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

[Deane9850]

Well, I took my time reading your post, three times; and what it seems to me my post triggered all those "bad spirits" inside you to bail out.

First and foremost, having a roadmap, a milestone schedule or whatever alike, only implies the dev team have solid objectives to achieve before adding extra/ cosmetic content. FYK, there's only a half a dozen projects doing this in all this site, and I respect them despite liking their job or not.

What I cannot stand is all those self-called "devs" that do what their horde of mindless fanboys tells them to do.

As I have my suspects your reading comprehension is clearly... let's say "biased", I'll claryfy that for me this dev team belongs to the 1st group. At least, for now.

Yes, I'm on Discord too (surprise) and the only chanel that's really worth of my attention is #git-updates. About the DAZ rework, if I were only skimming the channel, I'll have no complaints about it; but the fact is there are no mature faces/ mature bodies planned, and the "dark" skin color doesn't include black facial features, besides over-tanned white people. We can discuss dressing progression later if you wish.

Paid by companies? Where the hell did I suggest that? But anyway, I don't think they'd reject an stable extra money income.

I know I'm a Mr. Nobody, and I know my position on this, is just expressing my opinion in a forum.

Written words limitation is they can transmit no tone, is the reader who gives it.

I know your cooperation in the project, and I thank you for your work and time, same level as the entire team; but please, don't put words on my mouth.

Best wishes.

so yea.. we do have a roadmap.

Are energy drinks broken in the current develop version? I've created 3 different ones now but even though I've made sure they're at attention 2 and there's no nanobots, I still can't send out any energy drinks on Wednesdays, I don't even get any event to pick which drinks to send.

I don't remember having any issues with this last time I played, though it was a long time ago so I don't remember the exact details, is there something else required to trigger the event on Wednesdays?

For me another event happens at the same time when Alexia is asking. This prevents the asking. So if you have the event where you try bots on an employee, skip that and the asking should trigger. If you have done all the prerequisits the others have written.

Thanks! I could've sworn I had tried skipping the bot-test before but I must've remembered wrong. This time she came to pick up the serums when I just waited in the office instead of testing nanobots

The model overhaul is not even in the top ten priorities right now

Should be the top priority as this is the main thing that keeps the game from becoming great.

The scope of a model overhaul is an insane project in general especially for a team which does not have the original tools made to make those original models and is doing this for free. There are thousands if not hundreds of thousands of individual images stitched together in the current system. If they try changing everything to a completely different method of modeling then they likely need to rebuild from scratch a significant amount of the game. No matter what path they try it would be a significant time sink which is why it is not the main priority. To my knowledge (from remembering reading someone else's reply to either the post you responded to or a similar one) it is being worked on by one person to either add more options to the current gallery or creating a new method.

And if you refer to the one of Elkrose's posts above that work is almost done. Thing is, it's already a pretty good sandbox experience. Wouldn't hurt to make the model and sex part hotter, the main reason why people play this game in the first place.

Tbh the main thing keeping it from being properly sexy is that all the women are just floating in midair and I just have to assume a ghost is having sex with them. The outdated models are something I could easily overlook.

 

[Deane9850]

As a counter to floating ghost sex argument, I'd say its 101% better then having NTRed by a floating penis XD

How can you be NTRed by your own penis?

 

[Urruah]

It's a flying ghost penis from space.

maybe referring to the NTR mom events? (not sure ) cuz those would be floating penises

Last I checked I dont have a floating penis.

You also (hopefully) don't own a pharmaceutical company or drug women to have sex with them. It's a game, with the floating penis potentially representing the male without having to depict (or model) the male.

That's not to say all males are represented equally, with regards to size, skin color, etc. but I don't think that's what you have a problem with.

 

[Urruah]

Honestly, I would even find mysterious floating space penis superior to just making weird poses.

maybe you need the realporn mod?

 

[FusiFranse]

I had it briefly and hated it.
