https://www.patreon.com/posts/release-lab-rats-20325114Lab Rats 2 v0.7.1 is finished and available to everyone! This update brings changes to two major sections of the game. First, the clothing wardrobe system has been redesigned to provide characters with more control and flexibility over what they are wearing. Second, a new category of clothing has been added to the game: accessories. Accessories include items like earrings, rings, scarves, and necklaces.
Character wardrobes have been broken up into three distinct sections: complete outfits, overwear sets, and underwear sets. At the start of each day a girl will either pick out a predefined complete outfit or assemble one out of valid underwear and overwear sets. Girls will do their best to create outfits they think are reasonable - a definition that can change over the course of the game. Corporate uniforms are now also handled with a wardrobe system. You, as the business owner, can define a list of valid overwear sets that girls will combined with their own underwear. As you corrupt your staff you will be able to dictate more revealing overwear, and eventually underwear and full outfits as well.
The addition of fourteen new accessory clothing items greatly expands the outfit making potential of Lab Rats 2. The new accessories include simple jewelry like rings and necklaces to fashion statements like spiked and lace chokers. The code support for accessories also paved the path for cumshot art, added when and where appropriate when having sex. The rendering automation support created to add this initial batch of accessories will make it easy to add more items in future updates.
Finally, this update includes a number of major bug fixes and general gameplay improvements. Girls will now tolerate low job satisfaction for a number of days after being hired instead of quitting instantly, and the character has a number of new options to give girls serum early in the game. Game speed and responsiveness has been improved across the board. A number of crashes, improperly applied serum affects, and saving issues have been addressed.
I hope you enjoy the new update, I'm already looking forward to getting started on v0.8 and adding the first major chunk of written content to the game!
