So after taking time to think about it, I still have the same feeling I did when trying out the revamp. I honestly feel the dev shouldn't have abandoned this game, that when he was going to "fix bugs", that he should have done just that, fix the bugs of this game and then work on finishing up the storyline. After he finished the paths and story, he could then go and start working on My New Life 2, using what he's doing now as a continuation instead of a remake. This would have been better overall as it would have allowed us to complete this game as is, feel a form of completion, and then enjoy the new game without getting pissed that we're essentially replaying the entire game yet again.
