Hello there you wonderful Steam people! I know it has been a while again since I talked to you guys but the main reason is that not that much has happened regarding my case. I'm still without the files I need to render My New Memories, but since we are approaching the six month mark now, I'm hopeful that things will eventually accelerate, especially since another case I'm involved in ( as a witness/victim ) is kinda intertwined with the one where the police decided to raid me. But I didn't make this post just to tell you guys that there is nothing going on. I read a lot of feedback and messages regarding my last post and I can now officially say that I started to work on My New Memories: The Beginning. I know the name might not be that unique but it's very fitting for what I want to do. I will post the Steam page this month and will make another post with it so you can wishlist the game. Like I said in my last post, the game will 100% be free. I'm still not sure on the supporter DLC, that is something I will consider once I'm getting closer to the release. The main game will be free though. But what is My New Memories: The beginning? Well, it's basically what the name says. It's the beginning of the My New Memories story, some time ( let's say, months ) before the MC reunites with Anna and starts his Family. You will play the MC during his first few months at college, so it's not going to be a day by day thing like the original game, there will be some "skips" between time. As Bethany ( mcs mother ) mentioned in the main game, the MC had girlfriends before Anna so this is the perfect opportunity to show a few of them. Actually, let me show you the girls you're going to meet in the prequel. Some of them will appear in the main game as well! The description of the girl is always UNDER the picture.
This is Rei. Rei is a Japanese Exchange student who is going to study Architecture, just like the MC. The MC and her get along right away, since he is helping her finding everything in the new environment. She is going to be one of the girls you are going to meet in the main game as well.
This is Lea. She is Sabrinas ( MC's twin sister ) best friend and lives basically next door of the family. She also goes to the same college as the MC and Sabrina, and both of them go into the fashion department regarding their studies. You will also meet her in the main game at some point in time.
This is Katharina, Lea's mother. Her and Bethany ( MC's mother ) are good friends as well and she frequently visits the family, especially when Lea is around. The MC has a little crush on her during his college time, as you can imagine. You will also meet her in the main game.
This is Amelie, another student you are going to meet at the college. You don't really have a prior relationship to her and the way you two meet is actually pretty funny. She studies music and has a pretty strong character, something she needs because she's pretty small in size!
And last but not least, this is Jackie. Jackie is actually a very good friend of the MC, but since she is going to study medicine, they won't have a lot of time to see each other anymore. Still, they try to do the best in this situation and you can see her as the best buddy of the MC. Those are the main girls you are going to talk to in the prequel. There will be more, of course, but these are the ones you will basically talk to every day. Sabrina and Bethany from the main game will also be present, even though they will look a little different ( younger, to be precise ). The prequel will still be an Adult Visual Novel, so you can expect lewd animations and general lewd scenes just like you saw them in the main game. But, just like in the main game, they are not the focus and the story is more important. The Prequel will give you a good idea on how the MC was before his accident ( or rather, how he always was before he lost his memories ) and it will help you understand everything that happens in Chapter 4 of the main game. I will have more info regarding the prequel very soon but I can tell you guys that it's going to be about the same size as Chapter 3 for the main game was. It will be a complete game that EVENTUALLY will get updated if it turns out that I will have to wait even longer for my files to return. This means that the game will "End", but that doesn't mean I won't be able to release FREE updates, like an extra chapter etc etc. I already made decent progress on writing so I'm confident I will be able to release it before the maintime of summer. It's not going to take half a year or something, I can promise you guys that. But yeah, the TL;DR Is that while I don't have news regarding my files, My New Memories: The beginning will happen. If you guys have any questions, feel free to ask them, I'll do my best to answer them. Until then, stay awesome!
