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.
