[Kytronix]

Kytronix, you alright there?

Was busy the entire week, moving furniture. Afterwards, I got sick.

Hello there you super cute and extremely wholesome people!

Another week, another progress update!

I received an email from my lawyer ( after I asked last week on an ETA or an option to increase the whole process ) and the answer I received was...Nothing new, sadly. He told me that "normally", it takes a few months to get your hardware back. It can be weeks, but his experience is more like months and there is no way to accelerate the progress. I will have a phone appointment with him this week though to talk about possibilites, because it will be seven weeks now that my stuff got confiscated and we should at least have access to the case files by now ( hopefully ). I will keep you guys posted regarding this shit situation. That is of course not a final solution and while I'm still figuring things out, I know what I will do if november doesn't bring any news. Like I said a few times, I really appreciate you guys supporting me through these times, even if it means waiting for an update for My New Memories even longer, but I don't feel good in receiving money during these times. I will tell you guys what I do once those days are coming up. Don't worry though, no matter what happens, I will continue to write stuff for Chapter 4. And as soon as I get my ssds back ( I really hope they check them first ) I can order a new computer and start rendering immediately. It's just a matter of - you gussed it - time...

Just a heads up, the pre-release will be ready tonight or rather, early tuesday morning if you are from Europe. I know I promised it for the weekend, but some stuff happened. I don't have an exact time yet, but it will be in the next 5-6 hours at max! Once the pre-release is posted, I will make another post tomorrow to tell you about the public release. Keep in mind that while this is the Epilogue of My New Family, it won't be fully "completed" yet, since I want to merge both versions ( 0.14 and then 1.0 ) into one version for Windows, Linux and MAC users, so you don't need two parts anymore. I have no idea how long it will take to do that, though, since I initially planned to work with my regular versions of My New Family. I'll keep you guys posted on that. I'm really sorry it's taking so much longer than I initially planned, I know that a lot of shit is going on for me at the moment, but I feel like that should not be an excuse anymore. Working on My New Family keeps me distracted to think about "What happens if...", so I should have done more. I hope that once you guys play the epilogue it will make up for the extremely long waiting time ( 0.23 for MNF released in december 2022 and writing that hurts ).

Thank you for the kind words on the lewd render with Bethany as well! I knew seeing her naked was a sight a lot of us missed, so making a render with her was a lot of fun. Like I said in the lewd render post, this week I will put Sabrina and Bethany in one render. Making these renders helps me kinda refocus on what is important and it really makes me feel a little better that I can "at least" work with those two models.

Lastly, I made a "normal" render with Bethany again. Since I can redownload all the assets I used for My New Memories except the character models ( and the main house, since I changed that up a bunch ), I can at least do a little work with the assets I have. So making stuff in Bethanys apartment or in Sabrinas apartment for future dialogues is going to help once I have my other characters back. So making the renders for those events will help in the end.

And I think thats it for now. I wish I had better news to share, I really do, and this shit is dragging me down more and more every day. I just hope I can report something positive soon. Until then, thank you guys again for being the best community in the world. I love you from the bottom of my heart.

Happy Halloween from the gingers and Elaine!

Public release for the epilogue will be tomorrow, 17:00 CET ( that's 9am PT ) by the way. I made a little post on patreon/ss that explains it better, so let me just copy paste that part:

I have to give a heads up though, while My New Family will technically be "completed" by then, it's not fully done. Once I merge 0.14 and the epilogue into one big file, I will add a few improvements to the story, change a few early game renders up and double check for continuation errors etc. I don't have an exact timeline for that, though, so if you are all about the content then the game will be completed for you, but not really . Keep in mind that the one big release will only be for Windows, Linux and MAC, since Android doesn't support APK's this Large.

I don't know how F95 handles this and if they will slap the "Completed" tag on it, but just a heads up if that happens!

so tomorrow we will get the COMPLETED GAME?
I have been waiting years for this. So just to clarify, (i dont care about 1 big file), this will be the END of My New Family 1?

Thanks. I've been avoiding to go too far, I want to experience the End in one BIG final meal. I am maybe 3 or 4 updates behind, it will be Epic (I think).

Peace

 

[Dark Silence]

I'll wait to finally do my restart on this. I'm so far behind anyway.

Yeah, in terms of story this should be the end. Not sure if I will add anything else inbetween ( like an extra event in previous days or stuff like that ), but in terms of story this should be the end.

 

[henk1]

If I understand you correctly the epilogue will be a new executable and everything. Will savegames carry over? Or will it pick up from the canon "romance everyone" option?

All updates are new executables, but yes, everything will carry over. If you saved at the end of 0.23 ( the wedding ) then it will continue there. And if you didn't get the wedding, you get one last chance to experience the true ending or else, this update will be... Idk, 10 minutes long

Does that mean it's an installer that points to a folder, overwriting its content?

I will be watching your subscribe star page for the drop!

 

[Uthuriel]

Nah, your usual renpy stuff

Then why the mention of an an *.exe file?

Every new release of every renpy game ever has a new exe... what has that to do with save games?
Am I missing something or was that other guy trolling?

I think the other guy was a little confused, I don't know...

 

[Stuart Hargreaves]

Cheers Killer know you've had some shit in your life hope thats sorted out soon, thanks for a great game here's looking forward to MNF2

 

[AslanBalaur]

OMFG! I am so excited. MNF is one of the first VN's I ever started. I think you'd not yet published the first vacation when I started, so seeing the conclusion, the "COMPLETED" tag applied is major to me. I cannot wait to see how things wrap up. Naturally that doesn't lessen how eager I am for MNF2!!

 

[ILCjr]

Patiently waiting for another 5 Hours and 09 Mins for the game to drop!
