Newlife 0.7.2
🕑 Added 2021-06-01 17:33:27 +0000 UTCHello everyone! Here's Newlife 0.7.2, with more hair and a start on the lesbian content.
This version is not compatible with saves from previous versions.
I've decided to start the lesbian update with a club scene. For now this doesn't really go anywhere - you can't get frisky with another woman, take her home, or go on a date - the scenes for those things haven't been added yet.
This will of course change soon: my focus for the next bunch of releases will be to add the lesbian equivalents of the club->date->home->makeout->sex->sleep content. After that I'll be going back for a second pass to revisit those scenes again and add more depth: that's when I'll put in things like a proper dance sub-scene for two women.
Here's the changelog. Enjoy the new version, and let me know if you find any bugs!
Major changes & additions:
Proper implementation of hairstyles, including variation across NPCs (with hairstyles weighted by outfit style, though you can also set the hairstyle directly for custom NPCs) and the ability to change the PC's hair by visiting a stylist on weekends. Thanks to the people who suggested hairstyles for the game: Jams, Robin, Sentenal and anyone else I've missed off the list.
The PC can now dye her hair at the stylist. You can choose from a variety of natural, unusual or bright colours. Dyeing your hair a bright colour is an informal look that will give you a few points towards “casualness” (and therefore a penalty to “elegance”).
One new socialisation event.
First pass at the lesbian club scene. My aim in this release was to broadly mirror the actions from the existing nightclub that don't require sub-scenes. While it is possible to swap numbers with one of the women here, there is no lesbian date scene as yet so things will end there. I'll be extending and adding depth to this scene in future releases.
Minor changes:
Added a small chance for innocent NPCs to use the cheerful outfit style.
The Impregnator breeding plot can now repeat itself, with a different target each time. Unfriending or dumping the impregnator-friend completely resets the plot (to allow it to restart with a different impregnator in the future) but also means that the same character could be targeted more than once if the impregnator is unfriended in-between.
Some rebalancing of NPC decision making in actions in the nightclub scene.
Increased the number of standard female NPCs by one: the default is now 4 and the minimum 3.
Updated attraction calculations towards female NPCs: the PC should find other women more attractive now. I expect there'll be more to be done with this later on, perhaps by including breast-size and female-figure preferences in character-creation.
Changes for user-submitted content:
Renamed the “haircut” field in custom characters that was added last version to “hairstyle”. Any existing custom npcs will need to be changed. Sorry about this, but I think it'd be too confusing to keep “haircut” for custom npcs while using “hairstyle” everywhere else.
Properly added hairstyles to the custom NPCs, including a list of valid values. The game will permit giving women's styles to male NPCs and vice-versa, even though this doesn't happen in default character-creation.
Added hairstyle methods to custom scene characters: setHairstyle, getHairstyle, getHairLength, getHasHair, getHairCanFallInFace and getHasGrabbableHair. See documentation for details. The enum reference has been updated with a list of hairstyles.
The attraction methods and haveOrgasmFromPc have been moved from MaleNpc to Npc and now apply to Female NPCs as well. I'll probably be making similar changes as more lesbian content gets added, so please let me know if you find something that you think should apply to all NPCs instead of just men.
Breastsize preference methods have been moved from MaleNpc to Npc.
Bugfixes:
Fixes to text issues. Thanks to Aetherial and Sight for reporting some of these.
Re-ordered some of the getting-dressed text from the date scene to fix a text issue reported by Wishfulthinker
Fixed a problem reported by J.J. on Patreon where part of the bra's description wasn't being saved correctly.
Fixed a problem reported by Stochastic where characters could get duplicate relationship flags.
Fixed an issue reported by Mister B where your partner could suggest a threesome on the same turn that your date ends, resulting in an anticlimactic “it's too late” message instead of the ability to actually go along with it.
Fixed a bug reported by PM over on patreon where the game would error when a single PC with the romantic trait developed a crush on someone.
Fixed (I think) a bug reported over PM where following a load the shops would start selling duplicates of clothes you already own.
Fixed a bug reported by Mister B where one man attempting to film you during sex would lead to other men later in the scene-chain doing so, even if it didn't fit their personalities.
Fixed a bug reported by Shardon where your babies would go missing on loading a game (yikes!).

I stand corrected - they DO appear in the Befriend Someone list. It just takes a VERY long time, in my experience here.

While I love the introduction of Lesbian content, and I know it's only a skeleton framework at the moment...it seems odd that women we flirt and dance with in the Lesbian Club cannot be added to our Friends list...? That's how it's working for me, anyway - girls I meet up with in the Lesbian Club never appear in the list of people I can Befriend, no matter how many times I encounter them there.

I don't know much about Macs... is there some way you can open it from a command prompt so it'll show you the error message? That might help track things down. Also, were you able to run the previous version okay?
