It hasn't been that long since I made this post back in December 2024. Back then, things were very different, at least in my head, and I'm pretty sure December 2024 Killer7 had hoped that things would finally quicken up. What an idiot, I guess. But I don't want to self insult myself too much.
My plans didn't change that much but I still wanted to give you amazing people an update. I'm extremely happy that the prequel got so much positive feedback and that you guys enjoyed it a lot so far. It's hard to describe what the prequel initially was for me, I guess in German we call it "Trostpflaster" , which basically means "You didn't win the big prize, but you still get something that hopefully makes you happy". This is what the prequel was for me, and it kinda still is. Of course most of you would prefer Chapter 4 for the main game, especially now that Anna is awake, but you are also happy to get more of the prequel and My New Family 2 soon as well.
Ever since that post I didn't just do nothing regarding the main game ( aka Chapter 4 ). I was writing a lot, as you always got from my progress updates, but I was also starting to look into ways to get faithful remakes of the characters done. I can explain how I made the characters for My New Memories and I'll try to do it as quick as possible. If you don't care about that, just hop to the next part. Basically, I buy a premade model off the DAZ or a different store that I like. I then take this model, add it into DAZ3D, go to the "Shape" slider and put the sliders of this model to 20%. And then I add another character into this one. And another. And another. I'm adding so many morphs from so many different characters into it until I'm happy with the result. That is how I created all the characters for My New Memories ( and for My New Memories: The Beginning as well ). That is the only reason I'm hesitating with remaking these characters - The remakes will never look as "good" as the ones I made. And the fact that I used so many characters doesn't help, it makes it extremely difficult to recreate them.
But I also have no talent in recreating, I have to admit. I was never good at it. I know people that play korean MMOs like Black Desert Online who were able to basically make copies of famous people in that game. I don't have that talent, I can make custom characters but thats it. This is why it's so so difficult for me to get even acceptable results for any of the girls. I tried and tried and tried but nothing really worked. The last hope I have right now is FaceTransfer for DAZ3D, but that stuff doesn't really work either.
This is why I will actively start looking for people who have a talent for that. There are insanely talented people out there who were able to recreate characters from My New Family in DAZ3D and/or made copies of the MNF cast in Honey Select. I'm looking for people, be it 3d artists or other developers, who have the know-how on making "copies" of the characters I have in My New Memories. I know that this is not an easy task and this is why I will pay a lot of money to get decent results. It's worth every cent for me.
What I want to clarify right away is that I was always on the lookout for people like that, it's just that I was more focusing on the prequel and MNF2 because I had extremely high hopes that the state attorney would finally get back to us - To me and my lawyer. But they have been radio silent, not only regarding this case against me but also regarding the case where I was the victim of these people who are accusing me of these fucking things. Nothing. The supreme court in Germany confirmed the sentence in february 2025 and we didn't hear anything regarding compensation from the state attorney. Literally nothing. Just like we're not getting an update on the case file. We're nearing the two year mark and it's frustrating. Words cant even describe how frustrating it is.
But I didn't want to make the post as long this time ( I failed ). I want to end it with a request to each and everyone who is reading this post: If you know anyone who has a talent for making fan-arts of known games that you follow, please don't hesitate to send their names my way. The same goes for people who do 3d art in general, if you think they have the talent to recreate the cast of My New Memories, hit me up. Like I said above, I'm willing to pay a lot of money to get it done. As long as the characters look close enough to their originals, I will be happy, since that means I can replace the "copies" with the originals once I finally get my stuff back. And don't worry, not all characters have to be recreated at once - it's a task that will and should need time.
So yeah, this is the current situation. It's incredibly frustrating and its taking an extreme toll on my mental health - If it wasn't for you people that still support me, I would probably have given up earlier this year, shortly after the prequel release. I know that a lot of you are also disappointed in me not "just remaking them" completely, but this is something I just can't bring myself to do. I at least want decent copies of them, not completely new looks etc. I understand your frustration because it's been forever and I'm sorry for that. I really hope you guys understand my way of thinking though, it didn't change that much from the post I made in december but...It changed a little. Later today ( it's already Monday in Germany as I'm writing this ) there's going to be a progress update again.
Thank you for reading all of this until the end. You guys are the only reason I didn't lose my mind yet, it really helps to have this awesome and wholesome online community helping me through the toughest time of my life. This whole shit is extremely traumatizing and I really hope I will see the end of this this year...
