Newlife update for Patrons

Hello everyone, there was a bug in 0.2.9 which could sometimes lead to the club dancing scene having no possible actions. I've uploaded a fixed version to Patreon, so please use that instead. 
This version also makes it less likely for men to approach you in the club if they've been rejected that evening, and there's some text fixes. Sorry for any problems you've had, and I hope you enjoy the updated version!

  1. Hi, just wondering if there will be multiple jobs, more interactions, ect in the future. Also perhaps a longer game? Because the ending comes way too fast.

    1. New careers will come in, probably 3-5 different ones. I want each career to be genuinely unique though with its own set of events. That means they'll be quite big pieces of work, so I won't be starting on new ones until I dedicate a major update to careers.

      The game's length will double to 52 weeks when version 0.3.0 is released. That should be sometime this month.

  2. Hey!

    I´ve been playing Newlife for a week, and it is great! Even though I´ve been playing it so often, I even found out new stuff today in the game. If you are going to continue doing updates for that, on top of all the things I haven´t discovered yet... well, let´s just say I´m looking forward to your updates!


    That said, I think I´ve seen you take suggestions, in which case... may I be so daring as to put in a possible scenario?

    Specifically, adding going to the beach as an alternative to going clubbing.

    I´ve been thinking about it for a bit. I don´t know the game´s structure, so I cannot tell you exactly how you could put this in. However, thinking about the issues with clothing (swimwear could work as underwear but other than that, it really cannot be mixed with the other possibilities), it definitely seems like the sort of thing that may require a specific "place category" for itself, like going clubbing does.

    Fortunately, other than that, the beach scenario has tons of possibilities that should more or less work the same way other scenarios do. You can use it to pick up men, or get noticed by them. The random men generator should more or less work the same (I think). And of course, there are all sorts of kinky possibilities for it. On the social side; going for a swim, sunbathing, going to the public showers, having a drink at a seaside pub/restaurant, playing volleyball, etc...

    On the kinky side, you have playing volleyball (if having a C or D cup), going for a swim, having sex in a discreet corner or in the water, losing the swimsuit top, dancing at a beachside party and more.

    And as for the clothing, there are many sorts of swimsuits to wear. One-pieces and bikinis among the more modest, and string or sling bikinis among the sexiest.



    I would love to see all of that added... but of course, I would understand if you couldn´t do it, or thought it was too complicated given the game´s structure. Still, I thought it was worthwhile to put the suggestion forward, so there you have it.

    In any case, good luck with your project!

    1. i quite like this beach suggestion. the seasons and weather comes into question here. i guess that whenever you plan to goto the beach, its because the weather forecast is going to be good. so that gets that part out of the way. but beach in winter?
      what if it was an indoor heated pool disguised as a beach! lol

      id like to see something swimwear related in the game one day :)

      curious

    2. A beach would be interesting, but are there beaches in England? Sounds cold.

    3. [Avi arrives in London]
      Doug the Head: Avi!
      Avi: Shut up and sit down, you big, bald fuck. I don't like leaving my own country, Doug, and I especially don't like leaving it for anything less then warm sandy beaches, and cocktails with little straw hats.
      Doug the Head: We've got sandy beaches...
      Avi: So? Who the fuck wants to see 'em?

    4. Hi, thanks for the suggestion. A beach scene would make sense as part of a holiday update, but I don't know when/if I'd add something like that. I'd rather not have you just going to the beach as part of your regular weekly routine - I don't imagine the Newlife town as being on the seaside.

    5. I would also love a beach, lake, or pool scenario! Bring on the sexy swimwear!

  4. Sorry my broken english. The main reason because i can't play - a small amount of game days. Weeks passing so fast so I just don't have time to do anything. Is there a way to choose women's life and play as much as you want?

    1. The game length will double soon with version 0.3.0

    2. Please, can you create an option to no limit game days as the dialoge in the end for example - if you got a lot of charm and femininity - the game continues, if stats are low - the end and back into male body, or maybe do this only willingly not about the stats.

    3. I probably will put in further time extensions, and that may include indefinite play, although I haven't really planned anything specific. That'll come later in development though, especially once I've added more late-game content such as marriage events and advanced careers.

  5. I'm very excited about the 0.3 update! c: Could you give us a few pointers on what to expect in it?

    1. Hi, the most important thing will be letting you actually have babies! I've written the basic pregnancy code already so in the next update you'll find your tummy growing as your pregnancy progresses. You'll no longer automatically know when you get knocked up either - now you need to get checked at the doctor, or suffer a sleepless night when you realise your period is late.

      Then for 0.3 itself there'll be a childcare skill that will affect how well you can take care of your kids - being a single mum is touch, so you'll need to train up if you don't want them to be a burden!

      There's a lot of other things to work on - I don't want to say too much yet because my plans may change before release. If you like impregnation or pregnancy then I think you'll enjoy it though :)
      If you don't like those things, well, you might just want to go on the pill!
