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

[shmurfer]

I'm finally getting back into the game after a short break. Got 2 or 3 updates to play through, but had to come here to drop comment.

I just got to the Io event....wow, that was quite hard to get through.

Spoiler: Io Event

I'm not sure how choosing to have a missed event will impact future events, but its one that feels like the right route to take. I can always save edit to flip the bits if I have to later on. Feel free to let me know if there's a lasting impact of missing the event or any other critical misses. But as things stand, I'm fine with missing one.

There's only been one conversation after this which has been affected by the choice. This upcoming update is the first we've seen of Io since but she's likely to be a background character and would have probably been skipped if it wasn't the halloween update and supposed reset time (though nothing from the previews is screaming it's happening in part 1)

I really want to see the upcoming Tsukasa events which is next update after halloween. Can guess based on those events the upcoming pacing of other story arcs like stomachache if she touches the penis that update or not. And who knows if the supposed reset in part 2 will even leave room to think about her instead of oh my god everything is on fire.

I really hope next update isn't going to be too dull, it's inherently set up. Just be better than 0.43 I beg.

This could all also be nothing and "Friend" is just because Kaori is Kaori, and "Kittens" because that's what both hers and Nao-chan's costume is

Friend -- Akira goes to a store that does not sell food, and bumps into Kaori. Since there is no food in the transaction, Kaori leaves the "burger" off her usual introduction.

Kittens -- the much-anticipated sex scene. Except she's dressed as a catgirl in it, and because of this, she becomes pregnant with kittens because why the fuck not? It wouldn't even be the strangest thing in the game.

Wow! What completely innocent event names! I'm sure Kaori will spend some time with her friends and adopt a cute kitten and everything will be fine : )

(Moonflare please don't strangle me for this) Before Moonflare and I made our initial posts (around the 24th of August I believe) about the Himawari edits made to the wiki she (Himawari) was actually in the discord asking for access to the wiki to make the changes herself.(linking some of the posts she made below) So it looks like the ARG started on the 16th of August and we caught pretty much the tail end of the ARG.

Apart from some of the "interesting" interactions she has with some of the mods she shares some interesting info.

Also it looks like the Twitter accounts of the Nothing is Beautiful characters and The Unofficial Upside Down House (Are You Happy Here) page also posted something on the same date Himawari first appears in the Discord. But it looks like any posts on that day were since deleted as all accounts have nothing posted on that day. And it looks like any evidence of these posts has been scrubbed from the discord server other than this screenshot which shows some thing was posted on that date.

Ok, I'm going on a trip for a few days so I so I'll post my prediction about Io now, and thanks to the preview

Spoiler: Thanks Dc

I think I am on the right track:

No matter the route, Io will ask Akira for sex, but this is one of those times where the minor changes in dialogue will make a world of difference. One path Io is going to ask him because her self-destruct mode is going at full gear and she thinks this is the only way she can keep Akira around and "win" over the others. In the other path she is going to ask out of pure curiosity, trying to understand why sex is so important to him and why he doesn't hate Sekai for what she did to him. No matter what, both routes are going to be uncomfortable to say the least.

I've always wanted to ask, do we know what these really are about? Or better yet, do we know who exactly is behind that Himawari account along with those wiki edits? I am in the process of deciding how serious I want to look at these.

My strongest reason is that, like any other documented item, information should flow to wiki and get summarized there (and get agreed upon many as one extra QA step), and not the other way around where you can find information on the wiki that looks seemingly important but literally doesn't exist anywhere in the source materials.

I'd give passes to miscellaneous, trivial, and unimportant character facts like blood types. I can tolerate these information being mentioned only in wiki and never elsewhere, but not when the information has enough impact or is tied to the most mysterious figures in the game. Where did you learn this from even? If I can decide, the chance of Selly himself or someone endorsed by him doing these edits is so microscopic compared to the chance of a group of nitwits doing heavy RP and pulling everyone's leg.

Despite me saying that, I noticed I've given one pass to the Are You Happy Here Twitter account along with all the mumble jumble there, but only because that account just looks like a dev shitposting epicenter in which everything there is elusive as fuck anyway; it is not equivalent to finding stuff on the wiki that you can't even reference.

Tl;dr everybody but Selebus would be banned for this

Yes

 

[barglenarglezous]

At a bare minimum, it was something done with Sel's full knowledge and consent. If it wasn't him doing it himself, it was something he agreed to before they even started it.

I'm 99% sure it's Sel behind the Himawari accounts. Sel doesn't run the wiki or the website his mods do so the only thing he is responsible for is game related content. So what this basically is Sel asking for permission to changes to the wiki under the guise of Himawari since one of her abilities is to hop between different realms and he made it into an arg. Same thing applies to Are You Happy Here which is basically the Twitter page for the Upside Down House people as it exists outside of Lil.

Sort of Realted Addon: I think we've seen the House by the Lake. I think it is the last location you visit in Nothing is Beautiful right before the demo ends.
