I wondered what that drm thing was. Is it still being uploaded on the site and should you be using the disable drm patch? And yeah, I found that Chika thing. Think that's part of the reason why I said he was talking badly about the mods. Honestly this whole thing just sounds like massive greed alert. I mean that's obvious, he got most of the success from here after all. Not sure what else to say about the situation but it is what it is.
You only need the DRM patch if you want to load care packages that you have not paid for into the game, and we'd recommend against doing this anyway cause you'd need to reapply it every update, and nothing's stopping Sel from adding a new piece of DRM to do the same thing. Safest way is to download the care packages and read the scripts in notepad or something, and then look at the images.

Though I think before the end of this game I'll probably buy the care packages legit. My save is kind of becoming a 100% Run and those would be a part of it (though if I put them in now I'd break compatibility if I wanted to share it)
No, the horror tag is perfectly justified now. Fuck that.
I'd agree. When I was trying to get you to start the game I only argued against jumpscares in the style of the old precision mouse game where you'd put your mouse through a thin corridor and then the exorcist appears and screams at you. There's none of that, but the static blips can absolutely startle you I guess. Those kinds of things are just white noise to me.

Was speaking to all of them, as understand this update's is one of a short series of hidden events.
AKAIK that list is correct. It's just harder to arrange since most people ask about all events Himawari appears which is both more than that list, but also she doesn't appear in Miserably Ever After
I don't fucking know.

I have been worried about this all the time, I want to make sure there is always a true save to fall back to, but I have no idea if Ayane's easter egg flags are a trap or meant to be achieved. I don't know if Selebus is trying to create pre-update flags that can detect if you checked a box before implementing something new and punish you for using DRM or tinkering with the game's files directly. This would in theory, have been Sensei-Quest's job, but I find it much easier to fix this than having seen an easter egg.
What do you consider a true save? Does the presence of the guide mod screw it up (since once you start using guide mod you can't stop)

I can share some variant of Ayane love grinding at the point where it becomes important whether we have it or not. Right now it's just speculation, and I feel like acting too early can poison the results.

Exactly, not as it is now.

All it takes is for the game to be coded in such a way that getting into ayane's Easter egg is considered a "chain" without triggering any actual flags and you have a completely different reality in your hands.

Worst case scenario, I change the program
As a programmer, he already has what he needs to do this. He's already used the technique several times in the game.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

All he'd have to do is use the same technique he's already using to show you this event. I don't think the first two 'events' had anything important but he could check for 2000 love before the 3000 if there was something important. Considering the lack of important dialogue in the himawari ramen event, he could just treat it as people watched it the first time and let it fly over people's heads if they didn't. As for this latest event, he can check for both >= 3000 Ayane love AND Mayablock = false. And there's nothing stopping him from hiding that check in the next update to the game in some random file as soon as 0.47 starts and then he doesn't need to maintain Mayablock. Though considering the plot, it's unlikely for Mayablock to be naturally removed any time soon so he could just let it ride (or just set it before naturally unsetting it, it'd be a smoking gun but we're already looking for them anyway)


Hard decisions make strong Senseis. Strong Senseis must have a strong will. I must have hurt Io but i know that somehow this will make her better (coping as hard as i can to have an excuse to keep going the green path)
Don't forget Hard Sensei's make Strong Decisions.

Seems like Sel did TWO oopsie woopsie this update.
EDIT: Scratch that, it's three.

The mayablock being lifted only by the "hidden" scene reeks of a coding mistake, because the code is almost the same in both routes:

Besides, and this is no coding error but lazyness, with mayablock lifted you can go to Maya's dorm generics, but the text is the fucking same as before:

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

OR PERHAPS Selebus didn't change the dorm text because the mayablock was supposed to stay active, and only deactivated as an easter egg for URM users or code scavengers? Who fucking knows.

Like Niki once said kids fucking suck! I couldn't start the update until now since i had to babysit my own "coven of wizards"
I believe the collective noun in this case is a council of wizards. Coven is for witches which the girls might be but we've had this discussion/debate and it was a bit of a mess so lets just ignore all of that and quickly settle on 'council' yeah? :LOL:

I start the update late and now my naming convention is wrong. I cant take anymore disappointment. What's next somebody gonna tell me that Rinworld doesn't exist??

I'd say it's the other way around, and the missing replay tag is the bug while releasing mayablock is intended. Otherwise there would have been no reason to duplicate most of the text at that point. He could have hidden it behind the check itself if both routes were supposed to set the same flags. I would imagine next set of maya events will have a check for a certain amount of maya_love that'd be impossible to have without the chance to farm it outside of mayablock.

That said (and this is usually too big of a brain move for Selebus) it could be a elaborate way to hide a event (which isn't in the game yet). We've seen the start of meta events like this with Alexis. Next one could be a event you can only see if you experience another piece of content in replay mode when you're not supposed to be in it

So I read through a little bit(to be aware of 3000 affection Ayane events), just getting around to downloading the update. This thread updates A LOT though so that would be a lotta scrolling...are these events autoplay or do they need specific things/a guide? Picked the uhh...."fuck Io" route as well so think i'm gonna on not missing anything related to that/

Most of the christmas event starts on a friday if you have seen enough of the other events and is a chain. There's also a otoha hangout event and one more random one somewhere.

Alright seems simple enough to follow I think. Also for URM trying to change the affection value but can't find it..what do I type in again?

Edit: Nvm I forgot it's love not affection
