RPGM - My New Life: Revamp [v0.97] [Beggar of Net]

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.

This is one of my all time favorite adult game to date! This game got one of the greatest story in adult games ever. It has a very likable MC who are very easy to enjoy playing as. The rest of the cast is just incredible, every character has unique look with an equal unique personality. It got something for everyone, big ass, small ass, big tits and small tits and a shit ton more of different stuff. This definitely is one of the few adult games I play for the story as well as the sex scenes, I genuinely enjoy how the story evolves and progresses.
I can't wait to see how it's going to end!

After playing both the original and revamp version, I will say that I enjoyed the sex gameplay of the revamp far more. Characters were hot and animations are great.

Overall I really enjoyed this game and is personally one of my favourite games on the site.

better ui, slightly less buggy, the game is objectively better than the original. It's not without flaws but still it doesn't deserve the hate.
Also many people say that the game is more linear, which isn't true since most of the added content can be done whenever except for the main quest and the school.

I wouldn't call it a "Revamp" it's more of a "rehash". Most of the same problems from the original are still present - grindy time sink, crappy mini-games, a whole lot of boring busywork - the story has been changed only slightly from what I can tell. Pretty disappointing.

When I read revamp I thought we might see a more streamlined player friendly version, maybe a different engine. Something that would justify the redo but none of these things have happened. It just appears to be an opportunity to make all the same bad design choices again and continue raking in the Patreon dollars with minimal effort.

I love to play this game . Animations are fantastic.. Only thing is going from one place to another is little hectic.. Idea of making revamp was fantastic ..
Story is like actually we are leaving.. characters sie and shapes are of my genre.

A very good game with some nice animations and it's not one of those ones that you can finish in one sitting. I am enjoying it a lot and would give it 5 stars but it can be quite buggy at times and it annoys me how every character is thicccccc as fuck, would prefer some variety.

Its basically the same game with little improvements, revamp just seems like an excuse to keep the money flowing through while making it seem like its still being worked on to be frank.

Was disappointed because I thought this would add a lot more things and change the game around significantly. The game itself is not extremely bad but I just don't see a point in the revamp if you are not going to do it big.

Also it seem that some aspects went a step back and feels like it is more grindy.

This was one of the first porn games i have played, and i LOVED the incest part the most, but now i just noticed, that he changed the story completely, and one of the best parts (Real mother) is never going to be developed.

I downloaded the game, but when i noticed on the first scene that incest was removed, i deleted the game and canceled my Patreon Support.

If he releases a patch i may return and play it.
