Newlife 0.4.8 has been released. Early-access Patrons can find it in the creations section here. The changelog is below.
The previous version is now public. You can download it using the links on the right-hand side of the blog. The public version's changelog is here.
As usual, saved files & templates from older versions probably won't work with newer ones.
For new players - just use one of the links to the right to get a zipfile containing Newlife. Once unzipped, you'll see a folder containing .jar and .exe files. Either one of these will run the game.
For either version you'll need to have Java installed. A lot of programs use Java so you might well already have it. If the jar shows up as an unrecognised file type, then you probably don't. In that case you can get it from http://www.java.com/.
The exe should tell you if you don't have the right version on your computer, but you'll still need to install java to run the game.
There's a guide for new players here which includes some troubleshooting tips for installation & downloading.
This one adds a new sex scene: standing from behind. This adds some much-needed variety to sexual encounters in locations without beds.
Major
changes & additions:
- Added a new sex scene.
- Renamed the 18/19 age category to late_teens, along with a disclaimer that this means they're at least 18. This affects custom NPCs as well, so any that you've created with eighteen_nineteen as their age will need it replaced with the late_teens.
Minor
changes & bugfixes:
- Fixes to text issues. Thanks to Saur and OrangeJuice for reporting problems they found.
- Added a new trait requested by Klaus S for custom male npcs: INFERTILE. This will only ever appear on custom characters and never randomly – you need to set it in the yml file to have such a character appear. The trait makes him unable to get you pregnant, although it has no effect on in-game text – presumably neither him nor your character is actually aware of his infertility.
- Increased the relationship penalty when your partner forgets your anniversary.
- Fixed a problem with timings in the nightclub reported by OrangeJuice that could lead to the scene ending when you were deciding who to approach.
.
Enjoy the new version, and let me know if you find any bugs!
I think I found a bug.
ReplyDelete1) Get pregnant - but don't find out about it yet.
2) Get a boyfriend - someone other than the guy who got you pregnant.
3) Have the doctor discover the pregnancy and tell you who it's from.
--The game then accuses you of being unfaithful.
The "unfaithful" text also shows up just after childbirth.
DeleteThanks, I'll be looking into this when I improve cheating content, which will be in one of the next few releases.
DeleteThere is an event where you are spending time with an impregnator friend and he gets confronted by a woman he had previously knocked up. Do you think it would be possible to add a scene where the player gets to play that role after having been knocked up?
ReplyDeleteI hope we get a reverse Tanya situation when we finally get married as well.
DeleteThe advanced options were available for everyone, why is the option for the lenght/weeks (that is he most important) gone as well?
ReplyDeleteit's not?
Delete...there are not...
DeleteDid you run through the game once after downloading the new version before trying to edit the length and whatnot?
DeleteHey! I'm still loving your work on this great game. (I can't TELL you how hard it is to find really good naughty games with female PCs.)
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to share a couple of quick suggestions. I don't know how difficult these might be to implement, either, so please don't hesitate to tell me these are too unrealistic to add!
* Would it be possible to add some kind of flavor text if a passionate orgasm happens during a sex scene at a house party? I know that might not be something you specifically track (and this might be especially tricky if the sex scene involves cheating with a boyfriend or fiancé present, which could complicate things). But I thought it might be fun if, upon returning from the sex scene, the description included something about the other partygoers watching you return, having heard you going at it, and clapping/whistling/cheering or whatever. (Maybe a refined PC would be especially embarrassed, while a more brazen PC might even be a little proud.)
* What about... I don't know, I tried to think of a more "appropriate" term, but maybe a "cumslut" trait? I was just thinking, it might be fun if, after a guy finishes on the PC's face/breasts, some PCs would actually rub it in and keep wearing it (rather than immediately wiping it off). I don't even think that would change much except the last description of the scene. (Maybe some guys would even have the trait of being especially fond of cumsluts?)
I hope these thoughts don't seem pushy or unappreciative of the wonderful work you're already doing! I really am loving your game.
Hi, glad you're enjoying it!
DeleteI've made a note about your passionate orgasm idea. That sort of thing isn't tracked across scenes currently - information transfer between scenes is generally quite awkward in Newlife. However, I can see how it would add flavour to the party scene so I'll have al ook into it at some point.
I don't think I'll be adding a cumslut situation, although it might be possible to adjust the scene ending description. The problem there is again information transfer - if the pc is supposed to be messy when she returns to the parent scene then they all need to account for that which has a tendency to get awkward and bug-prone, especially if they don't clean her up immediately and risk transferring onto other scenes.
I've put a note in to potentially add some more ending text there, but I'd rather not put in a whoole new trait just for that - perhaps it can cue off the sultry trait.
well, the game become better but i suggest that you add pantyhouse to Legwear and implant Footwear. Beside, the game are somewhat restricted in choosing outfit, more freedom in wearing outfit(like you can wearing a miniskirt to your workplace or a blouse to a dance club or even at house, etc...)
ReplyDeleteI hope there will have indoor(at house) event. And Job choosing after getting a "new life"
There's a standing-from-behind sex scene in 0.4.8, although the makeout path into it is very simple in that version. 0.4.9 will greatly improve the makeout aspect of it as well as making some other improvements to certain makeout actions that have become quite outdated.
ReplyDeleteI have to ask this but will there be one where you play as a male like after 1.0.0? becasue i would love to play as the guy in this game where you have to pick up girls becareful (or not) on not getting girls knocked up or getting away with it
ReplyDeleteNot in Newlife - the whole game assumes the pc is female. Male gameplay would pretty much require making an entirely new game.
DeleteHowever, I do have some ideas around a male-perspective game with some similarities to Newlife that I would like to work on if I can find the time. Making it a separate game would let me avoid the design issues that plague Newlife so it's something I'd greatly enjoy doing.
I can't for the life of me believe that you haven't done this yet, but why can we not make our male custom NPC's prefer anal? We can do prefer oral and vaginal, but not anal. Why?
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure you can. Do you have the latest update of the charactor creator? FreshSalad's definitely has the option for likes anal.
DeleteThat was an oversight when adding the trait. I think it actually was enabled for custom NPCs but I forgot to update the documentation. Anyway, it's fixed in 0.4.9.
