[slick97]

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.

So, how stable is the codebase? I tried making a couple of mods (mostly tweaking a few events) but the number of times I had to re-learn the base code and re-write the mods due to refactoring and code changes made me stop trying around 0.51.

Why use console commands when you can change it with the built in cheat at the bottom of the screen.

Best to talk to the dev's on there Discord about modding questions.
They are very active on Discord linked on the OP.

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

About 3 of 7 of the events are complete. Also, I'm in the process of creating an alternate route for Candace so she can also be unlocked through Nora's events, so I'm not in a hurry to go through and make a temporary fix for her content when a more permanent one is coming along soon.

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.

Candace and Ophelia will take more story time when I get around to doing the 4th city council member. Currently:
Jennifer's boss - Financial
University Dean - Education
Penelope - Enforcement
Ophelia's ex / Candace ex - "Services"
Unnamed competitor - Health

Right now there is just a single corruption path for each of the first two, with Penelope being planned for the next major update.
