Newlife 0.6.3

Hello everyone, I hope you're all doing well.

Newlife 0.6.3 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 a new sex scene that can be accessed from the sitting-makeout introduced in the previous version.

Changelog:

Major changes & additions:

• Added a new sex scene: face-down on the sofa.
• Updated the sitting makeout to support transitions to sofa sex as well as escalation to more intense makeout situations. This now goes from sitting side-by-side, to straddling the man with your back to him, to being face-down on the sofa. All of these have had appropriate content added.
• Added a new set of minidate events by Lost Trouting.

Minor changes:

• Added a new internal-ejaculation text section for the missionary scene that will show up if it's your wedding night.
• Updated a few rough-content sections to be enabled when the PC has asked to be treated roughly, not just when the man does it autonomously.
• Moved position-specific sex actions a little higher in the action list.
• In addition to sitting-specific ones, added some more standard lines to the sex-description action (which outputs a simple descriptive line of what's going on rather than representing an npc action that changes game-state).
• Made various minor improvements/rewrites to some old sex actions.
• Made some updates to common makeout content that could be visible in scenes other than the sitting one.
• The booty-call event will no longer fire when your boyfriend has accepted that you're waiting for marriage. Thanks to NoName for flagging this up.
• Slightly increased the chance of the minidate event firing. It remains fairly low but can be increased in the weight modifiers file.

Changes for user-submitted content:

• Added isMum() method for female NPCs that returns true if they've given birth at least once.
• Makeout actions were updated to support the new situations, with sitting+behind and lying+behind representing the new stages of the sitting makeout scene.
• Added the HYPNOTIST trait requested by the Lost Trouting for the minidate scenes. This has a one-in-12 chance of being added to any NPC, male or female, with no conditions or opposites. The hypnotist trait is hidden and won't appear in the character summary. This is not for any in-game reason but because I felt it'd be confusing to players to see the trait appear when it's only used in one extremely-rare scene.
• Added FACE_DOWN_SOFA_SEX and SITTING_MAKEOUT to the possible transitions you can use.

Bugfixes:

• Fixes to text issues. Thanks to Stochastic, NoName, NewFace and Death25 for reporting some of these.
• Fixed a bug reported by Saint Destiny where telling your friend that you got pregnant for your husband would crash if you'd since broken up with him.
• Moved the DONT_TAKE_PILL text into the female-npc-only section of the enum reference guide. Thanks to Stochastic for reporting this.
• Fixed an issue reported by Stochastic where the “end the makeout” option wasn't prevented by the BLOCK_REJECTIONS flag.
• Fixed a misspelling of CONSCIENTIOUS in the custom npc guide.
• Fixed a line in the male endgame scene that was never shown because its condition was the same as an earlier check that sends the player down a different path.
• Fixed a bug reported over PM on tfgames.site where one of the sitting undress actions wasn't actually removing the PC's clothing as described in the text.
• Fixed a bug reported by Newface where one of the new sitting makeout actions could think the PC was still wearing her top when it had actually be removed.
• Fixed capitalisation of the street-prostitution yml file names which caused an issue running them on linux.

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