Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.49.0] [Selebus]

[Wardtnaci]

So I finally finished the update, and for Maya, I'm wondering if this is another fake-out situation like the end of the last chapter. I don't think Sel would pull the same thing twice in a row, and this time feels very final, but I also feel like he'd do it because it's the last thing we'd expect.

With Sel i wouldn't be so sure.
If you're through with the last update, you might remember the whole Ami situation some time ago.
How she went from clingy to yandere, maybe even psycho, to normal Ami and now back to yandere again.

So Maya showing up unchanged is nothing i would be surprised about.

With Maya this isn't a fake-out IMO, She is Reset. Sel has said that was where he was going with her story at this point. Now what type person she'll be, how she will act and what she remembers and knows is hard to say. I will guess that all her memories of time Before the Lockdown/SpaceWar and the subsequent Time Loops/Resets after are gone. More or less like Akira was at the start of the game. She'll probably behave the same, probably " A little more chipper". Akira is just Sensei(just a teacher) to her nothing more. She will treat Akira with same animosity and revulsion that she did in Chapter 1. It will probably be an Instinctive reaction with no knowledge as to why she defaults to it. Hopefully she'll be called out for it or she'll wonder why and struggles to figure out why. Things I hope to see in Chapter 4 is what I said above about her attitude towards Akira and her struggle to figure out why she defaults to it, playing the violin, and Akira giving her the green scarf in hopes of trigging lost memories.

And does anyone have any thoughts on the time we spent with Ayane? I was scared Ayane was getting too much plot armor, so I guess I'm glad it technically didn't happen, but was that the shape-shifter then?

Not Sure that's open to debate. I think that was the Broken World screwing with Akira's mind, tricking him into thinking he was progressing while keeping him in place until he snapped out of it(maybe). We'll find out next update as it will start with Akira trying to restart the World.

I think he got to the roof, met Ayane, then once Maya got there he blacked out and had black out sex with her.

Not quite exactly...(see below it's slightly edited from original)

What happened is that, @ the end of "The End of the World", Akira's mind was breaking when Maya came back into the Karaoke booth to take Akira back home to start his struggle to break free and journey to the roof. Except Maya got surprised by the state Sana was in and pause for a bit then Akira blacked out (probably puppet stringed into this state by GOD God god), tackled Maya, ripped her clothes off and began to have "Blackout Sex" with her (snapping out of it mid way to have a last moment with her. we don't see this yet) The Event Ends with a POP and Akira (blacking out again this time from the Pain of knowing he lost her) saying "Maya?" That POP is the moment she is Reset. We don't see then because we are hardly shown what happens when Akira blacks out (he's not aware of himself). We see that play out as a Flashback however @ the end of "Remember to Smile" for 2 possible reasons: 1. GOD God god made him remember to torment him in knowing what he lost. Or 2. Akira Forced himself to remember Maya and the promise he made to her before she POP'ed.

I will die on the blonde Chika hill...

Agreed, She doesn't look like Chika to me without her bleached blonde hair.

Selebus is posting previews even from vacation, so I think we should have this discussion right now or we could be just late for it: Which girl would be chapter 4 cover


My primary bet is Sana: she was set up during this chapter, her route was forced (i.e.

You must be registered to see the links

was skipable, but

You must be registered to see the links

wasn't), she is from first floor (it can be used as counter-argument as well, but netherless), she is set up to realy understand Sensei blackouts, which should be major chapter 4 arc. Also she is part of SLS now, where three first covers came from

Other bets: Makoto (doubtful, unless she would mmake it to the roof), Tsuneyo (second floor to balance first floor, her ability to keep memories through resets), Yasu/Nodoka (most doubful, but still possible)

I can definitely see all of those. Just to throw a possibly dark horse out there: Niki or Noriko.

I have a feeling the Nakayamas will play some kind of importance next chapter.

Except that in the event he presses her hands down "against the concret of the rooftop that she changed his life".

Not the karaoke booth floor but the rooftop, which implies they got to the rooftop before blacking out. Is what I believe at least.

 

[DeSkel15]

Btw, if anyone wants a positive(?) theory, instead of the usual depressing ones then: I think Noriko might play a part in helping Maya down the road.

Noriko is more or less the only character that would actually want Maya around besides Sensei. It's rather clear that while Maya absolutely despises her, Noriko cares about her:

It also just so happens to be, that the Nakayamas seem to be the best around, when it comes to bringing back the memories of those they care about:

Much to Maya's chagrin.

It's probably just wishful thinking, but Noriko being the one to bring Maya back, would definitely be something I'd like to see. I'm also sure it'd piss Maya off, lol.

In order to bring somebody back you have to sacrifice someone with equal value. Sure Maya would be pissed of by this equality anyways

I mean, Niki's letters and tour brought back some of Sensei's memories. She didn't really sacrifice anything.

I wouldn't be too surprised if Noriko sacrificed herself for Maya though. It's kind of her thing. Suffering for others.

I've heard that the new reset is by far the hardest one of them all, and boy oh boy it was even harder than I expected it to be.
Thank god God GOD GOD that the people here are so generous to drop and update their puzzle guides every update.
Shout out to k1n5l4y3r for the detailed guide. can't wait for the 7th reset guide to be a 24 page long guide. seriously what the hell is wrong with these resets.

 

[Apollo259]

If there was at least more room for syntax error or spelling variations with the puzzle answers you type in they would not be so bad. Sometimes you try one thing that is basically right, It tells you its wrong. Then you spend 20min wasting your time trying other stuff.
For example In this reset I typed "mum" in Ami's laptop it said it was wrong then I wasted some time putting in numbers and other stuff I had written down. None of them worked, then I checked here... I guess Selebus just wants us to suffer.
(Yes its a password so sure it makes sense you have to get it exact. But the same thing happens with other ones. This is just the example that came to mind)

He is gonna make us wait for Haruka and Niki huh?

 

[Duskreyn]

Since I saw the topic a little ago, I stop to remember that and in what he considers strictly in his conception If we take his vision at his word, at least the suffering will come in a thousand ways except ntr, so going off on those issues, imo, is going abysmally off the beaten track.

It's a little ironic that one of the angels literally says "cucked by a machine":

Yet Sel doesn't seem to count it. Perhaps because it's a different Maya or some other technicality.

Overall: Sel does at least seem to prefer not abusing this kind of thing. Which is good imo.

It's almost impossible to find a teacher Mc, and when i find, he looks like a teen '-'

Sensei is actually supposed to be 31, if that matters. It's probably just the art that makes him look young:

Sensei looks like an adult when he's standing next to the students in any scene but if you want a more obvious adult appearance i can recommend:
https://f95zone.to/threads/the-headmaster-mykocks-manor-altos-and-herdone.23470/ or
https://f95zone.to/threads/that-new-teacher-day-2-rogueone.171128/
depending on how old you want the girls to look/be. The first one are all 18/19 year old students and has waaay more content than the second and the second has girls that look to be similar to this game, about 15/16-ish. It did have them looking younger in its first version but the dev aged them up a bit to keep the game on f95. If you want outright loli students then you'd have to look elsewhere from this site.

Well, it would be less worse if the game was full pov. Or the Mc could be a immortal

I mean, without going into spoilers, let's just say this MC is a little unique. Those "Horror" and "Religion" tags are there for a reason.

He also gets called "old" by a few students, much to his dismay, a few times, lmao.
