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

[Detective Dc345]

Since the previews channel has been nuked. Does Sel even bother to bring it back? It would pretty much kill any speculation and engagement but would raise hype for future updates(unless it's Dorm Wars).

I was imagining we weren't getting any previews for this next update anyway. Assumedly it's breaking all previous conventions and those spoilers might just explain rather than promote discussion.

Considering almost all of the events are Ayane, I wonder if the ones that aren't will be the reset proper and the final sendoff into the next chapter the sandbox once again.

 

[FireCazador]

Why would we care about LiLcord though? We're the ones that keep living rent free in their head for some reason.

Thats the thing, we dont care but Sel hate that we exist because money

Hype for future uptades---> New Kid (or how that fucking band name was) scene in the next updates

 

[GSwole]

I can see that somehow Sel could blame us (this thread) about the attack and some shit. At least he confirmed (we already knew) that LiL is going on for 5 more years

I'm sure it's not anyone who uses this thread extensively. Just shitty kids who don't know what grass looks like and dumbshit mods who touch links.

 

[MECKATZER]

That's a fair point. I'm new to this AVN stuff, so I apologise if I got the terminology wrong.

I didn't like the fact that one of the love interests gets gang raped after I've already sunk a lot of time into this game. I feel like there should be some kind of tag or warning for something like this, because if I knew ahead of time this was going to be a thing I would have avoided this game. Even though the characters are extremely well written, after that Yuki event I'm definitely done.

OK, never heard anything about this... was kinda quitting after the yumi nodoka part (I realy rooted for yumi) but now... Fuck...
I´m done with this shit

Noriko is cute when she doesn't wear epilepsy inducing clothes.

 

[Moonflare]

Found Moonflare's event guide and went around 15 pages past that. Spoiled a lot of the update and got a bit bitter.

That's weird. The thread tends to be serious using spoilers tags to talk about an update that's just out. Furthermore, that is the point of the trigger guide - your issue was addressed there, you must have missed it:

We have no issue with people asking questions though. It's just a running joke about people asking things that can literally be solved by using the search function. Many of the regulars routinely spend time troubleshooting issues with new arrivals.

I agree with you and have stressed this point many times. I am not a mod though, and they are yet to agree with me.

Also, to be fair to the mods, the game does have the cheating and rape tags.

The reason why there's no NTR tag is because it means "cuckold"
Do you really think Akira gives a shit if Chika and Rin kiss each other behind his back? He's probably happy about it and the only thing that makes him angry is the fact that he wasn't there to stick his dick between their tongues. You can't be cucked by something you want to happen.
You can only get cucked if it's a betrayal of the couple's pact of exclusive intimacy.

There is one solid argument for adding the NTR tag and it's from recently where we quite literally "cuck" Niki with Noriko. The problem is that people expect themselves to be cucked when they see the NTR tag and not the other way around so you'd need to come up with a tag for that. (There's also the matter of Maya getting raped by Ami which is a bit more complex)

"Cheating" is the tag that's absolutely missing because we are the ones doing it non-stop, in fact it's the defining tag for this game because if cheating was illegal then Akira would be facing more charges than the entirety of Epstein Island combined.

 

[Detective Dc345]

Looks like Sel is back on the USA. 0.52's public release is tomorrow. So we should be hearing Sel's happy announcement soon.

 

[Moonflare]

1. The reason why there's no NTR tag is because it means "cuckold"

2. "Cheating" is the tag that's absolutely missing

The entire game is about the effects of Akira feeling cuckolded by his brother, and hallucinating rain and static of a television into supernatural shit, while Nozomu bangs Sekai so hard on the next room that he can't concentrate on anything else.

"I am beaten to shit by my brother, that pees on me and leaves me for days in a closet, then when his fiancee saves me and starts raping me, I still have to deal with my lifetime abuser fucking the woman I fell in love with just next door, for years on end" - but sure, "the game isn't about ntr" what? His entire backstory is ntr, and it's the reason for literally everything that's happening.

Also, as I have said:

whatever bro I didn't check the tags, I read your message and assumed it wasn't there I missread somehow

 

[Fire Lord Zuko]

I’m super curious how next update will go. It takes place sometime in the supposed future, clearly…

Will it give us a glimpse into what Ayane’s life is like while married to Akira and having Himawari as a daughter? Will we see the rest of the cast as adults or older too? Will Tsuneyo finally remember the Resets after two failed attempts already?

So much to consider…

I hope we get no previews at all, actually. Because the concept for this next part is one we haven’t yet seen before.

I'd always want previews but I could understand why he wouldn't.

Confirming Himawari is still there tells us she's taking a more active role rather than just pulling them out of harms way. Confirming whether Ayane stays old would be hints that something major has to happen before the reset is complete otherwise we lose our Ayane, which I'm sure we wouldn't based on other Akira trauma. Confirming any of the other girls are there, and their ages would hint at the story. Seeing more of the backrooms offices would mean we'd have to go back and analyze all we've seen again. Seeing Maya could be hella interesting based on the screenshot.

We would speculate more without the screenshots this update than with. Next update with only main and one character's events will just be compared to this update but this update is novel atm.

 

[Moonflare]

I want previews because it's been a long time without LiL already and there's another entire month to go. Don't care about spoilers.

 

[Detective Dc345]

I want previews because Milf Ayane is going to be in them.

 

[Fire Lord Zuko]

To each their own.

If there are previews (which does seem likely), then I think I’m still gonna go in blind. I think it’s a fun thing to do during major updates, but everyone’s different.

 

[TheGoodPastor]

I'm hoping for previews - more than anything just because I don't wanna set myself up for disappointment by overhyping for a month if it turns out this little epilogue segment is moved past quickly or is just something more conventional than our speculation like some flashbacks from Himawari or something.

I look at it like this, post spoilers, post them all, go crazy, but put them in spoilers and then, if you prefer to not see them, you can simply not open them... that way we all win.
