Does anyone know when the next non beta update is planned on being released?

P.s. I love this game and want to play more of the story, they have done great thing since Vren keep up the good work
The next story bit are up for bughunter, mostly for Mom and Kaya, then we gonna prolly have some bit of code cleanup before next AIO. I'm not sure if the new graphics will be done by then either.

Have you tried the beta? Doing the GitHub Ren'Py Developer thing for the beta might seem a little intimidating, it really isn't hard, and once you have it working it takes two commands to update. Using Git Bash is way faster than downloading the whole thing over for every change. I was afraid to try it but I am hooked now. I wish all games updated this way. The instruction on the OP Beta Version Tab work.

alright I cloned it an everything but can't understand how to actually start the game with the SDK help

Nvm I found it from Discord:
Tristimdorion
The renpy sdk has an 'exe' file run this, it will open the interface, bottom right click 'preferences', and set your 'projects directory' to the folder where you have the folder that contains the clone folder, close preferences and refresh project list, Lab Rats 2 should be available as project, select it and press 'Launch Project'

Hello everybody.

I discovered this game few days ago and have to admit I really enjoy it. Beside the lust part, it's actually a fun game to play.

Thanks to the actual devs who keep it alive as far as I understand the backstory.
Another thing being how it is apparently some kind of pain in the ass to do so.

I always had respect for modders and people who add content and keep old or abandonned games alive (ref Stalker Anomaly as instance)

No ass licking, I' geniunly thanking you guys.


So the other reason I'm here is, at first I was not posting and asking on the proper topic. (original game)
People led me here. Introducing myself and asking:

If I get it right the IT projects system and Ellie are exclusive to this version right?
could I have a bit of details about green and pink color please? (in Ellie's "review IT projects" menu, where you can switch colors of a known ptoject)
If the game told me how it works, I missed it...

Is it related to the same colors of serums?
How does this affect my designs?

A problem with Alexia and the company model photoshoot for the 2023.09 version.
When I first made her the company model, she was the only person in the Marketing Division. I was unable to actually do any photoshoot nor remove her as the company model.
After I hired another person for Marketing, I managed to change the company model from Alexia to the new girl by using the "Move her to a new division" option on Alexia.
However, now I can't even do the photoshoots with the new girl. The option is greyed out, saying "Advertisement is still running." This didn't change even after a week of in-game time.
Is this totally bugged out on this version or is there a workaround? And if the bug is fixed in the next update, will the save files be compatible or would I have to start a new game?
I don't have the save before I made Alexia the company model for the first time, sadly.

On Op (opening post) there is a link to the discord of the reformulate game where you can also ask questions and download the current in development versions and a few mods. Unfortunately can not answer your question since never noticed the different colours myself when playing. As far as remember can unlock them all though one or two might be work in progress.

For definitive answers ask on discord, you did take photos with sexual uptions with Alexis already with advertizing option after? If not it will be bugged, since as far as I know in latest version only Alexia can open that route. If did take the photo's with advertizing after with her, look if when talk to her still have option to fire her as company model. If so do that. (third column when talk to a girl)

If not you likely bugged yourself out and save games rarely are compatible over versions and considering the amount of streamlining of code that is taking place according to an earlier posting, pretty sure will not be with next version or current in development versions can find on discord.

No photoshoots took place at all. I appointed Alexia as the company model and no further development happened with her.
I guess I'll wait for the new update.

If you can still fire her as company model the actions might still fire with her, I just do not know. She should first approach you with an idea about business cards. but yeah there may well be a new version in a couple of weeks. Starbuck did her story updates at end 2023 and Tristim and others seem pretty busy with changes and bug fixes based on that. So no promises since I have no idea what is needed, but something seems to be coming.

Hmm, I didn't see the business card event before I appointed her as the company model. I'll remove the new girl from that position and will see if the event fries properly. I might've broken the proper sequence by giving Alexia the model position too early.

Any idea when they are releasing it the next version without the need to clone and everything else?

Playing the trial version, any idea if/how we can visit non story characters at their homes? Can obviously on dates, but that seems to be the only way.

Also, I'm wondering if there is a CD on the "My Mother/Daughter just got divorced/graduated and needs a job" event? if so, where in the code base could I adjust that?
