Lab Rats 2 v0.30.1 is finished it's week of bug testing and ready for it's public release. This update introduces a new character with a unique storyline: Emily. Emily is a student of your ex-boss and mentor Nora, and she turns to you for tutoring to pass Nora's university course. This update also comes with significant performance improvements. Active memory usage and game responsiveness have been improved throughout the game, with the groundwork laid for future optimisations as well. To top it all off, seven new base faces have been added to the game, more than doubling the number previously available to the character generator.
Emily's introduction to LR2 comes with a large chunk of content, totaling 15,000 words of dialogue and narration. Tutoring Emily provides you with unique opportunities to corrupt her. After earning her trust you can begin to improve her grades through a number of unorthodox methods, from experimental pharmaceuticals to strip study sessions. This is also the first of several new pieces of content that will focus on Nora, Emily, and Emily's mother Christina.
Game optimizations may not be as exciting or sexy as new content, but they're a critical part of keeping the experience of Lab Rats 2 smooth and snappy. A new image clipping method has massively improved how quickly character images can be displayed, removing any stutters when a character changes clothing or position. Character image animation is now handled by a thread separate from the main game thread, removing the delay before inputs can be processed. The reduction in character image size has also lowered the amount of memory used when saving the game, speeding up late game loads and saves.
Enjoy!
