Newlife 0.7.8 (Patreon)

Hi all, Newlife 0.7.8 is finally done - sorry about the delay.

This one includes the sleep-together and next-morning scenes for lesbian dates. The other main addition - and one which took far longer than I'd been anticipating - is a rework of how Newlife handles name and race.

There's a couple of consequences from this. First, race and name are now linked. Each race has a weighted selection of namelists which determine which names can be used. This means that you'll see middle-eastern characters with arabic names, black ones with african names and so on. Everyone still has some chance of using the "general" namelist.

Secondly, all the race information has been moved to an external file: raceData.json in the main folder. This can be edited by players, allowing you to customise things to your own preference. Remember to back it up before installing a new version though as it'll otherwise be overwritten. 

By the way, the default lists of names were put together based on lists I could easily find online and omissions aren't intended as a slight on any left-out cultures.

If you think there's some namelist that should be in the game, then if you can put together a selection of names and I'll be happy to add them in.

Changelog:

Major changes & additions:

Rewrote race/name handling. This has two main impacts: first, names are now related to a character's race and secondly this is now read from an external file (raceData.json, in the main Newlife folder) which can be changed by players. 

Added sleep-together and next-morning scenes for lesbian dates.

Minor changes:

Increased the weight for the event where you're given the choice of asking out the office hunk.

It's now possible to change into a sexy-nightwear outfit early on in a home-date. Changing to regular nightwear still only unlocks later, but the sexy outfit isn't being worn to sleep...

Following a suggestion over PM on patreon, save files now have a default name. 

Changes for user-submitted content:

Added nameListId to custom NPC files of both types. This is used to pick their name if it isn't set, and is also used if they end up naming one of the PC's children in-game.

Updated the documentation so that the LIKES_OLDER trait is no longer incorrectly listed as LIKES_OLDER_MEN. Thanks to Stochastic for reporting this.

Bugfixes:

Fixes to text issues. Thanks to Zab, Sync, Rafflesia and  Zoffer for reporting some of these.

Fixed an issue reported by Kitsune where swapping numbers with another woman could tell the PC that future dating was not implemented, even though it now is.

Fixed an issue reported by sync where the “feel her bum” action wasn't properly handling some clothing possibilities.

Fixed an issue where the cooking scene would error if you were rude to the instructor. Thanks to Toastee for reporting this and DoctaSax for pinpointing the problem.

Fixed an error with assigning the lesbian virgin state when creating some female npcs.

Fixed a line in the next morning scene that hadn't been updated to reflect the PC being able to have hair that isn't long.

Have fun and please let me know if you find any bugs!
