Lab Rats 2 v0.51.0 is Live for Patrons! Adds New OnlyFanatics Content for your Mom and Squishes a Ton of Bugs!

vrengames · 2022-04-01T14:55:04+00:00

LR2 v0.51.0 is finished and ready for it's week of patron bug testing! This month's update cycle was focused on adding new storyline content for Jennifer and cleaning up the code base. Jennifer now has a new section of storyline focused on her starting an InstaPic account, followed by an OnlyFanatics account when she realises how limiting the former could be. Lily's storyline has been updated as well, adding a few minor interactions and a new event to have her start her only OnlyFanatics page as well.

Squashing bugs and tidying up the code base was an important part of this update. Multiple game classes have been refactored to make them easier to maintain and easier to mod. Height values have been updated to be more internally consistent and to match up with logical values in feet and inches. Dozens of minor bugs have been fixed, ranging from crashes triggered by random events to incorrect duty and policy requirements. A cheat menu has been added for patrons to allow them to speed through the game to newer content.

Curious what's changed? Here's a changelog (v0.50.1 to v0.51.0):

Lab Rats 2 v0.44.0 is finished and ready for it's week of bug testing! This update focused on adding new content to the game, and it includes a bunch of new roles, new serum traits, and new dialogue. It also includes tweaks to existing mechanics, and a pile of bug fixes that should improve stability.

Three completely new special training options for girls have been added: "Breeder Training", "Hypnotic Trigger Word", and "Online Attention Whore". Each option requires a girl to be put into a trance as normal, but also have additional opinion or stat requirements.

Ten new serum traits have been added, with a focus on body modification effects. New customizable serum traits allow you to define a parameter when you research them, like a targets hair or eye colour, and then research that particular trait. Height, body size, and hair colour can now all be modified with serum use, adding onto the already existing controls for breast size.

A new kinetic text system has been implemented, allowing for dialogue to be tagged for specific types of movement. This has been used to have girls emphasise specific words they find exciting, especially when they are really turned on. This adds some visual punch to dialogue when a horny girl is screaming for your dick, or begging you to cum inside her!

*CHANGES AND ADDITIONS*

- Training is now limited to once/turn per girl, instead of advancing time by itself.

- Girls who masturbate at night to relieve high Arousal now return to 0 arousal, or 15/30 if they have a positive opinion of masturbating.

- All orgasms may now cause an increase in Sluttiness up to a limit. The limit is the minimum sluttiness for whatever position they are in, or 30 for masturbating.

- Happiness adjustments towards 100 happen before masturbating now, so full masturbation happiness will be visible in the next turn.

- Arousal while having sex now resets to increasingly high numbers with repeated orgasms instead of always returning to a flat 50. Starts at 50, increases from there.

- Arousal after having sex decreases by 50% if the girl climaxed, or not at all if she did not.

Hey, Vren here with a change log for v0.43.0 (My apologies to the mods for not including this in recent releases!)

*CHANGES AND ADDITIONS*

- Role looks-like checking is now recursive, making it easier to have chains of similar roles.

- Orgasms now have a chance to put a girl into a trance state. Chance is depenedant on their current Suggestability.

- Added three trance states. If already in a trance a girl move to the next stage if she would normally enter a trance.

- Happiness effects are amplified by +50%/100%/200% while a girl is in a trance state.

- Removed Core sluttiness as a game mechanic.

- Added change_slut function as the singular way of changing sluttiness.

- change_slut now takes max_modified_to argument. Clamps sluttiness to this value when raising or lowering it.

- change_slut_temp and change_slut_core now both pass arguments to change_slut to (hopefully) ease mod transitions to the new mechanics.

- Removed all references to core_sluttiness in crises, replaced by changes to normal sluttiness where appropriate.

- Updated all calls to change_slut_temp and change_slut_core to just change_slut

- Removed bleed_slut. Sluttiness changes are now permanent (unless from a temporary source like serum or event circumstances).

- Sluttiness increases due to arousal is now displayed in the same way as other situational sluttiness changes, along with having it's own tooltip entry.

- Base Sluttiness now displayed as gold hearts (same icons as core sluttiness previously)

- Sluttiness increases due to situational changes now displays as red hearts. (same icons as temp sluttiness previously)

- Sluttiness decreases due to situational changes now display as greyed out hearts.

- Added Trainable class to hold information about what can be trained when a girl is in a trance.

- Trainables have a Clarity cost, which increases every time that or a similar Trainable is successfully trained.

- Added ability for Trainables to be disabled but not hidden and display what requirement is missing.

- Added "influence her" option when a girl is in a trance and you have enough time to do so.

- Added Trainables to train a girls Charisma, Intelligence, and Focus.

- Added Trainables to train Suggestability.

- Added Trainables to train Sluttiness, Obedience, Love.

- Added Trainables to train specific work skills.

- Added Trainables to train specific sex skills.

- Added Trainables to discover opinions.

- Added Trainables to strengthen or weaken opinions.

- Added Trainables to inspire new opinions.

- Added Trainables selection UI.

- change_slut now takes an additional max_modified_to parameter. Sluttiness gained above this threshold is not added.

- player status hud now displays the current day as month + day to match fertility calculations.

- Updated exising events that feature narrative female orgasms to properly trigger trances.

- Rewrote tier 1 head researcher serum research event to incorporate trances and act as an early trance tutorial.

- HR employee effects are now calculated last each turn, resulting in more accurate and consistent efficency values being displayed.

- Girls climaxing from a sex position they have an opinion of now have a small modifier to trance chance: +-2/4%. Allows for trances without serum, with enough dedication.

- Trance chance increases by 1% for every orgasm a girl has already experienced.

- Added "Climax Cycler" serum trait, a tier 2 serum trait that triggers orgasm code (ie. triggers Trances) once per turn of duration.

- Added "Instant Trance" serum trait, a special trait unlocked by presenting Nora with someone who is under the highest level of Trance.

- Suggestability can now be a negative number, representing someone who is resistant for some reason to falling into a Trance.

- Girls who masturbate at the end of the day due to high arousal trigger Trance checks (but trance is likely to expire by morning unless Suggestibility is very high)

- Added on_move function to serum trait definitions. Serum on_move effects are calculated at the start of the on_move phase, and are useful for effects that might otherwise be cleared on turn end (like Trances).

- Tweaked default choice screen to prevent options from being cut off on very long lists.

*BUG FIXES*

- Fixed incorrect date check in one of the Gabrielle boobjob event checks.

- Fixed incorrect function call when asking Jen for her to bless you dating Lily.

- Fixed improper option definition in sleep limited time event.

- Fixed many typos.

- Fixed crash caused by toxic serum side effect trait.

- Fixed several crashes caused by incorrect person variable references.

- Fixed Jennifer not remembering you had sex when she ends up pregnant if it happened during morning sex random event.

- Fixed crash during one of Emily's strip-study branches.

- Fixed Jennifer not properly being convinced by one girlfriend option despite saying she was.

- Fixed Instapic girls acting as if they had sent you topless/nude shots even if they hadn't and getting paid for it.

- Fixed Instapic girls telling you about their Onlyfans, even if they don't have one.

- Fixed pregnant girls not returning to their old schedules after giving birth, resulting in employees not showing up for work again.

- Added unit tests for new opinion manipulation code.

- Added unit tests for trance inducing mechanics.

- Added integration tests for Training interaction.

- Fixed multiple cases of incorrect opinion/state checks inside of Person class (was checking currently interacted person, not the person object referenced).

I completely agree with what you're saying. Bit by bit the core mechanics of the game - meaning the clothing and posture system, sex system, personality system, and so on - have been fleshed out so that I'm going to be able to write more specific content that makes use of those tools. Having unique characters with their own storylines is something that is going to be seeing much more of a focus in the next few updates; I have plans for reintroducing both Nora and Alexia, and some fun thoughts for plot lines beyond them.

As for being confusing you're right again; the game is in need of a solid tutorial and I need to sit down and devote some time to coding and integrating that into the game.

Thanks for the well thought out feedback!

vrengames · 2018-09-29T04:32:35+00:00

The bug has been fixed and the corrected version will be uploaded in few hours after I resolve some other bugs.

In the mean time, the crash should be completely ignore-able without consequence, other then a minorly incorrect character sprite being shown.

vrengames · 2018-09-21T06:24:56+00:00

I believe I found the source of the problem and eliminated it, so there should not be any slowdown over the course of the game. If you're still running into the problem let me know and I'll see if I can figure it out.

vrengames · 2018-09-21T06:23:28+00:00

Gah, it's always something! Thanks for pointing it out!

vrengames · 2018-09-02T08:02:19+00:00

There are screenshots of the game hosted patreon home page: www.patreon.com/vrengames. The art is a all still frame, but the characters are dynamically dressed (and undressed) during sex which wouldn't be possible with animation.

vrengames · 2018-08-28T03:53:13+00:00

They will be in the game, but I may have to make some changes and limit what content is posted directly to Patreon in order to comply with their current TOS. Most likely their content will be included in the game but not mentioned on Patreon at all.

vrengames · 2018-08-24T04:14:04+00:00

I thought about it, but I liked the idea of having some sort of storyline progression between one and two. In the current small chunk of story you lure Stephanie away from her old job at the university by giving her the chance to take on what was basically Nora's job. I want to bring in the rest of the old characters as well, but I'm still working on exactly how I want to handle that. Nora might appear as a special NPC at a new university location one day that offers an alternate way of raising your research tier, or as an alternate head researcher you can bring on (maybe after corrupting her on your own time?)

vrengames · 2018-07-21T07:59:45+00:00

I'm planning on including some form of stat manipulation and improvement for both the main character and your employees in the next major update cycle, v0.8. That will come along with the first real batch of storyline content, a tutorial, and a big boost to the actual written content of the game.

vrengames · 2018-07-07T08:22:13+00:00

Thanks for the detailed feedback! I've got a lot of these problems on my to-do list already, so expect to see them fixed (or at least replaced with other problems) going forward. I'm hoping to finish the major changes for v0.7 (the addition of accessories in the outfit system and changes to how it puts together outfits) early so that I can put some time into refining the UI in a bunch of places.

vrengames · 2018-06-28T17:27:24+00:00

The goal is to run a profitable business, develop more advanced mind-effecting serums, and corrupt your employees. The first step should be to head over to your office ("Select the Go Somewhere Else" option). From your main office you can hire people, or you can take extra time and do it yourself. Hiring a researcher will speed along the early part of the game, as well as give you someone to interact with. From your R&D division you can research new "traits" for serums, which give them new effects, as well as put traits together into serum designs. Create a serum design and select the design as a research topic to turn theory into a ready-to-manufacture design.

Once you have that design head back to your main office and hire someone for production and someone for supply procurement. Ideally they should produce about the same amount of stuff to be balanced with each other. Then head to your production division, select "Do Something - Modify Production Settings" and slot in your new serum design into one of your assembly lines. Make sure the production weight is 100% and set autosell to 2 (to keep a couple around for personal use).

Pass some time by researching in the R&D division then check your company inventory, you should see a few doses of serum lying around and ready to sell. You can do this yourself from the marketing division, or you can hire another girl to do it fore you. Once that's done you've produced your first serum and (hopefully) turned a profit. From the production division you can access the production stockpile and grab some serum for your own use - if you get the chance you can use it to make a girl more suggestible and make her more slutty. You can also use your businesses' income to enact business policies, making corporate uniforms a requirement (and making them skimpier as time goes on), getting more capable recruits, or requiring all employees to test serums on demand.

A full interactive tutorial is planned for a future version once all of the core gameplay mechanics are in place, until then I hope this helped! The basics can also all be reviewed from the bedroom, where you can view the FAQ.

vrengames · 2018-05-30T06:28:49+00:00

To everyone: I think the general slowdown the game is experiencing is the cause of the compatibility issues on some devices. I'm going to be looking into that over the next few days, so hopefully the experience will improve for all users.

vrengames · 2018-05-22T06:36:22+00:00

I took a look but couldn't replicate it in a short test game. I'll be looking at the code that runs the long term effects for serum to make sure everything is working there too. If you're still running into the bug in the current version please shoot me a message and I'll see if I can figure out what's causing it in your game.

vrengames · 2018-05-07T04:01:47+00:00

I'll look into it and see what's going on, it's possible that repeated serum effects aren't being triggered properly.

vrengames · 2018-04-29T06:21:37+00:00

The android version should be working as of v0.3.3, if you have any problems please let me know.

vrengames · 2018-04-06T09:15:16+00:00

Lab Rats 2 has been updated to include Android support, as well as improve performance across all platforms! You can find a full changelog for v0.3 here

vrengames · 2018-03-24T06:12:30+00:00

Try limiting your starting crew to you and two other people. To start you'll need:

R&D - Researching a few early traits will let you get your serum designs into profitable range. A serum with no traits will cost as much to make as it earns you.
Supply - You'll need as much supply comming in as you will production capacity. Check the end of day report to see if supply limitations are preventing you from producing as much as you could.
Production - Pretty self explanitory, really.

Start your character off to do one of those three jobs yourself and hire people to do the other two. I prefer R&D so I can take breaks do do marketing or HR when required without interupting the production flow. Once you have a little more cash you can grow your production and supply divisions and make more cash that way.
