So what do I do to get the job? I can't pass the interview and so I can never get a job. The only time I succeeded was when I started a game and the boss was trying to flirt with me, but I restarted and the game I started now all he does is keep asking me the same normal questions every week and saying I didn't pass no matter how I've answered.

Also, as an aside; maybe part of the reason the dev doesn't update much is that his thread is full of people constantly being so negative? IDK I just started playing this game after yesterday's update came up, maybe he deserves it LOL but I don't think acting like jerks probably encourages anyone to work on their projects.

No, Ostrich has been acting like this since he started getting a decent patreon paycheck. He doesn't have any desire to actually make the game anymore. He's quite content to put out minor updates after a month of "work", so he can pull in that sweet sheep $.

Simply put, and former patrons like me can tell you undoubtedly, every bit of shit he's given, he deserves.

Well like I said maybe he deserves it IDK but probably won't do anything to bitch about it then. Does anyone have any idea how to get the job though? Or should I just restart the game until I get the pervert boss?

Of course it does something, by bitching I can make it clear to people that they shouldn't waste their money on this.

As for the boss, isn't there a trait that makes you better at convincing people? Try that.

Damn, this must have been the fastest update of this game in a couple of years at least! Has the monthly check from patreon started to feel a bit thin lately?

Also, I've always disliked the "once per game" random events in this game, that needs to to have certain traits to even trigger. Lets hope this one at least isn't hidden behind an annoying trait-wall.

I second the opinion about "once per game" events. Fortunately this one is quite easy to trigger, and one can check its requirements in the corresponding file.

Maybe a strange (and random) question, but why can't an inept_lover like(s)_going_down? Those two are supposedly opposed to each other, but... just because he's INEPT at it, doesn't mean he can't LIKE it.

if you go into game data and copy all the "official scenes" and drop them into the User Created Content folder you play any of thoses scenes whenevre you want.

I mean, it's only been a week since the last update, what do you expect? 3 new scenes are plenty. I doubt they keep up this pace though.
3 new scenes all created by users, none by Splendid Ostrich. The update before that had no sexual scene, only the option to apply for the only job there is in the game. So while for once there were fast updates, there was very little added by Splendid Ostrich themselves.

Version 0.5.2:
You're seriously the best, doing this for every update :love:. But could I trouble you into uploading it somewhere else, please? For some reason that specific download's not working, and I tried the app too, it keeps retrying.

Check the OP, there you'll find download mirrors.

He does deserve it. As said by PoyntFury Splendid only does it for the money, has no interest in furthering the game other than adding user-submitted content. The latest update has 3 scenes, all added by users who get not a penny while Splendid rakes in the rewards. He explicably mentions this in the user-submitted text: "...you won't get paid for submitting content. While paid commissions are something I'll be considering in the longer term I'll never be taking random submissions for them: I'd contact people with a good record of writing adult content and discuss it with them ahead of time. Do not write submissions to Newlife with the aim of making money." SO has shown no interest in contacting skilled writers, but rather relying on his Discord users to submit content.

The idea of being disrespectful/mean to a game developer isn't appealing, that you have a point, but to shrug it off as unwarranted isn't correct. SO is clearly milking his patreons, posting one version a month at the start of the month to avoid working for the rest of the month. Adding a custom scene isn't too difficult, though his spaghetti code makes it harder than what it should be. Anyway, this has been discussed to death and I'm igniting a fire by replying. Just letting you know what's up with all the hate. Sorry for bringing this up for the 1000th time.

For the job do you mean the sales boss not giving you the promotion? Say, you ask him with the options "Flirt, Charm Him, etc."? I haven't played Newlife too much lately but pretty sure that's what you're talking about. Keep your stress low so you do well at work. Keeping it low is easy, everything apart from getting specific scenes in Newlife is easy. Rest at home, buy stuff for your apartment, build a character that excels at work (ambitious trait, business wardrobe so you don't waste hours doing a wardrobe like I do). You can also create custom NPC's, thus eliminating the randomizing factor. You can make a Sales_Boss character that likes your character. Or use the posted version on this page to use cheats and set all skills set to max with the cheat that has everyone like you. You can join his Discord and find the latest version of the custom character creator.

Hope you like the game. It's a blast to explore and I've had tons of fun making outfits. Sadly once you speed through the game and know the ins-and-outs of most scenes you kinda grow tired of it since there's, in reality, not that much content. Sex scenes repeat. No threesomes. No lesbian scenes. The game has been in production for years but doesn't have that much variety, though there is some specific scenes I haven't seen since the criteria to see them are just too much work to be enjoyable.

(all that stuff that you said)
cool yeah that sucks and no i mean the actual initial job interview i think it says in change log its a new feature so maybe thats why most people don't know what im talking about. it's cool though i just restarted until I got the pervy boss and he let me join the office. i don't know if you need a certain charm skill, or if it is just hard to pass the interview, but i've never been able to do it unless the boss is "sleazy" and trying to ask me questions about what underwear im wearing and stuff.

that's short sighted, because it opens so much potential. Id love to have my lesbian lover and I both knocked up by the same guy or have to deal with competing with guys in seducing a woman at the club. It would also be nice for the girl dance scenerio to finally go somewhere.
There are some possibilities there yes but i'd MUCH rather have non consent, rape, more jobs (example whoring, camgirl), humiliation, public nudity, voyeurism, getting drunk at the home party and being gangbanged by everyone on the couch, and much more kinky stuff rather than lesbianism which for me personally is at the very bottom of that list. But to each their own i guess... ;-)
