Good morning!
Another productive week. I'm glad you guys enjoyed the new main menu track. It's nice to have something that's yours to use freely. The whole track starts subtle and becomes more dramatic, which should set the tone of what the entirety of this story will be. And with the conclusion of Chapter 4, it'd be interesting to see what speculations would be on how the story will unfold for the remaining 12 chapters. So I am excited to get CH4 out the door as quickly as I'm able to. But also doing my best to not rush, which I admit Chapter 3 was rushed toward the end. And that introduced a number of bugs.
On the soundtrack front, it seems the latest provider allows music to be used in adult content. I still plan on using a source while I work on replacing the soundtrack with an original soundtrack from my composer. So this is great news because it means I don't have to work on creating the non-lewd version so soon. I can just focus on the lewd version first. You can still expect that version to be released. It was just stressful for me to have to wedge that version into my schedule sooner than later. But now I can put it aside while I focus on just the lewd version.
That said, both versions will have the same soundtrack when I get to the non-lewd version.
I also started to record my own foley sounds and it's nice to be able to record the exact sound I need for the situation. One of the sounds I was relieved to replace was the stupid bed sound whenever someone threw themselves onto a bed. The one originally used sounded like an old, worn-out mattress. The only thing I wish I had was a classic car from the 60s or 70s to get better sound variety from MC's car. I ordered some sound dampening foam to build a mic isolation shield for crisper sound capture.
Renders-wise, I'm at 1,432 story renders to date. I have about 20 scenes remaining to complete. Also, in regard to the shirts. I'm still waiting on the art from my artist. While I like her style, I won't be using them again for any future work. Their communication has been very poor. Since initiating the commission, I have only gotten two emails from them. They are still being planned but wanted to give an update on that as well for those waiting to hear about it.
Look forward to more previews this week!
Earlier last week I streamed setting up a scene, posing, etc., and rendered it. Streaming is something I rarely do since I try to focus more on development. But since I was working on customs last week, I wanted to share a random render. Below is the 1080 version. The 4k version (can't post here) is linked to this post.
Have a great week everyone!

I am fine with that. I prefer quality and this game has been very good in that department.

Just caught onto this one. Excellent game so far. I was honestly a bit put off by the start and was glad it quickly changed direction.
Across, the board I am really enjoying both the stories and the characters. Solid dialog and back stories for everyone. Kindra is amazing. In a way, I dislike her model a bit because it seems a pretty cut and dry model used in several games found here. Her personality though... Man, it's a shame that her model isn't quite there with her personality.
Aside from Kindra, most of the ladies are pretty cool. I think Zoe, Katy, and Paige are my second choices at the moment. Their models are more appealing to me than Kindra's and I really hope to see them in some additional scenes moving forward. Plus, the night the MC meets Zoe...
Anyway, I'm definitely looking forward to the next chapter.

i don't know if its a bug, but at the end of chapter 2 after the letter to mom the game restarted from the begining, had to close it, load a save, advance that part slowly then it started chapter 3.

Sheesh. 12 Chapters more? O_O
The wait between the updates is going to be hell if they keep getting better like the last ones. Keep up the great work. Love the Story and the Humor

Never really comment on here though I felt I should. Genuinely surprised by the quality of this game. It's fun to have characters that speak normally and I'm really digging the story of far.
Can't wait for the next update.

Sigh...another misuse of the term 'lightyear'.

Even if it is the incorrect use of, "lightyears" this is an actual saying.

_Artemis Development Log
Good morning!
I dabbled a bit on the rework of the BIO, mostly re-rendering the girls' portraits to match the quality of CH4. The example below showing off Zoe, also comparing her re-work softening up those harsh creases her old model had. And more importantly, recreating her smile to a more appealing one. So we can expect to see her back in scenes this chapter, on top of her hangout. Back on the subject of the BIO app, I had a number of feedback that the girls get cut off, so you were unable to see all of them. But I had only tested Artemis using a mouse and keyboard. Using a laptop touchpad or controller does make it difficult to select the other girls because it works best using the mouse wheel to scroll across the girls and select them. So thanks to the feedback, I'll be making changes so it's more of a grid style and not the scrollable menu. Keep up the feedback guys! I may not always be able to respond, but I do my best to read them all.
I also completed a new animation for the main menu. I'll be adjusting the main menu so the current main menu screen will be the default screen for Book 1. After completing Book 1 (Chapter 4), you will unlock the new main menu background that will be what you see throughout Book 2 until completing Chapter 8, then we'll see another main menu change, etc. Basically, there will be a new main menu background every four chapters. I'll also add a new option in the config/preferences so you can change the main menu in case you preferred one over another.
I also worked on a new set that hasn't been completed. All that remains is furnishing it and finalizing the lightning and it's ready for one of the scenes I'll be working on this week.
All in all a very productive week. Ch4 is now at 1689 story renders and two additional animations completed. 15 scenes remain to be completed for CH4.
Look forward to more previews this week!
Have a great rest of your week!
