Submissions Guide
Submissions Guide
This is the instructions on how to submit scenes for inclusion in the game.
You should read the permissions statement before you start writing for Newlife and check
that it's something you can agree with.
When you're ready to submit your content, see the How To Submit section.
Permissions Statement
To submit content to Newlife you must agree with the below statement. Your message or
post containing the files should clearly contain stating that you do so.
– You are giving the game's developer ("Splendid Ostrich") permanent and
irrevocable rights to do whatever they wish with all submitted content with no
limitations. This includes but is not limited to the right to make modifications,
removals and additions to it and to include it in the game.
– You confirm that you're at least 18 years of age and that there are no legal reasons
why you shouldn't be submitting adult content.
– You confirm that you hold the copyright to submitted content and that there are no
legal reasons why it could not be used in Newlife.
– You understand that you will not be reimbursed financially for submitting content to
Newlife, unless this was agreed in writing with the developer before work started.
– You understand that the developer is under no obligation to use your submitted
content, and that it might be rejected or dramatically modified.
First, you''re giving me the right to do whatever I want with your submitted content. This
principally will mean making modifications and including it in the game. It might also mean
things like putting screenshots on my blog or whatever. Basically, I can do anything I like
with it.
This is irrevocable. This means you can't change your mind once you've submitted it. This
is important because it takes time and work to include content in Newlife. I don't want
people to be able to demand that scenes be removed from the game once I've taken the
time to add them.
Second, you must be legally allowed to work on adult content: so, you should be 18 or
over.
Third, you must hold the copyright. If you wrote the content yourself and didn't copy
someone else's work then this is automatically the case – you don't need to submit any
paperwork or anything to hold copyright over your work. You also can't have made any
legally-binding contracts preventing you from sharing the work with someone else.
Note that you are not giving me the copyright. The first part of the agreement means I can
do whatever I want with your content, but you still have the copyright so you can also use it
yourself. For instance, you could modify it to put in a game or short-story of your own.
Fourth, 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.
If you choose, I will generally recognise you in the changelog and about section if your
work is included in the game, but this is not a legally binding promise. I'm unlikely to refuse
to do so unless your chosen username is gratuitously offensive.
Fifth, I understand that a scene is a lot of work, but I also can't promise to include it in the
game. If you feel that a rejection would make you very angry or unhappy then please don't
submit anything to me.
It's generally better to submit your content in a public way like a forum post rather than by
PM as that lets other players see it and provide feedback. However, PM is also fine,
especially if you don't want to be identified publicly as the writer.
You can also use these sites to ask questions about development. Again, it's much better
to ask them publicly.
Please don't use blog comments to submit a scene. You should do so in a way that lets me
contact you personally via PM if necessary.
Discord:
The Newlife discord (run by FutureSight) has the most active scene-creation community
and is probably the best place to post finished scenes or ask for advice from other writers
or player-feedback on works in progress.
Patreon:
You can contact me via PM, by making a new post, or by commenting on an appropriate
post. Only patrons are able to contact a creator on Patreon so non-patrons should choose
a different site.
