Hello there you wonderful and super wholesome people!

Another week, another progress update!

Let's jump right into the games again!

I've been getting in a super good workflow again which makes me very happy. I was mainly writing stuff and making renders for the next prequel chapter. As you might have guessed, the event where Rei revealed who her cousin is will be a little longer than usual and it will end up with a cute little animation in the end. Can't say more, but what I can say is that the dialogues they will have is going to be something I have never really done in any of my games before. Rei already knows a lot about the MC, Bethany and Sabrina. But she barely knows anything about Jessica and, even more important, about MCs father and his new family. She is interested to hear about how the parents of the MC divorced and why Sabrina feels the way she does regarding their father. I think I did a decent job so far, where the MC tells her basically how it all started and where him and his father are standing relationship wise now. Keep in mind that Karla and the twins are already a thing there, but that basically only the MC and Bethany know about it, so it's going to be an interesting little event when the MC ends up telling Sabrina about it. Still, I personally feel like it's good to give the MC a father that is not an asshole for once. He will also talk about Jessica, but won't mention that he suspects that Jessica might have feelings for him, since he isn't sure about it yet. This day is going to be super long because I feel like the prequel needs those days from time to time - I will change stuff a little up. So you wont go through every weekday or something like that but I will rather make it so certain days in university are interesting and then the weekend has interesting stuff again. In the evening of the first day you're going to spend some time with Lea and her mother, as you can see in todays render! And I can promise you that Chapter 2 will be even longer than Chapter 1, and that it won't take nearly as long to release.

I also worked some more on the main game again, basically connecting a few strings during the dialogue the MC has with Rei to the current time, where Karla, Caroline and Emily ( His step ... Landlady ... and two... Half roomates... ) are already thinking about moving to the new house. Right after the event you have with Sabrina you will go to Sarah, as you know if you played the snippet, and this event will just be as long as the little snippet you played. Like I said, Chapter 4 will be huge, which will be needed after the extremely long wait you guys had to endure. And don't worry, it's not like I will keep waiting it out forever. I'm already looking for people that did amazing jobs recreating daz3d characters so I can set a date in my head where I will say fuck waiting for the police woman to admit that she is wrong about that SSD drive and just recreate the characters. But for now, I still like to stick to what I said and wait to see if things will look better in a few months. I hope you guys understand that.

Regarding My New Family 2 I'm kinda stuck at the moment, creatively. I know that a lot of you amazing people are waiting for this and I can 100000% promise the first (long) chapter will release sometime this year. You guys know that I always want to give the best "first impression" on releases, that's why I was so happy that you guys love the prequel that much. It means that I will continue to release longer updates etc, even if it means work on the update might take a little longer. It's totally understandable and 100% fair if you don't want to wait that long for updates or game releases though and I would never be mad if you decide to stop to support me and move on to other games. Never feel the need to keep supporting even though you're not really enjoying my work anymore ( or how I work in general ).

And I think thats it for now, people. Nothing new regarding the case yet so I'm sticking to my lawyer who said "No news is good news". If anything comes up I'll let you guys know as soon as possible though! Until then, stay awesome!

Hello there you super wholesome and extremely cute people!

Let's jump right into the games again!

You guys have no idea how extremely happy I am that you amazing people enjoyed the snippet I made with the Sabrina event. Now I'm seriously considering making another one with a very long Bethany event ( including some lewd fun with her that will result in an animation that would be in the snippet as well ), but I'm not 100% sure on that. It really warmed my heart to see that so many of you were happy to play this super small event you will experience in chapter 4, reading that even though you wish it was the full chapter, you take the snippet just to remember... Well, the game, I guess. Reading that people missed this story and my writing was such a good feeling, it really helped me get through the tougher times again. Thank you so so much for that. But before I work on a Bethany snippet I'll continue to work on MNF2 and the next Prequel chapter!

Speaking of prequel, I'm making super good progress on the script again and I'm hopeful that the writing for the first day of the chapter will be done this week. That means I can start rendering next week and release the first beta of Chapter 2 for supporters! Todays render is from the earlier part of the day, where you go to a Madi Café with Rei to talk more about your families. The MC didn't really tell her that much about Jessica yet, for example, or even the new family his father started. All of this will lead to Rei to talk more about Anna as well, of course, and the MC is going to be extra careful to not mention anything. After all Anna must have her reasons to not mention that she already found the love of her life back then, right? At least thats what the MC is thinking. He is struggling a lot with his emotions for her, especially with the new love he is experiencing with Rei and Lea. I really enjoy writing the MC like that, where he has to learn about those feelings, before he became the more confident man he is in the main game ( even though not as confident because of the amnesia, but it'll come back ). I don't want him to be an arrogant cocky dude who knows that all girls will fall for him, but I also don't want him to be someone that is too shy to say what he wants. It's a fine line and I think I'm walking it well so far. As you know, I really really dislike asshole mcs that are mean to their girls. I can keep my promise that this will never ever happen in the game.

I also worked a tad bit on My New Family 2 again. I feel like I'm getting the bigger picture of the story I'm writing now, which helps to not think too much about the engine I'm going to use. With how the story ended in MNF1, it's going to be challenging to introduce the new girls to the circumstances of their ... Let's say, Landlord and Landlady situation. I don't plan to make a girl be super repulsive regarding these things, but I also don't want it in a way that it's just natural that these girls will fall for the MC as well. I guess he has to work for it, just like he had to in MNF1. Still, I think especially with the tenant he has with Lucy it's going to be a lot of fun. I mean, can you imagine her calling him super stupid pelican? That will be funny.

And I think that's it for now, people. Thank you so much again from the bottom of my heart for all the feedback regarding the snippet. It really took a huge burden off my shoulder to know that you guys loved it. If anything new comes up regarding my case I'll let you guys know. Until then, stay awesome!

Hello there you super cute and very wholesome people!

Another week, another progress update!

Let's jump right into the games again!

As some of you may have noticed, I was finally able to release the small snippet for Chapter 4 for supporters. As I said in the post, it's a long event with Sabrina where you will have a lot to talk about. I will release this snippet for everyone shortly after I made this post - You can grab it directly from the Discord. If you have My New Memories on Steam the snippet will be available in the Beta branch - Right click My New Memories on Steam, Hit Properties and then you can select the Beta under "Betas". Keep in mind that you should not save during this snippet and that you will eventually replay this event. Still, I hope you guys will like this small preview to Chapter 4, the feedback from supporters has been very positive!

Now that the snippet is done I went back to the prequel and continued to work a lot more on it. After the big reveal from Rei things have been shook up a little, but I don't want it to be the focus of this chapter. Since the MC started two relationships ( if you decided to go that route ) it will be more important for him to continue to hone his feelings towards Lea and Rei. Still, Anna is constantly on his mind and I'm going to explain a few things to people that never played the main game. Todays render is Lea in the evening at MCs house, where she started to be a very regular guest. The big reveal from Rei will more or less stay between him, Rei and Sabrina, mainly because it's not that big of a deal for Rei and for the MC it's pretty important that this stays "hidden" for now. I also plan to involve Katharina a little more into MCs lovelife, since I always liked the trope of the sexy neighbor "teaching" the MC. Think of Mary in MNF, I guess, just a little more perverted. After she heard how the MC lost his virginity to Lea she is super excited to finally amp up the pace with him, something that will also stir up some thoughts in Bethany. Like I said a few times by now, the prequel is there to make sure that you get to know the MC and all his nice traits before he married and started a family.

I also worked on MNF2 again, it's mainly writing some stuff though since I'm super hesitant to boot up Honey Select 1 or 2 to start working on these characters. It's more of an self inflicted issue, I think, because I want to make sure that the characters still look how they did in MNF1, just...Different, I guess. I mean, it's going to be 18 years after the end of MNF1, usually people don't stay with the same look for that long. Given the special "powers" the MC has they won't really age ( like it's explained ingame ) but I'm thinking of giving them a bit of a glowup. You'll see what I mean once I can get over myself and start fully working on them. Lucy and Sandra are my priority, so if I have something to show for, those will be the first 2 you're going to see.

And I feel like that's it for now! I can't wait to see your reaction to the snippet! Don't hesitate to share any feedback you have on the Discord or anywhere else, I'm super excited to read about it - Even if you hated it! If something comes up I'll let you guys know, like usual. Stay awesome!
