Sarah & Yukiko

Here is the post showing what I have been working on lately, the rework of Sarah and Yukiko. I don't know how Subscribestar is gonna arrange them, but I also posted the original, current versions of Sarah and Yukiko for you guys to compare. Keep in mind, the new models are ONLY TEMPORARY!!

Hello there you wonderful and very cute people!

Another week, another progress update!

Well, I think its finally time I show you two of the characters I made so far and that I'm happy with. Remember when I said "They won't look like the original characters at all" and stuff? Well, looks like my mind won't let me create something completely unique when it comes to my beloved My New Memories creations. Without further talking, let me show you Anna and Lena, the two chars I finished so far. Keep in mind that I will only recreate the main girls ( including Karla and the Twins ) so Sabine, Dr. Rosenberg and other characters won't be remade for the moment. And also keep in mind that these characters are TEMPORARY, until I get my stuff back.

Since I can't embed these images here, I have to describe them for you guys as you see them. First is the recreation of Lena, second image is the recreation or remade version of Anna. Then comes the original Anna and the original Lena as comparison. I prefer the original in both cases, but I'm also happy with what I created so far.

I think finishing these recreations is my highest priority at the moment, since this is a process where I'm in the "flow" of working on things and I rather focus on this and then transition fully over to My New Family 2 again. I will share the other characters as well, of course, and the next one I'm doing will be Yukiko. My aim is to make these characters cute and loveable enough that they will fit as a TEMPORARY replacement, but that the characters I made already will always be the better choice, at least for me.

And I feel like thats it for now, I don't have that much more to share. If I hear anything new from my lawyer or something new in general comes up, I'll let you guys know. If you don't mind sharing your feedback on how these characters look, I'd be happy to read your comments! Stay awesome!

Amelie...Looking mighty cute in that dress...

I feel like Amelie needs some more screentime so I decided to make a render that shows her in a nice room with Christmas decorations still up.

There is a render available for $5 and higher tier supporters where the dress is missing!

I hope you guys like this cute render of the blonde lady!

The important post...

Well, this post is going to be tough for me but I think it's finally time I make it.

As all of you are well aware, it has been almost 3 years since the last real update for My New Memories. Chapter 3 released in May 2023, and in September 2023 my stuff got taken by the police. I have been waiting for almost two and a half years to get any sign from the state attorney that the SSD that literally only contains DAZ3D render files, nothing else, should be handed over to me again, but to no avail. No reaction. And the reason is that the investigating police officer thinks some characters of my games are "questionable". No objective view or anything. No seeing that my games are still available on Steam, Itch.io etc. Nothing. Just "Nope, a render-preview that contains Lena and a render that contains Sabrina and a render that contains Olivia seems sus". Not even the render itself, a 91x91 pixel thumbnail where you can't make anything out. But I'm repeating myself. I said this a few times already.

You guys remember that I set a deadline to myself where I will remake the characters. Well, that deadline has been reached on January 1st.

I will remake every main character in My New Memories. But there is going to be something different and I'll explain it. I'm not going to try to recreate the characters I already had. No, I will make completely new characters from scratch. The only thing that those characters will have in common with the characters I so deeply love and miss so much that it physically hurts will be their hairstyle. That's it. They will look extremely different and while I will probably not like it, I also think it's the only realistic way forward. I will start the work this coming week ( January 5th ) and I don't think it will take long to remake them ( this includes Karla and the twins, by the way ). It's going to be a painful process but I will most likely also love these characters I made. You guys will see them beforehand, of course, but I'll ask you to not ask me to change anything on them. Like I said, they're not going to look like the characters you remember. At all. At the beginning of Chapter 4 there will be a warning message explaining why these characters look different.

I know I will get my rendering assets back. I know this 100%. And once I have my hands on these files, I will remake every single render I made already, even if Chapter 4 has been released already. This process will take weeks but I will do it, no matter what. Even if some of you will like these new characters more, they're not going to stay once I have my stuff back. I hope you guys understand this. I hope you guys will accept that I'm going to do that, no matter what. No matter how long it takes and how long this means an update for My New Family 2 or MNM: The Beginning has to be delayed. This is a deeply personal decision and I hope you guys can respect that.

This is all I wanted to tell you guys. This means that Chapter 4 will release sometimes this year, my guess is shortly after I published the first playable version of My New Family 2. I'm sorry you guys had to wait so long, I completely understand your frustration and the decision to stop supporting me. Two and a half years is a long ass time, I could have done this two years ago already but...No. I could not have. The most important part is that I made this decision myself, without anyone forcing me.

From the bottom of my heart I want to thank each and every person that accepted and respected my decision to wait this long. You guys are truly the most amazing community in the world and if it wasn't for you, I would not be here anymore. Thank you and I love you guys.
