1- That's a huge problem to me. I hate when developers put the future of their project on the hands of patrons. It never ends well and it shows how the dev lost their vision and passion in the project and just wants to cash in. Too many games have fallen into this trap and have all become worse than they were initially.
2- Yeah, and I still know lots of games that are buggy as hell, even in Renpy. But I do believe that if he managed to make this game with RPGM, he would've had a much better time with Python 3. I love good RPGM games, because of the classic JRPG 16bit charm they can have. But you need to be a good coder
and a good game designer to make it work, especially in that engine.
3- Now, I know I was very harsh, but the reason is because the OG My New Life was one of the first adult games I had ever played and even with the bugs and quirks, it had a lot of charm.
4- BoN may not be a good programmer, but he does a good job imo with the sex scenes and the variety of kinks and progression. I lost count of how many times there was realistic foreplay before sex, when the MC was the one initiating it. Most of the scenes that start in foreplay, don't end there and progress into sex and even though they're just a couple of images long, they have a good pacing.
5- Many of those scenes are hot, even in the Revamp. I downloaded v0.93 after a long time not playing it and used the gallery viewer. Now, since all characters are maxed, you don't get to see them being mean to the MC, or seeing the MC being a wuss, so you get to experience the scenes, and they're great.
6- The Lucy and Sarah scenes are excellent to me. 90% of the games here revolves around the MC getting off and the scene is over. And BoN of all people is the one doing something different.
7- And that's why I'm so mad at this guy, because he could easily hire a good coder and 50% of his issues would be gone. Then the writing and polish would be left, which is also not that great, but that could be fixed too. If he focused only in the rendering, while polishing things like the terrible sound FX and focusing on little details, this game would've been so much better.
8- As for the writing, it seems to me that BoN saw Taffy Tales and thought it would be a good idea to make his MC as much of a wimp and a cuck as the one in that game. It's a kink and it's fine, but in a RPGM game, I'd at least expect branching and choices in that regard.
9- There are very few things I hate in adult games, more than a wimp MC, who happens to be extremely stupid and oblivious to what's happening to him/her.
TLDR: I hate that I hate this game, but BoN made me do it.
