Prototyping Week
Added 2017-08-15 05:53:41 +0000 UTCLab Rats v0.10.0 is available to $5 patrons for testing right now, and will be released to everyone in a weeks time. Nothing's gone critically wrong with the update (yet), so I'm taking the week in between to tidy up some stuff with Lab Rats 1, and move the prototype for Lab Rats 2 forward some more. Here are my goals for the week:
1. Make some quality of life changes to LR1. In particular, I want to add at least two other paths to get the lab door code (one for Stephanie, one for Nora). I'm also going to allow you to call Stephanie into the lab once you have her phone number and a high enough influence score, so you can manufacture more advanced serums in the morning without relying on her being in the lab.
2. Complete the basic serum production and application process for Lab Rats 2. Right now you can hire staff, design and research new serums, and put in hours towards producing them, but there is no way to take serum out of the company inventory into your own or actually give them to girls. Finishing this will be a big leap towards a complete (if basic) gameplay loop for LR2.
3. Investigate ways to automate part or all of the image set production for Lab Rats 2. Adding new pieces of clothing to the game requires creating a set of images for a variety of different body types and breast sizes. A lot of the time is simply clicking through menus and switching out character models before taking a screen cap. If I can automate part or all of this, it will be much easier to add multiple different character perspectives and new pieces of clothing.
At the end of the week development will shift back full time to the next update for Lab Rats 1. I'll be putting out a post in a couple of days with more details about what that will be, and what's on the update list going forward.

2017-08-16 03:53:29 +0000 UTCIt started out as a minor oversight, but I kept it around precisely so you could have access to Stephanie if you needed it later in the game. Once this is in place and you can call her in, I'll be changing it so her presence in the morning is decided once and fixed regardless of how many times you go back that day.

2017-08-16 02:40:26 +0000 UTCI have found you don't need to call Steph to the lab when she is not there just go back to campus and then go back to the lab. Just cycle till she comes and you can visit all 5 days of the week. Not sure it is a glitch or not, but with you mentioning adding the option to call Steph to the lab I think it may be.
