Progress Update | 05/01/2026
Added 2026-01-05 17:32:03 +0000 UTCHello there you wonderful and super wholesome people!
Another year, another month, another week, another progress update!
Welp, the important post blew up more than I thought and what I'm mostly reading from you guys is absolutely amazing. I was struggling very very hard these last few months if I should go this route or not but now reading that you guys support me, even though you all had to wait this long for me to finally go this way means a lot to me. Thank you for that. Of course I also respect the more critical comments and I hope that once I start to show you how the characters will look, your mind will be put at ease. Just keep in mind, ONLY the outside of the characters will look different, the hairstyles will stay and their personalities wont change at all. I'm sure it will take some time to get used to the "different" looks, but I think it's going to be easy to just keep in mind that it's going to be temporary. And who knows, if you guys end up liking these characters a lot, I might use them for a future project. I also really appreciate you guys acknowledging that this must have been torture for me and it really was. I think the only saving grace for me is that this will all be temporary, that I can continue writing the content I wanted for chapter 4, basically the chapter I wanted to release ever since the first public version. I'm very, very attached to my characters but I think I'm more attached to the story itself. It's basically the thing that fulfills my life, after all. Writing cute and wholesome stories for you people to enjoy.
Now that the holidays are fully over and we arrived in the new year, I started to gather as many new assets as I can to start to work on these characters. Working on them usually doesn't take long, I'm that kind of person who decides pretty fast if I like something or I have to again. While I work on making these new characters, I will of course also continue to work on My New Family 2, the long awaited sequel to My New Family. I think I mentioned this already but I kinda underestimated how much you guys want this sequel, so I will put extra effort and time into it to make sure that it will be the loving re-union with your favorite characters - most likely in Honey Select 2, though ( relax with the eye rolling and wait until you see what I created, haha ). I think I have some results ready to share soon and I'm confident that you guys will end up loving the girls just as much as you loved them in MNF1.
And I think thats all for now. I hope you wonderful people had a good start into 2026 and that no one is still stuck in 2025 ( I feel like that is a very German thing to say, since we always say "Guten rutsch" before new years ). If I have anything worth to share, like a first character iteration, I'll let you guys know! Until then, stay awesome!

Just out of curiosity, there isn't a version of My New Family 2 yet, right?

2026-01-06 10:39:19 +0000 UTCI'm not tied to the looks of the characters, I'm just happy that you'll be able to progress with the story. I also can't wait to see the characters in MNF2.

2026-01-06 10:11:16 +0000 UTCI'm sure this will be an unpopular opinion, but I think the personalities and the story are a lot more important than the characters' appearance. I would be a bit happier if Morgan and Olivia looked more mature. They're supposed to be adults but Olivia looks more like 12 than 18. Morgan doesn't look over 18 either. I love the story and the personalities, appearances as secondary to me.

2026-01-05 19:13:48 +0000 UTCI'm a little nervous for the character changes. I don't like changes much I played my new family for over 100 hours on steam I'm so used to the older character models. But I'll keep an open mind still a little nervous for the changes. But I'm excited for chapter 4.
