Newlife 0.7.8
🕑 Added 2022-02-06 00:15:22 +0000 UTCHi all, Newlife 0.7.8 is finally done - sorry about the delay.
This one includes the sleep-together and next-morning scenes for lesbian dates. The other main addition - and one which took far longer than I'd been anticipating - is a rework of how Newlife handles name and race.
There's a couple of consequences from this. First, race and name are now linked. Each race has a weighted selection of namelists which determine which names can be used. This means that you'll see middle-eastern characters with arabic names, black ones with african names and so on. Everyone still has some chance of using the "general" namelist.
Secondly, all the race information has been moved to an external file: raceData.json in the main folder. This can be edited by players, allowing you to customise things to your own preference. Remember to back it up before installing a new version though as it'll otherwise be overwritten.
By the way, the default lists of names were put together based on lists I could easily find online and omissions aren't intended as a slight on any left-out cultures.
If you think there's some namelist that should be in the game, then if you can put together a selection of names and I'll be happy to add them in.
Changelog:
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 โfeel her bumโ 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.
Have fun and please let me know if you find any bugs!

On further testing it looks like there is a bug that's showing up in the built version. I'll figure out a fix and put out a bugfix update.

Thanks! I'll get that sorted out

Please do! I'm trying to add another name list to racedata.json and for some reason the game won't accept it despite it being correct as far as I can tell. I'd love to get some sort of error so I can pinpoint what's wrong with it.

Missing word: "In a gross violation of your duties as a host you dig up Keira's and snoop around in it. This helps you get to know her a bit better, although you can't help but feel ashamed at what you're doing. " Keira's what? Handbag? Phone? User manual?
Saint Destiny
Small spelling error: "You stretch and yawn out loud and, at this, she wakes as well withg an attempt at a smile that soon turns into a yawn to match yours. " "withg" -> "with", and I would also place a comma between "well" and "with" there.

If the load fails (due to an issue with the json or whatever) then it'll use a default set of values that are identical to the default file contents. This is most likely what's happening. I should probably put some sort of feedback to the player when this happens.

It seems to be completely ignoring any changes to the new racedata.json file. Any changes to the name lists or chances seem to be completely tossed. Should it actually be in the newlife data folder?

Two minor typos when sleeping with another woman, and having a Mr. Snuggles: "With a smile at your cuddly friend, you pull back the covers and get into bed with Abigail You lie back, your long black tangling with Abigail's soft dark brown strands. flick out the light, leaving the room in complete darkness." There's a missing period after the first sentence, and then there's a period after "brown strands" which should be a comma I think Later, if you snuggle: " it seems only natural for her lips to find hers, and then for her hands to find other places lower down." Her lips to find yours*

Ohhey! Names being more related to race is a surprising but super welcome change, awesome
