Hi, I hope you're doing well. I've been struggling with a migrane today so I'm not feeling very productive, but aside from that progress has been going fairly well in the last week or so.
The next release is going to center on an event chain...
2019-09-11 01:03:44 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, here's an updated version which I believe should fix the "blank screen" error in the last build.
2019-09-04 03:19:48 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, here's version 0.5.3. This one implements the gameplay changes around giving female NPCs their own fertility cycles and the ability to get pregnant and give birth, along with key updates to existing scenes.
I'll be building on ...
2019-09-01 00:40:14 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, this release contains a scene I commissioned from the writer Elizabeth King that I've had sitting around waiting for final polish & integration for a little while now.
I've also included scene submissions from Secondarian a...
2019-08-09 00:47:01 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
I've just finished counting up the results of the major update vote, and it's a decisive victory for Improved Pregnancy. The results were:
1: Improved Pregnancy
2: Lesbian Content
2: Work and Career
Hi all! Here's version 0.5.1 of Newlife.
The main change here is an overhaul of the career framework. The PC now starts unemployed, has to interview for her job, and can quit to be unemployed again or to become a housewife.
...
2019-07-30 22:16:49 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, hope you're having a great start to the week.
I'll keep this one short because I'm a little tipsy - I'm rewarding myself with a drink. Specifically, Hooper's alcholoic dandelion and burdock - not one that appears in Newlife. And yes,...
2019-07-29 23:00:34 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
With the relationships update finished, it's time to vote on the next major update. This will be the 0.5.x updates, finishing with version 0.6.0.
I'm going to make a bit of a change with how this vote work...
2019-07-18 20:43:02 +0000 UTC View PostSorry all, there was a bug in my fix for the savegame issue that meant it wasn't actually solved in 0.5.0b. This version should have it sorted.
2019-07-07 20:05:03 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, here's an updated version with some bug fixes and the office harassment scene submitted by stochastic:
Major changes & additions:
Added the Office Harassment scene submitted by stochastic.

2019-07-07 00:46:29 +0000 UTC View PostHi all!
Newlife 0.5.0 is here - the last release in the relationships update. I'll be running a vote soon to decide what to do for the next one.
Please let me know if there's any bugs - I had to make changes throughout the code to supp...
2019-07-05 00:23:53 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, turns out that "last little thing" of letting the PC lie to her partner about her baby being his is a tad more fiddly than I'd planned. Sorry for the additional delay. Release tomorrow probably, or the day after if testing goes badly.
2019-07-03 23:51:22 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
I'm going to take a slight delay in releasing the next version of Newlife - probably just by a day or so.
It might in theory be possible to put together a release tonight, but I don't think it would be a very satisfying one - t...
2019-06-30 22:46:29 +0000 UTC View PostHi all!
So, I've been suffering from some bad anxiety lately, and so I've been avoiding interacting with people - I don't think I've replied anywhere for the last few weeks. Not Patreon, not discord, not the blog.
However, w...
2019-06-26 15:26:26 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
I've been struggling with illness for most of the month and haven't made very much progress. At this point, I don't consider it realistic to get an acceptably-sized update out this month.
As such, I've paused the pat...
2019-05-22 02:20:32 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
I'm still feeling pretty bad - I've basically no energy at all and I haven't been able to do much productive work at all since my last post.
We'll see how things develop. If I don't recover soon then I may not be able to do a w...
2019-05-14 02:15:14 +0000 UTC View PostHi, hope you're all doing well.
I seem to be coming down with some sort of a cold - I've no energy this week, been sleeping way longer than usual and my mouth is weirdly dry. So, illness :(
It's bad timing for Newlife's work because I'...
2019-05-08 16:30:15 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, there was a typo in the cooking class file .vm file that could cause an error during the scene.
To fix this, download the attached file and move it to newlife/additional_scenes/official_content, overwriting the existing file of the s...
2019-05-07 02:16:27 +0000 UTC View PostHi all!
A few people reported an issue with the porn-shoot erroring if your friend was the male star - thanks Dunan Rayne and Taemmy! I've put together another bugfix version. There's also a bunch more fixes & changes here, most notably:...
2019-05-01 23:43:35 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, there were some bugs in the last release, notably one that could break save-files. Please use this version instead.
2019-05-01 13:20:43 +0000 UTC View PostHi all! Here's the new version of Newlife. Enjoy, and let me know if you spot any bugs!
Hi all!
I've been cracking on with the latest Newlife update, working to convert the playable porn-shoot scene into output that I can pipe into the porn-theater you can visit on dates.
Today though, I've taken a bit of time off from Ne...
2019-04-12 23:43:52 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, I had an anonymous tip-off about some situations where the porn scene would error. I've fixed these: here's a bugfix version 0.4.29b and I've also update the file on the previous post.
2019-04-01 15:38:28 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
This is the PMW release. It includes an event chain where a sleazy friend or partner will contact you about shooting a porno.
This consists of 3 scenes - in hindsight I should probably have cut it down to ...
2019-04-01 03:18:53 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
So, I'm working on the PMW release right now and it should be out fairly soon. This has been a challenging one because of its scope: it requires multiple separate scenes, none of which is entirely trivial.
Hi all,
Here's an updated version of 0.4.28. I'd anticipated a flood of bug reports for the new content, but apparently it hasn't been so bad - which means I've been able to seriously catch up on minor change-requests from various forums and...
2019-03-04 20:05:54 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
So, I woke up this morning and suddenly remembered that there's just 28 days in February.
Fortunately both the main additions for the next release were largely ready for release: a near-complete rework of the town-date and a ne...
2019-02-28 21:02:07 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, here's a quick update with a fix for the low-cooking-skill error when making breakfast.
2019-02-07 12:25:25 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
Here's an updated version with fixes to some bugs that were reported in 0.4.27. It isn't especially thoroughly tested as that'd mean delaying the release to tomorrow, but hopefully I won't have mucked up any of the fixes.
2019-02-02 05:01:30 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, here's version 0.4.27 of Newlife.
I'd been planning a big replacement of the town date scene but it isn't quite ready yet (maybe 80% or so). Instead I'm putting out a smaller release here with new cooking content and you'll get the d...
