Time for some R&D: Developing an Android Version
v0.6.1 is out in the wild and doing well, with a few minor bugs reported and fixed up for the next release already. Next up is v0.7, which will add hub scenes for all the characters (currently only Lily has one, as a proof of concept added a few updates ago).
Before I get started on that though, I'm going to spend a few days doing some pure research and development. In particular I'm going to be looking at what's involved in creating and maintaining an android version of Lab Rats. If that goes well I'll turn out a test version and put it up for $5 patrons for bug testing and push it out to the public when it's tidied up.

Hi I'm stuck on how do I create red serum?
Yeah g'day Vren, I have been playing your game for several weeks now , and I love it so many twists and turns. I haven't yet been able to finalize with Mom or Sister. No problem just enjoying the quest.Thought I should provide something in return for the fun. All the best, keep up your imaginative and artistic work.
Ren'py supports android, it'll primarily require some UI changes and the majority of the existing work would be shared between the two. Basically, you could run a command from Ren'py dev tools and spit out an android version of the game right now, it just isn't too usable because of controls.
Ya, that's what I've discovered. It'll take a little bit of tweaking of the UI to make sure it's playable (The font also needs to be updated, and a few other minor issues). Once that's done hopefully I'll be able to turn out an android version alongside the public release.
