The changelog is: http://splendidostrich.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/newlife-030-released.html You can download it from this post. Have fun and please report any bugs! On the subject of bugs.. the changes for this version were quite widespread and affected a lot of files. I didn't find anything in my last test run, but that doesn't mean there aren't still issues there. As usual, if you fin...

Dev update

Hello everyone! These last couple of days have been quite productive, so unless I run into unexpected difficulties of rather greater difficulty than usual you can expect the next version to be out within a week. I hope you all have a happy weekend :)

March vote results

Hello everyone! The results for the Match vote are ready. This one was a bit closer than the last. The big opinion divider as consensual rape roleplaying, which had the 2nd most first choice votes but was also a lot of people's last choice. In the end, the winner was again the option which had the most first choice votes: Doggy-style sex. The choices in order, from the winner to the three which were joint-least-popular: Doggy-style Anal sex Consensual rape roleplaying with your boyfriend Work...

March vote has started

Hello everyone, I hope you're having a good start to the weekend. I've sent out Patreon messages to all the successfully-processed voter patrons with the options for this month's vote. Results will be posted on the 14th.

Newlife 0.2.9 update

Hello everyone! There was a bug in 0.2.9 where you could end up stuck with no actions during the club dance scene. Sorry for any trouble you went through. I've fixed that and made a new jar which is attached to this post. Please use that one instead of yesterday's.

Newlife 0.2.9

Hello everyone! Version 0.2.9 is ready and I've attached the jar to this post. I'll put the changelog up on the blog soon. Have fun :) Edit: changelog is http://splendidostrich.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/newlife-version-029-released.html Edit2: There's a bug in this version. Please use the jar uploaded the day after instead.

March voting choices - last call!

Hello everyone, and thank you so much for your support this month! I'll be starting the vote on the first milestone reward soon. That'll be a new sex scene - or a similarly-sized erotic scene of some kind anyway. If there's any scenes you want to see added, then you can suggest them here, as long as you get them in before I send out the voting choices. Any patron can suggest a scene, but obviously only people who successfully pledged at voter-tier will get to vote. I already posted about this...

February 2015 Patreon supported

Thank you so much for the support this month!

February vote result

Thanks for voting everyone! Friendship won the vote and will be the 0.4 update. The next vote will be for what to do for the first milestone reward. I want to start that early next month - probably within a week or so.

Newlife 0.2.8

Hello everyone! It's taken me a while, but with 4 new scenes this is a big update. I've done the usual amount of testing but haven't worked through every single path in the new scenes. If I get any major bug reports then I'll fix them tomorrow and push a patch version out. This update focuses on dancing. There's still some changes due to be made there. In the next release I plan to update the nightclub scene, let you dance with dates in your home, and have some kind of character creation trait...

February's vote

Hello everyone, I've sent the messages out for this month's Patron vote. If you didn't receive a message and you successfully pledged at voter-tier in January then let me know. Voting choices are in this blog post: http://splendidostrich.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/newlife-04-release-voting-candidates.html I've decided to stick with Patreon messaging again for the votes. I...

First milestone reached!

Hi all, I hope you all had a great weekend! Thanks to your support we've reached the first milestone goal. My plan with that is to run a vote at the beginning of next month to decide what new scene will be added. If there's a scene that you want to put forward as a candidate for voting then either message me or post it here in a comment. Because this will be an additional scene to the main development plan, you can suggest ones that aren't part of the core dev plan - for example, anal sex. I ...

0.2.7 updated for smaller resolutions

This version just has one change over the last one - the Buy & Donate buttons on the shopping screen have been moved to the middle of the screen, so players on smaller resolutions should still be able to click them. If your resolution is big enough for you to see the whole window at the default 1000x800 size then there's no need for you to download this update.

Hello everyone! It's maybe not obvious to people who don't spend their time poking around in Patreon's FAQ, but I thought I'd just mention that you can set your patronage to be private in your account settings. To do so just select "Edit Account" from the menu at the top right and uncheck the tickbox near the bottom of the page that reads "My profile page is visible to others". Obviously that isn't an issue for me, but if you're using your real name in your Patreon account and don't want other...

Updated Newlife 0.2.7

Hi all! I had a few bug reports, so here's a new version of 0.2.7 with some fixes and a few new additions. I've updated the blog post with the changelog already. Edit: I've removed the file to mediafire because it was possible for non-patrons to see it in some cases. You can download the file directly from this post using Patreon. If this is causing you problems, then send me a message and I'll try to help - if it turns out to be impossible for someone to get it via Patreon then I'll send them ...

Newlife version 0.2.7 - patron version

Hello everyone! I've decided to start offering early access to Newlife updates as the $5 patron reward. My original plan was to put extra hours in this month and get two releases out at the same time. Despite, or perhaps because of being stuck at home ill half last week, I've succeeded fairly well in putting in the extra time. Whether my code quality has stayed up to standard is something you'll have to tell me, possibly in the form of furious bug reports! I've now finished the first of these ...

Hope you're all having a good weekend :) The new skill vote is exactly tied between Dance and Fitness. Voter-tier patrons can message me or comment here to let me know which they prefer. If they're still equal by next Saturday then I'll just toss a coin to decide. The vote rankings were: 1. Dance & Fitness 2. Martial Arts 3. Fashion 4. Singing 5. Cooking & Painting That'll be useful to me in deciding what order to add other skills in the future as well. I'll also put a blog post up s...

Still a few hours left to vote. I've done a preliminary count and the top two choices are exactly tied at the moment, so your vote could be critical!

Newlife dev version (0.2.3c)

Hi all! I know it's been a while since the last release. The next one still needs some changes before I put it online. In the meantime I'm going to put the dev version up here so you can have a go with it. This has a new scene which you can get into by going on a date in town with some types of men. Let me know if you find any bugs - testing has been light so far so there definitely will be some! Have fun :) Mega link removed because 0.2.4 is now out on the blog.

Hi all! There's a few new voter-tier patrons who've joined after I sent out this month's voting messages. The voting deadline is Saturday 24th. If you've just joined then you can still vote as long as you get in before then. To vote, send me a patreon message with a first choice (which gets 1 point) and 2 secondary choices (0.5 points each) from the list below. The winning one will be the new skill added for 0.3: Cooking Dance Fashion Fitness Martial arts Painting Singing

Hello everyone! I think I've sent out messages about the new skill to everyone who's eligible to vote. If you're a voter-tier patron and you didn't get one then let me know. I'll count the votes in about a week - Saturday 24th.

Hi all! Thanks for the support :) I'll be running a vote soon for all voter-tier patrons. This will be to decide which skill gets new content for the 0.3 release. The chosen skill will get specific activities if it doesn't have them already, plus some unique events that trigger based on the skill. It'll also get interactions with existing scenes where appropriate. For example, cooking will affect how well you can prepare meals for your dates. All of the skills I'm suggesting here are planned ...

Newlife development jar

Hi all! This is the current Newlife dev jar. There'll be more stuff added before I make a full release, but you can have a go with it now if you like. Changlog so far: - Improved how men are chosen for nightclubs. You'll now always get 4-6 men on a night out, which will usually be slightly more than earlier versions. - Fixed some text bugs – thanks to Cubano & Engai for reporting these - You can now buy stuff for your flat (the activity is available on weekends). - Some possible action...

Thank you for your support guys! I'm really encouraged by how well things have started off and I really appreciate your generosity :) A few people on mentioned on the forums that my milestone goals are perhaps rather optimistic while I'm just starting out. True enough! I'm holding fire until the next update because there are some bugfixes I want to get out quickly, but after that I'll post to ask for suggestions & opinions about both milestone goals and patron rewards. In the meantime, I ho...
