My New Family
Progress Update | 27/11/2023
Hello there you very pretty and super sexy people!
Another week, another progress update!
Today I had a pretty long talk with my lawyer and I was finally shown what the case is all about and what the police has there for evidence. And basically, nothing changed from the initial thoughts my lawyer and I had, it's pretty thin evidence all things considered. He says as long there are no incriminating things on my harddrives, the case will be closed. The issue is the time, since there is no definite timeframe for things like that. We will write a letter to the state attorney every week and ask for the SSDs, since those are the most important thing. I asked him about my games and if the police could see this as an issue, but he doesn't have knowledge regarding digital 3d assets, so he couldn't say no or yes. Stuff like this should be "fine" in Germany, though, at least from stuff I read online. His personal opinion is though that it should be "okay". This is all a waiting game now but after I read what the accuser said to the cops, I'm hopeful the case will be closed in time and my stuff will be handed out to me again. The TL;DR is that everything looks to be in my favour and now we just have to wait until the investigations are done. In his letter to the state attorney he wrote that these assets are basically things I need to live, so maybe this will help them work faster. After this talk I feel a little better, so I guess that is a plus.
Okay, now that the unpleasant stuff is out of the world, let's talk a bit about the games. Lewd render was pretty well received and I also posted a "covered" version on Discord etc, which seems to be even more liked by you people. I feel like this week could be a good time to put both, Bethany and Sabrina, in a render again.
Work on the Christmas special is also going pretty well, I'm currently writing more than I'm rendering, I'm confident I can release it before or on Christmas. Like I said before, it will be a ~15-20 minute "game", basically a few months after all the babies are born. It will be super cute and wholesome and I actually just finished a nice long evening event ( the day before Christmas ingame ) with the gingers and the MC. Especially Sandra and Alice will be as cute as ever!
I didn't work that much on My New Memories I have to admit, besides a few keynotes for Chapter 4. I think what' blocking me at the moment is the uncertainty, even after the talk with my lawyer. How many weeks do I have to wait? Or will it even be months? What happens after I released the MNF Christmas special? Working on these games is basically my life, I can't just not do anything. And while writing is good and keeps my head occupied, I sometimes fall back to "bad thoughts", thinking what happens if they don't want to hand out my ssds etc. Every time I think about that I get super restless, though, so that's why I'm trying to stay away from these thoughts. For now I'm just outlining where I want to go further in this update, especially with the introduction of new main characters ( Emily, Caroline and Karla ). It's hard to describe what is going on in my head right now, because it feels like way too much for one person. Maybe I do need a vacation after all - I know you guys have been asking me to take one. I'll see what happens in the next month or two, I guess. If I'm going on a vacation pledges will be paused, though, one hundred percent. If I'm not working I don't want to get paid. My plan was to go during february, but I'll see what happens. Todays render is Sabrina at Bethany's apartment, where she has a casual talk with the MC while being on the phone with a certain freshly awakened woman.
And I think thats it for now. I'll keep you guys posted if anything new happens or I hear something from the state attorney etc. Until then, stay awesome, you amazing people!

How will I install that new content on my current program. Can I just copy the files into the existing game folder and will my saves work ?
It sounds like good news about your ssd's. how can people be such nasty assholes they have to cause you so much emotional turmoil? Why can't people just mind their own business, what's it got to do with anyone else, it's your livelihood and non their business after all.
The way you have worded it, I am now looking forward to playing the christmas special after all!
I had to start MNF all over again, because I had forgotten that I hadn't copied any of saves over to my new computer. The drive died and I lost all my renpy saves. I have played this game through a number of times since I first got it much prior to v.014, and what i find interesting, is that usually after you have read a novel a few times, it tends to loose it's appeal because you know exactly whats going to happen etc, but I am still loving playing from the beginning again. I am currently upto meeting little alice and she has just moved in, had to comfort her the first night because she was so sad and scared. Still a long way to go, but just wanted to tell you I love the stories as if I was reading them for the first time.
Thank for such a wholesome and beautiful game, even if a number of people wouldn't see that way.
I know you said you will be making this game into version 1.0, and combining the 2 parts together, But you really need to fix the grammar. Maybe find someone fluent in English and whom has good grammar, so they can fix all the little syntax errors such as bring and take. You don't ask some one to bring you to the door, you ask them to take you to the door for example. This is the correct syntax. You don't bring anyone anywhere, you take them. Also you if your not going back to MNF to add the love route, it might be a good idea to remove that, and at the start of the game explain you can choose just one or however many girls / side girls as you want and you can choose to impregnate them or not at some point, but if you don't, there will be less content because this game was created to be played as a harem with a male protagonist. Just my thoughts.
Really looking forward to MNM.
I'm glad to see that things are looking up! your work has been pretty good and I look forward to when things stabilize for you and you can really continue your work in full.
