Hello there you wonderful and super wholesome people!

Another week, another progress update!

I made great progress for the final release of Chapter 2 again! I finished 4 out of the 5 animations and the renders are also about 80% done, I'd say, so my statement that Chapter 2 will release this month is still true! Todays render shows Sabrina , which gets the second to last event of Chapter 2, where you will have a longer and more interesting talk with her. You will talk about their future together, if they eventually move away, and how this might affect their life, since it looks like none of their friends will tag along. You have a similar talk with Bethany, but from a different perspective, and since the MC and Sabrina are so close, it's an easier thing for them to talk about. Of course there is a big unknown variable there, named Anna, and if you played the main game you already know what will happen eventually. Still, this is something that they talk about and that is of great importance to them ( the MC will also tell her what Bethany said )

Once I'm done working on Chapter 2 I will fully transition into putting all my time in My New Family 2, to get a playable release out for supporters as soon as possible. Of course I won't keep people who don't support me on any platform away from infos from the game and I will post screenshots and examples of things I'm working on even outside of my usual weekly progress updates. The renders I post every week for all members ( free or paid ) will also continue, as I want to provide updates for everyone in the community while still sticking to give people some extra benefits if they decide to support financially. So of course Betas for My New Family 2 are part of that!

And I feel like thats it for now, people. Sorry that there is not much more to talk about but I'm about to add the finishing touches on Chapter 2 of the prequel. I can't wait until it's out for everyone to enjoy so I can fully focus on My New Family 2. If anything new comes up I'll let you guys know, until then, stay awesome!

Hello there you wonderful and very cute people!

Another month, another week, another progress update!

I'm still working away on Chapter 2 of the prequel and I'm making great progress. Like I said in last weeks post, Chapter 2 will release 1000% this month. I don't know when exactly but I'm more or less done with all the renders I need, after that I just have to finish some writing and then make the animations, which usually don't take long either ( at least for the moment, since I'm not going all out like I did in My New Memories ). I feel like this chapter is a good point to switch over to My New Family 2, even though you guys will most likely hate me for the ending again ( kinda like you did for the initial release ). I'm pretty unhappy with how long it took to develop this chapter ( 10 months ) so yeah...I hope the content you get will make it up for it. Theres plenty of lewd content in this chapter as well, a big stepup compared to the first one and I hope you guys will enjoy that as well! While my games will still always focus on story, I also want to include more NSFW stuff in them! Todays render is Jackie in the spa room before the MC and her go to the sauna!

Speaking of My New Family 2, once Chapter 2 is out I will finally start showing you guys the things I worked on in the back. I'm still undecided on which version of Honey Select I will use, so I will most certainly provide examples for both. I just would ask you guys to keep an open mind about things, no matter what your initial thoughts on either engine are when it comes to rendering. If you hate honey select 1 and prefer honey select 2 thats fine, and if its the other way around and you just cant get used to honey select 2, at least wait until you see what I'm doing there. Like I said, an open mind helps, you can always dislike it in the end anyway, I just wish that you don't condemn anything right from the get go. As the people nowadays say, let me cook!

And I feel like thats it for now. Not much to report regarding the main game since I fully focus in finishing chapter 2 of the prequel for you guys! If I hear anything in the meantime, I'll let you guys know, of course! Until then, stay awesome!

Hello there you extremely cute and very wholesome people!

Another month, another week, another progress update!

I'm making great progress on the next beta for the prequel, with only one event left for writing! Todays render is Katharina again, this time in a store that apparently sells lingerie...Fun fact, it's the same store you also saw in My New Family, I think the MC goes there with Mary. Anyway, this will include a lewd event with the hot ginger cougar, and after that, you will have that more serious talk with her. First the fun, then work, or something like that? I'm super happy that I'm progressing faster than I initially anticipated, so the next beta might be ready in 1 1/2 weeks - So the next weekend ( not the coming one ). Changing to more and "smaller" betas was the right call. The last event of the second day will be some alone time with Sabrina, where the MC opens up about a certain dream he had the night before. After Jackie revealed a few things during the talk the MC had with her before, he will also ask Sabrina some questions regarding Anna and her family. I know what I'm writing here probably doesn't make much sense if you didn't play the first few betas of Chapter 2 yet but trust me, it will be worth it! Remember, the latest beta is available for $5 and higher tier supporters right now and already contains a good amount of Chapter 2!

I'm also making good progress on the main game ( Chapter 4 ). With the ginger twins and Karla arriving, the other household members are very happy to spend some time with them - The best opportunity for the MC to get some alone time with girls that we didn't see that often yet. Samantha, to be precise, will be visiting the MC at home, mainly to hear what happened the night before but also for other things. After all the things those two have been through, it's only natural that they might see their friendship progress into something more. Still, they will also talk about what the future might bring now that Mike has been dealt with. Don't worry, there will not be any consequences or someone else taking his place as a villain, I noticed right away that I'm not the biggest fan of these antagonists in games that last too long. In general, it will just be a serious and then more casual talk with the dark skinned beauty. And I guess the MC didn't forget that she's the sister of his best friend...So I wonder what Martin will think about it

Lastly, there is My New Family 2. Yes, I'm actively working on it and the reason I don't have much to share yet is because I'm still figuring things out. I guess you can call it a little "comeback" after I was a little mentally exhausted again while working on the prequel. Spreading my work out and still getting things done feels great and I think I found a good balance for that.

And I think thats it for now, people. If anything new comes up I'll let you guys know, we are nearing the 2 year mark since the worst thing ever happened in my life. It's thanks to you guys and your amazing support that I can continue doing what I love, even with all the setbacks. Your feedback, comments etc. make me happy to turn my computer on every day and work on these games for you!

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!
