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

I undestand and I agree with most of what you all have written. It might just get tiresome to read month after month the same old story about the delays, lack of SO's commitment, tiny amount of content etc. You know how they work, and especially because this goes on from many years, you shouldn't expect anything else.

I think people are just tired from games, especially the ones with potential never being finished, or being milked while the creator doesn't seem to show interest on finishing it. As much as you're right about not expecting much considering the track record, its still frustrating. Speaking as a previous patron of them.

Hey has anyone built any new content for this game to share? Its one of the few games that seems to support people adding to it and I'm curious whether anyone's written any story paths.

I've now read more and understand it's all written on spaghetti trash code. Sad to hear, wish someone would do a rebuild of this that was more open to community content.

FWIW, I've played this game since soon after the first version was released and love it, but it hasn't changed much from then to now if we're being honest. There have been some expansions for sure, but the game has been in development for seven fucking years - it should have a lot more content than it did even three or four years ago.

I'm in the same boat, heh. Was one of his... not first, but certainly earlier patrons, back when a monthly update consisted of what we get in about 6 months now.
Remember when his stated intent was to have the game finished around 2017?

10 days and counting with no update, and radio silence on both his blog and patreon. anyone in the discord know what's happening, or is he silent there too?

It's silent too. And it looks that admins don't know what is going on.

Hey, maybe SO had enough and this is how it finally ends? Dev going silent and patrons still being milked for months after is a fitting finale for this game, I imagine.

I don't think so, situations like this happened before, most probably the update will be postponed till next month and he will not charge his patrons. You don't kill such fruitful business that easy.

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.

Where can I find user submitted content of the game ?

New stuff is on the discord and everything older is in the game.

If you decide to join the discord make sure you do not mention this site. It will not go well.

How do you get the option to, after catching your SO cheating, to admit that he has a right to cheat?

Also the option where he tells you he's cheating because the other woman is so much better at sex?

I don't mean the "lets have an open relationship" option.

I assume its a "low self esteem" option, but I can never get it to trigger.

Pretty sure it's "low self-esteem" and "jerk" husband if you're talking about what I think you are. I just went in and triggered it just fine on my file with those traits.

And again here we are, 6.0 "update" which adds absolutely no new content. 4 years into development and still nothing...
He's gonna milk his patrons that are dying out quickly up to the very last one.

6.0 is actually last months update as well lmao, he still hasn't bothered uploading anything this month.

Hey guys, I was just wondering exactly how to work the NPC character creator thingy. Thanks!

 

[Collectivee]

Are there any games like this one?

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.

tbh, I thought Cursed was miles ahead of this game in terms of meaningful content. Only problem now is that it's abandoned and it runs on that RAGs engine which is a big piece of shit.

I really miss Cursed.
