LR2 v0.41.0 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, 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. 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.
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!

Comments
Are there any plans to expand on making girls more unique? For example girls with unique physical traits? What comes to my mind very quickly: Ultra-sensitive breasts (major increase in arousal for groping and titfucks, passive arousal gain based on breasts size without bra support) Throat-pussy trait (major increase in arousal for deepthroat; arousal gain during dinner dates) Also it seems game has counter for # of sex acts performed by each girl. Maybe this counter should not only be for cosmetic purposes and will affect gameplay? Just a thought - there could be purely fluff events related to girl's sex-reputation, i.e. in the office they can get humiliated by co-workers based on what sex acts they have on record.

2021-06-06 07:35:27 +0000 UTCAh, I had forgotten this was an issue! Long pressing the name fields removes focus from them, which hides the keyboard. The name fields use to be at the top of the screen, so this wasn't an issue. At some point in the past I reordered things, and now the keyboard prevents that. I've added a button in the top left when on mobile that clears focus. Thanks for the report!

2021-06-06 07:06:50 +0000 UTCOn Android how on earth do you get the keyboard to go once you're finished typing your name? I cannot access the other text fields nor actually start a game. I've tried long pressing elsewhere, going to menu etc, not really sure how to proceed.

2021-06-05 13:22:21 +0000 UTCI've also noticed that the status bars for your goals are no longer drawing properly. The number is accurately showing your progress, but the status bar stays at zero until you accomplish the goal. This is happening in both the left-side of the main window, and in the goals window.

2021-06-03 21:54:11 +0000 UTCLooking forward to playing once my computer is fixed. Hope you kept in mind other suggestions and ideas us in the community have expressed and use them for future updates. Another great release
2021-06-03 21:51:32 +0000 UTCAlso, I just noticed that "Company Efficiency" is misspelled on the lower left portion of the main screen.
2021-06-02 06:03:09 +0000 UTCI've noticed that when you're designing a full outfit, the sluttiness for makeup (lipstick, heavy eyeshadow) is not added to the total beside Sluttiness (full outfit). I'd suggest that it should be - it's confusing when you're trying to hit a "save outfit limit". I've learned to watch for it, but in my opinion it's a usability problem at the very least, quite possibly an unintended bug. This may also apply to overwear/underwear. I haven't tested that.
2021-06-02 04:26:37 +0000 UTCStarting at the $10 level, patrons can add outfits or names each month. The higher tiers can add/suggest more. This patchnote is saying he's added those to the latest build.
