Dude's been quiet for a week. You gotta chill out
There was no update on his Patreon for over a month now, is there any info on what's taking so long? Not even a matter of me having an issue with it, just want to know if he went on holiday, died or just really busy with work.
That's true. No monthly update is unusual. When I said week, I meant he hasn't been seen on the discord in that time. So no one really knows right now. I don't really want to speculate on it because that feels like a waste of time honestly. Just kill your time for a month and if he's not around for a while after that then we can all kick that can
Was doing some reading and seems there is some stuff going on in Patreon. Something about the entire security team getting fired and some other stuff. Wonder if that is the reason we haven't heard anything of late. If any of that affected his work.
Hello. I know this has been asked before but i haven`t been able to find a straight or simple answer. What are the requirements for the Orgasm Trigger Word training? I`m currently using the 30% suggestion drug, if that`s the problem, and i need the 50% or higher one? Any other requirements? Any other "likes" or "loves" needed for the training?

It takes 3 months of dead silence to get an abandoned tag, there's still time but I'm sure vren is working on the code.

Hey, I'm finally here to give you an update on what's been going on with LR2 and my work on it's Live2D update! This progress recap is a little later than I had been planning - about three weeks, actually - because I've been slamming my head against a whole bunch of development issues without making much progress. There have been two main categories of problems, so let's go through them:
First, there are the purely technical issues. When I started this I did some proof-of-concept demos to make sure all of the basic functionality I needed was possible, and it seemed like it all was. Unfortunately, a lot of those features seem to be scaling up poorly when I try to use them for the entirety of Lab Rats 2. Making Live2D models is proving to be a much more time consuming process than I had anticipated. Rendering out clothing items, clothing patterns, makeup, etc. seems like they will be a highly manual (read: time consuming, mistake prone, tedious) task. One of the major reasons I wanted to transition to a new rendering approach was to make adding clothing items easier, and it seems like the new system is failing at that.
Second, I'm unhappy with the actual quality of character art I'm ending up with. The new body options give a much wider range of possible character shapes, but most of them end up looking bad. For a porn game this is obviously not a good thing. Achieving good looking skin tones that can be dynamically recoloured is also something I have been struggling with - my results so far look very plastic-y.
It's not all bad news; I finally have a mostly-functional demo of the game that I am going to be releasing to patrons in two days (48 hours from this post; I seem to need hard deadlines to get anything done these days). This version strips away all of the old display images, replacing them with one character pose (a default standing pose). This demo leaves out a whole bunch of "nice to have" features, like having clothing fade out when it's removed. It also lacks clothing patterns and does recolouring of jewelry/accessories incorrectly due to some technical limitations.
I'm hoping this demo will give me give me some good feedback on what people consider critical to the LR2 experience. I'm also going to try and gather some technical advice from the modding community, which might let me finally implement some core features I haven't figured out.
Thank you all for hanging out through this, it's been a frustrating few months for me, and I'm sure it has been for you too! If you're a patron check back in two days for the Live2D demo, I'm going to get back to bug hunting to try and make it as stable as I can manage!

The majority of the body combinations not looking great has been a concern for people since the tech demos. I have been worried that Vren will spend 6-12 months working on this, only to have an arguably worse looking end product. If nothing else came of this, at least the game is finally getting a more efficient image format.
