Lab Rats 2 v0.21.1 is live! Get it here!

Added 2019-10-08 10:24:01 +0000 UTC

Lab Rats 2 v0.21.1 is finished it's week of bug testing! This update adds a couple of cool new features and some fun new content. Intercharacter relations, like friendships, mother-daughter, and sister relationships, have been introduced and are tracked between characters. Girls both inside and outside of your company can now form friendships and rivalries, and new events have been written that make use of these new relationships. Improvements to the way characters are rendered and drawn to the screen have allowed for the introduction of a simple lighting system, with different lighting conditions for different locations and times of day. At the same time character images have received a long overdue update to allow for properly shown different eye colours.

One area of content that has been given a particularly large amount of love this update is the dating system. Two new types of dates have been added to the game. You can now take a girl on a lunch date or, once your relationship has developed further, a movie date. The requirements and rewards for chatting with, flirting, and dating a girl have been updated to form a smooth progression from acquaintance to lover. Unique responses and modifiers for family members and girls already in a relationship have been added, giving extra weight to the eventual corruption of a girl.

I hope you enjoy the new version! Here's a changelog going from v0.20.1 to v0.21.1:
