Best animations loop I've seen yet in a renpy game.

Usually developers to have a longer animation, record forward and then backwards the animation, but mostly they don't care about the image jump when the animation ends. broiler_x get the last frame similar to the first frame therefore the loop is smooth. I don't even know if some of his animations are just one direction, this good is the loop transition.

Thank you broiler_x for all the work and nice story.

My gallery mod has been updated for chapter 7. You can find it here:

https://f95zone.to/threads/the-libido-enigma-ch-7-broiler_x.196951/post-14996785
The gallery mod works fine besides 4 labels it can't find. I used a gallery unlock after finish all the update paths because there was 4 gallery entries that didn't open, when I applied the unlock and when I go to those 4 entries gives an error that it can't find the label. The 4 entries are:

Page 1- Chapter 1 - Dream
Page 1- Chapter 3 - Isabella
Page 2- Chapter 4 - Emily
Page 3- Chapter 7 - Shriya

And yes I saw all those scenes playing (with different paths) but those 4 scenes never unlock in the gallery, and again after I force unlock them gives an error that the label can't be found. Dunno if is an issue I installed the WT mod that is available in the OP and then I installed your gallery mod though, didn't tested applying your mod in a "fresh" install.

Are there any kind of trainer/mind control kinks in the game or planned?.

I am looking for games like Lab Rats/Lab Rats 2 that had those kind of content and since your game is about science and experimentation I thought that the MC could also used to for bad things.

Interesting, thank you for your comments.

When I made the mod I had the same problem as you.
So I had to add labels to the original script so that those 4 scenes would appear in the gallery (once they'd been unlocked).
That probably explains your problem.
As far as I'm concerned, the gallery works fine (I should point out that I'm playing without the WT mod).
You might want to try installing the WT mod first and then my gallery mod. Make sure you replace the script file with mine. It might work (unsure).

That was the initial state, I installed the game and then the WT mod and then I installed/overwrote the files that asked to overwrite with your gallery mod. Since I had played already until chapter 6 all the scenes before chapter 7 were unlocked except those 3 entries (must read the persistent file I guess?). Then I played chapter 7 and another entry in chapter 7 didn't unlock (the Shriya one) even though I run that scene in all the 4 different paths, Harem-Emily-Isabella-Twins. That was when I decided to use the Universal gallery unlocker (that has a soft and hard option, I used the soft unlocker as I usually use when I put that unlocker), the preview image in the gallery appeared but when I tried to run it is when i get the error and the scene won't run from the gallery. Let me put the last traceback error I got, the other 3 scenes ofc are the same error just with a different label. View attachment traceback.txt

EDIT : Uggh well nevermind this post, I decided to overwrite again your mod and the entries run now. No idea why didn't open before and didn't run (and just those 4 entries, all others runned perfectly). Probably some stupid mistake I made when installed your mod and that I still don't know what, I usually am very careful when install mods. Sorry for the bother.

EDIT2 : Ok I just did some tests and figured out why I got the errors, I thought I had installed the WT mod and then the Gallery but from my tests I installed the gallery first and then the WT. The only overlapping file is the script one and probably those 4 labels don't match with your gallery, maybe they modified the labels? dunno. It is a pity because I would prefer they work both together, when I put the gallery mod on top I lose the walkthrough (well doesn't matter much now since I already played the update anyway). Maybe you both could colab together and the WT mod modder ⎰ ↜ ✰ BAD 75 ✰ ↜ ⎱ could integrate your gallery mod in it, just a suggestion of course. A gallery mod on a game that doesn't have a gallery per se is a must add on and I appreciate it.

There is not any planned, but you ask a really interesting question about something I've been meaning to discuss. When I originally came up with this idea for a female libido enhancement drug I thought how much fun I could have as a developer with a drug that made women really horny. That was the original plan, and was why I chose that to be the focus of research at the biotech company. When I discussed this concept on a thread on the developer board here a couple of devs chimed in and said that my game would be demonetized on some platforms as that would essentially be a date rape drug (not really my intention, but they are correct in the perception). Non-consensual sex is a no-no on some platforms. I still could have done it and just given up on some revenue streams. But I decided to just change course instead. This happened very early on. Consequently you have only seen two women take the drug in game, and I was extremely careful in how I handled it (the MC did not give it to them, for example).

Anyway, I was meaning to mention this for awhile. I had a recent 4 star review, and the reviewer's biggest complaint was that he thought the libido drug and its affects on women was going to be a major plot point, but it wasn't. He said it felt like a bait and switch. In a way he is correct, but what really happened is I changed course to retain monetization. And I'm very happy with how things have turned out.

Hi

Thanks for your honest response.

As the reviewer you mention I also thought that it was going to be a major plot point, I am sad that's not the case, but I wish you luck. I would recommend you to change the description to avoid misconceptions or directly show that you have no intention to included them in you planned tags.

It seems that a lot of people already like your game so I am glad for you.

Is not what I am looking for but I saw how open you are to feedback so I think you are going to do great here.

Have a nice day.

PD: I doubt you want it, but in case you are interested on exploring such content is very common to have those kind of "money unfriendly" content behind mods thats why you see a lot of landladys in this site.

Unfortunately, the Patreon Gestapo watches sites like this and will sometimes remove games just for having a patch for it. Especially if the dev makes it and lets it be known.

Yeah, I'm just playing it safe. It seems that there is very little rhyme or reason as to which games get the ban hammer versus which don't. You can see a lot of relatively tame games get demonetized and then some with way more extreme content having no issues. On Steam it is literally a crap shoot on which of the Steam staff reviews your games. And their decision is final and irreversible even if you remove the content that they objected to. Bans are final and permanent. There are some shocking posts on the dev board about all of this. Hence the reason I just decided to take the high road. I also made sure there was zero incest and that all the characters were clearly well above 18. Patreon bans for incest and Steam for characters that look maybe too young (no matter what age you state them to be in game).

It's a fun dance we devs play (yes, a bit of sarcasm for sure!).

It's difficult to say which one is worse.

Hi broiler_x I like how the game is going, however, what I didn't like is that it will cut the ties with Shriya definitely, (I agree that he does it if he chose only one LI, or the Twins for that matter) but not in the Harem route, since they are already sharing it and it's also somewhat casual, although personally I would add Shriya to the Harem, as well as Heather, well the bald Netori is more than justified and of course she is also great and has a couple of huge reasons that totally influence it, hahaha, I sincerely hope that the harem doesn't end with just the 5 girls, but we'll have to wait and see how it develops, nothing more, greetings DEV and Happy NY.

I know, I agree. Shriya is a super fun and hot character. And Heather... she's such a bombshell. There are logistical issues with what you suggest. What about those players that said no to both Heather and/or Shriya? I feel like they would be mad if I then force Shriya and Heather on them in the harem path. I realize that is probably less than 5% of players!

But, I am just working on a scene for Chapter 8 that involves Heather, and damn it, I think I need to write her back into the story as a love interest. I mean, this:

THIS!!! How can I say no to that??!!?? I won't rule anything out. I feel your pain, brother. I'm coming up with some ideas....

I'm not saying you should force anyone, just give the option to add Shriya, Heather (and more, if possible (personal request, needs a redhead)), but make it optional, not forced, that is, by player choice.
