kvier Wrote:Just guessing, since the changelog says it's a threesome... either an extension of the house party or of the gym scene.
One problem with answering so late is that I've forgotten where I can copy previous answers from, so in short:
- As socialisation events for Innocent or Party Girl NPCs that are virgins. The innocent one is a follow-up to the gallery event and requires you to have encouraged her to have sex.
- If you ask to watch when a sophisticated girl asks to sleep with one of the blokes in your house party
- From some possible paths during the shy work-colleague event chain
- In a socialisation event where you help an unattractive male friend find someone.

I absolutely love this game. The fantasy in it is wonderful and I have to say that I do love the rp put into the sex scenes. better than a large amount of cybersex I've had in the past >.> I've posted some of the rp (Hilariously enough, a scene where I'm going down on a guy that resembles jabba the hut cause I lost a hand in a card game) and have turned some friends on to the game.
Haha, thank you
I hope you had a good time with Jabba.Fortilicious Wrote:- While the rp is wonderful, alot of text in the scenes gets repetative very quickly. I celebrate your erotic imagination, but then balk at the same time when it comes to lines like "he thrusts his penis into your vagina" that just leave it at that. Reminds me of the aforementioned cybersex I've endured in the past. If you like, are you taking entrees for people willing to lend thier imaginations to your project? I wouldn't be looking to take up any of your patreon earnings, if you're afraid of that.
This is a fairly well-timed question as I'm currently working on a guide to submissions. The problem with Newlife is that the code and text are heavily intertwined in a way which prevents short-story style submissions. My aim is to provide a framework for pseudocode ones that I could convert into actual scenes.
The guide will definitely need some extensive revisions - I suspect the first version will be painfully hard to use due to the large number of internal variables that need to be considered in writing new content.
I'll be doing some test runs with a small group of brave volunteers when the initial draft is ready, and then I'll make a proper blog post about it once the guide's ready for wider release. So, either wait for that post or if you really want to suffer through the original version pop me a PM here and I'll be in touch when I have a first draft.
Incidentally, if you do run into a line that's especially poor then you can copy-paste it into a post here and I'll have a look at it. There's still a lot of stuff in there from the old 0.1.x days that isn't really up to the standard of newer content. I'm running into a lot of it with the new anal scene I'm writing at the moment: a lot of actions from the newish doggy scene can be transferred across with minor modifications but ones from older sex scenes often need to be completely rewritten.
Fortilicious Wrote:- One thing I'm not too much a fan of is that each guy apparently only has the ability to climax once per day. Except for during the card game at your parties. Any chance of allowing the guys to have multiple orgasms as well? I think it'd especially compliment those 'jerks' that dominate/use the PC as nothing but a willing fuck toy. Especially if they are studly. Perhaps attach the trait to if they have larger testicle sizes...
This is a gameplay decision. The sex scenes are among the game's largest and most complex, but a player can still expect to see them many many times during a playthrough. The restriction is there to stop players seeing the scenes dozens of times in the first few months and getting tired of them before reaching later content such as having a boyfriend.
Fortilicious Wrote:- For the Club:
- There's been times when I've wanted to get to a sex scene at the club (so I could unleash my slut side and have multiple men in one night), but due to randomization (I think?), even if the guy had a 'jerk' mentality, he wouldn't take me to the bathroom for makeout, but rather drag out the entire night with drinking and I'd end up waiting till we got back to my flat. Are you considering allowing the player to suggest the makeout session?
I like having actions that are restricted to the NPCs, as it gives the player an incentive to let the NPC make decisions instead of controlling everything that happens themselves. It also provides a sharper contrast between different types of NPC.
Fortilicious Wrote:You describe the dance floor as crowded and far too loud to have conversation, but the only the only option we get is to dance. Granted, there's the random encounter with the lesbian pair, but in that, you allow the PC to reach orgasm and it's a very erotic scene. Any plans to allow gropings/sex to happen on the club dancefloor, similar to the 'gig' date?
No short-term plans, although I wouldn't rule it out in the long-term. It isn't something I'm opposed to as such, just that there's too much other stuff to be working on first.
Fortilicious Wrote:I've seen you address this at the wiki for this game, and I responded there.
I should point out that the wiki is a player resource, and I generally don't post there directly. Most of the stuff on the Q&A page was written based on things I've said on other sites though.
Fortilicious Wrote: But I've seen that you seem against the idea of gloryholes, strip clubs and prostitution.
Well, strip clubs I'm a bit open minded on, although not as a full-time player career. Similarly prostitution-type events such as a PC trying to pay her rent with sex are likely to be added at some point. Again though, I don't want the player to become a full-time professional prostitute though.
This is for a few reasons.
Firstly, while there are exceptions for gameplay reasons and I sometimes let myself get carried away and write silly or whimsical content, Newlife's setting is supposed to more-or-less boil down to "live the life of an ordinary young woman". A prostitute or stripper career wouldn't really mesh with that.
Secondly, Newlife's interactive sex scenes are one of the things I'm most proud of about the game, but they do take more time to play through than a simpler implementation. This means that a career based around having sex would run into gameplay issues.
Third, there are other games out there which have been designed to be prostitute simulators and because their design is centered on that content, they work better for it than Newlife could.
Fortilicious Wrote:I bring this up here for the topic of gloryholes... the atmosphere of this club, especially the bathroom, is ripe for a gloryhole. A PC could, if allowed, visit the restroom herself and perhaps "be surprised" by an anonymous cock coming through the stall wall, twitching invitingly. You could randomize the traits based on already set parameters chosen for the males presented, or (even better) even pull the parameters at random to enhance the reality of it being a stranger's cock (one that the character may not have otherwise chosen) that the player will have fun with. It'd add a great and naughty aspect to the game. And even open up more rp situations where if the PC does become pregnant, the doctor clinic identifies someone that they do not even know as the father.
As for gloryholes, the content in the club is largely based on things I've seen in real-life. People having sex in the bathrooms, yes although it isn't as common IRL as in Newlife. Gloryholes? I've never seen one in a club that I've been in.
I'm also not especially into gloryhole content - I wouldn't say that I hate it and I certainly would prefer it over anal, but it isn't really a fetish of mine. I might change my mind in the future if I come up with an idea I find inspring: this happened with the BDSM club idea. Otherwise though, I'm unlikely to add it.
Fortilicious Wrote:Conversation option, for when you have the attention of a man. It's everywhere else in the game except for the club, even when you're not on the dancefloor!
I don't think the normal conversation action would work in a club - it's different in some other countries, but in the UK most nightclubs turn the music up too high to be able to have an actual conversation - although the game does let you talk to the female NPC so it isn't exactly consistent.
I also quite like how you meet NPCs in the club but have to take them home or go on an actual date before you can really get to know them.
I might at some point add an alternative conversation action for clubs where you're mostly shouting at each other, but that won't be a short-term thing.
Fortilicious Wrote:- True threesomes and gangbangs! Jerks may sometimes be selfish, but if they view a woman as an object to be used, they tend to be willing to share with thier mates. You already have this with the Gym jerk and Horse, but the PC can only take them one at a time. You also sorta have this during the scenes where the 'Party Girl' friend wants to have one of the party guests and you request to watch... but mostly all you do is just watch with an occasional cop-a-feel. Giving the option to be double penetrated by both the Gym Jerk and Horse would be heavenly! And this option is ripe for the gang scene as well during the shy friend storyline as well. You present it as the PC is aroused at the idea of allowing these guys to take thier frustrations on her, but only one guy steps forward to do the deed even tho a scene description presents 3 guys. Maybe extend the scene (similar to the BDSM club) in having the 1st guy present you to the others and give the PC the option to entice them all, leaving her as a cum-covered mess after being used by 3 guys. Maybe a random modifier to make it that if they meet aforementioned requirements, they go at her individually as well before/after the gangbang. Again, I'm stressing that the PC is given the choice after the 1st guy. I can understand wanting to stay away from the idea of rape.
Threesomes have major difficulties assoiated with them in a game like Newlife that maps out sex scenes in detail. The problem is that with more participants the complexity of interactions increases multiplicatively. A general threesome scene would be way larger and more complicated than the 2p ones, and that makes it a poor choice for new content: the existing scenes already take a long time to write, so the time needed for a 3p one would be prohibitively long.
A more specific one would be more realistic, i.e. where the personalities etc of the NPCs are pre-set to cut down on possibilities. For instance, a scene just for Horse and his friend. That has the problem though of a large scene being written for one very specific situation in the game, when a general 2p scene available in any date could probably be added in the same amount of time.
In short: unless a PMW vote brings in a specific-situation one, threesomes aren't likely to be added to Newlife.
Fortilicious Wrote:Again, amazing game. Thank you so much for your time spent in creating it. This game honestly has the potential to be another great erotic MUD on parallel in fame to Corruption of Champions!
Thanks! Although, Corruption of Champions is quite the high bar to set...
Ephrian Wrote:@splendidostrich: Hi, first of all, congratulations for your work/game, its absolutely outstanding! I even recently became a patron cause i do love it a lot. Do you plan to have your game translated ? If you do, i might be able to give you a hand on that
Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying it and many thanks for your support
I think translation would have to wait until development is finished. At the moment I'm often rewriting and adding to scenes so it isn't in a good state for translation. For instance while working on the anal scene I've made a lot of small changes to the existing doggy-style one in order to reflect improvements I'm making for the PMW release.
The code and text are also intertwined in a way that would make it very difficult to translate compared to games that are designed to support that sort of thing.
I can definitely see the benefit to translations and I appreciate the offer, but the time isn't right for it at the moment. That's definitely something I'd want for the final version, but of course that's quite a long time in the future.
