Lab Rats 2 v0.33.3 Release!
Added 2020-10-08 10:39:14 +0000 UTCLab Rats 2 v0.33.3 is live! Get it here!
Note: There were some issues with early releases of the game not packaging properly. This has been resolved in 0.33.3
PC: Lab Rats 2 v0.33.3-PC
Mac: Lab Rats 2 v0.33.3-Mac
Android: Lab Rats 2 v0.33.3-Android
Lab Rats 2 v0.33.3 is finished and ready for it's public release! This update brings a dramatic overhaul to the character display method, allowing for groups of characters to all be displayed at the same time. All of the existing events and menus in LR2 have been updated, and in some cases expanded, to make use of this new system. There has also been new content added to the game. There is now a multi-staged family games night event, making use of the new display system, and a new sex dialogue branch has been added to all character types. Finally, there have been a host of bug fixes and continued optimisation improvements.
The new multi-character display system provides the ability to show and multiple girls at once, as well as highlight the current speaker of the group. This system mirrors the previously existing draw methods, which should make it simple for modders to update existing content or integrate new functionality. A significant performance optimisation has also been made, allowing animated characters to be displayed four times faster and with a dramatically reduced performance impact.
v0.33.3 has seen the addition of a large new home event, as well as tweaks and improvements to a large number of existing events. The new home event sees you invited to a family games night including Lily, Jennifer, and Rebecca. There are multiple stages and branching options to this event, and it is likely to see further expansions in future updates. Eleven existing events have been updated to make use of the new multi-character display system, letting you watch multiple girls strip down at once, or keep track of rapid back-and-forth dialogue between characters. A new at-work event has been added, adding the possibility of discovering one of your slutty employees masturbating at her desk. Finally, there has been a completely new branch of dialogue added for all characters: girls who like creampies may decide they want you to take off a condom right before you cum.
Enjoy!
Changelog(v0.32.1 to v0.33.3):

*BUG FIXES*

2020-10-10 11:22:55 +0000 UTCThere is a bug in Outfit.panties_covered: currently it checks self.get_upper_ordered() instead of self.get_lower_ordered, so it is actually checking whether the bra is covered.
2020-10-10 07:06:19 +0000 UTCYou may want to turn off animations from the menu for the moment; I suspect something in the new file management system is playing poorly with animation in particular.

2020-10-10 06:52:52 +0000 UTCI was able to get it working by manually unzipping all of the files in the images folder, but the game runs verrrrrrrrrrry slowly. Hoping for a patch soon!

2020-10-09 04:58:34 +0000 UTCI think its a case of missing files. I was able to replicate this but then when I extracted 33.1 into my 33.0 directory everything worked.
