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

[vehemental]

and then subsrcibestar stops paying ungrateful old lady Big Sel because all their assets are froze in Silicon Valley Bank (I assume, tried to find out and couldn't find it) and he needs to start yet another migration to a different service but he doesn't have this place as a spring board for advertisement anymore...

All of the depositors in SVB are getting bailed out, it's just a temporary setback. Their clientele was far too rich for the gov't to just hang out to dry. The rich being the sole beneficiaries of big gov't in the US renders the purported $250k FDIC deposit cap meaningless. There are no libertarians in a bank run.

Subscribestar probably does their banking in the Cayman Islands or Curacao with Stake.com or some shit, given how shady most of their clientele is (everyone who gets kicked off of Patreon).

Prior to the third reset, Ayane meets up with Sensei on the roof for a Very Important Conversation but she chickens out right before actually explaining why it was a Very Important Conversation.

The gist of it was "we're going to have to tell Ami about us, things are about to change real soon" Ayane hadn't been feeling well and was missing school, she was talking about her own mother a lot, and the last thing said before she chickened out about telling Sensei the Very ImportantThing was "I swear if you tell me you're pregnant I'm pushing you off this roof".

She never actually said she was pregnant, but it was stamped all over the subtext of that scene.

Sheesh...Im just now picking up on that. Also i'm not good with this but how do you transfer the update only patch into your already saved game? Because i've tried it before and it said I had two of the same thing so it wouldn't run

 

[Vega Cifer]

Do you just extract the update only patch into the game folder for your 28.0 version?

 

[worthlesspeon]

anyone else notice/think miku is always high as a fucking kite now.
the anti-anxiety meds have basically given her unlimited courage, poor(worse than normal) impulse control, and have altered her mood so that she can't feel anger/upset.
I wonfer if she stops and goes cold turkey if the last few weeks (months for her I guess) will come crashing down on her as she tries to cope with her decisions

Her event basically told us there will be consequences to Io playing doctor and pharmacist sooner or later.

yup, paste the game folder to the existing one and say yes to any overwriting prompt. You cannot miss one update though IIRC.

Uggh, it didnt even give me the overwrite prompt when I extracted it so im getting the same error message of stuff repeating twice.

Edit: I just deleted the second game folder, so the game opens up again. But i'm just paranoid i'll mess up this simple thing now lmao. I just copy the things from the game folder, and paste them into the original one. And then I should get the prompt to overwrite existing files?

I wrote a small mod that lets you skip the affection/lust point grind without having to go through the tedium of typing in cheat codes or having your save labelled with the cheater flag. Features:

• Sets all girls' affection and lust points to a value X unless they were already higher than X
• Written to be future-proof (i.e. will automatically work for any new girls)
• Enables the developer console

Usage:

• Download the attached file
• Move into the game subfolder (found in the folder that you launch Lessons in Love from)
• Load a save and open the developer console with Shift + O
• Press Enter a few times so you can see the ">" symbol in the top left of the screen
• Type setLoveAndLust(X) and press Enter, where X is an integer (i.e. a whole number). For an example, see the image below
• Press Esc to close the console and now you can play!

Note: I recommend using this with the guide mod for max efficiency, because other than grinding points, the main time-sink with this game is trying to trigger events.

Advice from alex2011 on how to use the mod so that you don't accidentally miss events (note: I used the mod myself with 50 affection from the start and didn't experience any issues. You can still miss events even if you follow the instructions below and you can still see all events while ignoring those instructions.):


Uninstall: delete the files z_set_love_lust.rpy and z_set_love_lust.rpyc from your game subfolder

I also made a mod that lets you scroll your mouse-wheel to simulate clicks, makes the game more convenient to play https://f95zone.to/threads/use-scroll-wheel-to-simulate-mouse-clicks.120507/#post-8406783

Now I get an error msg "setLoveandLust not defined"

Does this mod not work anymore?

I've seen multiple people mention how this was not posted on the latest updates page. Does anyone know why?

I mean, the LiL situation is a perfect example of why they formed. Patreon was being censor happy, so SubscribeStar formed to compete by giving the freedom Patreon took away.

Okay so last question, if you download 29.0, as in the entire game, but had the guide/helper mod which tells you things such as requirements for the next events, do you have to download that mod again? Or im assuming that mod needs to be updated first for the latest events? Because I was trying to load a save where the menu for that mod was open (which is one where I basically unlocked things I missed, thankfully only the first lewd scenes closed for business and such), and it gave me an error message.

The dev facilitated a hate raid of this forum to tie up staff resources a little while ago and most recently incorporated DRM into the game that specifically targeted the users of this site to delete their saves and other game files.

It's a "war" with the only losers being a few unsuspecting fans and his game.

Eh, she was already doing sexual things with Sensei, and presumably is okay with playing video games with Makoto. She hasn't done anything major to regret yet. I think it's more likely that she ends up overdosing or something. She doesn't know her limits like Io does, and Io already messes up her own medications.

Except Patreon's rules are dictated by the same payment processors that handle payments for Subscribestar, it's just that SS isn't big enough yet to draw their ire. When that happens, we get to do this whole song and dance all over again.

You probably need to see Niki's events first.

thank you so much!

LessonsInLove folder \game\saves

I have searched for another save location because if I delete the installation folder, and do a reinstall from the zip file; the old save games show up still. So where ELSE are they stored?

To be fair, by the time Selebus got banned, Patreon made it pretty clear what was and wasn't allowed. He just deliberately flaunted those rules because he's better than everyone or something.

They don't even censor that hard. There are a ton of games on there with either completely unpatched or blatantly patched-over (still against TOS) incest still going strong - including the #1 funded adult game on the platform and several others in the top 25

It took a justifiably disgruntled former patron who undoubtedly provided screenshots and written details in their report to get LiL kicked off.

My impression is they go after the underage stuff harder. Moreso than the incest, the games I've seen get in trouble are those where the characters are strongly implied to be underage (all in high school wearing high school uniforms and that sorta thing --or so prepubescent looking that you just can't possibly say it's open to intepretation).

I'm surprised his discord is still up though. They're even stricter about that sorta thing.

This is actually not the case, SubscribeStar started without the ability to use those processors.

That's how all of these sites work, user reports, the platform is far too big for enforcement without them. As for the level of censorship, it wouldn't be as bad as it is and SubscribeStar might not have formed if violation enforcement was isolated to exclusively violations on Patreon itself. As it stands, this is not the case and any game hosted on Patreon is in violation of Patreon rules if it has the content at all, including any version or patch offered on another site not associated with Patreon.

I'm surprised his discord is still up though. They're even stricter about that sorta thing.

Anything considered an illegal act in the real world, which includes anything with a non-humanoid, anything that isn't full consensual, anything between relatives, and anything with ambiguous ages or with blatantly presented ages that are not minimum 18. They also at one point tried to ban Illusion graphics entirely for characters looking too young even when not made to be, but this did not go well and it never went into effect as far as I know (this was shortly before I left the platform, so I only got as far as them throwing the idea around).

The Discord is still up because nothing violating gets posted there under threat of instant and merciless ban. Discord does not enforce off of Discord.
