Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.48.0] [Selebus]

[Deleted member 382758]

Well things are slow so now is probably a good time to state some of the things I noted as interesting while re-reading chapter one:

1. "feed him to nozomu"
An interesting implication, having been said by the angels it delineates HOPE from nozomu.
Nozomu may be the 'Azathoth' (the blind idiot God that is potentially dreaming the world into creation) of this pantheon.

2. Had forgotten about "Six"- another version of Maya found in Hope's dimension but apparently not the same as Maya.
(she is 'an honorary angel')

3. Maya can't go to the old district?

4. There is some word that starts with the letter T that is hinted at several times.
Is also stated as starting the name of an old friend.
(Sensei's brother? Just a guess since I didn't pay enough attention to it at first)

Didn't think much of it till it was mentioned again when you 'bad homie' Rin

"We can’t help who we fall in love with."
"But we can help falling in love."
"And love is such a confusing word."
"The worst word that doesn’t begin with the letter T."

5. Seems like a pretty direct answer to this, guess I just overlooked it previously.

Also, I think angel 1 and 2 are basically wearing the skins of Ami and Maya in this scene and its not literally them or wtvr
(because of the ssssssssssssssssssssss kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk and general tone)
but I can't be sure when it comes to the happy events.

Talking about Ami's mother of course, but the way 'her' is used here means that the sentence could be implying that Ami's mother, Sekai, 'the world' is also a God god. Which... I don't see what else she could be after having been teased so much.
'God is dead but also alive' has been said outright before.

 

[barglenarglezous]

The scenes the first time through generally aren't, but in replays/invite overs they are

More accurately -- story events are never animated. Those are the ones that appear on any of the events lists and can be replayed from the tracker.

The repeatable scenes will appear as a menu when you visit, call, or invite over a girl, and all of those are animated, but do not appear in the event list and cannot be replayed on demand through thet tracker system.

I wonder if Sel finally managed to create leak-proof releases with Patreon "help", lmao.

"god" should not always be taken literally.

What is a god, but the entity upon which we have build our world. The judeo-christian belief structure reserves this notion exclusively to the creator archetype, but metaphorically (and this game is HEAVY on metaphors), a god could be a lover, a parent, or an idol.

Sekai -- "world" could be a term of endearment. We most often see it used to refer to Ami's mother, but there are a couple of rare moments where Sensei is addressed by the name. I don't think it's an actual name at all, I think it was Sensei's and Ami's Mother's pet name for one another.

Ami's mother was Sensei's world -- his god.

But Maya's god? Well, that's Sensei. She built this whole world around him. The god who fucked everything into being then died, but isn't dead. Maya specifically says that every iteration of Sensei has wound up sleeping around. If you're seeing all the content in the game, this version of Sensei is ESPECIALLY sleeping around. But then he died without dying -- which is what watching the one person you care about die feels like. Sensei is Nozomu. Maya's desire.

As for the letter T -- whose names starts with T? Tsuneyo, and her father. Shit gets wierd whenever Sensei gets near the room her father is kept in. I suspect all the letter T references are tied to that room.

I have a question about the game: I'm playing it and I already got to Sex scenes that should be animated. But it's just pictures and nothing moves even though there are particular video files in the images folder. What am I doing wrong here? ._.

Which scene is it?

If it was the result of a "Hang Out" dorm visit, it will not be animated.

I'm not sure if I get this right. I also installed the Gallery mod where story events aren't replayable but Replays are. There the replays also feature no animation whatsoever even though they should or am I still wrong? Sorry if I might appear stupid. Just trying to understand what to expect.

p.s.: Got an event at the bar where I head sex with the girl working there. No animations during the scene. Not sure if thats correct.

Okay, since you've unlocked that sex scene -- that static scene was a story scene (side girl story). YOu can replay that static scene in the base game by going into the menu, selecting Side Girls, then that character, then that scene's title.

But it will still be a static scene without animations.

HOWEVER, once that scene finished, you unlocked an animated scene with that girl. Now, when it asks you what you want to do at night, you can go to the bar, and it will then give you a new option (before, you had Hang out with Sana or Hang out with Sara, now you'll also have a sex act with Sara listed). if you select that, you should get an animated scene with her.

You can repeat that scene on any other night by going to the bar and selecting that option. No limit. each time will increase her Lust score.

Later, if you get her Affection high enough, you'll unlock other static sex scenes. Forsome of those, a new optioni on that hang out menu will be unocked when you visit the bar. Those will also be animated.

Not every static sex scene unlocks an animated one, but most of them do.

In the spoiler, I included a screen shot of what going to the bar will look like once you're fully caught up.

Thank you very much, this answer was pretty helpful!

Yeah I assume it would be much harder to leak it through patreon now, but the very few people who were subbed on subscribestar should be able to do it.

And possibly also the gamepass thing he did? I don't really know much about that option.

i really doubt anyone who spent money on the gamepass would risk it. XD

Glad you got things worked out.

The shortcut keys mentioned in the readme still don't work, but I can click on the options on the screen when I get to it.

another question: How do I get new outfits for the girls to change them for the scenes? Haven't finde out so far.

Use PC (Computer) on saturday or sunday (right after waking up), though keep in mind that the changed outfits are for Invite events only.

Thanks dude!

p.s.: I'm kind of stuck since I don't know what do do in the game anymore. I installed the Progress mod and in most of the cases it says "requirements met" but not what I should do next or it says "Needs main story to progress". The only real "task" that is open is "call Chinami in the afternoon" which I did for like 30 times, at least her affection is over 30. Don't know what to do anymore...

pps.: Who is Maki? In Sanas case it requires progress with Maki. A girl I haven't even met so far.

Help is appreciated once again!

Maki is Makoto's mother. I don't remember how she's introduced, but it will either be at the Bar or Porn Shop.

This is the core frustration of the game, is that sometimes the next step is not obvious.

1) On a weeknight, call each girl you can. If you get a generic event, roll back and call someone else.
2) Then go to the dorms. Talk to each of the girls in the hallway, and if it's a generic event, roll back.
3) Then knock on each door and visit each girl in turn. If you get the generic event, roll back.
4) Then pick Go Somewhere, and work your way down each location and option (if your'e trying to advance, skip the ones that lead to animted scenes for now, they don't directly advance the plot, they just accumulate Lust points to unlock later sex scenes). If you get a generic event, roll back and try the next one.
5) If none of that works, do whatever until Saturday, and try to call each girl in turn like you did in step 1, rollling back if you get a generic event, then try visiting each girl in the morning. If that doesn't work, repeat this step in the afternoon, then night. And just in case, try again on Sunday, because I honestly can't remember if there are scenes that ONLY trigger on oneday or the other, but if you're still stuck after going through every single option on Saturday, try on Sunday.

Some scenes require you to visit or call someone during a time they're not normally available, but this is never called out.

Also -- if you see an option that doesn't make sense, try it. Those usually point to hidden scenes.

Yep. This game is in dire need of in-game walkthrough. Its not a puzzle anymore, its just a chore to check everything. Most people play this game like reading a book and its quite a hassle to search for a needed page to progress (you know, like the ones that says on page 53 "Check page 112" or something, but this one just ask us to search by ourselves without even giving general direction, and on we go, searching for thing we dont even know through the whole book until we miraculosly encounter it). Yeah, one of the most frustraiting things in this game. Thankfully there was a wiki. Imagine playing this game and never even know about a wiki?

I mean....I did?

I know about the wiki NOW, but when I became aware of it I was already caught up with the current (at the time) content, and by the time the wiki updates after a new patch, I've already done it,so the wiki hasn't been of actual use to me. I can't even really use it as a reference to help remember details since it's a spoiler-free wiki.

It's great for people needing to get caught up, though.
