LR 2 Development Roadmap Update

Also I think there should be other traits (like physical fitness) that can be trained at home or other locations. Possibly switch out the traits that you get from quests to things that help the business (get business milestones for business bonuses) and the more physical traits get trained offsite (like home gym or external gym).

I'm thinking that we should be able to sell research for money on some level or have an attribute system that can apply to potions that has a soft cap (i.e. you can theoretically get a potion that gives you +X int, but it takes X times more research points to get there than the +(X-1) int bonus).

How can I unlock tier 3 research? Says I need test subjects but can't select them for my head researcher

Jose is mostly a male name, but there are a bunch of exceptions, depending on the language of origin <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/José" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/José</a>

Suggestions: edit the list of names to change Brendan to Brenda, and Jose to Josie. Minor thing, but I don't think the former names are typically female names. From a roadmap standpoint, how about adding/changing options for recruiting for specific roles or characteristics? As an example, early in the game if you're looking for researchers, it'd be helpful to say "focus on R&amp;D".

Actually, this bug has something to do with specifying a Uniform Set. Every time I set any kind of outfit up, I get an exception at the next turn. I remove the Set and then I can continue. UPDATE: seems it's only a corporate wide uniform. There's a curious line about a company assigned uniform in the script.rpy file that is commented out...

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Uh oh... As soon as I add a third production line and then hire someone to assign to it, I get an exception error when assigning to production.

Hmmm.. Bug? Under normal conditions (not event driven) if I use a serum and seduce, I usually get the girl's panties off at about 90 percent arousal. But the bra will never come off. Even through the entire session and finishing, it still wont come off. She just won't allow it. Happens every time, not randomly. Easily reproducible.

Maybe he'll implement a in-game Patreon your char can invest in.

Looks like some good goals. I'mma gonna join the mob in saying v0.11 would be the perfect time to experiment around with pregnancy in the game (Hey, if you're doing new renders anyway). v0.9 probably needs its own mini-map as I (and probably everyone else) am curious as to the planned character roles and personality types. Many questions I'm looking forward to learning the answer to as v0.9 draws near. Pure speculation, but I'm thinking the new roles might be along the lines of: Accountant (HR/Supply), Plant Forewoman (Production) and Marketing Executive (Marketing).

I have all this money. Can I buy something?

I would love to see the LR1 girls come in with their old models (or at least some approximation of). Having Stephanie is great, but she looks like any other girl right now. Although if I had a wishlist it would probably start with pregnancy. But also some new Serums, some that work on the player. Penis enhancers, and new reactions from the girls when you use them, virility enhancers for larger ejaculations with that represented when you finish. And if you finish inside, using the pregnant model as a temporary "inflated" effect... the list goes on. Another thing I thought of was if there were some serums that are too extreme to sell for some reason. And one of the LR1 girls could be your advisor on the risk factor of putting those serums to market. Anyway, stuff off the top of the head...

Yeah, maybe he intends to do that but right now the roadmap doesn't mention any of this. we've got a 3 room house, but far as i can tell there's no reason to do anything but go to bedroom and sleep. There's a bunch of other locations, but there's never any reason to go to any of them. It feel skind of bad to have added this travel system, with all of these rooms, but only like 5 of them matter. Would almos trecommend stripping out all the useless locations until content is added that actually uses them.

Good to hear that you next focus on a content update. From my point of view the best content you could give the game is a free world feeling. Right now only 5 of the 15 rooms have a function and the game feels quite mechanic. So awake the other ones (gym, clothing store, sex shop, lobby...) to spend money, hire locals, visit/date someone. Or create new ones (bar, restaurant, nightclub, beach, park, collage...) to meet/train characters. Give them more personal stats (age, relationship etc.) to make them more unique. For the players long term motivaton you should pick up an idea from your old roadmap: add rival companies.

I hope we'll see some new events (even if just a few) in the next few updates as well. Also, there may need to be a second pass to the event percentages, since right now they seem quite low (can go a whole week without any event firing). Otherwise, love the roadmap!

Plus a question: I think you covered this long ago, but if I use a serum to increase obedience or sluttiness and do nothing with her after that, will the complete amount of that increase drain away over time, or will some portion of it become permanent?

Okay, I got back in :) Things are looking great since I took a break! But I think the game mechanics are very well developed. Certainly ahead of the visuals. Couldn't we have a little more with the models now? Please?? Maybe a second model instead of the same one in different shapes. Double rendering I guess, huh.. I agree that there should be a way to achieve more than two stamina. Maybe it becomes a "holy grail" of goals that takes deep into the game before can be achieved? I think it's time that you rework the posing so that higher heels can be used. I know, I know, more rendering... And lastly, time for some extremely slutty clothing. Sexy office outfit, sexy lab coats, thigh boots, black latex/shiny stuff, etc.. And then tattoos. Couldn't you just do an entire dot release with just bug fixes and clothing/model enhancements?

Man, I'm EXTREMELY happy this is being rendered in Daz now. I can tell that the character renders are 'early versions', and knowing what I know about Daz, I am sure that the girls in here are only able to become even better. Because of that, probably my favorite of these updates will be v 0.11. That being said, I'm really looking forward to what you are coming up with in 0.9 and 0.10. I think those two updates will really tie together some gameplay in this that will really extend not only playability, but also re-playability. One thing I do hope for, though, is a way to have more than 2 stamina after you've played a while. If there was a way to train that, or say, after having had sex so many times it increases even a little incrementally, that would be great. One thing I don't see mentioned, and as I didn't play LR1 at all (no offense, but I just can't stand the appearance of honey select characters, so i never tried that game; I should have, though, now that I've seen how you make games, Vren...) is that there are quite a few areas that are not your home or business. The sex shop, mall, gym, etc. Will these areas eventually be given some location-specific interactions in the future, such as the gym being able to train your stamina, or perhaps buying new outfits or something for your girls in one of the stores? Be great if there was a tanning salon where you could send them to tan, or a hair place where you could dye their hair or give them a preferred hairstyle. Reading your road map, even if you had these ideas for this game, I can only assume they would come in v 0.13 or later. Just some thoughts, and a few questions, heh. Thanks for the great game!

i believe that all the girls are currently sterile maybe in the future!

John

Haven't been able to figure out if it's currently possible to impregnate any of the girls. If not, it would be good to see it added. Gives ya something to work for, &amp; seems especially appropriate given that this is the sequel to LR1. :)

Is it possible to use the old character models for the characters from LR1? I liked the old models and it feel kind of weird to see a new randomly generated characters taking their place
