| UI Revamp coming up (work in progress) | 2026-08-10 | Hey everyone, just a development blog on Beggar's Life.I'm currently working improving the UI. Most of the improvements are focused on the desktop UI, but the mobile UI should be considerably easier to play too. Not just the UI but the experience in general. Some of this new experience also needs some new content to really shine.While I have done some testing, more testing is necessary before release. I think I will create a Patron only beta to test out the UI problems so I can iron out some bugs before release. This version will come with new content that hopefully pleases newcomers and veterans alike.If you want to the see the UI I have som |
| Small fix because the previous one was incomplete (data fix, text fix) | 2026-06-23 | Just some data fixes and text fixes, among them Criminal Smile 3 not being attainable, now it should work! |

| Fixed some small issues, among them an archive bug | 2026-06-22 | There were some problems in the archive, some tasks were failing to be counted as part of the archive (the prestige tasks were being identified as part of the archive, despite them not showing up on the archive itself). Count should now be correct, and tasks should currently show up now. Happy begging |
| Small update (customizable scrolling and shaper text) | 2026-06-17 | Text should be sharper now. Let me know if this is better or if any gliches happened due to this change in text!Can also change scrolling sensitivity on settings now |
| Improve mouse scrolling | 2026-06-15 | - I have added an improvement for mouse scrolling issues. This should make the issue better but potentially still slow for big monitors, I'll see if I can maybe add a setting thing for it or tweak it based on screen size / DPI, I'll get back to this. Sorry for the trouble anyone!!! |

| Thanks for the warm feedback regarding the demo, improving it now! | 2025-10-24 | A lot of people have played the game and they took the time to let me know how they felt. I take to heart every compliment and word of thanks. Issues have also been brought to my attention. I have summarized and ordered by priority the problems we currently have. I'm not sure if I can fix all of those problems or when I can fix those problems. For some of those issues, I'm not even sure if fixing them will improve the game according to my vision. But I will consider all issues and I plan to fix a lot of them in the upcoming updates. I make no promises though.DPI problems, fullscreen, mouse scrolling, and big monitor handlingFixing troublesome |
