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

[OIUEFIU]

Are there any other games that you guys are playing alongside LiL? Really bored rn and i have nothing interesting to play.

Id like to recommend Everlasting summer.
Its free on steam and similarly to Katawa Shoujo, made by 4chan.
It has very strong vibe of old communistic camp and very good music.
Similar to Lil youll find yourself transported into looping world, that you have hard time escaping.
Dont play for lewds since if you patch them back, they are only one still picture and not very good one at that.

EDIT:
To get any idea of wtf is going on, youll have to get all the endings and play the side story.
Has a few big workshop mods, that completely rewrite the story.
Kinda cool how strong community the game has in russia

They even made IRL event at the camp the game art is based on.

What do you guys think is the best event in the game?

I love Yumi's Tech Support so much from a slice of life perspective, little moments that effectively bring out the cuteness of Kumon-mi's biggest baddest delinquent/tsundere/dumbass in full force and multiply it by a million.

And really have to give the cheeky bastard Selly some credit when he wrote dialogues like this:
"T-Mobile?"
"Horrible letter."
(shaking my head, eyerolling, and smirking all at the same time)

hey, any saves you guys mind saving? reset my pc and lost my save, i was pretty much up to scratch tho

 

[aramaug]

Also your assertion made me think.What do you guys think is the best event in the game? There is no specific criteria.It can be for pure wholesomeness like The color white(Which is also my fav event) or it can be filled to the brimm with lore.

The first ones that came to mind for emotional impact have already been mentioned: "Everlasting Mercy" and "The End of the Tour (Glasswalker)". To add to what's already been said about them, "Everlasting Mercy" has wonderful music (I get chills when it starts playing backwards), and "The End of the Tour" has some really beautiful renders.

"This Town Has Two Halves" is the one that really hooked my first time through. The game had incredible writing and characters from the start, but that was when I realized the story was also going to be a banger.

I've really enjoyed Ami's Chapter 4 arc so far. A couple favorite scenes from that which both involve Ayane: "...But Home is Nowhere" with a hurting Ami lashing out at Ayane, followed by a touching Ayane and Sensei scene, and "From the Heart (Red Shell)" with their (hopefully) wholesome reconciliation, the acknowledgment of DadSensei, and of course dangling the possibility of a threesome.

I think Kaori's scenes tend to have a great balance of humor, character, and plot. "Mysterious Abundance of Chickens" and "Wither" to name two favorites.

Off the top of my head, a couple of small moments that I love: when the "real Ami" shows up to reassure Sensei at the end of "Lamb Legs"

and when Ayane dares Maya to look after Sensei and Ami (and Maya Prime's reaction revealing that she does actually have a heart).

Oh and of course every scene involving Chinami because she's far too adorable for this world.

If i had to pick one i guess i'd say i loved stomachache [...] i've rewatched that scene like, easily ten times now, maybe closer to 15...

Jesus Christ, and I thought DeSkel was a psychopath for liking Nodoka.

Any full savers?

This made me feel validated with one of my old posts:

It's one thing for a story to be great when you have complex and important moments, like Maya confessing her feelings, or Akira smiling at his daughter, or Chika's mom looking at her house full of life again from the portrait - there are countless of them.

But it's rare even among great stories to be able to pull off "THIS CHICKEN SAVED YOUR LIFE!" and have you so into it that you not only take it seriously, but find it a great moment.

Oh, and I think I may be alone in this one, but I love the event with the japanese name (including the

), commonly referred to as "Sekai's restoration". I've loved it since the second replay though, and that's because I interpret it as "Akira's restoration" rather than Sekai's. Himawari (?) says in the event before it that "it can be beautiful to see something die in fragments, but it's even more beautiful to see it restored". And that is what LiL is about for me.

Also, it links beautifully if you look at it this way, because in the event "I will deliver you to the fireflies", Akira rejects Sekai for Maya.

And Himawari shifts from helping Sekai being restored to helping Akira being restored, in spite of Sekai coming back with it.

From that same perspective, "Miserably ever after" with its "I have disregarded the message from the desk of the ninth god, Pareidolia will have my head for it, but I know from experience that wires can only do so much - we are coming for you." gives me a lot of hope.

A lot of my other favorite moments overlap with those already mentioned, but I don't think anyone mentioned the event when Maya gets her scarf. Man, what a haunting scene when you have the context. I recommend rewatching it.

Edit: Fairytale and Cicadian Rhythm are also special to me. Because not only Ayane becomes a heroine by finding her mother in her daughter (family), but it has some sentences that just live rent free in my head:

Nahh, you’re definitely not alone. Sleepsong is a banger to listen to.

Really, the majority of the game’s soundtrack is. I listen to it unironically.

Nodoka is protective of those she cares about and sees them being caged as bad for them. The Resets are likely evil in her eyes. Nodoka values freedom.

I had thought she might end up being some kind of trump card against this world, but as time goes on, it seems more like she'll end up as Lessons in Love's Icarus, which flew too close to the sun, and ended up drowning. Maybe even literally?:

She's definitely in my top 10, though. Anyone who actually hates her...well, I see them as the crazy ones, lmao. Kind of pity them as well.

Jesus Christ, and I thought DeSkel was a psychopath for liking Nodoka.

Lmao, look, it's not like i love it cause it got my dick hard or something, i love it because it was powerful, that it had an impact on me. It was awful to witness, but it wasn't awful in its construction, it was extremely well done and i'm not someone that needs something to put a smile on my face for me to find it beautiful.

Don't get me wrong, i understand why most people might look at what i said and wonder wtf is wrong with me, but remember, this is fiction, as a species we use fiction to explore what could be, what might be, and also what we wish never was. I'm never ever going to want to hear a real story that mirrors Io's, i couldn't stomach it, literally, even imagining the concept as i type this has my stomach churning, but to safely explore it through fiction, well done fiction at that... it's a gift, one i am thankful for, one that adds greater depth to my experience as a thinking consciousness in this ridiculously absurdist universe.

Stomachache had an impact on me and it's one i will remember many many times in the future. I love it for that; the older i get, the rarer and rarer such experiences come upon me, i'm a misanthropic lump of jaded humanoid flesh, so anything that make me feel something real is something of tremendous value to me.

Yeah I was mostly just giving you a hard time, sorry about not making my tone more clear. I agree with you that Stomachache was a really powerful event with top tier writing. I have no problem with someone listing it as a favorite.

...What I do have a problem with is admitting you actually want to watch it again, you sick fuck. Just kidding

 

[Lil Caster]

Is the game complete? Because it's been a long time since the last update

 

[Lil Caster]

Lmao someone replied to me "It updates once a month"

 

[Crazynutso]

Is the game complete? Because it's been a long time since the last update

Yup, it's all done.

 

[somepersonoutofnowhere]

Is the game complete? Because it's been a long time since the last update

Nah man, it isn't complete until years later, it's getting updates the first day of every month (not guaranteed/always)

A war in the community regarding piracy broke out that had split the community in half but at the same time one half had
spammed mods with IP memes or something, you'll probably find explanations if you search up keywords, maybe war or piracy.

You can check the first page and see it does get updated.

 

[shmurfer]

Is the game complete? Because it's been a long time since the last update

There is a real chance Half Life 3 will come out before LiL finishes.

It is updating every month, it will just never hit the update queue again due to the drama. Latest update has been a banger and if you haven't been playing the game it will take you a month or two to reach it.

 

[LoveRedHairedGirl]

Anyone who actually hates her...well, I see them as the crazy ones, lmao. Kind of pity them as well.

Your Honour, in my defence, I may be crazy, even without disliking Nodoka. But yes, I do hate her. But I don't want to start any waifu wars or anything like that. I just want to say that I hate her as a person in general: for what she's done and for the fact that she freaking exists. Cuz I do dislike "smart" people like her irl, and I'm going to do the "Yumi treatment" for people like Nodoka in reality. Hell, I already did that once in middle school. It felt pretty damn good. Alas, they yanked me away from the "poor" asshole.
But do I hate Nodoka as a character? Hell no. I've said a billion times that I like her as a character, but not as a person. And hell, I liked her a lot in the beginning. But that just means that Selebus can create not just a pretty waifu, but.... whatever Nodoka is.
So, yeah. I MIGHT have some anger issues. And don't pity me, plz.

The game is no longer promoted on this site, so the dates are wrong. The last update was on the 1st of this month, and the next one will be on the 1st of next month.

You might have to add on some more pity after Nodoka got voted to be the most likely to fuck a snake in Sel's latest tier list.

I know this is a subject that has been kind of beaten to death, but I don't think I've shared my own take on it yet, even if it overlaps a lot with what others have said. Warning: wall of text incoming.
