Newlife 0.8.9
🕑 Added 2024-09-09 02:55:47 +0000 UTCHello everyone! Here's Newlife 0.8.9, with a bunch of content for the silver-spoon landlord when he's the landlord for the starting home. Most of the new things here will not appear if you get the sleazy one as your starting landlord instead (50/50 chance if you aren't using custom NPCs), but you can always just run the first week and restart if you get the sleazy one - the sleazy landlord is the one who lets his eyes rove over your body when he first meets you.
I hope you've had a great weekend - enjoy the new version and please let me know if you find any bugs!
Changelog:
Major changes & additions:
The silver-spoon landlord can now be the starting landlord. Unless overridden by the player using custom characters the two landlords will now each be assigned a single neighborhood. It is possible for one landlord to be in charge of both, but only by using a custom character as I felt it was more interesting for both landlords to be guaranteed to appear in the game by default.
Added a new event chain for the silver spoon landlord that can trigger if he's your landlord at the cheap home you begin the game in. This has 4 scenes but the events branch based on the pc's choices so not all scenes will necessarily happen in a given game. These events cannot happen in games where the sleazy landlord is the one for your starting property: you can force a particular landlord using custom NPCs, or by just restarting the game until you get the one you want – which landlord you have should be clear quite early-on.
Minor changes:
Male NPC traits that increase pregnancy chances now have a reduced effect on “safe” weeks.
Updated the initial landlord introduction at your first home to handle the possibility of a silver-spoon landlord.
Some improvements to the initial landlord encounter.
Tidied up some of the text for the “date leaves after refusing to sleep over” date section.
Changes for user-submitted content:
PLEASANT_HOME_LANDLORD can now be added to custom silver-spoon landlords to guarantee they'll be the landlord for the associated neighbourhood.
Added CHEAP_HOME_LANDLORD as a trait that can be added to custom characters. Both these neighbourhood traits are only relevant for characters with a landlord trait and will automatically be removed during game setup if added to any other characters.
Updated custom landlords to support each of them being able to be the landlord for either or both of the neighbourhoods.
Bugfixes:
Fixes to text issues. Thanks to StuntCuffer for reporting some of these.
Fixed a bug reported by Birb, F'roOTi and Mazin where the date scene could error at the end if you ask him to sleep over and he refuses.
Fixed a problem where the late-rent scene could have a null action, though I'm not sure if this was actually in the last version or if it was a bug introduced in development for the latest release.

Just for confirmation, are we now on a 3 month cycle for updates or information or is it going to be longer?
