Hello there you wonderful and extremely cute people!

Another week, another month, another progress update!

Let's jump right into the games!

I made some decent Progress on the next prequel day which will probably lead to the first release of said prequel. I was figuring out how to do certain events and ease the newer characters to become more of the "core" members, like Amelie and Rei. Since the MC never met them before ( as far as he remembers ), it will be a very new experience for me to write "friends" like that. It was easier in My New Family because of the whole roomate scenario but for MNM, I can't rely on that, so it's going to be interesting to introduce these characters first as friends, then as good friends and then as love interests down the road. Especially Amelie is a tricky case, having a rough childhood with very bad experiences regarding men ( I feel like that is usually the case with some of these characters in my games and to be fair, it's always nice and emotional to write them like this ). After a certain event her and the MC immediately connect, though, and he is very interested to hear why she is studying music. Todays render shows Amelie at the MCs place, where she will meet Bethany for the first time as well ( In this case it was Sabrinas doing since she loves to introduce new friends to Bethany ). They will have a nice and long talk before the MC goes on his date with Rei - Where Amelie will try to give him some tips regarding that ( not that she has any experiences with dating either, it will be the first time for the MC as well ).

I also worked a lot on Chapter 4 again since the progress on the prequel was going a little slower. I managed to start to write a super cute event with Lena, where we will see a side of her that we never really saw before. Usually she is very tough and upfront, but this time the MC will bring her to a place that will spark a lot of emotions in her, leading to some rather deep and serious talks between them, especially regarding their future. With the MC having all his memories back, Lena will also not be an optional Love Interest anymore, but if you still don't want to spend much time with her because you don't enjoy her character that much, you will still have the the chance to do so. Just remember that the canon route is that they are a couple ( for Yukikos sake alone ). But yeah, this event will hopefully make Lena warm up to some of you amazing people that didn't like her that much yet. With Anna being awake and her pregnancy, things that seemed impossible are now not impossible anymore in the MCs eyes and he will do his best to show Lena what he means with that. That's all I can say for now, but I'm really looking forward to you amazing people playing this part of Chapter 4 and then telling me if I wrote it in a way that makes sense or if it will just be a little weird!

And I think that's it for now. I will update you guys as soon as possible, like usual, and a first playable demo for the prequel will also be out very soon ( probably this or next week ). It will be a shorter version of the first beta that was available for supporters, but it will give you an overview on all the characters etc! Until then, stay awesome, like usual!
