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

[Xiondingens]

Real talk now, I've been rewatching all of Yumi's events - and the amount of shit she has to endure with Akira, and yet keeps blushing and giving him chances really borders on the supernatural. Which is helped by the amount of times he blacks out with her.

Well, i am sure the supernatural has something to do with it. But on the other hand, she never had anyone who cared in her life. Sure she got a lot of shit to endure with him. But on the other hand even his half assed attemps to help her get a job, is i think already much more as she ever got from most people in her life.

Then he was sort of involved in reconnect her with her mother and even tho this wasnt perfect and her relationship with her mother is less then ideal. He is still partial responsible for her life getting better.

And i know there is that optional scene in the locker room that sort of does infere with that and makes it a bit harder to understand what she does think about him. So i guess it might be better to just ignore that event to understand it.

It is just that i so far still havent gotten my head around why she was aware of the resets at least for a while. I mean it wouldnt have made sense if she actually got to the roof top. But how it is, it is actually more confusing then it actually does answer anything.

Where am I supposed to find answers to "life of Prizes"?
I don't mean guide, but in-game?

 

[Xiondingens]

I would say in the code. I mean that is technically in the game.

I hate the puzzles inside this game...

Then i want to change my former post slightly from been a joke. To a serious suggestion. I used to hate the puzzles, now that i read the code, it doesnt bother me anymore because i can just look up the answer right away.

I mean, Yumi is definitely special - and not only because she's the hottest girl in the game. Now, personal opinions aside, I do think there is more to her.

Tie between these two for me.

Put Yumi in a fancy dress, cut her hair hime-style, and they'll look like sisters. Keep in mind Yumi doesn't have access to quality cosmetics, food, or clothing like Touka does and manages to look about as good (through Koikatsu, anyway. It's limited. For all we know, they might have vastly different faces, and we wouldn't be able to tell. Touka does seem to be a little bigger, though...)

Yumi honestly isn't dumb. She has a good brain. She lacks knowledge due to laziness (likely stemming from her fear of failure rather than an outright inclination towards idleness) and a poor upbringing. Were she raised in a wealthy and disciplined household like the Tsukioka's, I believe she would be something close to another Touka.

Why does this game not get on the front page when updated?

Because Time-Loop

I only remember some:
Stairs: Happy event IIRC same event that gives lotery number.
Breath: don't remember exact event but refers to Ami breathing.
Favorite fabric: in the song lyrics.

Why does this game not get on the front page when updated?

The short story is, the developer is a huge dick.

Why?
Is it because he bans everyone on his discord?

 

[Xiondingens]

Why?
Is it because he bans everyone on his discord?

Well, that is also a reason why he is an arrogant dick. But iirc the fact that his game no longer gets updated on the front page has to do with his very, very nice DRM. But dont quote me on that. I might missremember and the actual reason was something different. But in the end it will still come down to Sel been a huge dick. So i just really dont care about the details.

DRM? How did he manage to... DRM a fucking H-game? Genuinely curious

I dont know about the technical details, mostly because i just dont care. But if you want to see it in action, install the carepackages without the DRM patch and say goodbye to your savegames.

Which is the reason why you always should make a backup of your savegames when a new version drops.

I like this headcanon/theory. But I feel like I miss something...

The resets according to Maya were mostly the same in Chapter 1, except:

• Ami never became a maid.
• Maya never got that scarf.
• Maya may not have been having Upside-down dreams prior.
• Kaori and the Shapeshifter may have not been around.
• Yumi presumably never stopped him from walking into static 3 weeks in, like in this timeline.
• Sensei seemed to be more irritating, curious, and compassionate in this timeline, based off Maya's reactions, which probably affected Maya and everyone else, in this timeline.
• Makoto may not have Blue Jayed, as Maya didn't seem used to Sensei even being on the roof outside of resets, let alone with someone else.
• Things post Chapter 1 (like the school being swallowed) never happened, Sensei rarely ever made it to Winter, and never past the 3rd Reset (the first time Ayane made it to the roof and didn't survive).

Sensei was also apparently switching personalities and raping people far more often, and he apparently died a few times, was broken by Maya a lot, and sometimes failed immediately in his "new life", so Maya created that Journal to help him a little.

Also if Psycho Ami is a thing, that probably happened a lot because I guess Maya kept trying to tell Ami for centuries of resets apparently, before giving up.

The creepy Yumi detentions were likely pre resets, and he apparently did stuff like stare at her and stalk her:

As for Maya, pre resets, I doubt she considered anyone besides Sekai, Niki, and Noriko, as a possible threat when it came to Sensei. The big titted bully probably wasn't worth her time. Ironically, Yumi may have reminded Sensei of Niki, based off how he compares the two:

It really makes you think about how if not for Wires, or Nodoka, they'd have probably hooked up naturally anyway. Hell, given what Pareidolia showed by cycling her in different outfits while talking to him, they most likely have many times over.

USER2/Wire god talks like this:

That was likely Pareidolia who was comparing Sensei to Sekai, and Yumi to young Sensei, since it was in lower case which is a habit of it's. Pareidolia seems interested in Yumi's family, with Kaori possibly being it's Yasu.

Most Yumi things seem to reek of Pareidolia, tbh. He even forced Sensei to blurt out he wanted to fuck her in Yumi's recent 'Frog Boy' Event:

you know despite all mentioned above, i would still prefer every dev would be more like him and not other way around, cause in spite of everything he's one of the very few devs who always delivers updates on time, and updates are quite big, versus many nice devs who in 2-3+ months deliver just few thousands words of text and 5 new scenes of content. if it takes dev being a bit arrogant to deliver results, he can be 10 times worse for all i care, just deliver content.

What is the static you speak of?
Who is the shapeshifter?

I was always under the impression that his attractiveness to these girls was being aided by the supernatural to some extent because even Akira says multiple times it makes no sense why these girls get stuck on him the way they do. Matter of fact the only ones that make sense to me realistically are Chika(naivety, projecting her dreams in desires onto Sensei after he gave her a single crumb of stability), Futaba(self-esteem issues), and Makoto(ingrained desire for male validation with her being a daddy's girl and the fact that said father is now absent). The rest of them just develop feelings seemingly out of nowhere, though I guess it can all be dismissed with Sensei being the only guy around and teenagers being teenagers.

You know that this always depends on what game you are making? There are developers out there who actually drawn this shit, that takes a lot longer as just pose the stuff with KK. Then, he gets enough monies that he can do this as his mainjob, for a lot of games out there the developers still have to work to get food on the table. And last but not least -at least what i can think of in the two minutes i write this post- LiL is a linear game. Different choices dont really matter and that of course increases the amount of content most people see, compared to a game that really does branch a lot, and is also a lot less work, because in the end all he has is one straight line to think off and maybe an optional event here, a bit of changed dialogue there.

Just simply saying, every developer should make big updates every single month, is just naive and stupid and has nothing to do with reality, because that demand ignores simple facts.

Back in early Chapter 1's "Not Even Me" Main Event, Sensei is walking towards static when Yumi aka A Voice From Far Away, calls out to him:
