Newlife 0.8.6
🕑 Added 2024-02-20 12:04:46 +0000 UTCHi all! I've been struggling with anxiety lately so progress has been slow, but the latest version of Newlife is out now. This one is all about laying the groundwork for new neighborhood content.
Major changes & additions:
Added game mechanics and scenes to allow the PC to move home. This will be expanded with future updates.
Minor changes:
Updated every one of the hundreds (bleck) of references to the PC's “apartment” or “flat” to check for the possibility she lives in a house instead and return the correct text.
The neighborhood an NPC lives in is now influenced by their income.
As requested by Hippolyta, the jerk friend can now have a TONED body-type. This will be less common for randomly-generated jerks but custom ones can set it.
Made some adjustments & additions to the makeout male orgasm text to better handle the “sitting in lap” position. Thanks to Helvette for highlighting some issues here.
Changed the process for making the exe file. Please let me know if this leads to issues running it. The jar file is unaffected so this won't matter for players using the jar to start the game.
Changes for user-submitted content:
Added getNeighborhood, isLivingInFlat and getFlatOrHouse to the PC object for custom scenes.
Added HYPNOTIST to the custom NPC guides: it was allowed for custom NPCs before but wasn't included in the guides. This trait has very minor effects in the main game, but may be more relevant in some custom scenes. Thanks to Stochastic for flagging up this omission.
Bugfixes:
Fixes to text issues. Thanks to Stochastic, helvette, StuntCuffer, Abby, JulianR.Amazing and Obort for reporting some of these.
Fixed an issue reported by StuntCuffer where the action to go back to side-by-side in the sitting makeout would always succeed even when it was supposed to fail and had text indicating as much.
Fixed an issue where failing the back to side-by-side and similar actions would still allow the NPC to initiate anal sex that same turn, even though these sort of actions are supposed to stop sex initiation (and do for PiV) until the following turn.
Fixed a “no actions available” bug reported by BannedHeresy in the NPC pregnancy reveal scene.
Fixed an issue reported by Anarchyst and Obort where newlines were added between parts of the relationship description even when those parts were blank, which could potentially lead to a relationship description starting with multiple newlines. This led to bad spacing in, most notably, the nightclub “describe characters” section.
Fixed a bug reported by AnarChYsT where the action to un-do the “don't pull out” relationship status available to likes-bare characters was not working.
Have fun and let me know if you find any bugs!

Hi! Returning patron here after a year away due to economic issues. Are there any NPC creation tools still being supported? Both the old ones I could find via google went to dead links

I feel like the text when moving homes could be made clearer. This is what it says when considering moving from the rundown flat to a nicer home: "Your current home might be more luxurious, but you'd save a bit of money: the rent would be £300 compared to the £200 you're paying now. " Seems inconsistent, its almost like its talking about moving from the nicer place to the worse place

Thanks for the update, SO! It's crazy to look back and see how far the game has come since you first started working on it, keep up the great work!

I almost forgot that I reported that bug xD Happy to help though. This game has so much potential from where it was years ago. Keep up the good work, but also remember that your health, both mental and physical, come first!
