You summarized that very well, I too remember thinking that MC's father deserved what he got in the end.

Just to clarify, there's Chapter 1-9 (should go to .14) and the Final/epilogue, which is part 2 and the main downloads. (I didn't see any problems with the gofile links for either just now, so at least that works.) So if you're looking for a file that says ".15" in the name, no, you won't find it. As for the rest of the listed issues, you can use the REPORT button on the OP when you come across stuff like that. If there's at least one working link they should fix it eventually, or remove the link.
Unfortunately, ever since all the games with any hint of incest had their threads taken from the Dev's control, they no longer can fix OPs themselves (at least, I don't think they can...), so just complaining in the thread means someone else has to make that report for you ...

Hello there you super cute and extremely wholesome people!
Another week, another progress update!
I made some great progress on the script for the second beta of Chapter 2, which will most likely release this month. I'm happy that the "new" change I made where the betas are smaller ( but still as big as a MNF Beta ) really helped me in getting more of a good writing and rendering flow again. This will be the beta that ends the first "day" of the second chapter. After you had dinner with Katharina and Lea ( and Katharina asking you for something very weird ), you have a longer talk with Lea about this and that - with also some more subtle foreshadowing that there might be a big reveal at the end of this chapter. The two will also talk about their current relationship and how things might progress. Once you're home, Bethany ( as you can see in the render ), will have a longer talk with you as well, where she will mention this and that and ask you a few questions you didn't know you had to answer. I want to keep it more casual and relaxed, like usual, and then the MC will go to bed and sleep. Just...Ah, no, I'm not going to spoil that. You'll see it when you play it ( and as a supporter, that will be this month most likely !). I'm also going to add a beta branch to Steam soon, but I don't have figured out how much content I'm going to add there.
So while I mainly have the big reveal at the end of chapter 2 in mind for the prequel, I'm also looking into some interesting plots I can work out in the main game. You probably remember Lisa, the girl from the hotel, right? Well, the MC tells Anna all about what they did and Anna is very interested to hear more about this. As you know she has this certain kink regarding the MC, and when he reveals that he wasn't really inactive while she was in a coma, she's going to suggest a few things they could do. Anna likes to spice things up a little and cause some... Let's say, funny drama. I don't want to get into too much detail, but you guys will either hate it or find it as funny as it was writing this part. Don't forget, my games are never about the drama or stuff like that, that's why I called it funny drama. Anna is a prankster after all, right? Crazy Germans, I'm telling you. Oh, there is also going to be some news that Lena will drop casually on the side that will change things up a lot, I got a few flashbacks to Fiona regarding that. Not going to spoil more, though.
And I think thats it for now! Sorry that this is not a longer progress update, but I'm really interested to hear your feedback once this second beta for the prequel is done! If I can keep up this workflow then Chapter 2 will release way sooner than I expected! If you guys have any questions, feedback etc., don't hesitate to post a comment or send me a DM anywhere where you can find me! 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 wonderful, cute and very wholesome people!
Another month, another week, another progress update!
As some of you may have noticed I was able to release the second beta for My New Memories: The Beginning yesterday. If you were a $15 or higher tier supporter in the month of May, but decided to stop supporting for June ( or it just ran out in May ), send me a message and I'll provide you with the links. My plan was to release it in May so if you were supporting in may, you will be able to play it! $5 and higher tier will be able to play on friday and Steam will follow as well!
This beta contains one rather unique event compared to what I did in any of my games, so if you get the chance to play it, please don't hesitate to share your feedback! Todays progress update render is Sabrina though, who has a talk with the MC before they all go to bed ( If you decided to pursue Lea you will of course sleep with both of them again ). During the day, Sabrina and Lea noticed something weird regarding Bethany and Katharina. They are very concerned since it seems like Bethany received some news that rather shook her up, compared to Katharina who apparently also received some news and who seems rather happy about it. This is all going to lead into something I will reveal at the end of this prequel Chapter, which will most likely surprise all of you. It took me quite some time to figure out how I can do this so it will make sense for the main game as well, I had so many different scenarios in my mind and I think I finally came up with one that makes the most sense. You'll see what I mean with the next Beta as well, since I will do what I always did, provide you with hints so that you will still be surprised at the end, but you can also say "Oh, I knew that."
While I added the final touches to the second Beta, I also put a lot of effort into the Main Game again. So you probably remember what happened with Bethany at the end of Chapter 3. I also mentioned that even though she said something different, deep inside her heart she probably wants to continue what her and the MC started. It's not easy for her though, and something from the prequel will play into this talk. You know how I write my MCs, he is never pushy but he stands firm with what he wants. Bethany tries to convince him that those feelings are wrong, but ends up stumbling upon her own words. With some encouragement that the MC got from Anna I think it's time for her to embrace fully what they started. What do you think?
And I feel like thats it for now. Lately, my mental health has not been that good again because My lawyer and I are still being ignored by the state attorney(s) of my city, it seems like. All requests have been unanswered and we feel like pressuring them with more will only lead to more silence. But we'll figure something out. It's been over 1 1/2 years already and while investigating data can take up to 2 years in Germany, I didn't have that much data to look through to begin with. I'll keep you guys posted on this. Until then, stay awesome, like usual! And don't forget to send me a message regarding the things I said above!
Not accessible anymore, at least without a fucking validated account with age verification :'(

I was able to get the gallery mods without an account, so maybe it depends on which country you're from.
Anyway, here you go.

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 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!

Hot take but in real life I think a person like Martin is more redeemable than someone like Elaine or Becca. I know I know, reprehensible interpretation but bear with my necessary text wall.You summarized that very well, I too remember thinking that MC's father deserved what he got in the end.
A SLOW PAINFUL DEATH.
Martin's acts are on paper undoubtedly more heinous. But all descriptions of him line up perfectly with someone who suffers from genuine mental illness. It explains his substance abuse problems, violent outbursts, inability to keep a job and why he lives in a relative shithole despite being intelligent. He is obviously miserable. Of course someone like this would not react well to threatening to take away the only person he loves. Which he really seems to as he does things like hospitalizing people he thinks hurt his son unprompted.
His apology and repentance on the call is also more believable. He could have easily spent the rest of his short life making them as miserable as he is. Instead he chooses to accept his son's harsh words without retaliation. A shockingly out of character act of taking responsibility for such a violent unstable controlling person. Which leads me believe it's conceivable someone like him could learn to be a better person with sobriety, medication and therapy.
Whereas the way it's written, I simply do not buy Becca or Elaine's alleged severe grief in any fashion. They are actually the ones that come off as completely self-serving individuals. They are obviously completely sane, which is why they can still build such great lives for themselves despite such life wrenches being thrown at them. This makes their decades long active choice to abandon MC with someone they believe to be an abusive drunken potential murderer next level despicable. Threat or no, Martin limitations are still very much human. Which means every day they woke up and didn't work towards saving MC was a day they were basically choosing to sacrifice their (grand)son for their own happiness. A day that could have cost MC his life in numerous ways, including what MC almost did to himself. These are certainly not the actions of a truly loving (grand)parent. And unlike Martin's, these acts done daily are all premeditated. Made while entirely sane and sober.
Becca's behavior is especially egregious. Her passive cowardice is one thing. But even with porn logic, I don't buy there's any way you just start a new family in such an ongoing situation if you're in that alleged amount of mental distress. This isn't like getting a new dog after the old one passed away. He's your child and he is still alive and suffering every day. How do you even get dressed for a date, let alone marry and have children so quickly in said circumstances? This is not a normal reaction and almost explains why Martin believes what he does about women. She shouldn't need her sister to merely help her get a fancy job. She would need her sister to get her out of bed and force feed her. The fact that she not only functions but accomplishes all these great things means that her depression amounted to no more than occasional bouts of guilt in idle moments. The kind we all have about mundane bad life experiences.
It is clear that unlike Elaine she did in fact completely move on. Despite her claims, her son was in fact replaceable. And saving him was obviously not as important to her as achieving a lavish lifestyle for his shockingly age appropriate replacement, Sandra. The only reason she's there for him now is because the problem solved itself. His existence now fits neatly into this new comfy life she gained by sacrificing him. So now she can cosplay being a caring mother to her handsome adult son, whom she's also seduces, by giving him nice things and cooking him the occasional pancakes.
This is also made worse by the fact that unlike Martin, the game doesn't really make them take responsibility and face consequences. He doesn't berate and abandon them like he does Martin. He hastily forgives them to impress Sandra. Instead putting 100% of the blame on the obviously miserable mentally ill guy that went through who knows what. Which brings us to the fact that we hear everyone's version of these events except Martin's. This could easily shine entirely new light on these events just as Becca's version did. Martin even alludes to the fact that the women in his life did the same thing to him as Melanie did to MC. This does not absolve him but certainly would explain a lot of loose ends. Like why Becca moved on so quickly as to have a daughter nearly MC's age. Why she is painted as even wilder than the sister that sucks her estranged nephew off immediately and prostitutes him to her boss. Why Martin says MC would not survive the truth about his mother. Why he disowns Alice. Maybe even why one of his sisters is part cat lol. WHAT DID YOU DO TO FLUFFY, BECCA!
Don't get me wrong, game-wise that's still the right choice to dump it all on him as frankly no one plays this type of harem game for the guys. But it is imo a flaw in the initial premise. And the justification for their actions wouldn't remotely fly if they weren't sexy milfs the player was actively trying to add to the harem.

We don't know enough about Martin to assume that abstinence from alcohol, medication and therapy would really help him. My assumption is rather that he would use that as an excuse and justification for his behavior if there were real consequences in order to hope for a lighter sentence. Let me remind you that he sent his son's ex's new boyfriend to a wheelchair. I frankly don't remember if this new boyfriend knew that this girl had a boyfriend at the time or not, but even if he did, that doesn't justify what Martin did.
For Becca, on the other hand, the situation surrounding MC is something that has had a lasting impact on her life. My argument for this: the situation surrounding her second daughter, Lucy. Her second husband gave her a choice: Abort Lucy or he's gone. She still had huge feelings of guilt and therefore made the only right decision. It also caused her to never be in a relationship with a man again (until MC showed up and they patched up their relationship, but I dismiss the sexual dynamic between her and MC as pornology). And even then, the scars were still there and she was very hesitant, the first cat jokes she made to Lucy (and which no family member ever meant any offense) were only after Lucy had also moved on from her trauma.
Was it rational how she acted? Definitely not, but very few people who go through a marriage like her first one would be able to do so in such a situation. The fact that there was no support from her mother and sister was just the icing on the cake. She definitely needed psychological counseling, I think. The problem is that a) it is difficult to get appointments and such things tend to fizzle out and b) there are always huge negative prejudices against psychotherapy and people who seek it and c) not every person who works in this field is really competent
I more or less agree with you about Elaine. As the matriarch of the family, there was no one left to tell her clearly when she was going too far, the only one who did that was her late husband. Theoretically, Becca could have tried that, but since her sister said yes and amen to everything Elaine decided, that would have undermined her point. Apart from that, Elaine reminds me, especially at the beginning, of the mother of a former work colleague: she was totally against his wife and when he did marry her, he was practically dead to her. She also never had any contact with her granddaughters or, and I find this really tragic because it happens rarely enough, with her great-grandson.
