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

[JelF547]

the green route by all means IS the best route AND the "canon" route.

Lol. Ignoring Io situation, Bad Homie has always been supreme and Good Uncle really shines this year

 

[Xiondingens]

Ignoring Io situation,

Please dont remind me of Io and how the story structure of the game will never allow to have the choice to have a gigantic impact on her storyline, it wont barely have any at all. Some slightly different dialogue here, a missed event there and that is it. I understand why and i dont even want Sel to change the game into a branching story. But i really wish we wouldnt had any choice there at all. Because now i will everytime we see her just get reminded of how pointless any and every choice in the game actually is.

Presumably, HOPE knows that it'll be summer again, Yasu will have her "celebration of summer" tea party again, and by then, Sensei will feel differently about things:

So, it might not be directly after this Infinite Spring, but perhaps after a Fall, and maybe a Winter, there will seemingly be another Summer. Pareidolia likely won't be around all that much outside of Spring, not to say it won't still be around. It just won't be the one that Sensei is connected to, by then. Presumably.

It's a good point that we often forget it was Wires that was harmed by Pareidolia's plan (so far). HOPE would have been sleeping right now regardless, things only affect him if Summer doesn't return by the next season change.

It's unclear if Wires will try to bring Winter back right as Spring ends, or if he'll take the L and wait for Summer to end. Or none of that matters because next season is Fall, but given that Selebus wants another chapter before the dark route, it's unlikely that we'll transition from Spring to Fall right away.

The first:
https://f95zone.to/threads/lessons-in-love-v0-42-0-selebus.48158/post-5560548

The most important for me back then.
Also the one i had in my signature for like two years.
Also me bragging about being an "elder", jk, again.
This is also the one time where i'm ok when people'd say i'm/was too deep (besides in bed ).
I stopped because, it's even in it, i was too deep.
The majority of it is from may 22 2021, with edits up to about a year later.

So feast upon it younglings , eviscerate it, leave it be, i don't mind.

You are in an endlessly repeating loop and your suffering is orchestrated by meticulous malevolent gods that see you as either a toy to be broken or a means to an end for their goal.Yes i think your choices mattering isnt really a thing tbh

I still stick by my season theory.Also wtf will happen in fall?

There was some narrative significance to giving us the option to say no during Stomach Ache. I think it was to show that Sensei had full agency in the choice. No Gods or blackouts forcing it to happen.

I do still worry about all the branching paths in this game like you said. It's limiting and hard to maintaine. Ami, Io, Sara, and Haruka have the most drastic deviations. I can't imagine someone like Haruka will have a satisfying story arc in BOTH paths.

We're close

I see you have been in the HHG thread first.
That game was the reason i created my account, because i wanted to see what other people did with KK.
Shame Komi is a lazy ass,... or worse.

Also wtf will happen in fall?

nothing everything falls but me. We'll literally see the world on fire as the gods have to flee TERMINAL 23 because it went over its expiration date (is my best guess based on the last two updates - since Yasu describes this happened in the past, and when Nao-chan is introduced, narrator talks about how its being born into a fading world).

Edit: also, if you take another look at "Miserably ever after", you'll see the entities talking about how for the first time in years the clocks have corrected themselves (to an extent). Yasu has once remarked how (from HOPE's perspective) Spring and Fall have been taken from them. For we to have Fall again would mean that the clocks wouldn't half correct themselves, it would mean that everything would become more normal than it has been for a long time. All seasons, time passing correctly - now imagine the disaster this would mean for every character in the loop.

Does it mean all memories start to resurface? Does it mean that the bad parts of them that were slipped and locked away come back? And what happens to an everyday life in the last days of a dying world when everyone remembers every horrible thing done to them over a thousand years? That's all not even considering the four parts of a god becoming one again.

But you see, that is the problem. There is just one path. The perfect example for that is ayane and kirin. Their friendship ended either way, just in the non blackmail route it did end without any reason.

And the way Sel does handle them they are quite easy to maintain, because every big choice you do, will always have the same outcome for the mainstory. There is no branching here. And that is good, because it makes it easier for him to keep a monthly release. And that is bad, because the choices never really matter as much as they should be.

My first post here seems to be Sep 9, 2020. Complaining about the annoying Ch1 Happy scene where you had to go home. Because of course. :shrug:

You know, you people really should have reminded me while i was still writing that post... now it's kinda too late.

 

[Moonflare]

You guys all talking about being old by having posted in dec 28 2020, and, on the opposite end, we have just recently found out that DeSkel probably was having sleepovers along Yumis and Tsuneyos in pre-school by then

(still shocked by how young he is, when I'm so old I was goth before they built the first cathedral)

Oh come'on you brought forth that date for a reason, like Nodoka did (did she? was it that event? confirmed!).
Hint: It's mentioned on other ocassions

Mabye additionally it's even a girls birthday? Didn't look.

 

[hcguy]

Sweet Jesus, with the poster tier lists and the "who's been here longest", this thread has crawled up its own ass as far as most of you accuse Selebus of being.

 

[DeSkel15]

I still stick by my season theory.Also wtf will happen in fall?

In theory:

Out of the entities that we know of:

• HOPE wants to fix things
• Wire god/USER2 wants to maintain order
• Pareidolia wants to sing/fuck around
• and The World Itself (possibly the main Sekai) seems to just want to watch everyone suffer, I guess, lmao.

Nao seems to want to watch, at least, Sensei dance, but implied it's half divine and doesn't want to use Sensei, while not blaming others for doing so.

Assuming that Fall is the World's season, it doesn't seem like things will go well. It was excited for Makoto to find out her father was gone, which she found out in her Chapter 3 'Whispers of the World' Event...then it seemed to torment her afterwards:

So, that's the kind of entity it seems to be.

May have also slaughtered Yumi in Reset 5 (maybe Tsuneyo?), and Ami in Reset 6 (and maybe someone else based off Makoto's texts).

Or, something entirely different is going on and going to happen.
