Lab Rats 2 v0.32.0 is finished and ready for it's release to patrons for a week of bug testing! There has been a major update to the outfit system, allowing for clothing to be pulled up, down, and out of the way for quick and easy access. The update also includes new content and dialogue for your mother and sister, pushing forward both of their individual story lines.

The update to the outfit system now allows for most pieces of clothing to be pulled half off. Clothing that is half off has been moved out of the way without taking the time to strip it off completely; panties slid to the side, tank tops pulled up to get to a girls tits, ect. Stripping a piece of clothing off completely while having sex now lowers arousal, as you take the time to stop and remove it. Pulling a piece of clothing out of the way has no immediate arousal impact, but slightly reduces arousal gain each round until it is removed entirely. It is also easier to convince a girl to let you pull clothing out of the way instead of removing it entirely, making it easier to strip them down.

Mom and Lily both have new pieces of story line content in v0.32.0, adding a total of 10,000 words of dialogue spread between them. Your mom's new content relates to a new promotion opportunity at work, and how you decide to coach her when she turns to you for advice. Lily's new content expands on her existing Insta-pic story line, extending it to a new level of corruption as she begins to entertain "special requests" from her most well paying fans. The two characters come together when your mom notices your sisters new income, and wants to see how it all happens. You'll be able to help them pick outfits and take the most appealing shots possible for Lily's fans.

Changelog(v0.31.1 to v0.32.0):
*CHANGES AND ADDITIONS*
- Many pieces of clothing may now be pulled half-off, instead of having to be entirely removed. Half-off clothing usually gives vision and access underneath.
- Added support for half-off dresses and other multi-slot clothing items. Both the top and the bottom of the item may be pulled out of the way individually.
- Reworked strip menu to support pulling clothing half-off, or all the way off.

- It is now possible to add new outfits, underwear sets, and overwear sets from the same menu as you select them from when asked to pick an outfit for an event.

This update has made a major addition to the clothing system. Clothing can now be moved half off, meaning pulled up, down, or out of the way for quick and easy access. The update also includes new content and dialogue for your mother and sister, pushing forward both of their individual story lines.

The update to the outfit system now allows for all reasonable pieces of clothing to be pulled half off.

Just some things, and some bugs:

- BUG: Gabrielle's boob job followup keeps repeating due to a bad iterator being called. The result is her followup events stack up and create additional talk buttons.
- A few new hairstyles would be good.
- BUG: The color selection bar goes behind the rest of the outfit customization UI.
- There is currently not much in the way of lactation content.
- Once you get to tier 3, you don't really need some of the upgrades, and you definitely don't have enough things to spend money on. Perhaps you can pay for a deep dive on employees, or instead pay to get a desireable trait or love/like/dislike/hate for them.
- As said before - some way to globally give the company raises or bonuses would be helpful.
- Perhaps some way to control your own likes/dislikes would be neat.
- There doesn't seem to be much linking the business to the rest of the NPCs of the game. Perhaps scenes where they might need a particular serum trait?

Lab Rats 2 v0.33.0 is finished and ready for it's week of bug testing by patrons! If you're already a patron, or want to become one, you can find the download links here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/lab-rats-2-v0-33-42234494

This update brings a dramatic overhaul to the character display method, allowing for groups of characters to all be displayed at the same time. All of the existing events and menus in LR2 have been updated, and in some cases expanded, to make use of this new system. There has also been new content added to the game. There is now a multi-staged family games night event, making use of the new display system, and a new sex dialogue branch has been added to all character types. Finally, there have been a host of bug fixes and continued optimisation improvements.

The new multi-character display system provides the ability to show and multiple girls at once, as well as highlight the current speaker of the group. This system mirrors the previously existing draw methods, which should make it simple for modders to update existing content or integrate new functionality. A significant performance optimisation has also been made, allowing animated characters to be displayed four times faster and with a dramatically reduced performance impact.

v0.33.0 has seen the addition of a large new home event, as well as tweaks and improvements to a large number of existing events. The new home event sees you invited to a family games night including Lily [sister], Jennifer [mom], and Rebecca [aunt]. There are multiple stages and branching options to this event, and it is likely to see further expansions in future updates. Eleven existing events have been updated to make use of the new multi-character display system, letting you watch multiple girls strip down at once, or keep track of rapid back-and-forth dialogue between characters. Finally, there has been a completely new branch of dialogue added for all characters: girls who like creampies may decide they want you to take off a condom right before you cum.

Enjoy!

Changelog (v0.32.2 to v0.33.0):
*CHANGES AND ADDITIONS*
- Added support for characters being drawn on different layers. By default there are now 4 layers for characters (which may then have an arbitrary characters on each layer).
- Added support for adding extra character drawing layers if needed by mods.
- Added support for drawing multiple characters at the same time.
- All character displays are now anchored from the bottom instead of the middle, making height consistant when multiple characters are drawn together.
- Added GroupDisplayManager class. Provides support for tracking and drawing multiple characters as a group, as well as updating single characters.
- Updated Mom/Lily insta-pic event to display both characters at once
- Updated Friends help friends be sluts random event to dislay both characters at once.
- Updated Emily intro event to show both characters at once.

- Updated Emily/Christina dinner event to show both characters at once.
- Updated catfight random event to show both characters at once.
- Updated AC random event to show all characters at once.

- Only characters adjacent to the primary speaker are animated, to reduce performance impacts.
- Characters in the resume select screen are no longer animated.
- Optimized character animation code. Characters now display more quickly after a draw call and have a massively improved frame rate while multiple characters are being drawn.
- Expanded horny at work event to be more aware of how many people are in the room.
- Added options to the friends help friends be sluts event to just ignore the girls.
- Added new evening event involving Jennifer, Lily, and Rebecca.
- Added new dialogue branch when having sex with a girl who likes creampies. May ask you to take off a condom at the last minute.
- Added patron reward content.
- Daily serum dosage policy now only applies a dose on a week day.
- Standardised "judge_outfit" function now used whenever a girl reviews her outfit.
- Opinion on lingerie now has a girl treat an outfit as more/less slutty instead of changing sluttiness for wearing it (up to 8 points in either direction).
- Updated scheduling code, allowing for girls to have different destinations depending on the day.

*BUG FIXES*
- Fixed an issue with half-off clothing that was leading to clothing not being correctly anchored when stripping.
- Fixed several incorrect title references ("your employee" instead of "their name")
- Fixed Lily checking incorrect outfit name when adding new instapic outfit to her wardrobe.

Lab Rats 2 v0.34.0 is finished and ready for it's week of testing by patrons. If you're already a patron, or interested in becoming one, you can find the download links here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/lab-rats-2-v0-34-43403724

This update introduces a new punishment to help you maintain order inside of your ethically questionable pharmaceutical company. Girls who break the rules generate infractions of varying severities, which can then be used to justify a wide range of punishments.

Rule infractions range from severity 1, for the most minor rule violations, to severity 5 for intentional betrayal or sabotage of your business. Infractions can be generated by a wide range of random events, primarily by girls who are either not obedient or slutty enough to follow your rules. The punishment must fit the crime, so this update includes 14 different punishment options ranging from a stern talking to, to turning an employee into your freeuse slut for the week.

Alongside the new content there has also been the usual host of bug fixes and behind-the-scenes improvements. The android version of Lab Rats 2 is functional once again after a chance to the file system. A ton of typos have been fixed, and a number of fringe cases when displaying groups have been addressed to avoid incorrect displays or crashes.
Enjoy!

Changelog(v0.33.3 to v0.34.0):
*CHANGES AND ADDITIONS*
- Refactored several sections of code to improve maintainability and modability.
- Roles may now have functions assigned to them that are run on each turn, during each move phase, or on the end of each day.
- Added support for dynamically modified character dialogue.
- Extended Ren'py support for Person, dialogue may (and should, to support dynamic dialogue changes) be written as the_person "dialogue", instead of the_person.char "dialogue"
- give_serum function now returns the serum given instead of True, if any. If nothing is given returns False.
- Added generic strip description function to help centralise a number of related event actions.
- Added infraction Class and related functions
- Added punishment system. Each infraction has a severity ranging from 1 (least serious) to 5 (most serious). More serious infractions unlock more severe punishments.
- Added 3 severity 1 punishments
- Added 3 severity 2 punishments
- Added 3 severity 3 punishments

- Added 2 severity 5 punishments

*BUG FIXES*

Lab Rats 2 v0.34.1 is finished it's week of bug testing and ready for it's release to everyone! You can find the download links and the full changelog on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/lab-rats-v0-34-1-43665638
This update introduces a punishment system to help you maintain order and instill obedience in your ethically questionable pharmaceutical company. Girls who break the rules generate infractions of varying severity, which can then be used to justify a wide range of punishments.

Business policy infractions range in severity from 1, for the most minor violations, to severity 5 for intentional betrayal or sabotage. Infractions are most commonly generated by random events triggered when an employee isn't obedient or slutty enough to comply with your business policies. The update also introduces new business policies that boost the severity of infractions, or let you create new infractions for a girl on demand. The punishment must fir the crime, so the update includes 14 different punishments ranging from a stern talking to, to turning an employee into the office freeuse slut for the week.

Alongside the new content there has been the usual host of bug fixes and behind-the-scenes improvements. The android version of LR2 has been updated to support a new image storage system that bypasses a previous maximum file limit. A ton of typos have been fixed, crashes patched, incorrect game mechanics resolved, and user interfaces improved.

Lab Rats 2 v0.35.0 is finished and ready for it's week of bug testing by patrons! If you're already a patron, or want to become one, you can find the download links here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/lab-rats-2-v0-35-44523483. This update focused on tidying existing content and fixing many long standing bugs. This update also includes two new random events, as well as a half-dozen new clothing items.

Update 0.35 comes with one of the largest change logs of any Lab Rats version so far. Many events have had new dialogue branches added, mostly after having sex and referencing the results. Random events that had you design an outfit now properly tie into the outfit manager, letting you choose if you want to design an outfit from scratch or select one you already have put together. Any screen that displays a serum design tooltip now lets you click to lock the tooltip in place, allowing you to scroll through complex designs. The list of active serums has also been updated to display serum tooltips, making it much easier to see what is currently affecting a girl. Six new clothing items have been added to the game: two dresses, a shirt, panties, a bra, and a bracelet set. A bunch of default outfits have been added to make use of these clothing items, and they are available to the player to make completely new outfits with as well.

v0.35 includes more than minor tweaks and additions. Two new random events have been added. The first is triggered when an employee is caught not wearing your company mandated uniform. This event is more likely to trigger for characters who have low obedience or who think that their uniform is inappropriate. The second is a new random event that can sometimes be triggered while walking into Jennifer's or Lily's room in the early morning or late at night. It contains over eleven thousand words of dialogue and description spread over many branching options.

I hope you enjoy!

Lab Rats 2 v0.35.1 is finished and ready for its public release! This update focused on tidying existing content and fixing many long standing bugs. This update also includes new random events, half a dozen new clothing items, and a huge new family event in the morning and evening. You can find the download links here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/lab-rats-2-v0-35-44804060

Update 0.35 comes with one of the largest change logs of any Lab Rats version so far. Many events have had new dialogue branches added, mostly after having sex and referencing the results. Random events that had you design an outfit now properly tie into the outfit manager, letting you choose if you want to design an outfit from scratch or select one you already have put together. Any screen that displays a serum design tooltip now lets you click to lock the tooltip in place, allowing you to scroll through complex designs. The list of active serums has also been updated to display serum tooltips, making it much easier to see what is currently affecting a girl. Six new clothing items have been added to the game: two dresses, a shirt, panties, a bra, and a bracelet set. A bunch of default outfits have been added to make use of these clothing items, and they are available to the player to make completely new outfits with as well.

Character is male. And no, the character can't be customised, they're essentially a ghost.

Lab Rats 2 v0.36.0 is finished and ready for its week of bug testing by patrons. If you're already a patron, or want to become one, you can find the download links here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/lab-rats-2-v0-36-45672723

This update brings new dialogue, a new event, and refinements to old features. The outfit management system has been updated to provide a more seamless experience. All personality types have a new "sex report" dialogue branch to let them know how you've done after having an intimate encounter. Jennifer has a large new event related to character dating, and dates in general have been updated with new branches and possibilities! All of this comes with the usual host of bug fixes and minor tweaks.

This new version of Lab Rats 2 brings some major improvements and expansion to the dating system. All night time dates now have the possibility of a girl inviting you home with her. When you get to her place there are now multiple variants of the date that can trigger depending on her relationship status, Sluttiness, and Love. Girls with high Sluttiness will skip the foreplay and want to get straight to the fucking. Some may change into lingerie to try and seduce you, while others will just strip down and beg you to get started. New dialogue has been written to go along with the new date options, with a focus on the dialogue triggered when a girl invites you home. There are separate branches for girls you are having affairs with, girls you are dating, or just girls you don't have any special relationship with (yet).

Your Mom also has a new event related to the dating system added in this update. If she's at home she may notice when you're getting ready for a date. If her Love is high enough she may start asking you to stay home and spend time with her instead. With enough Sluttiness, she'll start trying to seduce you to stop you from seeing other girls. All the enjoyment of a successful seduction attempt in the comfort of your own home.
There have been a number of other additions to the game this update. The outfit management system has been updated to make selection, duplication, and creation more seamless during events. Sluttiness limits are now displayed inside of the outfit creator when appropriate, and that same limit is displayed when asked to select or design an outfit for an event. New dialogue has been added, triggered after having sex with a character. This dialogue has different variants for each personality type, different Sluttiness levels, character roles, where the encounter took place, and who had an orgasm. The chance of random events triggering has been increased across the board to make each game day feel more lively. Using obedience to select a sex position while having sex can now also trigger different dialogue.

I hope you enjoy!

This update contains new dialogue, new events, and refinements to existing features. The outfit management system now provides more stats feedback and integrates more consistently with random events. All personality types have had a large blocks of dialogue written, providing their responses after an intimate encounter. Jennifer has a large new event related to you dating other girls, and dates in general have been expanded with multiple new branches that can be triggered with higher Sluttiness and Love. All of this comes with the usual host of bug fixes and minor tweaks.

This new version of Lab Rats 2 brings major improvements and expansions to the dating system. All dates that take place at night now have the possibility of a girl inviting you home with her. When you get to her place there are multiple paths that can trigger depending on her relationship status, Sluttiness, and Love. Girls with high Sluttiness will want to skip the foreplay and get straight to the fucking. Some may change into lingerie to try and seduce you, while others will just strip down and beg to get started. New dialogue has been written to go along with these new options, with a particular focus on the moments when a girl invites you back.

Your Mom has received a large new event related directly to the dating system. If she is at home she may notice you getting ready for a date. If you have her Love high enough she will try and convince you to stay home with her instead of going out. As you increase her Sluttiness she'll be willing to go further to stop you from seeing other girls. Corrupt her enough and you have all the pleasure of a successful date with none of the effort

There have been other additions made to the game this update. The outfit management system has been improved to make selection, duplication, and creation of outfits more intuitive and consistent during random events. Sluttiness limits on outfits are now passed through to the outfit design screen if they exist. Sluttiness limits are also shown when browsing your existing library of outfits you have designed. New dialogue has been added, triggering after you have sex with a girl. This dialogue varies based on personality, stats, character roles, and relationship status, and provides feedback about how much she enjoyed herself and what you did. The chance of random events of all types has been increase, making each game day feel more lively. Using obedience to select a sex position will now result in different dialogue, and girls that are having sex with you as part of an event will no longer automatically stop because their stats are too low.

Enjoy!

Lab Rats 2 v0.37.0 is finished and ready for it's week of bug testing by patrons. You can find the download links on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/lab-rats-2-v0-37-46957867

This update adds one major section of storyline content for Jennifer and introduces the framework for the phone and texting system. It also includes a collection of bug fixes and minor improvements throughout the game.

Jennifer's new content is focused on what happens after she secures a promotion at her office job. The sluttier she becomes, the more things she is willing to do to convince her boss to keep her around. You can encourage Jennifer by helping her pay for a boob job, practice her servicing skills, and giving her the confidence she needs to impress her boss. If you don't feel like sharing you can instead march on over to her office to tell her boss to back off. If that doesn't work, you may have to look into alternative ways to convince him...

On the back end a significant portion of the game has been modified in preparation for the introduction of the phone and texting system. Current functionality is limited, but allows you to text girls and ask them where they are. Future updates will add a fully fleshed out phone UI, multiple website hubs accessible from your phone, and more texting options. It will also tie in with Lily's Instapic storyline heavily.

As always, this version also includes bug fixes, quality of life improvements, and general refinements.

Enjoy!

*CHANGES AND ADDITIONS*

There's already quite a lot of opportunities to fill out content based upon a character's stats and traits. You could expand the amount of personality traits, deepen the variation of what they already do for dialogue, make variations for their stats.

Why not create personal or smalltime requests for serums from people that know you? Some people want to be taller, stronger (Muscle variations would be my selfish request), bigger breasts, thinner or thicker bodies, or anything that can be changed? This would make smaller companies more profitable or more fun to manage and run.

Lab Rats 2 v0.38 is finished development and ready for it's week of bug testing by patrons! If you're already a patron, or want to become one, you can find the links here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/lab-rats-2-v0-38-48174790

This update brings the internet right to your virtual smartphone, letting you browse sites like InstaPic and DikDok to see what girls in your life are posting. Their posts may start tame, but as their Sluttiness rises they will begin to do, and show, more to enhance their online popularity. Some girls may even turn to posting on OnlyFanatics, looking to make a quick buck while being worshipped by their horny online fans.

Also included in this update is a new phone UI and new texting functionality. Your phone now properly displays chat logs and system messages from different girls, and all existing events that mentioned texting have been moved over to the new system. You can now text with any girl who's phone number you have from your phone, instead of having to track them down and meet up with them. This all lays the groundwork for a ton of new phone and online based content that will be coming out over the next couple of updates.

Updates to InstaPic are of particular interest to one character: Lily. Lily's dreams of being an InstaPic influencer make her an easy target to corrupt on the platform. Send her private requests for underwear pic, topless shots, or even full nudes, and then convince her in person to fulfil those same requests.

Enjoy!

Changelog (v0.37.1 to v0.38.0):
*CHANGES AND ADDITIONS*
- Added texting UI images

Lab Rats 2 v0.38 is finished it's week of bug testing by patrons and ready for it's public release! You can download the new version here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/lab-rats-2-v0-38-48485374

This update brings the internet right to your virtual smartphone, letting you browse sites like InstaPic and DikDok to see what girls in your life are posting. Their posts may start tame, but as their Sluttiness rises they will begin to do, and show, more to enhance their online popularity. Some girls may even turn to posting on OnlyFanatics, looking to make a quick buck while being worshipped by their horny online fans.

Also included in this update is a new phone UI and new texting functionality. Your phone now properly displays chat logs and system messages from different girls, and all existing events that mentioned texting have been moved over to the new system. You can now text with any girl who's phone number you have from your phone, instead of having to track them down and meet up with them. This all lays the groundwork for a ton of new phone and online based content that will be coming out over the next couple of updates.

Updates to InstaPic are of particular interest to one character: Lily. Lily's dreams of being an InstaPic influencer make her an easy target to corrupt on the platform. Send her private requests for underwear pic, topless shots, or even full nudes, and then convince her in person to fulfil those same requests.

Enjoy, and leave any bug reports in the comments below!
Changelog (v0.37.1 to v0.38.1):

Lab Rats 2 v0.39.0 is finished development and ready for it's week of bug testing by patrons! If you're already a patron, or want to become one, you can find the new version here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/lab-rats-2-v0-39-49484084

This update introduces Clarity, a resource that is built up whenever your character is turned on, and made available to spend when you cum. Clarity is needed to unlock new things for your pharmaceutical company to research, giving you a new reason to corrupt the girls in your life!

All of the existing content in Lab Rats 2 has been updated to interact with this new resource. Many events have new dialogue or choices available, and all now hand out Clarity when appropriate. Along the way a ton of typos have been corrected and bugs squashed. The code base of LR2 has also received some much needed love. This should make future development and maintenance easier, both for the core game and for modders.

Enjoy, and here's a changelog! (v0.38.1 to v0.39.0):
*CHANGES AND ADDITIONS*
- Added skeleton of Clarity system.
- Added Clarity requirement to unlock Serum Traits.
- Redesigned research screen to display Clarity costs. Now uses click to view instead of click to select behaviour.
- Added Locked Clarity stat. Locked Clarity is generated by any event that would sexually excite your character.
- Added Clarity stat. Clarity is produced by "releasing" Locked Clarity by climaxing.
- Locked Clarity is now generated while having sex. Amount is Girls Skill * Male Arousal Gain.
- Added ClimaxController class, which is responsible for displaying different orgasm options and related Clarity information.
- Different climax types now act as a multiplier for the amount of Clarity produced from Locked Clarity.
- Refactored massive sections of the LR2 code base. Should make the project easier to browse through, mod, and maintain.
- Moved fonts into seperate folder for better game file organisation.
- Added indicator to all business policies if they are toggleable or permanent after purchase.
- Added three new policies that allow you to turn idle R&D Research Points into Clarity.
- Updated all sex positions to use new ClimaxController class to control climax dialogue flow.
- Updated all crises to include Clarity increases where appropriate.

- Updated all crises to use ClimaxController and release Clarity where appopriate.
- Updated all limited time events to use ClimaxController and release Clarity where appropriate.
- Updated all role events to include Clarity increases where appropriate.
- Updated many existing events/role events. Added some new branches, fixed typos, incorrect triggering conditions, ect.
- Added Novelty stat to girlsNovelty goes from 100% to 50% and acts as a multiplier on Clarity gain. Reduced by 2 each time you cum, increases by 1 per day.
- Added Masturbation Novelty. Same as novelty for girls, but used when you masturbate.
- Added Serum Tolerance stat to girls, default 2. Girls under the effect of more serums than their serum tolerance suffer progressively higher penalties.
- Added Toxic side effect. Lowers serum tolerance by 1 for the duration.
- Added Novelty and Serum Tolerance to girl character sheets.
- Added Serum Tolerance to serum select screen.
- Breaking taboo increases girl Novelty by 5.
- Added ability to try and cum early (up to 20 arousal early) or hold back and avoid cumming. Success chance depends on Focus stat and how close you are to cumming.
- Daily serum policy now does not give girls doses of serum unless their current dose would expire during the work day.
- Refactored daily serum code and simplified out of stock messages.
- Tweaked tooltip behaviour. Now appears more quickly and disappears when no longer hovering the item (previously remained for inconsistent delay).
- Added patron content.

*BUG FIXES*

Lab Rats 2 v0.39.1 is Live! Get it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/lab-rats-2-v0-39-49778098

Lab Rats 2 v0.39.1 is finished it's week of bug testing and is ready for it's public release! This update introduces Clarity (as in post-nut clarity), a resource that is built up whenever your character is aroused. Before Clarity can be spent it must be released, which you do by cumming in the most interesting and exciting place you can find. Clarity is needed to unlock new research topics for your pharmaceutical company, giving a new and pressing importance to corrupt the girls in your life!

To go along with the introduction of Clarity all existing events and actions have been updated to properly hand out this resource. This includes a new climax management system, which is responsible for giving out more or less Clarity depending on where and how you cum. Many events have had completely new branches and dialogue written to ensure they make use of this new system.

There have been plenty of other additions made in this new version of Lab Rats 2. Six new serum traits, one new serum side effect, and six new business policies have been added. A serum tolerance stat has been added to motivate the use of serum designs with multiple trait slots. The code base for LR2 has been refactored to make modding and development easier going forward. Many of the game screens have been updated to display Clarity, Serum Tolerance, or serum tooltips properly. Finally, a swath of bugs and typos have been fixed up.

Enjoy, and here's a changelog!

Lab Rats 2 v0.40.0 is finished development and ready for it's week of bug testing by patrons. If you're already a patron, or are interested in becoming one, you can find the download links here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/lab-rats-2-v0-40-50714368

This update focused on improving the stability and maintainability of the LR2 code base. It introduces a unit testing framework along with a suite of fully automated unit tests to catch and flag and bugs introduced in future development. An integration testing framework has also been developed to run more complex tests to catch bugs in development, rather than in your long running game! The unit and integration testing frameworks both support additional tests being added by modders to cover their own code base as well. In total 128 unit tests and 12 integration tests have been written, and future bug fixes will include the creation of additional test cases to prevent bugs from reappearing.

It didn't feel right to turn out a new LR2 update without including a little bit of player facing content, so I have also written two new random events - one for Gabrielle and one for her mother Rebecca. These events can be triggered at their apartment throughout the game, with varying results depending on their stats. I have also added a new "explore" option for Jennifer's room as an experiment before potentially adding similar events for all characters.

Enjoy, and here's a changelog (v0.39.3 to v0.40.0):
*CHANGES AND ADDITIONS*
- Added Unit Testing framework.
- Updated Room definitions to contain more default arguments. Now only requires a name definition.
- add_employee functions now set work schedule automatically instead of requiring it to be set seperately.
- add_employee functions now apply the employee_role themselves.
- Renamed room variable formalName to formal_name to match naming convention in rest of LR2.
- Girls max energy may now become negative. Prevents issues with minimum values when multiple serums are applied.
- Added Integration Testing framework.
- Added unit tests. 128 initial unit tests added.
- Added integration tests. 12 integration tests added.
- Added Gabrielle LTE triggered when visiting her in her room.
- Added Rebecca LTE triggered when visiting her apartment when she is home alone.
- Added ability to explroe Jennifers room.
- Tidied up Room definitions for standard locations.
- Extended integration testing framework to include support for integration tests for mods.

*BUG FIXES*
- Fixed novelty score not being modified for girls, despite being reported as doing so.
- Fixed focus debt incorrectly interacting with reducing debt.
- Fixed novelty score becoming extremely positive if a large negative number was subtracted.
- Fixed primary speaker in group conversations not being updated when changed at the same time as someone was removed.
- Fixed skip_condom flag not being respected in some encounters.
- Fixed Cowgirl outro not providing proper Clarity release.
- Fixed several crashes during Lily's Instapic events.
- Fixed several issues with existing Instapic, DikDok, and OnlyFanatics content.

Love the game, and I love the (hopefully) soon to "cum" threesome scenes. Are there any plans to introduce the ability for the MC to instruct two of the employees and/or family members to engage in lesbian sex as a command if their sluttiness and obedience is high enough? Or for Mom/Sis/aunt as an escalation during instapics session or strip euchre?

That's definitely the sort of thing I want to add at some point down the line, but I don't have any solid timeline for it. More Mom/Sis/Aunt/Cousin stuff is likely going to be the focus of storyline content for the next couple of updates though, so you might see the first hints of it there.

Lab Rats 2 v0.41.0 is finished and available to patrons for a week of bug testing. At the end of the week it will be available to everyone, absolutely free! If you're already a patron, or want to become one and help with bug testing, you can find the links here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/51958892

This update brings LR2 to the most recent Ren'py version to make use of the new native shader support it includes. The switch to native shaders has greatly improved frame rates and responsiveness, especially when multiple characters are displayed at once. It has also made it possible to replace the solid character background with a transparent one, or to remove the background entirely, depending on what an event requires.

In addition to the improvements to the display system there has been new content written for a couple of LR2 characters. Your sister's Instapic career continues to advance with a new event chain, in which you help her get some bigger boobs. You can try and do it the old fashion way, by giving her a stack of cash and sending her off to a cosmetic surgeon, but you'll need to convince your mom it's a good idea. Alternatively, you can use your personal pharmaceutical company to develop a breast enhancing serum and help her out with some "natural" growth. A new shopping event has been added, with the ability to be taken shopping by your mom or sister. If you have a girlfriend, you can also ask them to go shopping with you as a date. This event gives you the chance to make new outfit suggestions, as well as enjoy some sneaky public mall sex if you can convince them.

The changes to the shader system make it likely that there will be some platform specific bugs that are impossible for me to test for until it's in your hands. I'll be releasing nightly builds for patrons until there's a build that's playable on all machines.

Enjoy!

Lab Rats 2 v0.41.1 is out! You can find the links in the first post, or here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/lab-rats-2-v0-41-52249560

LR2 v0.41.1 is finished and ready for it's week of bug testing by patrons! This update brings LR2 to the most recent Ren'py version to make use of the new native shader support it includes. The switch to native shaders has greatly improved frame rates and responsiveness, especially when multiple characters are displayed at once. It has also made it possible to replace the solid character background with a transparent one, or to remove the background entirely. Both display styles are now available - you can toggle between them in the preferences menu.

In addition to the improvements to the display system there has been new content written for a couple of LR2 characters. Lily's InstaPic career continues to advance with a new event chain, in which you help her get some bigger boobs. You can try and do it the old fashion way, by giving her a stack of cash and sending her off to a cosmetic surgeon, but you'll need to convince Jennifer it's a good idea. Alternatively, you can use your personal pharmaceutical company to develop a breast enhancing serum and help her out with some "natural" growth. A new shopping event has been added, with the ability to be taken shopping by Jennifer or Lily. If you have a girlfriend, you can also ask them to go shopping with you as a date. This event gives you the chance to make new outfit suggestions, as well as enjoy some sneaky public mall sex if you can convince them.

Enjoy, and here's a changelog (v0.40.1 to v0.41.1):

Lab Rats 2 v0.42.0 is finished development and has been released to patrons for a week of bug testing! If you're interested in supporting development or getting a peek early you can check it out here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/lab-rats-2-v0-42-53161659

This update brings a new uniform management system to your business, new girlfriend related content for your sister and Mom, and an ending to Emily's student/tutor storyline. It also brings a collection of bug fixes and general stability improvements.

The new uniform system significantly streamlines the process of creating and assigning uniforms to different departments within your company. It is now possible to quickly assign the same uniform to multiple departments and to set the same uniform as any of an overwear, full, or underwear set as appropriate. Hovering a uniform name now brings up a preview to make it easier to trim away unwanted uniforms as your business policies give you more and more control over what your employees wear.

Lily and Jennifer, your sister and Mom, have both had additions made to their storylines. It is now possible to ask either (or both!) of them to be your girlfriend. In both cases you'll need to convince them it's a good idea, with multiple paths to success available. Once you've convinced them to be your girlfriend you will have access to all of the normal chat options available when you are dating someone, and random events that can trigger with your girlfriend can trigger with them. Additionally, all of the girlfriend specific mood/sluttiness effects while having sex will be properly applied. In future versions both girls will receive further content unique to your relationship with them.

Emily, the university student you can meet and tutor after talking to Nora long enough, has had her story expanded. If her marks climb high enough you can now talk to Nora and convince her to let Emily rewrite a critical exam and pass her course. Once she passes you have the option to hire Emily onto your staff. Future updates will include variants where Emily fails her exam as well as explore your relationship with her mother.

Here's a changelog for everything that has been added (v0.41.2 to v0.42.0):
CHANGES AND ADDITIONS
  • Removed requirement for custom Ren'py environment (modified ast.rpy and export.rpy files) by making Person class callable.
  • Created uniform assignment screen. Replaces old text menu uniform management.
  • Added UniformOutfit class. Contains information about how an outfit could be worn as part of a uniform.
  • Now possible to flag the same outfit to be used as multiple types of uniform (ie. a full outfit or an overwear set).
  • Now possible to quickly flag the same uniform to be used by multiple departments, without it being assigned to all of them.
  • Updated "add_uniform" event, removing "the_type" parameter as it was no longer relevant.
  • Updated integration tests to cover new uniform management system.
  • Added "preg_your_kids_known" count to event_triggers_dict. Increased by 1 each time a girl has a kid that she knows is yours.'
  • Added "looks_like" list to Role class. Person.has_role() now checks against roles as well as roles they look like, returning True if the given role matches any of them.
  • Added has_exact_role() function to Person class. Performs role comparison but does not check against looks_alike roles.
  • Added unit tests for role lookalikes and has_exact_role comparison.
  • Added lily_girlfriend Role. Acts as Girlfriend role in almost all instances.
  • Added special storyline events for Lily while asking her to be your girlfriend.
  • Added jennifer_girlfriend Role. Acts as Girlfriend role in almost all instances.
  • Expanded Emily's storyline. Now possible to have her finish her class successfully and hire her to your company.

BUG FIXES

  • Fixed anal cumshots impacting sluttiness/happiness based on normal creampie opinion, not anal creampie opinion.
  • Fixed creampie desire threshold having backwards modifiers.
  • Fixed being able to reassign employees to other departments even when they aren't at work.
  • Fixed movie date improperly checking Personality types and never allowing you to correctly guess which type of movie a girl might like.
