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

[barglenarglezous]

Probably missable after the first time, but no main girl will escape undefiled.

Tapioca's fate is inevitable. Her mom's practically ordering her to get laid.

Honestly, i've been quietly watching you guys talk about the serious consequences that will come if Akira doesn't take what he has no right to or whatever it was but for me i feel like Hope is just fucking desperate and is lashing out with threats he can't follow up, all bluff, all bark and no bite, Akira has survived almost 3 chapters now with Hope trying shit and he's gotten no where of consequence... if you imagine that threat made out of fear, out of panic with Pareidolia's season coming and Hope's power/influence waning, it does kind of turn into a bit of soggy lettuce.

I'm not at all saying my hunch is right, it's just a hunch, but i've just never felt that threat had any weight behind it. I've spent more time just thinking about what it is he's suppose to be taking than whatever the 'consequences' would be if he didn't do it.

I dunno, i often find myself looking at this game/story from a meta perspective, what's the point of Hope's threat in the story? What can he really do if the only real consequences are Akira just gets fully reset, that'd make for a pretty game. Maybe he get's locked in a box and tortured... boring. Maybe he gets tormented by having his girls taken away somehow... ok... then what? Like, from a narrative perspective, Hope is pretty limited in what he can actually threaten Akira with given the game is already forced to remain somewhat consistently the same if Selly doesn't want to risk his income, if shit goes far too weird far too fast then a lot of people are going to either lose interest or feel ripped off for all the time they put in.

I'm kinda rambling here, i enjoy reading the theories but i ultimately have little energy for any that deviate too far from 'shit will pretty much stay the same with some measure of progression' and so i don't put any weight on Hope's threats.

With this post, sir, you forever forfeit any right to self-use the Dunce Cap!!!

I agree, I feel like despite all the warnings and threats, the status quo of this story will remain until the Dark Route starts, which I don't like at all but it is what it is.

Are the signatures for the lessons of love handmade or are they somewhere?

I have an event where I need to invite Maya over but I dont have her phone number. Any idea which even this is tied to?

you get it during the chapter 2, 2nd Christmas Party event chain after that event chain ends. Her events after should be automatic.

if you mean chapter 3 stuff then,

On a saturnday or sunday check the phone till you see the event, it's a happy event not a regular one so the rules are kinda bendy, you don't need her phone iirc.

 

[ppbeater]

does this mean anything or is it just an easter egg for those who pay attention to small details

edit: oh you just click the text nvm

 

[FireCazador]

What can he really do if the only real consequences are Akira just gets fully reset

I just imagined that Sel give us an option to take "that thing he isnt supossed to have" or not, and if we choose not to take it delete all the save and make us start again cause "it reseted Akira and all the world"

I'm still in Chapter 1 at this point so I guess it will be a while

 

[ppbeater]

was stuck not progressing for awhile, & when i checked the guide all i had to do was get happy event 2, "go to the dorm & go home", seems kinda weird that that 1 thing prevents you from getting any more story
edit: i only say this because i literally got to day 400 before thinking maybe im missing something

 

[jimmyjoo]

Any help with There is nothing? Seems like I've done all prerequisite events up to the dashed lines (end of chapter 1?) for all of the main girls but I don't see any helpful hints to trigger it.

 

[fdsasdf_p]

My problem with HOPE's warning isn't about if it's going to be absolutely terrifying or just all bluff. Instead it's about how dragged on it is without serious shit happening from an update-to-update player perspective.

I have no doubt that HOPE can and will not hesitate to pull some spicy and disguising tricks if he deems necessary, no matter what he's actual motive is and if punishing Sensei at all is going to help achieve his goal. But it's been such a while since his last warning, and we just......keep gliding from dorm to dorm without a care in the world waiting for the consequence to come, but it still hasn't come because the weather isn't right yet! (I feel like that sentence comes from someone who believed in feng shui too much).

Whatever punishment awaits us ahead, it had better be fun! Strap everyone in that sex machine! Autopilot everyone! Reset everyone except Sensei! Wizard content! (pls don't) At this point I hope it's something that will yield a great pattern break since Sensei being able to return to his sandbox slice of life mode for me is one of the major desensitizers to his deadline.

Hopefully Pareidolia's foreshadowing is something related all of this, that the next reset is Sensei's last one because he's gonna open his eyes like a fucking dunce. Afterwards comes a new chapter and a new phase where everything is fucked beyond belief.


In a nutshell, I basically already give this deadline the finger and ask for some heavy beatings right here right now because I want to be surprised, I want my jaw dropped to the center of the Earth, but it's like HOPE was actually being very patient with me.

Did you see or miss all the happy events up to "Trinity pt. III: Non Est Deus"?

 

[jimmyjoo]

Did you see or miss all the happy events up to "Trinity pt. III: Non Est Deus"?

Yes, I saw that event. Actually, I just loaded up the game agagin and that event seems to have disappeared. Now, the only hint I have is for 'Turn off the lights'

 

[jimmyjoo]

LOL I think this can be disregarded. I checked my Hints section again and There is Nothing (as well as a couple other items) are back on the Hints page

Then as I said before:

On a saturday or sunday check the phone till you see Maya, it's a happy event not a regular one so the rules are kinda bendy, you don't need her phone number.

 

[jimmyjoo]

Then as I said before:

Is there a delay required between the events? I'm on a Sunday where I've skipped forward a couple of weeks and she isn't on my phone list.

 

[k1n5l4y3r]

Check morning, afternoon, and night, it's missable only if you chose "..." in "No one can see us". The only requirements are seen "Important things" from Ami and being in a weekend.

Not sure if it matters much, but Bonus Ami did say Chapter 3 was meant to be for "petty drama":

So, Chapter 4 should definitely change things up. I'm thinking this chapter has been more of a bonding experience overall, meant to get Sensei attached to things, and Chapter 4 might be when this comes into play:

Also, for those into Normality, don't forget that Bonus Ami is a "normal teenage girl, just like Maya!":

There's a few "normal teenage girl"s in this game.
