Progress Update | 18/10/2021


Hello there you very cute people out in the world!

Another week, another progress update!

I have some more news regarding My New Family 0.22 this week. I started to add some of my new writing stuff that I learned in My New Memories into My New Family, creating some more in depth and emotional dialogues. You will notice this right away in the beginning of the first day, at least if you decided to romance Lucy. I want to steer the game back into the very positive no drama thing that is has been anyway, just a little more, I guess. You will see what I mean once you play it! I still aim to release at least one beta this month.

I also have some very good news regarding My New Memories. I will most likely finish the script for the last day this week. I'm already at 8000 lines of code and I'm only 1/4 done with the day. Like I said a few times by now, the first update for My New Memories will be as long ( if not longer ) than a regular My New Family update. And that is over the span of "just" three ingame days. Working on it has been a blast, I'm enjoying it a lot and it also started to improve my overall mood outside of working on the game. I started to do some personal stuff that I have been neglecting for the last few years. Anyway, back to the game. Like I already teased in the last progress update, I will end this one with a big cliffhanger. It will be a very obvious if you pay attention, kinda like the last one. And of course, it aims to make you happy, not angry or worried. That is something that will probably never change with any of my games - creating positive emotions over negative ones. Drama free zone, I guess. I also plan to give the MC a pretty important "solo" event, one where he is basically on his own without any of the other girls present. Well, except someone that he always relies on in these trying times. It will be very emotional and I hope it will shine some more positive light on his life before the accident. The render you see in this news is from an early event of the third day, where you spend some time with Yukiko and talk about different things.

And I think thats it for this week. A little shorter progress update, still, I hope it's still enough information for you guys. Keep an eye out on the patreon page to see if the writing hits 100%, but it should. I'll keep you guys posted, no matter what. Stay awesome!

Does that mean I'd have to start over to see the new dialog style? Can you clarify a bit more?

Kudos, '7.  The overall positive emotions, avoiding heavy drama, and ensuring that each character develops credibly based on each's own personality, makes this game really enjoyable to play.  I like your sometimes breaking the 4th wall, and poking fun at MC blanking out, etc.  Just a thought... Megan sans habit grows much closer with MC, but back in the habit is frustrated with his double entendres and seemingly innocent banter, adding to the playful tension.  But seriously, Lucy's development has been awesome - eager to learn more about her vision, etc.  Great job so far!

Looking forward to both updates. Seriously, you write the best dialogue around.

Thank you for the update. You have already made me come to tears with MNF over Lucy, and you are talking about doing more of that....Glad you are doing things you have put off---so good for your mental health. Thank you for brining us two amazing games.
