Hello there you wonderful and very attractive people in the world!

Another week, another progress update!

As some of you may have noticed I was able to release beta 5 on sunday. That means pre release ( and after that, public release ) is next. I have to admit that the last week wasn't going very well for me though, so here is hope I can improve on it this week. Like usual, I'll announce the release date as soon as I know it.

So like I said, last week wasn't very good in terms of productivity. Writing was insanely difficult and I don't really know why. Still, I was able to make a very wholesome event on the fifth day of 0.20 and I plan another one like this on the last day of 0.20, finally asking a certain landlady a very important question. I want to go all out there again and I hope I can pull it off. We'll see!

While I wasn't very productive in terms of writing for My New Memories ( or My New Family to be fair ) I was productive in making renders. The complete morning is now finished and rendered out and the render you see here is one of the first day of the update. You will finally get to talk a little more with Bethany, promising her to visit her later that day as well. Though that visit will be more to talk someone else, a certain blonde girl that left pretty mixed impressions on the players. Anyway, the day will be extremely packed and I'm very confident that I will be able to release the first beta for My New Memories this month. So now I'll return to progress updates that contain actual ingame renders again, without spoiling too much. Oh, and I'm about 3/4 done with the script which is good news as well, I guess!

Once 0.20 is released for everyone I will take my usual one week break with the option to extend it for an additional week. I really don't want to burn out while working on My New Family so this might be the best, but I'm not sure yet. Anyway, break means that I'll work on My New Memories mainly and only work very slow on My New Family. But I'm not sure yet, I'll see how this work week goes. If I end up doing it I'll tell you wonderful people of course, even though it hurts me to say stuff like that. I love to work on my games and I feel bad if I'm not as productive as I want to be. But I guess taking a small break is better than burning out and not being able to work at all. Anyway, I'll keep you guys posted.

And I think that's it for this week. Stay tuned for the release date announcements for 0.20 and I see you guys on the next progress update! Stay awesome!

Today I didn't even have to use my AK
I didn't even think about that but that made me laugh my ass off when I read this. Lol

Todays render is Sarah doing some yoga :).

I think Sarah may be one of my favorite characters. Lol

Also about the update, just adding it to this part and not quoting it. Yeah I would rather you take a week break than burning out on it personally. I'm not a patreon so I know I technically have less say than those paying maybe but I think most would agree rather have a week off than burn out and have like a month lapse or worse writing or whatever. lol

I recently started this VN and must say the MNF was better writen, or meaby not better writen but was much more logical in it's own way.
About MNM the beggining was ok, nice and all but later on (i'm just in the morning i meet Lena) and for now one most ppl (at last ppl that i didn't tell to bug off) say to MC "I won't tell u about ur/our history just becous" and "u got amnesia and don't remember anything? that's ok cous i wont remind u anything as well" don't know how far in the story i am right now but as for now the far in story i am the less i like it :(

edit. i'll back to reading and few moment later after ur sister in law tell u she don't wanna tell u about something in past. At the hospital she say "i wanna know everything ... u have to tell me" and respond "ok". Rly ? seriously ? it's not even funny anymore :/ more of pathetic

i like both games and i think its a bit unfair to compare becouse my new family is more a slice of life type of genre while my new memories is more of a mystry type. now i am not sure i have understood what you ment correctly but did you belive that it is unreasonable to think that a sister (who apperntly shares a closer bond then usual with her sister and brother in-law) wouldn't try to find out how her sister got into a comatose status from said brother in law who was there when it happened? if so i think that you are mistaken, actually it seems more realistic that seeing her sister like that made the sister in law temporarly forget that the mc has amnisia, becouse she was distrought and frankly i would have too if i was in her place.

I try to compare characters mentality in both games not the entire games as one is fully comedy and another one is more serious.
And i trully belive it is unrealistic that all your friend that know MC for most of his life or half of it don't wanna share with him memory that he lost. And the sister that u mentioned as the fact that she wanna know about what happend to her sister(the MC wife) is totaly normal but the wierd (from the lack of better word) is she don't wanna tell the MC about he's or they past and still wanna him to tell her about the little thing that he know, and apparently MC don't have any problem with that noone wanna tell him anything about he's past and just wait for he's wife dream or vision to tell him that. Ye i think that's totaly illogical and thats why i don't rly like characters in this MNM

Well, but this is the way to handle Amnesia Patients. Maybe you should read more bout Amnesia, that will help you to understand it better.

Not rly, post-traumatic amnesia in most case will back to normal on it's own, not by refusing to share information of patient past sometime group therapy is uset but rarely, first time i hear about idea to blocking patient from he's "previous" life information

Are you sort of medical expert in neurology or specialist in amnesia that you know something we don't . I am a medico and in our country we generally treat them by explaining them about their medical condition ( amnesia ) and slowly or gradually show them their old photographs and allow them to speak with family members and ask them whether they are able to remember anything or not , no one wants them to have panic or anxiety disorder by overwhelming them with info when they wake up . I say that the game is nicely written if you have problem with that logic or that treatment move on and play other games instead of complaining over and over again .

I think if you see it like that you wont like the Overall premise of the game and its better to move on. I mean, throwing in a pathetic because mc agrees to tell Lena everything even though she doesnt is a bit weird.

Personally, I also see some protection with the family's approach. It occasionally happens where the patient develops a new personality after the trauma. In this case, telling him all the details of their special relationships might have overwhelmed him. Remember, he had to do a lot of thought and examinations of feelings to accept it all. They were afraid they would overwhelm him or would drive him away. Not helped by the sister's advice. His wife's force ghost had no worries in that regard.

I've often seen guidelines that say to help the patient remember what he or she can. Also, to give clues rather than saying, "Do you remember..."

I'd as a person probably be annoyed a bit if people kept telling me I'll tell you later but as logical, it's quite understandable why they did it. It is how amnesia gets dealt with though. Let them relieve things, versus tell them. (Maybe not always? but I do know it is one way.) Though why would you withhold anything from family? That's more petty in my opinion.

But to call that pathetic or illogical seems very off to me as well. :unsure:

We boned on your mama's couch
And we knocked the springs right out
