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

[shmurfer]

Reached the ch2 winter beach event "Everything Ephemeral", saw the image spam at the end of it and saw one of them has a really hard message to read. Didn't get much results for the image name (everythingg7) or "Everything Ephemeral" in the search so this might be a message people had missed. I got rid of most of the "please stop playing the game, things will only get worse' pixels" (though there are some I missed, the second image makes them a bit easier to see), then whitened the distorted words which made it pretty readable.

Spoiler: whitened text

When I imported the image into the editor the horizontal bars lit up bright white instead of the dull grey they appear as in my image preview. Found out it's because they're very transparent pixels and I had left a layer of white below the image. Gonna leave it here incase it's actually morse code or something but I don't think Sel's ever tryharded enough to leave a message like that in the game.

Spoiler: Just the horizontal bars whitened

How old are you to think TV is still a thing among youngsters?

Well, I'm in my mid 20's. It probably wasn't very popular 10 years ago either and now it's probably a ghost time. I just think cartoon should still be somewhat relevant for those who haven't discovered the wonderful world of watching ad free anime on a computer or Youtube. I dunno... Probably just out of touch.

There is a event where you're invited to Wakana's apartment, and then leave the apartment with Osako. If you have seen it you should be allowed to visit Osako at the Gym, otherwise yeah it is a bug. I don't think you'd be too far from unlocking it though.

Yep. Haven't seen that yet but something like that will happen sooner or later.

I believe it's reversed, awkwardly translated latin

Caelum is a thing apparently but no hits on the other. So I can't translate that on my own I don't think.

That's the awkward bit.

I think he was just trying to avoid the macron but it added so much confusion instead.

ATTENTION SELEBUS: I am contacting you indirectly by radio frequency so the damn Reds don't pick up on our transmissions. Here's the scoop: just tried recommending Lessons in Love to someone and they said they wouldn't play a game that hasn't updated in over a year. I say what the hell, Lessons in Love has the best-damn release schedule ever seen among wegs and got an update just a couple days ago in fact. They say check the itch.io page, game's dead Jim. Hell's bells, fine, I do. And using quick wits I determine the problem.



Bzzrt... You still on? You gotta post new development logs, man, even if you don't include anything but a download link. I don't know all the nuances here but I can't imagine there's any red tape here. You're losin' readers!

Hm? What's that? All I hear is static... hold your damn horses, I'm turning the dial! Alright, alright, message received: "What kind of retard is so unobservant they wouldn't look 2 inches up and see the latest download link was posted only 78 days ago? Hell, I don't want anyone that stupid playing my game anyway. If I don't want to do dev logs I'm not about to start for plebs. And definitely not after being advised to by a guy I have on my ignore list like everyone else. That'd make me seem pliable to external forces."

SENDING REPLY... Don't give me that, man! You know it's sophistry! It's a natural god-damn human tendency to always justify inaction: my momma taught me it was called 'rat-ion-a-li-zation.' Look up the 2009 article 'Beware Trivial Inconveniences' on Lesswrong dot com! You wanna minimize any obstacle to user acquisition and retention whatsoever! What seems trivial to you could be causing untold damage! Don't you want more readers?

Bzbbzzzzzrt... Listen guy, first of all, fuck you. Second of all, someone likely told me this in the past one point five years and I ignored it then. Get a clue: there's a good reason that dev log isn't updating. I'm dialing off this frequency. Drink full and descend, bitch.

Don't you da- Selebus? Selebus, god damnit! Answer..... Fine. You know what, fine. Nobody ever said shilling a game for free was ever going to be easy. If that's how you wanna be: so be it then! I'll just take my copy-paste file and add "DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE STAGNENT DEVELOPMENT LOG: ITCH.IO CHARGES $1,000 PER UPDATE AND HAS FORCED THE DEVELOPER TO HAVE A HALF-ABANDONED PAGE DESPITE HIS ABSOLUTELY 100% OOZING PASSION FOR THE GAME AND ALSO LOVE FOR THE PLAYERBASE. DO NOT BE PUT OFF. KINO AWAITS."

I wish going to a character's page and looking at their events would also list main events where they appear. Been playing this game for years and it's hard to remember certain character's events.

And the fact that it would make it an easier and more pleasant experience for the reader pretty much guarantees that this feature will not be added.

 

[TBone9]

Dunno if there's a distinction between rabbit and bunny, tho.

There is in the Playboy mansion.

So I take it I will have to replay this update on my effected save next month? I guess I could edit some variables but without knowing exactly what will be changed I think it will be easier just to replay it and skip through everything.

The Tsukasa proposed solution is basically like this:

if tsukasarefused == True and tsukasacurious == True:
    tsukasacurious = False

That means, you can just use URM to set the tsukasacurious flag to false and go about your day.

 

[TBone9]

Uhhh, Yasu makes all the other students seem normal in comparison... There is something seriously wrong with this girl and I'm not entirely convinced she's even human...

You are still progressing through the story, right? She does get humanized more as time goes by and she will have several scenes where she acts so cute you will forget how weird she is.

 

[TBone9]

Ngl, I would love to see Akira change character for once, like Sana does during the DnD bits, and be a super chivalrous and energetic Paladin or something.
Or I mean, he could just begrudgingly partake in the DnD sessions and make crude comments and try to fuck every enemy into submission with his "giant club" as his main weapon.

Either way, I'm sure it would be pretty funny.

The second scenario seems much more in character for Akira, because the first one requires him to overcome his laziness and apathy enough to understand DnD lore so he knows how a Paladin is supposed to behave. But I totally agree that either way would be very funny.

So I guess sometimes the game feels like a purity route anyway. Even though it's rare.

Edit: Thinking back, Makoto's first kiss also felt like something out of a purity route, even more so due to the fact that it serves as a redo of "bluejay" with a happy ending.

Spoiler: forgot the name of the event, it's in chapter 3

Now we've confirmed Sana has invite home events, I wonder if this insinuates Rin is going back to her OG hairstyle (or at least fan favorite) before she gets invited home.

It's also stuck at version 0.44. Since I only downloaded it from itch.io (convenience and out of respect to not download it on the first release day), I didn't notice that 0.45 was already publicly available since Nov 1 until early December. One reason why I will download it from here from now on.

If it helps, as far as I am aware all past update only patches are available on Selebus's SS page if you wind up missing one.

If first kisses come close to what purity ends may look like, then I have a theory...

Oh, I know. I'm also not blaming Selebus. He has probably more pressing priorities right now other than updating a glorified downloader ( comments, etc. on itch are disabled). I just wanted to mention that the game probably shouldn't be downloaded from itch.io at this point.

Yeah. I'm at 26 days of playing today and I don't think I'm even half way through chapter 2 and I don't know how much of chapter 4 is complete but I will probably be mid way through chapter 2 by the 30 day mark. So 1 and a half extra chapters from there will be 2 months, then anywhere from 15-20 days or so for chapter 4. It's wild to think I've been playing for only 26 days and I'm not even half way through.

I made a little extra calculation. If the average person reads at my speed and don't skip anything but they play for only 6 hours(which is still a lot), they should be spending one entire year playing the game in one playthrough by the time the game is finished. So 2 years for 3 hours, 6 years for 1 hour, although at that point you will probably have forgotten what happen in the past if your memory is also like mine...

... You went back 18,000 posts for this?

I cannot believe you of all people would place this knife in my back like this!

Kitty Hawk please fix.

I don't see any need to fix it. Ayane and Kaori seem to be handling one another's cock really well. Especially Ayane since Kaori's cock is bigger than hers.

wasn't Todd ritually sacrificed (by Himawari ?) so that Ayane could survive the 5th reset? Yumi finds him alongside Akira right before "Dec 28 2020", then he starts blacking out from seeing Todd.

I don't remember if he ever got back to life (via reset), still on the second half of chapter 3 on the replay.
