Like the title says, the Steam page for My New Memories: The Beginning is now available for wishlisting! It also has a trailer, but if you don't want to watch it on Steam, I'll embed it below as well! Wishlisting helps me out a lot so if you could do that, I would be very grateful!

Okay, now that this is out of the way, I want to address a few things that came up again recently.

Some of you made their frustration very clear with the current situation and trust me on this, no one is as frustrated about it as I am. My New Memories and it's characters are more than just my creations, ever since I released the game in June 2021, it has become an integral part of my life. I poured a lot of emotions into this game, writing things that truly moved me ( some of them were even self inserts from my life ), so the fact that I can't fully work on it at the moment is reaching a point where I feel physical pain from it, not to mention the mental distress that it has been over a year since the last update...

I truly have a connection to the characters I made, especially with how Chapter 3 ended and Anna waking up. I think if I had to make a list which Characters I miss the most it's Anna, followed by Yukiko Lina and Sarah. Writing events with these last three helped me through tough times because I was able to make them funny, wholesome and emotional at the same time.

But I want to make one thing clear. I'm not making this up. The things that are happening to me right now are true. The first court case is over and four of the five culprits got sentenced - Three of them to long jailtimes. The last culprit is still in thailand, hiding like a fucking coward and trying to escape justice. But I know that with time, things will turn out better again. It's not that I'm optimistic or anything, but that is the only thing that is keeping me going at the moment: The chance that I'm able to get my characters back and fully work on My New Memories again.

The prequel has become more than just a "distraction" but I don't think it will reach a part of my life and heart that My New Memories did, sadly. The work on it helps a lot with not fully succumbing to the despair I'm feeling, because I feel motivated and the feedback I got so far pushed me forward even more. There is a good chance I'm going to release a demo for it as well, so you can check the game out for free before you decide if it's worth it to even play. The price will be $4.99, which is way below the average Adult Visual Novels on Steam as well. I think I said this a few times, I'm not working on these games to make money or get rich. These games have been part of my life for almost five years now and they helped me through the darkest times I ever had to experience. I was unemployed for almost ten years and these games gave me a purpose again, as sad as it sounds.

Still, if you feel like I scammed you or you don't believe me, reach out to me on Twitter or Discord ( username is Killer7 ) and I will figure something out to compensate you if you are over the Steam refund limit. I will always be transparent and do my best to keep you guys posted. At the moment, there is nothing new to report, sadly.

Hello there Steam people!

Can't believe it has been such a long time again...But a lot has happened recently and while some news are good, others are kinda neutral. No bad news so far though, so I guess that is good, right?

First, the Steam page for the prequel is currently being checked by valve. The weekend is inbetween, so I expect that it will be approved tomorrow ( Monday, the 27th ). Then you will be able to wishlist the game and get all the info you need. I also put a little #faq there where I explain why the prequel exists and what my plans going forward.

So the good news is that the court case where I was the victim is done now. The four culprits that are there ( since the main culprit fled to thailand ) got sentenced to quite decently long jail times - The highest was six years and ten months. The chances that the main culprit decides to come back to Germany on his own are basically zero now, but according to the german press there is a chance that interpol might get involved ( not just because of the case where I'm the victim, the dude did horrible things before that ).

The more neutral news is that there are still no real news regarding my confiscated equipment. There are some things that I learned that I'm not allowed to share publicly yet, mainly because it involves the case files that I only am supposed to talk about with my lawyer. One thing I can say is though that yes, this game will also be reviewed by the german law enforcement. Since the game is super public and available on Steam and in the normal internet in general, I have zero doubts that this will end positively for me, though. I have all the rights on my side. But I might have to rally some of you amazing people to speak out your support for this game if it comes to that.

Now before I talk about Chapter 4, I want to address a few things that have happened recently. I know that I should not pay attention to these people but I feel like just letting their comments stand in the room without saying anything to is is also wrong. No, I'm not working on the prequel for a quick cash grab. No, I'm not working on the prequel because I lost my character files or anything like that. No, I'm not working on the prequel because I have no idea where to go with the Story etc, quite the opposite actually. The only reason I even started to work on the prequel is so I can keep improving my rendering and writing skills. I could have made a completely new game with a different name etc, but I'm always trying to be as transparent as possible, even if it means telling you people about details that are rather private. Trust me on this, though. There is not a single person out in this world that is more angry about the fact I can't work on the main game right now than me.

Okay, now let's talk a little about Chapter 4. Obviously my work is more on the prequel right now, but while the images for that are rendering I always find the time to continue work on Chapter 4. With Anna being awake my brain is basically flooded with new events and things I want to do in the game. Not only that, the addition with Karla, Caroline and Emily opened up so many possibilities for me. The hot step mom, the cute half sisters...The options are pretty big. Then there is the situation with Sarah that needs addressing, Jessica who went missing because of anger the MC is not at fault for. My mind is still there, even though I'm going through some horrible shit right now, but my creativity never has been stronger, I feel like.

And a big part of that is also the fact that I'm working on the prequel. The girls you meet there ( I decided that all of them will appear in the main game at some point ) can be integrated so well into the main story. A lot of the things the MC experienced regarding his work life can also be explained with things that happened in the prequel. The fact that I can tie them together this well and that people who never played the main game will still have fun with the prequel makes me happy. This and the fact that so many of you amazing people have my back are the things that keep me sane. Because I was in a very dark place again around two weeks ago, when I had a call with my lawyer. Now thinks are looking better again and I'm never going to give up.

To end this very long post I'll give you guys a few more teasers from the prequel. As soon as the prequel page is live I will make another announcement, like I said. There is also going to be a trailer. Sorry about the delay on this, I completely forgot how much you have to do to set up a Steam page.

Hello there you amazing Steam people!

It has been over a month already since I shared what's going on with you so I feel like now is a good time for an update. I will start with some personal stuff which has been happening these last few weeks and then I'll update you on the current status of the game and the concrete plans for the prequel going forward.

Last week I had my hearing as witness/side plantiff regarding a case that lead to one of the suspects ( the main suspect, actually ) to frame me to the german Police which ultimately lead to them confiscating all my hardware and harddrives. Now here comes the interesting part: The Main witness fled to thailand. I'm not joking and this is not a prank, one day before the court case was opened ( 19th March ) he messaged the court and told them he fled to thailand - Because he is afraid to testify in court because of his friends. Him and his friends mugged and robbed me back in August 2023 which led, like I said above, to this guy accusing me of horrible things and using faked evidence ( my lawyer tried to explain so many times that everyone can fake WhatsApp or Telegram chats ). Since all but one suspect were released again ( after they got arrested by the SEK, which is like the german version of the S.W.A.T. ), it was apparently pretty easy for him to flee. He now has an international arrest warrant open and while my lawyer thinks he will eventually come back, I doubt it. Anyway, this doesn't matter too much since his four friends were still there when I had to testify. This was probably the second hardest day of my life ( only getting beat by being raided by the cops ), but I'm glad this part is "over" now. The fact that the main suspect ( and main accuser in the case against me ) fled to thailand is positive, though, which hopefully the state attorney will also see eventually. The end of the current court case is set to the end of may - It could be earlier ( or later ) as well, though. Since the main suspect is not here it should be faster, though. Fingers crossed for that at least. The questioning in court lasted around 2 1/2 hours and the judge, state attorney and most of the lawyers were okay as well ( just 2 exceptions for the lawyers who asked questions where even the judge rolled with her eyes ).

Okay, that was a lot of stuff that didn't have anything to do with the game, but I feel like you guys still deserve to know what's going on and why I'm sometimes more "silent" for a longer period of time.

While I was silent I was working a lot, though. Not only on Chapter 4 but also on My New Memories: The Beginning, which is going to be the prequel for My New Memories.

If you are not familiar with why I'm making a prequel, it's basically to "kill time" and keep my rendering skills fresh while also doing something for My New Memories. The prequel will play around 20 years before the main game, before the MC and Anna reuinited and will feature Sabrina and Bethany from the main game.

So, the prequel. I made great progress on it and the first day is already fully playable. I read through all of your comments that said I should not make it free and just ask a small price for it - Which is probably what I will have to end up doing anyway. My initial plan was to make the prequel free so people can get a intro and then maybe decide to buy the main game. But with upcoming legal fees and other things, I might have to ask for a small price for it, like 3.99 or 4.99. I'm not 100% sure on this yet and this is still all subject to change, I will probably know for a fact once I'm getting closer to the release of it - Which should be sooner than later! I hope this is okay for you guys and if you have any thoughts about this, feel free to share them here in the comments or in the discussion section of the main game. As soon as I have the Steam page up I will also explain there why I'm making a prequel and why I can't work on the main game right now. Wishlisting helps a lot so I'll let you guys know as soon as I have something to show!

I already showed you the girls of the prequel and explained what it will be mostly about. While the MC and Anna are soulmates in the main game, the MC still gathered some experience before him and Anna became a couple again. Anna had all her first times with the MC, but the MC already got some experience with other girls before that. And not only that, he was also introduced to some rather...Interesting kinks with them. The only thing I changed from my previous news post is that the game won't play in college but in a university now. I know that there is not a big difference if you are from the USA, but this will make it 100% certain for steam staff that the game only features adult characters, not high schoolers or anything like that. You will get to experience the backstory of five girls you will eventually meet in the main game as well - From Sabrinas best friend, Lea, the ginger beauty and her very sexy mother to Jackie, MCs best friend, Rei, a very pretty girl from Japan that will have a big reveal in the end and Amelie, a girl you will meet in the university who didn't have an easy life ( I know, I like to make characters like that ).

Like I said above, the first day is already fully playable and will introduce all the characters to you. You will also hear more about Anna which can be interesting for people that already know the main game. I did my best to make sure that even if you never played My New Memories before, you will still get engrossed in the story. At least I hope I did, you guys will be the judge for that.

Okay, enough of the prequel, I of course also worked on Chapter 4 of the main game. With me not being able to really make any renders it's kinda difficult to write as much for it right now, but I made some very good progress. I'd say I have around half the length of Chapter 3 content written already with myself reworking and redoing some scenes already. For example, I had a lewd scene planned for the beginning with a different woman that I ended up changing to another. So you still get a lewd scene, it will just be with a different woman, which means it will actually be even better ( and funnier ). As soon as I have my assets back the release should not take longer than 2 or 3 weeks. I will let you guys know as soon as possible.

To end this very long post I'll give you guys some screenshots from the prequel which will also be featured on the Steam Page for it. The Steam Page should go live next week, if all things go according to plan. Please share any feedback, critcism or whatever is in your mind in the comments or in the steam forums. Positive, negative, neutral, feel free to post about it, especially regarding the price thing for the prequel!

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 prequel itself will be free though with no cut content.

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!

Hello there Steam people!

The last update has not been that long ago, but these last ~2 weeks I have been gathering my thoughts, reading your comments and of course, I've been in contact with my lawyer. He send the request regarding the files to the state attorney and that was basically the last thing we could do. I read a few of your suggestions and messages regarding this, but I feel like I have to explain how it works here in Germany. The process is simple and yet super annoying. In my case, they confiscated all my hardware ( they mainly wanted my harddrives, but they just take your whole pc ). The next step is to make mirror images of all of my harddrives - This process apparently can take them up to six months to even start ( which looks like to be the case for me right now ). Once they mirrored the harddrives they will basically put everything away again - they don't care about the harddrives anymore and will start working on the mirrorred drives. They basically never touch your hardware again after that. This is the moment where it can take days, weeks or even months until they have looked through all the data for incriminating content. In the middle of February it will be 5 months - so if the current estimate for this shit is true, then it will take another month until my drives are mirrorred. There is NOTHING my lawyer ( or any lawyer in the world ) can do to accelerate this. Yes, the german law enforcement can basically confiscate all your stuff and then take their sweet ass time to look through the data. If you look through the internet it's full of people that were/are affected by this here. Law enforcement is extremely slow and while they can listen to requests your lawyer makes, they can also just decide to ignore them and work how they want. It's annoying, it's unfair and it's basically destroying my life right now. Getting a new lawyer would not change this.

But I feel like that's enough bad news regarding this case. The last thing I want is to just wait, twist my thumbs and hope everything works out. I know it will eventually work out and I know I will eventually get all the data back that I need ( I don't care about the hardware, I just care about those files ), but this process can take time. And I don't want to do nothing in that time. I'm not going on a vacation or anything. I want to work and I want to provide content for other people to enjoy.

I read a few suggestions here that said I should just start a new project. Tell a different story. And while that is always an option, there were also a few that suggested another Chapter for My New Memories. One that plays in the past. And... That is exactly what I will do. I will work on a prequel for My New Memories that will tell a story about the time before the MC met Anna again, during his college years. Since the game never specified when exactly him and Anna met again during college, I can work with this ( especially since Bethany, mcs mother, mentioned that he had girlfriends before he met Anna ).

The plan is that this prequel will also have the My New Memories title since it will feature the same MC and since I have the files for Bethany and Sabrina, I can also show them in the story ( at a younger age, of course ). I thought that this was a really good idea in general because of the amnesia happening in the main game. I know that the MC gets his memories back in Chapter 3, but there is still so much he experienced that I can't really show in the main game. That's when the prequel will come into effect. I can show how the MC acted at a younger age, how he talked to girls and how he got girlfriends before he found the love of his life again. This also means that I can work on something again, that I can keep rendering and improving my skills with telling a nice backstory for you to enjoy. And with the prequel it could mean that you might end up enjoying Chapter 4 even more once I can work on it again, since you will know so much more about the MC.

This prequel will be here on Steam and it will be 100% free. I was thinking about adding a supporter DLC that you can buy if you really want, but I'm not set on this yet. The main game will be free though, no matter what. I think I said this a few times but money was never something I had in mind when working on my games. I always wanted to provide a wholesome, funny and emotional experience, nothing else. I appreciate all of you amazing people that want to support me but really, playing the game and leaving a review ( be it positive or negative ) is already amazing support, especially for the prequel.

I will have more infos regarding the prequel on the weekend, where I will also show you the characters you will meet in there. The plan for the prequel is to be a full game at the end, with the size of one My New Memories Chapter ( take Chapter 3 playtime as an example ). That's why the roster will be smaller ( 5 girls ), but the fun and emotions will probably be the same. I hope I will be able to tell a story like that, it's the first time I work with a "College Theme", even though college won't really be the main topic of this prequel.

Hello there Steam people!

It has been a little over a month since the last news already and I hope you guys had an amazing start into the year 2024. There hasn't been any progress updates lately because... Well, there is not really a lot of progress happening. On the 15th of december, my lawyer send another letter to the state attorney, requesting to at least get the one crucial SSD back that I need. Sadly, the state attorney didn't respond yet and yesterday, my lawyer send me an email stating that chances are high they won't respond to these kind of requests anymore. He proposed a different idea to me, that I should make a list with files that I need and that he will make a request to hand out copies of those files.

This might be a higher chance than getting the SSD back before anything, because apparently it can take up to 6 months to just mirror the harddrives here. That doesn't include checking them for any incriminating content, which can take up to 6 months again. We are now 4 months into my equipment being seized and while I was able to get a new computer ( because I had high hopes that this month would be the month I at least get one of my ssds back that literally only contain my render files ), it doesn't change the fact that I'm still heavily crippled regarding work on My New Memories.

The files I send to my lawyer for request basically contain all characters. I also had to put an explanation into the email what these files are, what you need to open them and what exactly you see in those files once they are opened in the rendering program, DAZ3D. This is all so the law enforcement worker knows what he's dealing with and can check those files manually to make sure they dont contain anything illegal ( and it saves them time researching themselves how to open a .duf file ). I also suggested they put a link to the steam page and steam TOS into the request so they can be assured that the game doesn't contain anything that is against their Terms of Service etc.

This is all... A lot to take in personally. Being robbed of the one thing in my life that fullfilled me with joy ( working on this game ) is becoming harder and harder to bear. I don't want people to support me if I can't work on the game as I should. I don't want people to buy the game if I can't continue the story in an appropiate timeframe. I know that a lot of devs out there wouldn't care since they can just use this time for vacation, relaxing, while still taking peoples money ( especially on patreon, which I also use ). But I don't want that. I'm currently looking if I can pause the ability for the game to be bought on Steam starting in february and will only reactivate it once I received those files or my assets in general back. I will do the same on other platforms where people can support me. Don't worry, I can live of money I saved for a bit and I will also be able to pay my eventual legal fees once it comes to that point in time. I only had to pay my lawyer once in advance and the rest will be paid once this whole case is over - Which will then hopefully be when I'm fully back on working on the game again.

I'm gonna be honest people, I'm trying my best to stay positive but things are looking pretty bad for me, at least in my head. I know that patience is the key to this shit, especially since I personally can't change anything about it right now, but the possibility that this is going to take what... maybe 8 more months? Is killing me. I have a plan B which means I will try to recreate these characters as good as I can, but that is the absolute last resort I want to fall back to. It would feel awful to do this and it would probably break my heart and kill all the motivation I have left to work on My New Memories, because I know the real characters are still out there...But I should stop thinking in that direction. I'm putting all my hopes and efforts into this request my lawyer is making because there are cases out there where people got copies of the requested files. It was mainly for stuff like tax evasion, where they seized computers and the company needed those essential files to work on their stuff again. So fingers crossed this will work for me as well.

Still, I want to thank all of you people for your amazing support and positive comments I got under my last post. I'm always trying to be as transparent as possible and I can guarantee you that I'm not trying to fish for sympathy or anything. I just want to keep you guys updated on whatever is happening and since there is not that much to share, I usually resort to... Well, not saying anything. I will try to make these updates at least monthly, even when there arent really news.

I of course still continue to work on the story of Chapter 4 and I'd say I'm about 1/3th done with the full script. So It's not like I'm not doing anything, but writing is currently the only thing I can do. I expect that the script will be fully done this month and then... Well, you know what I will do in february. After that it's just a very painful waiting game, I guess. In the meantime, have a render of Bethany!

Hello there Steam people!

It has been a while again and I'm finally able to return with some news.

If you don't know what's going on, the very very short tl;dr is that my rendering equipment ( that contains all the character files that I can't recreate ) has been seized by the police and is currently being investigated because I'm getting framed for a crime I didn't commit ( crypto scam ).

I had a very long talk with my lawyer on monday, since he has access to the case file now, and from everything we could read there, it's looking good for me. The only "bad" thing is that this is going to take a bit. We don't know an estimate, since all the cases differe regarding that, but I basically adviced him to write to the state attorney every week and ask him if I can get two of my crucial external ssds ( that contain all my rendering data ) back, as I can't work without them. That is sadly all we can do, keep pondering them and then waiting till they respond. I will get my stuff back eventually, and there is a good chance that I can get those ssds back sooner, but it all depends on how their investigations go. I don't think the law enforcement system here has a lot of knowledge regarding 3d rendering and making an Adult Game in general, so that is something we might have to explain to a judge/state attorney as well, if they have questions regarding that. But the TL;DR is that things are looking good in my case and that it's, like I said, just a matter of time. It can be days, it can be weeks but sadly, it can also be months. Rest assured though that as soon as I get a notification that I can get my SSDS back, Chapter 4 release will be extremely fast ( since I'm already writing a lot of stuff ahead ).

I also want to answer a few comments and messages I received lately, mainly that I'm a scammer and don't care about Steam and you amazing people that bought the game. Those allegations are completely false, I deeply care for the Steam community and having a game on this platform was a dream I had for a very, very long time. I had quite a lot of success on steam and while the sales have drastically slowed down ( as expected with these games ), I never did this for the money. My game is below the average price of AVNS and even when I leave early access, all future updates and possible DLCS will ALWAYS BE FREE. If you buy the game you get the complete game, no matter how big the updates will be, I will never charge you again. I know that the long waiting, especially after the very exciting ending of chapter 3, is annoying and trust me, there is not a single person in the world that is currently more annoyed ( and actually emotionally hurt ) because of the current situation than me. Working on My New Memories has become my life, creating these stories filled me with joy that I never experienced before. Not being able to make renders with my favorite characters is actually affecting me emotionally to the point where I sometimes break down. Is that healthy? Probably not. Why do I tell you this? Because I want you to understand that I love my games and I love the Steam community.

There is not a community I care more or less for, it doesn't matter if it's on my Discord or other social media platforms. Yes, I use Patreon, but I started my Patreon page for my first game back in 2019, before My New Memories was even a thing. That game is completed now and the plan was to fully focus on My New Memories, but you know what happened then. Being at a crossroad like this basically destroyed all the planning I had and while it is "only" on hold for now ( until I get my stuff back ), it still is an emotional rollercoaster. I fully and one hundred percent understand if people either here or on other platforms don't want to support me anymore - and I know that this is more difficult on steam, since you already paid for the game. There is no "But" here, if I'm not able to work on my game and provide you with promised updates, you have all the right in the world to be angry and disappointed. But please don't accuse me of not caring about Steam just because of other platforms - Because that is simply no true. It is out of my hand at the moment and I'm doing everything I can to get back on track. Hell, I moved to a new apartment in the hopes to start a better life and then I get raided by the cops at 7:20 am because of very thin evidence ( a photo of a screenshot of an unknown phone etc ) that even my lawyer is wondering why the hell they do all this stuff to me.

What I want to say is that I'm not a scammer. I'm not simply taking your money and running away. Releasing updates and then reading your comments is a feeling I can't describe, especially after Chapter 3. I love to read your feedback, be it positive or negative. The only thing I dislike and that I will not tolerate are personal attacks, and there have been quite a few lately. I usually try to respond in a normal way to them and encourage these people to play something else - but sometimes it gets too much and I have to hand out community bans. But if there is something you don't like about me or my game, feel free to share it. I can only get better with constructive criticism. I might not agree with your personal point of view ( for example, that you dont like how a character looks ) but it's good to know what you think - in a civil way. Telling me that my game sucks and I should *** myself ( self censored ) is not something I like to read - Or even worse, telling me that you want to *** me. I'm just an average dude from Germany that is still very new to this whole game developer thing. This stuff has become my Job in 2021 and I'm still learning. All I can do is make the renders and write a hopefully, emotional and wholesome Story. That is not an excuse by the way, just trying to elobarate why I suck at certain things, I guess ( especially staying in contact with you people ).

One last thing: Some people have suggested that I just start completely new with new models etc. Or that I try to recreate the models I made. While the latter is an option I would keep in mind if there is zero chance I get my data back, it is something I will probably not do. But since I will get my stuff back, it will just take an unknown amount of time, I'm not going to recreate the characters or "Start again" etc. I know waiting sucks, but waiting is way better than the alternatives.

I think that's it for the moment. I will attach a few more renders I made with the two characters I have, Bethany and Sabrina, and like I said in the other updates, as soon as I will get anything back, you guys will be the first to know it. To be honest, I already have an announcement like that prepared for the moment it happens, so I can just be as fast with it...

Hey there Steam people!

I have more news regarding my situation coming early next week, but since we have the Steam Autumn sale right now, you can get My New Memories for -25% !

While the next update might still take a while ( depending on how my situation changes ), you can buy the game now and enjoy the first story arc, which already has plenty of story for you to discover! I have planned a lot of chapters coming in the future and each one will contain more lewds but also more cute and wholesome moments! If you like harem games with minimal drama, then this is the best moment to grab one! And remember: Every future chapter will be free! There will never be any paid dlcs or something like that for the game!

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
