Hello there you wonderful and super cute people out in the world!

Another week, another progress update!

Let's jump right into the games. I have some more personal stuff to share this week, regarding the whole situation still going on and my way forward for now. The radio silence is definitely getting to me, though.

I worked some more on the prequel, basically finishing what I intend to be the first public release of the game, like I mentioned last week. The only big part that is missing right now are the animations - Which should not take too long to make, hopefully, and then some extra stuff I have planned going down the road. It's interesting to see for me where the prequel is going. Initially, I started it in the hopes that my situation would get resolved quicker and I just have something to release. I really underestimated how big of a mental toll this whole stuff would have on me, though. More on that later this week, though. Still, the prequel is shaping up to be a worthy "game" to play, in my opinion. I know it won't reach the impact that the main game got and that wasn't my intend, but I still have high hopes that the new characters you meet will be interesting enough for you to look forward to meeting them in the main game. Especially Charcters like Rei ( who is in todays progress update, just a cute render with her in a maid uniform ), who had such a big impact on the feelings of the MC during his uni days, will play a rather important role down the line in the main game. I still don't know how long the prequel will be, I just know that once I have that one crucial SSD back, I know how to end it in a proper way and then fully continue to work in the main game again.

Speaking of the main game, while I was suffering from a cold again I was still able to write some stuff for Chapter 4. I'm mainly adding small bits here and there, for example putting Yukiko in a transition scene before the MC goes and visit Jessica etc. I think Chapter 4 really is a passion project of me and given the fact that it has been so long since the last my new memories update, I really hope that the wait for it will be worth it. I said this a few times but Anna waking up is such a big thing to me personally and I absolutely feel like shit that my current situation happened right when I was about to work fully on Chapter 4. But I'm not letting you guys hang regarding that, I can promise you that much and the same goes for My New Family 2.

And I think that's it for now. A shorter progress update than usual, mainly because I'm battling a cold right now, but like I said earlier, I will give you guys a more personal post this week where I will talk about my plans for the next few months. You know that I always want to be as transparent as possible so I hope this will answer some questions. And of course, if anything happens, I'll let you guys know. Stay awesome!
