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

[hyfka]

does anyone know when next update is out? 0.52

I wouldn't hold my breath since afaik there won't be much (if any) new content

 

[eldoen]

So, everything I've read says this is a bit of a dirty "fix", but I tried it and it appears to work. I didn't get the crash, Gabby's job changed to "Stripper", and when I opened console and typed print strip_club_no_of_strippers after the dialog ended it returned 5, which is what it should theoretically be if it incremented properly

I added two lines to role_cousin.rpy, one at line 124 and another at what will be line 129 after the first line is added. So the block between lines 123-131 should look like

    def special_stripper_hire(the_person):
        global strip_club_no_of_strippers #defining the global keyword to prevent crash bug? ~dalzomo
        strip_club_no_of_strippers += 1 #Increase the list target to account for Gabrielle
        stripper_hire(the_person) #Add her to the stripper list

    def special_stripper_leave(the_person):
        global strip_club_no_of_strippers #defining the global keyword to prevent crash bug? ~dalzomo
        strip_club_no_of_strippers -= 1 #Decrease the list target to account for Gabrielle leaving
        stripper_replace(the_person) #Remove her from the pool and generate a replacement if necessary

Remember to space, not tab, while editing

I will have to review what was done in mod to resolve this as it was an issue in 49.9, unassigned jobs was causing all kinds of integration issues.

There was a problem, a check comes to work every day, I corrupted that girl, opened almost all the functions, began to meet with her, but she doesn't come to work for me, says I'm not working for money, what to do??? Tell me please

My original post, the one in which you called me an idiot for, is that he can't code.

I didn't call you an idiot. I question your negativity and cognitive dissonance because I think you are intelligent but wrong.

You keep stating Vren can't code but clearly they have created a successful game because people play, enjoy, and support it.

My objection is that you are shitting on a developer working on their project.

As for why I say it's less than minimum effort, well that's because it is. If there was broken code or even commented out code that doesn't work or even just a statement "This actually doesn't work" then it shows Vren tried/failed/moved on respectively. Instead the model event tells the player "You get +40% value for serums next week" and this doesn't actually happen as at no point does it check for this information or show it would have checked for this information.

I've been following the codebase off an on for more than one year. They typically stub out a lot of features and return to flesh it out later. You didn't find an example of the developer doing minimum effort you found work in progress.

It's not free if he's making a little under $3,000 a month while working on it.

That's disingenuous. There is a free full version. Typically reliably released with new features every single month. Tell me you're not one of those people who believe that developers should make something people enjoy, use, and value and want to support but developers don't deserve any financial help. Not even your money (you never paid) but you're upset that other people want to support their work with their hard earned money. This sounds like rank jealousy. Essentially trying to cancel their project? Is that you? Is that who you want to be?

I'm actually not angry, you are the one lashing out at my criticisms, which are still valid criticisms whether you choose to agree with them or not. I posted about it, because I was shocked at just how much of the game I had to "fill in the blanks" for which is a rarity even in the porn game community. Usually you're just told up front "This feature is not supported" or "WIP(Work In Progress)".

The making it clear it's WIP is a valid criticism and suggestion, in my opinion. Making that suggestion in a positive way could improve the game you care about. A while ago, I suggested unit tests to catch some frequent bugs. To their credit, they added some test coverage. Doesn't fit your narrative about their "minimum effort", does it?

I'll also note I haven't personally attacked you, but you sure went pretty far to come after me, with an adorable chart and everything. I think some retrospection is merited here if you believe me to be the angry one.

Yes, you seem perfectly reasonable. I think you have a negatively hot take worthy of introspection. If I saw someone shitting on your efforts and work I would react same.

hi

Is that a planned function or a bug. When i let someone test a serum i can use all my stamina with talk/complimet or flirt to repeat the growing 0,2 mastery points for the tested serum. That is in my eyes much to much becauce i jump in one month to advanced serums and i am looking to get the futuristic serums soon.

Unethical human experimentation often produces results at an astounding rate.

Everything in this game is both to some extend.

Works as designed as far as I know, but who knows if it will change. It does seem pretty quick to the point that extra research into a trait is almost entirely pointless.

Observing via talk actions to raise mastery has been the most efficient way for a while because that's how we're supposed to do it. Vren only recently changed Nora's experimental traits so they can technically be researched the slow way in the lab because so many players don't pay attention to Steph when she tutorials us how to observe for mastery

My point is that it is an odd game design choice to have option a) spend 20 person-turns of work for 1.0 mastery increase for ONE trait or b) spend 1 turn of 30 energy getting 0.4 mastery (or more likely 1 turn of 195 energy getting 1.3 mastery) for 5+ traits.

The mastery research path should be removed or repurposed somehow. Maybe observing it could give Mastery which lowers side effect chance while research would give Expertise (or whatever) that increases the effects, for example.

Or just remove the mastery research and call it good for now, in my opinion. That would also reinforce the "make serum, test, observe, make new version" that seems to be the goal.

 

[Gee2]

the system is not bad, i play it for fun since lab rats 1. I spend much time to gamble with the serums and the money. I miss much done work becauce i have no idea what it does. Mom sis and aunt are not my interest, becauce they are to much work at the beginning and later with all serums it looks to easy to break them. Where is the fun in striptease, instapics and things where i get nothing new. Now i need to remember how and where are those people with special stats for nora. I ask my self can i make them with using serums in a bad way. I like to make the girls strong with their stats, 8 points intelligence or what is needed for her work plus daily serum is at the end to much. What can i do with so much money and research points? The first month are great, but that i start always again and try something new.

I would say that had he explained certain things don't do anything it would have definitely prevented any statement from me. It's more likely I would of offered to help get some things working as I just can't help myself when it comes to working on code. I bring up the income, because it's not charity. In my own patreon I consistently give clear communication of what is current, in development, or currently frozen. It's not that I'm bothered people want to pay him, it's that it makes me feel stupid that I go through that much effort when I could possibly get away with doing none of that.

Taboo Break Walkthrough for Jennifer & Lily

This guide should hopefully help anyone seeking to break and keep broken any of the taboos with Jennifer & Lily. I will first define each tier of taboo along with each individual taboo that can be broken at that tier. I will then list, first for Jennifer and then for Lily, the choices which can be taken once the taboo refresh event fires, including any quests you can take on for potential additional rewards

Taboo Tiers
Foreplay: this tier covers breast and pussy nudity, kissing, groping, fingering, tit fuck, and handjob (when she takes control during sex). I suspect underwear nudity is also at this tier, but it appears to stay broken once broken. This is the tier with the greatest number of individual taboos that can be broken per day
Oral: this tier covers blowjob (and its two levels of escalation, Deepthroat and Skull Fuck, which do not count as additional taboos) and cunnilingus, so two sex actions that can break oral taboo per day
Vaginal: this tier covers all vaginal sex. It can be broken once per day
Anal: this tier covers all anal sex. It too can be broken once per day

When you see Jennifer or Lily on a day after breaking one of her taboos, she will confront you in an automatic event that fires upon entering the room she occupies. If you can't satisfy one of the instant solutions (incest opinion or number of taboo breaks), you will have to either propose a quest to earn access, or accept defeat for now. She will lose 10 sluttiness and the taboos in question will be restored. If you broke multiple taboos at different tiers in one day this event might occur for each tier, losing you an additional 10 sluttiness each time. It pays to not skip ahead with Jennifer and Lily unless you have a strategy. Stick to one tier at a time until it's broken for good, then move on to another. I find it easiest to go in order by tier, but you aren't required to. If she has the sluttiness to do it, you can skip tiers to what you like most. Just remember that if she takes control during sex, she might break one of the tiers you've left unbroken and then you're dealing with that the next day

cant i make sleeping pill ?

 

[dalzomo]

cant i make sleeping pill ?

Not yet, but it has been suggested to Vren so maybe someday?

 

[loqex]

So if Lily/Jennifer/other hates a particular interaction, will they eventually accept that interaction if you continue enough times or does it take a trance action to force them to like that interaction?
