VN - Ren'Py - Artemis [v0.6] [digi.B]

The best I have seen so far...

The story is well written, at least your portrayal of that story is presented in an easy to follow format.

The animations are good, bordering great. Just add a bit more "randomness" to the bodily motions, to make it more human.

The models are good, bordering on great. Just add some more variety, some slim, some thick, different body part sizes.

The scenes are all original i think, and look great. Transitions are smooth.

The sex isnt over done. This isnt a porn game, this is an adult story where what is seen is what you would see. Kudos, that isnt easy to balance.

The sound is great, and is setup perfectly to the story. I got teary eyes there at the end, before i realized you had successfully queued the sound to make me feel sad. Perfect.

The humor is great, had me laughing several times. The playing with emotions isnt over done, and fits the story well.

I am just really excited to see something of this obvious quality. I cant wait to see the next chapter. I am even considering looking them up on patreon and donating, which is huge considering i am disabled living on food stamps and HUD.

Congratulations... and thank you for sharing your work with the rest of us.

I'm giving this game 5 stars as of Chapter 1

Graphics: 5
Characters: 5
Plot: 5
Action: 4

Graphics: 5
It is clear the developer spends a lot time posing and giving the characters a personality. Which is nice to see. The models are nice and high quality as well as the scenes and backgrounds.

Characters: 5
The writing is top notch and the developer has a great sense of humor. All of the characters have depth and aren't just there for the sex. The main antagonist is a female character you meet instantly and other than her looks, she has no redeeming qualities...perfect for a antagonist. All the love interests have very different personalities, so you can pick and choose the one that suits your play style.

Plot: 5
As you start the game, you really aren't sure what the actual plot of the game is. The developer spends time building the characters and at the end of the first chapter you finally know what the plot is. Without giving anything away, I will say, that it seems to be a fairly original plot that isn't about getting laid, but revenge. Along the way, you meet the other characters and you help them, they help you. All in all, it was a refreshing story.

Action: 4
It's the first release of the game, so clearly there won't be too much action. You start the game out with a sex scene. Later, you do get to have sex with one love interest, if you play your cards right. And by default, you get a blow job. So there is some action, but this isn't an orgy like some other games.

Summary:
I think this developer has hit a jackpot with this game. It's got the graphics, humor, story and a great plot. You won't regret trying out this game.

[As of Ch 1]


The Good:
- Good Render
- Good Animations
- Girls are nice
- Story is intriguing and unique
- Funny dialogues

The Bad:
- The water on skin effects are bad (looks like some kind of skin disease)


Conclusion:
High Potential Game.
4.5/5.

Extremely enjoyable, fundamentally because the mc is not only very well written but has a really well balanced character. As others have said the line between pathos, humor, satire and self effacement is tiptoed perfectly. The adventures are quirky too which suits the personalities of the rest of the cast, especially Kindra who, for me, deserves a special mention.

Looking forward to the future with this one. It's a great VN and the Dev deserves every plaudit he is getting. Thanks a bunch digi.B. The pleasure's been all mine.

Honestly wasn't expecting much from this game. Simply downloaded it because I was bored. But the storyline was so good and I like the main character and the supporting characters. Normally I would skip a lot of things but this one is one of the games that I read through the conversations and plots. Good potential game here for me.

So far, it has been great! Nice breath of air when it comes to jokes and general story content. Seen a lot of copy and pastes before, this is something new!
Another plus, the MC is actually kind of relatable in a way. The self deprecating but trying to uplift others is great. Very likeable.

Kindra and Koko just feel right. Waiting to dive deeper into the background story of her. Looking forward to seeing more interactions between her and Cassandra as well.

Version reviewed: 0.1.2

This is by far the most genuine fun I've had reading through a VN in forever, because of its clever writing and the attention that has been given in bringing a cast of vibrant, expressive characters to life without going completely overboard with it. There's a lot of games on this site that try way too hard to be funny or quirky and fail miserably in their intent. I'm happy to report that Artemis isn't one of them. Of course when it comes to humor it's all about subjectivity, but personally I feel like the dev did an excellent job in drawing the line in this sense.

The story in and of itself is a bit all over the place, but it's serviceable, and more importantly doesn't take itself too seriously. What really shines here is the cast of characters, their well crafted and diverse personalities and their interactions. I realize that I'm hammering the point home here, but the fact is that this VN is just really fun to read, to the point where the whole porn side of it just feels like an added bonus to me. And not a poorly made one at that, I should probably mention for the whole "boobs first" crowd.

With this I'm pretty sure I paid Artemis the biggest compliment this kind of game could possibly get, so why the 4 stars? I could say that it's because I've had the non-compressed version of it crash on me multiple times for whatever reason, something that has never happened with any other game, not even with the biggest ones. But the truth is, I'm saving that fifth star for later. This is an outstanding start and I'm 100% strapped in for the ride. Best of luck to the dev.

This is some good shit. Good writing, good characters, good renders. Heavily recommended for anyone that enjoys a good time. All of the characters feel alive and he existing lewds are both visually great and fun to read

My very first post/review in this site...
Had to do it ,this is so good,even with no sex scenes i would be OK with it...
So well sript ,it should be a movie ,,,for real.
Everything so far is well balance .

Artemis is a seriously impressive effort right out of the gate with first release. Beautiful renders, gorgeous girls, a compelling story, and plenty of sexytimes. Bravo Digi.B! Just take my money already.

PROS:

+Exceptional characters and design. The characters feel alive. They are vibrant, have depth, moves and talks as if they are real people. Easily one of the best characters I've seen, not only in an adult game, but also in AAA games as well.
+Superb storytelling. The story is coherent and captivating. Despite the game being in its' early stage of version 0.1.2, the foundations of the story is well built. The story is very solid but at the same time still leaves cracks on which players could set upon intrigue and interest.
+Amazing soundtrack. There's a lot of music, sound effects, and ambiance, to really brighten up the game. There is not a single instance where i got disconnected from the story. It isn't obnoxious, it is pleasant; it won't annoy you, but will indulge you; it doesn't bore you. but does immerse you. Pair this with the exceptional characters, and you have an amazing combo.
+Adult Scenes are great. All scenes are animated! The animations, albeit sometimes feel a bit stiff (or in some cases where the tits are literally like jelly... soft ), are animated quite well.
+Gameplay is okay. It is your typical interactive Visual Novel game. You follow the developer(s)'s story and you're given choices. Although limited, you are given the choice to go on to different story paths.
+If you're looking for a well-deserved awaited wank, after investing time in story/characters playing, this game is for you

CONS:

-The characters are bombarded to you straight away. You're immediately given names of the characters left and right like you're suppose to already know them. I get that it feels more immersive that way because we are suppose to be the MC, but i only got to fully enjoy the experience on my 2nd play through when i knew who is who. A character sheet with visual aid (character's image) would be nice. Maybe an app on the phone, where once a character's name is mentioned... could be tracked and etc.
-If you're looking for a quick wank, this game isn't for you

I immediately fell in love with this game. The beautiful animations, the amazing story, and the captivating soundtrack. But what really made me love this game are the characters. They exhibit a lot of emotion and have distinguished personalities. They aren't just pawns of the plot and they aren't just place-holders, they have interests outside of the story line and are really well-rounded. They bounce off of other characters in unique ways with believable relationships and goals. Emotions, struggle, and development, they have it. I really feel that this game could stand on its own even if its not an Adult game without the sex and other stuff. I'm now a fan. Thank you Dev!

11/10 would get kicked in the balls just to prank Katy. MASTAPIECE!!!!!

Diverse set of interesting characters with diversity in types of "assets" as well. Engaging storyline (it's near future) with nice comic elements. Great Renders. Bulky first chapter with decent amount of scenes. Gameplay is simple & rightly placed. This is quite easily one of top 5 adult games I'm looking forward to. My only minor peeve were the shirts. By no means does that matter but they're drawn funny.

Already on the road to being an all time great. Haven't seen this big of a splash in a first chapter since Being a Dik. Can't wait to see where this goes! 100% a top game on this site with 0 exaggeration

I don't usually review, but this game forced my hand. The renders and animations are top-tier, and the story is nothing short of amazing. There was not a single point in this game where I felt lost or bored. The characters are also made extremely well as most of them are likable in their own way and very unique. This game has some serious potential and I can't wait for chapter 2.

Very entertaining as well as great animations for something in its first chapter. digi B does an amazing job at building the main characters so far to the point of formulating emotions when the antagonist appears. This project also has a decent amount of content for Ch. 1 making the game overall very satisfying so far

First time im taking the time to rate a game. Story iss breathtaking till the start! Dialogues are good and aniation very well done. Keep the good work ! If you need some help, im developer myself and my girl designer

What an awesome game. The story is awesome, the characters are really well developed and defined and even the music plays a great role in the ambience it sets.
If i have to point something out is some of the models are not to my liking, but that is up to the testes of each one. But is something irrelevant next to how great the experience is.
Really looking forward to see how this develops.

The story has flaws:

• How a guy who is super duper coder can have problems with finding a job in IT?
• How can the uni/college girls already be super duper middle/senior full-time developers?
• How can these girls accept the 25 y.o. guy, almost a complete stranger into their sorority after one favor so he can fool around with them? Not to mention the fact that MC finished his degree long time ago and why he needs this sorority at all...

BUT
It's a game. It's a fucking adult/porn visual novel so I can close my eyes on those.

Besides that, the game's pretty great. The story is enjoyable and rises some questions and struggles which make you empathize the MC. Also the game is so fucking big... I mean the first release was like 2 hours of gameplay and now we get another 2. Some completed VNs are way less than that.

Then we have animations. Not just 1-3 second loops, they are so fucking long... and smooth! Defintely one of the best I've seen yet.

I rated it with 2 starts when first played it but I admit that it's a AAA class game. 5 starts easily and one of the best in this genre.

This game really sets a new gold standard for visuals and scene design. Writing and story is also top notch. I was really pleasantly suprised how well fleshed out the characters are and worn out idea from the stranded lonely wolf male protagonist was freshened by the idea what female company he got himself into when looking for a new job. Also I like the fact that I am for one time playing some good looking young male stud with a decent normal dick and not some kid with a 14inch horsecock. Looking forward to future updates, really.

A thoroughly enjoyable VN with stunning graphics, beautiful girls and engaging gameplay - I'm really looking forward to seeing where this story goes!!

The sci-fi setting is awesome and the tech angle has the potential to really develop something original.
