First I have to say that this text has been translated into English and such a translation does not 100% reflect what or how I mean it.
For me, with the last update, the game has reached a level where I would say finally getting to the finals. After over 3 years of development, I would be working on Lab Rats 3. The project Lab Rats 2 only needs to be finalized and the open stories to be brought to an end. A continuation of Lab Rats 2 for the next few years or to make it a life's work would rather lead to the fact that at some point nobody will be interested in the game anymore and it ends up in the trash like old chewing gum. The monthly updates are also too many, here Vren should rather bring an update every 3 months and not put itself under pressure with such short intervals. In the meantime he has released v0.39.3 and the first comment below is a description of the bug.
I see a lot more potential in Lab Rats if it were to be continued in further episodes. As an example, you could not only have children who simply disappear after birth, but also have a son who will take over as a successor at some point or found additional companies, compete or fight, be spied on and many other things. A storyline with new people, serums and tasks would be more interesting for me than an eternal continuation of Lab Rats 2. Even if so many serums and extensions are built in there, somehow you don't feel like it anymore. There are so many ways that could be better put into episodes than putting everything into Lab Rats 2.
As a developer, Vren should not only cling to Lab Rats 2 and carry on as before, but develop himself and the game further and expand the project, improve graphics and create working animations. If it weren't for a group of modders to improve the game Lab Rats 2, it would be dead by now. I would like to thank these modders very much that they work on it almost every day and publish updates for the game.
I will first observe where the development will go. Since I've played every new version with a new save for the last 3 months, I'll pause the game first. Time will tell if I let myself be tempted to load a new version of Lab Rats 2 v0.xx.x and play it again or if I will classify it as uninteresting. Maybe one day Vren will find an end or he will keep working on Lab Rats 2 forever.
