Reminds me of one of the first games I encountered. MC lived with a landlady and roommates, didn't think too much of it at the time - the setup could work in a college town, dialogue wasn't too "family-ish" in general, didn't know that I games were a thing. Even when the landlady started appointing a psychologist I thought "okay, ma'am, you're overreacting to a simple thing as age difference". The the psychologist started talking about crimes, immediately stop, are you out of your mind - and I was a little bit astonished where the problem was. Put it down to prudish American culture (sorry to all Americans for wrongly jumping to conclusions here), but still ...
LOL We do have some weird customs. but I'm actually surprised there's no tags. Takes more than a dev saying there isn't incest for there not to be I would think. Especially when your "neighbor" has her own bedroom in your house, and asks YOU for permission if her friends can come over...

That all said, This has some great story telling and people will always come forth with a nice patch. So I can't complain. :)

Nah I played the versions before the first revamp, then the game neared the amount of the old content again and now there's another revamp.

I bet I even missed another revamp.
Normally I'd complain about a Dev Milking when they revamp their game but not with this because Dev was never selfish with content he never string you along in hopes that you probably be graced with an exposed left boob with each update like some Devs do and besides the story is definitely worthy of a revamp being told best a possible. forgot to mention he actually gave us an option to pick our MC race I can finally play a game as Tyrone Long Dick Style :giggle: Praises to this Dev only other game that did this was Rockin Robin and I was so disappointed when Dev remove that option.

Well, sometimes we read news along the lines of "7 year old arrested for peeing in his garden" because th 6 year old next door could see it and was traumatized for life. If I had neighbors like that I would ask them if I could pick a booger from my nose provided I keep the blinds down and the light out. So maybe it is more realistic than given credit for? ;)

Generally I agree, making the same game three times is a bit tiring. However, for many devs this is the first foray into coding (at least on a more major scale than finding prime factors or greeting the world) and even if everything works, sooner or later too many things are not optimized - at all. Which may make some future ideas more complicated to implement, which may slow down the game significantly, or other inconveniences both for player and dev, and usually all of the above. So I'd argue that revamps can be a good thing, and if they happen early enough in development even may speed up the ending, so win-win-double win.

Where?!
*I wasn't aware this game ever had any good sex animation.
the blond slutty girl that you fuck in the other version, friend of the daughter, the one who wishes to do it again, it had great sex animation although the aspect ratio jumped all over and sometimes it was just 2/4 of the screen, but that could be easily fixed, but now the sex animation that could have been similar with daughter is just replaced with still pics, like I was reading a fansadox comic :p

I dont remember, but the young purple hair virgin that you climax thru her panties, was that still pics or animation?

I'm not sure if you remember, but I posted a review mentioning that the sex scenes were a bit underwhelming way back then. The very early scenes with just animation was pretty bad and everyone could agree I think. But I felt even the first examples of the new system were a bit underwhelming. My reasoning was that there was not enough kinky dialogue and the scene were pretty much over before you can really build up to a release. We had some discussions back then on how to improve it and others chimed in, many disagreeing with my position that lengthy and kinky dialogues are the magic sauce. I can understand that view more and more. My preferences are heavily influenced by japanese style scenes that use obscenely long dialogues (mainly degradation of the females lol).
I absolutely remembered those reviews and conversations and took them to heart. When I get feedback on the game, good and bad, I do study it and consider the strengths and weaknesses in the analysis. I have always found writing sex scenes difficult. It's such a nebulous area when it comes to what makes for a good or bad scene.

Those conversations helped me get a feel overall for what players wanted to see and experience and helped steer a bit in the creative process as I worked out different things. I tried to strike the right balance of dialogue. I didn't want there to be a lot (Cause coming up with original dirty talk gets difficult real quick). But what was there I wanted to time it so that it had some impact in the scene. I wanted it to make sense, what was said and when.

I also wanted different dialogue and internal monologues depending on which path your on, blue or red and I think that came through pretty good as well.


You really found your style I think. First, the extended scene (barrage of all the scenes in sequence taken together) is lengthy enough to get the job done. Second, there are many different positions and angles to keep things interesting. Third, the descriptive text is very erotic! Fourth, the spoken dialogues, while rare, are placed at decent intervals to satisfy the relevant kinks (of course I made her call me daddy heheh...).

Ok, I just wanted to say the update was fire. Good job!
Thanks! I'm feeling that way as well. As I go into these streams and start doing the art, I feel like I know where I'm finally going. This chapter was a good chance for me to get my hands on this entire project and really put my stamp on it and make it mine.

As much as I appreciate the work and effort from the old team, going forward, this is my game.

Cassie is my favorite of all games that I have played in my life..... and I have a mac... :( nooooooooo so close... but so far,
When a Ren'Py game has no Mac version, I build my own with the Ren'Py SDK. It's really simple - unzip pc game version to folder set in Ren'Py config (by default might be "Downloads",) then in SDK: select "Build", unselect "PC" and make sure Mac is selected. Build. Profit.

Edit: While I've had no problems with SDK 7.4.0 (will be trying 7.4.2 soon) some people have. So you may want to try SDK 7.3.5, I have read that it's a graphics card issue and older machines don't have cards which support the new requirements (how old? Mine is a mid-2015 and has a graphics card that can do the job.) So if building with 7.4.x results in a game you can't play, this is probably why.

not all of them for example if you had one of the girl pregnant it does not pass to the current version
Easily fixed. Go into notebook, select cheats. select person you want. modify stats to show pregnancy.
That's how I got the 4 ladies pregnant again.
Though to be honest, I think by the time we get to a chapter where pregnancy show or affects things all the older chapters should have been added to new engine so just need a quick replay.

Good sex which has been animated or sex which has been animated well? :unsure:
Solid question!

You know, not every lives like you do. There are alternate life styles and different family dynamics. Just because you're not poor doesn't mean there aren't poor people. And just because you don't dedicate a room in your house for your neighbor's children doesn't mean other people don't.......even though....well........yeah it's kinda weird. But who says everyone has to be normal!

That all said, This has some great story telling and people will always come forth with a nice patch. So I can't complain. :)
Thanks mate. I appreciate that! :D

Partly. Plus some features like changing the MC's skin tone simply require new renders because that wasn't conceived of when the old stuff was made. So not just artistically but technically much needs redone.
You might want to check in with Vren, who I think has written some code to queue up renders in DAZ, using the command line. i.e. you can perfect your base render to your preference, and then queue up multiple render jobs for each additional skin tone, particularly important to Lab Rats 2 with the procedural/randomly generated models.

When I was chatting with him, he was absurdly helpful and open to feedback/input, so maybe he'd be open to sharing/license his work. While his application of it is not to everyone's taste, I (for one) appreciate the tech/work behind it and can see the application to running renders in batch jobs.
