Hello there you wonderful and very cute people!
Another week, another progress update!
Well, I think its finally time I show you two of the characters I made so far and that I'm happy with. Remember when I said "They won't look like the original characters at all" and stuff? Well, looks like my mind won't let me create something completely unique when it comes to my beloved My New Memories creations. Without further talking, let me show you Anna and Lena, the two chars I finished so far. Keep in mind that I will only recreate the main girls ( including Karla and the Twins ) so Sabine, Dr. Rosenberg and other characters won't be remade for the moment. And also keep in mind that these characters are TEMPORARY, until I get my stuff back.
Well, here is the new Anna.
And as a comparison, here is Anna from the main game as you remember her and how she will look again once I have my stuff back.
I feel like I did a decent enough job to make Anna look different, but if you see her, you will immediately know it's her, even if they wouldnt have the same hair.
And here is the recreation of Lena:
And as a comparison, here is Lena from the main game:
Again, I feel like I did a decent job here. I prefer the original Lena over what I made, but I'm happy enough to use her for now. Please don't hesitate to share your feedback on this but keep in mind that the most important for me personally is that I like them, since I have to work with them.
I think finishing these recreations is my highest priority at the moment, since this is a process where I'm in the "flow" of working on things and I rather focus on this and then transition fully over to My New Family 2 again. I will share the other characters as well, of course, and the next one I'm doing will be Yukiko. My aim is to make these characters cute and loveable enough that they will fit as a TEMPORARY replacement, but that the characters I made already will always be the better choice, at least for me.
And I feel like thats it for now, I don't have that much more to share. If I hear anything new from my lawyer or something new in general comes up, I'll let you guys know. If you don't mind sharing your feedback on how these characters look, I'd be happy to read your comments! Stay awesome!
Hello there you wonderful and extremely cute people!
Another week, another progress update!
Todays progress update shows you the new TEMPORARY Lina I made. I actually planned to show off Olivia as well, but I decided against it because I'm very unhappy with the new temporary model I made of her. Lina looks very different, of course, but I Think the temporary version will work for now. I decided to give her some more freckles, her body proportions are the same ( her boobs might look bigger because of the shirt she is wearing ). The second picture is the Lina as you remember her from the main game.
While I'm more happy with some of the temporary characters I made so far than I thought I would, I'm also less happy about one in particular, and that is Sarah. I will most likely not going to remake her again like I'm doing with Olivia right now, but I just feel like she is missing something I can't put my finger on. I know I said I want the characters to look vastly different from their originals, but I think with Sarah I went a little overboard. I know this is all temporary until I get my stuff back but like I always said, I have to be the most happy about them because I have to work with them. At the moment I'm working on Morgan and Sophie and I'll show them off sometimes this week, after that I will post Olivia. I still want to make sure they stay their cute petite self, especially Olivia and Morgan, so I will take extra care of that. After that the known main cast is done and I'll try to make recreations of Karla and the ginger twins.
As soon as I'm done with remaking the chars ( and securing them in like ten different ways ), I will continue my work on My New Family 2. I plan to have a playable super early alpha version available for supporters in february, which will only contain a very small part of what I'm planning ( it will most likely only show off Sandra and the two new tenants she has with the MC ). This will serve as kind of a first impression regarding feedback you guys might have and if I'm going in the right direction with it, especially since this will be all made in Honey Select 2, so it will be a very different artstyle. I'm super happy that most of you amazing people are open minded and rather wait with what I make before condemning it, so thanks for that!
And I think thats it for now, people. Stay tuned for the next posts containing new characters and if any new info drops on my case, I'll let you guys know. Until then, stay awesome!
TEMPORARY
Original
Hello there you wonderful and very cute people!
Another week, another progress update!
Well, I thought I was done with re-creating the main cast with temporary characters but I totally forgot Jessica. So in todays progress update you see the new, TEMPORARY, model of her! And I think for the first time ever I actually prefer the new model over her old one, but that might just be me. Now the known main cast is really done and I also made some more adjustments to characters you've already seen ( Lena now has her original skin tone, for example ). The last three I have to do are Karla, Emily and Caroline ( the ginger twins ). I only showed you a few renders of them and they didn't appear in the main game yet, but they will play a big role in Chapter 4, as you can imagine. Once I'm done with these last three ( should be sometimes this week ), I will work on the demo for My New Family 2 and then, possibly, release a first full beta of Chapter 4 ( since I've basically written more than half of the script for Chapter 4 already ). I'm not 100% set on this but this is my plan. Don't forget to share your feedback about Jessica in the comments!
I was very worried when I initially started to make these temporary models that I would absolutely hate them, but I'm super happy that this is not the case. While I prefer the old ones and will always prefer them over the temporary models, I think using them to release Chapter 4 sooner than later will help a lot. Chapter 3 release has been almost three years ago after all and I think it's about time you guys get to see what happens after Anna wakes up. I'm super motivated , way more than I thought I would be, and I think that 2026 will be a great year for me as a developer and for you, the players. My New Family 2, Chapter 4 of the main game and, hopefully, Chapter 3 of the prequel. I think that is a very, very likely scenario. I have to admit that my motivation downspiraled at the end of last year and earlier this month as well, when I made the decision. But I'm happy to report that it's going rapidly up again!
And I feel like thats it for now, people. If there is anything new to report or to show ( like Karla and the twins ) I'll let you guys know right away! Until then, stay awesome!

Hello there you wonderful and extremely wholesome people!
Another month, another week, another progress update!
Todays progress update shows the new TEMPORARY models of Emily, Caroline and Karla. I'm not going to post the old models as a comparison because they didn't appear in the main game yet and will be debuted in Chapter 4. Still, once I have my stuff back I will use the old versions I will have back then. With these three done the main cast of My New Memories is fully remade with temporary models. Sarah will receive a remake before I release the first Chapter 4 beta as well, but I will keep this one to myself for now. I feel like with every character except Sarah I did a decent job - So it makes sense that I'll remake her because I really dislike how the temporary model looks.
I know I probably sound like a broken record but you have to keep in mind that all of these models are temporary. Whether you prefer them over the old ones or if you dislike them and only want the original models, the fact that they are only temporary ( so hopefully only chapter 4 ) should always be kept in mind. I might reuse them for other games down the road, but for now, they will serve for Chapter 4, so you guys can enjoy the continuation of My New Memories. Chapter 4 is going to be a banger and I hope the temporary models will not hinder your enjoyment of the story that much. I'll do my best to make it up to you guys and the first real beta for Chapter 4 will be available very soon!
Thanks to the awesome help of someone from my community you guys will also get to experience the first playable demo for My New Family 2 this month. It will be a short demo, maybe 10-15 minutes, and shows Sandra, the twins and the MC in the original house you guys remember from My New Family 1. I have decided to make the demo in Honey Select 2 to gather feedback on the rendering with that engine. If the majority dislikes it, I might switch over to HS1, but I feel like new is better in this case. I'll do my best so that you guys immediately know "Hey, that's Sandra/Lucy/Becca etc."
And I feel like thats it for now, people! If anything new comes up that is worth sharing I'll let you guys know! Until then, stay awesome!
Hello there you wonderful and super cupte people!
Another week, another progress update!
Todays one is going to be a little shorter, I apologize for that!
As you may notice, todays progress update render is the new TEMPORARY Sarah. I know I initially said I didnt want to post her but I feel like giving you guys an update how she will look in Chapter 4 until I get her original asset back. I think this looks way better than the old one and I hope you guys agree. Now I really have completed all the temporary characters I wanted to make and I'm currently remaking the important scene places as a template - The hospital, the house ( as you saw in a few renders I posted here already ) etc. This should not take too long and I can start rendering for the first Chapter 4 Beta, so I hope you guys will look forward to that!
At the same time, I'm also working on the first playable demo for the ( more than I thought, to be honest ) highly anticipated sequel ot My New Family! I've done a good portion of writing already and I expect to have the demo out next week for supporters and then a few days later for everyone else. It's like I said in a previous post, a regular morning with Sandra and the twin tennants, just to give you a feel how the characters and environment will look with honey select 2. The house will not be final, I will adjust furniture etc, so keep that in mind. Besides that you can expect the usual shenanigans and a first glimpse at how the tenants of Sandra and the MC are around them. It's going to be funny, wholesome and of course there will be a pelican mention down the road - They know who MCs roomate is after all ( trust me, I hate this as much as you can imagine ).
And I feel like thats it for now, people. Sorry if this is a little shorter than expected, but there is not that much to share for now. If anything new comes up I'll let you guys know, though. Until then, stay awesome!
