Hello there you wonderful and cute people!

Another week, another progress update!

This is going to be a shorter one ( more or less )

Well, the prequel pre-release is out for $5 and higher supporters on the Discord and so far the feedback regarding the ending has been amazing. I'm glad I was able to "pull it off" even though a lot of you already guessed it anyway. Still, this means the first chapter of the prequel is "completed" and the only thing making me wait for it to release to everyone is Steam, since valve is still reviewing the game right now ( they already had an initial review but I left some things in there like "Beta version" etc, which I had to remove ). So basically, as soon as Valve checked the game and said it's good to release, I will release it on Steam. That doesn't mean I technically have to wait to release it to the "public" in general since it was never my intend to hide the game behind a paywall. It's more...If you want to support me on Steam and/or like to have your adult visual novels there, you can buy it there. It's 100% not needed though, I'm pretty sure you can "borrow" it somewhere else ( cough cough Discord cough cough ). But yes, I'm super happy I was able to complete the first chapter before the new year and I really hope that his will help ease the pain on waiting for the main game to continue. Todays render is Rei on the phone. I wonder with who...

Over the holidays and the completion of the first chapter I "relaxed" a little, basically only did writing for Chapter 4 of My New Memories again. I'm so glad that even though it has been almost 1 1/2 years without having access to my assets, that I can still continue to work on this game that means the world to me. I'm probably putting too much Anna stuff into it right now but I hope it balances out with the other girls as well - I just want her to shine, I guess, since she is my personal favorite ( I think by now I said that over a thousand times ). Still, I'm more or less back in full force in terms of work and I'm glad it still does it's job with keeping me occupied and to endure this super frustration and way too long ongoing situation. The main thanks for that goes to you guys, though, since the only reason I feel that motivated is because I want to deliver something as soon as I have my stuff back. Something that will make you say "Okay, it took quite a long time, but the wait was worth it".

I'm still working on Honey Select 2 versions of Sandra and Lucy and I feel like I'm nearing a point where I can say "Okay, let's show it to the people". My New Family 2 will be just as important as My New Family 1 is to me and I know that the visual difference between honey select 1 and 2 is huge, but I really hope that you guys will like it since Honey Select 2 will offer me more options to work on the game ( in terms of assets etc ). You guys will be the deciding factor in the end because I personally wouldn't mind to continue in Honey Select 1 ( the game would look like it did in the Christmas Special then ).

And I think thats it for now. Thank you guys so much for all the happy holiday wishes on the render I posted, I will make another post on new years eve where I will talk a bit more about everything! And if anything comes up, I'll let you guys know! Stay awesome!
