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

[Porrvald]

Yeah, that's cool man. It's just that every time anyone talks about anything modding-adjacent one of you is in here all, "have you heard about our Lord and Savior?!" and some of them seem to think nobody in their right mind plays vanilla. I just feel like there needs to be a voice for the vanilla players by choice, and someone to say everyone can contribute in their own way independently if they want to. If he wants to join The Mod, that's great. More power to him and you

Like I've said before, I owe my start in modding to The Mod so it's not like I hate it or think it's objectively bad. I've just moved on because my tastes are different from the writing in it and I like to play a stable game

Not liking the mod story content, I can absolutely understand.

But, when I tried playing vanilla again a while back, I quickly found that all the extra clicks and general lack of quality of life improvements were just too tedious.

Like for example when changing location. Vanilla can't make a wild guess, why I did that. No, I absolutely must click on Return to confirm that I didn't change location for no reason at all, every time.

This is the thread of the base game which is why the mod discussion and advice about it has no place here. This is mostly about courtesy(netiquette if you will) and topic and less about being better/worse etc. People enter a topic usually based on the topic description. It is very much like someone suggesting something that only exists in an AMG modded Mercedes when someone asks about how to do it in their base version of a Mercedes. Two vastly different topics and not helpful in the context of a base version owner

When people answer in a way that only works in a modded version it actually doesnt help but adds to the confusion for the one that asked in the first place. If one really must mention mods then it should be in the style of : base version answer (if not possible add mod ability and name/link to mod afterwards that is actually distinguishable from the base answer). There is a good reason that Mods and their features are supposed to be discussed in their own thread.

I only pointed out what I don't like about the vanilla game.

Maybe your thoughts, about what belongs or not, is the actual off topic?

Sadly, the dev has gone MIA and hasn't been heard from in a few months now, hence the "Abandoned" tag on the game.

Yeah it's not looking good, the guy never missed a month without a heads up in 5 years or something.

That wasn't Vren that is another person you can see that if you go back through comments on here.
4 months ago was his last update.

Is this game still using the same uncanny valley models as before? Asking because I haven't checked out this game in like 2 years.

Yes.

While I know we're supposed to keep info about the mod strictly on the mod thread, this is related enough for me to post here I feel: someone is working on recreating the models for both a general graphical improvement and also as a means of adding additional model poses. This is under discussion (with progress pictures) on the mod Discord.

Sorry, I didn't mean to step on toes but I most likely did anyway. I invited everyone who was part of the previous repository created by Vren and was hoping to open it up to multiple owners in case one of us couldn't continue for some reason (including Vren if he is still around). There was a discussion on Vren's repository to create something we could share and fix bugs. It sounds like I should check out the mod discord. Thanks for making me aware of that.

I'm not sure how or if new features should be handled. Updating to Renpy 8, unit testing, and bug fixes have been my priority.
