Newlife 0.8.0

Hello everyone!

Newlife 0.8.0 has been released, the final release of the lesbian updates. This doesn't mean a complete end to lesbian content, but it won't be the focus for the upcoming releases. Next, homes and money.

Early-access Patrons can find the new version 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 more couple events and allows for post-endgame play, but only if appropriate choices are made at the end.

Newlife 0.8.0


Major changes & additions:

  • You can now keep playing after the endgame so long as you choose to stay in the city during the endgame scene. Endgame choices that involve you leaving the city or otherwise dramatically changing your circumstances will stop this option from appearing.

  • Added a new event for low-self-esteem characters with a sophisticated wife that don't have the skillful-tongue trait.

  • Added a small event for pregnant women that are married to a caring husband.

Minor changes:

  • Improved some of the text around being approached by men in the nightclub.

  • Added an alternative piece of text for doggy-style NPC orgasms.

  • You can now let the npc decide what you'll have when she gets you a drink at the lesbian club, as requested by BereavedPoet.

Changes for user-submitted content:

  • The removeTrait method will now also remove any temporary trait effects that add the trait in question.

  • Added a new 'baby' object representing the PC or a female NPC's children.

  • Added methods to the PC and female NPC objects to return collection of baby objects – this collection may be empty but will not be null. Due to some last-minute bugs elsewhere the custom-scene 'baby' content hasn't been tested. Please let me know if you find any bugs.

Bugfixes:

  • Fixed some text issues. Thanks to iLurk for reporting some of these.

  • Fixed an issue reported by iLurk where the game was assuming there's just one prostitution client and didn't have text to handle the PC having been a prostitute before but not with the particular NPC in the scene.

  • Fixed a bug where NPC babies were not aging.

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