Lab Rats Current Public Release (v1.0, 27/11/17)

[Darthjake]

Save the game before going in during the afternoon, when you get the "They are out, but you can get in" message Save in a different slot and search Steph's desk, she has the code written down... sometimes... I wish it was less RNG but atm that's what we have to play with, hopefully once the game is more fleshed out searching for this kind of stuff will improve greatly.

Still all in all, a great game, keep up the great work!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know there's a new patron reward for anyone who was supporting me at the Donator level. The Lab Rats Art Book contains a collection of works I've commissioned from artists over the last few weeks and put together into a small Ren'py gallery program I've written. The images are for patrons only, but in the spirit of Lab Rats I'm releasing the code for the gallery itself for anyone who wants to use it for private or commercial purposes.

If you're a patron you can check out the Art Book here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/lab-rats-art-11204478
Otherwise, more information and the download link for the image viewer is available here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/new-patron-lab-11204505

v0.7.0 has just been released to patrons for bug testing! The public version will be released in a weeks time once everything has been polished up. This update ended up being a lot larger than I thought it would be when I started working on it, adding 35 000 words and 200 new images to the game. It's the largest addition of content to the game we've seen so far, and comes with a pile of bug and spelling fixes thanks to some awesome members of the community.

How do you access the hub scenes for mom, nora, steph, and alexia? So far ive only been able to access the hub scene for sis.

Hub scenes are where you would expect to find them, someplace where you meet the girl alone. I will say that three of them only occur weekdays so that should narrow down the choices some.

[Silverdragon]

Is it possible that using saves from the previous version makes errors in this version...because I had 2 undefined variables errors so far and had to switch back to the previous version?

Yes - you can assume 100% that old saves will not work, as hub scenes being added have to thread through the game and add variables throughout. Game is not a huge time sink, however, so not a waste of time getting caught up...actually more fun doing that as you get all the new scenes...

v0.8.0 is finished and available to $5 patrons for testing. If you're already a patron, you can download it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/v0-8-0-is-live-11884476

v0.8.0 adds the ability to train any of the five girls to be a public slut. This has a number of affects, including unlocking content earlier, or unlocking content that cannot be accessed without the training. Girls are now more private by default, mostly limiting their sluttiness to you unless you train them otherwise. A number of minor scenes have been added to the game, to offset the content that is being moved under the new training.

Cool! I was ready to jump in again (3rd or 4th playthrough) and realized - how many more tags might we be seeing? With each tag you'll be threading text and tags throughout, so former saves will have issues, and a new play warranted. I'm willing to wait this out - unless I just can't stand it and will rush through to see the new stuff.

What other tags might be coming after public? Prostitution? Gokkun? Who knows? With it at version 0.8 maybe 2 more?

[theredfear]

It's been a while since I started a fresh playthrough, so can someone jog my memory: How do I get the Lab Door Code? I've repeatedly searched both Nora and steph's desks but it's never there. What do I need to do to make it appear, or has it moved location?

[Darthjake]

It's random from Steph's desk. It took me a few reloads to get it early on.

I wrote out a roadmap for the next few versions here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/roadmap-12246224

The short answer is 2 (Cum slut and Anal) are locked into the schedule, with a bunch of others in the nebulous future. Adding new tags (and new content in general) is all that's left to do in the game. Right now development is split between adding this content and working on Lab Rats 2, which is still in the early prototype phase. Development will shift from LR1 to LR2 over time, until I feel like LR1 is polished enough and content rich enough to call finished.

[vrengames]

Lab Rats v0.9.0 is out for testing, and adds a brand new location to the game. You can now invite girls to the beach (Once it's opened up, on day 40) and explore a bunch of new events that are based there. If you like girls in sexy swimsuits, this update may interest you!

On top of the new location, the update adds 10 new sex scenes, with a total of 35 000 new words and 160 new images added. That pushes the total word count for Lab Rats to over a *quarter million*!

[dannub]

Cool update, but the major scenes at the beach are pretty interchangeable. You always just go to the changing room. It'd be more interesting if they were tailored to the girls' personalities. Like, Alexia fucks you in public, or Stephanie is propositioned by the two guys from volleyball and you have the option of watching her or joining in, maybe you fuck your mom or Nora in the parking lot, or something like that.

Also, a quick question: are there any plans to add more trainings to the girls? Like anal slut or prostitute?

[vrengames]

Yep, more training options are on the way (and will make up the bulk of the new content added to the game as it's finished up). Right now I'm working on v0.10, which will add the "cumslut" training tag.
