Hello there you wonderful and extremely wholesome people!

Another week, another month, another progress update!

Let's jump right into the games because sadly, I don't have any news regarding my case. It's annoying me more than it should and I just keep on hoping that I will hear anything at all sooner than later. There are some positive things happening in my live right now, for example, learning how to drive a car again. Nothing big, but everything that is slightly positive is good, right?

Quick notice: No, I did not forget about My New Family 2. The focus is just on My New Memories: The beginning and My New Memories in general at the moment. I still write down ideas and stuff for MNF2, though!

Work on the prequel is going better than I thought and I'm almost done with the first morning event. Todays render is actually from that and you can take a look at the slightly younger looking Sabrina there, together with Lea. This event happens right when you start the game, where you have breakfast ( with pancakes, of course ) and Lea pays you and Sabrina a visit. The three of you will drive together to college where you will meet some of the other girls. Like I said a few times, I don't want to create a typical college game, so if stuff is not accurate I apologize beforehand. I see it more as a university and since the MC and Sabrina are not going to move into a dorm, they will still return home to Bethany. This also means that I can play around some more with characters like Lea and her mother Katharina, because they can pay the family a visit from time to time! I think it will be a good experience and if you never played My New Memories before, it might give you the initiative to give it a try. My plan to have a playable first release ready this month is still there and I'm very confident I'll be able to deliver. Not sure on the length of it yet but I'll make sure it will be worth it for you people hanging out as supporters!

I'm still not sure if I will re enable the option to support once the first beta is available. If I don't then people that deleted their pledges will not be able to play it and if you are interested in playing it but never supported before, the same applies. I'll let you guys know and maybe make a poll for the final decision. So far it helped my mental health a lot that I paused the pledges for february, it gave me a huge boost in working motivation and writing has been a lot of fun again ( and that helped a lot with keeping my mind occupied, to be honest, which is funny because I technically didn't get paid to do so :D ). You guys can post your opinion in the comments regarding enabling the option to support again once I have a playable release ready, if you want.

I also worked some more on Chapter 4, progressing on a certain event that I hold dear to my heart. It's a lewd event and I'll try to make it wholesome, funny and lewd at the same time. Just some casual love making sprinkled with humor, I guess, and it will all be animated of course. If I look at it right now it seems kinda goofy but I think if you played the event that happens before, you'll see where I'm going with this. I know that lewd events are not really something I do well usually, so I hope I can hit the nail on the head with this one and show the improvement in terms of writing I got through the years. I think the recent lewd stuff that happened in MNM is a go in the right direction though ( the kitchen event with Sabrina, for example ).

I'm also planning to post semi lewd renders of the prequel girls here on the sites. They won't be fully nude like the regular lewd renders, but will reveal enough to hopefully make you more excited for the prequel! I know that has been a request from some of you amazing people!

And I think that's it for now. Like I said in every progress update lately, I'll update you guys as soon as I hear anything regarding my case ( or cases, rather, even the one where I'm a witness/victim ). And if anything comes up in general, I'll let you guys know as well! Don't forget to tell me what you think in the comments ( or message me on Discord if you want ). And most importantly, stay awesome!
