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

[kitsunedawn]

She knows he won't remember any interaction they have. So why talk to him at all? Any conversation she has with Sensei is for our benefit, not his. The point of that scene is to set up some worldbuilding.

1) That the area beyond the barrier exists outside of time, so there's essentially a time bubble around Kumon-Mi that's isolating it from the rest of the world (which should make the reports from the war about Maki and Haruka's husbands immediately suspicious)
2) That within Kumon-mi there is a set of rules that become more flexible outside of it
3) That any time a character is behaving out of character, it might not ACTUALLY be that character
4) That Sensei has to learn things in a set order, and that he cannot really handle learning too much in the wrong order -- which recontextualizes what Maya believes about how learning anything at all about his past breaks him. It's not that he can't learn anything about his past, it's that he must learn these things in a set order, and when that order is disrupted, that's when he breaks.

In that scene, Nodoka is sus from the outset. Sensei even calls out the fact that she's picking up and breaking the same mug repeatedly. She's able to lure Sensei past the barrier -- which we now know is not just a military security barrier, but also a barrier of space and time. She vanishes without a sound.

If it wasn't Daisy, it was someone else with similar powers, but it certainly wasn't Nodoka.

The reports about the war, or Maki and Haruka's husband doesn't have to be suspicious. At least, not in the way you would expect. If a higher power is controlling everything (good, or evil), it would make sense to allow certain events to take place; especially if those events further reinforce what is happening within that sealed off area, or create a situation that the one in control wants to set in motion to "see what would happen."

I'm reminded of the original US run of "Big Brother". In that, the people inside the house were sealed off from all outside news or information. However, from time to time, the show's director and producers, would 'seed' information to the people inside the house. This was done to see how the people within the house reacted. What's more, it didn't always make sense in the context of what was happening with the show.

There's similar done on other reality type shows. Another good example is "Joe Schmo" where only the one person wasn't an actor; and everyone else was. From time to time, that show introduced problems or events into the show, in an effort to see how Joe would adapt to these problems and revelations. Granted in that show, none of it was true, but the point stands.

I think similar is happening here, and that higher power is effectively poking around and seeing what happens, or what Sensei does when presented with these various problems.

I don't think there is a singular "This person is in overall control" within the girls, but more that each of them are structured in such a way as to test Sensei and help him regain his memories in the right order at the right time.

MAN
it’s so nice to finally have Maya sweet moments❤

Tons of interesting stuff happened, but I am most intrigued by the fuckery awareness of Yumi and Tsuenyo.

While Tsuenyo seems to be semi conscious about it, Yumi needs to be confronted to be aware about it; some (Inami and Chika) can even straight up remember things may or may not have happened during the 2-month skip when asked.

If we assume Yumi and Tsuenyo are currently the only two that are aware without being in the roof squad, then why them? Tsuenyo has her fare shares of mystery, but for Yumi, even Sensei asks himself why Yumi (according to him, she is “not close to him, hasn’t made it to the roof, always she finds him and not the other way around”).

If these two are simply normal teenagers (aka not some divine being reincarnation), then what do they have in common that could’ve prompted this?

The only thing I can think of is that both of them weren’t always in the school system (Yumi constantly skipping school and Tsuenyo homeschooling), so maybe they are more outside of some divine intervention in a way? Outside of Teacher’s influence? (TBH I have no clue)


Lastly, I wish I can see what Ayane sees when she’s talking to Yasu.

Another thing that Yumi and Tsuneyo have in common is that they live in the old district, a place that Maya also has ties to and the place that Sensei "loses time" in more than most other places. It wouldn't explain why Yumi but not Chika, but maybe Yumi just spends more time there than Chika? Just a thought.

I went back and started a new game for this version, just to make certain my original save had not messed anything up. And I must say, the original Ami sex scene at the start of the game, was much better than the new one. There really is no comparison. I don't feel the new scene adds anything really worthwhile at all, and instead the new scene seems specifically designed to turn people off.

Instead of this original scene picture and variations of it. In fact this picture has been removed from the game entirely, yet it still appears in the first post of this thread.

This is the original first sex scene.

But with the new scene, we get a picture of ami's head and upper shoulders only, mixed with pictures of random stick figures and raw cuts of steak. Finishing up with an ms paint text saying "FIRST SEX SCENE COMPLETE" slapped over the top. The new scene feels low-effort and nonsensical. Even as a dream sequence it makes zero sense and doesn't add to the story at all.

It could even be argued that the new first scene takes away from the story, as the game was more interesting leaving it a bit of a mystery if Ami had actually had sex with the main character or not at the start of the game.

I even went back and loaded up an older version of the game to compare the two, and there really is no comparison. The original scene was better.

I should add, the original blow-job scenes were also fine, there was nothing wrong with them that I can see from either a story or technical standpoint. They should never have been taken out of the game imo.

One easy way to enable the console is to use Unren.

Don't forget that Sensei has glitched more around Yumi than any other character. So there's something about Yumi, specifically, that influences that.

I think its because they are actual "natives" of the 2nd half of town while other girls just "moved in". What I mean is that maybe they were born in 2nd half, while Chika and everyone was born somewhere else and thus "missed out"? I mean, maybe Chika and her parents had to move in 2nd part of town because of her sister's condition to cut some costs, or maybe they had to swap their good old home to this one to get more money, stuff like that. Well, at least thats one of my theoryes for that.

I missed the Ami event and Futaba event in this update and I have no clue why. I thought it might be because I gave floor 2 the win during the Dorm War but I went back and tried giving it to floor 1, nothing changed. Anyone know the what's required for these?

Maybe you should give them a few lust so that it will lead to the event

Mega

This isn't Lessons in love. It's the censored Legend of huggy boy version. Can you add the uncensored version?

 

[Bingoogus]

You people doing all this weird shit to change values when the easiest solution is to just download the URM and throw it into the /game folder, alt+m and type in the variable name and change the value, it's so fucking easy even using saveeditonline takes more effort. Why i ever see everyone recommend other options and never that one utterly baffles me, is the blue background scary or something? It's the simplest, safest most easy to use add-on i've ever come across and it should be so fucking popular that anyone recommending anything else should get a dogpile of facepalms on their post.

To narrow down the exact reason this is happening:

The game/images/subscribestar and game/scripts/subscribestar are the missing folders. They get ignored during compression unless you are specifically adding them.

 

[van321]

What I find most interesting about this update is the implication of Yasu's strangeness, that "he is here!" She is aware of the time jump, and she knows divine forces are acting throughout the two days at the beach. Yet... HOPE is nowhere to be found. HOPE is the god that wants Sensei to just use the girls and dispose of them. It is... Sekai who is present throughout these beach events, and the character progression for Sensei in these last two special event chains has been: "these girls matter, how they feel matters, that they love me matters." Whether it's Sekai manipulating him into paying more attention, or the "ghost" of "Sekai" the teacher, his brother's wife, reigniting past trauma and causing him to burst apart that nihilistic lustful attitude, Sensei's emotional eyes are opening.

This is going to open romance avenues for the characters who lack strong sexual desire for Sensei (Touka, Otoha, Rin, Io, Tsuenyo), cause characters with strong romantic bonds with Sensei to grow (Chika, Ayane, Maya, Noriko, Futaba), and cause characters with shaky relationships built on lust to break even more amidst the changing behavior (Ami, Makoto, Kirin, maybe Uta and Sana). Whether wrong or right, the story is going to take a different turn with Sensei clearly opening himself up more.

Another thing to ponder... was that really Tsuneyo? Or was it Daisy? From a narrative standpoint, it makes more sense for it to actually be Tsuneyo, since her character has showed zero progression for a long time and Tsuneyo being, as she says, a complete foil to Sensei, in understanding completely how others feel about her but being completely unable to understand how others are feeling about themselves, gives her a major role in Sensei's development in the next act.

On the topic of Yumi, in the event "Abyss", after forcing Sensei to be forward with her, HOPE tells Sensei HOPE knows Yumi by a different name, with an interesting line: "she looks scared; but she always looks scared when she is with you; the same way you always looked scared when you were with her." In the newest event "Moon-Touched", Yumi says she can't ignore how she feels anymore, "calling you out here in the middle of the night just so I can talk to you. That ain't shit I want to do... but it's shit I feel like I have to do and I don't get why I suddenly feel like that." Could just be a confession to her harboring muddled feelings for Sensei, or it could be indicative of her awareness that she suddenly has the impulse to do things completely against her normal character. And they finally complete the conversation that kept causing them to glitch out again, and again, and again, for two months. But... what is now different? Well, what was different that caused Sensei to not glitch out when talking with Maya about love? Sekai is present. It was glitching with Yumi that caused this unprecedented multi-character time jump in the first place. The theory has been raised before of a connection of some kind between Yumi and Sekai; this update, IMO, strengthens those theories.

 

[ciderapple]

I'm looking forward to doing an exclusive Sana run, I hope she gets a lot of good sex scenes.

 

[justsomeguy1754]

I see everyone talking about how nozomu is sensei's brother. I must have totally missed when that's alluded to, anyone know which events I should replay to learn more about that?

Look closer at the tombstone when Sensei and Ami go to visit her parent's grave. It says "Nozomu and Sekai Arikawa"

 

[anon198765]

So Im looking at an inability to get Wither, because I didnt flag Made Out of Nothing for Kirin, and it skipped it and left it black instead of green, and It cant progress

 

[anon198765]

Its Essentially been 5 weeks of resetting with no changes or the trigger hitting

 

[Wardtnaci]

I'm starting believe that the Kumon-mi we are experiencing is a form of purgatory/pocket universe and that all the people in it have all died after a certain point in real world. When or how not quite sure. But sure that Maya was the 1st to be placed in and real Sensei was last.

I believe for sure that Sensei is Ami's dad. I think the accident that killed Ami's mom and Sensei's Brother was cause by the truth of Sensei being Ami's dad coming out.
I think Sensei dumped/ghosted Niki when he started with sleeping Ami's mom.
I think Nodoka's mania was given to her to stop her from seeing what beyond the boundary
I think next reset will have Sensei and Maya needing Ayane to go to the roof but also finding out that Makoto, Futaba, Ami, Chicka, if not the entire dorm 1st floor, are also freely wandering around the broken world lost and are needed on the roof to complete the reset.
The Trinity of HOPE, Sekai and the Doppleganger girl makes sense.
Sekai = God of Wires? (because of how she manipulated Makoto and Futaba in threesome scene)

the two silhouette angles, the ones that say: "ssssssss" and "kkkkkkkk", are Sensei's unborn children. (far fetched therory)

 

[Wills747]

To narrow down the exact reason this is happening:

The game/images/subscribestar and game/scripts/subscribestar are the missing folders. They get ignored during compression unless you are specifically adding them.

It's more a case of removing lines in options.rpy before building the apk. These:
build.package('pc-subscribestar', 'zip', 'windows linux all subscribestar', 'PC including SubscribeStar exclusives')
build.package('mac-subscribestar', 'app-zip', 'mac all subscribestar', 'Mac including SubscribeStar exclusives')

build.classify('game/scripts/subscribestar/**', 'subscribestar')
build.classify('game/images/subscribestar/**', 'subscribestar')
Compression shouldn't be reading and interpreting from game scripts, at least the compressor I built doesn't.

Fixed apk version added. Less than 80Mb apk so a pain free fix.
