Hello everyone!
Newlife 0.7.8 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.
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 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.
