Progress Update | 13/01/2025

Hello there you extremely cute and super wholesome people!

Another week, another progress update!

Let's jump right into the games again, shall we?

Over the last week I got a lot more feedback regarding My New Memories: The Beginning and the overall majority of you amazing people made it very clear that you want more of it, way more than I imagined. And I can promise you that I will deliver that, no matter what. Initially I really thought most of you would say "Okay, this is nice, make it a quick little thing and as soon as you can work on the main game fully again, switch over and end the prequel" but after I read all the messages and comments I got since releasing it and you guys being able to fully play the first chapter, I think differently now. So I can promise you more content for the prequel regardless of the status of the main game - At least after I released Chapter 4 for the main game. That doesn't mean there won't be a Chapter 2 for the prequel before that, it just means that if I can work on the main game fully again, I will finish Chapter 4 before releasing another chapter for the prequel. I hope that makes sense. Todays render is Bethany in the living room, shortly after Rei left to do something with Amelie. The MC tells her what he learned about Rei and who her cousin is and it will leave Bethany just as speechless as you might think she is on the picture. Still, as the loving mother that she is, she just knows what to say and do and the MC will most likely follow her advice. You will know what I mean when you play it but I don't want to make the whole of Chapter 2 just about the MC thinking even more about Anna. I personally think you will like what I'll do there, or at least I hope so.

Since the release of the prequel update I also worked more on the main game again than I used to, which I really like. I read a few comments of people that were concerned about all the prequel girls eventually appearing in the main game and that the cast will get too convoluted in the end. I don't want this to sound like empty words so all I can say is that these girls will appear over a longer period of time, not in a super fast manner. I want to make it as organic as possible and while you will hear them being mentioned from time to time ( mainly when the MC talks to Anna, Sabrina and Lena since the other girls don't really know who they are ), but it will take some time for all of them to appear. The first one will most likely be Rei and that won't be until Chapter 5, for example. And I will still do my best to give all the girls as much screentime as possible and I think I found a decent way of doing so already in the main game ( which has a lot of girls already ). So all I'm asking is to trust me on this, I'm confident I can pull it off.

Regarding My New Family 2 I have more stuff to share soon, like I said earlier it will most likely depend what you guys think about the girls I show you that I made in Honey Select 2 if I end up using it or not. I'm happy with sticking to honey select 1 ( the engine I used to make MNF1 graphics ) or switch over to Honey Select 2, so it won't be an issue to let you guys decide. More on that soon, though.

And I think thats it for this week. I hope you guys think I'm doing the right thing regarding the prequel and that I want to make "more" out of it. If anything comes up I'll let you guys know. Stay awesome!
