Take over 0.3.1
Added 2018-05-05 14:09:59 +0000 UTCPC: MEGA
MAC: MEGA
Well this was really important, for 0.4 I will change how I work on the build so I have more time to bugfixing it.
0.3.1 should correct most of the bugs for now, at least the most obvious, also it will help with balance of the game to make it less grindy.
OLD saves not working, you need this patch, install it inside the "game" folder MEGA
This also includes a lot of rebalance, trying to make the game less grindy and faster to play. I apologize if it felt like a grind fest, but its hard to find the exact point to make it not too easy but enjoyable.
-A lot of bug fixes.
-Now you get more serums when producing with supplies (2 instead of 1 and 7 instead of 5 for the batch)
-Adjusted Dimitria “ask for money” favor.
-Wage can now be increased up to $30 a day (once when Dimitria’s corruption is at 40 and again when at 80 or more)
-It now takes 3 days before Vera and Hilde visit the lab, instead of immediately after corrupting Dimitria.
-There is a hidden stat that tracks how many “illegal supplies” you’ve used (increasing your suspicion the more you do it). Now after delivering serums each week to Vera this number will decrease, depending on her trust on you.
-Reduced trust requisites for some of Vera’s favors and the new Vera sex scene. Also significantly increased how much trust you get per delivery, specially if you deliver more than what she asks for.
-When you discover the serum for the first time, you now get 5 serums instead of two.
-Working now reduces 10 points of suspicion instead of 5, and resting also reduces suspicion now (5 points).

2020-02-08 10:46:36 +0000 UTCHey, thanks for your comment! I dont really know "The Gift", but considering that there are so many games taking from others I wouldnt be surprised I have a similar mechanic somewhere. About how far it will go, I want to add a lot of side activities, events and content. 0.4 its almost totally focused on developing Celia, Katy, Mirjana and Dimitria, giving them more background, also exploring more the country/world were they live in. I never finished playing lab rats to be honest, probably only explored half of its content, but all things considered I would say you can at least expect as much, even though the main story it's going to be essential to the game. I probably will make that eventually you wont have to personally grind serum yourself, so the MC can focus on other fun activities.

2018-05-19 22:16:52 +0000 UTCJust found this game recently and I was instantly on board. Actually my very first renpy game I played was "Lab Rats" and it's easy to see where your inspiration for this game comes from. There's maybe even a little bit of "The Gift" in here. Which makes this game perfect for me considering Lab Rats 2 is not going where I would want it to go. This is the perfect replacement for it. I like the tight story structure that takes you often enough away from the sandbox grind and doesn't cause logical loops in the corruption order. What makes me wonder is how deep this game is gonna be able to go as far as side activities and events go. Can I expect a similar amount of side activities, random events and cross character scenes as in Lab Rats or will it more closely follow the story with the serum grind being just a means to advance in it?

2018-05-19 21:55:53 +0000 UTCYeah! actually I added a broadcast event, but IIRC only kicks in if you have like 70+ suspicion or something like that, I may have to tweatk it to make it more often. Also for 0.4 the update will be mostly about lore content, pausing the progression of the story and the corruption to add to the feeling of the oppresive state. I also will try to add more small events like that, but yeah media and internet control of the government its going to be very present. I'm glad you liked what we have so far and I'm always eager to give some variety to the characters in the game, also having more ways to progress than just corrupting everyone but actually creating strong relationships too!

2018-05-12 19:45:38 +0000 UTCSorry for the late response! I swear I thought I had answer, I may have forgotten to hit enter! Yeah you can unlock it via cheating with Shift + O and writing exactly _gene_ideal = True

2018-05-12 19:42:37 +0000 UTCWith the release of 0.3 I see how you're able to demonstrate skill in weaving in dystopian mind mind control fantasy with some real aspects of mind control. Do you think you could add more of the effect that government controlled or government helping media can have, maybe in incidental broadcast events etc? I'd imagine that if some word got out of the main character's project, that the government would start snooping on people's internet connections too, right. Managed to complete your story so far and I'm really glad that you've got this plus-size character in, in a way that's actually powerful and sympathetic - I'm interested to see where that goes too. Anyway, enough from me - Thank you very much for what you've given so far :)

2018-05-12 19:29:49 +0000 UTCI got to the point where I unlocked the gene therapy but after looking everywhere in the city I can't figure out how to make or use it. Is it hidden or something?

2018-05-11 01:29:41 +0000 UTCI think if you have "0" serums the option doesnt pops out, i will change it so its always there but tells you "you need a serum to do this action" so is less puzzling You need to research only 35 points and then it unlocks the ability to produce serum, doesnt takes long. Anyway, I dont think many people have found the game too changelling, and i cant make it either a "1 click win" I'll do some of those changes so at least its more obvious whats happening

2018-05-10 11:55:32 +0000 UTCI do like the concept of the game but it doesn't give me an option to use the serum anywhere. No matter what happens no options are given but options you can't use are there. I've researched until I got fed up with the grind. Look, I really don't want to bust your balls but if you want people to play your game you have to give them something other than dismal game play with a depressing theme. I hope your game gets better but I won't download it again anytime soon

2018-05-10 05:52:30 +0000 UTCI am not sure what is the specific problem you are facing. You talk and help whom? No one really asks you for help in the game, so that throws me off. You can currently corrupt 4 characters: Celia, Katy, Mirjana, and Dimitria. To corrupt them you give them the serum, which is accesible so long you have serums in your inventory. I also keep adjusting the balance of the game, IMO right now its significantly easier than before: Suspicion doesnt grows much, and you can easily reduce it with work, your wage can be increased more (altho its kinda bugged), and serums are produced in bigger quantities too. edit: I understand sometimes it may not be intuitive, I probably need to expand the "Help" section in the computer, or add a short tutorial when you start the game, but I'm trying to reduce the grind to the point of being acceptable. Also if its emma the one who asks you to corrupt for the 4th date, yeah you need to corrupt Celia and Katy

2018-05-09 21:51:49 +0000 UTCI've played this and all I get from this is frustration. You talk, you help and nothing happens. And it loops. It's says, "I need to corrupt them more." Of course there is no option for it. I would play more but the grind is just a frustrating chore. I see no future in this game if you piss off the people playing it
