Good Monday to everyone,

been a busy morning. Spent most of it tweaking the new NAS and setting things up. It's now up and running with plenty of storage to shield Artemis from data issues (knocks wood).

Also, thanks for the feedback regarding future projects. Storytelling I've always enjoyed. I hadn't written anything in 10 years before Artemis. So getting back into the groove has just been great for me. And the whole point of bringing it up to discuss was just to give me food for thought. Artemis was planned out in maybe 6ish months I believe, but I also loosely adapted it from a sci-fi script I wrote years ago. For my next project, which would come after Artemis, I would like to start building little by little now so I have something more refined than Artemis' beginnings. What project that would be, I have not decided and probably won't for a while. But I've got plenty of ideas to build on already.

Anywho, this week I was addressing several parts of development. Quick update for Steam. Just a few tweaks for the implementation of the achievements and should have a version for the Beta Team to test soon. To delegate work so I can continue to stay focused on CH5 without deviating too much to work on other areas Artemis related. I'm working with someone to take care of it. They've been given the short script and I just need to supply the renders and a few short poses since this is a trailer that plays out more like a short scene. So I look forward to sharing that when it is completed.

Additionally, I spent a few hours discussing the crossover that will be built on throughout the chapters in Book Two. Great ideas were brainstormed and we're looking forward to when we'll be able to share the experience with you all. With both our stories.

I had a question was brought up regarding 3D printing, which I had discussed doing a while back. A refresher; I had got a 3D printer and wanted to 3D print figurines of Artemis characters as well as print out DJ Kink's visor. I did some test prints and the fumes the resin emitted were just unbearable, even with the thing sitting out in the garage. I have a respirator, but the odor lingered for almost two days. So, I had to figure out a way to operate it and exhaust the fumes somehow. But that was around the time CH4 was in development and I was overcoming some issues with development. I just put it on the back burner so I can stay focused on CH4. Then of course, with CH5 I wanted to stay focused here too since there's a lot on my plate with Steam and staying on top of CH5. So it just got bumped down on the priority list. Once I get CH5 out and Steam is out, I can take a breather and start doing some of the extra stuff on during CH6 cycle. On the subject of extra stuff, I don't have an update regarding the shirts yet. But I should have some info next week. I'm starting to enter crunch mode, so a lot of extra stuff I tend to lower on the priority pole. But the shirts are on the cusp of being done, so I definitely want to see that completed very soon.

That's all for updates. Look forward to another preview this week!

Bro. Try using universal ren'py mod. It'll save you a lot of time. It notifies you when there are hidden alternative text or jumps due to different conditions and it lets you select those options to view them without fucking your save. It also lets you search and edit variables.

Yeah, Zoe is very much improved and Naomi is... getting there... At least Naomi isn't nightmare fuel anymore.

Well, I suppose if you're going to name her after the goddess of the hunt, this makes perfect sense.

Everything in this engraving is divine, now all that matters is that the stretched bowstring doesn't catch on Artemis' pretty horns. :giggle:

Really looking forward to the next chapter. This has been a great game with some really topnotch storytelling and characters. One of the very best available, I think. Love the archer (archeress?) shot too. :)

True indeed. Yet i can't find a single lady i reallu like to get involved with. June, the asian girl and Kendra (if i remember correctly the name) look good, but while June is ok overall and has a nice past with the MC, the asian girl is extremely boring and Kendra is far too much of an oddball. The other ladies not only are very uninteresting, but they also look rather terrible. Especially the Wayne's World 2 girl. Maybe the redeming arch will be turning Artemis in a sexbot. That's so strange for a game where the story is so enticing and everything is so well cared.

There's no such thing as "too much" of an oddball. How can you not want to spend your whole life with a girl who puts a tiny cowboy hat on your cock while you're asleep ? :oops:

Was it ever bugged, because as far as I remember when the update launched all the people crying about it were missing one of the girls, usually the one in the middle, in front of the stage(forgot which one was it)?
I need to go back and see what was happening (because I stopped playing after it repeatedly happened) but I think it was a case where I was correctly guessing the costumes and the game wasn't picking up on that.

I like when girls are not some clones models with F+ bra but... in my opinion, this game goes too far in making them too unattractive in visual terms, esp. faces, omg...

I don't find their personalities attractive too, but I understand that's totally depends on tastes.

Still, Best wishes to dev, never said the game itself is bad.

I'm with you on the inflatable chest clones, and I'm always happy when devs step away from that and allow for diversity of skin and body types. I like the personalities of the girls because they're distinct and mostly interesting, but I have to admit that there's a couple of faces that are pretty rough. Hopefully future incarnations will refine those a bit.

Yeah, I hope so..
Still I do understand that I can't get all at once. There were games with perfect looking characters for my tastes... but totally unplayable overall, that's much worse))

True that. No amount of artwork makes up for a crappy story. Still, that's clearly not the case here and almost everything in the game is overwhelmingly positive.

When I saw the pictures of the MC with skullcap and tatoos I really had to struggle with the decision to try it because he looked like a total loser. I am glad to say that is not the case but since he is my avatar I was not happy having to see him. Then there was the future tags of Harem and Lesbian. I love the harem genre but am sick and tired of creators making my Li's bi-sexual. Of course, kindra had to almost immediately mention that she fucked the waitress. I totally lost interst in her at that point. I don't mind bi-sexual content as long as it is optional and not canon. I don't follow any creator that forces kinks on me I don't want. Then I am forced to move in with her and her weirdness was just too much for me and I quit at that point. I liked the dialog for the most part but felt that there was something wrong with the renders, like they were too plastic looking or something, not enough expression. I wish you the best on your project but unfortunately the bi-sexual roommate was the straw that broke the camels back.

Hey, could've been even worse for you. Imagine if Kindra was a dude and went all Brokeback Mountain on Woody :KEK:

Indeed. Sometime a bit to heavy on the trivia, but it's till one of the AVNs I enjoyed the most.
Rarely do I find comedy done right in AVNs, Artemis nails it. Well, for my taste at least.

Not much of a back on that camel........
