Progress Update | 06/09/2021


Hello there you wonderful and very cute people!

Another week, another month, another progress update!

As some of you may have noticed, Beta 5 released on the weekend which means the next release will be pre release. I'll have more info on that sometime this week, like usual, so stay tuned for that post. After that it goes straight into release!

Now I've been thinking a lot about 0.21 and where I want to go after that. I think My New Family is reaching a good point for the timeskip now and to slowly wrap things up. Like I said a few times now, I plan on doing a timeskip to show the advanced pregnancy of the girls and then another big timeskip for My New Family 2. Now I'm not saying that the game will end soon, I don't want to rush things and I can promise you this won't happen. But maybe one more regular update and then the update with the pregnancy progress showing, something like that. I just don't want the game to become too boring or repetitive and I have to admit, writing has become more and more difficult over time ( because of the amount of content that is already in the game ). More on that will probably follow once I have the plans more fleshed out.

Now compared to last week I was also pretty productive for My New Memories. I made a few renders and also wrote a bit once I was done with the My New Family beta. Progress looks pretty good there and I think after 0.21 drops I will shift my work to My New Memories until the update is complete. I will still make that patreon post but from what I gathered so far, you guys would prefer it like that as well. The render you see in todays news is a little flashback MC gets while Lina visits him. Lina is Sarah's sister, for those that forgot, and we didn't see her ingame yet. That will change with the update, of course I'm hopeful that I will finish the second day this month which means another beta for patrons etc!

Now I want to talk about the poll I will hold next week and what that means in general. My plan is to finish a My New Family update ( so 0.21 in this case ) and then switch over to My New Memories and work on that until that update is completed. After that I would work on 0.22 for My New Family etc. It would probably be the best for my mental health to do it like that, since working on both games at the same time is starting to become more taxing than I thought. You can tell me your thoughts in the comments if you want.

And I think that's it for this week. I want to thank each and everyone of you amazing people for the extremely wholesome comments I got under my two year anniversary post. It means the world to me to know that I have so many wonderful people in this community that support me. So thank you for that, again.

Hope you're planning on using a montage of marriages to "cover" the timeskip if you're planning it for 0.23, because I sorta feel trying to cram them all in 0.21 and 0.22 when the MC hasn't even finished proposing to all the girls would definitely feel rushed, and I'm not sure MC/Sandra in particular waiting 7 more months (I think?) to make it official post time skip really fits them.  A montage would also let you feel like there's some time progressing to prepare for each one to make each ones special/unique, without having to make a bunch of actual days with filler between them.

I am just really curious about MNM, about where its at regarding the beta, i think you said that it would be released on steam as a beta too? It's been quite a long time now since I played MNM and will probably have to replay it at some point, but it would probably help a lot if I just waited for the beta to appear on steam.

Also regarding MNF I think as long as you can keep adding girls and coming up with stuff like you did with lucy, you could probably go on as long as you were able to. 

I really like MNF its easily one of the best vn's out there at the moment, well i mean ive played he hundreds of vn's its easily in the top 3 for me.  I just really like the girls you have created, in so much as their backgrounds and stories. Lucy and fiona are quite hard hitting background stories for those two girls, and the way they pull through and become much better people. i mean the reverse could easily have happened to either or both of them.

I just hope we are not going to come to the end of MNF any time soon, but I would sadly understand if you didn't have no choice, due to lack of ideas etc and your health which is far more important than any game your creating.

You need to do whats best for you and your mental health regarding where you go from here. I fully support whatever decision you make even if it might not be to my liking.

I think doing it this way well help you from burning out on one game, like a breath of fresh air.
