Lab Rats 2 - Down to Business (v0.49.1, 2/8/2022)

[vrengames]

Lab Rats 2 v0.29.0 is finished, which means it's time for it to get a week of bug testing by patrons before the it's public release. If you're a patron you can find the download links here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/lab-rats-2-v0-29-37766153. This update is the first chunk of long awaited pregnancy content. It comes with a new base character model, new game play mechanics, and a ton of new events related to getting girls knocked up. If pregnancy isn't your thing it's possible to disable the new content and enjoy all of the other bug fixes and content additions.

If getting a girl knocked up is your goal, just having sex is now less than half the battle. Girls may now take birth control, which will prevent most pregnancies. You may be able to convince a girl who loves you to stop taking it, or if she is obedient enough you can simply demand it. If you've turned her into enough of a slut she may stop taking birth control if you ask just because it seems fun. Once a girl is off her birth control it's only a matter of time (and enough creampies) before her fertility catches up with her. If you're impatient, or trying to take advantage of a limited time window, there are a few ways you can boost your odds. You swing by your chemical lab and produce fertility boosting serums, alongside a number of other new and interesting options. If you're feeling old fashion you can keep track of her most fertile time of the month and strike when the iron is hot. If you're lucky the girl will be pregnant, and in a few months her body will start to show it with a rounding belly and swelling tits.

If you're already a patron I hope you enjoy the new version. If not, the public release will be in one week!

what is the fastest way to start earning money at the start?

what is the fastest way to start earning money at the start?

There may be a best assortment of skills to distribute at character creation which I dont know, but after that what you do is:
1. Research medical application
- select it, then keep using 'Research in the lab' to speed it up, sleep if necessary. (it is)
2. Create a serum using the two traits you have available and name it something like 'Cash'. The last bit is not important, but helps to know what's this one for ont he list
3. Research it
4. Set it in Production, make sure sell threshold is 0
5. Get Stephanie to secure supply, you focus on production and selling, Manage your business every now and then
Supply Procurement, Production and Marketing are most important. Don't hire anyone new, that's just another cost. Watch your characteristics, swap ones like Sizeable force and Fresh blood.

This is not *quick* but I don't think there is a quicker way. Will take approx 2-4 in game weeks before you get a good amount of money. Essentially you just need to keep producing and selling while Steph is getting you supplies.

Once you have a few grand on your account you purchase recruitment policies and hire girls to do the work.

[RunningAroundInCircles]

I don't fully agree.
1. It can be usefull to get two new employees but only if they are good at supply and production respectively. This is a little bit of a gamble since you need to pay upfront.
These new employees should be as cheap as possible. Their purpose is to raise your profit after all.
2. Set the threshold to 1. At some point you want to advance your research and you might just as well use one of those serums. It's annoying to discover you don't have this single serum when you need it, so just set it like this and change it to 0 afterwards. The financial impact is negligible.
3. I name the starting serum 'base' but I like 'cash' better.
4. Unlock bigger batch sizes as soon as possible. This directly increases the rate at which you investment in suppy is turned into profit.

1. It can be usefull to get two new employees but only if they are good at supply and production respectively. This is a little bit of a gamble since you need to pay upfront.
These new employees should be as cheap as possible. Their purpose is to raise your profit after all.

You have a point there, but one time I tried hiring an employee, but when she was unhappy she suddenly demanded 16$ a day extra where I was days from liquidation. (also, closing down business because you have been in negative for 3 days is a little harsh) The bottom line is, you are absolutely right, that if you tune perfectly all the operations you should be able to get going really well. My reply focused on the 'fastest' part. My way is the simplest possible and allows for simple grind very quickly, while your method will in the end provide better profits, but is rather slow as you need to micromanage a lot, things like happiness etc.

2. Set the threshold to 1. At some point you want to advance your research and you might just as well use one of those serums. It's annoying to discover you don't have this single serum when you need it, so just set it like this and change it to 0 afterwards. The financial impact is negligible.

Good point. I think Im going to do that.

3. I name the starting serum 'base' but I like 'cash' better.

I name it either 'cash', 'money' or '$$$' because that is the purpose it serves. I like being direct

Speaking of, does the profit from the serum itself increase the more you research it?

4. Unlock bigger batch sizes as soon as possible. This directly increases the rate at which you investment in suppy is turned into profit.

*grabs his head* HOW COULD I HAVE MISSED IT?!

I also like how the game creator came, saw people asking about their game, posted update and left

[RunningAroundInCircles]

Speaking of, does the profit from the serum itself increase the more you research it?

Kinda; side effects lower the value and research lowers the probability of side effects.
In any other case it is solely dependent on the traits.
Each trait has a correspondent value. That's where the money comes from.
Each PRODUCTION trait has correspondent production points = required supply.
This means you can devide production by value to get profit.
Do this to new designs and you can easily compare which one will make more money.

[RunningAroundInCircles]

Does anybody know how to 'bring' a girl to Nora? Or anywhere actually. Is there some follow me option, that I'm too dense to find?

Lab Rats 2 v0.30.0 is finished and ready for it's week of bug testing by patrons. If you're already a patron, or want to become one, you can find the download links here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/lab-rats-2-v0-30-38830347

This update introduces a new character with a unique story line: Emily. Emily is a student of your ex-boss and mentor Nora, and turns to you for help passing Nora's course. This update also comes with significant performance updates, which both cut memory requirements and improve game responsiveness across the board. To top it all off, seven new base faces have been added to the game, more than doubling the number previously available to the character generator.

Emily's introduction to Lab Rats 2 comes with a large chunk of content, totaling almost 10,000 words. After reconnecting with your old boss Nora, Emily asks if you're available as a private tutor. As her tutor, and after earning her trust, you can attempt to improve her grades with a number of "unorthodox" methods, from experimental pharmaceuticals to strip study sessions. This is also the first of several new pieces of content focusing on Nora, Emily, and her mother Christina.

Game optimizations are rarely exciting or sexy, but they're a major part of LR2 v0.30.0 either way. A new image clipping method has massively improved how quickly character images can be rendered, removing the stutter when characters are displayed. Displaying character animations is now handled by a thread separate from most game interactions, removing the delay before menus can be interacted with or text can be advanced. The reduction in character image size has also lowered the amount of memory used when saving the game, speeding up late game loads and saves.

Enjoy! (Running short on time for this release, the full changelog will be out with v0.30.1!)

Lab Rats 2 v0.30.1 is finished it's week of bug testing and ready for it's public release. This update introduces a new character with a unique storyline: Emily. Emily is a student of your ex-boss and mentor Nora, and she turns to you for tutoring to pass Nora's university course. This update also comes with significant performance improvements. Active memory usage and game responsiveness have been improved throughout the game, with the groundwork laid for future optimisations as well. To top it all off, seven new base faces have been added to the game, more than doubling the number previously available to the character generator.

Emily's introduction to LR2 comes with a large chunk of content, totaling 15,000 words of dialogue and narration. Tutoring Emily provides you with unique opportunities to corrupt her. After earning her trust you can begin to improve her grades through a number of unorthodox methods, from experimental pharmaceuticals to strip study sessions. This is also the first of several new pieces of content that will focus on Nora, Emily, and Emily's mother Christina.

Game optimizations may not be as exciting or sexy as new content, but they're a critical part of keeping the experience of Lab Rats 2 smooth and snappy. A new image clipping method has massively improved how quickly character images can be displayed, removing any stutters when a character changes clothing or position. Character image animation is now handled by a thread separate from the main game thread, removing the delay before inputs can be processed. The reduction in character image size has also lowered the amount of memory used when saving the game, speeding up late game loads and saves.

Enjoy!

Lab Rats 2 v0.31.0 is finished and ready for it's week of Patron bug testing! If you are already a patron, or want to become one, you can find the download links here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/lab-rats-2-v0-31-39960327

This update includes a pile of new content as well as some key improvements and bug fixes. Emily, your university pupil who turns to you for study help, has seen her story line expanded. There are also now unique events that include her mother, Christina. New dialogue has also been added that can be seen throughout the game.

When tutoring Emily there are now two new options available when picking ways to motivate her to focus. Both require higher levels of sluttiness and corruption to unlock. When Emily's grades have improved enough her mother will now invite you for dinner, giving you a chance to both meet and corrupt her as well. There have been changes made to the main sex system as well. Before you climax during sex without a condom girls will now let you know if they want you to pull out. A girls answer will depend on a number of factors, including her sluttiness, if she is on birth control, or if she is related to you. This new option has been given new dialogue for each personality type in the game, including special dialogue for your cousin, aunt, sister, and mother. New dialogue has also been added for the first time you cum inside of a girl. This dialogue varies by corruption level and personality, again containing unique variations for family members.

Behind the scenes improvements have been made to improve the workflow for new content, paving the way for new clothing items, patterns, and positions in the future. A bug that was causing the "standing_doggy" image set to display incorrectly has been solved and all events that made use of that set have been re-implemented. Finally, a possible fix has been implemented for the Android version of LR2. This fix should resolve the 64k file limit that was previously being encountered.

As always, I hope you enjoy the update!

This update includes content as well as some important structural code improvements. Emily, your university pupil introduced last update, has had her story line expanded. There are now several new events for Emily as well as her mother, Christina. New dialogue variations and branches have been added throughout the game, focused primarily on how girls react to being creampied.

When tutoring Emily there are now two new options available when picking ways to "motivate" her to study: spanking and oral. Both require higher levels of Sluttiness and Obedience to unlock. When Emily's grades have improved enough her mother will now invite you to stay for dinner, giving you a chance to both meet and corrupt her as well. In addition to the new story line content there have been updates made to the core sex system. When having sex girls will now let you know if they want you to pull out before you climax. If a girl wants you to cum inside of her will depend on a number of factors, including her Sluttiness, if she is on birth control, or if she is related to you. New dialogue for this has been written for each base personality, as well as each special character such as your mother or sister. New creampie dialogue has also been written for all personalities, and includes special responses for the first time you cum inside of a particular girl.

Behind the scenes improvements have been made to improve the workflow for new content, paving the way for new clothing items, patterns, and positions in the future. A bug that was causing the "standing_doggy" image set to display incorrectly has been solved and all events that made use of that set have been re-implemented. Finally, a fix has been implemented for the Android version of LR2 that should resolve the 64k file limit that was previously limiting how many clothing/character images could be included.

Lab Rats 2 v0.32.0 is finished and ready for it's release to patrons for a week of bug testing! There has been a major update to the outfit system, allowing for clothing to be pulled up, down, and out of the way for quick and easy access. The update also includes new content and dialogue for your mother and sister, pushing forward both of their individual story lines.

The update to the outfit system now allows for most pieces of clothing to be pulled half off. Clothing that is half off has been moved out of the way without taking the time to strip it off completely; panties slid to the side, tank tops pulled up to get to a girls tits, ect. Stripping a piece of clothing off completely while having sex now lowers arousal, as you take the time to stop and remove it. Pulling a piece of clothing out of the way has no immediate arousal impact, but slightly reduces arousal gain each round until it is removed entirely. It is also easier to convince a girl to let you pull clothing out of the way instead of removing it entirely, making it easier to strip them down.

Mom and Lily both have new pieces of story line content in v0.32.0, adding a total of 10,000 words of dialogue spread between them. Your mom's new content relates to a new promotion opportunity at work, and how you decide to coach her when she turns to you for advice. Lily's new content expands on her existing Insta-pic story line, extending it to a new level of corruption as she begins to entertain "special requests" from her most well paying fans. The two characters come together when your mom notices your sisters new income, and wants to see how it all happens. You'll be able to help them pick outfits and take the most appealing shots possible for Lily's fans.

Changelog(v0.31.1 to v0.32.0):

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

*CHANGES AND ADDITIONS*
- Many pieces of clothing may now be pulled half-off, instead of having to be entirely removed. Half-off clothing usually gives vision and access underneath.
- Added support for half-off dresses and other multi-slot clothing items. Both the top and the bottom of the item may be pulled out of the way individually.
- Reworked strip menu to support pulling clothing half-off, or all the way off.
- Tweaked strip logic to support half-off clothing. Pulling clothing half-off is usually more acceptable than trying to take it off completely.
- Girls with high obedience can now be stripped down while having sex, even if they would normally refuse.
- It is now possible to add new outfits, underwear sets, and overwear sets from the same menu as you select them from when asked to pick an outfit for an event.
- Reorganised crises, now stored in three separate files containing family based crises, relationship based crises, and others.
- Added support animated removal of multiple clothing pieces at once.

- Fixed a crash in Emily/Emily's mother storyline caused by incorrect event name.

This update has made a major addition to the clothing system. Clothing can now be moved half off, meaning pulled up, down, or out of the way for quick and easy access.

You'll be able to help them pick outfits and take the most appealing shots possible for Lily's fans.

Enjoy!

Anyone know what triggers the new promotion coaching storyline? It hasn't come up for me yet even after several weeks. I should note I managed to import some saves from the previous version this time around, so if it's time based I could easily be well past it

[RunningAroundInCircles]

No idea. I started two games, got it in the first week both times.
I didn't manage to get Gabrielles stripper events to start though. It triggered once, but in any other game I couldn't find it.

Lab Rats 2 v0.33.0 is finished and ready for it's week of bug testing by patrons! If you're already a patron, or want to become one, you can find the download links here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/lab-rats-2-v0-33-42234494

This update brings a dramatic overhaul to the character display method, allowing for groups of characters to all be displayed at the same time. All of the existing events and menus in LR2 have been updated, and in some cases expanded, to make use of this new system. There has also been new content added to the game. There is now a multi-staged family games night event, making use of the new display system, and a new sex dialogue branch has been added to all character types. Finally, there have been a host of bug fixes and continued optimisation improvements.

The new multi-character display system provides the ability to show and multiple girls at once, as well as highlight the current speaker of the group. This system mirrors the previously existing draw methods, which should make it simple for modders to update existing content or integrate new functionality. A significant performance optimisation has also been made, allowing animated characters to be displayed four times faster and with a dramatically reduced performance impact.

v0.33.0 has seen the addition of a large new home event, as well as tweaks and improvements to a large number of existing events. The new home event sees you invited to a family games night including Lily [sister], Jennifer [mom], and Rebecca [aunt]. There are multiple stages and branching options to this event, and it is likely to see further expansions in future updates. Eleven existing events have been updated to make use of the new multi-character display system, letting you watch multiple girls strip down at once, or keep track of rapid back-and-forth dialogue between characters. Finally, there has been a completely new branch of dialogue added for all characters: girls who like creampies may decide they want you to take off a condom right before you cum.

Enjoy!

Lab Rats 2 v0.34.0 is finished and ready for it's week of testing by patrons. If you're already a patron, or interested in becoming one, you can find the download links here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/lab-rats-2-v0-34-43403724

This update introduces a new punishment to help you maintain order inside of your ethically questionable pharmaceutical company. Girls who break the rules generate infractions of varying severities, which can then be used to justify a wide range of punishments.

Rule infractions range from severity 1, for the most minor rule violations, to severity 5 for intentional betrayal or sabotage of your business. Infractions can be generated by a wide range of random events, primarily by girls who are either not obedient or slutty enough to follow your rules. The punishment must fit the crime, so this update includes 14 different punishment options ranging from a stern talking to, to turning an employee into your freeuse slut for the week.

Alongside the new content there has also been the usual host of bug fixes and behind-the-scenes improvements. The android version of Lab Rats 2 is functional once again after a chance to the file system. A ton of typos have been fixed, and a number of fringe cases when displaying groups have been addressed to avoid incorrect displays or crashes.
Enjoy!
