Hi all,
Sorry for the delay in making this post. My original plan for this release was to start with adding the Sophisticated NPC to the bar scene, but I was struggling to come up with good content for it so instead I've switched over to working on a strip-blackjack scene for the house party. Overall, my writing hasn't been especially insp...

Have fun, and let me know if you find any bugs.
Hi all,
Just a short update for now as I'm quite tired today - sleeping badly again, I think. The next version will be a smaller one than the last two, with the new patreon milestone but also some new event chains that let the player make some female friends without relying on the nightclub.
I'm aiming to have 2 of these, but I'm sti...
2016-09-02 20:40:27 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
The 4.5k milestone was reached recently and I'll therefore be implementing custom starting clothing as a new cheat option for the next release.
This post is so people can discuss what sort of thing they'd like to see. I'll be adding a set of basic choices using the clothing-style categories that NPCs choose from, but it...
2016-08-27 22:01:50 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, 0.3.25 is completed. I've attached the file to this post for you to download. This update contains a new large sex scene which can be accessed through various friendship-related scenes.
For those of you who don't scrutinise the minor updates section of the changelog, there's aslo a new cheat in this version which increases the...
2016-08-25 19:16:54 +0000 UTC View PostHi all!
I've had a message suggesting I modify the inner circle reward - I won't reply just yet because leaving it unanswered makes it less likely I'll forget about it. At the very least I need to give Inner Circle a *proper* description on the front page.
The suggestion was that I drop the current $20 and $25 rewards to $15 and...

2016-07-31 23:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
There were some more bugs found in 0.3.24b - nothing quite as awful as in the original 0.3.24 release but still enough to justify another patch release. The updated zip file is attached to this post - enjoy!
Hi all, a very close vote this time. The results were:
Cowgirl: 10
Doggy: 9
Missionary: 8
The cowgirl position is the winner, but I think we all know that the real winner would have been "hanging upside-down like a bat" if I hadn't unfairly excluded it from the voting choices.
This will be relevant in the ne...
2016-07-19 13:47:39 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, here's an updated version of 0.3.24 with some bugfixes, in particular to the build issue that was making the new scene crash.
I've also included the custom NPC guides in a folder within the zip.
Let me know if you find any problems - hopefully there won't be any like yesterday's!
Edit: while not quite like the da...
2016-07-18 17:18:19 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone, here's version 0.3.24.
Some quite big new content added here - I hope I got all the bugs out, but there were a *lot* in testing so please make sure to let me know if anything seems wrong!

2016-07-18 01:54:01 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
Not the best week - I've often had issues with insomnia in the past but this is usually due to stress. The last few days it's been especially bad for a different reason - because of large amounts of noise throughout the night.
Monday was especially bad with almost no sleep at all on Sunday night - as you can imagine I got littl...
2016-07-15 02:00:23 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
I've had some issues with stress & insomnia over the last week or so which have made it hard to focus. However, when I have been focussed progress has been going very well indeed, so hopefully it'll all balance out.
The next release is one of the two big scenes that still need to be done before 0.4. In this case, ...

2016-06-30 23:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
I'm running a quick vote which will be relevant for one of the upcoming updates, although not the next one.
The question for you is: if you were to watch one of your female friends having sex with a bloke, which position would you prefer?
The options are:
Missionary
Doggy-style
Cowgirl

2016-06-22 02:33:41 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, not much to say at the moment. I was working on some new additions to how Relationships work for friends, but that was getting a bit frustrating, so I've switched over to doing custom female NPCs instead. Hopefully the other stuff will go more smoothly once I get back to it and you'll get both in the next version.
Thank you so much for the support this month!
2016-05-31 23:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, here's version 0.3.22. Changelog will be on the blog shortly. Have fun!
Edit: Changelog is at http://splendidostrich.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/newlife-0322.html
Well, a question about your character's virginity, not yours. It'd be quite a personal thing to ask on Patreon otherwise!
I'm putting together some virginity-related text for the next release and, while sketching out a set of possible actions, I've realised that there are a huge number of possible answers to a certain question.
I h...
2016-05-10 18:02:54 +0000 UTC View PostHi there,
There's a few different options for the next release, and I'm not sure which I'll go with.
However, one that's definitely near the top is the "hang out with your friends" activity. This is one of two big friend-related activities that still need to be done, along with the house-party one.
Unlike the ...

2016-04-30 23:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostHi all!
For 0.3.21 I'm working on a new random event which will fire when you have an Innocent friend.
The main path is that she's being pushed into performing in a bondage stage-show. Something which, as a sweet & innocent type of girl, she's totally uncomfortable with. Instead, you take her place and pretend to be her. ...

2016-03-31 06:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, I've counted up the results for this month's vote and the winner is Party-Girl. Thanks for voting!
Hi!
For the next release I'm working on an alternative to the club scene - one where you go to a bar with a female friend.
The club is one of the massive scenes that's grown huge over years of work, so to keep it simple I'm just going to have it with party-girl npcs at first, and the others will get added in later updates. 2016-03-28 03:25:12 +0000 UTC View Post
Hi all, I'm running a short vote on what to put time into during the next release. Results will be counted on Tuesday 29th.
I have some ideas for extending the friendship paths in the female npc
befriend scene. These would be done as either short extensions or small
mini-scenes, not large new scenes with lots of choices. Even so...
2016-03-23 17:27:03 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
Here's another updated version of 0.3.19. This one fixes the bug with an error showing up in some circumstances after oral sex in the new scene. It also fixes the issue with the female-start casual outfit that Alliterative Acolyte reported in his or her comment on the 0.3.19b post.
