Android: Lab Rats 2 v0.18.0-Android
LR2 v0.18.0 is ready for it's week of bug testing before it's public release! This new verion of the game comes with a hefty change log with progress along three major fronts. First, several rendering and display changes have been implimented, improving character image quality. Second, menu details and functionality has been refined in key areas. Third, new content has been added throughout the game, including the reintroduction of the Lab Rats 1 character Alexia. Overall, the game continues to expand and improve!
Changes to the way character bodies are rendered has eliminated gaps found between the head and neck of characters, and way those body images are then processed has removed any visible edges when body and head images are combined. Overall this produces a marked improvement in character body images. Character hairstyles have been reviewed and tweaked to correct any differences in contrast or brightness. These changes are part of an ongoing effort to improve the characters displayed in Lab Rats 2.
Menu functionality and gameplay feedback have been focused on this update. The changes made seek to better inform the player about the results of their actions and to display information more reliably to the player. The list of sex positions, for example, now highlights the different effects that position is likely to have on the girl and whether or not she will find it exciting or boring. While at work the player will receive reports of how much research they produced, serum supplies they bought, and so on. Tooltips have been added for the basic work actions that explain what stats are important for them, and actions that were not useful, such as examining a room to see what objects were in it, have been trimmed from the game.
The last major class of additions come in form of content updates. Likely the most interesting is the reintroduction of Alexia from Lab Rats 1. Alexia comes back into your life following a year of travel to find herself. Her reintroduction prompted the addition of girls already in relationships of various types. These relationships can adjust how a girl reacts to your advances and her own corruption. Some are more willing to cheat on their partners with you than others, and some are even turned on by the idea. Another major section of content is the addition of condom requests and descriptions while having sex. Some girls may ask or demand you put on a condom before having sex. Others, particularly as they become more slutty, will specifically ask you don't use one.
I hope you enjoy the update! Here's the changelog going from v0.17.1 to v0.18.0:

Comments
Some thoughts to this release. It seems that the salary event runs amok when the obedience is lower than 80 even if happiness is at 100. In my savegame I had some girls with a daily income of > 100! because everyday they demanded more and more money. As already mentioned by KDowg, the condom thingy is a bit buggy, But ok, one should not be asked to put on a condom for kissing or when switching into another position and a condom has been already put on. Some UI infos seem to be wrong ie. required love for a date. I had a married women up for a date, but when friday came I could only decline even though the date was arranged. The training event does not display anymore the girl info bar which makes it a bit hard to guess in which department she works. It is a great addition to be able to hire Alexis. Can we have this as a regular feature for the city girls? And have you thought of some kind of "get rid / move away" function for the city girls so that we can have new ones coming into town? Another thing that really annoys me is the girls opinion. Some have a lot of 'em others just a hand full. It would be good to have either fixed amount of total opinions, spread across the four sections or to let them have two to four in each of them. And they shouldn't appear twice and need to exclude each other when there is such a combination. Btw, I hope to re-finish my small ingame-editor soon. Have to adapt a lot of stuff for this version, but playtesting makes it much easier :D

2019-07-06 04:41:51 +0000 UTCLove is rounded different in UI display and action condition checks. i.e. sister stripping requires 100 love. The action is usable even though it displays 99 love. I think it would be best to introduce a getter method to have always the rounded value no matter what.

2019-07-02 11:27:54 +0000 UTCAlso I feel like you should be able to deny a condom request and bareback if obedience is high enough

2019-07-02 02:36:39 +0000 UTCWhen a women is in a relationship, it states a higher love required to ask them on a date but when you get to 30 love it lets you go on a date with them anyway.
KDowg
2019-07-02 02:34:20 +0000 UTCDuring Wall sex, against the window, when cumming it treats you as wearing a condom regardless of your choice. The Mother was stripping in front of the mc when asking about clothing opinion from the beginning of the game regardless of sluttingess Text from Mother "Hi Sweetheart, I'm just checking in to make sure you're doing okay. I hope you don't mind your" If you wear a condom for a blowjob, then change to a real sex position and opt to go raw, it still treats the climax as if you were wearing a condom.
