They're completely different games / story. Like MNF, there is still a lot of wholesomeness, but apart from that, very different game.

The prequel is something the Dev is working on until he gets his drives & other equipment back from the police, It's actually a stand alone game just to give players an insight to MC's life BEFORE Anna came back from overseas. The main game can be played first or second depending on your preference.;)

Hello there you wonderful and super wholesome people!

Another week, another progress update!

Let's jump right into the games again!

I've been getting in a super good workflow again which makes me very happy. I was mainly writing stuff and making renders for the next prequel chapter. As you might have guessed, the event where Rei revealed who her cousin is will be a little longer than usual and it will end up with a cute little animation in the end. Can't say more, but what I can say is that the dialogues they will have is going to be something I have never really done in any of my games before. Rei already knows a lot about the MC, Bethany and Sabrina. But she barely knows anything about Jessica and, even more important, about MCs father and his new family. She is interested to hear about how the parents of the MC divorced and why Sabrina feels the way she does regarding their father. I think I did a decent job so far, where the MC tells her basically how it all started and where him and his father are standing relationship wise now. Keep in mind that Karla and the twins are already a thing there, but that basically only the MC and Bethany know about it, so it's going to be an interesting little event when the MC ends up telling Sabrina about it. Still, I personally feel like it's good to give the MC a father that is not an asshole for once. He will also talk about Jessica, but won't mention that he suspects that Jessica might have feelings for him, since he isn't sure about it yet. This day is going to be super long because I feel like the prequel needs those days from time to time - I will change stuff a little up. So you wont go through every weekday or something like that but I will rather make it so certain days in university are interesting and then the weekend has interesting stuff again. In the evening of the first day you're going to spend some time with Lea and her mother, as you can see in todays render! And I can promise you that Chapter 2 will be even longer than Chapter 1, and that it won't take nearly as long to release.

I also worked some more on the main game again, basically connecting a few strings during the dialogue the MC has with Rei to the current time, where Karla, Caroline and Emily ( His step ... Landlady ... and two... Half roomates... ) are already thinking about moving to the new house. Right after the event you have with Sabrina you will go to Sarah, as you know if you played the snippet, and this event will just be as long as the little snippet you played. Like I said, Chapter 4 will be huge, which will be needed after the extremely long wait you guys had to endure. And don't worry, it's not like I will keep waiting it out forever. I'm already looking for people that did amazing jobs recreating daz3d characters so I can set a date in my head where I will say fuck waiting for the police woman to admit that she is wrong about that SSD drive and just recreate the characters. But for now, I still like to stick to what I said and wait to see if things will look better in a few months. I hope you guys understand that.

Regarding My New Family 2 I'm kinda stuck at the moment, creatively. I know that a lot of you amazing people are waiting for this and I can 100000% promise the first (long) chapter will release sometime this year. You guys know that I always want to give the best "first impression" on releases, that's why I was so happy that you guys love the prequel that much. It means that I will continue to release longer updates etc, even if it means work on the update might take a little longer. It's totally understandable and 100% fair if you don't want to wait that long for updates or game releases though and I would never be mad if you decide to stop to support me and move on to other games. Never feel the need to keep supporting even though you're not really enjoying my work anymore ( or how I work in general ).

And I think thats it for now, people. Nothing new regarding the case yet so I'm sticking to my lawyer who said "No news is good news". If anything comes up I'll let you guys know as soon as possible though! Until then, stay awesome!

Hello there you super cute and very wholesome people!

Another week, another progress update!

As some of you amazing supporters may have noticed, I'm currently running a poll regarding betas of My New Memories ( And My New Family 2 in the future ). To give you a tl;dr, I'm thining of releasing more betas with "less" content ( it will still be longer than the snippet, for example ), which means you will get releases faster. Nothing will change regarding the overall size of a chapter, it just means that if you prefer to play "longer" betas, you just have to wait until I release the 2nd and 4th beta, because then nothing will change for you. I'm doing this mainly to combat writing burnout when I stick for too long. So it basically means that you will get content in a faster way, I don't think there is any downside to it. The fact is that My New Memories: The Beginning has released January 1st and the only thing I released in the meantime was the snippet. I don't like not delivering more content, so this will hopefully make it easier ( at the moment the poll is in favor of releasing more betas ).

Speaking of betas, I will most likely follow through with it for the first to release, which means you will get to play the first Beta for Chapter 2 most likely this weekend! This beta will contain a super long event with Rei and then some quality time with Jackie. You can see her in todays progress update and the MC and her will have a very serious and emotional talk, talking about their feelings they might have for each other. Don't forget that they are best friends, so letting feelings into this relationship will not be easy for them. Still, if you know my games then the outcome will always be positive. This event will also be pretty long, and both of them will also talk some more about their families. If you remember, her situation is kinda difficult to herself and she is still struggling with the fact that her parents aren't really her parents. The MC will do his best to comfort her, of course, coming from a household that also went through certain phases of being alone ( not nearly as bad as Jackie had to go through though ). Feedback on this beta will be pretty important because I'm letting the MC talk a lot to instead of the usual "the girls speak and the MC reacts" conversations. So please tell me what you think of that once you play this beta.

After I gathered some feedback regarding the snippet I'm still thinking about releasing one with a very long Bethany event, but I'm not 100% certain on that. I feel like giving too many snippets for Chapter 4 will just take away time that I could invest in the prequel and My New Family 2 or Chapter 4 in general, so thats all not final. The good thing is that Chapter 4 has so much content already that while rendering might take a while, you'll get the biggest beta ever once I have my assets back. Regarding My New Family 2 I'm still undecided regarding Honey Select 1 or 2, but at the moment I'm more leaning into Honey Select 1 again to keep the "known" style of My New Family. Like I said a few times by now, if you want to know how My New Family 1 might look, go play the Christmas special I released!

And I think thats it for now people. If you have the time ( and are a supporter ) please vote in the poll, it's two posts below this one. You can also share your thoughts in the comments regarding anything or send me a DM! If I learn something new, I'll let you guys know. Until then, stay awesome!

Hello there you wonderful and super sexy people!
Another week, another month, another progress update!
So, I messed up. Not intentionally, but I messed up. My plan was to finish the script for the first Chapter 2 beta of My New Memories: The Beginning last week and then make the renders, which would have taken me until the weekend for a most likely sunday release. Instead I got sick. I don't know if it's Covid again ( I have yet to make a test ) but during Monday evening last week I got the stuffy nose and then it went downhill from there. It might just be a bad cold simce I'm already recovering nicely, my nose is more or less free and I got the coughing / sore throat now, which usually means I'm at the end of the cold. To make a long story short, I wasn't able to finish as much as I wanted. But I'll make it up to you guys. If you have been a $15 supporter or higher in the month of March 2025, you'll get the first beta regardless, and once I release the second beta, $5 supporters that were there in March 2025 will get it as well. Just remember to send me a DM once the post with the beta is up and you'll get the links right away. Thats the least I can do.

Okay, now that I got that off my chest, let's talk some more about Chapter 2 of the prequel. I have a great idea for a huge plot twist you'll get at the end of it. I know I know, you love and hate me for doing this kind of stuff, but this one will be extremely different compared to anything I have ever done. It will be very positive but most likely be such a big surprise that will need a good explanation in the game before it gets unveiled, especially regarding things that happened in the main game. All I can say is that it involves Bethany and someone else, you're not getting anything else out of me. Todays render shows Bethany in MCs room, it's during the night of the same day the MC learns about Rei. They talk about it some more, but Bethany also expresses her feelings regarding the MC getting intimate with a decent amount of ladies already. She's not concerned or anything, she just wants to make sure that the girls are all cool with it, I guess? I guess it's a good thing she doesn't know what Lea, Sabrina and the MC did the night before. I'm super excited to work on this Chapter now that I have made up my mind regarding the plot twist, and I'll do my best to release it way quicker than Chapter 1 took. Like I said, I want to get out a nice flow of updates out again, so once Chapter 2 is released, I can hopefully release Chapter 4 of My New Memories and/or My New Family 2. Still, it feels good to be motivated again, and I'll make sure that these are not just words. I always have the motto of "Show, don't tell", so I'm going to make sure this will be the case.

With me being down with the sickness ( no pun intended ) it was rather difficult to work on Chapter 4 or My New Family 2, so I don't have much to share there. We're reaching the point that it has been 2 years since I released Chapter 3 and this was like a looming sword over me for a long time, so I'm also more or less bombarding my lawyer with calls and emails ( well, more emails since I can't really talk right now ) to urge him to get a response from the state attorney. Like I said a few months ago, I will go all the way to make sure that I get my SSD back that only contains my render assets. I really don't care about anything else they got fro0m me.
Sorry that this progress update is probably not what you expected. I don't want any pity or stuff like that, I deserve all the blame you want to throw at me ( be it with cancelling your support or anything else ). I'll make sure to make up for the lost time though, like I said above! If I hear anything new I'll let you guys know. Until then, stay awesome!

From my understanding of Covid, you should really focus on finding out if it was in fact covid or not because the more times you get covid, the more likely you are to get long covid which can permanently ruin your life or obviously maybe kill you. At least by knowing if you got it or not, you'll be able to keep count and know what the odds are of getting long covid.

Hey, people. Can someone explain it to me? The game takes place during the youth of the MC, that is, more than 20 years ago. Then how did modern smartphones end up in that era? I was a student at about the same time and I had a wonderful Sony-Ericsson, but it was a push-button phone. The first iPhone came out in 2007, but the events of the game take place even earlier, probably 3-4 years earlier. In addition, this smartphone with curved edges of the screen looks more like a Samsung Galaxy S7, which came out in 2016.
I'm willing to overlook a laptop that looks too modern, but having modern smartphones 20 years ago is nonsense.

No one said it had to follow the same technological timeline real life did. In fiction, it's better to just have suspension of disbelief when it comes to certain things. I find I enjoy things a lot more that way. If this is difficult or too much, I can't suggest many works of fiction, as almost all of them play by their own rules.

You might find the smartphones and laptop nonsense but I find your entire post nonsense so it evens out.

The problem is that authors of fiction always somehow inform the reader that the action of their work takes place in an alternate reality. In this case, any distortions of the world order relative to our world are acceptable. But K7 never indicated that the action of his game takes place in a parallel universe or something like that, except that we do not know what country the main character lives in (I assume it is Canada). Therefore, it would be logical to see all things as they were in the described era. Seeing a modern smartphone in the early 2000s is as strange as seeing a refrigerator and television in the Middle Ages. Such oddities greatly spoil the sense of time, and as a result, do not allow you to fully immerse yourself in the world described by the author.
