Newlife 0.4.17

Hello everyone!

Newlife 0.4.17 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 release adds the public-consummation and nude-bride paths to the wedding. It also overhauls how virginity is stored with each male npc now having their knowledge of your virginity tracked separately.

Changelog:

Major changes & additions:

• Overhauled how virginity is handled. Now men will no longer know you're a virgin automatically. Instead, you can tell them on a date or during a makeout, or they might figure it out from general conversation. Losing your virginity may leave some blokes still thinking you haven't been with a man.
• Added the “public consummation” path to the wedding.
• Added the “nude bride” path to the wedding.

Minor changes:

• Improvements to the endgame section, mostly to better handle marriage.
• Updated some scenes the innocent-friend gallery scene to account for the PC's first time being on her wedding day.
• Men will be less likely to try to take you to the alleyway in the porn movie scene.
• Updated the jerk-friend introduction scene yet again to work better with virginity, including the new potential for him to discover her virginity partway through the scene.
• Following a report by Sync, changed the conditions for NPCs initiating anal sex when trying for a baby. This is now much less likely to happen unless it's a safe day for the PC.

Changes for user-submitted content:

• Added support for tracking the PC's behaviour towards an NPC, including access to the default behaviour-choosing methods.
• Added 2 new test game flags, for writers whose scenes need more than one.
• Added the isBelievesVirgin method to check if an NPC believes the PC is a virgin and the informVirgin and informNotVirgin methods to change this.

Bugfixes:

• Fixes to text issues. Thanks to Jason Montana, Saur, Sync, Eulexia, atc, OrangeJuice and MadCat for reporting some of these.
• Fixed an issue reported by Flanjygo where the end-of-scene text for dates in town wasn't correct for characters whose partners like to share them with other men.
• Fixed a bug reported by Brett where the character creation screen was always setting the female PC's age to 'late-teens'.
• Fixed a bug where the clothing changes for the sleep-together scene wouldn't always happen following house-parties, thanks to Sync for inspiring the investigation that found this.
• Fixed a bug reported by revan54 where your husband could leave you when informed you're pregnant.

Enjoy the new version, and let me know if you find any bugs!
