Ren'Py Abandoned Lab Rats 2 [v0.51.1] [Vren]

[metallicaphil]

Seems like old save games aren't compatible

The only way i can play this is by using an old save, try to start a new game and the game crashes

 

[metallicaphil]

every time i try to start a new game i get this

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Got the same error message, it seems that the mod pack caused that error for me.
After i deleted the mod pack, I was able to start a new game.

Old saves caused errors even after I deleted the mod pack

 

[ICHIBANnerdy]

Just use these for now until a more stable mod comes out. Press Z anytime to edit MC, but wait until you choose to talk to someone to edit them, do it after you click their names. Also, it will give you an error message for editing NPCs but just ignore it. Another thing to worry about is do not use when you're in conversation (event) with Alexia. Use it when you can just talk to her on the streets or something.

EDIT: Alright so I think Alexia fucks up the cheat mods, I'm not sure if all of the cheats don't work but I know appearance fucks it up. So make sure you save on a new slot before you talk to Alexia or else it'll make the Z button useless.

Does anyone know if you can have 2 daily serums active for your employees? It's not very clear.

 

[alex2011]

It sounds like your serum is using a component that lowers sluttiness while increasing something else or it developed a side effect that lowers sluttiness. If it is the later, research the different serum components to lower the side effect chance. Then recreate the serum.

Wow, I did not see that coming. There is a Libido Suppressant I didn't add that must have come up as a side effect. Now a different issue, the target's sluttiness, the one that is supposedly permanent, drops by half a heart the next day when I get up to two full in the permanent color as if half of that second heart was still temporary sluttiness. I raised it by making her orgasm through seduction, which is already difficult to get a success on at this point..

 

[hameleona]

The game is still a grindfest. Not at the levels of the Russian grind, but a grind fest nonetheless. Still, a lot of things are much clearer now. I still would love to see how much each employee is contributing to their department somewhere outside of the recruitment page. Yeah, now we know the math, but once you move past 10 people it's kind of an useless choir.
Models are still... meh. Some people will probably have issues with that.
The research screen is as elegant as a hungry, horny, drunken bear in a subway station. Needs some form of redesign.

There are a few bugs I've encountered, nothing game-braking for me till now (most seem to be problems with the title system. As a whole - I'm having fun and the game gets better with each update.

 

[Eourynomus]

I don't know if this is an issue, but i can't go to the mall or gym, or anywhere else from the "market" section. Only can speak with someone in them, but the "do something" option is unavailable. Need to go further in the story? Also, is normal that Sis love never go above to 100?

 

[delightfulhug]

anyone have a savefile?

There is nothing to do at those places, except talking/seducing girls.
Unless I am mistaken 100 is the maximum the love stat can go for everyone.

This is not LR2 specific but a general game design problem. Everytime a user wants 'managable progression' there will be 'grind'. LR1 went the other way by mostly using RND as a tool which wasnt appreciated either. People mostly despise randomized stat changes and ask for progression oriented games but then hate the grind. A ever-turning wheel

Well, currently the game is a grind fest, tho from how it's developing I don't believe the end result will be one. Depends on how much content is added.

Do you mind adding some screen shots so I know exactly what you are referencing?

 

[Zurax]

I wasn't sure if I should post this, it's just some console commands I used a lot while playing and wrote down for easy access for myself. Pretty sure there are mods that do a lot most of this, everything except for changing a persons likes/dislikes (I think). I just added some comments to make it easier to understand for those unfamiliar with using console commands.

I feel like if the game does have any legit issues right now that aren't just "design choices", it's how you can 'perform' during sex with a person. A lot of the daily quests can get annoying at times, but stuff like "make a person cum 5 times in a row" is literally impossible because even trying to kiss them will raise your own stuff just as much as theirs, and if you do raise it by a bunch then too bad you made the person too slutty and now they got bored with kissing and all other actions still only do the same amount of arousal instead of doubling since they're slutty.

It'd be a neat little work-around if you could just use one of your stamina to continue the sex instead of having to start it up all over again, or just have an ability that makes raising their arousal compared to yours much higher or some way to slow your arousal.

 

[hameleona]

or just have an ability that makes raising their arousal compared to yours much higher or some way to slow your arousal.

I'm pretty certain this is how sex skills are supposed to work, but they are reduced or something by the sex skill of the girl. Need to make a girl cum 5 times? Do it in public with a low-slutness girl. Like, you do have 30+ to pick from. Or just replace the quest on the next day (doing it on the same day tends to just give you the same quest again).
The quest do get ridiculous at times, because they are generated by a formula and most aren't capped in some way (I think only new blood is). It's probably something that will get addressed in time.

Got bored, decided to try fix a few things, surprisingly that bit of code makes an error popup during "<Stay Right Here>" dialogue and also the leave before she cums (breaks whole game) now doesn't show up and works correctly.

i've bought all the uniform related policies but no outfits show up in the main office 'manage employee uniform' menu?

 

[hameleona]

You have to:
1. Create an Outfit from the Outfit Manager

2. Than you can add it to your company uniforms.

PS: I was wondering the same on my first playtrough. I don't think it's ever explained in the tutorial.
