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!
