Hello there Steam people! This will be a shorter post, so sorry for that in advance! Phew... It has been six week since the worst news I ever had to post in my life. And sadly, there is not really anything new to report for now. I talked to my lawyer a bunch of times but to quote him "Our hands are bound and we have to wait till law enforcement does their job, painfully slow". He still didn't get access to the case files either, but I hope there will be something for that coming up soon. My hopes are still that they check my external drives first ( where all my rendering assets are on ) so I can get them back sooner and start rendering again ( even if that means buying a new pc because I don't want to wait till they give me my hardware back ). But there are not only bad news, I guess. Since I can only write at the moment, I did just that and wrote a lot of dialogue and events for Chapter 4 already. I also started to use my laptop to make a few renders with Bethany and Sabrina again, just so that I don't lose "the feel" of making them in general, if that makes sense. The biggest issue for me at the moment is my mental health. I don't want to bore you with that and if you have no interest in reading about it, don't worry, just skip the next paragraph. Being raided by the cops traumatized me, I think. I wasn't really a person that likes to socialise in general, but getting woken up by cops drilling into your keyhole is certainly an experience I would not wish on anyone ( maybe the people that accused me of that shit, but karma will get them anyway ). Since then falling asleep has been super difficult for me, and focusing on work as well. I kinda lost my focus on everything in life because of that and I will most likely try to get professional help in the form of a therapy. PTSD is what my lawyer said, and while I always thought of something different regarding it... It might just be that. I kinda lost my view on police in general and instantly get panicked when I see a cop car near my apartment. It's just... Yeah. It's a lot. And I'm not writing this for pity or anything, I just want to try to explain why things are difficult for me at the moment. Okay, that was rather difficult to write but I had to get it out. I have a few things in mind to make the waiting a little easier for everyone. For example, I want to include a "Custom Gallery" with a few selected ( lewd ) renders of the game for you guys to enjoy. High quality versions ( 4K ) of my renders etc. I'm currently looking into a way to release them ( FREE OF COURSE ), so stay tuned for that. Over the 2 years I'm working on My New Memories I have quite a collection of super sexy renders with all the girls. I also want to update the Steam page and add new screenshots etc, but that is more for myself. And Lastly, there is another thing. If it turns out that the wait is gonna take longer than I expect it to take, I might temporarly disable the ability to buy the game on Steam. I will talk to Steam support if that is possible, but I don't want anyone to buy the game and then feel Scammed because the update might take longer. Chapter 3 released in May and my original plan was to release Chapter 4 in December. That is not going to work anymore. And the last thing I want is someone to regret buying the game. One more thing before I post the two renders of Bethany and Sabrina: My New Memories will always be a "Buy once, play all the updates forever free" game. Even when the game leaves early access I will keep releasing new chapters for free. I will never add paid dlc or anything like that, anything that I will add that will require a "DLC" on steam will be Free if you own the game. That is a promise I can easily give. And here are the two renders with Bethany and Sabrina
