Well it's built on Python, so you can do whatever Python can do, I wouldn't really attribute that to Renpy... Which, again, only exposes VN functionality and for a purely text based game I just have to wonder... Why? I'm not familiar with the games you mentioned, but they seem to at least contain cg. If your game is purely text based with lots of variations depending on different attributes, then why use Renpy? You wouldn't try to hammer in a screw or screw in a nail. Sugarcube/Twine is way more tailored toward this type of game.

thanks for replying but I did the same out of curiosity and it worked but didn't reinstall java apparently it's built in Mac already
using a vn library to make a text based adult rpg sounds pretty pants on head tier decision making
so it would be right in line with the other decisions the average erotic game dev makes

Are you able to load templates and custom NPCs? I can play the game now but it won’t load anything so I would have to do a new run every time I play lol. Maybe the upcoming OSX Monterey will fix everything.
Using Ren'Py for a text based porn game is pretty much the same thing as using Sugarcube for a porn game. And we know how many hundreds of those there are.
If anything, you could argue that most "text based porn games" have the same overall structure/gameplay of a VN, just with less images (unless you're (un)lucky enough to play those with 5GB of random, immersion breaking porn gifs)
Even a text-based game needs to render text. Renpy brings UI scaling for free, which Newlife lacks, but would profit from.
Java is not really suited for desktop applications as there is no decent UI library for Java. Java is great for headless (no UI) applications.
One of the few games you could serve time in prison or go through a coma and not worry about missing any significant updates.

Noob question here. Is there any way to make Horse have specific traits?
EDIT: nvm, figured out how to edit saves

from the game folder where you have the .jar/.exe --- newlife_gamedata\saves <<<<
the new saves are now .json files, that can be opened up with any text editor.
If you use Notepad++, it should come with the json viewer plugin, so go into the plugins menu at the top, to JSON Viewer, then hit Format Json. It will take the long string of text and then break it out into more easily readable sections.
Plus again with it in Notepad++, after you do that, you can use the +/- on the side to expand and contract the various sections to help navigate too.
You can then save it that way and the game will still interpret it correctly, as long as your edits are clean and within the variables scope/range.
Already caught myself a few times forgetting commas or quotes in various sections causing issues, but the error that comes up in the game usually has the row/column (after using the above Format JSON option) where theres an issue.
Another thing I noticed is some variables where you might expect to have a "0" (zero) to represent "no data", it actually instead uses "null" typed out.

Sure, I just don't get why no one simply links to the archive when there's an update.
It's like hiding the dls to the games itself and saying "well you know where to get it".

Thank you kind Sir, i don't use Discord and i refuse to give them my phone number, for some reason they want it during register.
Why it's so hard for people to understand that they do it on purpose? so they can keep getting those montly $hekels??
the game is an excuse for their montly salary, the whole thing is a scam.
once a patreon game reaches certain level of popularity and the dev likes the money he's getting, if he finishes the game he will stop getting that amount monthly so he never finishes it.

Absolutely incredible change log. The amount of effort this must take is truly staggering.
Honestly, I'm beginning to think SO actually doesn't do anything at all anymore and just has a stockpile of updates made years in advance. And SO just pulls one from the pile at random to throw at us 1st of the month, every month.
