Update on 0.6.7

So, looking over the code as it stands it seems that the main content for the next release is done, aside from a bunch of "balance this thing, rewrite that thing" sort of comments.
This is all around a new NPC, the "office hunk" who's a friendly, handsome guy the PC can have a romance with.
The main limitation is that there's currently no scene where he asks her out - there's one where they first meet, repeatable scenes for both admin and PA paths and a scene where the PC makes her move, but nothing where he initiates things.
Still, I don't think it's necessary for now - the main asking-out scene should suffice and it has some routes that I think will turn out rather fun, though I haven't quite got to where I'm testing the finished version. In particular, I think the "love letter" path has the potential to be quite amusing. Adding a scene where the hunk asks out the PC would make this scene show up less often, so unless it offered something new & interesting itself I'm not convinced it's worthwhile.
Aside from that, there's a few requests from players that I want to tackle this release and some bugs that I have to look into. It's hard to provide an estimate on these because sometimes a bug will just take ages to find, and sometimes I'll start work on a request and get inspired to write up a whole load of new stuff.
Still, I'm always pleased to see a release almost ready to go and I imagine it won't be too much longer. Not today, certainly, and probably not tomorrow - for one thing I have some maintenance work being done on my home so I'll need to take a half-day. Soon, though.
Well, that's all I have to say about Newlife for now. I hope you're all doing well. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
