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

[Jejkdkkdkdkdkdm]

The monks event coupled with the music is my favorite part of the game so far. I can't even explain why but i love it so much, and i'm afraid of the game never having an event as good as this again. What a glutton he is

 

[DSasha]

What can I say, there was a time where I'd think this'd be creepy

I am a bit bored of questions, so I made full chapter 4 walkthrough. I promise to keep this post updated at least until chapter ends

UPD: 0.52

Updated. I highly recommend trying to solve this patch puzzle without guides

At this point Selebus is just an alcoholic/junkie writer that writes the first thing that comes to his mind because people are going to follow to whatever shit he does because they have spent so much time into his story that they feel like they need to keep reading or they'll lose the time they have spent reading this expecting something meaningful happens, and in the end, you're all stucked in a loop full of meaningless shit

Yes, and?

This is a bit like Sensei Quest, you CAN bash your head at it and eventually summon Exodia
Also, a quick refresher of what events to reread if you actually want to unlock the happy event the "intended" way.

LoL. I just realized that it is impossible to get the happy event fairly if you skip the wizard route xD

Anyways, once for a while it is relatively easy to solve by yourself. Especially if you don't aim happy event. It doesnt deserve to be compared with Sensei Quest or even Word of the Day

Maybe Sel will slap Wizard Route happy event viewers at the end of the next update, he's done similar before.

I love how excited Nao is to meet Himawari. She's her biggest fan!

I'm beyond confused why anyone thinks the name Himawari being assigned to her dialogue box (like "Sensei" or "Teacher"?) changes anything. There has never been any question that it's her preferred name for herself (e.g. "Name me after your favorite flower."). The question is whether it's her birth name or a nickname that she uses by choice. I remain 99% convinced it's the latter.

LMAO DID SELEBUS PAY ATTENTION AT THIS THREADS?
MAYBE I'M OVERTHINKING THIS, but did Selebus put our brief conversation about who's not already offed from this world and my passing thought about offing myself ?
if so i'm bit happy somehow

She is not wearing it because she want to be member of RAS.

She wears it because it was free.

But now, I'm afraid of the void when the casting will be fully named...

Also, after a little sleep, now I realize that... neither Sensei nor Ayane remember the discovery of Maya's head? REALLY?! HOW CONVENIENT!

I recommend people read this, because I think it's the most likely explanation. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Spoiler: explanation for the reset

I always feel so stupid because I can rarely connect the dots on my own, even when it should be obvious. I'm always thankful to see explanations like these posted. I don't know where I would be without this forum.

Just realized that if you're already on a day that's required for a trigger, but it's still morning, you can open your phone and close it to reset back to the start of the morning to trigger it. (if you aren't already in an event/replayable event) Knew that was a thing, but didn't realize you could use it like a morning reset mechanic. Saved me from having to skip through an entire week just to get back to Saturday. I needed to open Karin's message, but it was already Saturday, so I opened the phone, then opened the menu and read her message, closed the menu and the event triggered for me.

I was just going to post that I discovered this by accident as well, myself. Saved me going through a whole in-game week of grind.

WHICH AMI IS CUTER?

Original Ami is so much cuter, besides not being an insufferably awful person. Not that current Ami is a bad look, just that I miss the old one, for many reasons.

So is there LiL merch out there? Is such a thing even feasible (definitely not advisable, but that doesn't stop people)? Because if there is, "Rooftop Apocalypse Squad" T-shirts would seem to be a top seller. Highly awkward trying to explain the meaning to anyone who asks, though, not to mention you would be outing yourself to anyone who somehow figured out the origin. Still...

 

[fasoaga]

1- I didn't see that as Himawari name reveal. I though it was to show how clearly Ayane remembered her (and it is a bad thing to remember her)

2- Does anyone any idea about what happened to Sana in the puzzle section. (and towards the happy event part)

Great update, enjoyed it greatly!
The only downside is the "emotion" shift right at the end, that turned it from mistery into...I don't know what. Actually that's' not really a downside, considering that there is a 2 months wait now, and it sucked away the interest for me, which will make the wait much more bearable.

 

[Detective Dc345]

After replaying this update, I think Sel really fumbled the Maya decapitation reveal by telling, then showing instead of showing and not telling. After Nao's warning in the previous update and Tsuneyo's comment about something happening in the background. If he were to cut Tsuneyo's line and left Nao's warning, it would've been enough to set it up. The constant beating over the head of "something is going to happen", so pay attention isn't necessary. He basically gave us an exposition alley-oop to know something bad was going to happen. After playing this game for so long, you start to hone in on what Sel is doing with his writing. His writing is still good, but I feel like he has already shown the majority of his tricks, with 0.35 being his greatest one.
