Hello there Steam people!
Damn, has it really been 2 months already? I thought it wasn't that long. You're probably getting tired of me excusing myself for not posting as much as I wanted. So I'm just going to skip that for now, but I hope you know that I'm really sorry for missing to answer your stuff!
Well, first, I was really happy to read all the feedback regarding Chapter II. I wasn't sure if many people would enjoy the direction the update is heading, but it looks like most of you were pretty happy. You made some great progress with Bethany and Yukiko and you even had a normal conversation with Jessica for once! Chapter III will continue this development, so you can be sure that everyone gets their fair share of love.
I also read your feedback regarding a character sheet and I can promise you that this one is coming - this year. I will upload this to steam as a "hot fix" update, so there won't be any special announcement for it. What this essentially will do is, you get the picture of a character in the menu ( while you are playing you can click on "Character sheets" ) and it will bring up another picture that tells you who this character is, what her relation to the MC is and a little bit about her personality ( including pet names ). I think this will help make sure that you don't forget the character names.
I know that some of you also had some problems with differentiating between Lena and Lina - Since those names sound almost the same when you speak them in their english variants. When I was giving them those names I was more thinking how we say those names in German - very different. So showing you who Lina is ( Pebbles ) and who Lena is ( sister in law ) in a small character sheet will hopefully clear that up. For now I plan to do this for all the girls - This includes women that you only met once for now, like the Doctor you visited with Morgan ( if you are on her transgender route ). So the character sheet will hopefully help with that.
Now, let's talk a bit about Chapter III. The ending of Chapter II was rather cryptic, but if you read between the lines you probably noticed that Sarah seems to play a key part in this. If you decided to listen to her story, of course, and if you haven't - well, I advise you to replay the game because Chapter III will be kinda weird if you don't. Up to you, of course. You finally found out who was behind the accident in Chapter II - Or at least, he claims to be behind it. Chapter III will play around this news even more, leading to a closure on this part of the story. I think I already mentioned this, but Chapter III will close the first arc of My New Memories. This won't be the last one, of course, so you don't have to worry that the game will end anytime soon. Quite the opposite, actually.
I've also experimented with different hairstyles for the girls. You can see them in this news post, I attached them below the Halloween render. They won't be a permanent thing and you will most likely only see them for 1 or 2 renders - Think of it like a moment where Sophie gets out of the shower or Lena gets ready for training - Since they have long hair, they can either leave it open ( in Sophies case, since she always wears her ponytail ) or they can put their hair in ponytails ( like Yukiko and Lena ). I will experiment some more with those, just adding very little variety into this. The original hairstyles will stay, so you don't have to worry about that part.
Chapter III will also lean more into the decisions you can make. Most of them will evolve around "Do I want this character to be more than just x?" or not. If you say no, nothing will change in your relationship with them, if you say yes you get some extra content that will explore this part some more. Think of it like Bethany...When you had that glass of wine with her. It will be very interesting how that one will play out...And then there is also Lina and others that might want to get more out of the relationship they already have with the MC...
So you will get the full package again. More lewds, more wholesome moments and the big finale for the first story arc. I will make sure that you guys will be like "Whoa...That just happened" at the end, with (hopefully) a big smile and excitement for the next Chapter. I'll leave this news with the renders now. Don't forget to share your feedback/concerns etc in the steam forum!
I want to end this post with a huge thank you for everyone that gave me feedback on Chapter II. It really means a lot to me to hear from you guys if you enjoyed something, just like if you didn't enjoy something. I'll do my best that the wait for Chapter III won't be as long. I will make sure to make it up to you guys! Keep in mind, if you buy the game once you will get all future updates and everything extra FOR FREE, even if it takes a little longer.
