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

[Apollo259]

I think there is no time loops or time lines at all. And it is something like the world being manipulated in a way that on the surface appears to be time loop/line stuff, but is actually a single continuous time line with the world being changed around the characters. Which would allow for the various inconsistencies and other such things to persist through the "resets" when whatever is manipulating the world is unable to change something for various reasons, perhaps including not knowing that something even exists. Nodoka's hidden notes persisting through resets is one example, along with the various out of place memories people have. I'm sure there is more stuff like that I'm just not remembering while typing this.

Edit: The various gods along with Himawari and the strange Maya's also seem to be generally un affected by the world being reconfigured and are able to maintain a seemingly contiguous perspective. At least in relation to the normal characters.

Heads up, I'm sorry if I ended up copying someone, I don't know if someone has said this or not.

It's gonna be real weird if Maya Prime, got teleported in this timeline after her annihilation sex with or without amnesia, I wanna see her dealing with how Sensei was to be honest.

Anyways what if rather than being on the same timeline on a branch they went ahead and caused a branch to sprout out of the main branch once they arrived to the earlier timeline, barely affecting the main branch if none at all except that they're either now gone or are replaced in the main branch, of course it'll be absolutely affected once they return. But those other branches MIGHT reenter the main branch though somehow, and I don't mean everyone returning to the present.

Hell maybe the same happened already.

I believe that everything happened before. Even current events.

When I say these things months ago they are too far-fetched and baseless but when everybody else does they are wow you could be right.

Jokes aside I believe this is kind of what happened.
And what happened to my bluehairedgirl only I am supposed to be negative

And what happened to my bluehairedgirl only I am supposed to be negative

She died dyed her hair.

 

[Moonflare]

Not sure if someone has brought it up before but I was replaying LiL and reached the event where Sensei and Maya goes to the Takoyaki stand for the first time together.

Spoiler: Takoyaki

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I don't think so, because Maya has been around for a long time and her memory either behaved very selectively (forgetting almost everything by itself), or was altered to make her think that she lived for so long (tsuneyo's theory).

So gaining all those memories would be more akin to standing in front of a very big screen that displayed a hundred thousand small screens side by side (a lot of info but you can barely pay attention to one), rather than so much information that would fry your brain. Simply put, I don't think it would strain the individual because they simply wouldn't retain most of it.

Another visual is imagining pouring water into a glass, well, there's only so much water that can go into it. The rest just spills out of it. At least that's how I see it, based on the current LiL evidence (which tbf is rather limited).

So how's everyone choice regarding Io?
What did you get when you choose to keep her as tools?
Choosing to humanize her giving 50 affection bit of concerning if we're looking at past update.

So far I'm sticking with Stomachache. Played it, then immediately quick-loaded back to the beginning and said not just no, but HELL NO. Just couldn't do it. Yeah, sure, Sensei's an awful person, and he's not me, blah-blah-blah. But I apparently have limits. :shrug:

And so far the game hasn't given us any incentive not to make the more humane choice — aside from the dopamine hit of an all-green route.

If we find out that not choosing the least sexy sex scene in the history of sex scenes actually locks you out of something important, I'll hold my nose and URM my choice. But I am not playing that scene again. Nope.

Based on how the game is made and on previous optional sexual partners, here's what we can say almost for certain :

1. There's zero chance refusing Io will get us exclusive scenes, because it's not the green route. The cool dialogue that reward you for your choice is cool, but this divergence will eventually be given less attention like it happened with Ami and the adults.
2. It can go in two ways: either the Io sex path is closed forever like it's the case for Ami, or a future event will give us the choice to accept her again, like it happened with Haruka and Sara. It could be tricky, because you have to create a chain of events where both versions of Io want a permanent sexual relation with Akira now. My money is on the former.

If there's a choice where she can become willing to have sex with Sensei because of something positive—even if she doesn't enjoy it—as opposed to trying to save Uta from him or simply feeling that it's all she's good for, then I might consider it. It would require a whole lot of extra writing on Sel's part going forward, since it would add a third route for Io, but he's done this for a few of the major choices, and I consider this to be one of those. (ETA: it occurs to me that he might pull a Yumi/Molly and simply have anyone who didn't have sex with Io fuck her anyway, whether during a blackout or whatever. Feels like a cop-out, but it would simplify writing for him.)

And as I said above, if not playing Stomachache locks us out of progressing, I'll reluctantly flip the flags with URM. But I won't like it.

Exactly my reaction
I watched the whole scene,and i visibly disturbed thinking what Sekai say is kinda make sense.
So yeah huggable Io it's my comfort zone for her.

I looked at both scenarios and chose the no-sex route because fuck it.
Still don't see what exactly Selebus is trying to say here, but if the game continues to follow the “characters face their fears and overcome them” trend, I'm expecting some horrible consequences for my choices. Maybe I'll change my mind considering later events, but until then I intend to just wait and see.

The dialogue you get for red path Io is so out of place it's like the opposite of Chika's rabies. I don't know if there's a punchline coming but something is wrong. Time will tell if the wrong thing is big enough to worry about. There's a chance Shampoo might be the correct choice and most people have broken saves for their efforts.

 

[Noob Gamer Loves Everyone]

Sensei is a pedophile and a rapist, red route will never be true route, one of many reasons being is that it will simply erase the very reason why Sensei is the way he is. He is not someone "relatable" and he is not someone anyone should self insert in, even as a pedophile, he would hardly be relatable, I know several pedos, character that Sel created while being "true" in general terms, is still a bit too hyperbolized in some parts, so nah, SO Janu would be more relatable in that matter, if that is what someone is looking for. Sensei is not a good person, he will never be a good person, there are no such thing as a "Virtuous Pedophile" and hopefully Sel will not make Sensei to be such, because if he does, then there will be a very strong suspicions about Selebus interests. "Оставь надежды всяк сюда входящии" as the saying goes, leave your morals at the door, because Sensei is a monster just like Humbert and red path makes him almost human like, which he is not. Green Route is the only route, there should not even be any doubts about it

I dont care if red route is not canon, i just cant rape Io. Thats too much.

The Game continues with a means of "Face your fears and traumas to move forward." If you don't do this, Akira doesn't see that the method he deals with his trauma is not healthy and doesn't work and this will probably have consequences in the future, the same thing goes for Io, if she doesn't deal with her trauma Possibly there will also be consequences later on in the dark route or even before.

I'm with you on that, but I'll wait for what Sel does for each route to decide which one I'll stick with.
Meanwhile, my heart can't do that to Io.

I'm ok with being on the green path, it wasn't me it was Sensei.

Hello everyone, I'm planning to switch to the English version of the game from Russian, and as I understand it, Russian saves conflict with the English version. Can someone provide a save from the end of 0.4.3 version?

But please, where Io was not raped

If you want to keep old saves, install guide mod might be enough. At least it worked in earlier versions
