesting. Getting a thighjob from Ami has secret dialogue if she's wearing an outfit with gloves, because that ends with cumming into her hands.

What kind of animal is this suppose to be and what does it have on it's head?

Yes I know and I can do that to because Urm is easy to use and I don't think secret dialogue can't be caught by urm.

Basically what shmurfer said. This isn't made by Sel this is from somebody else. What sets Sel's commissions apart from everyone elses is his lighting. Lessons in Love has a very distinct lighting style which makes the game stand out from other Kk games. But whoever made this did a good job

Because that's just how Sana's chapter 3 events work I guess.

Probably not a problem for the repeatable scenes but URM actually misses a decent amount. There's a bunch of scenes in the game where there's a lot of expression checking, and if it's not done in one check before the next section of dialogue it can't parse the lower layers and then it defaults to whatever variables you have.

This is a common chapter 1 / 2 scenario that probably stopped me seeing a bunch of huggy dialogue

if amifingered == true:
    # choice 1
    if bonus == true:
        # Game would normally default here
    else:
        # impossible for URM to reach here, hard to read in the editor, gotta realise and then set the variable yourself
else:
    # choice 2

 

[Bingoogus]

if bonus == true: # Game would normally default here else: # impossible for URM to reach here, hard to read in the editor, gotta realise and then set the variable yourself

Search then save the variable in URM, go to variable tab, set flag to false, freeze it, save button at the top right so it persists through game reloads, enjoy whatever Huggy Boy content exists before he dropped it.

This would work, and thank you for teaching me something about URM I didn't know, but I only had a certain amount of fuck to give regarding huggy content. If I wanted the true experience I'd have to have triggered the file to do the word replacements that real huggy content used, and to do that would have realistically required two playthroughs since the words don't swap based merely on bonus or not.

I settled for some occasionally funny screenshots rather than double of the extra effort I'm already putting in.
