Planning for v0.37
Added 2021-01-12 11:39:52 +0000 UTCWork on Lab Rats has been a little slower the last two or three days due to a hobby grabbing my interest, but it's time to sit down and get to work. I have a laundry list of potential features to add and content to write, but I'm interested to hear what people would be most interested in seeing added inside of the next update or two.
My personal instinct is to add more storyline progression for Jennifer and Lily. Both of them have event chains that trigger and progress in the early game, but after a few weeks those run out without any satisfying ending. Other possiblities high up my list are to add new business policies to make corrupting your employees en-masse possible, more relationship specific events (and maybe entirely new relationship roles), and expanding other existing storylines for side characters like Emily and her mother.
Leave a comment and let me know what you'd be interested in seeing. I'll be looking through and giving it some thought over the next few days while I fix up some bugs and knock off some quick-and-easy's from my TODO list.

pierce, tatoo, and ass enlargement might be great?

2021-01-17 12:52:05 +0000 UTCAn issue I've noticed, as you get a girl really into sex, she starts to be bored with every type of sex. Could we have at least some positions that the game recognizes as always comfortable at least (not boring)? Piledriver for instance?

2021-01-16 04:10:27 +0000 UTCWhat I'd love to see is for more events for Lily and Jennifer. I can think of plenty of new events id like to see. Like you can sneak into Lilys bedroom whilst shes not home and smell her dirty panties only to be caught by her or Jennifer. Also for Jennifer to catch the player and Lily having sex if you're being too loud. Also would like to see more of events in the bedroom whilst they're both sleeping or when they're in the shower. I would also like to see a Grandma character made into the game, to complete the family would be great.
2021-01-14 11:05:31 +0000 UTCOne thing that makes it hard to interact with characters who aren't family or employees is that you never know where to find them. It's easy to find your employees and relatives, so they get all the attention. If random characters had more regular locations, like Alice is always in the mall during the day, it would be a lot easier to have relationships with them.
2021-01-13 11:19:15 +0000 UTCTo me, what really sets LR2 apart is the random content, not static story or characters. Content that can apply to any character or employee creates a lot more replay value than material tied to one person. So more employee events, more random events with people around town. When you switched Alex's photo events to work for any employee, that was great. You could do the same thing with instapics, game nights, Rebecca's wine nights, or Gabbie's blackmail. Other women in town could ask you to help with pictures or ask you to invite a group to their house for games.
2021-01-13 11:17:42 +0000 UTCI would like to see the advancement of existing unfinished threads before new dangling threads are created. The Lily/Jennifer InstaThot thread, the implications of Jennifer's promotion thread, and the Wednesday poke-her night thread all feel unfinished. There's also what I feel to be unexplored potential re: Gabrielle and Lily while they're staying over (the duration of which I feel is too short to accomplish much btw), especially the weird scene where Gabby busts in and demands to be left alone.

2021-01-13 01:49:49 +0000 UTCIt is currently possible to have Emily's mother leave her husband, but this does not affect the post-Tutor dinner event. Perhaps there is some scope for additional content there?

2021-01-13 00:42:48 +0000 UTCA few things that I think are missing in the current game are: 1) the ability to finish the "Tutoring" storyline and hire the girl to work at your company. 2) the ability to train up someone's sex skill level. 3) ways to trigger more random events like the skill training seminar. and 4) More clothing options that allow for Latex-like outfits. Issues with poke through on skin-tight clothing might prevent this though.
2021-01-13 00:18:41 +0000 UTCA punishment system for Lilly at mid to high obedience levels would be nice. I also agree with DeMorgan about a event for paying off the mortgages. For people who want to be controlling the PC could acquire the debt from the bank so that Jennifer owes you the money.
2021-01-12 23:34:26 +0000 UTCmore lilly/jen stuff sounds great :)

2021-01-12 22:40:45 +0000 UTCThe intro implies that Jennifer took out a mortgage to her home to pay for the company. Making enough money to pay that off could introduce new Friday events or make other major changes to that relationship.
2021-01-12 22:23:51 +0000 UTCThere is to easy to corrupt employee. Better do something to make high level of corruption dificult to archiwe and problematic to maintain. There is nothing normal in walki

2021-01-12 21:46:49 +0000 UTCJennifer/Lily need to go further in the Instapic event. Your webgirl idea could also added.

2021-01-12 18:58:06 +0000 UTCwould love to see more of Jennifer's promotion event chain

2021-01-12 18:46:35 +0000 UTCExpanding the new Night/Morning event to your aunt after drinking would be nice.
2021-01-12 18:44:34 +0000 UTCYou articulate a number of different scenarios with which I agree. Many thanks!

2021-01-12 18:13:07 +0000 UTCPlease forgive my presumptuousness (and for sounding like a broken record at this point), but while I would love to see more of Jennifer and Lily's story (as well as Emily and Mrs. Vandenburg's stories, and an escalation of card game nights), for me a natural extension of a lot of these scenarios is girl-on-girl: Lily kissing Jennifer during a photo shoot, your aunt kissing her sister during game night, etc. Unfortunately, this would probably mean either developing a way to present multiple girls in the same frame, or rendering new poses, or both (though I should note that the missionary, doggy, standing doggy, against wall, and kissing poses would allow another girl to be layered over them rather easily, though you would have to render new poses for the second girl). As a caveat: it *is* your game, after all, and you may not intend to include girl-on-girl content at all. Moreover, I realize that you went through a lot of trouble to get multiple frames working, so that may not be where you intend to go. On the other hand, LR1 had girl-on-girl content, and doing so right now would lay the groundwork (so you won't have to do it later!). Regardless, your development of the game remains committed and responsive, so whilst I may continue to beat this particular drum, I'll be excited for whatever content you produce.

2021-01-12 17:53:19 +0000 UTCPersonally I'd like to see more content related to another mind-control company starting up in town, but that's just me.
2021-01-12 14:55:19 +0000 UTCWould definitely like to see more of the dual insta-pic storyline. A lot of room for play options with Jennifer, but room for some twists too. Maybe Lily decides to start livestreaming. Maybe the event between friendly employees looking at porn could mention one of them being a fan of Lily's account without realising you're related. -I think the strip for money options need a resolution at the end if you get there. If not sex then maybe a dialogue option where they tell you a secret fantasy or something. -The card game night is great but could be expanded. Maybe drinking as a punishment and watch them get drunk. Maybe an option of throwing a game, so you can see their reaction to you stripping. More options like kissing or spanking at top S levels. -Gabrielle doesn't really react to seeing you at the club even if you speak to her or watch her show. Some dialogue/interaction when she notices you there would be nice. -The ability to unlock more company model slots that the girls compete for but you can set rules over. -Some interactions between mother/daughter employees would be nice. Right now there are very few ways of using the incest personality trait. -An employee of the month award that slutty employees will try to coerce you into giving to them.

2021-01-12 14:54:27 +0000 UTCBig Yes for more storyline for Lilly/Jennifer, and the storyline off the new job, one event before the interview, and just the report of how it went, you could have falling a possibility with a repeating evento until x slutty. Nora could be convinced to switch to the private sector. But good work on the last release.

2021-01-12 13:33:01 +0000 UTCI really like the idea of more corruption ideas for employees, maybe some more events to slip them serum would also be nice. I also like the idea of expanding relationship roles, particularly if you could form some sort of harem of willing devotees, rather than just having one girlfriend.
2021-01-12 13:30:42 +0000 UTCAdd in a "meet the family" scenario where you introduce a girlfriend/lover to Jenn/Lily. If you are introducing someone you are having an affair with, highly slutty Jenn/Lily might just hit on them too. If you are introducing a girlfriend, you might need high obedience instead.

2021-01-12 13:03:15 +0000 UTCI would love to see more with Jennifer/Lily - particularly with the relationship, i.e. girlfriend status or variations of that. We can currently change what we call them etc, but I would love if we could set a "relationship role" ( aka girlfriend etc) that governs how we interact with them. For example are they a loving girlfriend or a willing/unwilling slave.

2021-01-12 11:56:21 +0000 UTCAlso, would love to hire Emily for work!
2021-01-12 11:52:01 +0000 UTCOmg yes! How about adding girldfriend roles/story for Jennifer/Lilly? And then do Rebecca and Gabrielle π
