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

[barglenarglezous]

I just finished the first beach on my new playthrough

I have to say, the revamp overall added a lot of quality to the game visually. And with the new displays I've found it a lot easier not to get stuck. The first few hours of the game now are extremely weird and the writing is all over the place but it improves gradually

I found that a few scenes around the time of the beach and during still lack some visual upgrades though. Especially Sara's h scenes at the bar, they look terrible. And the scene when Karin is about to murder the watermelon at the beach, when Ami and Miku are first seen in it they look very spritey and don't fit into the background at all. Makoto's h scene in her room is very jaggedy as well, the timing for the cut off point in the animation is fucked up

Those are just a few examples of what could have been improved and got overlooked

No changes were made to animations. He just reviewed them to see if they passed muster, and if they didn't they were yanked out. That's why most of the blow job animations are gone. Animations are significantly more time-intensive, and the rework already took a month longer than planned. They're also not a design priority for him, and I honestly think he'd be happier if he never had to do them.

I don't think the dev frequents here anymore, but I'm sure your feedback would be greatly appreciated in the discord/s.

Just tried this one out for the very first time ......
... it turned out to be a BIG mistake.

WTF did the dev think to make such a boring fucking stupid grind feast?

This game could be so nice, but instead it's a giant mess of bullshit grind.

the game's grindiness is trivially easy to rectify. just edit the affection/lust points to like 50 and install the guide mod. events will play one after another and you'll be pointed to the right location to go to at the right time to progress.

the grind in this game is not really there to extend the length of gameplay bur rather to simply piss us off I guess. the dev seems to want it to be a frustrating experience (if you get to the puzzle sections, that will become very clear)
if you take away the grind for affection/lust points, the game will still take dozens of hours to play through because there are a shit ton of events and the vast majority of them are very interesting.

if you believe you'd enjoy the story without that aspect of the game involved in it, then i highly suggest you try it out again with the edited affection values

 

[Sirfappington123]

I can't believe he spent 6 months reworking the game and didn't come up with something better than the affection grind to barricade off content.

Just edit your save file, it's what i do (and i assume what almost everyone else does)

Thank fuck people on here can figure out those puzzles though, because that's some really obscure and annoying shit.

you can just browse the code, it’s as simple as save editing. Just search the files for text from the dialogue. It’s very straightforward

With the way the happy scenes are progressing, i wouldn't be surprised if we get a snuff video the next time around.

 

[mpekas]

It looks like applying the 0.26-part2 update results in some weirdly colored bold text that is very hard to read.

The full game seems to work just fine.

i rate a game by what it is and not by what it could be AFTER 3rd parties did their job.
Nobody can tell me otherwise than the dev just did a VERY bad job.
Possible that the game is enjoyable after patching the shit out of it, but again, that's not how it should be.

So i stick to my opinion that the game delivered by the dev is a holy crap shit show.

How to start Osako's events

It is and he does, and you're more than fair to both say so and throw the game in the bin, people are just trying to say that if you do try to bypass his shitty attitude there's a pretty good game to be found, whether you want to put that effort in or not is up to you and you're completely justified in your decision, we're just making sure you make an informed decision. I wrote this game off early on myself when i first tried it but over the space of a month or two i noticed so many signatures for it that i felt i might've been hasty, how could it be so popular if it's a stinking shitpile of grind i was thinking, so i gave it another shot, fiddled with the stats and boom, great game after that, i've been hooked ever since. The dev is a colossal asshole imo, i don't like him one bit and refuse to support him financially, but it's a good game so i stick around for the leaks.

You're not wrong. Judged by its merits as a game, it's terrible. Superman 64 was a better designed game.

But the story is intriguing enough if you're into that sort of thing it's worth working around the nonsense for some of us. Though it's probably going to be years before it reaches any sort of satisfying conclusion (if it's not abandoned before then).

Can someone make android version, please?

It's too large for an APK, you need to play it through joiplay

Also what do you think Wakana saw in her first event in the library in Sensei's eyes?(i think tears)

Tears are entirely possible. At first I thought it was just his eyes were shaking out of fear for either remembering more about Sekai or what he might do to Wakana (though in this event Sensei seemed to have control over his actions).

But IIRC Wakana was in fact directly describing his eyes; if it is tear then she should’ve said something like “wait are you about to cry” and got cut off by Sensei in mid sentence, rather than talking about eyes. Same goes for if it is fear in his eyes then she would’ve just described the leaked emotion.

I am also aware that Wakana said you’re uglier than I thought when looking at you this close (I laughed so hard during that). Throughout the game multiple girls seem to describe Sensei’s chaotic eyes as beautiful; his eyes also probably have some kind of charming power, considering how Rin wanting to kiss him after staring into them.
Based on these, I thought his eyes were temporarily back to normal for whatever reason (we saw Sensei once had normal eyes when having a glimpse of Sensei and Niki’s past). But well may god condemn the camera angle that makes us wonder even a tiniest thing.

Why do some of the event replays differ from what happened in my playthrough? For example, Haruka's recent event replays are as if Sensei hadn't fucked her, although he did. Is this intended behavior? How can I replay the version corresponding to what I've experienced in my playthrough? This also happens with Sara and Rin. Even though I'm doing a bad homie run, some replays are seemingly good homie ones.

When Replay gets to a point where it needs to check for a flag, it will assume the flag = False. The only time this doesn't happen is if the flag has to be True to even open the scene at all.

@d_pedestrian: Any plans to keep your Dark Mode mod updated? I tried modifying it myself to make it run, but it looks like all I managed to do was get Ren'Py to yell at me about an attribute error (Specifically, `'StoryEvent' object has no attribute 'update_all' when clicking Progress from the menu). I could probably manage to figure it out eventually, and would be happy to help if you want it, but I certainly don't want to swoop in and just take over if you are still planning upkeep

Edit: To clarify, the error is with trying to make Dark Mode work with the Progress Guide mod

It took way too long for me to find the 2nd Osako event

Same. If anyone is stuck:

Get Osako's affection up to 20 (which takes forever, just keep visiting her at the stupid dojo twice every weekend for 10 weeks) and then visit Maki at the porn shop.

On the plus side: it's a really cute event, and since Miku's lust was just unlocked so you can spend the weeknights fingering her while you wait for the weekends.

H-Scenes for:

•Ami
•Ayane
•Chika
•Futaba
•Kirin
•Makoto
•Miku
•Haruka
•Maki
•Niki
•Sara

Not wholesome, not entirely consensual, one-time H-Scenes for:
•Molly
•Maya (hopefull her H-Scene did not get removed in the latest version; it was early on in the game. If it did get removed, you can access it from Sensei's computer on the weekend.)

So a little less than 50% of the main cast, and a little more than 50% of the side cast, have H-scenes. And by H-scenes, I mean actual sex (handjob, oral or penetration). There's a few one-time kiss, hug, and nude scenes for other characters not listed above.

And according to Selebus, there are plans for H-scenes for every character (And side character). Although in my guess, maybe there won't be any scenes for Chinami (Chika's little sister) or Tsukasa (Touka's little sister):

Any new additions since this has been posted?
