Hello there you wonderful, cute and very wholesome people!

Another month, another week, another progress update!

As some of you may have noticed I was able to release the second beta for My New Memories: The Beginning yesterday. If you were a $15 or higher tier supporter in the month of May, but decided to stop supporting for June ( or it just ran out in May ), send me a message and I'll provide you with the links. My plan was to release it in May so if you were supporting in may, you will be able to play it! $5 and higher tier will be able to play on friday and Steam will follow as well!

This beta contains one rather unique event compared to what I did in any of my games, so if you get the chance to play it, please don't hesitate to share your feedback! Todays progress update render is Sabrina though, who has a talk with the MC before they all go to bed ( If you decided to pursue Lea you will of course sleep with both of them again ). During the day, Sabrina and Lea noticed something weird regarding Bethany and Katharina. They are very concerned since it seems like Bethany received some news that rather shook her up, compared to Katharina who apparently also received some news and who seems rather happy about it. This is all going to lead into something I will reveal at the end of this prequel Chapter, which will most likely surprise all of you. It took me quite some time to figure out how I can do this so it will make sense for the main game as well, I had so many different scenarios in my mind and I think I finally came up with one that makes the most sense. You'll see what I mean with the next Beta as well, since I will do what I always did, provide you with hints so that you will still be surprised at the end, but you can also say "Oh, I knew that."

While I added the final touches to the second Beta, I also put a lot of effort into the Main Game again. So you probably remember what happened with Bethany at the end of Chapter 3. I also mentioned that even though she said something different, deep inside her heart she probably wants to continue what her and the MC started. It's not easy for her though, and something from the prequel will play into this talk. You know how I write my MCs, he is never pushy but he stands firm with what he wants. Bethany tries to convince him that those feelings are wrong, but ends up stumbling upon her own words. With some encouragement that the MC got from Anna I think it's time for her to embrace fully what they started. What do you think?

And I feel like thats it for now. Lately, my mental health has not been that good again because My lawyer and I are still being ignored by the state attorney(s) of my city, it seems like. All requests have been unanswered and we feel like pressuring them with more will only lead to more silence. But we'll figure something out. It's been over 1 1/2 years already and while investigating data can take up to 2 years in Germany, I didn't have that much data to look through to begin with. I'll keep you guys posted on this. Until then, stay awesome, like usual! And don't forget to send me a message regarding the things I said above!
