Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but I need some help figuring out how to use URM for this game on a new replay. After consulting with the guide video on the URM homepage on how to change variables, I attempted to start changing variables in LiL, but they don't show up as numerical variables but rather as a string of text. I seem to be a bit too smooth-brained to figure this out without a nudge from the URM veterans in this thread, and before anyone asks, I did try the search function in this thread and the URM thread to see if I could figure this out myself to no avail. Screenshots included below for clarity's sake, and thank you in advance for any advice.

Please put images behind spoilers. That said, search for 'love' and 'lust'.

But, for instance, in story direction, I feel like OoT is like if LiL had stuck with its initial analogies and at most revealed a plot twist to that (like the light, darkness and the rope). Whereas one just keeps revealing its secrets and providing discussions about it, Selebus keeps adding and adding without really explaining much.

This made me want to check out Out of Touch, so thank you.
About LiL, i'm fine with selebus not explaining things. You already do that. What i hate and find draining about lil is, constantly changing focus. I'm fine with overly crptic Tss events. But if you show me a cooking competition after that, i'm gonna find it boring and dragging. And you shouldn't do that to your characters since rest of the story is a jigsaw puzzle with other half of the pieces to come in 4 years.

 

[t878768]

that was years ago
sillybussy hates story anon now and anon could give less of a fuck

Are you sure? I don't think I've ever seen Sel or StoryAnon actually hate each other (well OOT had that one recap scene making fun of LiL). Both seem to just really hate Lil-clones. The OOT community I've engaged with absolutely loathe LiL though

 

[LessonsInDissonance]

idk, I played OOT in the past and it sucked, not my cup of tea

the active oot community takes every chance to shit on lil they can
most dont care
sillybus took offense at some jokes a rando made about going kill him since they both live in
the same city in texas and anon didnt chastise them

I am back from playing "Out of touch" for the first time and what a delight it was to see a story that leaves no doubt that the dev knows where the plot is going and everything actually connects.

Mind you, LiL has A LOT of things done better, but that one point made me weep thinking just how much pointless noise this game has.

They're both at about 50%, and that one actually feels like the middle of the story. There's a huge plot twist, almost every thread set thus far is pulled and we get ready to the second and final half.

More than anything I think it's interesting to compare in terms of style of writing. In oot I have little doubt that it will end and that everything will be answered because that's just how well formated and structured everything is. Again, it's really interesting to compare.

I've always wondered how and why there are many "sons of LiL" (I prefer to call them that rather than "clones" or "copies," at least until I can test them). Lessons in Love is like the Dark Souls of school-set VNs made in koikatsu because it created its own "Souls-like" subgenre.
Oh, and would you recommend Out of Touch? Is there a tier list for them?

 

[Chrisanity]

what is the terminal code

Other than an entire filler event (out of story) based on LiL as a tribute, they have nothing to do with eachother.

I could go on and on, just know that both are very good games that are far apart with the exception that both want you to think way more than masturbate. Sex scenes are way better in OoT though (both in terms of engine and imagination). But Selebus is a way better writer.

what is the terminal code

;-;

 

[shmurfer]

And i left that possibility open with "And either it's a sign of them subconsciously knowing or plot faults. "

My comment got rid of the possibility of it being a plot fault. Yes they subconsciously know. The game hasn't explained exactly what's happening because Akira doesn't know what's happening yet. That's how it's always been. There's an entire reset between the player learning Akira's name and Akira learning his name. It doesn't mean there isn't enough information to glean what's happening.

At this point I have to assume you're up to date, I'm going to use a chapter 4 example, since it's after Akira's experience with AUTO-PILOT. Yes the girls who aren't in the RAS have noticed the time discrepancy several times, and there's always a specific thing that happens every time. You apparently didn't notice it which is why I pointed out the face blindness.

Does anyone remember which event we learn his name is Akira? I remember the Niki event but it was revelead way before then.

Iirc it's the one with the japanese name:

You must be registered to see the links

. Look for the one after "treasured" in chapter 3.

Edit: It's actually "Smells of Summer", also in chapter 3.

We discover his name in the "Smells of Summer" event in chapter 3, it is an event before the "I Will Deliver You to the Fireflies" event.

 

[shmurfer]

Just beaten yeah. The japanese event is where Sekai's face stops being blurred, but it's not until Akira is actively trying to fuck Noriko when she re-appears and names him, before Maya stops her with the fireflies.

 

[fasoaga]

Thank you guys. Does anybody made sense of what does pillars with circles on it;? Yellow car, plate of food, different types of trees could be dates and accident.
But the pillar? It is so out of place.

I whole heartedly agree with this assessment.
OoT is a great game. I know alot of people who quit the game early because the MC is a perfect, happy-go-lucky fukboi who all the girls immediately fall in love with... named Chad Thundercock... but it's all on purpose and part of the narrative. When it's revealed why he's like that it really changes everything.
Good game, well written, and incredibly cinematic.
