Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.53.0] [Selebus]

[FireCazador]

Unless the Dark route is nothing but puzzles which earned it its name.

I can imagine Sel saying to himself "those bastards will se whats good" and procees to make that every single event there are just 30 puzzles with random answers, numbers or simply he just put some random answer to fuck us up meanwhile he smiles like a psycho thinking he made the greatest update ever (and proceed to reapet this until the "Dark route" ends)

I mean, it has to have at least some lore drops. Otherwise it's going to reduce his fan base.

Sel the kinda guy to watch Little Busters and be like "yo, this was sad, but was it really dramatic and upsetting enough?" With this in mind, I have a pretty good idea of what to expect in terms of narrative developments. The contours of the story are on a very clear course in one direction. If one thinks of what would be the most dramatic and upsetting, it's not even a question.

Shout out to LB Lennon BTW, true OG. Meow.

The patrons of discord would somehow justify that if it happended

 

[lastlights]

full save?

 

[givemeabeer]

Don't leave us hanging - pls share what you think that direction is

I'm gonna guess and say that the direction is quite simple : «This is a game. Nothing is real.»

And as a side note, while I totally get it, is anyone else starting to find perpetual sadsack Akira a bit boring? Maybe it's just the pace of the recent updates, but it's starting to drag a bit IMO.

You really need to catch up and then be satisfied with the blue balls when you do.

The game is too big now. Atm I can't try later update, I have ignored the game for 2 years already.
Some of LiL vibe's games have "Linear Mode" enable just to pass the harshness of grinding (and tracking events) like Lost in You by atrX.
So, I wonder if the game has "built-in" Linear Mode, or needing the "AutoVN" "out-dated" mod?

 

[Meskal1ne]

The game is too big now.

That's how its intended. Its slowburn story and such modifications would be very strange.
It’s like not watching a series with a cross-cutting plot for several years; what’s the point of returning at all if you don’t have the desire or time to read? Anyway it is not game for jerking off.

Another funny thing is witnessing Sel thinking he will implement different clothing for Akira, when the most he ever did for his character model to this day is to change the color of the shirt.

Akira's thoughts after this: "Wow, I feel like a new man!"

For f's sake... I dunno wht happened, but somehow 0.44 or 0.45 just broke all my saves, what can be done to fix this? Or, maybe, has anyone a save to the end of 0.43?
P.S. This is what it tells me if I try to open a save, if I ignore it, game just starts anew

You probably made these saves with progress mode installed. You have to install it again if you want your saves back

 

[Hario1225]

Not only will Chapter 4 be the longest chapter in the game it will also clock the most amount of reset puzzles with 3 or 4 by the time the chapter ends. Unless the Dark route is nothing but puzzles which earned it its name.

I hate the update already once I reached the puzzle section.

 

[Tommykjohnson1990]

Does anyone have an estrada777 android port full green path save???? Please it's so tedious replaying on phone wirh no urm

Now that I have some time, I'm starting the replies for reactions to 0.45. Expect some replies to older posts in the next few days.

Some very quick first thoughts regarding the new update:

Also, needless to say, the reset puzzle was dog shit. I don't know what I expected. I guess, after Sensei Quest, for him to become a bit more creative. This just felt like a drag and I would have taken way too long for me to come up with all of the answers on my own accord. I've lost all hope of him producing any good and interesting reset puzzles.

I will probably download again when Tsukasa gets more content.

4. Karin cucking Ami by being a "bro chick" is so funny though lol but also, I think, very accurate to when she comes to see Akira after his assault. The underlying message of that whole conversation is that Karin would have been okay with it if he loved her and if she was the only one which, in that reality, seems to be the case. Go Karin.

I will laugh out loud if football will make our Akira and Karin bond. Honestly, I think Karin deserved some love and sex. She is wholesome person and she needs to be loved if not platonically by her sister, then romantically by Akira. And as an enjoyer of big booba, I need a dose of tender sex with Karin.

8. And likely explained the boxes at the same time. I think Selebus did say at one point that the boxes weren't going to be that amazing in the first place. And well, Maya's diaries certainly fit the bill (they make sense though).[/SPOILER]

I still have faith that there's something more interesting going on with the boxes, even though journals/notes make sense.

• Selebus has been building up the boxes for a long time, including teasing them repeatedly in every recent update. I can't see him doing a "reveal" where we never see a box and the only thing we're told about the contents is that Ayane didn't learn a single useful/interesting thing from them.
• The alt timeline Maya says that she keeps her notes in the basement, but Maya Prime always had Sensei deliver the boxes to one particular room on the third floor, which we still have never seen inside of. The room has to be important somehow.

To digress a bit, I'm a bit annoyed by Ayane's timeline because it just feels kind of pointless. Sel effectively brings Maya Prime back from the dead and then doesn't have her say or do anything interesting. We learn she keeps notes, but they're useless. Maya and Ayane spend a lot of time talking about their feelings for each other, but that was just putting into words what was effectively shown by their interactions in Chapter 3; and in the end, Ayane forgets everything, so it's not like her own understanding of their relationship progressed at all. They conspicuously don't talk about anything actually important - is it really plausible that Ayane never asks Maya how she resets the world? How about anything about Maya's past - she gives Ayane the scarf to gain New Maya's trust, but wouldn't information be a lot more effective?
