Ren'Py Lab Rats 2 - Reformulate [v2025.04]

[rb813]

The thing is the game has always been focused around all the things involving the lab/etc. The family/incest has largely been an "Also, this too" content, so its not about pacing, but you're asking for more focus/time to be put on part of the game that has always been (unfortunately for those who like incest) effectively an afterthought after the initial updates that included it back in the day.

I haven't spent a lot of time on the Discord, but when I did take a peek in there some months ago, it seemed like Starbuck's current efforts were largely focused on expanding the mom's storyline. Based on what I saw there, I honestly think the priority list is kinda opposite of what you're saying at this point. The lab part seems to be pretty much complete, they're not continually updating or adding to that. But Starbuck in particular definitely seems very interested in adding more events and stuff for Jennifer.

Depth, not pacing is what I think you guys are asking for more than anything.

Yeah, I think that's a pretty accurate characterization (speaking just for myself personally). Well, depth and also a bit of challenge, which would affect the pacing if you don't use cheats.

But I don't think the family would be any more resistant to it than random strangers that have a husband and kids though, do you?

I do think family would be more resistant, yeah. Just in terms of statistics, I think people cheating on their spouses is a hell of a lot more common than mothers fucking their sons.

I just want new content that helps proliferate the serums. Stuff like the soda event at gaming or take over of the strip club. Something like that for the school would be great or even just hairdresser.

If you want to just PM me and I will make sure the update gets posted to the OP.

You could also PM a mod and get uploaders tag and update the OP yourself.

ADD: I did not get this one posted because it says "all the working mods", if this is the dev's build with the built in cheat mod only then I can get it posted to the OP but if it has all the other working mods added to it then it can be listed on the OP but not as the main download.

Thanks for the offer.
I compiled it again a few minutes ago, with and without the mods (PC/Linux);

A clean Dev build without any mods (1.8 gigs).

You should tell them on Discord that you can compile this game and they can help you get your "Uploader" tags so you can update the OP yourself.

I sent the mods a report to get these on the OP so it could take a day or 2.

How does the Erica storyline work? What are her triggers? I have "fixed" her finances and went for the girlfriend route, but can't seem to advance any further.

You might want to look into 'Take Over' if you haven't already.

Yeah the game is good but started slowing down and I haven't looked at it in a long time.

Whenever substantial changes have been made on the Dev build or mods I compile them and post the archive here. I'm not sure why it matters that they aren't on the front page. Anyone who cares should check the thread... you want the game marked as abandoned just because you're lazy? I updated the game 8 days ago.

It does not matter but some people like me cant or will not use Discord therefore people like yourself take up the slack if new iterations (for obvious reasons) are only posted on discord. So thank you to you and mostly to the devs. My personal post was just participation in discord is not possible for some people even if we understand why its easier for the hard working devs. Not once have ever complained about how the devs work I am grateful for their mod as I am for you posting updates

In the end this game is wish-fulfillment than a realistic office sim.

I would argue this is a management game more than anything else. Looking at the Nora content branch and other individuals storylines there are good storylines based on different preferences but currently the game was designed to not be heavily story driven.

It is open ended and you get the choice to pick up or drop potential storylines with your actions and choices.

Give her a bunch of breeding nanobots and she'll call you up one night. She has an unique breeding event that progresses the story

SDN111 I feel like it's wish fulfillment and management. Def not an office sim though. I just wish more games had a sandbox system like this one. I feel this game does sandbox "right"

I did that but right after giving birth she had her IUD again. So now she has thre breefing fetish and the IUD.

Did you do the generic breeding event with her? I think that breaks her story (not sure)
She has a specific one where she calls you over for some breeding at her place

How high is her "Slut" stat?
How high is her "Obedience"?

Both must be high to get her to stop the IUD.

I just started a new playthrough with the newest version of the game and just starting to work on her.

8 months without update? looks bad, this game is alive?

Hey, just wanted to say thank you for doing all the work of compiling both versions, especially the one with mods. Saves a lot of trial and error especially when one doesn't know where to start like me.

Just one quick question though, are these all the major mods that exist for the game or are there some others that are either not to your taste or incompatible?

If you could spare the effort to just look in the middle of this very page ibnarabi has very kindly complied versions with or without mods.

Yup, generic one.

How high is her "Slut" stat?
How high is her "Obedience"?

Both must be high to get her to stop the IUD.

I just started a new playthrough with the newest version of the game and just starting to work on her.

Obedience is like 160 and Slut is almost maxed too.

I guest something happened with the accelerated pregnancy progress rate that skipped some mid pregnancy event or something.

For those who have the computer to run stable diffusion (prolly 99.9% here), theres a gen AI mod on discord.... theres few kinks to be ironed out, but its runs well for the beta testers there.

You got a "complete and utter imbecile's guide" to installing that and getting it to work?
Github makes my brain turn into screeching modem sounds if there isn't just a simple "Download/install" button.

I can so relate to this! There are people who this stuff makes sense to who have no understanding of how much it makes no sense to some of us. I would be finished if it wasn't for ibnarabi and their fantastic efforts.

Installing the mod, or installing Stable Diffusion without installing Python and using Git?

Well, for SD you could try Stability Matrix (lykos.ai)

It has an automatic installer for literally everything needed to run SD; it installs portable versions of all prequisites autonomously and you can install any number of AI suites in parallel, with shared source folders. All the popular AI image programs like A1111, ComfyUI, (Re)Forge etc. are included.

Stability Matrix itself can also be installed in portable mode so it won't have to pass your windows UAC (in case you don't trust the program) and also refuse the Virtual Studio installation which isn't needed to run SD.
