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

[Bingoogus]

Hear me out: What if the next headpat is with Nodoka? Remember how she hugged Akira and wished she had done that a long time ago? She asked Akira to stop her from researching, what if he does that through the wholesome route?

Edit: And honestly, never saw this coming, and it will be a win for DeSkel for me to say it, but I really hope Nodoka gets some rest. Poor girl deserves it.

I... fucken hell... i really want this now... just methodically patting her head as her super brain tries to understand it only to be forcefully switched off due to a primal base reaction, for her to experience a hereto foreign state of mind for her... peace...

I remember the first time i got proper messed up by a domme, physically abused until i entered subspace... the peace i found in there was incredible, for the first time in my life my brain switched off, all the autistic ADHD bullshit just washed away and i floated in a warm soothing cloud of nothingness... totally worth not being able to sit down for a few days cause my ass was purple

 

[Riolol]

I'm really not

Also, just to address many of the posts I have not been reacting to regarding theories and overall impressions of the last update, I'll be doing that in one go as things calm down. There's a lot to go over.

OK if one of them is ugly it can be NTR

Is Yumi secretly a sith lord?

That was Mostly a joke regarding Yumi I still don't have any idea what that's about. But I think the color is closest to the pink of Ami's name. I am starting to see some Ami, Old One and Orb through lines but I don't necessarily want to jump on them because they are pretty loose fitting connections. I will try to write some of them out and post them later.

[coradio]

[LessonsInDissonance]

Once I get back to the room that's all there is the the update right? I can't find any missing events for any girls but there's a suspicious ??? in happy events

 

[Meskal1ne]

Ayane and Yumi may have went pop (from Makoto's perspective) then ended up running into a Maya Prime (during the Reset), then got swallowed by HOPE (during the Reset after reaching that versions roof), though. Ayane having that Maya Prime's scarf, yet memories of the Ayane that went pop would suggest this.

There is no Maya Prime in 0.45. She is still in well i think (or really erased).
We saw copy of Maya Prime without last two years, but this is not the girl we have been watching since the beginning of the game.

 

[Josh M Spicer]

Personally I just don't like the scene because I'm tired of Selebus putting Ami on a pedestal every single update constantly, like damn other girls exist too.
At least there's finally some pay-off for all these warnings Maya was handing out about Ami supposedly killing people just because, about time that happened.

A lotta things in the game seem like Sel just like to focus on one girl or convolute the entire process just so he can have a power flex and ban people for "not reading" as if the things he's writing make any sort of sense at a face value.

a little worried the most recent update cheapened some past maya scenes, e.g. beach. i think that's where the game was at its strongest

hope the trend doesn't continue

I don't think they have. The Mayas we've seen since weren't the Maya that the MCAkira fell in love with. That Maya is (theoretically) dead/erased from existence.

The NuMaya we've gotten since and the the AltMaya we saw in the last update could be and (for the sake of character progression) probably should be considered different characters.

That's a happy event that can only be seen now in the Amy mall event, and it won't work during a replay. Search the thread for Alexis to find the discussion, I'd recommend using URM and just jumping to the label

To add to that, because it's unique: This event is tied to two 'persistent' variables, meaning it isn't tied to a save, it exists outside of saves, you can do it in one save and it will be unlocked for all of them. This means you can just freely jump to it from wherever in the game, finish it and then just close the game without saving, no save of any kind is needed, it's all hidden in the background code.

I feared it might be a classic Selly trap but i think you're just meant to see it when doing a full replay of the game, a sort of easter egg. It doesn't seem to do anything but make it available and then tick it off as having been seen, i'm quite unsure how you could tie it into a Selly trap later on without a good deal of risk for non 'cheating' players.

 

[Marie IV]

It's kind of crazy to think that way back when at the start of the thread that Selebus wanted to let the player give Sensei a name but just didn't for technical and story reasons ("why would students be calling their teacher by his first name / when did he even tell them his name"), then over time this transitioned instead to the lust name system. This is really interesting to think about in terms of self-insertion and how, at this point post ch1 rework, naming Sensei would be unfathomable - what intention with Sensei may have changed in the rework? It is also food for thought when it comes to the very fact that we have ownership of defining Sensei's name/identity only in lustful contexts. Now what thematic resonance might that have?

The "God" with the most agency in the game is still us so I still don't think that it would be farfetched to incorporate a naming system into this, even with the context we have now. I think the only reason why we were never going to get one in the first place was to seperate the "user's" identity from Akira early on and thats that. Selebus didn't want players self-identifying with Akira because Akira is strictly meant to be a vessel for us, not us.

From what I've seen, if I finish the ending of update 0.45 where the narrator talks about how we've all come so far and other sappy lines I'll be able to replay the game and meet alexis. That's too easy to see for it to be a Selly trap.

 

[Moonflare]

the only trap in this game is himawari.

in more ways than one. just kidding... unless? where is kittyhawk

 

[LoveRedHairedGirl]

You know, I still believe Selebus will add another 5 characters into side cast.
Himawari will have her own profile, I guess. Resurected Sekai might have it too. Who else... Rin's second mom might appear there (so adult party will try to fix another lesbian party once more). We have 2 more free spaces... What about Ayane's mom? And... I don't have any idea who would be 5th and last side cast character.
But, like, there is no way Himawari and Sekai won't have their own profiles in the side cast list in the future. They are really important to the story and everything just hints on Sekai's possible ressurection. And Selebus won't even need to overplan everything since Sekai and Himawari already have a strong personality and their aims. The same towards Rin's second mom, though she is just a name without proper personality now. Yet still!

Nozomu is both of Rin's bio parents, naturally.

I'm referring to this Maya from last update:

The Maya who is the only person aware of the Resets in her timeline, and probably strangled a Sensei to death with a rope, after fucking who knows how many others to death (albeit, our Maya Prime did that too).

She's a Maya Prime, as in she's similar to the Maya Prime you're referring to, while still distinguishable. The Main (from our perspective) Maya Prime (the one you're referring to) seemingly got fucked to death by our Sensei. Hence why I used "a" and "that", instead of "our".

There's apparently been a lot of Maya Primes and New Mayas, according to this Ami (who I've also referred to as Ami Prime for simplicities sake):

We also might have a New New Maya now, depending upon what's revealed about Maya next.

 

[Meskal1ne]

We also might have a New New Maya now

we can find her in dorms during generic event and raise some affection right now.
