Hi all!
For the end of last month I was mostly working on game two, unfortunately still on the UI which isn't exactly enjoyable work. I've made some significant improvements but it'll be a long time yet before there's anything to show people.
I've now shifted onto Newlife again, and for the next release I'm doin...
2020-07-03 13:35:54 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
From July 1st, Patreon will be charging sales tax for people in certain countries, including the US. AFAIK EU patrons will not see any change because we've already been paying VAT on our pledges.
I've updated my tiers with benefit-types using a system that Patreon has set up, and they'll use these to figure out which ones are...
2020-06-25 19:25:02 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, here's version 0.6.4 of Newlife. This is the start of the Work & Careers update, beginning with the splitting of the advanced Sales jobs into two paths alongside some improvements to how work skills are dealth with.
Have fun, and let me know if you find any bugs!

2020-06-24 16:39:38 +0000 UTC View PostHi all!
I'm starting the work & careers releases by adding a branch to the sales career: it'll now split into sales-manager and elite-saleswoman paths. Which promotion you're offered first will be random, but you can refuse a promotion to wait for the next one.
This means adding a new skill (management) so I...
2020-06-15 10:40:45 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, here's an updated version of 0.6.3 with fixes to some bugs that were reported in the first release:
Fixes to text issues. Thanks to Saint Destiny for reporting some of these.
Fixed an issue reported by JulianR.Amazing where the HYPNOTIST trait could not be added to custom NPCs.
Fixed an error reported by Sain...
2020-06-03 03:21:34 +0000 UTC View PostHi all! Here's Newlife 0.6.3, adding a new sex scene that's reached from the sitting makeout.
Changelog:
Major changes & additions:
Added a new sex scene: face-down on the sofa.
Updated the sitting makeout to support transitions to sofa sex as well as escalation to more intense makeout situations...
2020-06-02 07:10:35 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
Progress has been quite good on the new sex content this month, but there's still a few little things to finish off and I've got to the point in the night where I'm too tired to reliably finish it off without risking sleepiness-induced bugs.
So, you can expect the update tomorrow. There's very little left ...
Hi all!
I'm pleased to say that progress on the sitting sex scene seems to be going well so far. This will be a bit more challenging than a typical sex scene because I need to make broader changes to the makeout scene and some of my plans there are a bit ambitious. Still, I'm optimistic that it'll come out well without too much crunch at t...
2020-05-10 01:31:29 +0000 UTC View PostHi all!
I've checked the results of the last vote, and it turns out it actually was a tie between Homes & Money and Work & Career. As the tie-breaker, I'm counting a comment left by a voter who missed the deadline by 1 day which means the final victor is Work and Career.
I won't be starting on this from the next update ...
2020-04-27 23:03:44 +0000 UTC View PostHi all! Here's version 0.6.2. I'm spending these between-major-updates versions to do a few things that don't fit cleanly into any of the major updates. This one adds a sitting makeout option that will happen instead of the standing one if you're sitting down during a date at home.
This is a little limited at the moment because there's no ...
2020-04-22 22:54:53 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, the release is nearly ready: I delayed it a little because I wanted to do a few side changes like rewriting the male orgasm text in the makeout scene but it's still virtually there.
I still need to test things and look over online bug reports, but unless I get massively sidetracked you can expect it out quite soon.
I'll need ...
2020-04-22 00:38:39 +0000 UTC View PostHi all. Do you dream of sitting down, maybe on a sofa? Is your deepest, most erotic fantasy one that takes place with your feet up? Well, next release will be one for you!
Specifically, I'm going to add the third and final makeout scene: a seated one to go with the current standing and lying-down makeouts.
This will make use of some ...
2020-04-03 08:07:36 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, here's an update to 0.6.1. I've also replaced the file in the original release post. This one should, I think, fix a problem with saves not loading in yesterday's release.
2020-04-01 14:37:43 +0000 UTC View PostHello and remain indoors. I hope you're all staying healthy. I've been struggling with anxiety recently but I seem to have managed to steer clear of the coronavirus so far.
Here's the latest Newlife release - it could use some more testing but my head isn't in the right place at the moment so I'm putting it out and I'll pick up any bug rep...
2020-03-31 16:26:17 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, I'm afraid the release isn't really in a fit state to be put out just yet. I expect it'll be delayed by a few days. My apologies, but I don't want to release content that isn't good enough.
I hope the extra time will let me polish up some content you'll really enjoy though and I hope you're all having a good end to the month and ca...
2020-02-29 22:05:07 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
It's time to vote on the next major update. This will be the 0.6.x updates, finishing with version 0.7.0.
The options are the same as last time, except that I'm adding a new "UI rework" option:
Lesbian Content:
- Lesbian variants of the club, town-date, home-date, sleep-together a...
Hi all,
I've just counted up the results for the "prove me wrong" vote that ran last month.
After adding the extra votes for patrons at the "super-voter" tier, the winner was option 4: "Your private video is leaked on the internet!". This beat the runner-up ("Seduced on your wedding day!") by 3 votes.
I'll be working...
2020-02-02 00:07:05 +0000 UTC View PostHi all! Here's Newlife 0.6.0, the final update in the improved pregnancy release.
I found a lot of bugs in testing so optimistically that might mean there aren't many left... less optimistically it's possible that this is just a buggy release in general. We'll see!
The next update will be PMW - I'll count ...
2020-02-01 02:35:16 +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 at the end of the month and implement whatever wins in February.
Here are the voting options. You can vote for more than o...
2020-01-23 01:08:58 +0000 UTC View PostHi all!
As you may have noticed, I'm late for the PMW release for 2019, so there'll need to be 2 this year with the next one in February. 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 pu...
2020-01-13 16:09:22 +0000 UTC View PostHappy New Year to you! I hope you're doing well. I've been celebrating the new year by filling in my tax return. Such a thrill.
The next release of Newlife will contain a scene where one of your female friends visits and you play with your baby together. The idea is that this will spark an interest in having children in her - it...
2020-01-05 00:31:48 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, and a happy new year if you're reading this after midnight!
Here's version 0.5.7 of Newlife. I was preparing a 2nd scene for this release, but it isn't ready yet - you'll get it in the next version along with some other baby-making content I'd like to get into the game.
I expect the next release to be the final one in this ma...
2019-12-31 23:41:38 +0000 UTC View PostHi all! I hope you're all having a great holiday, regardless of whether it's a Christian Christmas, another religious holiday, or a thoroughly atheistic celebration. And, for those of you in countries that don't have holidays at this time, I hope you're having a very merry Wednesday.
I'm still beavering away at the next release,...

2019-12-01 18:58:34 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, here's Newlife 0.5.6 aka the milky update.
Major changes & additions:
Improvements to lactation: See the Minor Changes section for details.

The PC will now continue lactating for a while after giving birth.
New trait: Milky. This make...
2019-11-30 17:36:16 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
I've been struck down with a chest infection so progress has been slow so far this month - my doctor's prescribed me some antibiotics and hopefully they'll clear things up soon and I'll be back on form for the end of the month.
I've been working on lactation content - focusing for now on adding new actions to the sex scenes. ...
2019-11-15 11:27:11 +0000 UTC View PostHi all! Here's an updated version with some bug fixes:
Minor changes:
Doubled the cooldowns between refusing a promotion and it being offered again.
Added a not now choice to the initial street prostitution random event. This is similar to refuse but it allows the event to fire again later in the game.
...
2019-11-04 05:10:10 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, here's version 0.5.5 of Newlife.
Major changes & additions:
New party-girl path to the events added in the last release, with a new final scene where you convince her to get bred by challenging her to dares.
Added the street-prostitution scenes written by Secondarian. The first will appear as a once-per-g...
2019-11-03 04:15:34 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, there'll be a short delay in the next release. I think I can get it out tomorrow but it doesn't feel realistic tonight.
Overall this has been a hard month and a lot comes down to stress. I think I need a bit of a change in how I'm doing development because I'm struggling to make any progress on game-two and if something ...
2019-11-01 02:35:46 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, here's the newest version of Newlife. This one focuses on a four-scene chain where you help a friend or boyfriend impregnate another woman.
I have some thoughts on how to extend this further so you can expect more next release - in particular the current scene only works for Innocent NPCs, but I want to try out an alternative final...
