First of all, you should be really asking this type of question directly to the developer, digi.B himself because only he can give you a definitive answers.Hello, all. I am just here for a simple question. Just started for the first time, saw the music replacement notice, decided to come here to ask; As of right now, has the music been changed from the original tracks already, or will they be replaced starting in Ch. 5? Leap of Faith had this issue where they had to take out some BANGERS that simultaneously fit the scenes they played in, so the updated scenes were meh. If possible, I want to experience this game as I did LoF: as the developer originally envisioned. Or some stuff like that I'm not a smart guy.
Most of us here are just players, fans, some are supporters/patrons, some are trollls etc. so we can't really give you the correct answer, most will only be highly speculative, made up or some that are based on some facts. So, instead I will direct you the last development post on Artemis here.
Major takeaways from that post are below:
In short, you can't experience the original vision ( musically ) especially with the Steam release, because the original tracks by Artlist/Epidemic were replaced with placeholder tracks ( but you can still get older release somewhere that contains them ). Futurewise, if Steam release goes well the placeholder musical tracks will be replaced with new musics, fingers crossed.That said, I only have two major things left on my plate with Steam which are the two chapters of music I still need to change. I stayed focus on CH5 development last week and told myself I'll complete the track flushing this week. So between today and tomorrow, I'll be swapping out the remaining Artlist/Epidemic tracks with the placeholder tracks. Part of my Steam wishlist, should things go well there, is to hire the composer to re-do all four chapters of Artemis as well as compose chapter 5 and future chapters. So, while the old songs will hold a special, nostalgic place in my heart. I look forward to finally having music that really places the cherry on top and compliments the melodic atmosphere for Artemis, especially for very key scenes like MC vs Cassie coding scene, other montages and hopefully some really nice themes for key characters. Come Wednesday, I plan to do final run of testing before submitting the final build to Steam. After this is done, rest of the week will be business as usual as I continue and shift all my focus back to CH5. It's a stressful week but I will be real happy to finally mark Steam off my plate and just focus on CH5 from here on.
2 options here ( as far as the musics are concerned ):
1. Play older version where the musics are there.
2. Wait for future version potentially with new music ( no idea when ).
