This is not my experience, nor the experience of the overwhelming majority of people I know. Probably less than 5%.

I don't know if this is just the popular trope for getting a son/brother/nephew/grandson to "fuck and heal" all the women he's connected to, or if the Devs that lean towards this type of VN had actual bad dad issues and are imputing their experiences to every man on the planet because of that (well, every man that isn't them, obviously).

This is a very depressing aspect of this VN and every time I see the hate (but written off as "well, not really hate", even though it is hate being disguised as indifference) it bugs the hell out of me. Yeah, some sperm donors are real douche bags, but, of those I know, the overwhelming majority are decent humans that love their kids. And a good dad tries to guide them and provides discipline when they fuck up or do things that will hurt them or others. The worst dads are the "free range" dads that never try to guide their kids or raise them with ethics, morals and respect. But, I guess in a 'cest VN, the most virtuous people are the amoral people.

It's not reality, so I guess it can fly in an imaginary world. Glad that's a world I don't live in.
To be fair, "a lot of people" doesn't have to mean a majority of people. 5% of 8 billion is still a lot of people. Even 1% would be.

That said, if there's more than 100,000 people in the MnF world, I'd be surprised. But 5,000 is still a lot of people ...

But it's everyone the people in the VN know. Every. Damn. One.

I guess the Tanja pet route just unceremoniously ends after the one scene in Chapter 10? Not that I was a fan of it, but played as a completionist. Might have been better to have not offered it at all - wouldn't have really been missed and the scene could have been converted to the better route with Tanja or given to one of the "one and done" girls.

I'm curious what language the VN dialogue was originally drafted in before being put into the script. Some of the syntax is a little odd, but I'm used to those kinds of variances with all the VNs I play, but the names for the dessert items are killing me! :LOL:

"Ice cream" frequently gets truncated to just "ice" and while cakes get called cakes, pies also get called cakes. Sandra just made a nice peach pie, but called it a peach cake - there was one earlier in the episode that was clearly and apple pie asset also called "cake" in the script. I think the translation also substituted "candy" for "sweets" a few times, while "sweets" was also used. I'm guessing the base language uses a particular term that can be interpreted in more than one way into English depending upon context. In English, "sweets" is a catch-all for sweet cakes, pies, ice cream, candies, pastries and all manner of sugary food items, but it doesn't necessarily go both ways - all candies are sweets, but not all sweets are candies.

Anyway, just one of those observations.

K7 is German, so either he writes it as ESL or he writes then self-translates, although I think he has people to check that stuff now, not sure if he did in on My New Family.

EDIT: I know the British call cookies "biscuits", fries "chips" and potato chips "crisps" ... but no idea if Germans call pies "cakes".

Maybe he was actually looking at Sandy and not the pie when he said that.

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 ( WEDNESDAY ). 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!

In running the non-pregnancy route I have, on the day of the baby shower, it doesn't happen, but Fiona still refers to it, as does Sandy, and Fiona also talks about being a godmother and potentially getting pregnant. I guess not wanting pregnancy was a real no-no for Killer... Should have just made that a kinetic element - with all the reminders and inconsistencies, it's clear how little respect there was for making that choice...

Really? I figured this would get more or less forced on the pregnancy path, but, unless you're a freak of nature, NO WOMAN is "very fertile" at the age of 60 - and she'd have to be at least that. Very youngest would be late 50s, and I don't know any woman my age that hasn't hit the "Big M".

Since there is not MNF2, as far as I can tell, the following doesn't seem as necessary. However, with your commitment to only to being happy with and supporting one single ending, maybe this should have all been kinetic instead of giving the illusion that choices were truly an option.

If there are multiple choices and multiple routes, people are going to take them. Instead of effectively punishing people for going the way you don't want them to go, just don't give them the choice in the first place.

I'm currently playing another one that is so deeply engrossed in fucking and immediately impregnating everyone on the first possible shot that it's started to get annoying - particularly because of the tone the dialogue takes if you choose a no pregnancy route for any LI. It's like you're an evil person for not being utterly irresponsible and impregnating every woman you encounter.

I don't think MNM has gone this way (from my recollection), but guilt tripping people with different perspectives in a VN is bothersome.

Just food for thought.

German is close to dutch with some things, In Dutch ice cream is just "Ijs" or "Ijsje"...so yea the literal translation would be just "Ice". Cakes and pie are callled "taart" in Dutch and close in German i believe, we use both for cakes and pies. So yes when translated it will just translate to cake.

I can see that happening with "taart". In English, "tart" usually refers to a pastry/dessert that I consider to be kind of halfway between a cake and a pie - usually doesn't have pastry over the top and may or may not have a "sponge" element. I make a Bavarian apple tart that will knock your socks off, and have altered the recipe to do a pear version as well that has sage rather than cinnamon - that may sound odd, but trust me, it's out of this world. I substitute in a bit of pear liqueur for most of the vanilla in that one as well. That's the thing about baking: it's science moreso than art so you can't just add liquid and hope it comes out the same - something new goes in, something else has to come out. :LOL:
