Ren'Py Lessons in Love [v0.54.0] [Selebus]

bonus and renaming mc.

The "bonus" flag (false) refers to an abandoned mode of the game in which all sexual content was removed. Thus, "bonus" (true) just means the normal/full game (or maybe it's the other way around, I don't have the game open to check). Eventually it will stop appearing, as that mode was abandoned.

As other people have said, mc has an extensive background, including his name - thus, changing it to yours is counterproductive. On a separate note, if you haven't yet, I recommend downloading the guide mod.

Theory1 indicates “The Ami we met isn’t the same demon Ami we have now” and I have no personal beef with it. In fact, brainstorming when the incursion takes place is a lot easier than contemplating on just how perfect Ami Prime's disguise is since the beginning.

Theory2 sounds interesting but that’s the “more convincing” I’d like Selly to push out at some point; not just the goal she tries to achieve, but also “why” letting things happen in a certain way achieves that goal. "I must cockblock my classmates when my uncle invites them over, but I must do it nicely by playing along and I must not cockblock them more than once unless it's Noriko. I will also be Makoto's personal therapist even though her glasses are stupid and I will also pretend I don't know what's happening during reset2. If I do everything right, I will not need to hide myself any longer because Maya one day will be gone inexplicably and Sensei will be back on Ami route". I know I made it sound unnecessary absurd but I need this kind of convincing in good leg works if Selly is to prove that he has a hidden villain well planted since the beginning.

Well, imagine Ami does know from the beginning; At this point it's just Groundhog Day but with horny teenagers and a space war.

If Ami knows doing A leads to B, B leads to C, and C leads to D...her following a specific path makes sense. She also seems to be the trigger for the resets post Maya prime going pop, WHICH Ami is also kinda the cause of. She dressed up as Maya, she cockblocked Sensei a few times, blah blah, she kinda made it to where they would definitely break the rules and fuck in the end, thus killing off Maya Prime.

Add in the boxes in Maya's room, which we now know were being left there by Ami, which Maya would have Sensei's help taking to the school for unknown reasons, it definitely seems like Ami was pushing Sensei and Maya together. Likely because she realized this is the REAL Akira(The one she wants), and she needs Maya out of the way to do so.

The hints are there, and they go pretty far back, BUT, that's not concrete evidence for Ami always knowing. It could just as much be that this version of Ami shows up when Akira prime shows up as well, which would point to my first theory just as much as the second.

That's the perfect answer, thank you! readen about guide mod and I always love to start game without it and try myself first. I see it's still not updated almost two weeks after game update and I usually download games I like the very first day it gets updated. If it's required, I won't hesitate for a second.

 

[akselx]

After what I've readen in some reviews you both may be right. I'm not a guy who attach myself too much to MC, but it's more fun for me to read it with my name and as long as it's not giving me a reason to change it, I'm staying with it and I don't see it as a crime to share knowledge about changing name. For now, I'm just a X tensei'd to MC body

Anyway, I see you both have knowledge about game, I'll be grateful for any tips about bonus variable

At the end of the day its your playthrough, so do what you are most comfortable. It's just that there's a lot stuff in the game regarding Sensei's name or lack of it as some characters (him including) do comment on that, so I'm not sure what those dialogues would look like after a change. Probably will take out of the story quite a bit.

Trust me, skip the hassle and just grab the guide mod.

There's usually virtually no hint about whose event is coming up next and by the end of chapter 2 there's 35 characters that all have multiple triggers with many events that can only be triggered on a specific day of the week, plus there's certain events that have completely nonsensical triggers. Flick around the sandbox for a bit by all means but Sel's biggest design flaw at the moment is easily the fact that he hasn't incorporated the guide mod or something like it into the game.

There's also a couple points in the game where you're virtually guaranteed to miss out on content if you don't know about them in advance and the guide mod will tell you that with a little red (!) you can click in the hint screen when they're coming up.

As far as updates go they drop on the 1st of every month, minus a couple months a year for breaks. They're substantial, usually 60-80K words long but sometimes longer, so if you get into the game you won't be waiting around for months on small updates or anything.

For now it only affects how MC's described, when he speaks. All the girls still call him "Sensei". But yeah, when it starts looking weird, changing it back is about 8-12 seconds. Not much of work, when I decide it was a bad idea. Ok, a lil bit more, because game keeps resetting this variable everytime I open game not sure, if it's because of game or Sandboxie, but also it's not much of a trouble.

Ok. Now you convinced me I thought nothing can be missed here.

 

[Moonflare]

The guide mod takes two weeks to be updated.

Yes, and we have an answer for that in the way of trigger guides that are posted a few hours after the release. There's a link to it on the first page. So, for people that are up to date with the update, they follow the trigger guides. For people that are late to the update by two weeks, or doing a replay - it's the trigger guide all the way.

Spoiler: bunch of other considerations

Counter point: wiki exists, a have a useful page where all the updates with correlatiled events are listed so you can just go in order.

It's just that there's a lot stuff in the game regarding Sensei's name

Do you guys remember this?

In regards to Sekai, Sensei said that she first entered his life because his brother "met a girl", and she didn't even know Akira existed before she found him in the closet.

How do you reconcile that with Sekai playing peekaboo with what pretty much has to be a baby Akira? That game stops working by the first birthday for just about all kids as they gain object permanence by that point...

I may be misremembering l, but I think i remember her saying that "that's a game your mother used to play with you" or something similar.

Well, how do you reconcile Noriko's age in "Kyoto" if she's already sticking to Akira, and yet Ami hasn't been born?

I'm just assuming it's all different realities because otherwise I have no idea. Maybe Selebus doesn't know how to math.

 

[Anonio333]

Just finished one event and installed guide mod between events. Do I need to check "hints" every time I finish event or notification about missable content appear in some more comfortable way?

Like all happy events, I consider it to be a window outside of time.

Yes. On the technical side, this game is very user non-friendly unless you get used to it.

I don't know if it was ever mentioned here, but since we briefly touched the topic of Sensei's identity, I've always found it interesting how, even though he was a obvious predator from the start, his pedophilic tendencies basically didn't exist until he rediscovered his lost self. It's like he was simonteniously becoming better and worse as a person. Still don't know if it was planned from the start or just turned out this way.

 

[DeanNoriko]

It's a porn game, not a novel, I like to identify with MC.

If I understood you correctly then you are referring to the alternative flavor text Selebus (the dev) implemented to cater to Patreon rules in not having him lust after teenagers and make him an (even more so) wimpy lil asexual person.
Long story short, Patreon booted his ass off the platform anyway, he threw a hissy fit, the whole shabang got scrapped but the flags still exist. Just ignore them.

That being said, the reviews are split and most of the hate Sensei gets is from people not being able to fathom that people with mental issues exist and refuse to play a game that is not about a perfectly normal protagonist (that also can't be named).

Not gonna lie, this image is so good, it made Rika climb a whole rank in my tierlist. Looking forward to her finally getting more attention in the upcoming update.

 

[Bingoogus]

I may be misremembering l, but I think i remember her saying that "that's a game your mother used to play with you" or something similar.

Pretty sure it was Sekai that was playing the game cause another part of the text mentions how she saw in him a chance to satisfy her darkest desire or something... it's been a while and i don't document scenes like the theorycrafters, i don't even remember what scene it was but no doubt one of them will come along to sort this out eventually...

Roger that! Check hints after every event is a thing I can get myself used to

That's honestly one of the things that keeps me intrigued from the very beginning. I know I'm not long in this game, but my first thought after some gameplay time and after reading few comments was that there may be multiple people tensei'd into MCs body. Hope I'll be able to discover much more about it and that future events won't discourage me from playing in which I doubt will happen, because I may prefer lovely harems, but psychological theme is a thing I like outside of porn games and may like it here too, but just never seen anything good.

I'm still salty about it, btw, really wanted to see where the Legend would take us. I can never forget Futaba telling me how she met Rin in primary college. For reasons I still don't understand this was peak Lil related comedy to me.
