people in this community please tell me your opinion did beggar rob us of a completed game simply for more months of money or does he genuinely want to revamp cuz it looks like we were nearing a finished game and he wanted more time to earn money p.s I like beggar but this move while good cuz things improved feels weird to me
There are a lot of people calling foul, but I'm of the opinion that Beggar genuinely wanted a revamp. He's made offhand posts on patreon for months now about wanting to change things and how some parts of the story he wished he could go back and rework. Plus, he wants to do a sequel game but wants proper build up and story development leading up to it, which the previous version lacked. There were also a lot of dead end branches that he wanted to get rid of and has since said that he was getting a little over his head with the branches. The revamp is more linear in response and doesn't have any dead ends, with one plot point leading to another so far, even if the story is minimal.
Most of the salt and negativity comes from the fact the previous version 2.1 had content from almost everyone and was on the cusp of receiving content for Lucy, and Maria had just received content too. Beggar was going to move back to the main story, but was hesitant see he felt that what he had wouldn't smoothly transition into a My New Life 2. He held a poll, the vast majority voted for a revamp, and so we got this version.
There have been other content creators who've pulled similar moves that did raise my eyebrow, but I think Beggar genuinely wanted to change things. To me, Beggar is head and shoulders above other adult game creators not just because he uses an engine other than the overused Daz3D and Honey Select (the former of which I can't stand and the latter which I don't mind) but because of the sheer amount of content he puts out every month. He makes hours of content and releases it in a month whereas other creators take 3-4 months to make the same amount.
Following Beggar these past two years, he is always on time with his updates and gives solid release dates. I can count on one hand the number of times he's had a delay and have fingers left over, and even then he is sure to announce a delay a few days in advance.
He recognizes that people are a bit miffed that a lot of content is gone, promises to be more frequent with content updates UP UNTIL all the girls who had content in the old version get it back, and it very active on his discord and quick to put out bugfixes when pointed out.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but before saying the game is ruined or the Beggar is just doing this for a cash grab, take a little more time before passing judgement. We'll get a better direction of the future of this revamp in the next month or two, so make the final call then.
Personally, I think the improvements are wonderful and I look forward to the coming updates. And for those who are starved for content or like the old version more, it is still available to download and play.
