Newlife 0.5.7

Hello everyone!

Newlife 0.5.7 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 is the first of a final pair of releases that will finish up the pregnancy update.

Changelog:

Major changes & additions:

• Added a new scene that will fire the first time a female friend gets pregnant.

Minor changes:

• Increased the likelihood for impregnators to attempt to sabotage the PC's pills.
• Added liking changes to the cooking class scene female path. You should now be able to befriend the female NPC from the class without needing to meet her out clubbing.
• The post-transformation scene with the genderbent jerk-friend (the one where you can get your bf to fuck her) will now give you the opportunity to befriend her, if you have free friendship slots.

Changes for user-submitted content:

• Added persistent character flags that can be set by writers. These are intended for writers who need to store information across in-game weeks but who don't intend to submit their scenes for inclusion in the game and therefore were previously limited by the test gameflags. See “Persistent Character Flags” in the context object reference for details.
• Making a porn film that's good enough to appear in the sleazy cinema will now add a new trait to the player-character: PORN_STAR.
• Added tables of contents to the reference documentation, as suggested by Lost Trouting.
• Added a very simple “divorce” custom scene to the documentation folder. This may be helpful as a quick template without all the long descriptions of the main example scene.

Bugfixes:

• Fixes to text issues. Thanks to Stochastic, TaeTae, MadCat and Jacob N for reporting some of these.
• Fixed a bug with the genderbent jerk friend scene where being nice to her was ending the scene without the opportunity to get her fucked.

 

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

This is the lactation update, with milk all over the place.



Changelog:

Major changes & additions:

• Improvements to lactation: See the Minor Changes section for details.

Minor changes:

• The PC will now continue lactating for a while after giving birth.
• New trait: Milky. This makes the PC lactate all the time, regardless of pregnancies.
• Lactation can be disabled in the options screen.
• New stat: facials received.
• Added lactation content for sex scenes and makeout-actions.
• Lactating characters get an alternative “make coffee” action when curing hangovers the next morning where the coffee isn't black.
• One new lactation-themed socialisation event.
• Added line-breaks to the “cheats in secret mode” tooltip in the options screen – thanks to Corvus for reporting that they were missing.
• Updated the wedding-vow-discussion scene to handle the PC owing her fiance a favour, something which currently only happens if he paid for her wedding dress.
• Added a few passages requested over PM on Patreon to the final scenes in the recent impregnator-friend scene chain.

Changes for user-submitted content:

• Added a removeTrait method to NPCs.

Bugfixes:

• Fixes to text issues. Thanks to Saint Destiny, Sync, Catpocalypse, OrangeJuice. NewFace, Classique75 and Saur for reporting some of these, as well as an anonymous person who was very helpful with a long list of issues over PM on patreon.
• Updated street-prostitution payments to be consistent with the text.
• The “pay a party-girl's bar tab” path in the befriending scene will now correctly make her a friend. Thanks to Unknown for reporting this bug.

 

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

Newlife 0.5.5

Hello everyone!

Newlife 0.5.5 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.

There's a guide for new players here which includes some troubleshooting tips for installation & downloading.



Changelog:

Major changes & additions:

• New party-girl path to the events added in the last release, with a new final scene where you convince her to get bred by challenging her to dares.
• Added the street-prostitution scenes written by Secondarian. The first will appear as a once-per-game free-time random event which is more likely if you're dressed provocatively. If you choose to prostitute yourself in this scene then a new weekend activity will open up that lets you do so repeatedly.

Minor changes:

• Renamed the “say goodnight” option in the pregnancy discussion scene to “get an early night” to make it clearer that it doesn't mean your husband will be leaving the flat.
• Added a couple of new greeting lines for impregnator men on dates.
• Added blue, white and pink striped socks.
• The shop-selection dropdown is now hidden in wardrobe-mode.
• The HOTEL_PROSTITUTION_CLIENT NPC-trait is now deprecated as the same pool of NPCs is used for both hotel and street prostitution. Use the new PROSTITUTION_CLIENT trait for these custom NPCs instead. Old NPCs with HOTEL_PROSTITUTION_CLIENT will still work as the game will automatically give them the new trait.
• Failing to convince the impregnation-target to go off the pill no longer blocks the seduction route to sabotaging her contraception, even if she brushed you off without even talking to you. It's a bit unrealistic that the PC can bed a woman but not get her to talk to her over coffee, but I found the earlier implementation excessively frustrating in testing.

Bugfixes:

• Fixes to text issues. Thanks to Saint Destiny, NoName, SlenderOstrich, Sync, MadCat and Saur for reporting some of these.
• Fixed an error that could cause the description for a pregnant NPC to use the wrong pregnancy status.
• Fixed (I think) an issue reported by MadCat where the pregnancy discussion with your partner could trigger even if the player informed him of her pregnancy the week before.
• Updated the conditions for cheating-guilt in the anal scene to be consistent with other sex scenes. Thanks to Katie for pointing this out.
• You can no longer kick your husband out at the end of a house-party: it's his home too! Thanks to NoName for reporting this (as well as lots and lots of text issues!)
• Fixed an issue reported by Sight where the Cunning checkbox is misaligned in the male chargen screen.
• Fixed a bug where the colour for men's ruffle shirts was sometimes chosen incorrectly.
• Fixed a bug that could allow invalid NPC character types to be chosen for the new breeding scene-chain.
• Fixed a bug reported by MadCat where the “always accept sex” vow wasn't checked in the electro-couch scene.
• Fixed a bug where sabotaging the impregnation-target's pills didn't allow you to move to the final scene.
• The impregnation target cannot be chosen as the woman with whom you catch your partner cheating if he's the guy you're helping impregnate her.

 

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