Hello there you wonderful and very wholesome people!

Another week, another progress update!

I feel like this will be more or less a repeat from last week. I'm still working away on the final day of Chapter 2 of the prequel. I finally finished the Lea event today where I was stuck on some dialogues for quite a while, but now they're done and I feel like this event will explain a lot of things regarding the MC in the main game. He wasn't always the womanizer he seems to be in the main game, he was actually kinda hesitant to romance more than one girl, since he doesn't want to give anyone less attention than they deserve. That is where Lea comes in, which the MC started his first relationship with. Lea basically eases the mind of the MC when it comes to dating multiple girls. She also kinda takes away his fear what will happen once Anna returns - Because he thinks that once she is back, no one else will be important to him anymore. It's going to be a more emotional and serious talk and I kinda like to present the MC in a "insecure" way when it comes to the "harem" thing, at least in the beginning. Of course you know how he ends up being in the main game and he will start to get this confidence during the prequel as well! Lea is also in todays progress update render, sitting on the couch in her room.

I also worked some more on My New Family 2 these last few days and I'm leaning more and more into using Honey Select 2. It has been almost 2 years since My New Family 2 was completed and I feel like it's about time we can continue the story with Lucy, Sandra and all the other girls from the household. And not only that, with the inroduction of ginger twins, maybe a new little cat etc...It's about time I dive more into that. I will probably fully focus on MNF2 once Chapter 2 of The Beginning is out, while also still working on My New Memories ( the main game ). Still, I received a lot of messages lately where people are eager to see My New family 2 released and to be honest, I kinda underestimated the demand for it. So you can look forward to that!

And I feel like thats it for now, people. Nothing new in my case yet but it has only been what, 3 weeks since I visited my lawyer? It's not like I expected an answer until at least 6 weeks have passed...But oh well. The german justice system and law enforcement are known to be slow as fuck if you are not a priority to them. I just always wonder what I would have done if I didn't have started to make the prequel or planned My New Family 2. Oh well, nothing to think about too much. If anything comes up I'll let you guys know. Until then, stay awesome!

Hi, love your work! Also thank you for the constant update posts :)
Whats the reason for working on multiple games in parallel, besides general demand? I mean, Id rather have one finished game instead of multiple ones wip

She is wearing a very cute pink dress that fits the whole room she is in right now. I feel like a gamer room could be something that Lea might enjoy.

There is a more natural version available where the dress is magically missing for $5 and higher tier supporters!

What do you guys think? Do you like Lea in this cute dress?

Hello there you wonderful and extremely cute people!

Another week, another progress update!

Finally I have better news to share. Even though writing is kinda difficult at the moment for me, I'm making very good progress on the renders for Chapter 2 of the prequel. I think I'm already about 65% done with the renders needed, which is pretty good news since the renders usually take some time after I'm done writing. Switching over to focus more on rendering definitely helped with getting some more stuff to put in dialogues, so that is also a plus, I think. Todays render is Rei at the home of the MC, blushing. Something very interesting happened before this and it's going to be a fun event overall which will have long lasting impact on the game in general. I know I was pretty confident with releasing Chapter 2 in october and I doubt it'll work out, but I can guarantee you 1000% that Chapter 2 for the prequel will release in november.

Once Chapter 2 is out I will focus more on My New Family 2 in the hopes that by the time I'm ready with a first release there, that I can continue to work on Chapter 4 of the main game. If I still don't have my assets back by then I will use the remade charakters with some adjustments and release Chapter 4 like this because I'm getting kinda tired of seeing everything "go to shit" because of some state attorney(s) that just decide to ignore our requests. I also see and feel your frustration regarding this, and I feel like I made the wrong decision with waiting so long. Still, I want to focus on finishing Chapter 2 of My New Memories: The Beginning and then shift over to My New Family 2, since I really underestimated the demand for it. I also want to "bring back" players that have no real interest in the prequel and mainly stayed for My New Memories or My New Family 2.

So, overall I'm happy with my progress but I'm also feeling and seeing the frustration regarding the decisions I made these last 2 years. I'm really sorry for this, I still think it's the right decision to keep pondering the state attorney(s) and hope for them to finally return at least my assets, but I will eventually shift over to my backup plan and use the remade characters. Like some of you already said, there is always the option to "switch back" once I have them back. Re-rendering takes way less time if I have the scenes already set up.

And I think thats it for now. If I hear anything worthwhile sharing I'll let you guys know as soon as possible again. Thank you again for your continous support, no matter what. Stay awesome!

Here too (like in „My new memories“): Sorry to hear about the trouble with the slow police/attorney work. But the very positive side of that is this wonderful and lovely game.

There is no other game I would wait for so long. But the MNM is more that a game. It's giving the right feeling dragging you in. So I will keep waiting.

Hello there you wonderful and very cute people!

Another month, another week, another progress update!

I'm still working away on Chapter 2 of the prequel and I'm making great progress. Like I said in last weeks post, Chapter 2 will release 1000% this month. I don't know when exactly but I'm more or less done with all the renders I need, after that I just have to finish some writing and then make the animations, which usually don't take long either ( at least for the moment, since I'm not going all out like I did in My New Memories ). I feel like this chapter is a good point to switch over to My New Family 2, even though you guys will most likely hate me for the ending again ( kinda like you did for the initial release ). I'm pretty unhappy with how long it took to develop this chapter ( 10 months ) so yeah...I hope the content you get will make it up for it. Theres plenty of lewd content in this chapter as well, a big stepup compared to the first one and I hope you guys will enjoy that as well! While my games will still always focus on story, I also want to include more NSFW stuff in them! Todays render is Jackie in the spa room before the MC and her go to the sauna!

Speaking of My New Family 2, once Chapter 2 is out I will finally start showing you guys the things I worked on in the back. I'm still undecided on which version of Honey Select I will use, so I will most certainly provide examples for both. I just would ask you guys to keep an open mind about things, no matter what your initial thoughts on either engine are when it comes to rendering. If you hate honey select 1 and prefer honey select 2 thats fine, and if its the other way around and you just cant get used to honey select 2, at least wait until you see what I'm doing there. Like I said, an open mind helps, you can always dislike it in the end anyway, I just wish that you don't condemn anything right from the get go. As the people nowadays say, let me cook!

And I feel like thats it for now. Not much to report regarding the main game since I fully focus in finishing chapter 2 of the prequel for you guys! If I hear anything in the meantime, I'll let you guys know, of course! Until then, stay awesome!

At least thats what I think. She has such a cute smile while wearing almost nothing, having her hands behind her back as if she is scheming something. Something nice, is my guess.

There is a more natural render available for $5 and higher tier supporters!

What do you guys think? Do you like this render of Sabrina?

Hello there you wonderful and extremely attractive & wholesome people!

Another week, another progress update!

I'm making great progress for the final release of Chapter 2. I finished two animations already and I'm still very confident that it will release this month, so no worries there! I also decided to add a bit more depth to the event you have with Jackie, who is in todays progress update render. Since Jackie is like a "best friend" for the mc, she is also someone that kinda keeps him "grounded" when he is struggling with emotions, if that makes sense. With Anna returning sooner than later and the possible option for them to get in contact before, he is questioning himself more and more what this will mean regarding his current relationships. He just recently started to get into the dating life and is still not sure how much Anna coming back will impact and change his life. So Jackie is there to give him a "harsh" reality check, showing him that no matter what, he decided to live his life as normal as he could after Anna and her family left. I feel like everyone needs someone like this in their life and this is something you'll notice once Chapter 4 of the main game releases as well, that the MC will reflect on things he remembers and that the "harsh truth" is often the best way to talk about things.

I also started to work a bit more on My New Family 2 while I was rendering and I'm honestly very happy with how I have things planned out for the first release. If I would have to give this chapter a name I'd call it Ginger overflow, since the infamous ginger trio + their new tennants will probably play the biggest role in the beginning. I figured with how the first game started ( Sandra welcoming you home ) it makes sense to do something similar again - Just that this time, there are a lot more gingers ( and I doubt anyone would complain about that ). I know that a lot of you miss Sandra, Lucy and Alice a lot, so I want to do my best to give everyone, new and returning, a warm welcome to the next chapter of My New Family. Like I said a few times by now, I was very surprised how big the demand is.

And I think thats it for now, people. I'll keep you guys posted if I hear anything back from my lawyer or if things in general change. I might start to post a few more renders this week ( lewd and non lewd ) for you guys to enjoy, the response to those has been amazing. Until then, stay awesome!

Looks like she is missing the skirt, though. And that shirt might be a little bit too small for her... Not that I'm complaining.

There is a fully natural render where the outfit is magically missing available for $5 and higher tier supporters!

What do you guys think? Does Katharina look cute in an outfit like that?

Hello there you wonderful and super wholesome people!

Another week, another progress update!

I made great progress for the final release of Chapter 2 again! I finished 4 out of the 5 animations and the renders are also about 80% done, I'd say, so my statement that Chapter 2 will release this month is still true! Todays render shows Sabrina , which gets the second to last event of Chapter 2, where you will have a longer and more interesting talk with her. You will talk about their future together, if they eventually move away, and how this might affect their life, since it looks like none of their friends will tag along. You have a similar talk with Bethany, but from a different perspective, and since the MC and Sabrina are so close, it's an easier thing for them to talk about. Of course there is a big unknown variable there, named Anna, and if you played the main game you already know what will happen eventually. Still, this is something that they talk about and that is of great importance to them ( the MC will also tell her what Bethany said )

Once I'm done working on Chapter 2 I will fully transition into putting all my time in My New Family 2, to get a playable release out for supporters as soon as possible. Of course I won't keep people who don't support me on any platform away from infos from the game and I will post screenshots and examples of things I'm working on even outside of my usual weekly progress updates. The renders I post every week for all members ( free or paid ) will also continue, as I want to provide updates for everyone in the community while still sticking to give people some extra benefits if they decide to support financially. So of course Betas for My New Family 2 are part of that!

And I feel like thats it for now, people. Sorry that there is not much more to talk about but I'm about to add the finishing touches on Chapter 2 of the prequel. I can't wait until it's out for everyone to enjoy so I can fully focus on My New Family 2. If anything new comes up I'll let you guys know, until then, stay awesome!
