Lab Rats v0.20 Plans!

Crash on save is the most serioius thing happening in later gameplay. Save games become over 15MB in size, and then it's no longer possible to save anything because you get a "memory error".

When you say Dark Souls I say yes.

I’ve hit a glitch where sluttiness is unaffected by just about everything. Doesn’t matter their love or current sluttiness. Flirting is useless on anybody. The only thing that boosts sluttiness is if I hit on their personal kink(cream pie, swallow, etc...) I’ve been powering past it with chemicals and an abundance of money.

Throw them some money. Day, week or a months wages will boost their obedience. Usually they want to resign because of money or being over worked.

In the future, will it be possible to hire someone you met on the street? Or a family member?

I don't understand why a happy woman who has low obedience seeks to resign. Obedience should rather influence their performance. For example, at 75 points, there is one part of the day when they do not work. And conversely, at 125 points they will come to work for one part of the weekend. I propose an additional stat, satisfaction. If they are satisfied, they do not seek to resign. If they are not, they will try to resign.

> That would also be useful so I can introduce randomly generated mother-daughter and sister-sister pairs. So, the game could be a source of endless in...teresting relationships. Nice. I hope this will be reflected not only in the stats of the characters but also in the dialogs/phrases (during the planned threesomes).

Start is a bit painful. Create a serum that does not necessarily do anything good but makes a good profit margin. Focus on producing and selling (not applying) that serum. Hire girls to increase supply input and production output. As soon as you have enough money, invest in improved or advanced serum production traits to create even more profitable serums. You will swim in money soon after. Then you can begin producing serums that do something useful. In early game you may choose not to give those 100 bucks to mom that she keeps demanding. You can do it later. What I discovered only recently is that you can hire Alexia and do a photo session with her, which will increase sales profits by 80% for one week. Should also come in handy in early game play.

I just discovered this game, and I have attempted to understand it, but I am having some issues. What are the best ways to build up the income values at the start?

You should add serums so we can make them shorter/taller, fat/skinny, etc. Add in dialog to convince them to change there hair and whatnot.

I like where this is going. Being able to manipulate NPCs into interacting with one another is the thing the game most sorely lacks at this point.

And I think I found a glitch: if you give a love serum to a girl, love cannot exceed 100. But when the effect wears off, the love boost is nevertheless subtracted, i.e. if she had 90 love before, and you give her a serum that increases love by 20 (to the maximum of 100), she will end up with love 80 after the effects wore off. This is especially bad since you can stack serums, i.e. if you give her five doses, she will have love 0 in the end -- or even below 0 if you dose her enough. I am not sure but this might also apply to sluttiness.

Hi Vren, have you thought about adding some statistics like how often you had sex with a specific girl and what kind (vag, cp, bj etc.)? Also, when your company grows, a scroll option would be needed to see which girls are working in which deparment. And most important: please disable the rollback in overview screens, I often get caught in it when I use the mouse wheel to scroll but it rolls back instead. This is annoying because it takes so long, and you lose everything you entered in the screen before.

I'd suggest some serum traits that take effect during sex. Higher sensitivity, increased or decreased hearts, etc. I think it'd also be a lot of fun to have 'hypnotic' effects such as command codewords, not realizing there's people around, etc. I understand those might be much harder....

Sounds like fun will be had with Nora! Nothing to do with 0.20 but I miss the way we could corrupt and suggest in Lab Rats 1. Mother going to work is one that comes to mind, being able to suggest she go to work without underwear and then tell you later what happens. I'm sure you have something similar planned. Still early days. Great game in the making:D

Phew... I was just about to feel upset, thinking, "Oh come on, I JUST downloaded the most recent v0.19 a couple days ago!" lol, love your games, they are incredibly fun!
