Newlife 0.7.13

 

Hello everyone!

 
Newlife 0.7.13 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 saves should be compatible across versions this time, though 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 release adds support for cheating in lesbian relationships.

Major changes & additions:

• The PC can now confess or get confronted for cheating on a lesbian partner. A key difference is that a lesbian partner with the likes-to-share trait will suggest they have an open relationship where both can sleep with other people. This ties into a number of other changes in this (and future) releases.

• Added an alternative route to the impregnator-friend breeding event chain for when his target is the pc's girlfriend.

Minor changes:

• Following some feedback from A Clash of Purple, female NPCs will no longer initiate cunnilingus from a makeout if they have the PREFERS_SEX trait.

• Reduced the chance of female NPCs initiating cunnilingus, unless they have the LIKES_ORAL trait in which case it's as high or higher than it was before.

• The PC can confess cheating to her lesbian partner during a date at home.

• A partner in an open relationship can ask to sleep with another guest at the house party. This applies to any character types, though innocent women may sometimes fail if they aren't beautiful.

• Improved the logic around whether a condom is used when your house-party guests sleep together 'off-screen'.

• An impregnator man now has a small chance of sabotaging the other house-party guest's contraception if she's on the pill.

• Updated the M/F cheating confrontation scene to handle cohabiting better.

Changes for user-submitted content:

• Following a reminder by Stochastic, moved the hasDoneSexualActivity, hasDoneCheatingActivity, getCheatedWith, getCheatingSeverity and clearCheating methods from MaleNpc objects to the general NPC one.

Bugfixes:

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

• Fixed a bug with willpower that could lead to excessively large willpower penalties if the PC had had multiple orgasms.

• Fixed a bug reported by Zab where the “return to makeout” action was not appearing in the lesbian cunnilingus scene.

• Fixed some logic issues around the cheating-confrontation event triggers.

• Fixed an issue reported by Fhish where you could cook breakfast for a lesbian date even after she'd already made food for you.

• Fixed an issue reported by AnarChYsT where the mugging scene had the PC feel guilty about cheating, even when she knows her bf likes her hooking up with other people.

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

This release adds a new lesbian sex scene.

Major changes & additions:

• New lesbian sex scene where you go down on your partner. This can be accessed from lesbian makeouts and from some office-rival scenes.

Minor changes:

• Updated lesbian makeout orgasm tracking to work across sub-scenes.

• Added a new lesbian makeout action that you can take if your partner is visibly pregnant.

• Following a request by JulianR.Amazing, added a skip-ahead option to lesbian makeouts.

Changes for user-submitted content:

• LESBIAN_STANDING_MAKEOUT is now an allowable transition for custom scenes. See documentation for details.

• LESBIAN_GIVING_CUNNILINGUS is now an allowable transition for custom scenes. See documentation for details.

Bugfixes:

• Fixes to some text issues. Thanks to anyone who reported any of these.

• Fixed an issue reported by tryingthegames where male-specific text was being shown for a female partner when giving birth.

• Fixed an issue reported by Luna where the “getting dressed again” text after sex could be awkwardly phrased for some clothing combinations.

• Fixed a bug reported by Secondarian where the PC could not fall in love with a female NPC.

• Fixed a bug reported by Kabasny affecting the scene where you tell people that you have a partner. Doing so will now greatly reduce the chance of those NPCs asking you out and your relationship status will go from “dating” to “acquaintance”.

• Fixed a bug reported by A Clash of Purple where you could incorrectly get the cold-behaviour text when saying goodbye to a lesbian date even when you had a different behaviour.

• Fixed an issue reported by A Clash of Purple where your girlfriend could ask to take a man home after a house party.

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

Newlife 0.7.11

 

 

Hello everyone!

 
Newlife 0.7.11 has been released. Early-access Patrons can find it in the creations section here. The changelog is below.

Due to the delays in bringing out this release, I've paused my Patreon campaign for a month, which means patrons won't be charged on June 1st.

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'm not sure if saves will be compatible - quite possibly not.

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.

This release adds the ability to have a girlfriend

Major changes & additions:

• The PC can now fall in love with other women.

• Added some new crush-dreams for lesbian crushes.

• You can now get into a relationship with another woman.

• Updated some events to work with lesbian partners; other relationship events still require a male partner.

Minor changes:

• Added a new lesbian caressaction for GROPE.

• Added some possible extra lines when a man approaches you in the club.

• Loosened the femininity restriction on the male-start-specific crush dream to make it easier to trigger.

Changes for user-submitted content:

• The $gf object is now populated (when appropriate) in MiniEvent.

Bugfixes:

• Fixes to some text issues. Thanks to anyone who reported any of these – I'm afraid I neglected to note down any names this time.

• Fixed a bug reported by AnarChYsT where a text section in the hypno scene wasn't being shown.

• Fixed a bug where the office hunk could ask to go back to your flat after a party if your partner was living with you, rather than the other way around.

• Fixed a bug that could make lesbian dates skip the goodbye actions.

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

This release adds npc-dominant strap-on sex, a scene that won a recent vote for lesbian sex content over on patreon.

Major changes & additions:

• Added a new sex scene where a lesbian partner penetrates you with a strap-on. This can be initiated from a lying makeout when both you and your partner have bared lower bodies. The PC can initiate it if she's bought a strapon via the shopping interface and the NPC can do so if she owns one (which is based on character type, virginity and a random element).

Minor changes:

• Updated the save-name change from 0.7.8. Now the default name will be used only if it's the first time saving a particular game OR if the previous save used the default name format. If you chose a filename yourself then it'll be saved as the default for that game.

Bugfixes:

• Fixes to text issues. Thanks to Kitsune and Bill Nye for reporting some of these.

• Fixed a problem reported by Saint Destiny and Mister B where the raceData file wasn't loading in Linux.

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

This release adds the standing lesbian makeout. Sometimes a short changelog just means the main headline change for a release was very big. I've been quite distracted over the last month by some ongoing health issues though so I'm afraid this time it's just a bit of a light release.

Major changes & additions:

• Added a lesbian standing makeout. This can be accessed by showering together in the morning as long as you didn't makeout in bed upon waking up, or in the lesbian nightclub when you're with a party-girl npc.

Minor changes:

• Increased the default number of standard female NPCs from 4 to 6. This can be modified in settings with the “additional female NPCs” option, which can be negative if you want fewer. The minimum is unchanged at 3.

• Added a kiss-body makeout action where your partner kisses your bare back which can happen when they're behind you. While this was mainly added for the new makeout scene, there is a male version as well.

Bugfixes:

• Fixes to text issues. Thanks to StuntCuffer and Sync for reporting some of these.

• Fixed a bug reported by StuntCuffer where the cheating-blackmail scene could error due to a bad method call.

   

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

This release adds some more content to lesbian dates as well as a race/name rework.

This last part has 2 consequences: first, NPC names will now be related to their race. Secondly, all the race stuff has been move to an external file raceData.json that you can modify in a text editor to customise your games.

 

Major changes & additions:

• Rewrote race/name handling. This has two main impacts: first, names are now related to a character's race and secondly this is now read from an external file (raceData.json, in the main Newlife folder) which can be changed by players.

• Added sleep-together and next-morning scenes for lesbian dates.

Minor changes:

• Increased the weight for the event where you're given the choice of asking out the office hunk.

• It's now possible to change into a sexy-nightwear outfit early on in a home-date. Changing to regular nightwear still only unlocks later, but the sexy outfit isn't being worn to sleep...

• Following a suggestion over PM on patreon, save files now have a default name.

Changes for user-submitted content:

• Added nameListId to custom NPC files of both types. This is used to pick their name if it isn't set, and is also used if they end up naming one of the PC's children in-game.

• Updated the documentation so that the LIKES_OLDER trait is no longer incorrectly listed as LIKES_OLDER_MEN. Thanks to Stochastic for reporting this.

Bugfixes:

• Fixes to text issues. Thanks to Zab, Sync, Rafflesia and Zoffer for reporting some of these.

• Fixed an issue reported by Kitsune where swapping numbers with another woman could tell the PC that future dating was not implemented, even though it now is.

• Fixed an issue reported by sync where the “feel her bum” action wasn't properly handling some clothing possibilities.

• Fixed an issue where the cooking scene would error if you were rude to the instructor. Thanks to Toastee for reporting this and DoctaSax for pinpointing the problem.

• Fixed an error with assigning the lesbian virgin state when creating some female npcs.

• Fixed a line in the next morning scene that hadn't been updated to reflect the PC being able to have hair that isn't long.

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

Newlife 0.7.7

Hello everyone and happy new year!

 
Newlife 0.7.7 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.

Due to some forgetfulness on my part I don't have a public build of 0.7.6 to hand. Instead I'm putting the patreon one out there. This is mostly the same, except that you'll get a different start-screen message and some extra cheat options.

I think that old saves will probably be compatible with this version, but I haven't tested it so I can't say for sure.

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 adds hypnosis content that was chosen by patrons as this year's "Prove Me Wrong" release.

The bugfix section of the changelog may be incomplete as I don't have all my notes from early in the month.

 

Major changes & additions:

• Added hypnosis scenes, in yml/vm format.

Minor changes:

• Various minor updates to sex scenes to support sex under hypnosis.

Changes for user-submitted content:

• Added isLesbianVirgin to player object in custom scenes.

• Added setStat method to gamedata object

• Added getAgeDesc method to NPC objects

• Added setOnPill method to player object

• GOOD_HYPNOTIST and EVIL_HYPNOTIST traits can be added to custom NPCs: these are the special NPCs used in the new scenes.
  

• Short and long action descriptions are now generated when an action is shown to the player instead of just once at the start of the scene. This means that variables which change mid-scene (such as arousal) can now be used in these sections.

Bugfixes:

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

• Fixed an issue reported by Sync where the lesbian town date could choose the wrong route when the PC takes the lead.

• Fixed a bug where the PC is fantasizing about having sex with a different men but her fantasy was incorrectly using the body-type of the man she was actually being fucked by.

• ixed an omission reported by Albert44 where office-party sex with your rival was not increasing the "oral pleasure" stat.

• Fixed a bug where the value for "small" enjoy modifiers was only half what it should have been.

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