First up, I've attached a new Business.rpy file that increases the amount of market reach generated by a factor of 5, which should make it much easier to keep serums profitable, especially in the early game. Drop it into game/major_game_classes/business_related and replace the similarly named file. It is save compatible.
Second, the holida...

The focus for the v0.47 release is a rework of the way serums are priced and sold. There's nothing in the new system that adds any new porn content, so it might not be clear why it's worth the time and effort to refine compared to adding new content. I thought I'd take a few minutes and explain why it's worth the work and how it's existence enha...

As I get v0.46 tidied up for it's public release in a couple of days I've been thinking about what part of development to focus on in v0.47. Character renders are still high on my to-do list, but I think they're going to wait for another month or two before I dive in and rework the entire system (I'm hoping for bolt of inspiration on how to impl...

I don't have much to report with update, since all of my work has been on writing new content, but I thought I would check in either way to let you know how it's going!
I've finished up the last (I think) of the writing for taboo revisit events that are being added to Lily and Jennifer this update. Now I need to go through and rig up the c...
2021-10-25 11:22:26 +0000 UTC View PostI've been busy the last few days writing a whole set of new events for Lily and Jennifer, focusing on what happens after you break their taboos. In the current version of the game when you first see a girl naked, touch her, fuck her, ect. you get some special taboo breaking dialogue and then things move along. Once the deed is done there's never...
2021-10-20 05:54:39 +0000 UTC View PostI've spent the last few days tidying up some of the bugs that have turned up in v0.45.1 and it's time for me to get to work on new content. Last month I promised new storyline stuff for Lily and Jennifer (amongst others), but that was delayed due to the strip tease system taking more time than expected. Now it's time to deliver on that promise a...

My last update was about a "quick" detour I was taking, with the intention of expanding the striptease system so I could use it for some new events involving Lily, Jennifer, and a few other character roles. It turns out that was a larger chunk of content than I was planning, and I've been hammering out code, descriptions, and dialogue since that...
2021-09-26 11:52:39 +0000 UTC View PostI started writing some new content for Lily and Jennifer (more about that in the future) and immediately got side tracked. Both girls have a pay strip event, which has you pay them to take off pieces of clothing. This strip show scene has been in LR2 for a long time, and it's really showing it's age. The system doesn't really go anywher...
2021-09-19 09:32:09 +0000 UTC View PostThe results of the last poll were clear, people are interested in more storyline specific content. The next question then is for what characters? Put your votes in now, I'll split my time up among the highest rated ones!
2021-09-17 08:05:35 +0000 UTC View PostI've spent the last week doing some bug fixes for issues that popped up in v0.44, but the worst of that is behind me. It's time to set some goals for v0.45, and I want your input! I'll use the results of this poll to guide my work and decide what should be first up to be add or improved.
One notable thing that isn't on the poll: clothing a...

I've released v0.44.0a, replacing the old links. You can find the links here: Lab Rats 2 v0.44.0a. It should be save compatible with .44.0 saves.
A couple of nights ago I released v0.44.0, confident that my unit and integration tests had caught ...

The last week or so of work has been a scattershot of new content for v0.44 with work spread out over a bunch of different areas. First up were the trance mechanic tweaks - the largest one being making training a once/turn action per girl, instead of advancing time itself.
While adding some new personality based sex responses I decided to ...
2021-08-24 10:10:19 +0000 UTC View PostThank you to everyone who participated in the content poll for v0.44, it really helped me narrow down what bits of content people were interested in and what could wait a little longer. I've also read through all of the comments people left, they were all great feedback and have given me a lot to work with! There are four main things that will b...
2021-08-17 08:40:34 +0000 UTC View PostThe last few days have been spent tidying up v0.43.1, and it's time to set some goals for v0.44. The last few update cycles have been dominated by either necessary infrastructure or new mechanics, so I want to take some time this update and focus on adding some pure content to systems that are already established.
There's plenty of space i...

I've released a patch for LR2 v0.43.0 which fixes several critical bugs, primarily serums being incorrectly applied to people resulting in crashes and inconsistent character locations.

The release of v0.43 is just a couple of days away, so I'm busy finishing up my last few tasks for the update. All of the trainable descriptions and effects have been written and all of the old events have had their sluttiness increases rescaled, which means the only major thing I have to do is rewrite the first serum research tier unlock event....
2021-07-28 10:20:52 +0000 UTC View PostIt's been a little while since my last update post, and progress so far has been good! The old Sluttiness system has been reworked entirely so that there is only a single "Sluttiness" stat, which stays where it is after it goes up or down. The mechanics for trances themselves have been implemented, meaning girls may now slip into a trance after ...
