Hello there you wonderful and super wholesome people!

Another week, another progress update!

Sorry about the lack of second post last week, I wasn't really in the right mindset yet to fully write down what my current plans an thoughts are, it's something I'm always reconsidering and I'll try to explain more in the post once it goes up. Should be this week 99% and if you've been waiting for that, sorry for that! Let's talk about the games!

I made some great progress on the script and I expect it to be fully done this week so that the next beta version can come out. Todays render shows Rei in the dorms where she is living at the moment. As you remember, Rei revealed that her cousin is Anna, the love of MCs life and probably more than that. The thing is, the MC was wondering why Anna never mentioned him, his sisters or Lea towards Rei. If your cousin moves to a country she never has been before, to a city where she doesnt know anyone, wouldn't you want her to know that there are people there that will greet her with open arms? Well, the MC thinks he got an answer regarding that question. How? That is something you'll discover once you play Chapter 2. Just keep in mind that this whole situation is very new to him and he will most likely consider to tell Rei about who Anna to him is. It's going to be a decision that you'll have to make, and I'm sure you're going to make the right one, since this will decide how not only Rei, but all the other girls see you as well. Think of it like the decision if you want to have tennants with Sandra in MNF, it will basically be a line that will span throughout the whole game.

While I was working on the prequel I was also working some more on My New Family 2. Since I still haven't fully decided yet what engine I'll use, this won't stop me from writing dialogues for the game itself. There's going to be a fun event with Becca and their tennant ( yes, I also don't like to say it ), which is going to be so confusing initially because of the whole relationship between the parties involved.

I also worked some more on My New Memories Chapter 4, giving Sarah and the MC some alone time during the first night after the Mike incident. it's an interesting situation, the MC knows Sarah better than she does know herself and Sarah knows the MC better than he knows himself, so they'll both try to get the upperhand because of a certain event that happened in that night. Why did Sarah do it? Did something like that happen before? And where will this lead now that Sarah went through another extremely traumatic experience? That's something they'll talk about and the outcome will decide on how their relationship will develop.

And I think thats it for now! Sorry again that I didn't make the promised post last week, I'll promise to do better. And if anything new comes up I'll let you guys know right away! Until then, stay awesome!

Hello there you wonderful and extremely cute people!

Another week, another progress update!

While I still have no update regarding my case, I do have an update that I will share this week regarding my decision on recreating the characters etc. The short version is that I'm going to actively seek out other developers ( or just 3d artists in general ) that have a good hand in recreating characters in DAZ3D, and try to work with them to make as faithful as possible copies of the My New Memories cast. If you know someone that is up to the task ( that person will get paid greatly for each character we can recreate ), don't hesitate to send them my way. Like I said, more on this this week in another post.

Let's talk about the games now!

I'm still working away on the next beta for Chapter 2 of the prequel and I feel like it's shaping up to be a very nice chapter in general. While girls like Rei and Lea got their spotlight a lot in the first chapter, I want to give characters like Amelie ( which you see in todays render at the university, talking to the MC ) and Jackie more love as well. Amelie in particular is going to be a fun character to write with, I think, and this interaction she has with the mc will help you decide if you want to get to know her better or not - After you helped her out of the awful situation she was in. I'm not going to throw more drama at you in that regard, I just want her and the MC to connect. Their mutual interest in music ( which she studies, as you know ) is only the beginning of something more. Amelie is just a fun character to be around with - even with her temperament sometimes. I don't know if I mentioned it yet but I feel like she is a mix of Maddie and Fiona from MNF combined with Sarah and Jessica from MNM. Interesting combination, I know.

So while the next prequel beta is going to release soon again, I also worked some more on the main game and My New Family 2. I'm still super confident that the first playable version of My New Family 2 will be released this year, which will be a somewhat special thing for me personally. I don't know if there are many sequels to adult visual novels that basically continue the household they newly got in the first game. I also worked some more on the main game but I can't spoil too much regarding that, because I just finished writing an event that means a lot to me - A very special time with Morgan and the MC, kinda like the dinner they had at that mexican place just more...Wholesome, I guess? Angel is something a lot of you want to protect and this will be an event that shows just how close her and the MC really are, something you wouldn't really think during the time the MC had amnesia.

And I think thats it for now! Like I said, I'll make another post this week where I will talk more about recreating the characters for My New Memories and what my plan is in general. If anything else comes up I'll let you guys know! Until then, stay awesome!

Hello there you wonderful and very cute people!

Another week, another progress update!

The second Beta for Chapter 2 has now been released for all $5 and higher tier supporters and is also available on the beta branch on Steam - So if you want to give it a go, you know where to find it!

I asked for feedback regarding the last scene of this beta and so far, the feedback has been amazing. I threw some shade in there regarding a certain situation and it seems like you people catched on to that - Which is good. I'm going to do something similar on the next "day" of Chapter 2, but I kinda want to shift the narrative into two directions. First, you have the situation with Rei being Anna's cousin - Something that will make the MC question his relationship with her and that has to be talked about with Rei as well, since she has to know ( you can decide to not tell her which will lead to rather bad consequences, though ). Then you have something going on regarding Bethany and Katharina. I can't spoil too much, but the people that played the beta know what I mean - And so far only a very small amount of people guessed correctly where I'll go with this one ( I'm not going to confirm or deny anything, just that some guessed correctly ). Bethany is also the star in todays render, on the next morning she has a talk with the MC where he can open up to something if you decide to do so - Keep in mind that the relationship between those two has always been very close and the MC could always rely on Bethany to lend him a helping hand with advices or just a nice, warm hug. This day will involve some fun with Amelie as well, a girl that didn't get any solo time with the MC yet. The next beta for Chapter 2 will be ready sooner than later and I aim for a release this month again!

While I worked on the prequel, I also started to invest some more time into My New Family 2. Given the fact that the cast will be a lot bigger than the one of MNF 1, I decided to continue with my initial plan and make it so you're not going to meet all the new girls at once in the first release. They might get mentioned, but you're not going to see them. If I had to describe the game it would probably be even more "Slice of life" compared to My New Family, where you will just experience daily stuff with your household, the new tenannts and of course all the waifus. I feel like this worked well for MNF 1 and even though some might call this boring, I know that the people that played the first game would disagree. So expect a lot of more wholesome stuff, especially involving Lucy, the MC and their tennant!

I also worked some more on the main game, giving Lina and the MC some time alone to continue their talk they had in the sauna. I want to progress their relationship a little faster, but not rush it at the same time. Especially regarding the scene you had with Sarah at the end of Chapter 3, Lina learns about it and gets a little jealous. Of course she doesn't really understand how deep the relationship between Sarah and the MC really is, given the fact that Lina is kept in the dark regarding her, well, very dark past. But she will try to one up her older sister, and it will be in a cute and funny way. Gingers are crazy after all and while Lina might not be a Mueller directly, she is one at heart and it will show. I wonder if Anna knew that this would happen...

And I think thats it for now, people. We had a small holiday here in Germany ( today everything is closed ) so I didn't get to make the phonecall I wanted to my lawyer...But there is always tomorrow. If anything new comes up, you guys will hear about it firsthand, no matter what it is. 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, like usual these last few weeks.

I'm preparing all the renders for the next part of the prequel Beta and I feel like I finally reached a point where the "big story twist" will make sense. It took a lot of thinking, especially regarding the main game and that nothing was mentioned there, but that actually played into my hands. I won't go into detail but once you play this part of the prequel, you might start to wonder what could have happened. I think I already talked about the fact that the MC is invited to have dinner with Lea and Katharina and that Katharina asks something of them ( if you started the relationship with Lea, that is ). Todays render is a short moment before they have this talk, where Lea is blushing a little because they talk about last night. Anyway, after this event you will have a talk with Bethany where she will act... Strange. She is not like she usually is and that is because she received some news. She is not really ready to share it yet because it will need more confirmation, but still, the MC is very confused. During this talk you will also get the chance to share with her who Rei's cousin is - And I highly recommend you make that choice. This second beta will end with something I planned for a while, the MC will have a dream and...Ah, you'll see what I do there once you play it! I'm still trying my best to release the beta this week, my guess is the weekend!

The prequel was of course not the only thing I worked on, but my work on the main game is causing a bit of distress right now. The fact that I don't have access to my characters is always there, but sometimes it bothers me more than other times, so it kinda impacts my ability to write for it. That is when I usually start to write more for My New Family 2. Yes, the game is already in development and while I mainly write for it now ( since I still haven't fully decided what I will use to make the renders ), I have a good idea on what I want to present to you in a first release. I want the game to be something people can enjoy no matter if you played the first one or not, but of course if you are a MNF enjoyer you will get a lot more out of it. There's going to be some fun stuff early on regarding Sandra, Alice, Lucy and the MC. The dynamic they have in the first game will continue in the second, with Lucy and the MC making Alice and Sandy sometimes roll their eyes because of the things they do and say. Let's just say that them having a tenant now just means that there is one more person to join the little cat and stupid pelican. And yes, I will release My New Family 2 this year.

That is something I will talk about in another post that is dedicated to that. I know that I have drastically slowed down how much I put out in terms of releases and content and the person that hates it the most is myself. The criticism I get for it is totally valid and I will do my best to make it up to you guys. I'm not going to put empty promises here and seek for excuses, I will own up to my mistakes and like I said a few times, it's totally fair if you decide to not stick around and/or support me anymore. The last thing I want for anyone that plays or played my games is that they support someone they think is not doing enough. Like I said, this is totally valid, so please don't attack people that say stuff like this.

But I think thats it for now! I will make an additional post once the Beta is ready, like usual! If anything new comes up I'll let you guys know! Stay awesome!

Hello there you super cute and very attractive people!

Another week, another progress update!

As you might have noticed, I was not able to release the first Chapter 2 prequel beta this weekend. The very good news is that it will release Tonight or rather, super early in the morning tomorrow ( My guess is between 1 and 3 am CEST ). I'm just missing 3 or 4 renders and then I have to apply the fixes my proofreader found in terms of typos etc. This first beta will be a good bit longer than the snippet, like I said a few times, it's about the size of one My New Family beta ( if you remember those days ). It will be mainly about Rei and Jackie, who you see in todays render, blushing. I wonder what she is going to talk about with the MC, but I'm pretty sure you already have a good guess. This will be one of those events where you make a decision, one that is rather important down the road. Jackie is a very special character to me because her past directly influenced the MC in the main game regarding the adoption of Sarah and Lina. I think once you play this part of the game you will understand what I mean with it. I can't wait to read your feedback for this first beta. Don't forget, $15 and higher tier supporters will get to play it at the times I mentioned above and $5 and higher tier supporters will get to play it on the weekend!

Since I was only making renders for the prequel I had a lot of time to work more on Chapter 4 and My New Family 2. I know most of you amazing people are waiting with a lot of anticipation to see how the girls look in My New Family 2. Don't forget, as soon as I show them they are still only concepts, so nothing you see is set in stone or might even happen like this. I'm still decicing on using Honey Select 1 ( the engine I used for MNF ), with the looks of the Christmas special, or Honey Select 2 ( that you might have seen used in games like Eternum ). Regarding Chapter 4, I was writing an event for Anna and the MC alone. It's going to be as romantic and "cheesy" as you probably expected from me when it comes to the developers favorite girl. I think the best comparison is to events you had alone with Sandra in My New Family, so there will be lots of kissing and hugging! And who knows, you might start to see some headpats ( not for Anna, but for some of the other girls that will randomly appear in this event ).

And I think thats it for now. If you are currently a supporter, stay tuned for the Chapter 2 Beta that will release later! Please don't hesitate to share any feedback you have regarding this beta. If anything new happens regarding my case I'll let you guys know, like usual! Stay awesome!

Hello there you wonderful and super sexy people!

Another week, another month, another progress update!

So, I messed up. Not intentionally, but I messed up. My plan was to finish the script for the first Chapter 2 beta of My New Memories: The Beginning last week and then make the renders, which would have taken me until the weekend for a most likely sunday release. Instead I got sick. I don't know if it's Covid again ( I have yet to make a test ) but during Monday evening last week I got the stuffy nose and then it went downhill from there. It might just be a bad cold simce I'm already recovering nicely, my nose is more or less free and I got the coughing / sore throat now, which usually means I'm at the end of the cold. To make a long story short, I wasn't able to finish as much as I wanted. But I'll make it up to you guys. If you have been a $15 supporter or higher in the month of March 2025, you'll get the first beta regardless, and once I release the second beta, $5 supporters that were there in March 2025 will get it as well. Just remember to send me a DM once the post with the beta is up and you'll get the links right away. Thats the least I can do.

Okay, now that I got that off my chest, let's talk some more about Chapter 2 of the prequel. I have a great idea for a huge plot twist you'll get at the end of it. I know I know, you love and hate me for doing this kind of stuff, but this one will be extremely different compared to anything I have ever done. It will be very positive but most likely be such a big surprise that will need a good explanation in the game before it gets unveiled, especially regarding things that happened in the main game. All I can say is that it involves Bethany and someone else, you're not getting anything else out of me. Todays render shows Bethany in MCs room, it's during the night of the same day the MC learns about Rei. They talk about it some more, but Bethany also expresses her feelings regarding the MC getting intimate with a decent amount of ladies already. She's not concerned or anything, she just wants to make sure that the girls are all cool with it, I guess? I guess it's a good thing she doesn't know what Lea, Sabrina and the MC did the night before. I'm super excited to work on this Chapter now that I have made up my mind regarding the plot twist, and I'll do my best to release it way quicker than Chapter 1 took. Like I said, I want to get out a nice flow of updates out again, so once Chapter 2 is released, I can hopefully release Chapter 4 of My New Memories and/or My New Family 2. Still, it feels good to be motivated again, and I'll make sure that these are not just words. I always have the motto of "Show, don't tell", so I'm going to make sure this will be the case.

With me being down with the sickness ( no pun intended ) it was rather difficult to work on Chapter 4 or My New Family 2, so I don't have much to share there. We're reaching the point that it has been 2 years since I released Chapter 3 and this was like a looming sword over me for a long time, so I'm also more or less bombarding my lawyer with calls and emails ( well, more emails since I can't really talk right now ) to urge him to get a response from the state attorney. Like I said a few months ago, I will go all the way to make sure that I get my SSD back that only contains my render assets. I really don't care about anything else they got fro0m me.

Sorry that this progress update is probably not what you expected. I don't want any pity or stuff like that, I deserve all the blame you want to throw at me ( be it with cancelling your support or anything else ). I'll make sure to make up for the lost time though, like I said above! If I hear anything new I'll let you guys know. Until then, stay awesome!
