Artemis DevLog - CH5
Happy Monday all!
This week was fairly short for me with the holidays and visiting family. Though I still managed to get some things done.
While away, I had some time to mess around. I tested Artemis on a laptop with a controller. Not sure how many of you play on a controller, but I actually enjoyed playing a VN on a controller. Some pain points I took note of were the menus. The Archives, DataLeaks and pretty much anything that's an interface had some issues using the D-Pad. I managed to fix the Archives>DataLeaks menus and will be applying those fixes to the other menus for easier navigation. For those who play on a controller, I coded it so you can use the "B" button to exit a menu. I will work through all the menus, including the phone. For SteamDeck owners, it should work the same.
The "Configuration" menu may get a revamp since that one was the most troublesome to navigate on a controller.
On the Steam build, I didn't work on it at all this week. But just took note of achievements. I don't plan on there being many for Book One. I'm pretty set on only being about 25-27 achievements. Two of them are freebies. One triggering when you sign the contract where you enter MC's name. Another one is kind of secret. But the rest you will have to do certain things to unlock the achievement. Though I tried not to make it too difficult.
SHIRTS! Guys, I know I've been saying this since Christmas last year. But I have the designs ready. I've just been stubborn on which distributor to go through. I want quality, meaning both the material and print are well-made. But this week, I'll be looking into a couple that I have bookmarked and just setup a shop and order a shirt to see for myself before announcing it to you guys.
The main shirt design is one I had commissioned for DJ Kink's "World Tour" shirt. Earlier this year, I asked you guys to drop a state/province/country and I'll add it to the back design. Just a fun way to include you guys. I will try to add as many as I can without the design looking cramped. You can check out my post about it here and add yourself if you wish to participate.

As far as Chapter 5 development goes. I started converting the outline to dialogue in the script last week. This week, I'm going to work more on the script and begin gathering the locations and other assets needed to start rendering scenes.
That wraps it up for this DevLog!
Have yourselves a great week!

Bless you. No idea why there's no Gofile link. The only decent one is MEGA but there's a 5GB cap. Can't find a torrent either.

EDIT: The artifacts I saw were only present in early game renders. Now that I'm farther into the game the images are much higher quality. No problem!
[Original post:]
Is it just me or are there what appear to be major compression artifacts in the images? I'm surprised that the quality isn't higher than what I'm seeing for a 10+ GB game.
I love this game and support it on Patreon, and story is more important than graphics for me — I don't intend to complain. I just want to confirm whether I'm playing the highest quality version available.

My bad, I was talking about the one that was posted here last week that I understand is just a 4.1 minor bug fix.
Just finished chapter 4. The music at the beginning of the Halloween party (after the heli) is "Digital Demons" by DJ Kink in game files (ch4.track41.mp3). Anyone knows if this was a commissioned piece for the game, or is it just something else re-labelled ? Cause it's really nice.

I know there's currently a few commissioned pieces, and considering he had to pull most of the Kink music from the first three chapters, it probably is.

Finally found some time to play Ch.4 and man what an amazing update both for story progression and relationship development. That imaginative scene where Cass being kicked out of the window is just too funny. My worry from Ch.3 was confirmed in this update: Koko would be the target of the Hunter team (mostly for Cass's sake), and the home invasion scene at the end already sounded the alarm for immediate confrontation in Ch.5 as the house security system was activated and the invader was thus locked in the living room. Ch.4 really did a fantastic job in establishing Cass as a complicated antagonist -- manipulative, cunning, would do everything possible to gain profit or save her own ass, other than someone who is just evil because why not. It just bugs me whether digi considers Cass as LI after Ch.4 though. Personally I don't feel like she "deserves" a redemption arc after all the shit she fucks over MC but seeing that you still could get points from her makes me wonder if her "route" is possible.
