Progress Update | 16/12/2024
🕑 Added 2024-12-16 18:43:42 +0000 UTCHello there you super cute and very wholesome people!
Another week, another progress update!
Let's jump right into the games again, shall we?
Well, I finished all the static renders for the prequel and now only have to do the animations with the first one already being done as well. It's a simple one, with Katharina ( if you decided to stay at her place ), but I decided to add a few more animations later on where I didn't announce it directly. I'm pretty confident I will be able to finish all of the animations this week which means the prequel can finally be released next week - I'm not sure on the day yet, but I will most likely aim to release it after Christmas just to not interrupt any festivities etc. I'm so happy I was able to reach this point, even though it took so so long. I'm really sorry about that by the way, like I explained in that post where I talk about the future, that's not how I usually am and I hope that once the first prequel release is out, I can more or less return to my usual release frequencies ( at least for the prequel / my new family 2, since I still need my stuff back for the main game ). I hope that the wait for the prequel was worth it in the end, but you can be the judge of that! Don't hesitate to share any feedback you have with me! Todays render is Bethany in the kitchen being very happy where the MC is heading...
I worked a little on My New Family 2 as well again, but it's more story concept stuff I write down. I enjoyed the "daily routine" you had in MNF, but I also think it got kinda stale to wake up and have that talk with Lucy. I kinda want to do what I did in MNM where you still have "morning stuff" before the day starts, but more different things. With the new girls being present I think it's an easy thing to do, especially since the MC has to take care of a lot of things ( but thankfully he has Sandy and the others to help him with that ). I want to create a cute household dynamic and you will probably see a lot of similarities to My New Memories, where the girls will know how to keep themself company more present as well. I think this will make the game more enjoyable in the long run. But I feel like I talked about this a few times already?
Speaking of My New Memories, with the prequel release being that close you will probably get a small lore drop in the end that you maybe expected. I kinda want to elaborate further on that in the main game without saying too much. Like I said, my goal was for everyone to enjoy the prequel and the main game independant from another, so that you can enjoy both of them the same way even if you never played the main game ( or prequel ). If you however played both, it will make the games more enjoyable for you in the end ( and if you decide to not play one of them anyway, that's still fine ). With the three gingers arriving I'm already having a pretty big cast of girls, but I kinda enjoy working with a household dynamic like that. I think it was more difficult in My New Family because there were too many "side girls" that never had the chance to fully shine ( exceptions like Sun or Melissa, of course ). With My New Memories, you will have way more main girls than side girls and since it's a big household, you will often spend time with them. I think this is why it's so important to me to show how much each and every girl in the household means to the MC, especially the three gingers from Mannies side. Funnily enough you'll know what I mean after he has his talk with Jessica, since she is one of the reasons this part of the household felt so neglected.
And I think that's it for now, people. If anything comes up ( like the appointment with my lawyer, hopefully ), I'll let you guys know as soon as possible. Until then, stay awesome, like usual!

More than anything, I want you to create your visions for us enthusiasts. Your longevity and number of subscribers prove you have what it takes to make incredible stories. Many, myself included, over the years, have shared what we hope the stories should include. It’s just noise. I hope you never tire of crafting VNs for us!!

Love your vision. Can't wait for the next update.

That's always super difficult with making these games, I think. Some people just love certain characters more than others do. For example, my personal favorite in MNF is Sandra but I can't make it all about her, just like Anna in MNM is my favorite. Now if one of the main girls is your favorite that's easier, since you will get a lot of time with her regardless. If your favorite is a side girl ( like Tanja in your case ) then it will be like "Okay, I had so much fun with the gingers but only got one day with Tanja, I'd love to have more with her". That's why I'm not a huge fan on the sidegirls anymore, I kinda want to put the focus on main girls. It will not be an easy task, that's for sure, but I hope I will pull off a decent enough job that someone doesn't skip all the content until they get something with their favorite girl.

It's just the first full public release, there will be more updates after that

When you say that it's the final update of the prequel what do you mean? Like will end the prequel or will start a new "arc"

I agree that was my favorite part in the whole story aswell

I think it will be quite difficult, simply because your going to have your favorites, and it would be really easy to give them more 'air' time than say the other girls, especially since there is going to be far more main girls in the household, each vying for the MC's attention. But as you say, your going to give more presence to those girls so they can act on their own without necessarily needing the MC all of the time. I like that idea actually, it gives a great dynamic between them all and the MC. I thought near the end of the MNF it did get stale somewhat. It was pretty much the exact same formula every morning with the Lucy talk. I really love Lucy, but there where other girls outside the 3 gingers that at least in my opinion should have had more time with the mc, especially some of the side girls. Tanya being one of them, I don't know, she kind of sort of disappeared after the MC decided to forgive her, if I remember correctly, he went on a few dates with her etc, but I honestly don't remember there being anything else with her. It all became about the strange story about reverse aging? and about the looming pregnancies and the huge marriage, which I fully understand why, but for me it all became a little too repetitive by the end (I still haven't really played the epilogue yet, I had to reinstall windows, and lost everything, thanks to my sister.), not to say I didn't like MNF it was my very first introduction to AVN's and I just loved the story. If it never even had sex in it, it would not have mattered to me, because I was there for story not naughty bits, but they where funny too. I played MNM and was utterly hooked, because it was clear you had done something completely different, the writing felt better if that makes sense, and also the introductions of the girls, and story interactions felt more or less real in a sense, the characters actually felt alive, like they could exist somewhere in the world, which sounds crazy right? hehe but that's how I felt and feel. Happy Christmas K7, take time out for yourself and enjoy it if you can, and have a wonderful and peaceful new year too!

Honestly, I loved the morning talks with Lucy (because she's the best girl, obviously :)), but understand it might not have been for everyone
