Ren'Py Abandoned Lab Rats 2 [v0.51.1] [Vren]

[ParadigmShift]

Keep in mind that 'here' is basically a software piracy website. Contrary to other devs who accept f95zone as a way to promote their work to a broader audience Vren does not post here, at least not openly.
If you want to have your opinion heard by him you'll need to become a member of his patreon, accepting the monthly fee that comes with it.

To be fair, Vren does in fact post on plenty of other sites. Hypnopics-collective being one, and there's a number of subreddits that they frequents, as well as posts their own public releases on. F95 just isnt one of them.

Edit: in all cases, they post under the handle "vrengames"
r/lewdgames and r/NSFWgaming are two of the subreddits I know of

Edit2: Basically why vren doesnt post here:

You must be registered to see the links

He looked at the analytics for his traffic, and F95 didnt even rank on the list. Granted it was 2years ago, but there ya go.

The game seems glitched if I set my research too high. It makes Nora's serum traits go away and I can't make formulations out of them anymore... Not sure what to do with the event.

Also, what do you get out of dosing Nora? Anyone want to spill the beans?

 

[Darkaura]

If you get the aunt or cousin worked up then try to end a sexual encounter before they're done, you get a bunch of cascading exceptions that almost soft-lock the game.

Also, I think Vren in general needs to have a talk with himself about the amount of early-game grinding that's necessary to make these games worth playing. I shouldn't have to install a mod to get to the fun stuff in these.

Yeah I hit that too. Tried to fix the script but ended up in a loop. Looks like the class is missing at least the cousin.

I was aware about the participation on hypnotics-collective, but not about the rest - seems I misjudged the importance of our small community here a little bit. Interesting piece of info however, thanks for sharing!
Regardless, I did not intend to be a critic in any way, I merely wanted to inform Raren that any attempts here on this site to supply any input to Vren would probably be, well, not the best place to put them.

at one point someone made a post about changing hiring parameters so that you can control the age and look of the girls you hire to better suit your tastes but I can't find it. does any one know where i can go to change this or what page the post is on that talks about it.

Age is quickly edited here \Lab_Rats_2-v0.xx.0-pc\game\script.rpy
and search for :

age = renpy.random.randint(18,50)

I remember that post you mentioned, and i think it was fairly recent so if you dont mind scrolling through the last 10 or so pages you should pick it up.

maybe someone has talked about it more recently but the post I saw was made months ago maybe even a year, but I'll look thanks.

Saved games are crashing for me. This is the error I get for an early save. I played on from this point last night for 30 minutes. Today I get this. If I 'Ignore', the game plays on with no characters in it.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

This is a new game, on a fresh install. I believe it's the same bug he had on his last release.

In the changelog it says that you can ask the girls to change their pubic hair, but i can't find a way to do it. I use a mode to change it, but when i do it the color of the pubic hair stays in white, and it can't be changed, even if you choose another color hair. Someone help me

 

[fukmada]

This is ridiculous for a v24 to be crashing this much. lmao
I hope you can fix that.

 

[Deleted member 1897]

Anyone know how to speak to Nora outside her quests? There appears to be a serum trait for her, which suggests that you can talk to her and raise her stats, however the only interaction I can find is turning in reports to her, which doesn't allow for any other dialog.

She should be at the university during normal working hours, once you've advanced her quest a bit.

 

[Deleted member 1897]

Hrmmm... I wonder if its bugged then, I've done all her stuff, I think I may know how I messed it up though.

If you PAY for tier 2 (the 2,000 investment), Nora does not unlock.

If you have Stephanie contact Nora, she is at home EM and N, but at the university M, A and E.

PS: There's also a difference between Talking to her (from the LEFT column) and "visiting" her (from the RIGHT column). I forgot about that at first. The right-side option only happens when she contacts you.

There are a bunch of hotfixes in the bugfixes, which is seperate from the mod. Follow the mod link.

I think 3 new ones have been found in the last 24h, so you may want to wait till they are applied.

You have to wait till she calls you. Then follow her path.

Reporting the bugs would definitely speed up fixing them so that the dev knows exactly what to fix. ^^

Does this have a day limit like the first one?
