Finally got around to the latest update. I know I might be in a minority here, but god I love Chelsea and her lisp with the braces. Everytime she shows up I start to giggle even before she says anything. Really liked the update, but god damn you Jonesy for ending it where you did!!! 
Can't wait for the conclusion of that conversation.

You're not alone. She's funny and endearing to me for it, too. IMO, it adds to the impression of upbeat and curious naivete I get from her.Finally got around to the latest update.

Me too!! I fell so madly in love with her lisp and always loved braces. Hope to see much more of her. Also that she cant stop talking is so cute. I like her best but all the girls are top tier.

NYD Progress Report 7/12/24
Hey there!
Just wanted to pop in and let y'all know that I'm finishing up work on chapter 2 of Siren Song. It should be available toward the end of the month. After that is released, it will be time for me to switch gears and pick up New Year's Day(e) where it left off.
Actually, I'm currently on vacation, and since I'm completely obsessed with these projects, I just started writing the first scene of chapter 5. This is gonna be a good one, folks. It will start the process of tying up all the loose ends that are still hanging around. We're gonna deal with the Portia issue, we're gonna find out a bit more about MC's past, and we of course will see what happens with Kaylee.
I'm super excited to get back to writing these characters. Siren Song is great, but this story has a lot more going on. It's a bit more challenging in that regard, which is fun.
Oh, and for all those concerned, I just spent yesterday hiking through Glacier National Park and didn't see a single bear. So far so good! I might live long enough to finish these stories after all!
Love y'all!

Dude. Seriously. The lighting in this part of the story is pretty damn terrible. At the time, I didn't appreciate how terrible it was. I'd like to think that pretty soon after this I started to get better at it, but you be the judge. One thing about DAZ, you never stop learning.
Oh, and if you don't like the renders in this game, you definitely shouldn't play Christmas Eve.

I'm enjoying the story so far. I read CE last night and am working on chapter 2 of NYD right now. I came back by the forums because of the yes or no choice in the office scene.
I REALLY didn't like that scene for various reasons but I read some stuff Jonesy has posted which have made me feel a bit better about it.
So I know the story is canon step stuff but I always found it weird in these games where we have a MC is a total chick magnet can get laid seemingly at will was married to a woman who was clearly fertile because she had two kids but MC has no kids of his own?
Are all these protagonists infertile or what? Does he blow so many loads that his sperm production is too thinned out to impregnate a woman or is he somehow a super gigachadmcthundercock who shoots blanks lol?
Just a personal pet peeve of mine as someone who has been around long enough to know that most people get pregnant or impregnate others far more easily than porn would have you believe.
Alright rant over. Look forward to reading the rest of the available content dev nice work. You may have a new supporter soon.
P.S. I hope you let MC knock someone up even if it's just an ending slide. Rampant creampies will do that and as far as chapter 2 no birth control has been mentioned.

Alright I just finished all the current content. Really like the characters and world you have built dev. Great job!
There are some nitpicks or "feedback" as some call it though.
We later find out that MC and Bex have been hooking up since they were young but the MC acts like it's the first time he's ever been with Bex when his wife brings her in for his birthday celebration. I realize you have stated that you are writing down the story as it comes but consistency is important.
Another thing is MC states he was with Mia for years and went straight from her to Heather. When were these hookups occurring? Like the one when he came home from college?
Was he on break from Mia that much?
Then another thing with Bex is MC was all concerned about telling her about what was going on with his stepkids. Then they all come into a restaurant and kiss him and it is never directly addressed between Bex and the MC. She just knows about it and is totally cool.
Even if you assume they told her that day (Even though I could've swore dad told them to keep it quiet for a bit) the fact that she never brings it up to the MC makes no sense at all.
Then there is the pretty obvious revelation about who Heather is and its implications about her daughters. Is that going to be addressed or did that choice you make with Kaylee cut that off if you chose the adopt answer?
Finally there is the situation with Portia. It's your story but to me it was a very unwelcome tonal shift in the story so far. Yes there had already been some themes of loss but to me it was mostly upbeat and hopeful but then that crap is revealed and right after a great scene which spoils the mood.
Worse it takes place in the same place on the same table where the romantic climax of the first game occurred.
No offense but what the hell dude lol?
That totally spoils the vibe of the first game taints its memories and no having the characters speak about this very topic doesn't make it better at least IMO.
I think it was a mistake. If you were determined to have the Portia maguffin play out like that you could've put it anywhere else and delivered the tape to the MC in some other way. This is just my personal opinion and not a real critique of the quality of the writing like the stuff above.
One last thing is that while the scenes were great I personally hate missing content behind a choice like we did in the final scenes of chapter 4. I don't know how many if anybody else would agree with me but I hope that won't become a common thing going forward.
It's made worse because you nailed those scenes dude. Like wow good work! I really don't wanna have to miss shit going forward.
Please take all this from a place a admiration and respect man. I totally dig your games and stories you are telling to the point I binged through all the content over these last couple days! I still need to check out Siren song but I figured after reading the synopsis that Charlotte is from that game. I like how you've got your own narrative universe developing.
If I seem nitpicky its because I got so engrossed in the story I notice details and trust me I've been reading AVN's for a long time and most are forgettable to me. I wish I had the talent to pull off what you've done here so I can't really praise you any higher.
Thanks for your hard work!

You must be registered to see the links
and check out the "Meet the Characters" thread on the NYD server. It explains the backstories of some of the characters better than I've been able to in the story itself. This may or may not satisfy some of your questions about timelines, relationships, etc. In my mind the math "maths", but it's a pretty convoluted storyline, so it may not make much sense to anyone but me. The answers to a couple of your questions will be answered in chapter 5, which I'm working on right now.Thanks again. I'm glad you're enjoying things so far. I hope you check out Siren Song. It's shaping up to be a pretty good AVN.
