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

[DutchmanJan]

Btw, I just came across something rather interesting that I had definitely missed in previous playthroughs...

When Ayane is listing names for her future seven children, in her 'Names of Our Children' Event (which was changed during the rework meaning Sel likely added things to it that were notable in the grand scheme of things) she mentions the name "Ai":

Which could be random, but the fact that Ai is notably a name that shows up in the last update:

And seems to be a resident of the Upside Down House:

Likely implies there's some importance to that name in particular.

It also makes me wonder if another possibility for the Shapeshifter's name is Ai?

I still haven't figured out how the other Shapeshifter names are apparently funny to her:

As she notes in Maya's 'Three Halves Make a Whole' Event.

Himawari, Daisy, Sakura, etc, don't really seem all that funny to me. Daisy with the whole "Oopsy Daisy" thing might work.

Ai on the other hand apparently translates to "Affection" or "love", which is something the Shapeshifter apparently isn't allowed to have, due to the rules, which she might find funny in an Ironic way. If not in a cheesy way.

It'd also fit the alliteration naming scheme. Ai Arakawa/Amamiya.

Plus, Sensei thinking of Sunflowers might make him think of Affection or Love, which could lead to the name "Ai".

I'm probably going to add it to the list of potential names, just in case.

Edit: Just to add to this, I'm beginning to wonder if Himawari is more like a nickname for the Shapeshifter, than an actual name. Like, maybe she is her parent's "little himawari" or "little sunflower":

Dude, you really got a very sharp eye on things, don't you? I've read through some of your explanations and predictions and they are really interesting to read. Only time will tell how much you're right on stuff. But a lot of it what you tell make sense so far

Only just finished my playthrough now from the start to the last update and I feel empty now. It's an amazing game. Weird, with a lot of things that don't make sense at first, but gradually start to make sense. I'll try to set up something for Subscribstar, because I really want to support the game. Just need to figure it out without Paypal Dev. (Selebus) really deserves it.

Thenks. Praise be.

Not that we know of.

Please forgive me if I am being dense, but does that mean that no-one got stung by the DRM this time around meaning it's no longer there or does that mean that the fix for the previous release works for this one.

Sure as shit doesn't stop the idiots who can't read the multiple warnings plastered everywhere though.

Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.

By the way, I tested with a friend, Sel didn't seem to have code anything into the picture in the last pack so that the DRM would work

No new care packages yet?

No new care packages yet?

This is lifted directly from the Lessons In Love discord server dated August 5th 2023 and is the last mention of Care Package development there, not including the release announcement of the August one;

I note that this statement is actually quite vague as to whether the Care Packages will be continued at all when you look at it from a certain point of view. Ok so he say's that they won't be monthly anymore but there is no mention of a specific schedule so the next one could come in two months, six months, a year, 5 years, never, who knows? Guess we'll have to be patient and see what comes out in the wash.

I saw a mention on SS of Sel asking people what to add in the care packages back in September, so unless he changed his mind, we're guaranteed to get more.

Fair enough. I don't have access to the SS posts. Discord is the only info I had to work with and though I couldn't imagine him abandoning them entirely I was just attempting to engage in a bit of expectation management with my commentary.

 

[5A 61 68 79 6E 68 79 6B]

There are 3 major carepacks planned in the roadmap for 2024, if memory serves me right

In the near future there will be an explanation of the Io scene where her is presented to the class. Nothing interesting again.

Although in the voting there were scenes of delirium in front of the cemetery and game "cum in you niece".

But the damned Io lovers have chosen the tedium again, where everything is clear.

 

[k1n5l4y3r]

I think he will probably have the carepackages be every three or six months if he plans on being regular

Just finish playing 0.35. I'm curious about why selebus deleted his account on f95zone? (Maybe not by him. I heard patreon deleted his account)

Sorry, English is not my native language.

Sorry, English is not my native language.

Protracted, hilarious carnage of the man's own making:

1. Selebus promotes his new game, Lessons in Love, on F95zone.
2. Time passes. The game is well-liked and Selebus now makes a solid salary from his patrons.
3. Lessons in Love updates are released promptly to the public on F95zone due to leakers.
4. Selebus expresses his anger and alleges that the so-called piracy is denying him revenue.
5. The patrons of Lessons in Love who release the updates publicly shift to same-day leaks.
6. To differentiate his product and retain subscribers, Selebus introduces Care Packages (like DVD extras).
7. Selebus supposes that the (loli) content of the packages will prevent distribution on F95zone.
8. After an extensive flamewar in this thread, Care Package leaks are permitted by the mods.
9. Selebus throws a fit in the thread and deletes his account once and for all, wishing us good riddance.
10. (Bonus: ) His income has not increased appreciably in the many months following these events.

The above is only to the best of my memory.

Edited to add: Roughly coincident with step 8 listed, F95zone mods elected to no longer show Lessons in Love updates on the Latest Updates page.

10. (Bonus: ) His income has not increased appreciably in the many months following these events.

To add, not only has it not increased since the game no longer gets promoted here, it has in fact shrunk, he was at around $11k before this thread was quarantined and he just recently dipped below 10k before slightly bouncing back. Essentially, any claims this place was negatively affecting his income or its growth are demonstrated to be completely unfounded, and in fact the opposite is true, the massive loss of exposure to the internet's biggest adult game website has completely cooked his growth.

Honestly, how could Selly be so foolish as to think this place was a net negative for him? How the fuck else was this game going to get eyeballs on it? 4chan? Itchio? Word of mouth? All crumbs compared to this place, as demonstrated.

And he also does with all the fanservices, shouting that he is being stolen and poking his rights to the same boosty... Selebus inc!!!

Thank you. Surprised by his attitude. I believe these piracy are inevitable. Without F95zone, there will also be other platforms spread his subscribers-only works.
