Good morning, everyone! Very happy to say that I was able to decorate the INK's Halloween venue fully. Still need to create art for the banners that overhang the mansion, but I'll be working on those as I get inspired. The biggest thing was to get all the props and lighting just right. Additionally, I created all the costumes for all guests attending. Not including the main cast, there are a total of 42 guests I've created costumes for. I also did some test renders with all these characters and things seem stable. Very glad this chunk of setup is behind me and can mark this as done. Allowing me to focus on the other parts of Chapter 4 to be staged. I also started going through tracks and have already created the playlist for the party itself.
As for the poll: Paige was the clear winner. Tallying all the bonus points, she still took this one which is great to see. Seeing how she barely had votes in CH2 poll. It's great seeing things change as we are either more intrigued by or enjoy the character. Makes me really curious who will be next. While I have general outlines for each chapter, things do change. Sometimes I end up omitting scenes, shifting character interactions around, etc. So, I like doing these so we can reel in favorites that didn't originally have content planned for a chapter.
I also pushed the latest patch. Version 0.3.2 - links were updated in the release post. I ended up finding a couple of bugs that were easily missed. For example, changing your name via the phone.
It updates your name, but not the full name variable. I only found it because I changed my name just after the contract signing to see how things went and discovered it at the INK house. Zoe's scene was restored and finally some control over the audio channels for music, ambiance, and sound effects. Also a funny typo. I corrected the wording when Naomi says that "Highest score buys food" when it should have read "Lowest score buys food". Forgive me, haha...
Lastly for this log. It's been a wild year. March 23rd 2021 is when I released the first chapter for Artemis. In a few weeks, it'll be one year since then and you guys have been just the greatest. Being able to express myself creatively.
Something I've always wanted to do, but never had it in me to do up until last year. I truly appreciate all your enthusiasm and support. Something I've been chipping away at is working out the kinks (unavoidable pun) of 3D printing. Once I'm able to get a nice clean print, I'll be setting this up to give away to you guys as a thank you for making Artemis' first year such a great year.

And once I'm able to print this out perfectly, I hope to eventually print this. Which also will be given away to you guys. (Koko might be omitted, but really trying to get the fur to be a solid).
My focus this week is to continue working on the script. Working on coding the Halloween event and preparing the characters for their scenes.
Have yourselves a wonderful week!
