Hello there you wonderful and super cute people!
Another week, another month, another progress update!
As you may have noticed, the first beta for the second prequel chapter ( what a tongue twister ) is now available for all $5 and higher tier supporters. I will most likely make a beta branch for steam too, I just have to figure some things out for that first, so stay tuned until you read about it there!
Feedback for this beta has been pretty good, the "shorter" length didn't seem to be an issue for most of you so I will continue to do it like that. I'm already busy working on the next beta, which hopefully will release by the end of this month. After the event with Jackie, you get reminded by Bethany that the Beckers ( Katharina and Lea ) are waiting for you to have dinner. The fact that Katharina, of all people, wants to cook, makes the MC very suspicious and once you play this event you will know why. It's probably going to be one of my bigger plot twists that I somehow have to explain before it drops, but I'm pretty confident in doing so. Katharina might drop some hints while the MC and Lea are clueless. I think this will be a great "first day" of the new Chapter, hopefully it will make you anxious to hear what the hell is going on. You know I'm all about "happy cliffhangers" and this one will be not any different, even though I know a lot of you people hate and love me for that. But trust me on this one, it will be very good. Like I said though, I have to somehow figure out how to do it so it makes sense - not only for the prequel but also for the main game ( though it makes sense to not get mentioned there since the focus is on MCs amnesia and him not remembering basically anything ). Keep in mind that my games are not focussed on "realism" when it comes to stuff like that, it's all meant to be a good journey that will make you feel happy! Todays render is Rei in the park, from the first beta!
So while I was putting my focus more on the next prequel beta, I was also able to squeeze in some stuff for the main game. I feel like with the ginger twins arriving the MC definitely needs some time to catch up with them in his hometown ( not the one where he stays during the prequel, but the one where he moved to with Anna ). Caroline and Emily ( the ginger twins ) love to hang out with the MC, since he always shows them the coolest places. I have a super interesting one in mind which I'm not going to spoil, but let's just say one of the twins will get very confident and then extremely shy about certain dialogues. The other one will make fun of her, just to admit that she wanted to do the same. It's going to be an event that is more on the funnier side, kinda because I want to show what kind of people the twins are. I think I already made this comparison, but they're a good mix of Lina and Yukiko.
And I think thats it for now. It's kinda insane it has been almost 2 years since the last My New Memories update dropped... But I'm really confident that this time will not increase that much anymore. Like I said a few times, I have a plan in mind if this is going to take longer than the personal deadline I made for myself. It's going to be the hardest thing I ever had to do, but if there is no other way, I'll do it. I don't want to make you guys keep waiting forever just because I want to wait longer. But more on that on another time. Until then, stay awesome, people!
