Version 0.3.11 of Newlife is finished and I've released it on Patreon. Early-access Patrons can find it in the creations section here. The changelog is below.
That also means that the 0.3.10 release has been made public. I've updated the links here on the blog, so you can download it now from here. The 0.3.10 changelog is here.
As usual, saved files & templates from older versions probably won't work with newer ones.
For new players - just use one of the links to the right to get either the jar or the exe version. You only need one or the other - not both. I recommend trying the jar first.
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.
0.3.11 adds custom npc creation, which means you can define your own npcs to appear in the game. There's a new section in the in-game help with instructions, and you can also look here.
Edit: 0.3.11 has a bug where blank race fields are being treated as custom ones. This means that you can only leave skin, hair or eye colour blank if you've specified a default race (e.g. "black", "white" etc). This will be fixed in the next version, but for now the workaround is to make sure to populate either the race (with a default value) or all three of skin, eye & hair colours.
Here's the full changelog:
- Fixes to text issues. Thanks to John, Cubano, Centerflag, Plundernoob & Death25 for reporting problems they found.
- Fixed an issue with the striptease action reported by death25. This will now be available as long as your character isn't completely naked.
- Fixed npc descriptions to use “an” where their race string starts with a vowel.
- Fixed an issue reported on Patreon where the second impregnator friend event can lead to an odd sex scene with the player's legs open even though she has shorts or jeans around her thighs.
- Fixed a bug with assigning the BAD_DANCER trait to npcs. This should now be much more common among normal npcs (although still rare), and GOOD_DANCER should be a bit rarer.
- Fixed another situation where impregnators would be shocked to discover that they'd successfully impregnated the pc.
- Men will sometimes be more willing to stay the night if they haven't already had sex with you that evening.
- Added a rare alternative description for “move your hips” during the missionary scene. The conditions for this are very specific, so most characters won't see it.
- Added a new “rough” male orgasm to the missionary scene.
- Added a new trait for npcs, an equivalent to the player's Clever Hands one. It has a fairly limited effect in game – mostly it just modifies certain makeout actions.
- Custom npcs can now be added to the game
- Added a new cheat option, as requested in a comment on Patreon.
- Slightly reduced the chance of men initiating oral, as this was happening a bit too much in testing.
- One new random event.
Enjoy the new version, and let me know if you find any bugs!
