RPGM - My New Life: Revamp [v0.953] [Beggar of Net]

Story-5/5
Art-5/5
Animation-3/5
Gameplay-4/5
Fun Factor-5/5

To preface I checked the remake out when it was in its infancy, and saw promise with a lack of content. I came back at 0.7.8.1 and was delighted to see a game well into being finished. Personally can't wait for the next update.

Story- The story here is something to write home about. It is fleshed out, and downright enthralling. This is some of the best writing I've seen in a H-game. Beggar of the Net has a fucking gift. My only criticism is I felt like the the whole household on incest patch was blue balling me for the entire story. The turn around for sarah to go from card whore to bro-con was a masterstroke that couldn't have made me happier.

Art/Animation- Art is inherently subjective as I state in all my reviews. I liked that tits were not the only body part overexaggerated. For that alone I give art a 5/5. Animation is done well, but I felt like the stomachs of the girls in scenes seemed janky. To clarify animating is not my skillset. I think some work needs to be put into smoothness. 3/5 for variety alone.

Gameplay/Fun Factor- Gameplay is very sim, and I personally like that. If I had one note the inability to improve all my grades to a passing level drove me nuts. It just made my eye twitch so I had to mention it.

Now on to the important part. Is the game fun? I found it very addictive. Its worth a place on the hard drive, and I can see myself watching this game progress with great interest. The day I can finally fuck Sarah into oblivion is a day I look forward to.

Ok I played this game ever since the original came out and I have to say out of all the games I have to say despite it getting a revamp that originally disappointed me it is still my second favorite game of all time. Now putting this aside I will give my pro's, con's, and the in between of this game.

Pro's

1) Interactive sex scenes where you can interchange besides with the threesomes.

In the original you couldn't do that and I have to give points for that even though it wasn't something that bothered me.

2) Improved story line

While the original story line was good this one in my opinion did improve on it in a lot of areas. Especially loved the heart to heart moment Mi... I mean Tommy had with Markus. While it would have felt more natural with the original in my honest opinion do to him knowing Markus much longer in that one compared to this one it still got me in a good way.

3) In game walk through

While I personally had no issue with the original game when it came to finding my way and what I needed to do (this was due to me being on top of every update) for someone else who wasn't like this and couldn't understand the walkthrough that was written they would be lost. It was one of the things the original version needed for newer players and this helped that greatly.

Cons

1) A good part of the RPGM was sucked out of the game.

In the original you could talk to the NPC which in my (and a lot of people's opinion's) was a critical part of a RPGM. In fact it was one of the key differences between a game falling under RPGM and Renpy and thanks to said change the game feels like it is now a Renpy game trapped in an RPGM's body. Not to mention the way it makes you feel like you are in a ghost town. While minor this does bug a bit of people.

2) Inconsistent story line

While for some this might be small and can be easily ignored this one really bugged me. I myself am personally someone who loves a good storyline and this is something that I hold up higher than the porn itself and it was the main reason why this game is my second favorite. However due to the creative issues the creator was having and the constant changes they made a lot of the story line and details unlike the artwork isn't up to date.

For example Joanna when first introduced was shown to be the big sister to Maria and was the older sister to her for a good deal of the storyline until the most recent update If I remember correctly. However despite this change happening within the game the older parts of the game didn't reflect this. During the pool scene when Maria was talking about her love life and the frustration she was feeling Joanna called her "little sis". This in the 4.0 update of the game and at this point it was fine since she was still the older sister. However, this was never updated to keep the story consistent.

The same could be said of when in the beginning of the game Warren wife's name was Cynthia however, when Warren is speaking to Jack in a slightly altered recycled scene he referred to his wife as Irina which didn't match up either.

There were quite a few others as well but I won't list them all here.

3) The game became extremely linear and a lot of the freedom that was originally had is gone.

This is another big one for me. With the original one once you finished the intro and made it to the school yard you had free rain of who you wanted to speak with and interact with for the most part and you weren't tied to a specific order with few exceptions. Here however you must follow a set course when it comes to playing and unlocking said characters. This really turned me off and while I understand why it was done it really hurt in my eyes.

4) The added porn voices.

In the original I remember there being mostly moans and groans from the ladies when you slept with them (with a lot of the original having the japanese voice acting moans) and while this is still there the porn voices are a massive turn off for me. I get why it was added but I just happen to find the new voices annoying and when I know it is coming I end up hitting the mute button.

The in between

1) Character development

This was a mixed bag for me. On the one hand I loved what was done with certain characters and how they were fleshed out. For example Rachel, Morgan and Maria for example. Rachel got more character development seeing as in the original while she was is original best and had some development there she felt like she needed more. Maria also got a great deal of development compared to her original despite in the later session of said ova she got said development.

However with the good there is also the bad. Sarah sadly in my eyes went down a rabbit hole in terms of development in this one. While she wasn't the meat and potatoes for me this update made me like her less.

2) character changes and updates

While I did enjoy seeing some of the more updated models seeing as I remember the before and after with many of them, some were good and some were bad.

for example Morgan's mother's design was a massive improvement over her original design. I liked her slender form so much more than her original and this earned points with me.

However I didn't like the Aunt Maggie change to be honest. While in this one she is actually your blood aunt versus the original where she was Jack's side chick. the original Aunt Maggie (who is now the new Mike's mother) I just like more.

Then there was the change to Mi... I mean Tommy's character. In the original despite everything that happened to him and the fact that he could get almost any girl he desired he didn't feel anything like a beta male with the original. Here he feels like it despite being an alpha with the ladies. Especially with the constant mentioning of his height in the newer version.

3) Music

With this one it is far more good than bad seeing as in the newer version there are a lot and I mean a lot of tones in this that I find myself loving. While I did love the original party music in the first version the newer version blew it out of the water. I also loved the music where Markus and Mi... I mean Tommy is having the heart to heart as well as the music after Christian beat you up and you need to get home. It is massive improvement in this area. However, at the same time there were a few of the older tones that I liked from the original that I had wished was still in this one. For example Jet's bookstore music in the original was one of my favorite themes and I found it relaxing and soothing. Would love to see it back in the bookstore again. There were a few others I liked that I would like to see again as well but seeing as this game is still in development I have hope some will come back.

4) Bugs

Another mixed bag here for a few reasons. While this game is far less buggy than the original game (which is always good) that doesn't mean it is free from them. However for the most part the game is still very playable and while some bugs can be annoying they aren't anywhere near as game breaking as they were in the original. The only reason this point is in the inbetween is because sometimes you can possibly run into some really annoying ones that can screw you over at times.

5) In game guide

While I put this in the pro's simply because it was there, it isn't without it's flaws. at times the guide can be confusing or in at least one noticeable instance is completely wrong.

The instance I saw was when the ingame guide said "go to Ms. Turner" when in reality it should have said "Ms. Taylor"

However, this isn't something that can't be fixed.

(Final call)

Despite everything I remember and the con's that personally bug me I would definitely recommend playing this game to anyone looking for a good story driven game with an author who puts his best foot forward.

Well here is my review (version 0.7.5):
This is my favorite rpgm adult game,what it have:
-Good story
-Model is unique not copy paste 3daz model( it maybe ugly at your first look but when you get used to it it kinda hot)
-Good gameplay with nice dialogue
-Really hot scenes.
+ things i dont like:
- you have to walk in game so much(rpgm game problem)( this could solved when play with mod).
- bunch of bugs( but easy to fix with menu and dont really important bugs).
- Mc's dick is too big for human.
This game should be 4.5 star but i will give 5 because it being underating here, you guys should support this dev and give this game a chance.

I have been following this game for quite some time and this revamp just get the things to the next level. All the narrative and gameplay got a major upgrade and all the updates have a lot of conetnt. Beggar is very committed withs his game and it shows it in each update

1 update from when the original version left and the MC mom content is comming, HYPE!

Without a doubt one of the best games on the platform. The amount of content at times can be overwhelming. But you will have a large number and variety of women at your disposal.
The plot and construction of characters is solid and effective. You will have characters that you love and others you will hate very strongly.
You will enjoy the best sex scenes of all the games. Come on, the protagonist knows how to fuck. Although the postures and the speed of sex are not videos, it is very pleasant.
Although in some ways it feels empty, I guess future updates will improve and add that content.
But without a doubt a 100% recommended game.

Beggar of the net have really good game i played my new life (3 times) and i played this game (2 times) old game is long but have bad sex system new game have more sex system and game story is better than old game, old game have really bad time system and travel there are some same scenes in this game but this game doesnt deserve 1 star

Review of the Revamped Version.

Pros: Runs smoother, Less bugs.

*Built in walkthough

*The Dev finally knows what direction he wants to take the game

*Better storylines for some characters like Rachel, Maria, Laura etc.


Cons:

No freedom : No more randomly interacting with your house mates, you have to basically wait and be told what to do. Otherwise they just stand there like robots, it's depressing. No more ways to pass time like watching TV or playing games, very robotic. You can't pick which storyline you wanna follow it's chosen for you.

No Driving: You get a car but you don't drive it, it's literally like taking a bus or instant transportation.

More of the same: A lot of this is this is more of the same, Mc is still a weak pushover. While others have matured physically he's still the same version of himself which was an indication of things to come. He's a pushover to people like Sarah who basically uses him for cards.

Why couldn't Sarah die? : Sarah is as obnoxious as she's ever been , It's like the Devs got a thrill by making her a total fucking idiot. She's done more harm to MC then christian ever has, she does it psychologically, emotional and physically. She practically used him and then spits him out once Christian comes along with more cards, then she gets jealous when MC moves on, falls for Christian rapey charm and confesses her love for MC. She's a complete idiot.

Too Rapey: Whether it's Jason's storyline where his dad basically grabs MC's dick or Christian ass raping Sarah or even MC himself getting ass raped by some rando, this game has too much this and traps situations that are hard to avoid, if at all possible. I'm sure there are others scenes but those stood out. It's like the Dev wanted you to see them.

Same ole Sex scenes: I was hoping the fast paced sex scenes had changed but it hasn't. I'd like to dictate the pace of certain positions and angles like I'm used to in VN's but this isn't the case. As you play from the start to the current update, in some scenarios you can do this like the scene when Laura is giving you a tit job by the pool. Notice it asks if you want to continue or the next option. Like why couldn't all scenes be that way?

I wish the Dev luck but I'm throwing in the towel on this one. 2.5/5.

In many, many ways an improvement over the original.

The story is more linear, which can be good or bad, especially in a game with so many characters (yet to be explored in this version) but the freedom you had in the older version was often limited by its convoluted design, and of course, bugs. Which kept things more or less the same. So not much was lost.

There were plot choices and character changes I didn't love, but the writing is better than the first one's. Nothing mindblowing, but shows some maturing from BoN's part and the translation is a lot better as well.

RPGM has however become an even more questionable choice, despite (and due, in part, to) the improvements in the gameplay side of things. But, I understand this is a tired remark.

All in all, at this point in time (0.06), it's an okay game on its own even if lacking all the content from the original.

3.5/5

In this revamp we have a better story that makes sense, also we have better scenes. Even now we have a menu that helps us when the game got bugged. What I don't like of this version, is that some characters don't say any word at the moment of interact. And I'm aware that is due to the lack of content for now, but a few lines wouldn't be bad. So I rate this game with 4 stars, because it has potencial to be better and I hope it will be.

About

Whem I launched this game for the first time, I felt like giving it 3 stars. After playing for some time, I thought it is solid 4. And now, 20+ hours into the game I'm just addicted to it and have to give it a 5.
The main reason is: the game is PACKED with content. It seems like it never ends, the story continues to unfold, all characters have side stories and MC can fuck almost everybody in different ways.
Other notable pros:
Sex scenes are minigame, which is more relatable and fun
Despite the linear story, sidequests and jobs and school activities make it feel like an open-world game
MC is not a dickhead how it often happens and has its feelings and even can be related somehow.
Artstyle is unique, thou you should like thick girls

Cons:
It can be grindy. After some time in the game, I've edited my save to add MC some cash just not to bother anymore, and now visit work activities when I feel like it
General unpolishness. To access your phone containing hints, addresses, and literally everything, you have to go through too many clicks. Sometimes you can walk through walls. Etc.
Gameplay issues: sometimes game presents you a Game Over screen and you find out that last save was an hour ago. On the other hand, sometimes it offers you a save before some critical moments.

Overall, I think this game is unique and pretty excellent. I believe that the issues it has can be polished in the future. The pretty low rating of this game here is probably related to the previous version of the game and dev attitude - but outside of that, today is the best time to check this game out. Enjoy!

This game is the equivalent of trying to fix soemthing by nuking it. The “solution” is so extreme that it ends up causing even more problems and tending to make it much worse. The problems were unclear objectives, grindy parts, and bugs. Those were pretty much the only real problems in an honestly really good game. Just adding an in game guide and cutting out some of the parts of quests would have been fine.

Instead, a lot was sacrificed in the name of addressing these issues, arguably without actually addressing any of them

Unclear objective. They’re still unclear, it’s just that you now have to constantly go o to the phone for it to tell you what to do. Going to the phone itself is overly long, and the directions are sometimes unclear. So that isn’t really solved and when it is, it basically takes away all agency from the player. So not only is it worse, it’s not even solved

Bugs. XD hahahahahahahahahahaha

Grind. Still here. But arguably worse. In the old games, you could do multiple quests at once, at your leisure. Made the grind a lot less painful. Now you still have to these repetitive tasks and go to the same places over and over, it’s justyou can only do one thing at a time, when the game says you can. So it’s even more boring. I’m tired of finding boxes.


So yeah. Mission failed there.


Other than that, you can’t even speak to NPCs, some characters have been made worse, all of a sudden Christian is borderline cucking us, some characters have completely new designs, etc.

Other than that, the majority of the content is literally just taken from the last game, but somehow that’s takes a long time? So we’re not really getting new exciting content, so why even play this? The sex scenes interactivity is gone. The new sex moans are weird but they also use the old JAV sex moans? Weird. Also some people had their stories and cool scenes cut. Plus, all the girls we used to have aren’t all there.

Now for the pros. The new scenes, ya know have naked girls in them, so I’m not complaining.

THAT TITLE SCREEN. Hell, the title screen alone gets a point.

The story is still...okay?


The game isn’t actually that BAD. It’s just that all the good are holdovers from the original game, that is way better in hindsight. I really would just like a continuation of the original game.

It’s not unbearable it could be so much better. But hey, it’s a bunch of girls giving you the thickness. I can’t complain too much.

It's impossible to just gauge this game on it's merits as it's the remake of another game that in many ways feels far superior. In it's current iteration having it on rpgm just doesn't seem to make sense. Everything is gated more or less and you are limited to a single action, two if you are lucky per day. So you fall into this horrendous walking simulator that doesn't really belong. It wouldn't be as bad if it was on renpy and you could just hold ctrl to skip through the grindy bullshit.

See in the original game events happened on the hour and you could potentially be tackling multiple objectives with multiple girls, but with this new linear format it's do the one thing, then go to bed. I am not sure if my game somehow bugged, but I ended up spending more time trying to speed up time, by running between zones, cause I couldn't find anything else to do to increase time.

In the previous game you could play on your computer, watch tv, take a shower, peep on people in the shower, there were various activities to do to control time, this game doesn't have any of that. So I found myself running between two areas just to get the clock to hit 21:00 so I could send the MC to bed only to continue the grind again the next day.

Now if you ignore the grind, the extreme linear design, lack of agency, limited exploration, some of the writing and forget completely about the other game it's not that bad. The animations have been improved, the writing is a step up from the previous game although there are times I feel like I am watching Mean Girls or Clueless, because of the MCs overreaction to everything. Sex sounds still sound hilarious, the weird quack noises crack me up. Oh yeah don't hold down the mouse buttons to speed those up or your game will randomly bug out and save often!

As a game though, this is not fun, it's tedious to the extreme and a downgrade from the previous version. The fact that you cannot interact with anyone or anything, unless it's part of a current objective, kinda takes away from the experience too. BRING BACK THE SILLY TIME WASTERS, tv/shower/peeping shit just being able to talk to people in the house would be nice. Also why the hell would you drill holes in the ceiling if you aren't going to be able to use them?

Super intriguing story and characters , really nice art and animations , has something for everyone to enjoy with a huge collection of kinks and fetishes (Most of them optional so don't worry) and a great developer who regularly updates the game.

I have supported the developers for several years now, since the development of the first version, and they regularly (a content patch per month, more consistent than some better known titles) turn out a consistently high-quality product. The art is impressive, the mechanics simple, yet user-friendly, and the writing is engaging. The language hiccups not withstanding, the story is equally funny, erotic, and interesting: a porn fantasy with a decent story and lots of memorable HOT characters.

My one critique is that some of the side-quests get a bit grindy, particularly the part-time jobs and some of the date-able girls.

10/10 great game.

PROS
Less Buggy than the original
Hint system
Improved Sex minigame
lots of content
Cons
Still behind the old game in content
Game is linear but BON is making it more open every update

Version: 0.55 Bugfix
Time played: ~12 hours (also fully completed the abandoned v2.1 version)
Enabled cheats/mods: Yes

PROS:
- Less grinding than abandoned version
- New CGs, not only recycled old ones
- Helpful walkthrough/hint system, mini map and more
- Improved IU (during interactive scenes)

CONS:
- Forced linear storyline
- Time consuming
- Still feels buggy

Review:
Since this game is a REVAMP of the abandoned v2.1 version, I will be comparing both games.

Story:
The REVAMP is - as expected - different than the abandoned version, but not necessarily in a bad way. This story is not too bad, but I was more interested in the original one. A major change is that the REVAMP is way more linear. I personally have nothing against linear storylines, but I actually preferred the freedom given in the abandoned version. However it lacks the freedom, I did like the introduction of the new characters. I'm interested in the continuation of the story.

Gameplay:
Generally the game feels like: go to location A, go to location B, etc. This might be the problem with all RPGM style games, but somehow it felt like something was missing. There is nothing interesting going on in between the travel to your goal. There are no characters you can talk to (even if they just say one singular line) or random events to keep it interesting. This makes the game feel less immersive, somewhat boring and unnecessary buggy. During some point of the game I even got all my activities during the afternoon, which was really annoying to do without any cheats: after finishing an afternoon activity it becomes night, so you have to wait another day to continue. It was nearly impossible to efficiently plan out your day to spread the activities, because all the activities were packed into one timeslot. Some activities become unnecessarily repetitive, such as the 'pick up the package for Nesrot'-activity. If this was a side story it would've felt less annoying, but instead you are forced to do this to proceed in the family storyline.
Using cheats was making the game more bearable, especially the Teleport feature. Walking to some locations take a lot of time, since the map is quite big.

Grammar:
The game is originally written in (a) Spanish (dialect) and loosely translated afterwards, so the English context is not really on point all the time. Sometimes it only shows the Spanish text, even when your settings are on English.

Graphics:
I personally like the style of the CGs, but that is really a matter of personal preference. The nearly cell shaded look gives a cartoony feeling even though it is completely modelled in 3D, which makes the game rather unique. The animations are surprisingly smooth and accurate, if you ignore the clipping. There is a lot of CGs and also a gallery, which is a big plus.

Conclusion:
I do enjoy the game, but I miss the freedom of choosing my own story. This really makes the game feel more forced than the abandoned one. Nonetheless it is still a decent game with more than enough content. I wanted to give 2.5 stars due to my mixed feelings, but since that is not possible I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt with 3 stars.

-Edit-
After finishing V0.06.6 (~36 hours total) I must admit that there is an insane amount of content, which convinced me to add another star to the rating to a total of 4 stars.

So I played the original game and I am going to try to leave a reasonable review. The revamp version gets a lot of negative feedback and some of it is well earned. In terms of progression, the revamp version excels because of the internal phone walkthrough. The other version had time specific events that you had no idea of guessing the timeline and would leave you frustrated. This version however suffers a bit in terms of the family. In the original version, with Sarah the dynamic between her and the brother was more interesting. Sarah already liked the MC and the cards were kind of an excuse for her to get closer to you, she only tried to date other people because she saw her feelings as wrong. However, in this version Sarah just sucks, she has to be dragged into the relationship through getting her cards and shows interests in other guys. The actions you have to fulfill are also extremely boring and repetitive, collecting all the packages to continue the family events. The story does seem to flow better but overall, I still think I would prefer the original.

The way the game is built is just badly designed, for instance if you wanna start focusing on the sister you have to go through a dozen insignificant side plots, half the main story line and do multiple things in specific order just to move to the next stage with said character. It feels like a walking simulator where you need to go to one edge of the map to the next until a cut scene is triggered. I know its a porn game but many characters have the personality of a cardboard box, like the janitor that was about to be raped that you saved all of a sudden will let you do anything with her.

And the bugs by god are they endless. You have to save everytime you use a phone ingame or risk images being stuck or a black screen. Many times the built in bug fixes won't save it.

Main charcter is the biggest simp you can think of not to mention the down syndrome eyes are a major turnoff.

Overall its the type of game that would make you delete it right after you finally finish the scenes of the only charcater you ever cared about.

Version: v0.004.1 Alpha

PROS:
- The grinding and bugs has been decreased
- It has the same graphics and quality as the previous game
- Has a hint system
- A mini-map was added

CONS:
- It has a little slow gameplay
- It has a high time consumption
- The quality is not very good

Review:
I really can't seem to like porn games of RPGM style. This new revamp version is better than the abandoned version, but the quality and graphics remain the same. In this version, several things were added, such as a hint system that greatly facilitates and the game districts were also reduced, so you can walk around the map without having to spend a lot of time going to one place and another. anyway, it is a game that will consume you a lot of time because it is extremely slow. You have to do a lot of tasks to get small sex scenes that are not worth much effort. The story is different and better, leaving the gameplay a little more fluid but you will get lost a little, because it is a rpgm game.

So, why did I gave 2 stars?
Playing a game again that was extremely tiring makes you a little discouraged but when we see that it's a new story and another gameplay we give it a chance. However, it remains the same, but without many bugs and with a reduced grind, it still has a lot, because you will have to do many things that are not worth the effort and you will also spend hours, and hours and hours playing and that you will only be wasting your time. Therefore, the developer could have launched his game on another engine, maybe he doesn't know. The fact is that whoever played the abandoned version will have to wait a long time for this new one to have the same content as the previous one, until then, without anything new, the game will be more of a tiring game like the previous game was, but the quality of the previous game was good, like this new game too, but unfortunately I can't enjoy playing RPGM because I spend a lot of time.

This game is something else.

I get we can see some flaws but for me the quality of the game made those almost totally irrelevant for me.

When I mean quality I talk about is the design, this is so unique from what everything else I played, this sort of 3D cartoonish style who almost cross the too much ridiculous shape you can have from the characters. But it's also what make it even more exciting.

So that's for the aspect in general.

As from the REVAMP himself, oddly I did not found it was a bad idea to make one, even if the original was not finished. The quality or the render are better there's no doubt about it. I found the scenario more mature at some aspect.

This game is almost like the ultimate harem game, and it explore everything in form of kind of sexuality : incest, gay, transgender (even the content for the last 2 was uncommon)

One of the most unforgettable game I ever play and certainly the one I take the most time on it.
