Hello everyone!
Newlife 0.8.3 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.
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 various new content as well as first part of NPC careers.
Major changes & additions:
Added internal functionality for NPC careers, with their job being visible at a sufficient knowledge level.
Added a new scene with a sleazy landlord and your lesbian partner that can happen if you're unable to pay the rent.
Added a new friendship scene that can happen if you have an innocent female friend and also own the enormous teddy-bear, Mr. Snuggles.
Changes for user-submitted content:
Custom NPCs can now have their career set. NPCs without a set career will have one picked by the usual algorithm, just like with most other values.
Minor changes:
The amount you get from having your partner support you now varies based on their income.
Improved some of the spacing for descriptions in the NPC broswer.
Bugfixes:
Fixed some text issues. Thanks to Zab for reporting some of these.
Fixed an issue where some pregnancy text could incorrectly show at the office party even when the PC is not pregnant.
Fixed an issue reported by Sync where the bar-with-friend scene was sometimes referring to the PC's lesbian partner as a man.
Fixed an issue reported by Zab where the text in the bf's jerk friend ladder sex scene was often referencing the wrong relationship, resulting in your partner being referred to as “your acquaintance”.
