Hello there you super cute and very wholesome people!

Another week, another progress update!

As some of you amazing supporters may have noticed, I'm currently running a poll regarding betas of My New Memories ( And My New Family 2 in the future ). To give you a tl;dr, I'm thining of releasing more betas with "less" content ( it will still be longer than the snippet, for example ), which means you will get releases faster. Nothing will change regarding the overall size of a chapter, it just means that if you prefer to play "longer" betas, you just have to wait until I release the 2nd and 4th beta, because then nothing will change for you. I'm doing this mainly to combat writing burnout when I stick for too long. So it basically means that you will get content in a faster way, I don't think there is any downside to it. The fact is that My New Memories: The Beginning has released January 1st and the only thing I released in the meantime was the snippet. I don't like not delivering more content, so this will hopefully make it easier ( at the moment the poll is in favor of releasing more betas ).

Speaking of betas, I will most likely follow through with it for the first to release, which means you will get to play the first Beta for Chapter 2 most likely this weekend! This beta will contain a super long event with Rei and then some quality time with Jackie. You can see her in todays progress update and the MC and her will have a very serious and emotional talk, talking about their feelings they might have for each other. Don't forget that they are best friends, so letting feelings into this relationship will not be easy for them. Still, if you know my games then the outcome will always be positive. This event will also be pretty long, and both of them will also talk some more about their families. If you remember, her situation is kinda difficult to herself and she is still struggling with the fact that her parents aren't really her parents. The MC will do his best to comfort her, of course, coming from a household that also went through certain phases of being alone ( not nearly as bad as Jackie had to go through though ). Feedback on this beta will be pretty important because I'm letting the MC talk a lot to instead of the usual "the girls speak and the MC reacts" conversations. So please tell me what you think of that once you play this beta.

After I gathered some feedback regarding the snippet I'm still thinking about releasing one with a very long Bethany event, but I'm not 100% certain on that. I feel like giving too many snippets for Chapter 4 will just take away time that I could invest in the prequel and My New Family 2 or Chapter 4 in general, so thats all not final. The good thing is that Chapter 4 has so much content already that while rendering might take a while, you'll get the biggest beta ever once I have my assets back. Regarding My New Family 2 I'm still undecided regarding Honey Select 1 or 2, but at the moment I'm more leaning into Honey Select 1 again to keep the "known" style of My New Family. Like I said a few times by now, if you want to know how My New Family 1 might look, go play the Christmas special I released!

And I think thats it for now people. If you have the time ( and are a supporter ) please vote in the poll, it's two posts below this one. You can also share your thoughts in the comments regarding anything or send me a DM! If I learn something new, I'll let you guys know. Until then, stay awesome!
