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

[Leobbb]

Probably never, I remember there was some initiative some time ago to make new models, but nothing came out of it and I think it's dead by now. Model changes is a type of work nobody really wants to touch.

Instead we get the daily max energy bleed. Seriously, why? I mean it's not a problem for me, I can easily find it in the source code and delete 2 lines, but what was the thought process behind this change? Like "We need to change something for the sake of changing things"? Or maybe "Let's piss off the players!"? Or "Let's make more people use cheats instead of playing the regular way"? "Let's have something to waste sex points on forever"? I don't know, why would anyone think that keeping your max energy you worked hard for was a bad idea?

I'm on the mod's discord, and they are still working on new models, but its a very time-consuming work.

Woah why did they add max energy bleed wtf

 

[Muhdurr]

Instead we get the daily max energy bleed.

Is this in the current update? Or the more recent update you get with the BETA version?

PLEASE JUST ADD NEW CONTENT INSTEAD OF CHANGING NUMBER SYSTEMS NO ONE CARES ABOUT

WE DON'T WANT a well designed balanced approach to building a drug empire WE WANT SEX CONTENT PLEASE

It's in the beta, added like a week ago, I don't think it made to the release yet.

I can somehow understand the idea behind having to keep working out from time to time to stay fit, although it really doesn't add any fun value to the game, but the fact that the game can strip you of gains you got through spending sex points or from one time events like home upgrade or the race is extremely bad. If the energy gained through workout was separate and only this energy would decay I'd be more tolerant especially with sex counting as workout but unfortunately it's not the case.

 

[Funny Asian Pirate]

Join the Discord guys and tell the mod devs that you don't want the decay in the game for the final release. Hopefully, the next stable AIO update will come out soon.

Do the modders read these forums for feedback or is the only way to interact with them to join their discord?

They do but the discord will generally let them know sooner since they don't check it often and most of the time its a user on here that just forwards them the bug info or requests.

That's what killed the original game. Please tell me it is not a priority thing.

Part of it is priority, but mostly it is the complexity. With the level of control the player has over the color and translucency of the clothing and hair, basic paperdolls are not simple. I'm also on the LR2R discord, and they did post a list of free clothing assets for Daz that match the clothing currently available in game.

 

[Funny Asian Pirate]

plus you have to make each clothes separately for each body type and breast size right? plus another set for pregnancy.

Ophelia Von Friseur doesn't work in the Beta version. She still appears in the salon but her story won't trigger. I already tried starting a new game. Her story does work with the other version of the game though.

download the latest developer version on Git Hub. The one I’m playing on doesn’t have any problems with Ophelia. It does take feel like her events take a little longer to trigger but I think some of the characters got their quests changed a bit. Make sure you also don’t have crisis events set to 100% in the settings when you are in your room. Some events might not trigger because of that.

Starbuck and Tristim are doing their usual work. I haven't paid too much attention for a while, but it's someone else besides those main two making their attempt at new art

 

[Funny Asian Pirate]

Also make sure you check out the mods from the discord like Virgin Tracker, Kaden, and Kina's modpacks. VT gives cool icons at a glance during sex scenes to see a girl's current status. Kaden lets you make serums with some crazy traits and even lets you have 28 trait slots. They also changed up a few of the character quests or when they show up so it might feel like a different game if yall just played the last stable release.

Quick question: Am I forced to get rebecca and gabrielle pregnant to make them my girlfriends or is there a way around that?

 

[Fossilf]

Current beta broken. Goes to wrong menu after stripping a clothing item during a date, can perform any "acts".

Never found a way around it. Best you can do is wait and give end game pregnancy accelerator to decrease the annoyance.
