Newlife 0.,8.14

 

Hello everyone!

So, Newlife 0.8.14 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.

Saves from old versions will probably still work in this one, but I haven't tested this and can't make any promises.

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 update was originally going to be an NPC wealth update, but I couldn't come up with good, fun, enjoyable changes so I ended up mostly just adding to the sex scenes.

Major changes & additions:

• Some updates to make NPC wealth more impactful.

• Improvements to various sex scenes, mainly based around adding alternative text for various actions, especially repeated actions:

• Cowgirl: more variety to NPC speech action, NPC compliment action, NPC breast groping. Improvements to text for “keep riding him”, tender kiss, self breast-caress. Added childfree text for failed withdrawal.

• Male-dominant sex scenes: more variety to NPC caress breasts action, some more lines to sex-talk, more variety to sex-description lines, improvements to the rough breast-groping NPC action, more variety to initial-entry text.

• Sex from behind: more variety for move-hips text.

• Doggy: variety for repeated self breasts-groping.

Minor changes:

• Added variety when repeating the oral “caress his balls” action.

• Some tweaks/improvements to the text for the NPC sexual compliments.

• Added a new action requested by Birb where you can ask a man to keep your underwear on during a makeout.

• Updated friend effects to check NPC wealth, with some friend effects switching to alternative versions at high/low income levels.

• Internal rework of how friend/partner effects are set to support the richer/poorer change.

• New friendship event for rich friends.

• Anal sex: text variety for repeated use of the “push against him” action.

• Anal sex: text variety for repeated use of the “touch yourself” action.

• Updated the request condom action in both sex and makeout scenes to have more relevant text when the “always refuse pullout requests” status is on.

Changes for user-submitted content:

• Added a “SEX_WORK” scene flag that is set when the PC is being paid for sex and affects text in some MO/sex actions.

• Updated the prostitution yml/vm files to use SEX_WORK, SEX_WORK_PIV and SEX_WORK_ANAL flags.

Bugfixes:

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

• Fixed a bug with the NPC “caress breasts” sex action where the effects on arousal etc were being calculated incorrectly.

• Fixed an issue reported by Alpha where the start of unprotected sex could sometimes show childfree pregnancy-fear content (and arousal/enjoy effects) even when the PC is already pregnant.

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