Forward Planning
Added 2017-03-23 03:17:57 +0000 UTCI've thought about it, and now seems as good a time as any to lay out some plans for the next few updates of Lab Rats. So, lets take a look at what's on the chopping block and in what order.
v0.5.1 - The public release of v0.5 will include any bug fixes needed, plus a few small tweaks I'm working on right now. Other than that, all work is going towards getting v0.6 out as fast as possible.
v0.6 - The Endings update, pt. 2. This will add 7 "special" endings to lab rats to go along with the 10 generic ones already in the game. These special endings require a score over 100 with two or more girls, and are a little bit longer than the ones currently in the game.
v0.7 - The Hub update. In v0.4 I experimented and added a "hub scene" with Lily, which is a minor scene where the player is in control and can initiate actions (vs. the other minor scenes, which are generally random). I've liked Lily's hub scene so much I want to add one for every girl. This will make Resistance management a lot easier, and provides a clear source of content for players who might otherwise be lost looking for new stuff.
v0.8 - The Public/Private update. This update will add the first of several "tags", which will be special traits that enable scenes or enable actions within those scenes. Some girls will start off with tags in place already (Alexia, for example, will start off with the "Public" tag). I'll do an in depth post about the game design behind tags as we get closer to this update.
v0.9 - The Wet and Wild update. This will be a content update, focused on adding new major and minor scenes to all the characters. In particular, the scenes will be centered around either a pool or the beach, because I've got swimsuit outfits and I want to see them go to work! More details about this as we get closer to the update.
v0.10 and Beyond, in no particular order - There are a bunch of other things I want to tackle as soon as I have the time. I'd like to add a few small event arcs, similar to Alexia's current porn website, and there are plenty of things that could be turned into tags and applied to all characters. "Cum Drinker", "Creampie", "Anal ", and "Bondage" all spring to mind immediately. At some point I would also like to do a second Gameplay update to review all of the systems currently in the game and make sure they are doing what they are designed to do.
Comments
Agreed, and that's exactly what will be expanded for her in the Hub update.

2017-03-25 19:34:49 +0000 UTCDoes the public/private tags update mean the choice for public/private slut ?
2017-03-25 03:35:39 +0000 UTCWould like to have more than a good talk with Mom every night.

2017-03-24 18:40:15 +0000 UTCBingo, the hub scene is exactly the sort of place that most of that is going to end up. As we move forward, I'm going to try and make sure different levels of influence are represented in different ways wherever possible.

2017-03-24 06:12:26 +0000 UTCI really enjoy the game so far and the update path looks awesome! One thing that would be nice is persistent changes as you cement your control over each girl. Talking with your mom should shift, at least a little bit, as you move from 0 to 100. Maybe skimpy outfits or being able to select their outfit. A lot of this could be rolled into the hub scenes. anyway, keep up the great work!

2017-03-23 09:42:01 +0000 UTCSpelling errors and such? The easiest way for me is a text file with enough context so I can find the line, and a comment for what you think the correction should be. So something like "'This is an exaample line' - should be example."

2017-03-23 05:30:36 +0000 UTCHey there, I just played, 4.1, and I loved it. I found quite a few editing errors and I have only played through once. What I was wondering is, how can I help? I think it's brilliant, and would like to help you get those cleared up.
