Newlife 0.6.1 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 PMW release, with videoing content voted on by supporters. Have fun, and remain indoors!
Changelog:
Major
changes & additions:
- Men can now film you during (PiV) sex: either with your prior agreement or sometimes without. Such videos can also be leaked online.
Minor
changes:
- Added some text in some situations when returning to the club after having sex.
- Adjusted the numbers around condoms breaking to make it a bit more likely for less vigorous men and increase the effects of the condom-damage trait.
- The bastard decision scene now has a path that lets you dump a bastard boyfriend.
- Significantly reduced the weight of starting the pornoshoot scene chain unless you've had porn videos leaked online before, and it's particularly low if you lack the sultry trait. However, once several videos have been leaked the weight will become higher than it was in previous versions.
- Doormat NPCs will now look insecure when they approach you in the club. There's probably lots that can be done to expand club approaches, but this at least gives players a hint about that trait and will hopefully make his reaction to infidelity seem a bit more expected.
- Added a few extra npc dialogue lines in the makeout scene for when you're trying for a baby with your partner.
- Reduced the effect of high liking on whether an NPC will want you to become his girlfriend.
- Made it less likely for a man who doesn't want kids to ask the PC to become his girlfriend if she's pregnant or has children.
- Added some new text when a man who broke up with you before wants to get together when you're trying to make friends. Thanks to Ptera for flagging up this situation: along with the above changes to the girlfriend calculation this should hopefully improve how that situation is handled.
- Added an impregnation-themed NPC speech action option to the nightclub.
- Pressing the delete key in the outfit screen will now delete the currently selected outfit, as suggested by Morion.
Changes
for user-submitted content:
- Sex scenes will now set a results flag LOST_VIRGINITY when appropriate. This is removed when post-sex flags are cleared. It allows for more specific post-sex text in returning sections.
- Improved tables-of-contents in some of the documentation following advice from Lost Trout.
Bugfixes:
- Fixes to text issues. Thanks to OrangeJuice, Ptera, Saint Destiny, Luna and NoName for reporting some of these.
- Fixed a bug reported by NoName where cuckoo babies weren't always being considered for disabling the “have three children” vow.
- Fixed an error reported by HighLigerBimBam and L1L ST4BB13S where the concert scene could error if the PC is single.
- Fixed some situations where agreeing to try for a baby wouldn't stop the PC from taking the pill. Thanks to Frozen Summers for reporting this.
- Fixed a bug reported by Luna where a man could receive successive oral sex from both the PC and an NPC when winning a round of blackjack.
- Blocked the “get her tipsy” action when helping an ugly male friend get laid if the female NPC is pregnant. Thanks to Stochastic for reporting this oversight.
Enjoy the new version, and let me know if you find any bugs!
