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

[idiotamerican]

much appreciated

 

[barglenarglezous]

apologies that these questions have likely been brought up before...

-how long is the rework content? is the best way to cover it simply starting over and if so, how far do i need to get?
-is it worth it?
-does anyone have a complete save (without the rin betrayal, without yumi knowing about chika, and with all scenes unlocked)

thanks

The bulk of the rework spans from the start of the game all the way to the beach event, or the first half of chapter 1. The rework largely consists of 1) A visual overhaul of the early character art 2) slowing down the pace of how quickly Makoto, Futaba, Ami, and Ayane jump into Sensei's pants, and 3) introducing the games darker tone earlier.

As far as individual scenes go, beyond most of the early sex content being pulled out, so too were any blowjob animations (because Selebus didn't like how they looked, apparently), the Ami sex dream in the very early game was changed into something on par with the game's horror themes, and Room with the Clocks was completely changed.

If you're playing the game for the mystery of what's going on, it's worth it. If you're playing it for the loli sex scenes, it's not.

A note on using a save game to skip over segments -- if you're interested in the story, bear in mind that as the game progresses, more and more parts of each scene are locked behind specific flags, and the Replay feature has a default set of flags that don't include those bits. If you care about the story and want to get caught up, use a save editor to set your stats to an absurd level (to skip the grind) and play all the way through.

1) Its long. Hours upon hours of content. You can automatically unlock the ability to replay all rework content after going up to chapter 3.
2) Only worth it if you're a completionist. I recommend you to skip all previously read text.
3) Here's the save. I used an external cheat editor to raise the stats real high, but it is a complete save. Dorm 1 won the dorm way, BTW.



In case you don't want to start at the beggining, here is a complete save as of Nov. 11, 2022

Do you have a save file before The River Styx/Whispers of the World/The event where Makoto founds out about his dad?

I have one save file per event

Here's the one where The River Styx kicks off:

So here's what I wanna know: are there consequences for using cheats in this yet? Because I saw something about that somewhere

Probably for in-game cheats, but not for using external save editor.

It marks your save as a cheater, and if you complete a reset, I think its the second reset, without seeing the scene that gives you the answer needed for it, and without a save past it, it gives a game over screen.

i'm playing the game from the start now again aft missing a makoto scene
...
This new rework of the beginning... I cant say I hate it. It has some good points, unfortunately these good points seem to be overshadowed by in-continuity issues regarding event timings that were not there in the previous version. I kind of expected it with a big overhaul like that though or im just loking back with rose tinted glasses.

On top of what k1n5l4y3r said, having a save file marked for cheating also changes dialogue in some scenes. So far, cheating doesn't have a huge impact in most cases, but it may later on, like determining an ending to the game in the far future. Or it may do nothing. It's something of a risk.

you are lifesaver bro .not for me but people who needs save. i needed an save and no one cared. which character were in dorm 1 ? i forgot dorm wars

 

[DyonisXX]

My brain just made the connection that Kumon-mi sounds like "cum on me" and now I can't take the city name seriously anymore

Sorry, typo. Meant floor 1 won the dorm war.

Floor 1 = (Chika, Yumi, Ayane, Ami, Rin, Maya etc)

I had those impressions too. There wasn't anything contradictory but somehow still felt off about the sequences of events and just the way dialogues lined up from scene to scene. I think Selebus is just not very good at continuity when he does large chunks of content at once.

...if you think this is going to end in all the girls being cool with being the 34th side piece, you've been misreading it.

Once the girls start finding out about each other, heads are going to roll. Possibly literally. Very likely literally.



Selebus gives exactly zero shits about the rules here. When he feels those scenes are appropriate, they'll be part of the base install, and the game will likely vanish from this site.

Game goes from horror to survival horror

The issue is that the original game was written update-to-update, right, but the revamp was done character-by-character, and main events were done last. So there's obvious room for cracks to show in that.

But the writing in the individual events is way better, so I'm fine with the trade.

 

[rightsaidfred]

if he's having plans for 4 seperate routes, one of them containing endings for all the main characters. this game is gonna finish in 2035.. maybe

he is really good at it imo and before he did the remake he would regurlarly go back and fix continuity errors if any were pointed out... I think the problem here is going back and changing your work is harder to do than making it in real time or just letting it stand as is. overall I liked the way it was before the change a bit more, mainly cause it felt darker, lines of dialogue were changed that said pretty much the same thing but felt... I don't know, softened. most of the changes were done to appease other people anyway and I bet selebus is still really salty over the amount of work put into appeasing them only to get it thrown in his face.

Can you expand on that? I'm curious what that's all about.
