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

[vehemental]

I know but how do you trigger the event?

Just by calling Chinami IIRC

 

[Cerpin]

Oi, do ya have a loicense fer your Oirishness, mate?

Arsk yer man Ronnie Drew.

One tiny suggestion... due to my SW background and mild OCD.
For things like "0.13.0 Part2", would be better to continue the versioning. Like, I understand maybe "Part2" is supposed to be part of the version, but in general, a newer version should not reduce the patch version unless it increases the minor version, or reduce the minor version unless it increases the major version.
So, it should be "0.13.2 Part2", or at least "0.13.1 Part2" if Part2 is part of the version, since there was a "0.13.1 Part1".

And if Part2 is part of the version, then it should really be "0.13.1.Part2"
Or I guess change the order... "0.13.Part2.0" would be fine...

Yah I'm a pedantic nitpicker, what of it??

I wrote him an entire script to be able to make update packages instead of releasing the whole thing every time and he completely ignored me. Good luck

 

[MecRec]

can someone share his save from last update pls , i lost my files...

 

[TrickyK]

The writing in this is probably the best out of any game I've played on this site. I'd put this on par with Gen Urobuchi's works. It's one of three games that I actually follow every update on.

Is it safe to guess that we'll get Osaka and Wakana as side characters soon? They've been set up in such a way that they can easily become part of other events. However, having their own events would be great.

 

[preskerd]

Anybody know if we have to progress with Kirin to progres in the story? I feel like there can be some bad things happen if Ayana ever founds out because of the 'thing' at the beach. Then again I already feel like a piece of shit because we've cheated with so many girls anyways. But the ones most hurts are the girls who is clearly in love with Sensei and don't want to share him with anybody. There is only handfull of girls who maybe willing to share Sensei

Dude if the game gives me option to 'choose one girl, stay with her forever and never cheat on her' I would gladly take it. Most of the times I would want to fuck every girl I like in adult games but in this game I do feel bad when I cheat on them because how characters incredibly written and feels alive. I don't want to hurt them. But it's what it is . I'm willing to watch how Sensei get them all (Sex scenes are hot and the girls are beutiful . Can't complain much ). I invested to much in the story and I'm loving it

Just go for it. Some of girls already suspect Sensei of debauchery, what can you do. Internalize Sensei and go for it.

 

[Budoop]

Real talk. Can we get a concise list of which f95-related games Molly has played, she's clearly played some and we know Heroes' Harem Guild is canon in the LiL universe.

Could she stumble across this game?

 

[thefetussundae]

Between you and me, I think her father is already dead. She just in deep denial about it and probably hooked his withering corpse to some weird machine. Don't tell Noodles I said it.

Her father is the Emperor?


Checks out

 

[SnowyS]

No, you just don't understand version numbers. There's extremely common misconception that it's a technical thing. It may seem so, because most people go with something simple and boring. But it's actually more like religious thing. It it makes sense to me as author, then it's definitely correct, and everyone who doesn't like it is wrong.

I wrote him an entire script to be able to make update packages instead of releasing the whole thing every time and he completely ignored me. Good luck

Artists... what can you do, right?

Really, writing out and posting my suggestion here is already a satisfying result for me. Whether it's taken or even read is a side issue. Everyone's got their thing. For some people it's headpats, for me occasionally voluntarily overanalyzing something inconsequential is a pleasure. Definitely better than the involuntary type

Hope you had fun writing the script at least!

Yes, some weird machine, with all of the wires, twisting and turning strangling. But those wires are there for a reason.

They're there to stop him from dying even though he's already dead, we all are. To stop him from growing. Like a Tree!

PRAISE BE!

praise be!

edit: considering some of my last few posts in this thread, I get the feeling that I probably should stop trying to emulate Sel's style, otherwise in a few weeks time my posts here will consist of 40% images of static, 30% struckthrough "PRAISE BE!"s, and 30% hexadecimal ascii

Notice: Probably not gonna be around here for the next couple weeks since I’m finally on break and don’t particularly enjoy helping people who pirate the game.

If anyone has any questions regarding the public version, feel free to check in on the Discord. Any Patreon/SS supporters with questions regarding that version can find me there as well.

Thanks!

 

[cckerberos]

There is a guide somewhere in this thread

It's in the OP (which I've definitely told you before).

 

[loto_ortega]

At least the popular games that leak early still seem to have a ton of subscribers

I'm sure there's more than one person who has downloaded a leaked version and then supported the game. Heck, I didn't even catch up to the content in the leaked version at the time before I joined his Patreon.

 

[Cool'Thulhu]

So... this thread have a fair share of theories but i'd still like to share mine :

This game kinda reminds me of Pervert Action: Legacy, in this game you are a young master who have to train virgin maids to defeat a monster at end... the same thing right?
the similarities start to happen when a few strange things happen and makes you question if reality its not what it seams, but the cool thing is that they only appear if you actually look for it, so there a lot of "normal" endings, all girls have one and there threesome ones too, at the end of the ending some letters are shown and if you find all, you unlock the REAL ending (HAREM), and uncover that you are actually in facility where you and the girls are kept in a matrix-like simulation, i don1t remember why or explanation behind it, but I though that it was pretty cool ideia and I think maybe there something similar happening in this game, with all those glitches, connections, users, wires...

(BTW if i remember correctly, something similar happened in It's a New World Out There)

I linked the respective game threads if someone was interested... even with the spoilers .

 

[alex2011]

If it resets, just do 'em all again.

No matter how many times you do it, they'll just reset from pregnant to not pregnant, though.

I just played the game and i love it. I just want to ask if the game does have Netorare or will have Netorare in the future upadates? I just dont want to fell inlove in the game and feel depressed in the future coz it will have netorare at some point.
And Netorase too big no no.

Netori at best IF the one girl's husband is still alive. There is another who has feelings for another girl, but no actual relationship, so she technically doesn't count.

He's probably banging alien chicks like Maki's husband...

I'm sure this comment will be mostly ignored, but it's been bothering me so I'm posting it anyway. I enjoy this game a lot, it's well written in general, and the characters are diverse and well thought out.
Except for one glaring error - Molly. It's not too much of a stretch to guess the dev's probably American, but I have to say, as an actual Irish person, Molly's character is almost painful. There's a section where you brought up stereotypes, and the effects they have. Well, unfortunately you've fallen into them. Molly talks like a Scot, the stereotypes you've brought up are American stereotypes, and in Japan, the most common issue Irish people run into are "Isn't that part of England?", and "That's the country beside Greenland, right?"
This is probably a really minor issue for you, I just wanted to bring it up because her stories actually make me uncomfortable, she's that far off.

In case you're curious of a few things - red hair is actually still super rare in Ireland. Americans call it the Emerald Isle, actual Irish people only do that for tourists. The majority religion is catholic, and almost nobody follows ancient celtic superstitions, not even in our super-old Irish Only Area. I haven't seen you do it, but about 85% of Ireland doesn't speak Irish fluently, it's largely a dead language. (Edit: I've never been proven wrong so fast. The only person I've ever heard attempt curse in Irish is my long-dead great-grandfather who fought in the Rising)

I don't expect a reply, or even for anyone to actually read this comment, I just wanted to get it out there, especially since there's an actual section of her plot about stereotyping being bad, while her character is also a bad stereotype. Perhaps there's some poetic irony there.

I honestly thought the character was playing up the stereotypes on purpose, and that was where the conversation about them originated from.

Molly’s north Irish from near Armagh- where my grandmother immigrated from and where my mother was born. She’s intentionally blown out of proportion, just like every other character I write. It’s a comedy video game and comedy is subjective.

I figured the stereotyping is intentional, hence the whole stereotype thing being brought up.

This is really well written game wow...i dont usually play horor theme or dark in here but even thought i am bit distracted the tone sometimes i enjoy playing . I like how every girl has different personality and own quirks i think they are called all those jokes and what evers XD i just love them goods i have lost a count how many times i laugh

I cant wait what else we have in store and i definatelly keep eye this game for future updates.

They are definitely well written and unique.

I'm really starting to hope that Tsuneyo is actually nowhere near as innocent and sheltered as she seems and that it's all schadenfraude. I really hope she is just fucking with everybody.

I have a feeling she really is and that she comes from a strict household. It sounds like it, at least.

I think I found a bug, sorry if it's been pointed out. You can still get a thighjob from Ami through the invite over menu if you locked yourself out of her content.

Good catch

Drogorn
Molly may be made in ireland, but thats all. She lives in her own world, plays characteres and shows various personalitys around the clock...its possible she plays the role on purpose to fit into the stereotype ^^

Oh boy does she, no wonder even the in game people can't understand her half the time since she tends to talk in fantasy terms, not real world terms.

Yah I'm a pedantic nitpicker, what of it??

It'll get fixed in March, when 0.14.0 comes out.

Looking back on this; I was apprehensive in doing Rin's current events, even down to not wanting to do the 4th one, but I forgot I was doing it on my "Good Homie" save. Man, I'm dreading doing it on my "Bad Homie" save, even more so that I haven't played it since Halloween.

Bruh, these mini Happy Scenes might cause me to develop an anxiety disorder.

Especially since MY bad homie save is still in the middle of freaking "Detention" and nowhere near the end, that and having seen how amazing the last event turned out to be on a good homie save, I wouldn't want to ruin that feeling. Is it a problem that I now see both Chika and the other girl, whose name I won't mention because patron version, as a threat?

I saw some comments calling this game "denpa game" what does it even mean?

From VNDB: Denpa games are a subgenre of horror eroge, popularised by the 1996 Leaf game 'Shizuku' which also lent the genre its name. The typical model is a horror story where the catalyst for the events that occur are based on familiar people acting in unfamiliar, yet seemingly orchestrated ways. Stories where the world seems to have gone mad; and the protagonist is not necessarily an exception. The name comes from the idea that electromagnetic waves (denpa) is causing people to act strangely (although it is rarely anything that mundane).

What their definition doesn't say is that they are also well known for their overall story getting very dark with very little chance of actual happiness even as an ending, though sometimes these games add a true ending that ends happy.

Damn, I do wonder how different Rin events are if you are a bad homie. They are probably less of a cute romcom.

Yeah, Tojo Ramen is weird as well. Leaving other things aside, you even get a happy event out of trying to visit it on a certain day.

I really don't want to find out, I'm dreading it, but I must if I want to see everything.

Between you and me, I think her father is already dead. She just in deep denial about it and probably hooked his withering corpse to some weird machine. Don't tell Noodles I said it.

Too late, Noodles knows all. Anyway, him being dead is entirely possible with the genre of this game, stranger has happened already.

For everyone who doesn’t have a bad homie save and is wondering what happens in these new Rin events if you were a bad homie:

Just reading that is heartbreaking, I'm not sure I can take it and that's saying a lot since I can take just about anything. That was an amazing moment on the good homie path.

Absolutely yes, I couldn't agree more with that assessment. I'm not sure about soon, but they probably will get them at some point.

Anybody know if we have to progress with Kirin to progres in the story? I feel like there can be some bad things happen if Ayana ever founds out because of the 'thing' at the beach. Then again I already feel like a piece of shit because we've cheated with so many girls anyways.

I invested to much in the story and I'm loving it

There is a plan for purity routes that, if I remember correctly, are single girl focused, but it will be a while. As for Kirin, it would be a good idea to grind them all equally even if you don't pursue their lust events, which are technically optional as lust events are among the types that are missable and missable events aren't used as prerequisites for the main story as that risks totally locking progress.

It's in the OP (which I've definitely told you before).

Yes, I keep forgeting since I pretty much never go back to the OP. I always have the SubsribeStar open, so I don't need the OP links.

I'm sure there's more than one person who has downloaded a leaked version and then supported the game. Heck, I didn't even catch up to the content in the leaked version at the time before I joined his Patreon.

That's how I started and I can't say I regret playing it leaked at first because that is how I was able to ensure the game was up to the level I need it to be at to allow my limited gaming funds to go toward it. If I hadn't had the moment that earned this game a spot on my support list because I wasn't playing it leaked, which by extension would have meant not playing at all, it never would have made my list and I would not be a patron today.

A suggestion for when you return, for a minor QoL tweak to your already far above-average UX. Unseen events which feature H-scenes seem to be marked with a pink color, but this is no longer visible once the event is unlocked. Have you considered using a different color for these events when seen and available to pick from the event selection screen? There is no way to distinguish them from other already-seen events as-of now (unless this is already fixed in the patreon-only version).

The limited amount of colours to use in the palette of the game makes it a bit hard to have it be both intuitive, aesthetically pleasing and easily discernible, but even something as simple as changing the color of the highlighted event when hovering over it from (its current) pink, reserving pink highlights for events with H-scenes would be an improvement (since there isn't enough event clutter for each girl that hovering over each event and checking takes more than a few seconds). Personally I would use an icon instead of having color be significant, but I'm sure you would probably have done that already if it were a simple addition (and it's certainly less elegant than colours).

Enjoy your well-earned vacation.

I don't really see a point to that since lust events, or any event with a sex scene really, are also separated into their own list, the "replay" section of each girl's profile. Pink is already reserved for any non-invite event that contains some sort of sexual content. The icon idea may not be a problem now, but there will be MANY more events to come yet and it might eventually get to the point of becoming a problem. This is going to be a multiple year project with multiple panned routes.
