Hello everyone!
The major update vote has just finished. At first glance it was a tie, with Lesbian Content and Homes & Money each getting 26 votes, and UI rework a distant third on 8.
However, after adding the extras for people on the triple-voter tier a clear winner emerged: Lesbian Content will be the next major update.
The next release, coming soon, wi...

I'm planning for the next release to finish the work & career update. As such, it's time to vote on the next major update. These will be the 0.7.x updates, finishing with version 0.8.0.
Lesbian Content:
- Lesbian variants of the club, town-date, home-date, sleep-together and next-morning scenes.
- Lesbian lying and standi...
Hi all!
I've been talking about starting a scene-writing contest with Eulexia, Secondarian and Stochastic over on Discord. I've attached a WIP version of the contest rules.
I'll put up a proper announcement with the final rules in a day or two. In the meantime, what are your thoughts on these? Are they readable and clear? Any problems or loopholes with the rules? Let me now!

2021-03-05 07:30:52 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
Here's another bugfix update with a fix for a problem JulianR.Amazing reported where the party scene could error if it fired when you'd met the rival but not the hunk. Hopefully that's rare enough that not many players will have seen it, but I think it's enough to justify another re-release.
I also fixed a text problem reported by JulianR.Amazing, OrangeJuice and Brobort. 2021-03-03 06:15:58 +0000 UTC View Post
Hi all, here's the version of 0.6.12 with better testing and bugs hopefully squashed. Thanks to all the people who reported issues!
2021-03-02 05:00:32 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
So, here's the first version of 0.6.12.
There was a lot I wanted to touch on this release, but in the end pretty much all my work ended up on the new office party scene and I ended up very squeezed for time at the end of the month.
Unfortunately, the scene desperately needs more testing. It's now 7am though, and I'm getting tired to the point where I don't ...
2021-03-01 07:02:10 +0000 UTC View PostHi all! Here's version 0.6.11 of Newlife. The main focus has been allowing the PC to get her revenge on her office rival, but there's also a small new trick the rival can play on you as well, just to even things out!
Changelog:
Major changes & additions:
Added a new scene that allows the PC to plot revenge on her office rival.
Added a new scene where...

Here's version 0.6.10, the PMW release with a threesome (spitroast) scene.
As you may have gathered from the fact that I'm posting a release at 21 minutes past midnight on the last day of the month, this has been a challenging one! Adding and integrating a multi-participant scene was quite thorny, especially as the scene is intended to work in a wide variety...
2021-01-01 00:21:50 +0000 UTC View PostHappy Xmas everybody, I hope you're all having a good day whether you're spending it alone or with friends or family.
The next release is likely to be close to the end of the month - I'm working on the PMW release with a new 3p spitroast scene, so there's no shortage of things for me to add there!
There are a bunch of ways a 3p scene can play out with some big differences...
2020-12-25 09:52:55 +0000 UTC View PostHi all!
I've counted up the results for the PMW vote that will decide what will be in the next release.
There was a wafer-thin margin - after adding the extra votes for people on the super-voter tier the results were exactly equal between "Gangbang" and "Getting caught with the jerk friend". However, one of the voters had sent me a PM to say that their preferred option was the Gangb...
2020-11-24 20:32:53 +0000 UTC View PostHi all! Here's version 0.6.9 of Newlife, along with the obvious addition. The next release will be the PMW one - I'll count up the votes once I've finished sorting out the release stuff.
Major changes & additions:
The PC and her lovers can now indulge in 69, a position which can be accessed by either partner starting from a lying-down makeout.

2020-11-24 20:18:45 +0000 UTC View PostHi all!
I'd said I'd count up the PMW votes today. However, it's currently a draw betwen being caught with the jerk friend or getting double-teamed by a pair of guys.
I believe that the rules for PMW are that when there's a draw I pick my favourite of the two, or just toss a coin if I'm unsure. However, the next release is maybe a day or two away - I want a little extra time to thin...

Hi all!
So, here's 5 versions of the same image. These are intended to be the "pleasured" closeup, shown when the character is reaching orgasm.
I liked the initial black-and-white sketch, but I feel that the various final versions could maybe use a bit of adjustment.
I've given some feedback to the artist already, but I won't repeat it here so as not to influence your op...
2020-11-18 02:41:32 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
It's time for the next PMW vote. PMW is the "prove me wrong" milestone where you get to vote for something which I otherwise wouldn't consider a priority for the game.
I'll check the results on the 22nd and implement whatever wins for the release after the one currently in-progress.
Here are the voting options. You can vote for more than one if you'r...
2020-11-14 00:41:24 +0000 UTC View PostHi all! I'll be running the PMW vote in a week, but for now just a quick post about a rather more obscure vote - the US elections.
I'm not an American so I don't have much to say about the election, but of course it's all over the news so I thought I'd share my 2p about one thing - it's important to vote if you can.
Voting is how you have your say on how your country is run, a...
2020-11-02 23:32:20 +0000 UTC View PostHi all! A while ago, I promised someone over PM that I'd make a public post to let them know when the PMW kicking off, so here it is.
0.6.9 will expand the rivals content, but 0.6.10 will be a PMW release where I implement a suggestion from one of the voters.
The suggestions post is already up for voter patrons, so if you're at that tier and have an idea you'd like to share th...
2020-10-28 11:26:30 +0000 UTC View PostHi all!
It's time for the PMW release, which will be the one after the next release: 0.6.10 which will probably be out in December. PMW stands for "prove me wrong" and is when I run a vote about adding something that'd otherwise be low-priority or perhaps not in the game at all.
This is the post where I gather suggestions to put in the voting list. I'll collect them...

Hi all,
I've received a complete set of images from that first artist, the one drawing the picture of the mercenary.
They've made a number of improvements to the mercenary image based on your feedback and it certainly does look better than it did before. Nevertheless, I don't find it appealing enough to include in the game. They have asked if there are any changes that I'd like made...

Hi all!
I mentioned in my earlier post that I had 2 artists doing trial commissions for game-two. As your feedback was so helpful for the mercenary image, I've asked the other artist if I can share their ongoing work. This is a bit of a larger commission, so there are 4 images here (1 incomplete) with a couple more still ongoing.
Last time, I posted with the aim of narrowing d...
2020-10-23 11:38:21 +0000 UTC View PostHi 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 n...

Hi all, no release post just yet, though there's just tests and bugfixing left for the next version so you can expect it soon.
Instead, I'd like to get some feedback on a piece of art I've commissioned for Game Two, my unreleased fantasy project that I'm slowly making progress on.
This is part of a trial commission - I've commissioned three images from this artist to deci...
2020-10-21 00:28:01 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, hope you're doing well!
I'm currently working on the next, and possibly final, NPC for the office career: the office rival.
This is a female NPC who takes a dislike to you and will do what she can to drive you out of the company. It was a tricky one to write at first because the PC's personality can vary so much that it's hard to pin down a single reason for her to be hated ...
2020-10-05 09:56:14 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, here's a slight update with a fix for a bug Brobort reported with the last release that caused one of the new scenes to error when taking an action available for shy characters.
Hi all! Here's version 0.6.7 of Newlife. This one centers on a new NPC for the office career.
Let me know if you find any bugs. I spent longer than usual on testing this time so I'm hoping it'll be fine, but there were definitely a bunch of issues to iron out during the tests so it's always possible something's slipped through. Fingers crossed!
Major changes & a...
2020-09-18 03:13:35 +0000 UTC View PostHi all!
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 - ...
2020-09-12 23:45:31 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, hope you're doing well!
I have a whole bunch of ideas for office career events, but I think the first step has to be adding new NPCs. That way I'll be able to reference them appropriately even in scenes that aren't specifically about them.
My current plan for the office career is to have maybe 3 or 4 work characters. The boss is one, of course, and I'll be giving him and his...

2020-08-19 12:12:57 +0000 UTC View PostHi all! Here's version 0.6.6 of Newlife
This is a bit of an unusal release in that it adds a new career to the game. The new office-work career has more content than sales did at initial release, but it's far behind the amount that sales has now after years of incremental development.
I'll be adding to the office career over the next bunch of releases (aside from PMW, which I'll nee...
2020-08-18 15:04:43 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, hope you're doing well.
Progress has been a bit slow lately - we're having a heatwave here in the uk and I've been struggling to work well in the heat. I work in a little room without air conditioning (which is rare in UK homes), and it's absolutely stifling in here.
Still, the next release is almost done. It'll add a new career track, although of course it'll take a bunch o...
2020-08-15 13:56:16 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, here's version 0.6.5 of Newlife. For this release I've been working on consequences for poor performance at work, including the possibility of sacking or demotion.
I've also added an "office politics" game mechanic that lets you gain points towards promotion without improving your underlying skills: choose the office-politics activity for your work timeslot to access this, althoug...
