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

[ramvivat]

Hi! and is there a way of debimbification, "legal"? the event with Stephanie, when she took this bimbo serum and then took the counter-serum - does this mean that such a debimbification can be developed, that is, bimbification is reversible? or is the event with Stephanie just a "thing in itself", a game convention, "god from the machine" I don't know what to call it.

Anyone else getting errors when loading a save from 2024.09 beta version? Normally i'd click ignore and go ahead on most Renpy games but this restart it to start of the game.

Edit: Checked on older version the save seems to be fine. The error screen is in spoilers.

For additional information, Starbuck also stated in this post that they're currently working on the save compatibility issue.

I remember hearing a while ago that there's not currently any way to un-bimbo Candy, if that answers your question.

thanks for the answer. I just thought so, or rather, I hoped that during this time (2023...2025) in-game science had advanced and they had invented a debimboficator - in other words, the authors took pity on Candy and decided to return her old personality... well, that means I was unlucky again =)) maybe I'll ask again in a year or two, maybe I'll get lucky then...

The plotline for curing Candace's bimboification exists within the game files, it just can't be triggered. The script is attached if you want to take a look at how the event would unfold.

'scuse moi but pourque? =) is there some in game mechanics what "not wants" to trigger the event, and for Candy - to be normal?

All of the events tied to curing her bimboism have their requirements set to always return false, meaning they will never trigger in-game.

Found a temp fix for this so called softkey_not_visible issue in the joiplay forum lol...
Just extract and place the file in the 'game' folder

Is that because those events aren't actually written yet?

How do you advance Lily's anal taboo break quest? After choosing the "Let me change your mind" option she says to ease mom into the idea of her taking pictures for money. I've tried helping her take instapics and have requested every option available for her to send me nudes, etc. on instapic but nothing has happened. I know I could just make her love incest but I'd like to go through the event and right now I don't see any way to do that.

It's been a while, but I think that's the one where you have to get Mom to taking pictures with Lily (after you tell Mom about it, which might be a one-time event that locks you out if you make the wrong choice).

Yea maybe I did something wrong somewhere because I'm not even getting an option to tell Mom about anything. It looks like my only options are to keep breaking the taboo or make her love incest.

Also, do you happen to know if you can get locked out of triggering the teamup between Erica and Lily? I've already made Erica my girlfriend and have done the get to know and workout option a few times without her saying anything about her financial situation.

The events for the story are also written (see this post). Candace is a mostly forgotten character, which can probably be contributed to the following:

1. She's obtained late into the game, requiring Ophelia's questline to be completed
2. Out of all of the department lead roles, her's has the least impact
   • Sarah (Lead HR) does the weekly monday meetings with several events tied to that
   • Alexia (Lead Marketing) has a few events tied to her such as patents and advertising
   • Ashley (Lead Production) drives the personal serums mechanic for MC
   • Stephanie (Lead Research) has several events tied to her
   • Ellie (Nanobots) even has events tied to her unique role/background
3. Starbuck seems more focused on the city council plotline and having character plots tie into that

Rather tragically Candace is more of a throwaway character that doesn't fit as well into the future plans for LR2.

I'm going to use this post to share a comment made by Starbuck on the Discord:

Feature: Scheduling System
April 26th, 2025

Make a new event scheduling system. As we continue to increase the size of the game and the number of girls and systems available, events are beginning to step on each other and it is possible for events to be missed or skipped accidentally due to the low availability of time slots.

The new scheduling system should make it clear to players what events are occuring when, and allow for some level of interactivity. Schedule is made on a rolling weekly basis, so players can see a week in advance what events are scheduled when. If a mandatory event isn't scheduled for a time slot, show players what optional events are scheduled for a given time slot.

This feature is partially implemented, but it will remain in beta for some time while all existing events are converted to use it. Events will be converted to use the scheduling system as I get to their characters when I convert them to the Story Path system detailed above.

Additional functionality not yet implemented, is for MC and his personal secretary to be able to interact with his schedule, EG plan dates or cancel/reschedule them.

Oh yeah, I unlocked her and I didn't even realize she was supposed to be the department lead.

They just added a new route to discovering Candace via the new Nora story path..... Don't think it's fully completed but the groundwork is there, so maybe once that route is completed then Candace may have more work done to her

can someone tell me whats been added in this version? I know its a continuation of the original and this is a new update. I also know that they have a link to their changes but the reason im asking is because it wont load for me. Everytime I click the link it brings me to a site of just random boxes.
