[lil boom toob]

It's a little thing, but I just wanted to mention that I adore the subtitle Reformulate.

Unfortunately, the Renpy PlugIn for JoiPlay has not yet been updated to Renpy8.1. We have some people experimenting with building an Android build, but that has not been successful yet.

Can I get link to download the previous version, it used to work.

I really appreciate your work - great job, great effort, many great content - you have my full respect.

I have two questions (requests?):

1. trim

I'd honestly prefer they keep things as is. The mod team is doing great and I don't want anything more from them that would take away from their motivation and time.

The current commit seems to be the format they're most comfortable with and that is why we have the amazing result that we have now.

Logging activity/changes is probably one of the worst things someone can be bothered to do even when they're getting paid for it (at least, from what I've seen/experienced in the corporate world)

edit: also for the mentions of games similar to LR2 i think that's the beauty of LR2, it provides a really nice skeleton for sand box "fuck the whole city" scenarios. fantasy setting, futuristic setting, the potential is near limitless. fantasy setting of LR2 would be amazing especially with the wardrobe options. there is basically no game quite like LR2 where you knock up/bang so many women (other than incubus city and love+sex 2nd base) even haramase simulator didn't feel like you were doing much progress since most of the women had no identity

You can even make a good Free-Cities portage for Renpy engine...

Is there a plan to improve renders or add new clothes?

 

[TeamHentaiX]

mmm very nice, the new beta version is AWESOME!!

 

[TeamHentaiX]

Hey everyone C: Does anyone know if there is someway for the "Realistic Pregnancy Content" option to have people who may not be on birth control instead of everyone defaulting to using it? I like that pulling out is not 100% effective, but I don't want everyone to default to using birth control. Maybe I could also add pulling out not being 100% effective into the "Semi-Realistic" as well? Does anyone know how to go about doing this?

Go to Preferences in the game option to change it

I'll be the one to say it: I hate incest. Two things I would like to see in this game:

1) A toggle when starting a new game to give Lily and Jennifer different last names than the player. Ideally this would also change the dialogue into some sort of "roommate" situation but I realize that's a lot of work. I like Lily and Jennifer as characters quite a lot but hate having to look past that glaring issue.

1a) Give the player similar storylines to Lily and Jennifer in other, non-relative characters. I shouldn't be obliged to corrupt my sister in order to move Erica's storyline, for example.

2) The ability to sleep overnight with lovers, not just Lily and Jennifer, with the same bonus to love. It's weird to have a fuck session with someone with, like, 150+ love and then just split for home.

I'm not being a shit. If this game wasn't fantastic, I wouldn't want it to be better. This criticism is with all gratitude for what's already been built. I don't doubt there are other players who basically feel the same way.

Is there a changelog for the beta version beyond the git commit log? It can be difficult to find and distinguish (at least for me) the major changes from the minor. If not, anyone mind giving me a quick summary of the changes, and a general direction that the mod is headed in at this time?

Great to see the mod take over as the mainline version of this game after it abandoned. My favorite game here and really underrated due to the lackluster graphics, which never bothered me. To anyone involved thanks for all of your great work!

Thanks Tristim and co for carrying this on. Just dropping some respect here.

There's a mod by Zenupstart on the discord called Noncest that changes the family girl's relation to you. I could've sworn the 2nd complaint is an option - but not in scripted events

Thanks for the plug.

Yeah... Noncest v0.4a (Mostly BETA compatible, with a few nongame breaking bugs) is available on the discord, with some work underway towards a new release.

It's handled differently than the requestor stated it, since I didn't want to go the "landlady & tenant" route. MC instead finds out he was adopted "extra-legally", with some gameplay added around that.

Doesn't fully do what the requestor wanted, although have to say in the base game you can largely avoid the family stuff and not be penalized in the overall game. The team ups with Lily & Erica are pretty limited, and don't block other things. The one major blocker right now is still Gabrielle the Cousin. Reformulate still has her as the gateway to much of the advanced strip club stuff, and Noncest doesn't change that.

As for the sleep-overs. It's there, but you have to enable them in the mod settings... off by default. I think the code could use some updating, as it's a little out of date in style. That's probably why it's no longer active by default.

Anyone use afterd4rk's Nursery Mod? It "adds a nursery able to build in the home hub for your children when born, and serum to age up before interacting". I'm wondering if "home hub" is moved to the Harem Mansion when it's built, or if all my ladies live in the mansion and I'm stuck in my old family apartment with all the babies. Because, y'know, I'm worried about my immersive experience, here.

Always good to have standards. In a game in which you run a shady laboratory you try to keep hidden from regulatory agencies, where slaves you don't pay and whom you force to work naked (with the exception of your cum you let them wear) synthesize illegal mind and body-altering drugs you'll sell to anyone willing to pay so they can do whatever nefarious purposes they want like enhancing high school cheerleaders' breasts, made from drug supplies purchased entirely with sexual favors you forced your slaves to perform on strangers so that you can save your business funds for the strip club and building a sex dungeon, and whose designs were researched by you raping your slaves in front of your other slaves, all to support your ultimate goal of drugging and manipulating married women into getting knocked up with your kids and then forcing them to make their husbands believe those kids were their own so you can create a massive harem of brainwashed MILFs pumping out your brood with unnatural speed, all of whom you have no intention of raising or even financially supporting as a deadbeat dad, it's important to drawn the line at something.



I do have one question though. Lore-wise, why would your "older roommate" Jennifer give you the money to start up this business? And why then would she feel compelled to offer a striptease every weekend just to get back a return on some of her original investment? Just playing devil's advocate and pointing out that just calling her "roommate" or "landlady" and moving along without addressing the driving motiations of why some unrelated person would do the things they do requires just as much suspension of belief as telling yourself "this isn't really my mom / sister, it's just a game"

Now the "mod" seems to be independant are there new girls models (faces) planned?

[FEATURE REQUEST] Add an easy to spot and find feature that tells us how many times we broke a taboo with someone, because I had difficulty figuring that out. I felt like I broke a taboo many times but was told that I haven't broke it enough times yet. Friend told me just now that he had the same problem. He felt like he broke it five times, but it was telling him he didn't break it five times so far. But neither of us knew how to find out how many times we broke it.

Have the same issue with pregnant womens who don't count as pregnant when i ask them to be my girlfriend.

It is being added, in one of the experimental versions the dialogue changed to "Break Taboo X more times."
Additionally, I think currently it only counts a new taboo break after you had the talk again.

I think they must be showing the baby bump for more than 1 day to unlock that option.

Did the Unstable Reaction flaw get removed? I can't seem to roll for it or was my luck just horrendous.
