No. Beggar Of Net has stated that version 1.0 is targeted for late 2024/early 2025. v0.97 is the "feature complete" milestone, meaning all core mechanics are implemented. Versions 0.98 and 0.99 will focus solely on bug fixing, rendering, and writing the final epilogues.
Players should treat v0.97 as the best time to start a "long play." Any progress made here will likely carry over to the 1.0 release via a save converter.
Yes, but with caveats.
If you hate grinding stats or reading text, this is not for you. "My New Life" requires patience. However, if you want a sandbox where you genuinely feel like an average person clawing their way up in a new city, v0.97 is the definitive version.
Pros:
Cons:
If you are a fan of life simulators like Man of the House or Being a DIK, My New Life- Revamp -v0.97- By Beggar Of Net fits squarely into your rotation. It is darker than mainstream dating sims but less punishing than hardcore fetish games.
The Good:
The Caveats:
A concise, actionable self-reboot program to redesign daily habits, environment, goals, and social systems over 12 weeks. Focus: sustainable routines, mental clarity, tangible progress tracking, and adaptable systems rather than one-off motivation.
The "Revamp" aspect is crucial. The developer (Beggar Of Net) likely re-wrote early game code to fix legacy bugs, improve the economic balance (reducing the grind for money), and replace outdated early-game renders to match the quality of newer content. This ensures a more consistent visual experience for new players starting from v0.97.
