Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.47.0] [Selebus]

[Trenodian0225]

Okay so one question: who would be the most attractive among the girls if we imagine what they'd look like in real life?
Disregarding all of the human trafficking theories, nationality will have nothing to do with the criteria. Just basically, who
would have the most attractive features.

Setting aside the side characters cause Niki would be the winner by default. I had a thing going on for Tsuneyo for a while so I think she's my bet for now.

Did some speedrunning to get to reset2 and reset4 for the sole purpose of checking if any other parameter is dictating the number of ✓ on the wall with my limited knowledge about renpy; and the results are underwhelming as expected

The only player choice that has an effect on it is your decision with Ami. As far as I check, other meaningful choices we can make does not have an impact. I.e., manipulating flags like sarasex, harukasex, makisex, rinbetrayed, yumiknows, karinlied, or anything related to skipping Ayane/Kirin toxic scenes will not change anything.

(an afterthought is that I should've just checked how many varying versions of corkboard source images there are as it's a much faster solution; and of course there are only two for each reset, 3 or 4 for reset2 and 6 or 7 for reset4)

What's a little different is that in reset2 it checks ami_virgin and in reset4 it checks amifingered. The inconsistency is probably just Selly maybe forgot what parameter he used for checking as story-wise it makes no difference.

And I can safely say ✓ is not just counting towards how many v-cards. Excluding Ami, girls with virgin flags are Ayane/Makoto (true at reset2), and Chika/Kirin (true at reset4); this means a maximum of 3 and 5 at different resets, so nope! Forcing these flags to change won't do anything as these are hard-scripted and unavoidable.

Edit: at least the v-cards you claimed during the time in the loop; Sensei’s past with Maya is a little too shrouded despite sexing her is pretty much true.

Conclusions? still don't know too much about anything .
The only thing we know is pursuing Ami counts, and we don't even know why it counts with 100% confidence. It's easier to exclude what matters not than narrow down what matters.

Extremely subjective of course, but probably Makoto or Touka would be my answer. Also I'd disagree with your assessment that Niki would win by default if including side characters, as I'd definitely place Kaori above her personally.

Consider that it might not be Ami being fucked that is the key here, rather than seeing it as a checklist for who's been sexed up it might instead be a set of checkmarks for something completely different, like a checklist for Sensei's progress through the gods plans for him. 'ate a sandwich' 'had a bath' 'fucked Ami' 'met Noriko' 'witnessed Ayana's giant banana' etc. as one shitty example. I've got no ideas, just trying to enlarge the possible scope for you theory dudes.

Just to notice: amifingered flag also required for "Swim Trip" and "Turn Off The Lights". It actualy may track one of them instead of boring sex with niece

Can you please reference responsible lines of game code? It is starting to be interesting and I already lost context

Since I'm pretty convinced that Yasu's god wants Sensei to go around and take virginities, I'm gonna guess that the first 3 checkmarks belong to Ayane, Makoto and Maya and the next 3 are Chika, Kirin and Molly (this one I'm not really certain since the scene jumped from Sensei ready to insert into Molly, to Molly with cum on her body. Molly also said that she'd know if she lost it.)

the reset 2 one:
"Thing on the wall":
if ami_virgin == False:
play sound "static.mp3"
scene hoorayanotherreset13
with flash
stop sound
else:
play sound "static.mp3"
scene hoorayanotherreset14
with flash
stop sound

reset 4:
label resetfourthing:
if amifingered == True:
scene resetfour5 with fade
else:
scene resetfour5wrong with fade

 

[ccxvidonaferens]

Just floating this out there to see if anyone has an opinion on this, and I may be imagining it but to me it feels like the resets are happening more frequently. Like wasn't it only 3 or 4 updates since the last one ended.

No you're right, as every mark being "non equivalent" is something too possible to pass up, it's just with the limited unveiled story it's easier to assume every mark is equivalent and quickly rule out the unlikely. Their true meanings will tie to who write them and for what purpose a lot, and neither is clear as of now. I suggest everyone make their own ridiculous ruling just for the lolls because, you essentially have the same close-to-zero chance of getting it right as other people who seriously try to figure this out.

Thanks for this! What I did was merely changing flags, checking the wall, rolling back, rinse and repeat; primitive stuff

Okay so one question: who would be the most attractive among the girls if we imagine what they'd look like in real life?
Disregarding all of the human trafficking theories, nationality will have nothing to do with the criteria. Just basically, who
would have the most attractive features.

Setting aside the side characters cause Niki would be the winner by default. I had a thing going on for Tsuneyo for a while so I think she's my bet for now.

It'd likely depend on what one finds attractive.

Imo though, Touka would probably be the winner overall if we take a generalized approach. She's blessed in many ways. Including being rich as hell, being busty, being healthy and clean, being highly intelligent, being trained in combat and business, being cultured, and being an actually good person, etc. Her only real issues is that she's too compassionate, and she is inexperienced when it comes to common life, albeit those can be seen as attractive qualities anyway.

Touka was more or less virtually bred and raised to be safely attractive. Not to say the other girls aren't attractive, but I think most of them have something that would make them seem less attractive on paper to every other person. Whether it's simply that they are poor, need medications, have less prominent bodies, or have more prominent styles.

I also think if we include the side characters, Touka would still probably win. Niki has a simp club, but I'm sure there are plenty of haters out there as well. She's not exactly seen as a real person and if she suddenly is, she'd become way less popular, if not considered obsolete. She's also nearly in her 30s, which is apparently unattractive for Women. Her hair, style, personality, etc could also be deal breakers.

I think in terms of actual real relationships, it's fairly obvious that Niki is the actual "best" choice for Akira. Both because she's actually old enough for him to be with, and because the more Akira remembers, the more clear it becomes how important to him she is.

I like Niki, but I feel like she'd let Akira stay broken, similar to how Ami takes care of him. I think Imani is a better choice. He seems to have grown attached to her quicker then most and I feel like she'd attempt to help him get better. I don't think Niki would help him simply because she wouldn't see it as anything that needs to be fixed, just that he'd need some extra care.

I think that's because there is a lot less "cute girl filler" in chapter 3
Edit: Cute Girl Filler would be a good name for Akira

Just floating this out there to see if anyone has an opinion on this but to me it feels like the resets are happening more frequently. Like wasn't it only 3 or 4 updates since the last one ended.

First reset 0.5.0
Second reset 0.11.0
Third reset 0.18.0
Fourth reset 0.23.0 to 0.25.0
Fifth reset 0.29.0
Sixth reset at least 0.34.0 (updates until 0.33.0 already scheduled)

Distance between second and third reset seems to be fluke, in other cases it takes about 5 patches

Yeah, I've definitely noticed the same thing. I can't tell if it's intentional and it's meant to be related to the fact that Akira is changing, or if it's just an unintended consequence of recent events having a few really long event chains and stuff like the timeskip that happened.

I like Niki, but I feel like she'd let Akira stay broken, similar to how Ami takes care of him. I think Imani is a better choice. He seems to have grown attached to her quicker then most and I feel like she'd attempt to help him get better. I don't think Niki would help him simply because she wouldn't see it as anything that needs to be fixed, just that he'd need some extra care.

See I don't think Niki would let him stay broken, or at least I think she would actively try to help him improve (even if she'd accept him if he ultimately stayed broken). Remember that she chose to expose him to things she knew would hurt him because she thought it would ultimately help him, she's arguably done more to help Akira progress than any other character at this point.

As for Imani, I don't think she'd be a bad choice for Akira to ultimately end up with, but I also don't feel like we've had nearly enough interaction between the two of them for it to make more sense than Niki right now. Sure they have chemistry, but she's still really just the new girl we know almost nothing about who has actively avoided actually getting close to Akira in any kind of intimate way, even if we have clear indications that she does think of him in that way.

Maybe it's more of a false impression due to the Fourth reset occuring over 2 updates with the rework in the middle.

 

[barglenarglezous]

Just floating this out there to see if anyone has an opinion on this, and I may be imagining it but to me it feels like the resets are happening more frequently. Like wasn't it only 3 or 4 updates since the last one ended.

First reset: v.5
Second: v.11
Third: v.18p2
Fourth: Begain in v.23p2, ended in v.25p1 (v.24 was the rework, which did not advance the story)
Fifth: v.29

Part of the reason it feels faster is because we are now getting 1 big update instead of 2 small updates per month. With the extended holiday break, the gap between the 4th and 5th resets actually felt longer, despite fewer version numbers (the fact that v.26 was split into 3 parts is part of that, as well).

I'd say ("their", if there is a "their") "the" plan is to fix the girls. Someone (ingame), was it hope?, said that Akira is supposed to fix them, smth like that.
And ofcourse we have the "wonder in which one you cuuuuuuuuuum" recently. Maybe Akira is supposed to fix 'em with his DNA

 

[Pervyfox]

Favorite girl aesthetically is definitely Maya. but im also a hard Maya main lol. also don't forget that Noriko says she has the perfect ass on noriko's ass scale lol.
While I personally want Maya and Akira to be endgame, that relationship isnt good for either of them. But shes waited so many fucking years for him that i'd feel awful if they weren't endgame lmao.
Niki is a close 2nd though, and she definitely is willing to put in the work to get him to be better as pointed out above. childhood friend is such a good trope too.

 

[rianzz]

I just noticed that when everyone gave their opinion on who Akira should end up with, absolutely no one said Ami, I'm so proud of you guys.
