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

[barglenarglezous]

While a lot of this makes sense, it doesn't fill me with confidence to keep following this game. The frustration abou the event tracking in this game is one of my primary beefs so I doubt if I'll contuing to try and figure things out if the developer doens't want to meet somewhere closer in the middle on this.

Event tracking is fairly straightforward if you use the wiki -- including the page that tracks which characters get scenes in a given update.

The way the game is structured, most updates must be played sequentially -- so you get to a certain point in Character A's scenes where you can't unlock more, because they don't get any more content for 6-7 updates, and you have to play through all of that to continue their personal arc. So if you keep the changelog handy, you're only trying to figure out which of 4-5 characters you're stuck on, instead of all 33.

It's not perfect, but it's better than going without.

Where it breaks down is within a particular update, there's often a set linear order, and it isn't always obvious.

Looking forward to what you theory guys make of this update, i saw a few codes and what read like disguised data drops in the narrator's philosophical musings. Sekai being... i dunno... reborn? With powers? Just another facet of Sensei's broken psyche asserting itself as he is slowly piecing himself together? As i've said many times, this shit is beyond my feeble mind, i rely on you guys to write shit about them that makes me go "oooooh... intredasting...".

 

[vehemental]

Can someone help me find where the save files are stored for this game? I didn't find it in the usual \AppData\Roaming\RenPy folders unless it has a strange name

Look for the folder that starts with - hilariously - "Test2"

 

[ciderapple]

... He had compromised his vision for the game to get attention early on...

Sounds like the classic example of a bait and switch to me.

As for the 'pirates' angle another poster mentioned.. Pirates are free advertising, and many of them actually do support games they enjoy. I personally support quite a few games precisely for that reason. Also, this is a pirate forum, so coming here to complain about piracy is not going to go over well.

LMAO that's so ridiculous

Those angels appeared with Sekai, right? And they've usually been associated with HOPE. Is Sekai HOPE? Are they working together? I can't tell anymore. Hoping that Sel hasn't lost the plot on this but I'm intrigued nonetheless.

The main issue with the piracy isn't that it happens, it's that it happens within seconds of release even though he releases the game for free two weeks later.

He's even said that he wouldn't care if it happened three days later, it's the hour one leaks that he has an issue with.

 

[vehemental]

We both know he's doing it out of necessity. Everybody knows what his heart truly lies towards.

Sensei is a shell of a person being compelled by higher powers to fuck everything that moves. He's not even the same person as he was when he was boning Maya in a previous timeline.

IIRC, the relationship between HOPE and Nozomu is unclear, but there's a definite connection between the two, so the fact that Nozomu's wife is also tied to HOPE in some way should not be surprising.

Weird how only people who pirate products talk like they are doing the product they are pirating a favor while the people who see the numbers and impact on revenue from piracy insist that whatever free advertising does happen doesn't offset the loss. Whatever your stance on it is, it seems a very silly hill to die on for the pirates since the game literally comes out for free on his page.

Yes, but there's one thread that always persists and is a core of his character: his love for minors.

Case CLOSED.

I think I need a fucking diagram to explain all these relationships now. I've been playing this game for years now and I have forgotten a ton

 

[KnowNoHope]

He didn't do that though. U gotta be trolling.

he did, they are deleted scenes you can access on the computer though, also went back and changed a lot of dialogue that changed context, removed some lines of dialogue altogether that could have been used to lead to certain interpretations and altered scenes a bit.
imo made the 1st chapter a lot less dark
it didnt change the overall story though and felt more like a "why even bother" thing
people saying its an improvement feel like they are sucking up, people upset by it are over reacting a bit, is it a dip in quality, just a bit

tries to make certain things in the game actively offputting so that only the people interested in the sort of denpa story he wants to tell will keep going (originally the sexual content came a lot earlier and was more straightforwardly erotic, now it comes later and is much more fucked-up).

he also gets pissy from time to time if people dont have the emotional reaction he wants, such as anyone still liking Kirin after the beach thing which happened in the discord


I'm still in middle of download.
so we need lust of 50 for new update.. i mean i had all the girls at 40 or higher before last update figuring there was going to be a hang up on this... but a 20 point jump...crap, go back and grind some more before the download finishes

 

[crustlord12]

Also, can anyone with access to the discord tell us if the release schedule is going back to bi-weekly yet?

Ok, if you want to be super pedantic about it, "he didn't did not withhold content in retaliation". There.

Adhere to canon, please. Sensei barely goes for milfs. He preferst to hunt minors.

Bruh, any hole is a goal for this guy.
He's into any female.

He dun' give a sh- if best teacher Goth Lady is lesbo, he'll turn her to a BI.
Then to a B-TCH after he's finally with her.

honestly, it'd be better worth your time to just upload your save to a save edit website (or use the mod), especially because this update continues immediately from the last one and there's no option to spend time with anyone

 

[vehemental]

I'm not going to waste any more time debating the charitability of interpretation of the predilections of Sensei as the ideal degenerate denpa-hentai harem protagonist. Instead, I'll suggest that you probably have better things to do with your time than act as the morality police for games you obviously take issue with and are not interested in.

not trying to be negative about it or show you up, just saying the situation looks far more grey than how its being represented

I still got a save from right before last update i can grind on, though i gotta ask does the mod get you labeled as cheater in the game?
