Hello there you wonderful and super wholesome people.

Another week, another progress update

As some of you may have noticed I was able to release the first playable demo for My New Family 2. This demo is currently available for $5 and higher tier supporters and will release for everyone this week. Like I said in last weeks post, this is more of a vibe check and so far the feedback from people that played it is more positive than anything else. People seem to like where the game is going visually and the different look of Sandra seems to be widely accepted. Feedback regarding the twin tennants was super positve and people love their different personalities. You can check them out yourself this week, most likely on wednesday and if the feedback stays like that, full work on My New Family 2 will begin!

While I will work on My New Family 2 I will also start making renders for My New Memories Chapter 4 with the TEMPORARY characters I made. Once I got a proper overview on how long it'll take to get the first beta ready for you guys I'll let you know. The beta will most likely contain one and a half days, so the evening with Anna in the hospital + the morning, where you're going to meet Karla and the twins as well. I will make sure to give you guys some proper time to adjust to the temporary models but I think it will work out, especially once you find out how the story continues and how the relationships will develop.

And I feel like thats it for now, people. This progress update is a little shorter, sorry about that. Don't forget that you can play the MNF2 demo right now if you want to, or you can wait until wednesday! If anything new comes up I'll let you guys know! Until then, stay awesome!

Hello there you wonderful and extremely cute people!

Another month, another week, another progress update!

As some of you may have noticed the My New Family 2 demo is available for everyone to test. So far the feedback has been really positive and I'm kinda relieved because of that that. I wasn't sure if you guys would end up liking Honey Select 2 and how different Sandra looks but the overall feedback was very positive. Thank you for that. This now means that I will finish up the other gingers ( Lucy and her tennant are already done, but no spoiler or teaser for that so only Alice and her tennant are left ). The first beta will release soon, 100% this month, my guess is maybe next weekend already. This beta will contain the event of the demo ( since a lot of you guys mentioned its a good way for people to get the My New Family 1 recap during the morning talk with daisy ), but you will also get some more fun stuff with Sandra, Lucy and Alice ( + tennants... God, you cant imagine how much I hate writing it like that ). You will notice something very unique with the tenannt that the MC has with Lucy and I'm sure you guys will like that! And don't forget, My New Family was always about all different kind of girls. You have the big booba and the small booba and the very small/big booba. So before you judge someone like Rose for having rather big boobs, wait for the other girls!

The first beta will be available for $15 and higher tier supporters first, so just like "in the old days" where the $5 and higher supporters will get access a few days later. I'm not going to make it like I did with MNF back in the day and wait till beta 2 for the $5 and higher tier supporters. I want more feedback faster, I guess. The beta will be a good bit longer than the demo, but not as long as a MNM or MNM: The Beginning beta, if you remember those. But you will get to meet all of the gingers there.Becca, Mary, Maddie, Elaine, Fiona will show up in beta 2 most likely. I want to take it a little "slower" and not flood the first release with all new characters at once. I think thats the best way of slowly but surely introducing all the tennants.

And I think thats it for now, people. I'm really really happy that you guys enjoyed the demo that much, that is such a huge relief. If I hear anything new regarding my case I'll let you guys know like always. Until then, stay awesome!

Hello there you wonderful and super wholesome people!

Another week, another progress update!

I finally finished up all the gingers + their tenants for the first beta of My New Family 2. So you will have Sandra + the twins ( that you already know through the demo ), Lucy + her Tenant and then Alice + her Tenant. They will look different compared to their originals in My New Family ( especially Alice , but she is still super cute ), but I think that is a good compromise to have all the new stuff available in Honey Select 2 available. I initially tried to make them look like their originals but I think that was the wrong mindset again. It's not really possible in Honey Select 2 and if I try, they will just look... Weird? So I rather make them ressemble them in a way, so you immediately know when you read the name "Oh, thats Lucy". I think it kinda worked with Sandra and I'm confident it will work with the others as well. Still, I'm always open to feedback regarding the choice of Honey Select 2. I guess the biggest testing point will be Lucy, since she is the fan favorite.

Like I mentioned last week the first beta will evolve around the gingers and their tenants. You will get to interact with all of them and get a feel for their personality. I'm doing my best to make them different again, like I did in My New Family 1 with the old girls, but you'll probably also notice some character traits that you remember from someone like Mary, Becca or Elaine. I mean, it makes sense, right? The household is pretty big and they're a very, very close one as well. I'm super nervous how you'll react to Lucys and Mcs tenant because I know a lot of you have been speculating on how she might look. The few people that I showed her to already were blown away by how cute she is and I hope you people will feel the same! I'm still aiming for a release this weekend for $15 and higher tier supporters, with $5 and higher tier supporters following the weekend after ( so you all can get to play in March ). I will keep you guys posted on how it's going.

And I think thats it for now. The latest progress updates have all been for My New Family 2 and I didn't really talk about My New Memories / My New Memories: The Beginning that much, but rest assured, I'm working on both of them like usual! I'm still aiming to get a first playable beta for Chapter 4 out sooner than later with the temporary characters. I'm more motivated than ever after the great feedback on the MNF2 demo so I'll do my best to increase my working speed to my "old self" again. If I hear anything worth sharing I'll let you guys know, until then, stay awesome!

Hello there you wonderful and super wholesome people!

Another week, another progress update!

As some of you may have noticed, I wasn't able to release the first beta for My New Family 2. Last week ( exactly 7 days ago ) I was starting to feel a little sick again and then I got hit full force with the man flu... Again. It kinda knocked me out harder than I thought so I wasn't really able to work as much as I wanted. But I'm recovering already and I'm back to working more, so this weekend it should work, I'm pretty confident. If you were a supporter last week and your supporting time ran out, send me a DM as soon as I release the demo so I can provide you the link. Just because I got sick doesn't mean that you should be left out!

I decided to rewrite the things you know from the demo quite a lot, so the event you experienced there won't be in the final game. I also decided to make the recap, where the MC tells Daisy ( one of the twin tenants ) how he ended up with all his wives and tenants, a little more fleshed out. So even if you remember everything that has happened in My New Family 1, it might be worth to check it out, since you will get a lot of small dialogues between the MC and everyone else around. Oh, and you get to see some of the old My New Family 1 renders where the MC won't get lazy to point out how different everything looks now. A little side jab because of the change to Honey Select 2 and stuff. After the morning talk and the recap the day will progress normally, with all the gingers showing up one by one to spend some time with the MC. That includes Lucy and Alice + their tenants, of course! And I'm sure most of you guys are excited to see how the tenant Lucy has turned out...Just like I am to see your reactions!

I also worked some more on preparing renders for Chapter 4 of My New Memories, with setting up scenes like the hospital one. It's basically just me loading up the environment, setting the ambient lights and then adding the characters. Since I wrote more than 60% of the script already, I can basically release two betas once the renders are done. No ETA for that yet, but it will be sooner than later. I want to give you guys access to the next Chapter of My New Memories as soon as possible. And no, I didn't forget about the prequel, but MNF2 and the main game take priority at the moment!

And I think thats it for now, people. Nothing new to report regarding my case but with the temporary characters all done, I'm not too impatient anymore when it comes to this. Like I said, once I have my stuff back it's going to be very easy to just re-render the scenes anyway. If anything comes up I'll let you guys know, though. Until then, stay awesome!

Hello there you super wholesome and sexy people!

Another week, another progress update!

As some of you may have noticed I was able to release the first My New Family 2 beta yesterday. Currently it's available for $15 and higher tier supporters. $5 and higher tier supporters will get access this week, most likely on friday!

The first beta will show all the gingers + their tenants, like I mentioned. You will get to know their names ( I changed the Name of Alice's tenant , just fyi ) and how they look and a short insight into their personality. I think I was able to give them all a little of every ginger. The twins have a lot of Sandy in them, but especially Rose shows some tendencies to Lucy and even Maddie. Lucys tenant has a lot of her old personality, the shy insecure cute one you just want to protect. And Alices tenant is... Well, a very hyperactive ginger! Like I said a few times now, I will slowly introduce the new tenants, not all of them at once and I will make sure that all of them get their proper time with the MC so you get to know them. So far the feedback has been great and the looks of the girls in HS2 seems to be a hit ( though I'm not really happy with Lucy and Alice look, but that is mainly a lighting issue, the renders were a little too bright. )

With the first beta released this means I will fully transition into my usual work routine again and I expect the full release in the timespan of ~2 months, if things keep going how they are going right now. I still have a lot to do and write and of course I also have to make some more characters - Next up is going to be the blonde troublemakers, Mary, Maddie and of course their tenants. I'm going to make sure that each one of them will be recognisable, even though they look very different.

I also started to make the first renders for Chapter 4 of My New Memories and a beta for that will also become available sooner than later. This means that you guys get to play a lot in the upcoming weeks and I hope this will bring me into my regular release schedule again. The one release per year thing really took a toll on me and I'm sad that since the release of My New Memories: The Beginning nothing "new" has come out ( besides the short Chapter 4 snippet ). I will do my best to improve on that again!

Thank you so much for all the new supporters, by the way. It means the world to me that you guys are still excited for new and upcoming releases from me so seeing the support made me a little emotional. If anything new comes up I'll let you guys know. Until then, stay awesome!

Hello there you wonderful and very cute people!

Another week, another progress update!

As some of you may have noticed the first beta for My New Family 2 is now available for all $5 and higher tier supporters. I already got a lot of feedback and I'm ready to adjust some things as they need adjusting. Like some character models, the lighting, some story bits etc. But overall the feedback has been amazing and I'm super happy that you guys are welcoming the new look of the girls.

The next beta is already in the works and should release soon, I'd say maybe next weekend? So after easter. This beta will continue where the last one left off and you might get a chance to see Becca, Mary, Maddie and their tenannts. Not 100% sure if all of them will be there but at least Becca and her tenant will be there ( I still hate that I have to write it like that but oh well ). So far my approach was to show the "old" girls like Sandy, Lucy and Alice and then give their tenants some time with the MC so you can get to know them already a little. This is of course just a super small introduction and over the course of the first release you will get a lot more time with all of them. One of the points people criticized was that they didnt have enough time with Sandy, Lucy and Alice and that the small events you had with the tenants didn't give you enough time to properly get to know them. I'll do my best to adjust that for the upcoming betas so you can be sure to enjoy some time with all of them - Including the girls you already know!

While I was gathering feedback and making a few adjustments for future updates, I was also working on My New Memories Chapter 4, of course. I'm making decent progress, finishing up the first event in terms of renders ( it's the one in the hospital right after Anna wakes up ). I think if I keep going like that then theres a good chance you get a playable beta in April, because making renders doesnt nearly take as much time as writing - just the rendering process itself ( but I usually let that do overnight ). So stay tuned for that!

And I think thats it. On the 28th of April I have another appointment with my lawyer because apparently the state attorney has some updates as well. As soon as I learn anything worth sharing, I'll let you guys know ( like last year in october ). And if anything in between comes up, I'll let you guys know. Until then ,stay awesome!

Is there animation in this game or is this more of a picture based game? Because it looks like a good game but if it's picture based then I'm out

Hello there you wonderful and super wholesome people!

Another week, another month, another progress update!

I made some great progress on My New Family 2 and the next beta. I'm still figuring out a better way to handle lighting, because I noticed how extremely bright characters like Lucy and Alice look and I'm considering remaking all the beta 1 renders eventually ( dont worry, that will happen at the end of a possible public release, betas are there for testing after all ). I'm currently making the models for Becca and her tenant and I think I came to the conclusion that while the characters will somewhat resemble the ones we know, they will still look very different - and that's okay, I think. Two decades have passed and people change their looks in that time - So while someone like Becca will still have long hair, she might look different with it. If that makes sense.

My plan for the first full public release is to show every main girl + their tenant and then show the other girls in the second chapter. So the first public release will have Sandra, Lucy, Alice, Becca, Mary, Maddie, Fiona and Elaine + their respective tenants. I think thats a good number of girls to show, the "old" ones with their new looks and the tenants as completely new girls. Maybe I will try to add Sun and Melissa to the bunch, but i'm not 100% sure yet because I feel like for the first release focusing on the main girls is more important ( that doesnt mean the other girls will not become main girls, its just easier for me to keep the numbers at a reasonable place ). I'll do my best to put something out this week, not 100% sure it'll work though!

Theres still quite a few renders to do for Chapter4 of My New Memories so I don't have much to report there, I was focusing more on My New Family 2 at the moment. Rest assured though, work on the next chapter of My New Memories is also very important to me. It's good to switch around sometimes, to avoid burnout from writing/rendering etc.

And I think thats it for now, people. I hope you guys had an amazing easter weekend and were able to enjoy the holidays. If anything new comes up I'll let you guys know. Until then, stay awesome!

Hello there you super cute and wholesome people!

Another week, another progress update!

As some of you may have noticed, there is no 2nd beta for My New Family 2 out yet. I'm really sorry about that, I have been slacking and there is no excuse for that. I was trying to consider my options regarding the lighting but then decided that Beta 2 will probably still use the same lighting I used for the demo and beta 1. Once I finalized the "correct" lighting I will just redo those renders - Doing that in Honey Select 2 is easier. And it's never a good decision to postpone writing because you are unsure about the renders. Rest assured, if you were supporting in March you will get access to the Beta regardless, because it was my mistake and slacking that you didnt get to enjoy the 2nd beta at the end of march. I'm not going to tease a release date yet, but it's very close. Sorry again for the delay!

Besides me messing up I'm still making constant progress on Chapter 4 of My New Memories as well. I'm pretty excited to get something playable out there as well, because the new temporary models and your feedback regarding this beta will decide how much I will continue to put into My New Memories. I know that so far most of you are happy with the temporary characters, but I also know that some are really against it. So the first beta will be a deciding factor for a lot of you as well. I'm confident that the story bit that you will be able to play will make it up for the lack of original models like Anna and the other girls.

And I think thats it for now, people. If I hear anything new that is worth sharing I'll let you guys know, April 28th is still a bit away when I have the appointment with my lawyer. Until then, stay awesome!

Hello there you wonderful and very cute people!

Another week, another progress update!

This one is going to be a little shorter because I'm adding the last touches to the second My New Family 2 beta!

The release will be 100% this week, I'm not sure when exactly yet, but for $15 and higher tier supporters it should be before the weekend - It's going to be a beta that will also feature my first animation done in HS2 ( so it's going to be lewd, as you probably guessed ). I wanted to add some feedback I got from the demo and first beta and decided to give the MC a decently long event with Lucy which will ultimately lead to a longer event with the tenant that the MC has with Becca. Becca and her tenant will be the first non-gingers showing up and I hope you guys will like how I designed both of them - Becca will look different, of course, but the tenant will be a very good depiction of a younger version of her, I think.

I plan to make the first release of My New Family 2 as long as the initial release of My New Memories, so around 2-3 hours of playtime, depending on your reading speed. I think that will serve as a good introduction to the main cast, which might also feature girls like Melissa and Sun. I think all of the girls of My New Family will eventually show up, with the exception being Soo and Suns mother, since they both didn't really play a major role in My New Family 1 either. That means you will get a huge amount of girls for the game and that I most likely won't introduce any completely new side characters, which makes sense given the fact the new household is already full of new girls.

I also worked a bit more on Chapter 4 of My New Memories, but nothing really to report there, it's just render being made overnight. I'm still not fully back to my usual work speed but that might be because the appointment I have on the 28th is lingering in my mind. While I always hope for good news I'm usually preparing for bad news, so that the initial shock doesn't hit as hard. The last appointment was rather neutral and I take that over bad news any day, of course.

If anything new comes up in the meantime I'll let you guys know. Stay tuned for Beta 2 release! Until then, stay awesome!

Hello there you wonderful and very wholesome people!

Another week, another progress update!

As some of you may have noticed, Beta 2 for My New Family 2 released yesterday for $15 and higher tier supporters. $5 and higher tier supporters will get access on Friday ( May 1st ). A little later than I hoped it would, but I sadly got sick again last week and was battling the dreaded man-flu again ( and I'm still battling it right now ). Still, beta 2 is released and with it comes the first NSFW Animation - With the "new" Becca! The second beta also introduces the tenant the MC has with Becca, a very cute and more quiet girl than any of the gingers. You get a longer event with her in a park where they will share some wholesome and emotional moments.

With Beta 2 released that doesn't mean I'm going to slow down, though. Beta 3 is already in the works and this one will most likely introduce two more girls again - Maddie + tenant or Mary + tenant , I havent fully decided yet. This beta will most likely include a NSFW animation again as well, probably with Sandy, since I feel like Sandy needs some time alone with the MC that ultimate leads to them having some fun. Beta 2 had a longer event with Lucy and the "old" girls deserve some spare time with the very busy MC too, right?

Because that stupid cold was holding me down more than I thought it would ( even more so than the last one, my left ear is still clogged ), I didn't really put as much work into Chapter 4 of My New Memories as I hoped I would. I think once I feel better ( which will be in the next days, hopefully ), I can put some more work into renders. I always feel bad when I go to bed and my PC is not rendering something overnight.

Tomorrow I also have the appointment with my lawyer and like usual, I'm always dreading these days. I usually expect the worst news but hopefully it will not be too bad - Maybe something like last time. If there is anything I can share I will let you guys know tomorrow.

And I think thats it for now, people. If anything new comes up I'll let you guys know! Until then, stay awesome!

Hello there you super sexy and very wholesome people!

Another month, another week, another progress update!

As some of you may have noticed, the second beta for My New Family 2 is now available for $5 and higher tier supporters. So far the feedback has been very good and especially Becca and her tenant seem to become fan favorites quickly!

Work on the third beta is already in full effect and this one will most likely show Maddie and her tenant, Lily. I think seeing the blondes will be a nice surprise, especially since Maddies personality hasn't changed at all. She is still that woman who keeps saying bad words, especially to the MC, and she doesn't shy away to use that language in front of Lily, her tenant, as well. And of course, like her landlady ( you have no idea how much I hate this, but it is what is is ), she loves to use these words too. This will lead to some funny dialogues, especially with Sandy around, who is not a big fan of the bad words, as you know! I expect the third beta to be ready next weekend, maybe sooner!

While I made that render with Anna yesterday I realized that I'm more excited for Chapter 4 now than I have been for a long, long time. The fact that the temporary characters got so much good feedback really helped me to focus more on My New Memories again, seeing the game for what it is. Story over some different looking characters and I think once you actually get to play Chapter 4 and see the characters ingame, the difference will not be as important as the story you will hopefully enjoy! I'll do my best to release a playable beta for Chapter 4 this month!

At last I want to talk about the appointment I had last week with my lawyer. Sadly, there is nothing to report there that I can easily share here because it's highly confidential stuff, but I can tell you that there is no real update on my assets yet. All I can say is Mega can suck a huge fat one. Once I hear back from an email I send last week, I'll let you guys know, because that might be something I can share then ( maybe positive news for once ).

And I think that's it for now, people. Thank you guys so much for your amazing feedback and supporting me through all of this. I'm glad that My New Family 2 kinda revived my spirit and I hope things continue this way. If anything comes up I'll let you guys know. Until then, stay awesome!

Hello there you wonderful and extremely cute people!

Another week, another progress update!

I'm making decent enough progress on the next beta for My New Family 2 and I recently finished the Honey Select 2 version of Maddie. She will mostly look the same, since the model that got used for her in MNF1 wasn't made by me back in the time and I had no idea that she is based on Marie Rose. Oh well, I think I still gave her my own touch and she is still the fit and loud girl you all remember from the first game. The next step will be Lily, her tenant, which you will meet in this beta. I also plan to give Sandra a longer event, since she is still my favorite and I don't want her to get less screen time ( I know that a lot of you also like Sandy a lot ). I think I'm going to stick around with showing new women each beta, so after that you will get Mary and Her tenant, then Fiona and her Tenant and lastly Elaine and her tenant. Once you met all of the girls the game truly begins and you will get so many events with each of them. I plan the first full release of My New Family 2 to be very, very long, to make up for the time you guys had to wait for it.

I'm also feeling better and better with the temporary characters I made for My New Memories, especially since you guys gave me so much positive feedback. I know that some of you even prefer the new ones over the old ones, and since I don't know when I get my stuff back, I will continue to use these models for as long as I have to. But please keep in mind, once I have my original characters back, I'll redo all of the renders I made with them and re-release the chapters that have been made since then. I'm making decent progress on the first real beta for Chapter 4 and I can't wait for you guys to see what happens in the hospital and how the talk with Anna will go.

And I feel like thats it for now, people. I haven't heard back from my lawyer yet sadly, but I feel like with what I requested, it might take some time. If I have anything to share I'll let you guys know, of course, the last talk I had with him is still on my mind, in a more neutral way. Let's just hope things work out as we hope they will. Like I said, if anything comes up I'll let you guys know. Until then, stay awesome!

Hello there you sexy and very wholesome people!

Another week, another progress update!

I wasn't really able to finish the next beta for My New Family 2 because of some real life things that happened. I don't want to go into too much detail but I was finally able to see my mother again after 15 years, which was a very good and emotional time. I'm more or less done with the script for the next beta though and making the renders won't take that long - I'm thinking about adding another NSFW animation for this one, with Sandra, since I feel like it's only appropiate the MC has some bonding time with his first wife. Sorry about the delay folks, but it will be like beta 2, if you were supporting for the month of April you're going to get access - just make sure to send me a DM once the beta is out and you'll get the links!

I made some decent progress on Chapter 4 though and I'm pretty happy with the content I already rendered. I kinda forgot how much I have written for Chapter 4 already so it's nice to just focus on renders, which is something I can do while listening to music or watching a stream ( I can't really do that while writing ). Still, I'm glad that so many of you are supportive and just happy that I'm finally working on Chapter 4 again, even with temporary chars. I think that was the biggest blockage for me last year, that I didn't want to recreate them just for the sake of continuing the story. But the great feedback on the looks of them made me rethink and now I'm pretty happy with how things are going!

And I think thats it for now, people. Sorry for the shorter progress update, a lot has been going on privately, in a good way for a change, I guess. If anything worth sharing comes up I'll let you guys know, like usual. Until then, stay awesome!

Its nice to see these 2 games come back from the dead but like so many others I keep thinking working on more than one game at a time is just a bad idea.
