Newlife 0.7.5

 Hello everyone!

 
Newlife 0.7.5 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.

I think that this version will be compatible with saves from the previous version, but I haven't tested it so I may be mistaken.

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 focuses on improvements to existing scenes, primarily the lesbian ones but there's also a few things there for MF content.

 

Major changes & additions:

• Added a nightclub-dancing sub-scene for the lesbian club.

Minor changes:

• Improved the checks in the “hit your partner while dancing because you're drunk” section in the MF club dancing scene to use behaviour instead of simple trait checks.

• Added some variations to the text when giving birth to children after the first.

• Added self-undressing actions to the FF makeout.

• Updated the “lick cock” action in the oral scene to have a bit more variety. Specifically there are now 8 possible pieces of text instead of just 1, but most of the new ones have conditions so you won't see them all in one encounter.

• Added some more breast-touching lines to the lesbian NPC makeout action.

• Added a short alternative piece of male-internal-orgasm text to the couch sex scene that doesn't have any special conditions, just to give a little more variety when none of the more specific passages are available.

• The standing-front sex position now allows the PC to wrap one of her legs around her lover's waist. This requires some fitness (10, so toned characters can do it from the start) and is not available if the PC isn't at least somewhat turned on or if she's heavily pregnant. This sub-position increases the risk that an attempt to pull out will fail.

• Added “boring documentary” to the possible films you can watch on a lesbian date at home. This one may bore your date into seeking a distraction. For example, a distraction that takes place in the bedroom.

• The PC's behaviour towards her date is now stored when transitioning from town to home dates, so you won't be prompted to pick one when arriving at your home.

• Added some more options for the female NPC's kiss makeout action.

• Added some more text variety to the standing-sex “move hips” action.

• Female NPCs with the magic fingers trait can now give you a backrub when they're at your home.

• Renamed the “Business Management” skill to just “Management” so it should fit better into the UI.

• Following some comments on discord (from Stochastic, IIRC) about the head-shaving event being too common it now has its weight significantly reduced if it has already happened in that game.

• Added a “man-bun” hairstyle as requested by Bolana, along with a few lines for it in the “Grab his head” action in the cunnilingus scene.

Changes for user-submitted content:

• addSexualActivity has been moved to the main NPC class, meaning it is now available for female NPCs. Note that ANAL is not a valid argument for female NPCs and will cause an error if set as the parameter. (TODO – credit requester over PM on disc?)

• Use addSexualActivity with the SEX activity to cause the PC to lose her virginity. This will automatically pick either lesbian or straight virginity, depending on which type of NPC you called the method on.

• the various testWill methods that were previously in the male NPC object have been moved to the NPC one which now makes them available for female NPCs. Use these when willpower checks are being caused by an NPC. The methods on the PC object are unchanged.

• Added the sleazy office workers to the special NPCs that can be replaced with custom ones, as requested by Sight.

Bugfixes:

• Fixes to text issues. Thanks to Stochastic for reporting some of these.

• Fixed a bug reported by Jjrider where having your partner impregnate a female friend off-screen did not update her virginity status.

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