Good morning, all!
Every now and then there'll be one of those posts that are less exciting. Since my focus this week was mostly story and code, not a whole lot of exciting details to share. And a little bit of work done to the UI. I was testing a revision of how the timeline notification works and I started back in Chapter 1. Funny enough, I hadn't played Chapter 1 with my new contacts until this week when I was testing some code. And holy hell... All I have to say is thank you everyone for putting up with those early renders. Because I saw everything clearly now. From the occasional grainy renders to the dreaded black spots and everything in between, haha. But I'm continuously working on improving. Anywho, I brought that up because, with Chapter 4, you guys can expect the DataLeak backdrops to finally be updated to the current standard of renders.
Below is an example of what I'm referring to.
Also, another implementation is a notification system for when something is clickable nearby. I listen to all feedback, both praise and criticism. Back in CH2 a number of people were curious about Katy's scene if they chose to have sex with her and she denied a certain position. The only way to unlock that position was to pluck the rose just before you rang the doorbell when meeting her. So, after chatting with a few of you, I worked in a new notify system that is lore friendly. Since MC has his passion project, his LiDAR app. I figured it was a neat way to implement it into the game as a way to let you guys know there is something hidden nearby to grab. SDCards are excluded from this since those don't affect story or bonus scenes/shots. Here is an example of what it will look like when something is nearby. Also, you can toggle this feature off in the config.
Moving on to where I'm at with the story. I've already made a few revisions to parts of the script I've completed so far. There are still a number of scenes I still need to work on. I may switch up my workflow and start writing out the Halloween party this week, since there is a lot that will go on there. Lots of animations planned, amongst many other things. In regard to lewd scenes, this will be my first time working on a three-way. If I start now, I can tweak things as I move along with development.
Lastly, something I keep forgetting to share. Someone had asked a few weeks ago about the songs used in Artemis being available on any streaming services. So I hunted most the songs down on Spotify and created a playlist. I'll update this playlist as I release chapters. Also, the songs I chose for Artemis were the instrumental versions. However, only the versions with lyrics were available for most the tracks. Enjoy!

That's all for this week. I'll continue focusing on the script this week and or the Halloween event. Also, start prepping a few new locations for scenes written so far. Next week, I'll set aside writing and start working on scenes I've finalized for rendering.
Have a great week everyone and please be safe wherever you may be
