Hello there you wonderful and super sexy people!

Another week, another month, another progress update!

So, I messed up. Not intentionally, but I messed up. My plan was to finish the script for the first Chapter 2 beta of My New Memories: The Beginning last week and then make the renders, which would have taken me until the weekend for a most likely sunday release. Instead I got sick. I don't know if it's Covid again ( I have yet to make a test ) but during Monday evening last week I got the stuffy nose and then it went downhill from there. It might just be a bad cold simce I'm already recovering nicely, my nose is more or less free and I got the coughing / sore throat now, which usually means I'm at the end of the cold. To make a long story short, I wasn't able to finish as much as I wanted. But I'll make it up to you guys. If you have been a $15 supporter or higher in the month of March 2025, you'll get the first beta regardless, and once I release the second beta, $5 supporters that were there in March 2025 will get it as well. Just remember to send me a DM once the post with the beta is up and you'll get the links right away. Thats the least I can do.

Okay, now that I got that off my chest, let's talk some more about Chapter 2 of the prequel. I have a great idea for a huge plot twist you'll get at the end of it. I know I know, you love and hate me for doing this kind of stuff, but this one will be extremely different compared to anything I have ever done. It will be very positive but most likely be such a big surprise that will need a good explanation in the game before it gets unveiled, especially regarding things that happened in the main game. All I can say is that it involves Bethany and someone else, you're not getting anything else out of me. Todays render shows Bethany in MCs room, it's during the night of the same day the MC learns about Rei. They talk about it some more, but Bethany also expresses her feelings regarding the MC getting intimate with a decent amount of ladies already. She's not concerned or anything, she just wants to make sure that the girls are all cool with it, I guess? I guess it's a good thing she doesn't know what Lea, Sabrina and the MC did the night before. I'm super excited to work on this Chapter now that I have made up my mind regarding the plot twist, and I'll do my best to release it way quicker than Chapter 1 took. Like I said, I want to get out a nice flow of updates out again, so once Chapter 2 is released, I can hopefully release Chapter 4 of My New Memories and/or My New Family 2. Still, it feels good to be motivated again, and I'll make sure that these are not just words. I always have the motto of "Show, don't tell", so I'm going to make sure this will be the case.

With me being down with the sickness ( no pun intended ) it was rather difficult to work on Chapter 4 or My New Family 2, so I don't have much to share there. We're reaching the point that it has been 2 years since I released Chapter 3 and this was like a looming sword over me for a long time, so I'm also more or less bombarding my lawyer with calls and emails ( well, more emails since I can't really talk right now ) to urge him to get a response from the state attorney. Like I said a few months ago, I will go all the way to make sure that I get my SSD back that only contains my render assets. I really don't care about anything else they got fro0m me.

Sorry that this progress update is probably not what you expected. I don't want any pity or stuff like that, I deserve all the blame you want to throw at me ( be it with cancelling your support or anything else ). I'll make sure to make up for the lost time though, like I said above! If I hear anything new I'll let you guys know. Until then, stay awesome!

Hello there you wonderful and super wholesome people!

Another week, another progress update!

First, thank you guys so much for being so understanding regarding my post last week. I really hate when I can't deliver on something I promised and I have to be held accountable for not giving you guys what you deserve - updates for the games. With me being sick I kind of had an excuse, but I still want to make it up to you guys, that's why I said that if you were a supporter in March, you'll get acces to the first beta of Chapter 2 regardless. Just message me once it's released and you get the links directly ( I can't really contact you on my own regarding this, so please reach out once the post is up! ). The good news is that I'm more or less fully recovered now. It's weird, "back in the day" a cold usually only lasted for 3-4 days max, now I'm basically bedridden for 1 1/2 weeks, feeling like shit. Maybe it's because I'm getting old, but maybe it's also because the colds are getting stronger. No idea.

Anyway, I'm also more or less done with the script and started to transition into making all the renders. I kinder underestimated that this first part of the first Chapter 2 day is way longer than I anticipated, but I think that's a good thing. For example, the ultra long Rei event you have after her reveal is my longest single person event for any game I made so far. I hope it's interesting enough for you to enjoy, especially since the MC will share a lot of information this time. The second event will be with Jackie, like I mentioned two weeks ago, and if you pay attention there she will mention a lot of things that will explain a few traits of Sarah in the original game. Since Jackie is also adopted it makes sense that he can see paralels to Sarah later on, even though she knew that she is adopted, compared to Jackie who only recently found out. Still, this event will show how close the MC and her are and from the looks of it, Jackie might want to be even closer. That's for you to decide though, if you want to open this path with her. Todays render is Amelie, though, in her dorm room. With Amelie I'm basically jumping into new waters since she is a character that is completely "new", she has no ties or connections to anyone, something I have never done before. If you think back to MNF, all of the girls were somehow connected to each other - Even Dianna, who was in contact with Fiona before etc. I hope you guys will enjoy Amelies company, though, especially since her first appearance was rather dramatic.

While the renders are being made I usually go back to Chapter 4 of My New Memories, which is almost at the length of the first prequel release - and I'm not even done with the first full day yet. Once I have my files back the rendering might take a while but it will be such a joy to put pictures on these events , especially anything that is related to Anna time. But I also want to slowly explore a path that I've never done before in any of my games, not on the first day, but it will get talked a lot about with Anna. Remember when Sarah mentioned Sabine's family, especially her mother, when she was in the hospital with the MC? I really want to dive into this part of kinks and I hope I can pull it off in a good way. I still want to stick what I can do best, which is wholesome household loving with no drama, but getting a bit kinkier ( like I did a few times in MNF ) is always fun, right?

And I feel like thats it for now, people. Sorry that there is not that much stuff to share, I still hope you are somewhat happy with this update. If anything comes up I'll let you guys know, until then, stay awesome!

Hello there you super cute and extremely wholesome people!

Another week, another progress update!

I have finally completed the script for the first My New Memories: The Beginning Chapter 2 prequel and I'm now starting to make all the renders. It will be quite a lot, but I'm confident I'll be able to finish it this week. Todays render is a small portion of what happens directly after Rei reveals who her cousin is, I already mentioned that Sabrina of course felt the shock of the MC. This will lead to a talk with Sabrina and then a super long event with Rei, that will also include something lewd. I think I also mentioned this is the longest single person event I ever did in any of my games, so I hope you guys will enjoy it. But it's with Rei and I feel like she has become a very loved character by most of you fast! I'm hoping that the faster ( but also a bit shorter ) betas will help get me into a good groove again, since you amazing people voted that I should go this direction. So if you're going to play the first beta, please don't hesitate to give me feedback - Especially regarding the length, if that was enough for one beta etc. All feedback is welcomed in that regard! The next beta will kinda hint at what might happen at the end of Chapter 2, a reveal that is currently a little difficult to put in words but I will do my best to make it make sense in the prequel!

While I mostly prepare renders during the day and let my PC render them out overnight, I also worked a bit on Chapter 4 of the main game again. I felt like Bethany and the MC needed a longer event alone as well, even though Bethany will mention that she has no issues that the MC is staying with Anna or the household in general. Still, if you decided to pursue something with Bethany, you will have a very interesting talk with her regarding her feelings. You probably remember what she said after that certain night, that she just wanted to "get it ouf of her system" so she can have a normal relationship with the MC again. Well, that didn't work out, since the feelings are getting stronger and stronger. After being alone for such a long time, basically only caring about the household, it was pretty easy to see that the ginger lady would end up wanting more. With Karla and the twins arriving she might also worry to get "replaced", which is something the MC will clarify real fast. I think I mentioned this a few times by now but Chapter 4 will be all about healing and getting the relationships that only recently started to the next level, especially emotionally. So this event with Bethany will be a good indicator for that.

And I feel like thats it, there is not that much to report this week I feel like. If I learn anything new regarding...Well, anything, I'll update you guys asap. I hope you had some very relaxing easter holidays, stay awesome!

I know that Olivia is off limits in game and Killer's partner will abandon him if he does anything with her, but I wonder if she might show up in the P1 or P4 redhead thread at some point...

What is this killer7s partner will abandon him for that?

 

[Tosser]

What is this killer7s partner will abandon him for that?

He's opposed to sexualizing Olivia. This isn't a loli style VN. There are already plenty of those and it doesn't need to be. If K7 tries to go that route, even though Olivia is written as 18 & petite, his partner doesn't want any part of it. Or, at least that's what I've read elsewhere.

that's unbelievable, feels like a very easily made up cheap excuse. he doesn't want to lewd her for some reason because that's what he was saying from the start that he doesn't want to do that, not that his partner isn't ok with it but whatever.

And btw there aren't plenty of Loli style games.

 

[Petermax77]

Olivia is the same size as Alice from NMF so i don't buy that argument.

 

[AlfaBit]

Olivia is the same size as Alice from NMF so i don't buy that argument.

My bet is on the recently infamous teasing strategy, he started MNM when Grandma's House and WVM fans were so agitated with all the teasing with nana in grandma's house and the mother in wvm that they keep paying those creators in the hopes that someday they will get what they are paying for but in the case of wvm they still are getting teased and nothing else but still they keep paying.

Although it seems like he wasn't very successful in attracting much audience with this strategy but he tried nonetheless.

Otherwise why wouldn't he change his dev notes saying everyone in the game will eventually be lewdable when multiple people have asked him to do that because he is saying he will not lewd Olivia. He wrote in bold yellow words that Morgan trans route is optional but he can't put Olivia can't be lewded in the OP, why?

And you know what I don't know if anyone here is supporting him in hopes of a lewd Olivia, if they are, I would say they are wasting money because after that case drama he definitely will not lewd her. And it should be put on the OP here because he himself has said that multiple times.

 

[Petermax77]

it wouldn't suprise me to know his proofreader was the one who turned him into the Gestapo just because of Olivia.

 

[angband]

No, that whole mess didn't start because of the game.

 

[skybreaker1780]

Can you change the daughters ages? Never mind. I forgot about console commands.

It's a longshot, but I know how to turn on the commands but not knowing how to change age. Do you know?

 

[Tosser]

It's a longshot, but I know how to turn on the commands but not knowing how to change age. Do you know?

It depends upon if it's a defined variable. If it isn't, you'd have to seek out each mention of age in the script and change it manually.

They're all 18 plus. Just let one VN you play have LIs that aren't underage - it won't kill you.

 

[AlfaBit]

it wouldn't suprise me to know his proofreader was the one who turned him into the Gestapo just because of Olivia.

You really think he had to do all that for a virtual Olivia? As I've already said it's just a made up story by k7 so people stop asking him to lewd her because now ball is not in his court about whether she will be lewded or not, while before he said he just doesn't want to lewd her himself so people were trying to convince him to change his mind.

And anyway what power a proofreader have on his game dev, this statement in itself is just absurd, when the other user said a team member, I thought he meant someone more important than a mere proofreader.

Right, especially when if his proofreader walked out, he could post a message here and on the F-Zone saying, "I need a new proofreader, any volunteers?" and likely have more responses than he knew what to do with.

Hello there you super cute and very attractive people!

Another week, another progress update!

As you might have noticed, I was not able to release the first Chapter 2 prequel beta this weekend. The very good news is that it will release Tonight or rather, super early in the morning tomorrow ( My guess is between 1 and 3 am CEST ). I'm just missing 3 or 4 renders and then I have to apply the fixes my proofreader found in terms of typos etc. This first beta will be a good bit longer than the snippet, like I said a few times, it's about the size of one My New Family beta ( if you remember those days ). It will be mainly about Rei and Jackie, who you see in todays render, blushing. I wonder what she is going to talk about with the MC, but I'm pretty sure you already have a good guess. This will be one of those events where you make a decision, one that is rather important down the road. Jackie is a very special character to me because her past directly influenced the MC in the main game regarding the adoption of Sarah and Lina. I think once you play this part of the game you will understand what I mean with it. I can't wait to read your feedback for this first beta. Don't forget, $15 and higher tier supporters will get to play it at the times I mentioned above and $5 and higher tier supporters will get to play it on the weekend! I'm also thinking about starting to offer Discounts on Patreon, so if you think that might be something for you, keep an eye out on it!

Since I was only making renders for the prequel I had a lot of time to work more on Chapter 4 and My New Family 2. I know most of you amazing people are waiting with a lot of anticipation to see how the girls look in My New Family 2. Don't forget, as soon as I show them they are still only concepts, so nothing you see is set in stone or might even happen like this. I'm still decicing on using Honey Select 1 ( the engine I used for MNF ), with the looks of the Christmas special, or Honey Select 2 ( that you might have seen used in games like Eternum ). Regarding Chapter 4, I was writing an event for Anna and the MC alone. It's going to be as romantic and "cheesy" as you probably expected from me when it comes to the developers favorite girl. I think the best comparison is to events you had alone with Sandra in My New Family, so there will be lots of kissing and hugging! And who knows, you might start to see some headpats ( not for Anna, but for some of the other girls that will randomly appear in this event ).

And I think thats it for now. If you are currently a supporter, stay tuned for the Chapter 2 Beta that will release later! Please don't hesitate to share any feedback you have regarding this beta. If anything new happens regarding my case I'll let you guys know, like usual! Stay awesome!

Oh yeah I went ahead and played thru, it's a good VN and their ages don't really make any difference

Another week and a public progress report from Killer7

Hello there you wonderful and super cute people!

Another week, another month, another progress update!

As you may have noticed, the first beta for the second prequel chapter ( what a tongue twister ) is now available for all $5 and higher tier supporters. I will most likely make a beta branch for steam too, I just have to figure some things out for that first, so stay tuned until you read about it there!

Feedback for this beta has been pretty good, the "shorter" length didn't seem to be an issue for most of you so I will continue to do it like that. I'm already busy working on the next beta, which hopefully will release by the end of this month. After the event with Jackie, you get reminded by Bethany that the Beckers ( Katharina and Lea ) are waiting for you to have dinner. The fact that Katharina, of all people, wants to cook, makes the MC very suspicious and once you play this event you will know why. It's probably going to be one of my bigger plot twists that I somehow have to explain before it drops, but I'm pretty confident in doing so. Katharina might drop some hints while the MC and Lea are clueless. I think this will be a great "first day" of the new Chapter, hopefully it will make you anxious to hear what the hell is going on. You know I'm all about "happy cliffhangers" and this one will be not any different, even though I know a lot of you people hate and love me for that. But trust me on this one, it will be very good. Like I said though, I have to somehow figure out how to do it so it makes sense - not only for the prequel but also for the main game ( though it makes sense to not get mentioned there since the focus is on MCs amnesia and him not remembering basically anything ). Keep in mind that my games are not focussed on "realism" when it comes to stuff like that, it's all meant to be a good journey that will make you feel happy! Todays render is Rei in the park, from the first beta!

So while I was putting my focus more on the next prequel beta, I was also able to squeeze in some stuff for the main game. I feel like with the ginger twins arriving the MC definitely needs some time to catch up with them in his hometown ( not the one where he stays during the prequel, but the one where he moved to with Anna ). Caroline and Emily ( the ginger twins ) love to hang out with the MC, since he always shows them the coolest places. I have a super interesting one in mind which I'm not going to spoil, but let's just say one of the twins will get very confident and then extremely shy about certain dialogues. The other one will make fun of her, just to admit that she wanted to do the same. It's going to be an event that is more on the funnier side, kinda because I want to show what kind of people the twins are. I think I already made this comparison, but they're a good mix of Lina and Yukiko.

And I think thats it for now. It's kinda insane it has been almost 2 years since the last My New Memories update dropped... But I'm really confident that this time will not increase that much anymore. Like I said a few times, I have a plan in mind if this is going to take longer than the personal deadline I made for myself. It's going to be the hardest thing I ever had to do, but if there is no other way, I'll do it. I don't want to make you guys keep waiting forever just because I want to wait longer. But more on that on another time. Until then, stay awesome, people!

Hello there you wonderful and very attractive people!

Another week, another progress update!

Work on the next prequel beta has been going very good, I feel like I'm finally getting closer to get that huge "plot twist" in the end into the story. I think you remember that I mentioned that he MC is invited to dinner with Lea and Katharina, something very unusual. Well, if you decided to pursue a relationship with Lea, they will have a longer talk in the living room ( like you can see in todays render ) about Katharina acting kinda weird lately. And it's not only in regards to her wanting to teach the MC certain things, it's something different that they noticed in general. They think back to a few years ago and realise that it's not only Katharina that was acting weirder lately, Bethany was doing the same. They both have no idea what is going on though, and Katharina had a very weird request for the MC and Lea ( which they will listen to for now ), and they're also trying to figure that one out. It's all kinda nebelous in this event but as Chapter 2 progresses, it's going to get clearer and clearer. You know me, I like to drop hints that you will eventually all get it before the end of this chapter drops. Just think of Rei, it was pretty obvious from the get go, right? It will be kinda like that in the end.

Now with this plot twist in mind, I was thinking if I should do something similar in Chapter 4 again. But I feel like with the ultimate event happening at the end of Chapter 3, I'll tone it down there, at least for one Chapter. There is going to be an announcement there in the end, but it won't be as big, I think. I want to fully focus on the MC getting to deepen his relationship with certain girls. Especially the start of the more interesting events with Lina, for example. Of course they are all distracted with Anna being awake again, but that doesn't mean that the things they started will just be put on ice. So while the MC and Lina will go for a longer walk ( think of the event with Sarah outside ) and talk about this and that, the topic of them being more ... Let's say, open with their feelings for each other, comes up. Now that the MC remembers everything ( all the clues that Anna also dropped in his dreams with her ), he is not as hesitant anymore, but still makes sure that Lina is comfortable with all of it. I've never written these kind of relationships before so I hope I can make it as wholesome as I usually do. I always want the girls to initiate the next steps so it doesn't become "Creepy" or the MC becomes too pushy. You can really look forward to Pebbles being not as shy anymore, though ( unlike Yukiko who will try to act brave but then fails in a super cute way in the end ).

And I feel like thats it for now. The only reply I got from my lawyer ( who wanted to get an update on the case file before easter ) is that he didn't get anything from the state attorney yet. But he continues to pressure them ( I have proofs of that, the state attorney is just not doing anything right now ). If anything new comes out of this, I'll let you guys know. Stay awesome, like usual!
