Progress Update | 10/04/2023


Hello there you super wholesome and very attractive people out in the world!

Another week, another progress update!

I have to start with kind of a bad news. Since last wednesday, my main PC started to give me bluescreens out of nowhere. I've been trying to pinpoint down the issue for like four days ( so, until yesterday ), but couldn't find a solution. I did memtest several times for the ram, no errors, I stress tested the CPU and RAM with prime95 and sometimes prime95 crashed, but it never caused the bluescreen itself. I also stress tested the GPU with furmark, nothing. Changed my m2 drives, still nothing. I even tested each ram stick in each slot and while it sometimes ran stable for an hour, it always ended up with a bluescreen. The culprit, according to bluescreenviewer, is an exe called "ntoskrnl.exe". Since I'm not able to switch the CPU or PSU, or even the mainboard, I messaged the company that build the PC for me. Thankfully, I'm still in a 6 months window where they will come and pick up the PC to check and repair it. I also put up an order for a new PC ( I wanted to do that anyway, so I have another 4090 here for rendering ), but that will also take a few days to arrive ( since today is a holiday in Germany ).

This means that the update might be delayed for a few days, since I'm only on one pc for now. I'm still making renders like usual, but trying to figure this stuff out threw me off my initial timeplan more than I thought it would. The render PC is still good and all my data is also saved, so no worries there. I'm really really sorry for that. If I can't release the update this month, you can ask for a refund for April and even if you are not a supporter anymore, I will make sure you get the pre-release anyway.

There will still be a lewd render this week and the lewd teasers as well. Thank you for the nice feedback on the "regular" teasers, by the way!

Now, let's talk a bit about My New Family. Before the stuff with my pc happened, I was in the process of adding a few Mods to Honey Select 1 to make the game look better. Mainly, 4k Diffuse Textures and LRE/IBL. That probably doesn't tell you much, but if you want to see the kind of "Look" I want to achieve, check out Ripples by Jestur. He is using these kind of things and if I can add that to Honey Select 1, it will be the engine I will use for My New Family 2.

Okay, My New Memories. I'm currently in the process of making the renders for the first half of the day and I'd say, I'm about 50% done with them. The second half of the  last day is almost done in terms of writing, but given the fact that I had these PC issues, I wasn't able to write as much as I wanted to. I put the scripts on the render pc tho and I will be able to write here while the PC is rendering, so that is a plus, I think. The second part of the last day will be the biggest rollercoaster of emotions we had in My New Memories so far. From the event with Sabrina and Jessica ( If you are in a relationship with her ) to the "big boom" of the update and then of course, the "climax" at the end which will be the biggest turning point in terms of events for the game. I will not try to tease you guys too much with it, I think I did that a little too much anyway, but at the end of Chapter III you will be smiling and maybe shedding a tear, depending on how emotional you are. Oh, and you will curse me, I guess, more than you ever did before. Chapter III is hands down the best update for My New Memories so far, and it's actually the first time I'm really confident about that statement. Todays render is Sarah in the morning, before you go to the hospital with her. She actually made breakfast for the MC, something she still remembers from when she was younger. 

And I think thats it for now. Sorry that I had to bring some rather bad news, I don't think the impact on my work is too big and I'm optimistic regarding this week in terms of work. If anything comes up, I'll let you guys know. Stay awesome!

Accursed tech issues! *shakes fist* D:<

Don't worry, I'll survive the wait.  I might get dehydrated from salivating for a few days longer, but I'll just drink some more tea. :P

Holy heck, 4090? thats a powerful piece of equipment, or do you mean the 3090?  and not running 1 but attempting 2?  oof, Im jealous lol

If you shop around there are various prices for that card. I had a pc built with it (RTX4090). 64GB ram DDR5, 13 Gen i9, 30TB ssd external storage + 2m internal ssd main drive.  This machine came out at around $3200 because I managed to get a really good deal and I know the guy who makes these gaming and work rigs (he builds machines for heavy power users who need quick machines for architecture design, cad etc .  My 4k monitor died (32 inc) gsync which was really annoying because was an asus rog top end gaming monitor too.  Thankfully the prices have come down to around $7/800 depending where you get it from.  When you need to buy 3 plus a new pc above, it gets expensive real fast. 

Ironically what I am after is really the RTX4090Ti which apparently will see a starting price of $2200 so a lot more expensive than the 4090. But like all RTX cards their prices tend to drop quite quickly from their original starting price. 

You just need to shop around, go online, ask neighbors if they know or use any particular computer shop and ask them to introduce you, the chances are you will get reduced prices because you have been introduced to them.

I'd give it a year and a machine like mine will be significantly cheaper, but then the tech will be a year out of date but for the average gamer, and their rigs they are far behind the curve of the above machine, so it will last a very long time and still be a huge upgrade for those on older machines a year or two or more from now. most gamers don't like to upgrade that much, they sit on mid range pc's and then wonder why they can't run the latest games...can't blame them with price of upgrading in general.

I just finished building my gaming rig, I'll admit, I'm no dev just your ordinary gamer!  I meant no disrespect I was merely surprised.  I know my rig isnt top of the line but I can enjoy AAA gaming.

Corsair 7000D airflow case w/ 11 fans going

Tomahawk B450 Pro mobo

Ryzen 7 3700x CPU

32GBs Vengence

AMD 6800XT GPU

1TB SSD for the OS and 64TB gaming storage

all running of AMDs 750w PSU


its a modest build that still flexes against the big boys and found my pc knocked my buddies out of the gaming ring haha. He was so big into power his custom build cost 10k and fell flat against mine surprisingly.  I got 1200 tied into it and havent watercooled it yet
