Newlife 0.8.5
🕑 Added 2023-12-31 18:01:28 +0000 UTCHello everyone, and a happy New Year's Eve!
Here's version 0.8.5 of Newlife. I'm fairly pleased with how development has gone this month - my back injury is still giving me the occasional twinge but it isn't interfering much with work any more and things have gone reasonably smoothly.
This one focuses on more NPC-work related scenes - I'd begun the month thinking I'd do just one, but in the end I've been able to include two and also had a chance to go over some requests from players that should spice things up in a few areas.
The changelog is below, I hope you enjoy the new version, and that 2024 turns out to be a great your for all of you!
Major changes & additions:
Added a new event that can happen if you are a housewife to someone with an office job (business, accountancy, civil servant, or certain special event jobs).
Added a new event where you can ask an unemployed partner to seek work, and a follow-up if they agree to your request.
Added a bunch of content for the evil hypnotist in existing scenes, including the club, dates, sex and the marriage scene. The goal isn't to add an entirely new playstyle (which would take up far too much writing time for such a niche route) but rather to add flavour content for characters in these relationships. Therefore, there are still plenty of actions that also don't have evil-hypno content – don't expect it everywhere! This content is enabled by the “UNDER_THRALL_OF_EVIL_HYPNO” flag which is set when you finish a hypno session with him without breaking the trance, and removed if you do break the trance in such a session. This was requested by someone and I'd normally thank them here, but I didn't take notes about who it was – sorry!
Minor changes:
You can now ask an NPC what they do for a living in the club or at your home. This will give you the information regardless of your current knowledge level. Thanks to Zab for reminding me that this needed to be added!
Certain special NPC careers will be automatically known by the PC, and the repairman's career will be known if you've encountered him while he's working.
Added a new RECEDING hairstyle for male NPCs.
Added a new “important talk” option suggested by Death Magus for characters with the likes-bare trait. This lets you tell a man that any requests you make for him to pull out or use a condom are just playing and should be refused. When this is set the conditions for such actions will be reduced and your partner will always refuse them without your character being angry at the refusal.
Bugfixes:
Fixes to text issues. Thanks to Eulexia and Sky Dreamer for reporting some of these.

Just as you're stepping up to confront him, The Ugly Hypnotist fixes you with an intense gaze. He tells you that what he's doing is absolutely find and you don't want to complain. It feels like a strange thing to think, seeing as only an absolute bastard would sabotage a girl's birth control. But... it seems you do think it. How strange. Quite a lot of the evening has passed now and it won't be long before your date naturally draws to a close. Hypnotist sabotaging birth control scene. (ignoring the name of "The Ugly Hypnotist", as I was testing through for content) It should be "He tells you that what he's doing is absolutely fine" not "find".

Here's what I'm thinking after playing the latest update where I was playing with the Office Rival event, the Rival picks on you because she doesn't like and tried to make your life in the office hard yet in my mind it's all a tsundere act to get the MC's attention even before the MC had 'spike' their food leading to a hate-quickie. This is just me thinking because I like tsundere characters in relationships.
