Great update. Here's some of my general thoughts on characters and events. Lore stuff will be coming in a later post.

Re: Scarf, I shall spare our timid fellow a direct reply, but if I remember correctly then the scene commentary for Stray Cat (the initial scarf scene) reveals that Maya lost it when the time loop began since she got it at the end of the year. It says, 'how long has it been since she has touched this fabric,' which implies ownership and then loss beyond what was already apparent. We can imagine something happening at the end of the school year that made someone Wish they were back at the start of the school year, which unfortunately was before she was gifted the scarf, which means bye bye scarf. It would follow, then, that Neo Maya would not know the scarf, since she was reset to the 'start' of the loop, and never experienced the pre-loop (or end-of-loop) where the scarf was initially given. P.S., it seems intuitive to me that Maya would only have 'confessed her feelings' for Sensei after several years of fucking and so on, which means that I doubt it was from the tutorship era or anything too long ago. Perhaps the scarf is what inspired her confession.

Of course, LiL continuity is intentionally mysterious so I don't take any of this as factual, and at this point my brain is rotten with LiL lore being mere patchwork, but it has never seemed strange to me that Neo Maya would be unfamiliar with the scarf.

Edit: Also, fact-checking this post forced me to re-read the parts where Selebus describes all the girls as extensions of himself, and Maya calls herself a 'part of Selebus' and thus capable of reading his thoughts, so fuck all of you. I am now miserable and my day is ruined.

i know this seems insane, but i hope one day we get some urethral stuff

 

[VoidExile]

put your mouse through a thin corridor and then the exorcist

I know exactly what you are referring to. That one is infamous.

Not nearly enough info regarding the drm thing. I'm just wondering if the current non paid on this site won't do that and if the drm thing will get rid of saves in another folder. There is the one following the users path and then the one stored in the game folder but if I make another game folder that doesn't have the care packages would those get destroyed too?

If I didn't hate chipmunks before (and I did) I sure as hell do now (even more).

So I found an instrumental version of the same song and replaced it in the game files so its less annoying (understatement) and still fits to some extent. I have not finished the update yet. I quit to replace the song as soon as I heard it because I have an irrational desire to kill everyone in a 50 mile radius when I hear those bastards sing. So I thought I would post the replacement song here and maybe save some lives in the process if anyone else has the same reaction as me.

As I have not finished the update yet I have not read anything in the thread, so apologies if someone has already posted a no chipmunk patch.

Tsukasa seriously deserves the world… She was definitely the standout character for me in this update.

Soo yeah. Pretty solid update overall. It feels good to be back to our monthly LiL fix.

 

[Budoop]

- There’s a whole scene with Himawari if Ayane’s affection is over 3,000?? That’s… interesting, but… I have to wonder the reasoning for it. Is it simply a bonus scene for supposedly grinding that many affection points, or will this affect something major eventually? I suppose we’ll have to see. [/SPOILER]

Soo yeah. Pretty solid update overall. It feels good to be back to our monthly LiL fix.

It absolutely has plot relevance, I put down some loose thoughts above on it.

Fundamentally, renpy uses both sets of saves at the same time, and the DRM would delete both at the same time. I'm not sure if delete is the correct word, or if corrupt is more correct. if it corrupts all the saves, and that corruption is marked as a newer save than the backups you might have, your backups would be overwritten with the corrupt saves. You would need to delete all the corrupt saves in both locations before restoring the good saves.

As an example, I'm not sure if the next person I'm responding to got owned by it.

Hey everyone I need help my save just got nuke I don't know what happened but all it say is this:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Your save either uses the guide mod and you don't have it installed, or you added the care packages and didn't disable the drm / updated without redisabling it afterward. re-add the guide mod even if it's out of date if that's the issue, otherwise I hope you backed up your save elsewhere.

I purposefully waited to comment on the Himawari thing, so after reading the regulars' opinions, the time is now.

Himawari's plan should be coming through on the next update. At the very least these posts should help with knowing which questions we are looking for to get answered when it arrives.

Edit: Minor point but Himawari's dressed as Yumi during the encounter, at least with Yumi's outfit from the character screen:

Spoiler: outfit

Agree

Double agree! Adorable!

Ohh shit I just got the turtle thing. Awesome and thanks!

During these days he was an active poster and was generally pleasant and helpful, like Moonflare today would be.

Please don't turn evil Moonie! It would depress me about as much as the Maya stuff.

So are those >3000 love events supposed to be just Easter Eggs or actual canon events for people who data mine (i.e. check URM or code)?
I haven't checked those out yet, but without having spoiled myself too much, at least this one seems rather insightful, I suppose?

Because if they are actually relevant to the plot, I'd find it a bit annoying to hide it behind something that you would only find out by tinkering in the code and also only realistically achievable by cheating.

Im hoping that it is actually happening, and that we will see her again on the shopping date.

Seems like Sel did TWO oopsie woopsie this update.
EDIT: Scratch that, it's three.

I'm thinking the date wont actually be on her birthday. I hope I am wrong and we get it next update.

Yeah I love Niki so much.

To reply to the other discussion about Himawari's plan. Remember when she talked about the Nakayama's maybe not being real? Maybe they are part of her master plan to fix things and that is why they throw so many things off. Even this weird version of Ami seems unsure about Niki.

You know...for once i was kinda getting into the h-scenes. The switch from Futaba to Molly kinda got me cause of the rush down on her...but hot damn the Tsubasa scene after was a reminder to never feel that way about this game ever. Thank you, Selebus. It is my mistake

 

[Budoop]

Am I the only one who kinda liked the Tsubasa scene in a weird way? It shows at least to some extent Tsubasa is not averse to some kind of sexual interaction with Akira and I want her porked already.
Also can someone post the history of the Ami + Niki scene on Bad Uncle run? I want to know what I missed.

Also DeanNoriko has reminded me that this is not the only time Niki's story has had major elements altered by Good / Bad Uncle. The jar straight up doesn't exist in my playthough, which also changed a lot.

 

[Vega Cifer]

She talks by the door in a casual creepy way though idk what changes in the good route there. Maybe not talking about wanting to join or something. What changes besides the Jar in good uncle one?

And idk...there's definitely people for that but I am certainly not one of them. Calling a milf mother is one thing but that scenario nty. I also want her porked, but not much for her current h involved scenes. A lot of cockblocking this update though regardless.

But damn it...I'll take this as a reminder.

 

[LoveWhiteHairedGirl]

I just noticed the chipmunk music stopped.

And here come my tears.

If you read that without pause, it sounds like he is sad that chipmunks stopped singing

Edited for clarity lol. I was glad it stopped. However, I do remember liking that cartoon as a kid. I'm old.

The mayablock being lifted only by the "hidden" scene reeks of a coding mistake, because the code is almost the same in both routes:

Spoiler: Code

Besides, and this is no coding error but lazyness, with mayablock lifted you can go to Maya's dorm generics, but the text is the fucking same as before:

Spoiler: Maya dorm text

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

OR PERHAPS Selebus didn't change the dorm text because the mayablock was supposed to stay active, and only deactivated as an easter egg for URM users or code scavengers? Who fucking knows.

I’d say lifting mayablock is intentional; I see this as officially regaining a method to regrind her stats for her future events. Whether regaining that is only enabled by owning 3k Ayane points is BS or not is a different story.

But like you suggested, this is not done thoroughly. Not only does the dormgen event stay the same as always, you can also call her at night now (forgot if you could or couldn’t in 0.45). And of course, it comes with a nightgen event that only makes sense if we are conversing with Maya Prime.

So until Sel fixes any of this, I am regarding these (especially anything related to Maya) as “game mechanics” instead of “story”.
