Newlife 0.7.19

Hello everyone!

 
Those of you who follow my public patreon posts will have seen that I'd been stricken with a nasty cold. I've thankfully now recovered enough at least to get out the next version of the game. 

Newlife 0.7.19 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.

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 allows your lesbian partner to propose marriage. Due to my sickness I didn't end up dedicating much time to smaller changes, but I did manage to get a few in.


Major changes & additions:

  • Your girlfriend can now propose to you, if conditions are right. There are three possible proposal scenes, with varying requirements. Actual lesbian marriage is not in the game yet so getting engaged is as far as you can go for now.

  • Updated the minievent content with a new version submitted by Lost Trout with new events that can fire when a friend asks to see your wedding dress. This is only available for straight engagements – in any case, lesbian engagements can't lead to buying a wedding dress yet.

Minor changes:

  • One new male orgasm text possibility for the missionary position, though it has some fairly specific requirements.

  • Female NPCs will now actually name their babies. They'll use their own namelist for this.

  • Added a romantic speech action to the PC-dominant strapon sex scene.

Changes for user-submitted content:

  • Fixed a formatting issue that meant the pronoun-getters weren't showing up in the documentation's table-of-contents. Thanks to Lost Trout for reporting this.

Bugfixes:

  • Fixes to some text issues. Thanks to Keenam for reporting some of these.

 

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