Hi all,
I mistakenly linked a buggy version of 0.7.15 as the public release yesterday. I've now updated this to 0.7.15b which shouldn't crash when you enter a sex scene.
I only had the patron version of 0.7.15b to hand, so that's the one I've uploaded. I've also updated the link on the tfgames.site entry.
Sorry for the mix-up and thanks to the people who let me know about this!
Hello everyone!
Newlife 0.7.16 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 saves should be compatible across versions this time, though I haven't tested this and can't make any promises.
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 makes Maki and Vanessa - the nightclub lesbian dancers - into proper NPCs and gives them some updated content.
Major changes & additions:
Converted the nightclub lesbians (formerly “Maki” and “Vanessa”) into proper NPCs and updated their scene to handle the potential for a wider range of characters.
Added a new repeatable random event with the posh club lesbian. This can potentially end with her having sex with a man (various jerk/selfish men can be chosen). If she gets pregnant then her and her partner will break up, disabling their special scenes but allowing them to appear as normal NPCs in the club or lesbian club.
Minor changes:
Tweaked some text in the leadin to the dance with Maki & Vanessa.
Added “Maki” and “Vanessa” to the default name lists now that the preset characters are procedurally generated.
Getting the pervy sales client to have sex with the posh lesbian will unlock an action when selling to him that gives you a significant bonus to your persuasion score.
Npcs with the long-lasting trait get reduced arousal gain at high arousal levels (-1 to all increases with a minimum of 1 when at ENJOY threshold or higher).
Changes for user-submitted content:
Added traits (POSH_NIGHTCLUB_LESBIAN & FLIRTY_NIGHTCLUB_LESBIAN) to allow custom versions of the nightclub lesbians.
Added a yml file with disabled versions of the nightclub lesbians that reflect, as closely as possible, how they were defined in older versions. Enable these if you specifically want “Maki” and “Vanessa”.
Following a request by DoctaSax, added a new allowable scene transition: OUTFIT_CHANGE. This is very short subscene where the PC can change her clothes to any of her created outfits. See the documentation in the YML_Syntax_Guide for details.
Bugfixes:
Fixes to some text issues. Thanks to Tryingthegames and JulianR.Amazing for reporting some of these.
Fixed a bug reported by Zab and AnarChYsT where the jerk could initiate scene transitions that don't support the partner phone call if he does so after the phone call happens but before the PC actually answers.

This is the PMW release for 2022.
Major changes & additions:
Added variant date/sex/makeout content around being caught in the act while cheating. To access it you need to be making out with a male jerk who is not an inept lover on a date at home while you're in a relationship with someone you don't know has the LIKES_TO_SHARE trait (i.e. either they don't have it, or your character doesn't know yet). There's a few more minor conditions, but those should cover the main ones.
The PC can now get an abortion if the relevant property is enabled (it is disabled by default). Other conditions: you must have money to pay for it, must not have an active baby-making vow, must not be baby-crazy.
The PC's partner (if she has one) will not react to her getting an abortion: given that it's disabled by default, I don't feel it justifies extensive new content. Let's assume she talks to them about it off-camera.
Minor changes:
Some internal rework of the makeout scenes. This shouldn't affect how they appear to players, but please let me know if you find any new bugs.
Updated the recently-added open relationship scene to better handle an already-pregnant girlfriend. Thanks to Sync for highlighting some issues here.
Blocked impregnation the same week a pregnancy is ended (by abortion or giving birth) so the PC can not get pregnant from sex while she was already pregnant. The mechanics would support an infertile period after giving birth, but I've chosen not to implement this at present so you can get pregnant the following week: let me know if you think a safe-time following birth would improve the game.
Added a break-up option to lesbian home-dates, as requested by Saint Destiny. It has the same conditions as the MF version: specifically, it's blocked at high love levels.
Added the new phone-call multiplier to weight_modifiers.properties, as suggested by JulianR.Amazing.
Updated some makeout speech actions to recognise if the PC's partner is on the phone.
Updated some sex actions to recognise the PC being on the phone. This also includes adding suspicion increases so it may be a little harder to keep things secret from your partner.
Reduced NPC arousal gain from sex during the partner-phone-call route if he has the long-lasting trait.
The Jerk gets a -ve to arousal when the pc's partner ends the phone call to come to her flat as he's motivated to keep the sex going longer. This is increased if he has the long-lasting trait.
Bugfixes:
Fixes to some text issues. Thanks to Saint Destiny, StuntCuffer, Zab, OrangeJuice and Sync for reporting some of these.
Fixed a bug reported by StuntCuffer where confessing cheating to your girlfriend could error with an un-set NPC reaction.
Fixed an error reported by OrangeJuice where the impregnator-friend-breeding-help event chain was not properly handling the PC telling him not to target her girlfriend.
Fixed a bug with the new caught-cheating content reported by JulianR.Amazing and StuntCuffer where the scene would error if the PC had sex with the jerk again after having been on the phone before in that scene-chain.
Fixed an issue from the preliminary version where some of the new actions were only implemented in doggy-style and not other sex scenes.
Fixed an issue where some it was still possible to transition to scenes that didn't support partner-phone-call content while on the phone.
Hello everyone!

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.

This
release adds more content for the "open relationship" situation that was recently added, as well as updating some issues around lesbian relationships.
Major changes & additions:
Added a new weekend event for when the PC is in an open lesbian relationship. This has a few routes that depend on character-type, so not every part will be available in every game.
Updated the pregnancy discussion scene to work with your girlfriend as well as your female friends, as suggested by JulianR.Amazing.
Minor changes:
Reduced the weight for the initiate-oral NPC action in lesbian makeouts.
NPCs who don't much like oral can now end the lesbian cunnilingus scene.
Updated the week planner's messages about friendship/partner statuses to use correct pronouns instead of they/them.
Removed the friendship-status condition for the “help your impregnator friend” event chain.
Made it much more likely for an impregnator friend to choose your girlfriend as his target in this event chain.
Added a random check to NPCs asking the PC to become their girlfriend when she suggests being friends – there's now a 1/3 chance the NPC will not do this even when conditions are met.
Increased the chance of an NPC accepting to be friends and nothing more after asking the PC to become their girlfriend during a befriending attempt.
Bugfixes:
Fixes to some text issues. Thanks to TroupeDev, Zab, Saint Destiny, Sync and AnarChYsT for reporting some of these.
Fixed an issue reported by AnarChYsT where your boyfriend could ask you to try for a baby even when you'd agreed not to have sex until marriage.
Fixed some issues with shyness-cure reported by Klubbly.
Fixed some issues with the hypnotist scene, also reported by Klubbly.
Fixed an issue where the impregnator friend would not try to sleep with your girlfriend if she had the sophisticated character-type.
Hello everyone!

This
release adds support for cheating in lesbian relationships.
Major changes & additions:
The PC can now confess or get confronted for cheating on a lesbian partner. A key difference is that a lesbian partner with the likes-to-share trait will suggest they have an open relationship where both can sleep with other people. This ties into a number of other changes in this (and future) releases.
Added an alternative route to the impregnator-friend breeding event chain for when his target is the pc's girlfriend.
Minor changes:
Following some feedback from A Clash of Purple, female NPCs will no longer initiate cunnilingus from a makeout if they have the PREFERS_SEX trait.
Reduced the chance of female NPCs initiating cunnilingus, unless they have the LIKES_ORAL trait in which case it's as high or higher than it was before.
The PC can confess cheating to her lesbian partner during a date at home.
A partner in an open relationship can ask to sleep with another guest at the house party. This applies to any character types, though innocent women may sometimes fail if they aren't beautiful.
Improved the logic around whether a condom is used when your house-party guests sleep together 'off-screen'.
An impregnator man now has a small chance of sabotaging the other house-party guest's contraception if she's on the pill.
Updated the M/F cheating confrontation scene to handle cohabiting better.
Changes for user-submitted content:
Following a reminder by Stochastic, moved the hasDoneSexualActivity, hasDoneCheatingActivity, getCheatedWith, getCheatingSeverity and clearCheating methods from MaleNpc objects to the general NPC one.
Bugfixes:
Fixes to some text issues. Thanks to AnarChYsT who reporting some of these.
Fixed a bug with willpower that could lead to excessively large willpower penalties if the PC had had multiple orgasms.
Fixed a bug reported by Zab where the “return to makeout” action was not appearing in the lesbian cunnilingus scene.
Fixed some logic issues around the cheating-confrontation event triggers.
Fixed an issue reported by Fhish where you could cook breakfast for a lesbian date even after she'd already made food for you.
Fixed an issue reported by AnarChYsT where the mugging scene had the PC feel guilty about cheating, even when she knows her bf likes her hooking up with other people.

This release adds a new lesbian sex scene.
Major changes & additions:
New lesbian sex scene where you go down on your partner. This can be accessed from lesbian makeouts and from some office-rival scenes.
Minor changes:
Updated lesbian makeout orgasm tracking to work across sub-scenes.
Added a new lesbian makeout action that you can take if your partner is visibly pregnant.
Following a request by JulianR.Amazing, added a skip-ahead option to lesbian makeouts.
Changes for user-submitted content:

Fixed an issue reported by Luna where the “getting dressed again” text after sex could be awkwardly phrased for some clothing combinations.
Fixed a bug reported by Secondarian where the PC could not fall in love with a female NPC.
Fixed a bug reported by Kabasny affecting the scene where you tell people that you have a partner. Doing so will now greatly reduce the chance of those NPCs asking you out and your relationship status will go from “dating” to “acquaintance”.
Fixed a bug reported by A Clash of Purple where you could incorrectly get the cold-behaviour text when saying goodbye to a lesbian date even when you had a different behaviour.
Fixed an issue reported by A Clash of Purple where your girlfriend could ask to take a man home after a house party.

Newlife 0.7.11 has been released.
Early-access Patrons can find it in the creations section here. The changelog is below.

This
release adds npc-dominant strap-on sex, a scene that won a recent vote for lesbian sex content over on patreon.
Major changes & additions:
Added a new sex scene where a lesbian partner penetrates you with a strap-on. This can be initiated from a lying makeout when both you and your partner have bared lower bodies. The PC can initiate it if she's bought a strapon via the shopping interface and the NPC can do so if she owns one (which is based on character type, virginity and a random element).
Minor changes:
Updated the save-name change from 0.7.8. Now the default name will be used only if it's the first time saving a particular game OR if the previous save used the default name format. If you chose a filename yourself then it'll be saved as the default for that game.
Bugfixes:
Fixes to text issues. Thanks to Kitsune and Bill Nye for reporting some of these.
Fixed a problem reported by Saint Destiny and Mister B where the raceData file wasn't loading in Linux.

This release adds the standing lesbian makeout. Sometimes a short changelog just means the main headline change for a release was very big. I've been quite distracted over the last month by some ongoing health issues though so I'm afraid this time it's just a bit of a light release.
Major changes & additions:
Added a lesbian standing makeout. This can be accessed by showering together in the morning as long as you didn't makeout in bed upon waking up, or in the lesbian nightclub when you're with a party-girl npc.
Minor changes:
Increased the default number of standard female NPCs from 4 to 6. This can be modified in settings with the “additional female NPCs” option, which can be negative if you want fewer. The minimum is unchanged at 3.
Added a kiss-body makeout action where your partner kisses your bare back which can happen when they're behind you. While this was mainly added for the new makeout scene, there is a male version as well.
Bugfixes:
Fixes to text issues. Thanks to StuntCuffer and Sync for reporting some of these.
Fixed a bug reported by StuntCuffer where the cheating-blackmail scene could error due to a bad method call.

This release adds some more content to lesbian dates as well as a race/name rework.
This last part has 2 consequences: first, NPC names will now be related to their race. Secondly, all the race stuff has been move to an external file raceData.json that you can modify in a text editor to customise your games.
Major changes & additions:
Rewrote race/name handling. This has two main impacts: first, names are now related to a character's race and secondly this is now read from an external file (raceData.json, in the main Newlife folder) which can be changed by players.
Added sleep-together and next-morning scenes for lesbian dates.
Minor changes:
Increased the weight for the event where you're given the choice of asking out the office hunk.
It's now possible to change into a sexy-nightwear outfit early on in a home-date. Changing to regular nightwear still only unlocks later, but the sexy outfit isn't being worn to sleep...
Following a suggestion over PM on patreon, save files now have a default name.
Changes for user-submitted content:
Added nameListId to custom NPC files of both types. This is used to pick their name if it isn't set, and is also used if they end up naming one of the PC's children in-game.
Updated the documentation so that the LIKES_OLDER trait is no longer incorrectly listed as LIKES_OLDER_MEN. Thanks to Stochastic for reporting this.
Bugfixes:
Fixes to text issues. Thanks to Zab, Sync, Rafflesia and Zoffer for reporting some of these.
Fixed an issue reported by Kitsune where swapping numbers with another woman could tell the PC that future dating was not implemented, even though it now is.
Fixed an issue reported by sync where the “feel her bum” action wasn't properly handling some clothing possibilities.
Fixed an issue where the cooking scene would error if you were rude to the instructor. Thanks to Toastee for reporting this and DoctaSax for pinpointing the problem.
Fixed an error with assigning the lesbian virgin state when creating some female npcs.
Fixed a line in the next morning scene that hadn't been updated to reflect the PC being able to have hair that isn't long.
