That's the risk with doing a prequel. Personally, I'm not opposed to there being a canon path through MNMTB that lines up nicely with MNM, as well as a bunch of non-canon fanservice and extra LI. But if K7 goes that route, I would enjoy if canon choices were marked

FYI, the
default Katharinalovetime = False-bug is still present in the Steam version.Yea its the issue with doing a prequel, it tend to lead to deviate what should be the outcome. A few Devs have done such like the one that make Grandmother's House, made a prequel along the way which include characters that have yet to appear in GH yet seem to be close to the MC, so it doesn't make sense. Here it ended up the same, you have a bunch of characters that should impact the narrative of MNM significantly, but that don't exist yet in there yet, and like I said a rewrite of MNM would be decidedly needed to at least justify why those characters have neither been seen or heard about in MNM already.
I mean Jackie for example and studying medicine, the moment she would have heard about the MC getting severely injured logically she would came to him to help take care of him as he recover, well its what I am feeling it should be happening, but she obviously isn't there in MNM as is, now why didn't Rei also come down from Japan along with Lena after hearing about the incident? What about Lea in Germany she should have came back along with her mother and Lina. The point is you'd expect all those people that dearly love the MC would have absolutely dropped everything and came when they heard the MC got into a grave accident and him and Anna got hospitalized, I mean even the MC's younger sister which has significant issues with him came over, but not all those women that love him? He spent what can be assumed to be days in the hospital, and days at the hotel, plenty of time for all of them to grab a plane and come visit him in his time of duress. Their is nothing any of them could have done that would be so critical except maybe Jackie that they shouldn't have been able to drop everything on a dime to come to him.
As for what is 'canon' I suspect considering all things the path even the Dev would consider 'canon' would be the one where he get involved with all those girls anyway, so it should still affect MNM. I mean this Dev also made My New Family, so if you think this Dev intend for anything else than the MC banging every available girls & women you haven't paid attention.

True, but a lot can happen in 20 years. I mean, it's easy to think up situations where people would be unable to visit. Jackie could be with Doctors Without Borders in Africa, and Lea and Beth could keep a distance to not overload the MC while his memory wasn't back... Stuff like that.
But, in general, I do think you raise a good point. There's a ton of connective tissue from MNMTB to MNM, but not the other way around just yet. In that regard, all the memberberries are having the reverse effect, more so because it's a prequel. And I have to admit that every time Lea talks about wanting to be the MC's sister, it rings a bit hollow, just because we haven't even heard from her in MNM.
No, I have paid attention
It's my biggest frustration with MNF that all paths are optional, but if you didn't follow the canon path, it just ends. And sorry, I'm just not into mothers, aunts, or grannies. But the treatment this game got also makes me less than confident that K7 will go back and spend time adjusting MNM's story. And, in a way, I wouldn't blame him for that. In his shoes, after getting the assets back, I would want to do nothing more than continue the story instead of going back and dealing with retcons.
So, yeah, I think you're right. And if it's ever put to a vote, I'd rather some development time get spent on bringing both games in line, even if that delays future content for a bit.

So I finished Ch2 and I thought it was good, but I also thought a bit more would happen. I think that's just a case of it having been a little while and me needing to remember just how this game goes though.
None of the big reveals have been surprises. They are good reveals, but probably built up a bit too much for me, however it's always difficult because people will see things differently and so some people might get a big surprise and some might not. I'm in the camp of "Oh finally, can we please move on now that that information is all out in the open?!"
The only other thing I will say is that I wish the dev would stop teasing scenes of Sabrina/Lea watching while MC does stuff with the other one. They kept stripping and then it turned out it was literally just to sleep!

Unless events are more fluid, we know the MC does nothing intimate with Sabrina until MNM. It's honestly a bit frustrating to know this, since Sabrina is my favorite character. I see scenes like these as fan service, but I get the frustration.
Your comment does make me wonder... Maybe K7 created Lea as a stand-in for Sabrina? If the MC and Sabrina can't have sex because it would retcon MNM, then him having sex with Lea, who acts as his sister, with Sabrina present is the next best thing.

Yeah, it bugs me a little as well, as she's my favourite too. They can still do some stuff though, I just can't remember if there was literally nothing done before MNM, or if it was just that they hadn't had sex, so hj/bj etc. could be options here. That was my thought as well, regarding Lea - and saying here about Sabrina not wanting to go too far until they had their own place also works in favour of the MNM continuity.
(Also I put part of that post in a spoiler to avoid sharing specific details of the new episode. It doesn't work if you specifically remove the spoiler tag when quoting it!)

Yeah, my memory is foggy as well. There probably is some leeway here, though they'd have to be careful about Bethany. If memory serves, Sabrina was afraid of Beth's reaction, but in MNMTB, Bethany seems very open-minded, almost to the point of hedonism (you're an adult, do whatever).

Hello there you wonderful and extremely wholesome people!
Another month, another week, another progress update!
This one will be a little shorter, I hope that is alright
Chapter 2 of My New Memories: The Beginning has finally released and so far what I gathered from comments is that most of you enjoyed what you got to play! Todays render shows Sabrina, just a few moments before the big reveal of Chapter 2. And then that ending...I wonder who is calling MC at this time, especially after he got these very shocking news from Bethany ( I know I know, it was very predictable ).
Now that Chapter 2 is out I will transition over to My New Family 2 while also considering making scenes with the recreated models. I kinda gave myself a new deadline in terms of getting a response from my lawyer and the state attorney, so once that passes, I will start using those recreated models to finish Chapter 4. There is no real worst case scenario here, if I get my stuff back ( and I will get it back ), I will have to remake all of those scenes with the original characters, which will take time but it's not the end of the world ( it's basically just load the scene, import the old models and use the same pose the new ones used ). But I will have more feedback regarding that soon. I will also start posting previews for My New Family 2 characters I'm working on, both in Honey Select 1 ( that you see in My New Family 1 ) and Honey Select 2 ( which I'm considering using for MNF2 ). I will most likely try to find someone who can port the house I use in honey select 1 to honey select 2 and see how that will work out - But I will have more news on that once it actually happens.
And I feel like thats it for now, people. Sorry that this is a rather short progress update but with the full release of chapter 2 being yesterday, there is not that much to share yet! If you haven't played Chapter 2 of My New Memories: The Beginning yet, it's out on the internet and on Steam etc! If anything new comes up I'll let you guys know, until then, stay awesome!

A bit of a pet peeve of mine, but reactions like these just confirm that I made the right choice rejecting her.
Sure, this is probably the dev hinting that players are missing out on content, but it also makes Katharina seem petty. It's not the first time she's made a remark like this either.

As someone who had a huge crush on my neighbours mom growing up. Hell she still looks amazing and she is almost 60, I love being able to live out the fantasy of hooking up with her.

But after this, there's no sign of them being in a relationship anymore.
Edit:
There's also a bugged achievement:
This should unlock "Now she knows..." (ReiKnows, according to steamdb)
(The following is entirely subjective and specific to me, not a criticism.)
label dayfourreilewdtime isn't gated by reilovetime. In a playthrough where I say no to everything to see what happens, they still end up in her dorm with his dick in her mouth.In
label dayfourmorereitime: Rei will also say things like: "And you can be happy I'm not a jealous girlfriend! You will stare a lot at the waitresses there!" or "With me as your girlfriend, you don't need videos like that anymore..."But after this, there's no sign of them being in a relationship anymore.
Edit:
There's also a bugged achievement:
Python:
"Tell Rei that you know Anna.":
$ reiknows = True
$ achievement.grant("Jackie")
init:
$ achievement.register("Jackie")
$ achievement.sync()You do you. I'm all for people experiencing their needs or kinks as long as it's a positive experience for all involved... Personally, the sexually hungry cougar chasing a young and inexperienced prey never fails to creep me out. So I really don't need the dev to point out that I'm missing out on content that I intentionally opted out of.
(The following is entirely subjective and specific to me, not a criticism.)
- The way Bethany helped to set it up while not being completely forthcoming with the MC felt like a breach of trust to me. It's a case of mommy knows best instead of informed consent by asking the MC what he thought of it beforehand. They're supposed to be able to discuss everything; why not this?
- I'm not into the stereotypical big-breasted and sexually aggressive cougar types
- The MC being infatuated because of her big bosom is alienating to me. I'd pick Bethany over Katharina 10 times out of 10.

It's been quite a while since I played MNM, but I kind of remember it having flashbacks to MC and Sabrina's first sexual activities (hj/bj/etc), and it was only shortly before the start of MNM, thus long after MNMtB. IIRC, Anna had only recently convinced Sabrina to start joining in on the lewd activities before the crash, which makes her behavior in MNMtB a bit jarring. The twins' closeness, such as shared showers, was well established, but Sabrina's eagerness to fool around (and more) with MC in MNMtB doesn't really mesh with what we know of their relationship in MNM, where it took Anna like 20 years to convince Sabrina to do anything sexual with MC.
There are actually several other inconsistencies I noticed just within MNMtB. At one point, it was said that Jessica was starting kindergarten the same year that MC/Sabrina were starting elementary school, which would make her one year younger than MC/Sabrina. However, it's later stated that Jessica is "a few years younger" than MC/Sabrina.
The half-sister twins are said to be "a few years younger" than Jessica, who should currently be in 10th to 12th grade (depending on the inconsistency above), but later MC says that they are just starting kindergarten, which would make them over 10 years younger than Jessica. This one seems like it was a course-correction, since the twins being only a few years younger than Jessica would mean that they were born *before* the divorce, and K7 likely just forgot to correct that line.
Considering all the changes from MNM I am pretty sure 'forgot to correct that line' isn't the issue, its more along the line of K7 deciding to change the background of MNM to fit whatever he wanted to do with this game, their are so many deviations that it can't be merely a question of mistakes, its intended. Which is why like I said before a rewrite of MNM is a necessity, otherwise the two games won't make sense one with the other.
