Hello there you wonderful and extremely cute people!

Another week, another month, another progress update!

Let's jump right into the games, shall we?

I'm making amazing progress on the little "snippet" I want to release for Chapter 4 and I can say that you will get a decent amount of playtime out of this. I can also 100% confirm that it will release this month, probably a few days earlier for supporters and after that it will release for everyone. I might release it on Steam as well, not 100% sure, I will see what the community over there thinks about it. Length wise it will probably be like a day in My New Family, most likely a little longer, I'm aiming for like 15-20 minutes. Like I said, this is only a super super tiny part of Chapter 4 but I feel like getting some time with Bethany and Sabrina in the current time where they talk about the things that happened will be good. And don't forget the little "flashback" moment you will have with Sabrina which will also be featured in the prequel. I don't know, my thoughts on doing this are more positive than negative especially since it has been such a long time since you got time with Bethany and Sabrina in My New Memories. I hope you will come to the same conclusion once you play it! Todays render is actually Bethany in Sabrinas apartment, shortly before she leaves to give the two some time alone. Keep in mind that this is still only one day after the MC got attacked and Anna woke up, so they will talk about it since its very fresh.

I also put a decent amount of time into the next prequel chapter. I feel like the start of the romance with Rei and Lea is just the beginning for the MC. While the shock of who Rei really is still sits deep in him, he also has to make sure that Lea will get updated on this. She knows about the feelings the MC has for Anna and even though Anna and Lea didn't interact much with each other, they're still friends. Since Lea is also the first love interest you interact on an intimate level with, she'll be the one who encourages you to not hide your feelings for other women, as you can imagine. Still, the MC is uncertain how to proceed after getting to know who Rei's cousin is, since he really wants to talk to her again but also doesn't know what she thinks about him or if she even forgot him. These are all things he can talk about with Bethany, Lea and Sabrina, but not Rei, at least initially. He doesn't know how she'll react if she finds out that his soulmate is her cousin - Something that will also be relevant for the main game, once Rei appears there. I'm not going to spoil too much in that regard, but Rei will just be as important as the three gingers during later chapters of the main game.

I have more news regarding My New Family 2 as well, which will 100% release this year , just like the next chapter of My New Memories: The Beginning will release. As soon as I have my rendering assets back I can also release Chapter 4 of My New Memories in a faster way than you might think - I'm around 1/3 finished with the script and it will be long. Way longer than Chapter 3. I'm doing my best, despite all the stuff that is going on in my life with this stupid investigation and potential court case against me, to get back to my initial form.

And I think thats all for now. Like usual, I'll tell you guys if there are any news. Until then, stay awesome!
