Most of the Issues Have Been Resolved
First of all, I want to apologize to everyone who may have felt anxious or concerned because of this situation.
I had never experienced something like this before, so I was honestly too careless when it came to security. This incident made me realize how easily hacking can happen and how serious it can be. I’ve reflected a lot on it, and from now on I’ll be much more careful to make sure something like this never happens again.
As for the current situation, I’ve successfully recovered both my Patreon and itch accounts.
For security reasons, the itch page is currently temporarily disabled. I contacted support to ask how long this will last, but I haven’t received a reply yet. Still, I believe it should eventually return to normal with time.
There are still a few remaining issues to resolve on Patreon’s side, but since I’m still waiting for a response regarding those, I think the best thing I can do for now is continue working on New Family while everything gets sorted out.
Also, all New Family v0.7.0 files have now been restored.
Once again, I sincerely apologize for everything that happened, and thank you all for your patience and support.

Why can't you upload the public version here? Are you refusing to answer that?
To be more specific, v0.7 was never originally planned to be a public release. I usually don’t publicly release the animation focused updates. For versions where I didn’t explicitly say ‘public release in 3 weeks’ on the itch page, I’ve always bundled them together with the next update instead. That’s been one of the benefits for my supporters, and I’ve handled it that way ever since I first uploaded the game about a year and a half ago. Originally, I had no plans to make this version public either. It’s just that I recently changed my mind, so I simply decided to upload a public version once the itch page is restored. That's it.
Where's the public version?
I’ve already contacted itch about restoring the account, and if everything gets recovered properly, the public version will be uploaded there.
Where's the public update man😭
When is 0.7.5 update?
Has the issues been resolved by now? I'm very concerned as it is absolutely the best game I have played, Hands Down.
when will the official release be?
New family
I'm always patiently waiting bro, excited for the new family game
When is update 0.7.0 public version?
It’ll be uploaded there once my itch page is restored.
Hackers are anxious because the new family updates are too slow
Is the restored version 0.7.0 safe? I'm still in doubt.
Yeah, the files that were originally uploaded here were safe from the beginning. After I got hacked, I still had access through my Google login for about 3 to 4 days, so I stayed quiet and avoided posting anything while pretending I had completely lost access to the account. During that time, I kept watching to see if the hacker would do anything suspicious, but they didn’t. The problem happened near the end when I tried to fully recover the account and the hacker realized it. That’s when my Google login session was finally terminated, and there was roughly an 8 hour window where I no longer had access. Because of that small possibility, I decided to remove the files just to be safe. The chance that the original files here contained malware is extremely low, but I wanted to eliminate even a 1% risk. I also understand that some people may still worry that this could somehow be the hacker pretending to be me, so I’ve shared my conversation with Patreon support and their replies in the chat as proof.
