Here's something a little more tame to take a look at. Right now Nora's casual out fit isn't very... casual. It fits her personality at the start of the game, but that may change by the end. So here's something that's a little more dressed down, for a night on the town or a night in with friends.

Last time I posted a possible swimwear outfit for Alexia someone mentioned making it transparent. I finally got around to making that happen, and here we have it. I decided to up the coverage and instead make it translucent in the same style as her non-slutty one. I think it strikes a good balance of slutty and could-possibly-be-worn-in-public-without-being-arrested. Of course, there's always the nuclear option of the old mini-bikini AND making it translucent.

Here's a familiar face done in a very different way. This is one possible result for the full public slut route for Lily. For the final version I would redo the tattoos entirely custom (Something along the lines of "brother's little slut", ect), but this was much quicker to throw together so you could all take a look and tell me what you think.

Whew, this was a hard one to get done. Cutting a few days off the end of this update cycle meant I crammed four days of work into two, and I've been working solid for the last six hours to get this ready and out the door.
Lily's hub scene is complete and I'm happy with how it's turned out. It deffinitly ended up larger than I thought it was going to at the begining, it's made up of 41 brand new images and over 9000 word...

During this down time between patron and public releases I'm cautious about making any major changes for fear of breaking something important at the last minute.

Mom's work life is something that hasn't been looked at very much in Lab Rats, and that's something I'm planning on changing in the future. Here are some outfits I put together for her progression, probably ending with her being the office play thing. This seems like prime territory to be explored in the public/private slut update for the super public side. It might also find its way into one of the endings that'll I'll be working on for v0.5.

Now if you want to know how many times Stephanie's swallowed your load, it's conveniently located in your notebook!

Those unfinished things, for anyone curious, is better stat tracking for the player and a partial rewrite of the introduction.
But there's one issue I identified early that isn't going to be solved right now. The issue is this: throughout the game, as you raise a girls influence, their behaviour changes. A few of the scenes I've wri...

2017-02-09 05:55:26 +0000 UTC View PostThere's a problem with how the different levels of Serum are handled in the game right now, and it's time to tackle them and fix them up for v0.4.
Right now, the only serum worth using is red. It gives the largest temporary boost, and because events only happen once getting the largest boost means the most influence over time. So the optimal strategy is to wait a bunch of weeks until you have the cash to make a lot of red serum, then use only those for the rest of the game.

2017-02-02 07:53:30 +0000 UTC View PostI've spent the whole night refactoring and implementing a bunch of new systems. Now every major and minor scene has an associated object that tracks how many times you've gone through the scene and at what level. With that done, I was able to implement the new influence gaining system, which has had a pretty drastic effect on how the game plays now. So, lets give all you wonderful patrons the run down on how Lab Rats will work in v0.4.
Influence stays at it is. This is the measure of general p...

Looking over my posts, I've realized I don't give Nora as much love as she deserves.
So to fix that, here's an outfit that has made it's way into a short minor scene that I've been working on tonight. Even with this addition, Nora's a little under represented throughout, so I might try and sneak in another new minor scene tomorrow before the big public release. Wish me luck!

The last few days I've been working on finishing off the images for the major scenes. Two of the threesome scenes took up a fair amount of time, but I think the end results make it all worth it!
I've also done a little refactoring of the code to make it easier to tweak values given by different events. For v0.3 I'll be adjusting all of the influence rewards up a little, so that it's easier to reach most of the content.
Anyway, enjoy some Mom/Lily and Mom/Nora action!
