...Thanks :) Good to hear you're enjoying it :)<br /><br />- The end will always be at 52 weeks, although patrons have a cheat option to change it. However, there will eventually be the option to play on indefinitely after the endgame sequence, as long as the character doesn't go back to their old life.<br /><br />- There won't ever be male gameplay. That would mean rewriting almost everything in the entire game, so if I wanted to make male-perspective content then I'd be better off just making it a completely new game.<br /><br />- Depending on traits etc you can initiate sex at home (choose "ask him to bed" or "ask to be kissed"). If you have a boyfriend then you can always spend time with him in the evenings, without having to wait for him to ask you on a date.<br /><br />- Yes, there'll be more careers, along with various special/unique scenes.<br /><br />- You mean, nightlife? I think one of the planned big updates was going to be based on this.<br /><br />- Clothes, yes. Hair colours are easy to add - if you want new ones then just suggest them along with the races they'd be common for. Hair dye may get added at some point for those of you who want green/blue/pink etc, and you can use the custom hair colour option for that too.<br />Haircuts will probably go in at some point, although I'm not sure exactly when. Maybe with the femininity update, so that the player can choose to get a man's haircut if they're resisting the change.Splendid Ostrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269228771363667548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402139144450897998.post-78064948966581203852015-07-07T16:13:52.450+01:002015-07-07T16:13:52.450+01:00The complexity of a scene increases dramatically w...The complexity of a scene increases dramatically with the number of participants, so this isn't very likely except perhaps in a very restricted senseSplendid Ostrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269228771363667548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402139144450897998.post-42903172494728535062015-07-04T15:58:48.397+01:002015-07-04T15:58:48.397+01:00First of all let me tell you that this is the best...First of all let me tell you that this is the best text game I found so far.<br /><br />I would like to ask if there is a plan of:<br /><br />*Play endlessly as male/female (no limit at weeks)<br />*Play as male without gender change.<br />*Get more sexual content (Like give him bj, tj, fuck him/her whenever you want, not when he/she wants)<br />*More jobs with co-workers (with more sexual content, such as skip work and fuck)<br />*More options when having fun.<br />*More clothes, haircuts, colors etc.<br /><br />I hope the best and I will check every update u do. Keep up the good work!<br /><br />P.S. Sorry for my bad english, I would like to help you with ideas, cause I got no money atm to help you with. If you want, reply.

Something like the player dissappearing into the club bathroom enough times so that the next time the option comes up the text is replaced with a line about how you've earned a reputation among the other club goers. Stuff like that could be dropped into limited scenarios rather than be another trait to keep track of for every scene.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402139144450897998.post-13585579775923381602015-07-01T17:28:34.550+01:002015-07-01T17:28:34.550+01:00Yes, but it'll be a bit different from the cur...Yes, but it'll be a bit different from the current cheat option.<br />The end game will always be at 52 weeks, with the cheat allowing that to be changed so patrons can get an easier or harder experience.

It isn't one of my preferences, and there are some big reasons not to:<br /><br />- With your kids, even if they've been magically aged, it looks a bit too much like underage content. Although I keep my adult-game-dev identity separate from my real-life one, I do like to think I can avoid taboo content enough that it wouldn't be social suicide if I had to admit to my friends & family that I make Newlife.<br /><br />- The PC's other family won't make any appearance in game. In fact, that's one of the main reasons why the intro starts with "everything's been rubbish over the last few years". The pc is supposed to be the player in the near future, and by specifying that you've lost contact with your friends & family it means I don't need to code for the massive range of possible life situations the player might be in.Splendid Ostrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269228771363667548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402139144450897998.post-18644757997567057322015-07-01T17:20:20.083+01:002015-07-01T17:20:20.083+01:00Yeah, I've been planning to do an FAQ for a wh...Yeah, I've been planning to do an FAQ for a while now, and just keep on not getting round to it.<br />I like the idea of mods, but the game simply wasn't written to support that sort of thing. I'll have a think about it late in development when there aren't any more planned changes to the game mechanics. However, it may turn out to be unrealistic.<br />I do sometimes think about other games I might make when Newlife's finished, and if I decide to make one then it'll be designed to support modding.Splendid Ostrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269228771363667548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402139144450897998.post-55678612293656564942015-07-01T17:17:32.902+01:002015-07-01T17:17:32.902+01:00haha, I have enough trouble just managing the rela...haha, I have enough trouble just managing the relationship system!
