Newlife 0.7.21

 Hello everyone!

Newlife 0.7.21 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 adds lesbian wedding and wedding-night scenes, allowing you to get married.


Major changes & additions:

  • You can now marry another woman

  • Naked wedding is an option when shopping for a wedding dress in a lesbian relationship. This can be initiated by a PC with the sultry trait, or an NPC with the party-girl character type.

Minor changes:

  • Updated the scene where you meet the innocent sales colleague on a bus after she quits to properly handle the situation where you and her have become a couple. Thanks to A Clash of Purple for reporting this!

  • Increased the knowledge gain about your partner when getting married.

  • A few adjustments to the lesbian makeout scene to reflect wedding-night content, though doubtless there'll be more that can be done there.

  • Added variant text for the scene where you tell other partners that you're in a relationship to better handle low PC love. Thanks to bicobus for highlighting some issues with the Aromantic trait.

  • Added updated versions of the minievent bike and bike-left-behind scenes submitted by GrimGear.

  • Added a doormat alternative reaction for when a baby-crazy PC yells at her partner for not reacting well to being told she's pregnant.

Bugfixes:

  • Fixed some text issues. Thanks to nameless, AnarChYsT and Sync for reporting some of these.

  • Fixed an oversight where the PC would not always get a knowledge increase towards her husband when getting married.

 

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