Ren'Py Lab Rats 2 - Reformulate [v2024.08] [Tristim/LZ_Starbuck/Trollden]

[themagiman]

Can the modders please stop trying to make the game more difficult? It isn't the content we want or at least I don't want it.

Focusing on developing new story chains out or making it so that you can actually dose everyone in the city with some different routes would be nice. Using the hospital game area and such.

Its so frustrating that there are anti cheat mechanisms built into the game to reset the changes I make. Bump the mc energy up? We will just reset it after. Increase a girl's sluttiness? We just lower it over time for no reason.

What the hell man?

hi man can we expect a release soon ? did devs say something ?

They are working on a complete graphics overhaul in DAZ among other things. Rendering takes time when you don't have a server farm.

Have you gone into your bedroom and played with the Mod-settings menu's? You can make it pretty damn easy.

Deciding to keep the cure patent a secret results in your head researcher donating it without asking, leading to a punishment BJ scene. The cure discovery event is triggered once your head researcher's obedience is >= 160. Which disease is curable depends on your research tier with Parkinson's being the most financially rewarding disease to cure at tier 3.

Sakari has a planned cure storyline using the nanobots but aside from the intro event, only a coffee date and very WIP skinny dipping event (which ends mid-sentence) are present in the code.

Thank you for explaining this!

No, I don't buy that.

It was supossed to be a more detailed, reasoned and documented post. Then I realized it didn't worth it.

i'm honestly impressed they were able to get someone to go through with the visual overhaul. that's literally the hell i dont want to imagine for a non profit fap project and i'm speaking from experience

OI As for the strip club, it will happen naturally after Becky and Gabby move out of the mc's house, and after you do all of the Sex Store quests (buy stocks etc) eventually Becky will get involved in bookkeeping and things will go from there. Usually by then, Erica's and Sarah's storylines should be pretty much done.

Thanks, but I've done all those things several times and nada.

The latest developer build compiled with the current mods -> Virgin Tracker, Kaden, Kina, moresomes, Zenpack and RealPornMod 0.63; already integrated within. Added Zenpack, a few more minor dev fixes, Kaden's mod updates, and VT mod fixes. I reuploaded this, on Nov 10, with VT mod fixes, and compiled with an older version of RenPy.
The RenPy release candidate compiled version I had uploaded, led to weird missing image bugs, for images that were not actually missing. Never seen that one before.

When I try to play with Joiplay, Real porn mode doesn't work but the others do. When I interact with the NPCs in the game, there are no videos. When I say start a new game, it does not appear among the active modes, I go into the file, there are only videos, there is no text file like in other mod folders, I wonder if this is why this is happening or because of Joiplay?

I get what you mean but I'm less about making the game easy because I'm already using cheats and more about getting rid of the anti-cheat stuff.

I don't think the bedroom lets me adjust max energy above 300 and there's something in the code base that reduces sluttiness over time that drives me nuts.

Yeah, I'm in agreement. If I want to cheat then let me cheat, I've restarted the game at least half a dozen times, not really interested in repeating the grind every time.

Honestly I think the gameplay is fine where it's at (or rather, where it was at before the anti-cheat stuff). I'm with you in your earlier post where you're less interested in more complicated gameplay and more interested in more content.

I'd love to see more personalities, more unique reactions, more sex positions, more sex dialogue, more variations in dialogue based on personality type/corruption levels, all that jazz. You know, the porn aspect of the porn game.

As much as I admire the modders for the work they do for free, it's getting to the point where I wish the mod would be broken up into submods. Because the problem I'm starting to find is that there's aspects of the mod I'm really interested in (new characters, new storylines, etc.) but then finding myself really put off by the dramatic gameplay overhauls. So many cooks in this kitchen, and there doesn't seem to be a unified purpose. It's like making a big stew and just letting everybody throw whatever they want into it. Some modders are making gameplay changes, some are adding stories, some are messing with existing characters/stories to suit their own preferences, etc. Every update I find almost as much new stuff I'm not keen on as I am stuff that I like.

I guess I'm saying that I'd like to see the existing content fleshed out more rather than more overhauls. I'm honestly surprised there still aren't more personality types.

I got an event where going to the University gave me a mention that 'this was all in this story line for this update'. It did not mention which/whose storyline and I have no idea what happened there with what characters. I know it isn't Nora since I hardly pay attention to her. I do not think it is, either: Kaya the barista (who is Nora's graduate now, I had one date with her) or the VanderMeer student girl that you can tutor (maybe when her score or stats gets to high? Since I fed her quite some serums) I remember there being more story in those characters. So what was it??

There's a teamup event held there where you 'help' two girls study. Erica and Kaya I believe on Tuesday nights?

Never got that event. I did get one where you can have your sister team up as lab partners with either one of those 2 (I switched those 2 out for Lily and she goes lesbian with both I have messed with Erica and Kaya individually also, maybe because I 'improved by serum' both of them the Event became invalid since the stats of those girls got too high??

got another one that got weird. : Kaya broke it off with MC, yet still wants MC to teach her how to please Lily, which ends up giving me

(the Anal option works though)

Is there a way to trigger Ellie somehow?

I’m not sure why, but I couldn’t get her to show up. Now I’m done with the nanobots, and the IT position is still greyed out. I also never got the blackmail event to trigger. I’ve been playing slowly—I didn’t rush through any research or cheat.

It’s a bit frustrating because I remember thinking she was really fun.

Completely agree.

Sadly, these kind of posts are either ignored or taking offence at.

New additions to the main dev team trying to impose their will, it seems.

 

[slobber]
