Java Newlife [v0.8.8b] [Splendid Ostrich]

[Unknownuser00]

Are there any games like this one?

There are a number, many of which can be found using this site. But it also depends what aspect you are looking for.
Female protagonist, Transformation, Simulation/Management, Text Based, ETC.
Corruption of Champions, Degrees of Lewdity, Good Girl Gone Bad, Lilith's Throne, Trap Quest, Girl Life, Life Play, Hard Times in Hornstown, and Accidental Woman to name an obvious few.
TfGames also has lists that contains many, most seem to be abandoned or on hold though.

Unfortunately this is the best game of this kind. There is Accidental Woman which is shit and there are some other HTML and QSP grinding games which are okay if you like grinding.

Calling Accidental Woman shit while calling Newlife the best, in my opinion is a falsehood. Just comparing their monthly updates side by side is pretty stark. However Accidental Woman also has a development plan, blog updates about recent progress and has only been supported for half the time Newlife has.
Even so, both still lack content yet is seems clear which one is moving towards its potential.

I would say avoid the genre since updates are wholly dependent on the team working on it. Some are fast and others hit roadblocks called internal squabbling over who does which task on a community project.

IMO the best game is probably Girl Life. The qsp ui is horribly unintuitive but it has a lot of content. It is very grindy, but you can use the cheat menu to turn off hunger/thirst.

The best game is modded sims 4, it's literally better than newlife in every aspects. But you have to invest a certain amount of time in modding the game properly.

Really? Is there any dialogue at all regarding events? Slowly seeing stats go up or down and then randomly seeing an NPC fucking another NPC (Do you even have any influence at all? I don't know because I never played modded) without any backstory (Which is my impression of what it would be) doesn't seem "better than newlife in every aspect".

Then again I have been surprised with modding communities before so I wouldn't say it's not possible (perhaps even relatively easy, but just seems so "un-like" sims), but I am definitely skeptical

Yeah, there are plenty of other games with pregnancy and female protagonists out there, but many of them don't go too deep on events, its mostly just porn. Its one of the reasons I like text based games, since their focus is not the visual they have to get creative. The Sims 4 mods are pretty cool but I don't think they're quite there yet when it comes to interactions and events as you mentioned.

I see, I thought as much. And you're right on point regarding "having to get creative". Just showing genitalia interacting really is as shallow as it gets, no matter how pretty one might make it look. There's so much more to it than that; the story behind the characters, how they get to that point (Slowly corrupting/falling in love) and the consequences of it all. It would really surprise me if The Sims 4 has mods (right now) that can provide that kind of level.

Anyone can provide info on major update vote for version 0.7?

 

[LewdNayshin]

You can get back to be a male but you will stay as a 'female' all play-through.

We have no idea sadly, not even the people running SO's discord do. When or if Splendid Ostrich comes out of hiding is when we'll find out what is being done.

Grade A ethics right there.

Coincidentally 2017 is when he finally started losing patreons and stopped displaying his monthly earnings altogether.

I've been following this game since 2015 (at one point I was even supporting the $20 tier) and the fact that you still can't even have a change of job speaks wonders. The core mechanics and weekly layout have failed to receive any substantial updates whilst every update seems to consist of once a play-through scenes that can only be achieved if you met an arbitrary number of traits (which really means SO needs to write less as they don't need to factor in every trait combo). Personally I also think its rather greedy that SO wants to not only earn money via Patreon but also work a full time job, his patreon earnings when they were last displayed were well above average for a UK citizen when you factor in patreon cut/tax etc.

Funny enough 90% of the game was finished in the first year. And for more than 1.5k per month you get nothing but bug fixing for 4 years. If that doesnt scream scammer I dont know what will. You dont get rich by working hard. You get rich by stealing from others.

 

[doom12321]

Find it funny that she could take time to wish people happy new year twice and complain about tax when she literally being a parasite to her supporter. The level of awareness that she have.

 

[EmptyBottle]

Hmm... did the carona virus get SO early on?
On that note, how many projects on here do you think went dark because creator died and no one in their personal lives knew that they were developing a porn game?
Food for thought while we wait for any news.

 

[dayryuu1995]

He's gonna show up eventually and say he got the corona virus and was really screwed up because of his existing health issues but somehow managed to recover.
In the meantime he can forget about the game for a bit again while still milking his patreons. When he returns he also gets a slow start cause he will still be recovering.
It's what I would do if I was running his racket.

 

[Pajonk]

Yeah I know how SO works and about his hand injury, but as long as you aren't paying you can't complain, if you want you can even play the game legally for free and if you are paying and you really don't like how it's progressing just stop. It's people who pay for shit that ruin the industry.
The game is not a person to care about it's a product and SOs property if he wishes to develop it as he is it's his choice.

Well all of his patrons and fans of the game DISAGREE with his choices and the pace of development so CLEARLY there is something very wrong with his choices huh? Perhaps he should make different choices?

Well that's funny all people disagree about his choices and yet they pay him. The people who pay decided they want more pregnancy content and well he added some, maybe not much but looking at the amount of paying patrons not changing much lately it seems they are content. And for the rest of the fanbase, they might show him how they think he should work but he doesn't really have to care about their wishes.
Before making dumb STATEMENTS do some facts check.
I don't know how about you but if I would strongly disagree with something I wouldn't be paying for it.
F95 is just a place for us cheap wankers looking for free usually pirate content. Nobody really cares about our opinions here.

 

[Thereisnospoon]

It's really funny to see some people arguing with "Don't criticize if you're not a patron!" and then another dude saying "They criticize and yet they pay him".

So which one is it going to be?

Nothing is true, everything is permitted.
