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

[Urpo]

Any idea if the game design will focus on the lewd aspects soon? Like add more sex options, character parts (new faces and so on), story events etc.?

Also, does anybody else have trouble with small text and some font colors being too similar to the background?

 

[Gojii]

Are there any hidden traits other than the breeding fetish for them? Ran into that giving a character that already loved creampies bareback sex and was wondering if there were others. Kind of glad I grabbed it when it was v48.1 given all the issues currently ongoing.

Since I have that save with a mil I just tested, I went ahead and hired a single employee, Old (so 40yo) + Mother recruiting policies active, and advanced time with 2/5 employees until the crisis fired naturally. Hired the daughter and she appeared in the division I assigned her without any problems beyond the usual quirk that you have to introduce yourself to your new employee as if you're a stranger lol

whew, because that whole routine doesn't account for family, was hoping he didn't break it with 49.2, Mom once hired with that policy on will try to hire her daughter, even if she is already an employee.

in general, a daughter can request to hire their mom and be an only child, mom gets hired and will request to have her daughter hired.

Eager Breeder and Online Attention Whore (something like that) were the only two last time I played. From memory the latter requires liking skimpy outfits and showing her arse and tits.

I think the reverse family hire (daughter asking to hire her mom) is a mod crisis, so if it breaks the vanilla crisis that's something you should report to Trist

running 49.1 pure vanilla at the time , mom being MC mom, they are talking about the same issue a few messages up. and yes mod has same issue with npc

I didn't know Vren added a reverse version of the crisis. Do you know what it is named, and/or which rpy it's in? I'm only finding daughter_work_crisis in crises.rpy, which is the mom asking to hire daughter one, but Vren might not have consolidated the reverse crisis

Not sure if it is fully added, just comes up in the dialogs, that is what I am still tracking down myself, I have seen mom ask to review a daughter's resume, after that I split out my code bases to make sure that I wasn't cross contaminating between mod, bugfix and vanilla.

I'm still on .46.1 because of savegame requirement.

Can anybody offer any insight on

1. the phone for Lily

2. the topless instapic pics

otherwise this is a sort of bug report.

1. On the phone, I see no option to buy it at Electronic Store or Mall. Lily is on Instapic. Jennifer is on all 3. Lily sluttiness at 3 hearts resetting back to 1.5. Jennifer at 5.5. I didn't focus the family (bc incest) and mostly focused on the business, then threw late-game serums at Jennifer. Is this quest-line broken? Have I missed something?


2. On the instapics, how do I get Jennifer to take topless instapics? I have Special Action option to Knock up Jennifer, nothing else. I have Special Action options with Lily to "Test Serum", "Take pics", "Ask to Strip", nothing else. I have an option to "Check back in" about the pics, but it's greyed. I also have "Give her phone" greyed option. Jennifer is already on all 3 social media things and I remember doing that with her. But I cannot see how to talk about topless instapics.

Before 1.0, please allow us to turn off incest connection between us and the family before starting the game, or at least turn off incest entirely.

Found funny glitch. The Hidden Sister, If you Hired your mother Jennifer she can ask you look at daughter resume & its not lily now i've got A Hidden sister working for me same last name & all.. PS i've hired lily to jen shes the only mother on my staff.. maywork with Aunt to -& if you have more kids with them possible to run intire company off family only & your siblings your cus aunt mom sisieras all moms - creepy but funny as heck if it works

do you remember the exact wording at time I saw it to but can't find it in the code

I answered your #1 on page 422 and your #2 on page 412. And Vren doesn't read this thread

If you're talking about the glitch of Jennifer asking to have her secret daughter hired, I think that's just the daughter_work_crisis in crises.rpy acting out. She meets the requirements because she has 2 kids, but only one of them (Lily) is already generated. Vren just needs to add a condition disqualifying Jennifer from that crisis

is just a glitch no 2nd sister / Jen is acting like any other recruit worker. not thier is a secret sister in the code, is a funny glitch as she asking you to look at daughters resume, & is not lily..

yeah a matter of playing in too many code bases at once.

 

[Steven Ethan]

The grind is real with every new update, even to change anything with save editor is a real pain in the ass because there are so many characters & stats...the devs should make inbuilt cheat to reduce the grind or make the game fun. The game is great but the grind makes it less fun.

I don't know what you mean by that. It's simply a side-effect of being able to hire Jennifer. Jennifer fulfils the requirements the crisis has always had because she's hardcoded to have 2 kids, MC and Lily. The crisis looks for a woman over 32 (iirc) with at least one kid who hasn't been generated yet, and MC isn't a "person" in the code so voila. It is a super-easy fix to add "and not Jennifer" to the line of requirements

Found funny glitch. The Hidden Sister, If you Hired your mother Jennifer she can ask you look at daughter resume & its not lily now i've got A Hidden sister working for me same last name & all.. Edit, no secret sister is Recruit worker glitch ,<- look daughter resume event. thier no real secret sister in coding

the daughter recruit event simply checks the mother's age and child count. since your mom has 2 children (you and lily), and only one is listed on her relationships section (lily), it will count that as an open space for the game to generate a new daughter for that event.

if the woman is old enough (older than 34, looking at the crisis doc) and you've gotten them pregnant/they've given birth, they can have the daughter recruit event for your own child (because she now has an open child slot), who will now magically be 18--because them giving birth doesn't automatically create a new 0-age daughter off in offcreenland who couldnt meet the criteria to be recruited, it just adds to their children count, which age allowing will open them to have the daughter recruit event.
a funny side effect that's been around for a while is that everyone leave their child with their mother so they can return to adulting, even if you know or regularly interact with said mother (such as your mother and aunt if you got your sister or cousin pregnant, the student you can tutor and her mom, etc).
these newly generated daughters will show the appropriate mother/sister relationship tags, but not aunt/niece (such as if your mother has a new daughter generated, your/her aunt and cousin will be labelled as acquaintences rather than aunt/cousin etc, recruited daughters also dont flag you as their father, since you dont appear to be considered a character as far as relationship tab is concerned)

now, being able to hire/possibly enter a relationship with your own (now magically aged) daughters might be considered a perk to some players who really want to lean into the incest angle, and might even be considerable as an option in the game (such as a tier 3 serum spec that ages any children the mother has to enable this without any headscratching, i guess?), but currently appears to be an odd knock-on effect.

I like the way you think!
