Progress Update | 29/08/2022


Hello there you wonderful and cute people!

Before I jump into my plans for My New Family ( since I will be working on it again starting today ), I just wanted to tell you guys how happy I am regarding the feedback I got for Chapter II of My New Memories. Since the update took quite a bit longer than I wanted, I wasn't sure if the waiting would be worth it for you. Looks like it was, though, since the responses so far have been extremely positive. This really helped me feel more at ease about this whole "delay" stuff that has been happening, so again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

One more thing ( sorry ): On Wednesday, August 31st, it will be my three year debute in this "industry" as a developer. I plan to make a longer post that day again, talking about the future of My New Family and which way I want to take the game going further ( mainly speaking about My New Family 2 there, I think ). These last few months have been pretty tough regarding this, but I think I'm getting to a comfortable spot now.

Okay, now let's talk about My New Family. I basically took the "weekend off" to read your comments and posts regarding MNM Chapter II, so no work has been done. Now I'm fully back to focus on the MNF update again, though. Since we are pretty close to the end of the game, I plan to finally tie all the loose ends I have in the game together. You can probably guess what I mean with that - the side girls. I know that a lot of people feel that these girls were kinda left out for quite a while, and I agree, but I think that was also the "point" of these girls to begin with. Not that the MC loves them less than the main girls, but they were always there as kind of a buffer between all the household stuff. The gingers are great, but the name of the game is not "The naked beauty and her two roomates", if that makes sense. So while this update won't focus only on the side girls, they will certainly get more content. You can see it as extra stuff on top of the usual content that was already planned to begin with. As you know, the wedding will be held at the end of the update, and there are a lot of things that have to be done before that. I also plan to change certain aspects of the interface of the game, mainly the main menu. Oh, and I want to add the option to remove the textbox etc, like I did for My New Memories. So, lots of things to do, but I think I'm on a good way already.

My New Memories is not on hold, though, and I'm still working on it as well. You can see something I plan to add to the game in todays picture, a little character overview. I will do this for every girl you meet in the game ( that has a name ), just in case you forget who she is. Tell me what you think about it, you will be able to access that ingame, by the way!

And I think thats it for this week! I'm looking forward to work on My New Family again now, making sure that this update will be a wonderful experience to ease you into the transition for My New Family 2. Stay awesome!

I think it be good to add in the characters  in MNM that way pp like me can go to it and go ahhh her to refresh memories. and i LOVED chapter 2 and the ending was so cute as well.

Killer- you wonderful story teller you-  

Been loving your works for a while and I know I have said it a few times but I have to say it again.    Don't Rush it.  Don't FORCE it.  Don't feel you have a solid deadline.  We can just deal with a week or two off your target date.  I can't list the amount of Billion dollar AAA games that RUSHED, FORCED and bludgeoned their designers to insanity to make the Holiday Gold Press.  What they produced was buggy crap the Mod community had to clean up to play. (cough-Bethesda-cough)  

Even here in Itch  there are those who rush to make a self induced deadline and I get bugs from major game crashing code to english translations so bad it would make you squint.

YOU, however, have had very little go wrong in the scope of things.  Well that we have seen.  I'm sure there have been a dumpster fire or two in Alph.  Anyway- You make a clean game (well... clean of bugs ;) )  You take pride in your work and it shows.  

Go with your Gut and go at your own pace.  We'll be here :)  

Thank you for the Stories. :)

I couldn't agree more with Woffies , this is one of my favorite novel's along with MNM , ... which I got from Steam ! I love everything about the story and the way it was put together , I just wish I could live in one of your stories ( Embarrassing ! ) , it would be A DREAM COME TRUE ! So please don't push yourself , do what feels comfortable and it will turn out great !

I'm still waiting to see the wedding and the baby with lucy and the rest of the girls.

Don't worry about "delays", you are doing amazing job, so waiting is always worth it.

Also remember that your mental and physical health is more important, so take your time whenever you need, you don't have to feel obligated to work more than you can, we will wait if need (and i'm pretty sure i'm speaking for most, if not every of us - your fans) (just saying ;) ).
