Hello there you wonderful and super wholesome people!

Another month, another week, another progress update!

First I want to say thank you to the insane ammounts of comments and messages I got on the 6 year anniversary post. It truly means the world to me that you guys are so understanding regarding the situation and the fact that you seem to like the idea of putting "Younger" Anna and Lena in the prequel makes me even happier. So thank you for that!

Now, let's talk about the games!

I'm still working on the next Chapter 2 beta and I'm making decent progress. In todays render you see Rei who decided to have breakfast with the MC again - I "skipped" the week of university and now the MC can spend his weekend with his favorite girls again. The situation with Rei is a special one since the MC is kinda leaning towards telling her about Anna, but not the full detail. I guess this is going to be a fine line he has to walk in general. He can tell Rei that Anna is a childhood friend, but maybe he shouldn't say how close they are? And then comes the question why Anna is not contacting Rei more often. Or maybe they talk regularly and Rei doesn't seem to mind not sharing it - I mean, why should she, it's not like she has any idea that the MC, Sabrina and Lea know her. It's all pretty mysterious but one thing I can promise you is that the outcome will be positive. That is also the case for the big reveal that is about to happen at the end of this chapter - It won't be as big as the Rei thing, but you guys will probably still say "Whoa. Cool. And fuck you for stopping there." You know I love to do these things.

I also put a decent amount of effort into Chapter 4 and MNF2 again. I really want to release the first playable version for My New Family 2 this year and the good thing is, no matter what I'll use to make the renders, it won't take long compared to the renders I have to make for MNM. Still, I owe you guys previews etc and I promise I will deliver them. The same goes for some Chapter 4 stuff, but I already talked about all of that in the anniversary post. For now the plan is to use Anna and Lena with a lot of modifications for the prequel and the other characters that an awesome dev ( Terminator ) made will be put on hold at the moment. I don't have a definitive timeframe on how long I'll wait, just that using these characters for the main game will be my absolute last straw, if everything else fails. Like I said in the post, it's a very personal decision. Still, writing on Chapter 4 goes super smooth right now and the script will most likely be done this year, which only leaves rendering open to me.

And I feel like thats it for now, people. Thank you so so much again for all the comments on yesterdays post. You guys truly are amazing and I'm forever grateful to you people for keeping me floatin'. If anything new 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!

This week will be the 6 year Anniversary of the first ever game release from me. On August 31st 2019 I posted My New Family 0.1 on the internet and I will have my usual anniversary post coming up on that day, so stay tuned for that!

Let's talk about the games!

As some of you may have noticed, the next Beta for the prequel released yesterday for $15 and higher tier supporters. If you want to play this beta right away, you can do so if you are in the right tier and join the Discord ( I can also DM you the links, though ). This beta will be available for $5 and higher tier supporters this week, most likely on wednesday ( same might go for Steam ). So far the feedback I have gotten made me pretty happy, since most of you amazing people are still confused what the hell might have happened between Bethany and Katharina. Katharina is also in todays progress update render, where she has a more serious talk with the MC regarding something he did the day before. She is not very happy with him but also not too strict, but it's still interesting to see Katharina like that ( especially if you consider what they did before if you followed a certain path with her ). I'm already working on the next part of Chapter 2 and I'm very happy it took me less than a month to release this beta. I'll try to release the next one even faster, I'll keep you posted regarding that!

While I finished up the latest beta, I also invested some more time into My New Family 2. It's interesting for me to write stuff about MNF2 without even having finalized what kind of engine I want to use for the characters and stuff. It's still up in the air, but writing up the story is usually more difficult than coming up with renders, at least for me. I started to write a cute morning dialogue with one of the tennants and the MC, but it's nothing concrete yet. More concrete stuff is in the works for My New Memories Chapter 4 though, but that would be too much of a spoiler. Let's just say it involves Sarah in a very interesting way ( again ). That's all I'm going to say.

I also got an email from my lawyer that we are trying to get a response from the state attorney again. I asked a few AIs ( chatgpt etc ) why the state attorneys are so slow here and the most common answer is "understaffed and too much to do". I feel like that is a super weak excuse for something that happened almost 2 years ago, but okay. I'll keep you guys posted on that.

And I think thats it for now, guys. If anything new comes up I'll let you guys know asap. Until then, enjoy the beta if you are a supporter and stay awesome!

Hello there you wonderful and very wholesome people!

Another week, another progress update!

Well, the script is finally fully done and I'm fully focusing on renders now. It's not going to be that many, I think ( and hope ), so I'm hopeful the next beta might be ready this weekend - I'm doing my best. I'm super happy that I needed less than a month to finish this part, but I think I can still do it faster without sacrficing content. Todays render shows Bethany and Lea during the evening. The MC had a longer talk with Sabrina before where they talk about this and that, if you remember, and now he'll talk to Bethany a little bit before it's time to go to bed. I decided to not do a similar event like I did in the last beta for the night ( if you played it you know what I mean ), so it will just be a regular night time ( with Lea and Sabrina, if you decided to go that route ). After this, I'm 2/3rd done with Chapter 2 and I think the last day will be the most eventful so far, especially in terms of "Lewd things". Still, that evening talk with Bethany will contain a lot of emotional and heartfelt moments that those two didn't share for a while, so you can look foward to that!

Speaking of the curly haired ginger lady, I decided to give her some love in Chapter 4 of the main game as well. You all remember how things turned out in Chapter 3 with her and what her and the MC did. I also mentioned that Bethany might need a little more persuasion to fully embrace her feelings. The MC is not going to pressure her ( something that will make a lot of sense if you played Chapter 2 of the prequel eventually ) and I already said that he has to convince her a little. The thing is, the MC can't keep this a secret and Bethany doesn't expect him to. With Anna being awake, she has to know...And she might want to have to say in this as well. If there is one person in the My New Memories universe that could convince Bethany a little easier, it's Anna. Those two have been as close as they can be given their relationship, so she will eventually be there to talk about it too. And who knows where this might lead...We all know she is a crazy half German half Japanese woman.

And I think thats it again for now. I'm in contact with my lawyer again and I hope to have some more news in the next few days or weeks. We have been kinda radio silent in the hopes that the state attorney might respond then, but it looks like we might have to pursue a different route ( involving something that forces them to respond in a way, I don't really know how to say it in english ). Until then, stay awesome!

Hello there you wonderful and very cute people!

Another week, another progress update!

I'm at the last event of the next beta now and the writing will be done today or tomorrow - and in the meantime, I'm already rendering as well. So, like I promised, the next beta for Chapter 2 of the prequel will be done way sooner than the last one - Which is very good for me personally, especially mentally. I'm always happy to deliver updates in time and it has been a long, long while since that was possible, so having the next beta ready "so soon" is good, I hope. Todays render shows sabrina in the living room, where the MC will have a longer talk with her about everything that has happened during the day - And he will also mention a special thing that happened during the night. Sabrina will reveal some things that the MC didn't know yet, or rather, that he was a little too dull to see. It's an overall wholesome event with the cute green eyed lady, and they will also talk a little bit more about how they want to progress their relationship. A lot has happened, after all...

This also leads to some things that will make more sense in the main game now. I don't want to make it so you have to know the prequel to get certain things in the main game, since the prequel is newer and not everyone wants to play it. But there will be a few inside jokes that will already start to happen in Chapter 4. It will make perfect sense even if you didn't play the prequel, but if you did play it, it will be a little funnier. We had those in the prequel already as well, so think of it like it was there. Oh, and if you remember ( I know, it has been a while ), there was a certain talk the MC had with Sarah in the elevator of the hospital. He tells Anna about it and she kinda urges him to finally do it. What exactly she means with that...Well, I guess we gotta talk to Sabines mother in the end, right?

And I feel like thats it for the moment, people. Sorry that this progress update is not as long, but I don't want to spoil too much since the beta release is soon! If I hear anything new regarding my case, then I'll let you guys know as soon as I hear it, like I promised. 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!

As some of you may have noticed, I finally released the 3rd Beta for Chapter 2 of the prequel. It took me longer than I wanted, mainly because I was experiencing some writers block, but I'm pretty sure that's over now and writing for the fourth Beta should not take nearly as long ( it will 100% release in August ). Currently, the beta is available for $15 and higher tier supporters, but will be made available for $5 and higher tier supporters this week. Remember, if you were a supporter during the month of June, don't hesitate to send a DM to me to get access to this beta!

So far the feedback has been good and especially the event with Amelie was a nice surprise for most of the people that played it so far. The next parts of the day will also include a pretty nice lewd event with Katharina, who is very eager to spend some time with the MC. Initially during this event she will have a more serious talk with the MC though, mainly regarding the situation that apparently unfolded between her and Bethany, or rather, after they got some interesting news the day before. She is not really happy with how the MC and Sabrina handling these things, so it will show a different side of Katharina. Still, she will return to her old self pretty fast and since she loves teasing the MC, it will be an overall fun event between those two. I feel like I can acclerate work on Chapter 2 by a lot now, since I have the events of this day already fully planned out ( Beta 3 is basically the halfway point before release, so a release of Chapter 2 is sooner than later ). Todays render is Jackie and the MC walking through the neighborhood.

I'm still doing my best to adjust the recreated models of the main girls of MNM ( Anna, Lena, Sarah, Lina, Yukiko, Sophie, Morgan and Olivia ) so they look closer to the ones you know from the main game. I'm still ways off, but I think eventually I will be able to give you guys a preview of how they look - With a side by side comparison, I guess. Then you can decide for yourself if the differences are small enough to put them into Chapter 4 or if you'd prefer me to wait until I get my things back - Which will 100% happen, like I said a dozen times by now, it's just a matter of time. I'd prefer to wait but if the majority of you amazing people are fine with the models, I wouldn't mind using them for now. I can always go back and replace them in the end once I have my stuff back - Like I said, it's not a process that will take long ( I'd say ~2-3 weeks max ).

And I think thats it for now. Sorry that I don't have more to share for now. Don't forget to download the beta from Discord if you are a supporter, I greatly appreciate all feedback you can provide! If anything new comes up, I'll let you guys know! Until then, stay awesome, like usual!
