I don't mind paying a small amount for a prequel. There is another option to release the prequel as a free game and attach a supporter pack for those who want to additionally support you with money.

Hey very good news brother. Might I suggest you get in contact with a creator named Oppaiman who also had a bit of problems when he started as a content creator, No where near the issues you have had to deal with. He now has a small web store to help promote Adult Content Creators get there names and patrons out there. He is the creator of the Fresh Women game series. I am very happy to hear that everything is going well with your court issues and I am looking forward to seeing your new content. I am more then happy to pay for your title once it is released.

Great news for you that things are now progressing! I too am happy to pay for the prequel, as I already own My New Memories, like most here! :)

I don't mind paying whatever you want for the Prequel. Tbh it even made me somehow sad that I had no way to support your projects :-D

Considering ideas/criticism in general: I'd only suggest to make more variety in genitalia. I don't know if this is on the effort level of colonizing Mars with hamster pirates since almost no AVN has variety in that aspect, but if it's not too much effort though, I'd highly appreciate a broader variety. Since it's so rare to see in games I'd even buy it as DLC content XD
For me this is actually a big part of immersion in any kind of game. The more characters differ physically, the more the game/story feels real and the more I can get attached to the characters. And well, since this is an AVN, the characters drop their clothing at some point and to see a generic genital asset with little to no difference between the characters heavily breaks the immersion for me.

I don't know how others see this topic, but I'd be really interested if there are people who feel the same about it or if I'm the only person bothered by this :-D

I am already looking forward to the Steam release of the beta.

Hey i would pay it too!

Good to hear your court case is moving a long. As for paying for the dlc i have no trouble
with paying for it knowing your the guy making it. Maybe if you and by extension "us" get the dlc say mid to late next month and you get your gear back things could be set for a sweet summer. Keep your chin up, life has a way of kicking you when your down it's if you stay down that matters.

Are you finished with the main game? Or is it going to continue after your wife wakes up?

You should charge something for this prequel for two important reasons. First, although it is a labor of love, it is still labor. Effort should be compensated.

Secondly, I'd like to tell a story about Penn and Teller, a comedy magic act. They used to do free college shows. The crowds were consistently awful. Then Penn insisted that the students pay one dollar to get in. The crowds instantly got better. I'll spare you the psychology behind it, but people appreciated the show more because they had to sacrifice something to get it. Even if it was a small price. So charge something, even if it isn't much. Your consumers will appreciate the show more.

That is nice to hear. It still sucks that they fled like cowards, but at least things are still moving forward.
Now I would like to warn you and apologize beforehand, I'm what you'd call a 'what if' guy.
The way my brain is wired, I'm always running scenarios of possible causes and outcomes (even when I don't want to), and I tend to analyze random details to death.

I'm not sure how you're planning around with ages, but you might want to go back in time less than 20yrs or so before. Otherwise it would put the "Present day" MC at around 40-43 years old, and his mother at around 60+ years old. Or going the other way, would put the MC as a genius for getting into university at around 15-16, and even then it would put the "Pres. Day" MC at around 35-37.

Story-wise I would say it's...doable to go that far back. Although it wouldn't really allow for planning of the MC and Anna to be doing much activity in Ch.4-onwards.
Then again, the concept of time for me (the planning of it), has been a bit wonky as of late.

AAaaand this is why I apologize ahead of time. Honestly I could keep going on forever, but I don't want to muddy the waters too much, on top of what you're already dealing with and thinking about.

Keep it up though, I would like to say at least the worst is over, but I don't know how things work over there. So instead I will say: "Stay strong and prosper."

Good to hear things are sounding more positive for you. You will have my money the day you release. Cheers!

I appreciate the update on the situation that you're in. I personally don't mind if you didn't tell us about it (it's not my place to ask unless i'm told about it). I'm glad things seem to be getting better for you.

As for the prequel, with what you've told us, I don't mind paying for the prequel especially if it helps your situation because I think My New Memories is a great game enough for me to want to pay. It's an amazing game. Whatever you decide, I for one will support it.

Thanks for the update! Hopefully the courts will take into account with you said about the prime suspect fleeing. Personally I would not mind paying for the prequel to help support its development. And hopefully the continuation of My New Memories (as its my favorite AVN). On a personal note, my father (USAF pilot) had a great saying about his experience flying F-4's in Vietnam that always stuck with me. "IIllegitimi non carborundum" (don't let the bastards get you down.) So, remember: don’t be discouraged!

You're going through a lot man, take it easy and don't be too hard on yourself!!! we're here to support you :) Also, I am always very interested to hear about how the case is going, the people responsible deserve karma.

Thanks for the update. Sounds like good news, so keep your head up. As for paying for the prequel: Of course you should charge for it and i will pay gladly for it. All work should be paid work and good work should be paid good money in my opinon.
