A couple of updates ago Vren added either Nora or Stephenie into the game. There's supposed to be plots regarding all the characters from LR1 eventually, though there's not been much progress on that front.
I'll wait for the story to be developed more before jumping in

Hey, does anybody know how to use the export outfit to .txt feature ?
I made a lot of outfits in the old version but I don't know how to load the old .txt file into the new version.
Thanks

Just a fun bug. People are getting stuck downtown. Employees don't come to work sometimes and I get an error message when it happens. If there's a way to fix this lemme know <3

As far as I know there is no way to reimport this file.

How do I raise sluttiness when flirting and complimenting won't do anything?
look for suggest when you make a serum, then give the serum to anyone your hitting on/plan to make a move on. it is like lb1 but a bit more complex

This happens if one of the girl isn't slutty enough for your uniforms.

I replaced the 3 lines #1660ff in script.rpy
Code:
            self.planned_uniform = uniform.get_copy()
            if wear_now:
                self.outfit = uniform
with the following 4 lines:
Code:
            if not uniform is None:
                self.planned_uniform = uniform.get_copy()
                if wear_now:
                    self.outfit = uniform
With this change a nonslutty girl just stays in her normal outfit (but doesn't trigger the uniform crises).

If you don't want to change the code, you could also make sure that there always is a uniform for nonslutty girls.

Cheers
Matt

Go to the LR2 folder, then into the sub folder "game". Create a text file called "_options.txt" and copy this:
Python:
## Adds Developer Console

init -1:
    python hide:
        config.developer = True
        config.console = True
in there. Rename the file to "_options.rpy". Once ingame, press shift+o.

Through shift+d you get into the developer's menu and in there is also the variable viewer, which shows the variables like the ones in the console command section in the first thread.
Well, that didn't work (at least in my case). It was still a txt file. But editing existing options.rpy in Notepad worked. Or if you're lazy you can use the Attached Options.rpy where it's already added ;D ( of course rename it back to options.rpy before you put it to Game -subfolder to replace existing one...)

That works too.

I meant changing the "_options.txt" to "_options.rpy". My guess is, that your system hides the file-extention (txt) and it's first called "_options.txt.txt", then "_options.rpy.txt". The second txt (real file extension) is hidden and therefore not renamed.

Again, it's just a guess. Though, just like you, I could also have simply added my _options.rpy and prevented this whole mess from begin with. =_="

Mine can be added to most games though, since it doesn't overwrite the entire options.rpy and the changes within have priority over the original options.rpy. Just throw it into the game folder, maybe even with the extended variable editor that's flying around somewhere and you're ready to go.

  • It's not intuitive to a new player on what to do, how to do it or even why you'd want to do it. The goal system was a good way to help here by providing some guidance, but it's still lacking. This is because the characters are all cookie-cutter (except for Stephanie), so they don't provide any story that might point the player in an any direction. I'd like to see Stephanie be a kind of hint system where you can ask her questions throughout the game for hints on how to improve cashflow, or what to do next.
  • The sexy stuff is largely divorced from the business stuff, so at the beginning when the game clearly requires focus on the business aspect, it never automatically brings in the sexy stuff. When I played version 0.5 I think, I found I had spent about an hour trying to improve the business, and hadn't needed to focus on clothing/uniforms, sex with my staff, or anything that would make this a lewd game. That's a bit improved in 0.11, but not much. I think the barrier to getting sexy with the staff is way too high at the beginning. For example, you can do kissing, but to do much more requires your subject to be quite slutty, but you can only get them sluttier (temporarily or permanently) by giving them serums. But selling serums is the only way to keep your business afloat, so it's very expensive.
  • The serum effects that you're spending most of your research on are largely meaningless to a new player, because at the beginning, all you're doing is selling them to make money to grow the business. This means that after a lot of time in a cycle of research, sell, make new more expensive serum, research, sell, repeat until you finally have enough money to spend on business policies, you're kind of numb to the serums in general. They're not sexy, and they may as well be called widgets. To transition into seeing them as things you can use on your staff, well, who cares at that point.
This post perfectly encapsulates my feelings towards this game. Especially #2, the game goes from 0 to 100, it's no porn at all until you're "done" with the business aspect, and then FINALLY there's the porn but it's so very lackluster because even when you do improve their sluttiness etc, practically NOTHING changes, except generic boring sex scenes (after seeing one you've seen them all) and that now you can make more outfits for them, which is a chore. At the very least, if they had premade outfits (or even better, automatically generated outfits) that had varying degrees of sluttiness, and they automatically wore them as you progressed, it would be less of a chore. Similarly if there were more events, or started sex scenes with you by themselves... I want to like this so bad but it's such a huge chore, even with cheating, because you have to basically make your own porn.

Anyone able to reach the 3rd research level with the new version .11.1?
I did a couple searches and didnt find anything. I seem to be stuck in the outfits manager screen. I cannot leave the three options of create, load and save. I can use any of the buttons on the ui along the left of the screen, but always just come back to outfit manage options. Am i missing something obvious, or am i bugged?

EDIT: fixed it by forcing an error, and ignoring it....
