Hello there you wonderful and super wholesome people!

Another month, another week, another progress update!

First I want to say thank you to the insane ammounts of comments and messages I got on the 6 year anniversary post. It truly means the world to me that you guys are so understanding regarding the situation and the fact that you seem to like the idea of putting "Younger" Anna and Lena in the prequel makes me even happier. So thank you for that!

Now, let's talk about the games!

I'm still working on the next Chapter 2 beta and I'm making decent progress. In todays render you see Rei who decided to have breakfast with the MC again - I "skipped" the week of university and now the MC can spend his weekend with his favorite girls again. The situation with Rei is a special one since the MC is kinda leaning towards telling her about Anna, but not the full detail. I guess this is going to be a fine line he has to walk in general. He can tell Rei that Anna is a childhood friend, but maybe he shouldn't say how close they are? And then comes the question why Anna is not contacting Rei more often. Or maybe they talk regularly and Rei doesn't seem to mind not sharing it - I mean, why should she, it's not like she has any idea that the MC, Sabrina and Lea know her. It's all pretty mysterious but one thing I can promise you is that the outcome will be positive. That is also the case for the big reveal that is about to happen at the end of this chapter - It won't be as big as the Rei thing, but you guys will probably still say "Whoa. Cool. And fuck you for stopping there." You know I love to do these things.

I also put a decent amount of effort into Chapter 4 and MNF2 again. I really want to release the first playable version for My New Family 2 this year and the good thing is, no matter what I'll use to make the renders, it won't take long compared to the renders I have to make for MNM. Still, I owe you guys previews etc and I promise I will deliver them. The same goes for some Chapter 4 stuff, but I already talked about all of that in the anniversary post. For now the plan is to use Anna and Lena with a lot of modifications for the prequel and the other characters that an awesome dev ( Terminator ) made will be put on hold at the moment. I don't have a definitive timeframe on how long I'll wait, just that using these characters for the main game will be my absolute last straw, if everything else fails. Like I said in the post, it's a very personal decision. Still, writing on Chapter 4 goes super smooth right now and the script will most likely be done this year, which only leaves rendering open to me.

And I feel like thats it for now, people. Thank you so so much again for all the comments on yesterdays post. You guys truly are amazing and I'm forever grateful to you people for keeping me floatin'. If anything new comes up I'll let you guys know, until then, stay awesome!
