Newlife 0.6.11

 Hello everyone!

 
Newlife 0.6.11 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. The public version's 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 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 version improves the PC's interactions with the office rival, giving the player opportunities to get the upper hand. 

I sitll have more ideas for the rival, but she has a lot of content now so I don't know if people want more or they'd rather I move onto other things. For the next release at least I'll be working on a more general office event where the rival may feature but she won't be the central focus.

 

Major changes & additions:

  • Added a new scene that allows the PC to plot revenge on her office rival.

  • Added a new scene where a seductive office rival attempts to further her career in a way the PC may be able to exploit.

  • Added a short new scene where the office rival can disrupt office-politics.

Minor changes:

  • The spitroast scene will no longer do NPC actions on turns where one of the men is having an orgasm.

  • Improved spacing for spitroast orgasm actions.

  • Lowlives can now start a threesome during the innocent-befriending route.

  • Updated the “Freeze in panic” path with the lowlives to potentially lead to sex depending on the PC's traits.

  • Following a suggestion by Brobort, the threesome-request action is now moved to the “important talk” section if the PC hasn't previously had a threesome with that particular man.

  • The text when transitioning to a threesome at home now varies on style, with humiliating, using and rough getting alternative descriptions.

  • Added some pregnancy musings in some situations when the husband caresses the PC's breasts during a wedding-consummation. This was based on a suggestion from Saur.

  • Following a PM on patreon, relaxed the conditions to accidentally walk into the men's changing room at the gym. The request was to add a new trait to enable it for female-start characters, but instead I've decided to unlock it for any forgetful character who is not also perceptive. Non-forgetful gender-bent characters can still access the scene at low femininity, although perceptive will still prevent them from making the mistake.

  • Reworked how the party-girl-impregnation-dare contest worked as the logic had some major issues. The player will now usually win if she challenges the party-girl to one of the more daring dares as soon as possible. Cunning removes the small chance of failure in this situation. However, a player who dawdles by challenging multiple less-intense dares will lose the contest regardless of traits.

  • Made some small rewrites of the party-girl befriending intro so that she isn't described as hungover when pregnant. Thanks to JJRider for reporting this.

Changes for user-submitted content:

  • Updated the Velocity config to allow macros to replace currently-defined ones.

Bugfixes:

  • Fixes to text issues. Thanks to Sync, Hubswing, AnarChYsT, Wakisha and dotSEA for reporting some of these.

  • Fixed a bug reported by Vandana.Ghost where your boyfriend could consider it cheating for you to have sex with another man during a threesome that he took part in.

  • Fixed a bug where the action to request a threesome wasn't checking for the partner having had an orgasm already.

  • Fixed a bug reported by Lashon Tov where your date could invite a copy of himself over to have a threesome with you.

  • Fixed a bug reported by JJRider where the game wasn't checking for NPC pregnancy when deciding whether the woman you catch your partner cheating with is drunk.

  • Fixed an issue reported by Elseone where talking to the cooking instructor was not updating relationship levels.



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

Newlife 0.6.10

 

Happy New Year everyone!

 
Newlife 0.6.10 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. The public version's changelog is here.

This is the PMW release that adds a threesome scene. It's been a challenging one for me, but I hope you find it satisfying. Or, at least that the men double-teaming you find it satisfying.

Major changes & additions:

  • Added a threesome scene that can be accessed from dates at home or when meeting horse and his friend at the gym.

Minor changes:

  • Added a new character-creation option suggested by “Just a Quickie”: Max Friends. This is found in the customisation section and allows you to have the maximum number of friends (3) regardless of your traits. I may revisit friend limits later on with a more in-depth approach that'll require some UI updates, but this should give players a bit more flexibility in the meantime.

Changes for user-submitted content:

  • Custom scenes can transition to the new threesome scene: see the yml syntax guide for details.

Bugfixes:

  • Fixes to text issues. Thanks to Saur, Sci, Leekspinning, AnarChYsT and TaeTae for reporting some of these.

  • Updated some text in the makeout scene to better handle some clothing situations, following a bug report by Sci.

  • Added a new section to the party-girl-charm-training section of the relevant scene for when both characters are pregnant. Thanks to jjrider for pointing out this omission.



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