No release this month

Hi all, 

You might have noticed that I haven't posted online or replied to anyone for a while. Unfortunately I've been quite ill lately. I'm waiting for an appointment to get some tests done at a hospital, but this is a bad time for that with them busy due to covid so I don't know how much longer I'll have to wait. 

I haven't had the focus or energy to work effectively this month so there will be no July release. I've paused the Patreon so people won't be charged on August 1st, but I understand that those of you reading this here and not on Patreon probably aren't patrons and don't care so much about that sort of thing.

I'll try to get a release out next month - it's likely my ability to work will continue to be limited but between what I've managed in July and what I can get done in August it's possible I'll manage to get something out.

Sorry for the bad news, and I hope you're all doing well.

Newlife 0.7.3

 

Hello everyone!

 
Newlife 0.7.3 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.

I think that this version will be compatible with saves from the previous version, but I haven't tested it so I may be mistaken.

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 lesbian home-date scene. I intend to move onto sexual content next, but I'll be revisiting both the date and club scenes later on and there'll also be more dating content coming in the future with lesbian town-date and sleeping-together scenes.

 

Major changes & additions:

• You can now invite your partner back home from the lesbian club.

Minor changes:

• Some minor adjustments to relationship stat changes here and there: probably nothing that will be obvious.

• Long socks can now be worn as nightwear & sexy nightwear, as requested by Brobort.

Changes for user-submitted content:

• Added the wavy hairstyles to the documentation: these were in 0.7.2 but had been missed from the docs.

• Added LESBIAN_HOME_DATE as an allowable scene transition for custom scenes.

Bugfixes:

• Fixes to text issues. Thanks to AnarChYsT and Mister B for reporting some of these.

• Rewrote the behaviour-changing actions to use gender-neutral language now that they're used in the lesbian club scene. Thanks to Zab for flagging this up.

• Fixed a problem reported by Brobort where it was possible to befriend the transformed jerk twice.

• Fixed a bug reported by Bugz where the “pretend to be a ditz” action was erroring when using cum-tainted food.

• Fixed a bug reported by XenonCrossaline where the office work trip could lead to the wrong sex scene.

• Fixed a bug reported by AnarChYsT where the game wasn't properly storing when a female-start character was not a virgin at character creation, potentially leading to some incorrect text later on.

• Fixed a bug reported by StuntCuffer where the jerk-blackmail scene would error after sleeping with the blackmailer with your partner in the apartment.

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