Newlife 0.6.8
🕑 Added 2020-10-21 21:47:28 +0000 UTCHi all!
Here's Newlife 0.6.8, introducing a new character: the office rival.
I intend to add more rival content later on. This one has her introduction scene and a few events where she plays tricks on the pc. Later on I want to add content around the PC defeating her, and eventually a third path where she wins the rival over and they become friends.
There'll also need to be a release based around office events that aren't specific to a certain NPC. For example, an office party. Plus, I need to run PMW soon.
All in all, we're probably looking at 4-5 more versions to 0.7.0 and the next major content vote. Perhaps a couple more if I decide to add an office-manager career branch, but I'm not sure at the moment that this would be different enough from the sales one to justify spending the releases on.
Major changes & additions:
A new NPC: the office rival. The rival has three events for now, and I intend to add more in upcoming releases. Office rivals have one of 7 subtypes that's chosen based on why they dislike the PC. For example, an ambitious PC might have a lazy rival who resents her for making the rival look bad, or a sultry PC could have a seductive rival who sees her as a threat to her position as the office hottie. While all rivals have the same scenes, there are variations in text and sometimes in routes through the scenes depending on subtype.
Minor changes:
Added some new reactions from Ivy in the malestart intro to certain names the PC can choose.
Added a “purity ring” that the PC can buy, inspired by this webcomic: https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2009-07-02. This immediately restores the PC's virginity, including anal virginity, as an immediate effect that can be repeated by buying more rings later on. This allows for multiple men to be your “first” and could potentially lead to somewhat odd descriptions in some scenes.
The office work background now gives 20 points of starting paperwork skill. Thanks to Jacob N for flagging up this ommission.
The forgetful trait now has a stronger effect at high stress, as suggested by fumanchu. It now has a 10% chance of taking effect (as before) at low stress, increasing up to 25% at maximum stress.
As suggested by Saur, characters with the “likes older men” trait now have a stronger variant of the yes answer when asked about it in a job interview.
Updated the malestart intro so that Ivy no longer refers to the PC's new body as being around 21 years old before the player chooses a physical age: this was a holdover from early versions where the PC's age was fixed at early-twenties. She'll now comment on age changes after the female character-creation screen.
Slightly updated the requirements for kicking your boss in the nuts.
Male NPCs can now be bald or have shaven heads, as requested by DR on patreon. I've tried to track down and update references to male NPC hair, but it's possible some remain so please let me know if you see a scene mention a bald or shaven NPC's hair.
Updated the thigh-job sitting makeout action so it no longer refers to the PC getting pre-cum on her skin when her partner is wearing a condom.
Changes for user-submitted content:
Added CHAUVINISTIC_PARTNER back to the custom NPC guide – it was removed by mistake despite still being in-game. Thanks to Rigel for pointing this out.
Note that the Purity Ring is not implemented as a Stuff object but as a repeatable, immediate, one-off effect. As such, it isn't possible to check in later scenes whether the PC has made use of such items.
The BALD and SHAVEN_HEADED traits are available for male custom characters, and OFFICE_RIVAL is available for female ones. The rival's sub-type is assigned at game start because it's picked based on the PC's traits and it therefore cannot be directly chosen for a custom NPC.
Bugfixes:
Fixes to text issues. Thanks to Saint Destiny, Saur, AnarChYsT and Ammut for reporting some of these.
Fixed a bug reported by Ulo Nimbus where the game would error with the “blank event screen” problem if the PC's boyfriend decides to propose marriage, he's a “treasure hunter” character, and the treasure-hunting-rival has not been encountered.
Fixed an issue where the bringHome scene wasn't opening the NPC's trousers, leading to a sex scene without his cock exposed.
Comments
Saur
Typo: "Agree" to prostitution request *** You know that a good proper girl wouldn't prostitute herself to someone who solicited her randomly on the street. Nevertheless you decided to do exactly that and tell him that it depends on what he wants you to do. *** There should be a comma between “good” and “proper girl,” and another after "nevertheless."
Saur
Suggestion: Allow the Office Boss and the Sleazy Business Associate (Sales Route) to request the PC's number? *** Even with just simple "ask" scenes tagged on to existing ones, adding some way for these two NPCs to request the PC's number would network them into the existing relationship content. Since the Business Associate is implied to be married, he could just use the Sales_Boss variant relationship scenes.
Saur
Suggestion: "The baby is his" serious conversation variant for birthed child *** Thanks to the various pregnancy acceleration means in the game, it's very possible for the PC to give birth to her partner's child without ever telling him while she was pregnant. Can there be a dialogue variant to tell a male NPC that he is the father of the PC's already-born infant?
Saur
Typo: Beg to be released *** Annoyed at his refusal to let you go, you bark an order at him. He pays you no attention, except perhaps to drive his disobedient cock even deeper into your unaroused pussy. *** Double-space between "unaroused' and "pussy."
Saur
Typo: Sofa sex (no pull out) *** With a last, deep grunt, Winslowdrives his cock balls-deep into you, so you can feel his swollen orbs nestling against your labia. Without even the slightest attempt to keep his promise to pull out, he starts to orgasm, his erection throbbing in your pussy as he ejaculates deep inside. *** Needs a space between "npcName" and "drives" in the first sentence.
Saur
Typo: Inept Lover fondles poorly (Sofa scene) *** Winslow awkwardly tries to reach under you to touch your breasts butfails to get his fingers between them and the sofa and instead accidentally gives you a painful poke on the side of your tit. *** Needs a space in "butfails" to become "but fails."
Saint Destiny
Seducing office co-worker scene: "As you do so, it suddenly occurs to you that this is technically your Alan's first kiss. " There's something wrong with this sentence. Should it say 'your and Alan's first kiss'?
Saint Destiny
"A few hours pass, and you're working away, engrossed in a spreadsheet, when Alanpasses by your desk." 'Allan pases' needs a space.
Saur
Saur's Megathread Last Updated: 12/1/2020 Suggestion: Milky variant text during marriage consummation ***** A firm tug on your shoulders gets you to lift your upper body from the altar. Rocky slips his powerful hands beneath to cup your breasts. He eagerly kneads the lush naked flesh, your massive tits engulfing his hands in warm softness. ***** Could there be variant text here if the PC is lactating?

Glad you're enjoying it! I'm sure there must have been discussions in the past about Ivy's reactions, though without trawling through some forums I'm not sure where they'd be. I could put a list up, but why not ask on the discord first - that way if someone's spent time tracking them down they'll have a chance to show off their knowledge to you!
Splendid Ostrich
Thanks! I'll get that fixed
Saint Destiny
"You slip into Danny's office, take the seat in front of his desk and seductively cross your legs, giving him a good look at your palecalves. With his eyes on your body, you flirt with him, using your feminine wiles to convince him to do his job. Your persuasions certainly have an effect. Danny is convinced, but not that he wants to sit down and do some paperwork. Rather, he's convinced that he wants you to get him off. He makes you an offer: if you make him feel good, then he'll do his job properly today. " 'pale calves' need a space.

Is there a list anywhere of the names Ivy reacts to? I've already found a couple. Love the new rival and her events, by the way. :)

Ah, the shy trait doesn't actually have a specific associated rival type. If a character's only trait is Shy then they'll get the "office bully", who's the rival that appears if none of the others is available.
RevolverJ
Interested in what the reason will be for the rival disliking the PC if they have the shy archetype.

Finally! bald guy appears!

Thank you very much!

I'd want a proper lesbian sex scene first, but perhaps as part of the lesbian update, should it win the next vote. One of the things I'll be doing for that is looking over existing npcs and quasi-npcs to see if they should get updates and I'll certainly look over the rival again then.
Splendid Ostrich
Happy birthday, have a great day!
keenam
I agree with Axel's question and too wonder, other than that this is great timing for a update as it is my birthday today!
Axel
So will you be adding a hatesex/falling-in-love-with-rival path?
