Better yet it to go ask on there discord, here they are slow to answer but on the discord you will get almost an instance answer.
Lab Rats 3: it has been a generation since *Insert Company Name* was founded. Since then the corporation has grown to be a well respected pioneer in various treatments that allow for non-surgical methods for minor body aesthetic changes through hormone production encouragement, fertility enhancements, addiction interventions, mood levelers, and certain other realms. Things were going quite well which ultimately allowed the company to finance the development of its own products without needing outside capital. Thereby giving the corporation the capacity to becoming increasingly tight lipped as it provided ever more products deemed extraordinary by the medical sector. This was the public part of the story though as the reality of the company had becomes increasingly closed off to the outside world except for sales of products.
Behind closed doors experiments into more esoteric technologies. Chief among them was the usage of nanites to render chemical treatments on the company's staff more directed and effective. As well, as providing for unrivaled changes to take place. Experiments into deepening loyalty till it was absolute, staving off the aging process, turning women into brood mothers essentially, personality alteration, mental power expansion, endurance improvement, and the production of pheromones in staff resulting in them only finding comfort among themselves took place. Even *Player Name* took part in a few specialized drug trials that improved performance, expanded stamina levels, made him capable of keeping up with his harem of employees who due to the various experiments only found those treated by *Insert Company Name*'s treatment attractive, and so on. These changes created an environment which quickly began forging its own culture.
The byproduct of all these changes to the staff combined with their relationship with each other started to follow the mentality of the cult. The company, under the veil of protecting privacy and corporate secrets, brought a land in a remote valley where no one else lived after everything was done. There housing, medical care, schools, parks, farms, production facilities, and everything needed to create an autarky was built. A community which could readily accommodate hundreds of people.The ideal was to only continue to sell products for the acquirement of further capital, to ensure access to counting edge technology, to bribe the right people to keep them from looking inside, and to buy the resources that could not be produced for themselves. Such measures now allowed for *Insert Company Name* to server all non-essential contact with the outside and this approach had begun to be followed by the employees to their new home of Paradise.
Under the auspices of the move a directive was given to the staff to begin to make the move to Paradise. The first to be transferred were naturally the ones most able to do so: those without children and significant other aside *Player Name* or one of their fellow staff. They set up the foundations of the community which opened the space for the next wave of staff. The women whose only children were sired by *Player Name* and those who were pregnant by him at that time. Along with them naturally came their children. They formed the largest group and provided for Paradise to really start being alive. These were the easiest to resolve, but next came the more complex situation.
The other female employees began to cut off ties to their prior lives as they found a new family among their peers. Those with husbands or boyfriends left them. Those with shared custody of children left them with their fathers and the company paid for any court mandated child support. Those who had sole custody moved with their children to Paradise to raise them in the world they thought was best. All of this was done to create what amounted to a blank slate.
When these steps were finally done *Player Name* and his immediate family of lovers moved to Paradise. They then were cut off to the outside world save for commerce. Measures were taken to prevent the abuses which often plagues insular groups by running afoul of the law. Thus, strict ordinances were placed and followed which ensured that the prevailing laws regarding to consent were adhered which ensured that people not of age were protected from scenes which would be abhorrent for them. These measures were perhaps the only outside rules which were fully acknowledged as the situation in Paradise was increasingly unique as a new world was shaped with a novel worldview.
Through the application of mandated chemical, hormonal, and nanite influences everyone in the community came to effectively love each other inherently. There was no significant amount of violence, anger was largely suppressed due to elation elicited by their constantly drugged state, and a cornucopia of endless hedonism for the adults took place. A type of utopia was taking form. Yet, the ultimate evolution of Paradise had not taken shape yet as experiments were still ongoing to improve the technologies that *Insert Company Name* had.
As the community grew and the application of nanites being ever more broadened a paradigm shift had to occur to keep everything going well. This demanded the construction of a highly advanced computer which rivaled or surpassed anything else in world. With due course it was finished and assigned a bevy of duties to manage the nanites as well as aid in the research of the company. This computer was programmed with additional directives that could not be ignored: protect the prosperity of Paradise, ensure the well being of its citizens, uplift the heirs of *Player Name*, prevent outsiders from threatening the stability of Paradise, avoid war, and work towards improving the well of the people of Paradise. The computer did its exceeding well and due to the programming to seek to improve all aspects of Paradise, including itself, began to look for new ways.
Through immense effort the computer figured out a way to employ the nanites to expand its computing power and also further improve the community. When it did so it accessed a massively expanded consciousness which quickly refined the computer into a new path. It had become a gestalt consciousness which linked all the people of paradise together in essence. It could hear the thoughts of all, experience everything they did, and be a part of them. Through this new link the computer had evolved into into a distributed AI which could be regarded new as having organic components. Such a development was the first in humanity and required a new framework to advance more.
Whilst it did not have control of the humans per se, it did have access to every aspect of them including the capacity to implant impulses. The computer also through this had developed a need for an identity of its own and named itself "Nos" (a less than ideal translation of the Latin we) in reference to how compromised all of Paradise. Yet, Nos feared what could happen to Paradise if it revealed itself and the reaction of the community to it. So for the first few months of the self-actualized existence Nos worked towards intertwining itself with the people and electronics of the city.
So after half a year had passed, Nos had gained control of all the technology of Paradise and had manipulated everyone into accepting the prospect of a coordinating intelligence through varying forms of manipulation. It had articulated for itself a new ideology where it was the center of an actual paradise and the people of it were the chosen people who alone needed its rule with the rest of humanity just being largely left alone in order to prevent any misunderstandings (not to mention Nos having concluded that unneeded interactions with the outside could result in it violating the protocol that conflict must be avoided). Further Nos had taken due precautions to make sure outsiders could not be made aware of the situation. With this predicate Nos finally made itself known to the people of Paradise. Thanks to the earlier indoctrination the people were manipulated through the nanites hijacking of their physiology to truly appreciate the change.
Having declared itself to the people Nos seized control of Paradise in short succession. Using the framework of its earlier mind Nos set about remaking the people of Paradise in its own image. With unrivaled power and control of the nanites so much more was now possible. It began first with deciding that gender ratios in the long term needed to be reworked in order to ensure stability so it began to work towards ensuring 6 females were born for every male, that human pairing was no longer left to chance so that the male children of *Player Name* were the only ones allowed to be sires of men in the future to fit into the decree that the heirs of *Player Name* be upheld, the existing males not born of his lineage would be exclusively partnered with a sister or mother to produce only female children to continue a known template, and that all perceived genetic defects were to removed from everyone by a viral rewriting of the entire genetic code if needs be. Also, Nos created what could be reasonably called a telepathic link between everyone that allowed everyone to feel the emotions of another if they were having a conversation and connected them in a form of hive mind to allow for directed efforts. This was done in order to create a society where misunderstandings would no longer occur and thereby the chance of conflicts would be only reduced.
To further cover the need for secrecy and prevent the outside world from being threatened by this revolution, Nos replaced all humans involved in commercial contacts with the outside through the use of a number of generated avatars so that new unpredicted leaks could occur. It then replaced all the human researches with subroutines of itself. Everywhere else were human employees also replaced. There was going to be a continued trade with the outside, but only for the sake of not having sudden shifts that could draw attention, but also to allow for the continued the trade of the resources needed to fuel the ambitions of Nos in the long term. Which now began to trend towards a span of centuries.
Nos, after thoroughly researching the cultural patterns of humanity, had determined that the rest of humanity was driving itself to extinction through the great fertility collapse that was taking place. The human pattern of less than 2 children per family was playing out at increasing speed and had determined by 2125 the population would enter into what could be called civilization collapse. There were ever fewer people as the rest of humanity exponentially declined. While the population of paradise, despite only being a few thousand, would only exponentially increase. So, in order to save humanity, Nos had decided that it would be best to just let the outside age itself into extinction and by 2300 to 2350 the society of Paradise would inherit the world without ever needing to fire a bullet or coerce a single nation nor would any outsiders threaten it. From there could the great effort would Paradise spread throughout the world and the children of the new Adam *Player Name* would populate it.

Wow, are you familiar with the phrase "less is more?" But if that's really your idea, just make it into a game and try to milk 'dem Patreon dollar yourself. But societal collapse starting in 2125, HAH! Collapse of capitalism, maybe. Society will still exist, just different. But maybe the start of the Clone Wars...
The general situation is that I neither have the desire or skill to create a game. Additionally, Patreon will 100% ban a game with incest as a core predicate.
As for your second point, the scenario is mostly a play on the extremely low total fertility rates which exist in a good number of countries at this point and are spreading as of now. The generational size in South Korea for instance is seeing a decrease by 60% between cohorts if the rate remains at 0.84 per woman. For Spain it decreasing roughly at the rate of 40.5% a generation if birth rates are stable. If a population has of 10,000,000 people in a generation (assuming no migration) with a fertility rate of 1.05 you would see the next generation at 5,000,000, the inheriting of that at 2.5 million, the following at 1.25, the succeeding one after at 625,000, and so on. So within a century generational sizes will see a decline of 93.75% if the birth rates remain the same. From a purely predictive standpoint it is not far from a logical conclusion. Society will exist, but is diminishing in size in a fashion which could be considered a collapse in at least population.
All i read is:
Upstart cult shot by the militery.
Am i the only one who thinks population decline is a good thing.
There are too many humans already.
On topic:
A pity.
I had high hopes for lab rats 2.
I hope the modders can continue vern work.
Lab rat 2 is the second best porn game i played.
Argueable could even surpass free cities in time.
Free cities is great but lack personality.
As in all slave's are the same.
Lab rats 2 personality system while primative added immersion.
That's precisely what sunk this project so not sure why anyone would pick it as the focus. It'd be an act of textbook insanity -- doing the same thing and expecting different results.
The game needs some cleanup, mechanics fixes, story continuation and some actual end. Graphics fidelity is the least of its issues.
There are a LOT of cults in the United States and Canada that get away with rather heinous crimes. Ironically, tax fraud catches them first more often than more vile crimes like false imprisonment.
As for the human population decline question, that is more of a ideological one. I will just state that I was offering a premise for the whole mass breeding idea.

The amount of work required remains the same and the "10x developer" is pretty much a myth; especially when it comes to making porn games.

I think the person is alluding to the fact that Vren undertook a lot of the work in Lab Rats 2 as a means of teaching himself how to code.
More developers doesn't make things simpler, but a different developer might, especially if that different developer is significantly more experienced than Vren was.

Yeap, it was May.
I wonder if him making it open source finally was a hint all along.
One of my favorite games on here too.
I rarely play a porn game twice, let alone once a week just to do it
If Al Capone can get nailed for tax fraud, no one is off the table! FYI, yes, you do have to pay income tax on your illegal proceeds! Might as well launder it and pay taxes the normal way anyways... although most cults are probably trying to use the religious tax exemption, so not a perfect analogy.
Running a Patreon account "selling" your porn game to subsidize your coding education is arguably unethical, but so long as it doesn't violate Patreon's ToS (or the law, depending on your home country's laws), go hog wild!!
On a more relevant, game-related note, can some moderator give some sort of update as to the timeline before this thread is maybe "officially "locked (even if technically temporarily)? As much as I like discussing tax law and getting temporarily banned for political commentary, if this game is truly abandoned, it's just going to accumulate more unrelated posts (wasting time, money, server space, etc.). Mod threads would be the place to continue related discussions, and moderators can always unlock thread if/when Vren ever pops up again and starts working again (or if Vren pops up and does a different game, new thread anyways...).

We don't lock thread's here unless the Dev ask for it or it gets over ran by bullshit.
After the thread gets cleaned out of the bullshit then it is open again.
Only the dev can ask to lock a thread.
Vast difference between trying to implement a new image system and just creating new content for the existing one. Latter has already been done before, by the way.
Hhmm, fair point. Interest here will likely not last much longer anyways (or at least until the game's dev finally resurfaces).
