Newlife 0.1.4 is now available

Newlife 0.1.4 is now available for download - you can get it from the usual link on the right of the blog.

As usual, saved games & templates from older versions won't work with this one.

Changelog:
  • Clothing details pane in the outfit screen now scrolls.
  • Ambitious characters now get a large stress reduction from bring promoted. This applies to both ways of getting promotions, although only the automatic promotion (where you don't have to persuade your boss) has special text for it. Refusing a promotion does not reduce stress.
  • Improved separation of different characters in the “display characters” output for most important scenes.
  • “Amber” appeared twice on the list of eye colours for white characters - fixed.
  • Fixed a bug that was stopping event pre-requisites from being properly taken into account when choosing random events.
  • Fixed a bug that sometimes stopped clothes being added to outfits immediately after being bought.
  • Fixed underwear descriptions so you shouldn't see references to “pairs of thong”
  • Added some text for pregnant women buying drinks in clubs
  • Stopped pregnant women getting drunk on dates in town.
  • Fixed some issues with sex scene descriptions. Thanks to souldead341 from the tfgamessite forums for reporting these.
  • Added text for when the player loses their virginity cowgirl style: thanks for Cubano from HF for reporting that this was missing.
  • Fixed various typos etc. Credit is due to Cubano from HF for reporting a whole load of these
  • Added special text for the “wrap legs” action with very fat lovers: as suggested by Cubano (again), and also because I hadn't written much thin girl + fat man text recently ;-)
  • New random event chain.
  • Shop & clothing lists are now sorted.
  • New scenes for spending the night with someone and for the next morning.
  • Made it a bit easier to get your lovers to spend the night
  • The “Sleep Together” and the friendly “Say Goodbye” actions for dates in your home are now available when you're nearing the end of the night, and not just straight after sex. The old “ask him to leave” action has been renamed “kick him out” and has slightly stronger negative effects on your relationship. Having sex also no longer ends your dates at home now.

Some of the more complex scenes haven't had every possible path exhaustively tested, so bugs, typos, spacing issues and punctuation errors may have slipped through. Please report any that you find. Thanks for playing, and have fun!

  2. Have you played such game like "cursed"? http://anonymousmangames.blogspot.ru/

    This game don't develop anymore but it have a lot of similarities with your game. Author stoped development cause of gamedesign mistakes, He made different career ruts and every time he tried to make new version he had to write conten separetly for every career, developmen became slow and his donations downed,

    Why I am telling this? I think you have a great idea and hope you can succeed. What do you think about Patreon? If you talk a little to Fenoxo, I think he will add your blog to his list of links, and a lot of people find out your game. After this you can have steady income of donations through Patreom

    1. Thanks for the suggestion :) I'm focused on getting 0.2 done at the moment, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to have some income from Newlife so I'll definitely have a look at Patreon after that,

  3. Have to ask, will there be any rape involved? Y/n?

    1. Ok, understandable. Also, good game so far! Maybe as an evening activity include acting as a call girl?

    2. Thanks. I'm not planning on adding a prostitution job to the game, although there will eventually be scenes that let you do things like sleeping with a client to close a sale.

  4. Is there a way to call or go on a date with the old man you meet while slacking off? He seems like such a nice fellow.

    1. It's sweet that you want to go out with the nice old man instead of the handsome young party-guys you meet at the club :)
      There's no romantic or sexual option available with him - I specifically wanted to add an event which isn't about sex. I do have some future plans for date-able good guys with custom scenes, but of course you'll have to wait for them.
      In the meantime, it's certainly possible for a normal NPC in the club to be generated with the same personality & traits as the old man from work, if you can find him among the self-centered douchebags. Good luck :)

    2. I'm starting to understand what women mean when they say all the good guys are taken, seems like everyone you meet at the bar is a dick.

    3. Good luck out there! If you look hard enough, maybe you'll meet someone nice

  5. Are there any clothes options for legs in the game or am i just not seeing them?

    1. None - legwear hasn't been implemented yet

      Delete
    2. Ah, what sort of items were you intended on having if you don't mind me asking? also is getting the guys to wear a condom meant to be difficult because even with iron will they most often refuse

      Delete
    3. Stockings, fishnets, thigh-high socks and suchlike. Normal socks won't be included because they just cover the feet & ankles, and tights won't be in because I don't want to put in an extra layer that would need to be removed before sex.

      For condoms, willpower affects whether you're focused enough to ask but not whether they accept. That's based on their personality, traits & how much they like you.
      For guys who hate condoms, you're generally best off finding someone else if safety is a concern.

  6. Great game! The interactivity of sex really helps distinguish it from games like CoC, where sex is just a cut scene / wall of text. I'm looking forward to more content being added to the game.

    I was wondering if you were planning to add some more interesting jobs in the game. You've nixed prostitution, which I think is a good call, but what about stripper? Clothes and eroticism pretty much define the game, so working as a stripper would seem like a good fit. Or perhaps a job bar tending or waiting tables where your choice of clothes and persona (flirty, cute, etc.) could determine the size of your tip? Or both, one leading into the other as you become more comfortable with your body and sexuality?

    1. Thanks :) The first three jobs will probably be sales, office work and waitressing. After that... we'll have to see.

  7. What about a family? That's a lot of work tho. Aka continuing the pregancy? Telling the guy and see how he reacts. Like if he runs away XD But you could end the game with having the baby
    ANYWAY GREAT GAME <3 <3 Much love <3 <3

    1. Thank you, glad you're enjoying it :) The version 0.3 update will cover pregnancy properly and will let you go from fertilization all the way to having a baby. Marriage will also be added one day, though not quite so soon as pregnancy.

  8. Hi, I played your game and I would like to do a spanish translation, if you have no problem with it. (You would get all credits, of course).

    One question:
    Can the protagonist do blowjobs during sex? I have v0.1.3 and I can't do it.
    If it's not in the game, it would be a nice addition to the game.

    Greetings.

  9. Thanks for the offer, but I don't think Newlife is written in a way which makes translation realistic. The text and even the grammatical structure of some sentences is tied up with the code itself and I don't see a way of separating them without extensive code changes.
    I can see that translation would be useful to some people - if I start a new game when Newlife is finished then setting it up in a way which would let it be translated is something I'd definitely consider.
    Newlife originally wasn't intended for public release and so a lot of design decisions made in the early days put limitations on what's possible now. After over a year of development, it would simply take too much work to change those decisions now, so unfortunately we're stuck with them.
    Oral sex is due sometime in the set of changes leading up to 0.3.
