VN Ren'Py Artemis [v0.5.1] [digi.B]

[Defenestrator.for.traitor]

I guess you were right when you said you would be back

Whenever I check my alerts, you; at the top of list, lusting after another woman. I feel oblige to make comment.

Probably have more to do with Artemis also being goddess of childbirth. They've even alluded to that idea in game.

Also, considering that "chastity" can be interpreted as "being faithful and with no immoral activity", one could reasonably interpret it as a solo path with no side babes.

So the question becomes, how does one artificially inseminate an android? And a follow up question - if it's by natural methods, will it be visualized on our screens?

Well, Artemis was not the Goddess of Procreation/Childbirth. Aphrodite was also the goddess of Procreation and Eileithyia was of Child birth. In fact Artemis was a Maiden (Virgin). Swearing to never marry and never lose her maidenly virtues. She is, essentially, the counter point to Aphrodite who was all about love, sex, beauty and procreation!

The Ancient Greeks - Interesting folk.

It depends what way the dev decides to go with things. If they stay true to the name... Our MC will likely be forever blue balled by the droid. But, hey, they'll have an awesome hunter type on their side - Good be useful against those pesky antagonists in the game. Though, I suspect, the droid will be screwable at some point... Considering it is an Adult game after all!

I am redownloading the 4.2 version. Changed the music rpas like I wanted but now I hear nothing. I'll just stick to the norm from now on.

Yes, Artemis is a name from Greek mythos... THAT is as far as this game takes the reference. It is just a cool name. Our Artemis is a sex android so you can throw chastity out the fucking window. If the dev had used the Roman equivalent for this same goddess, Diana, would that have triggered you as well? My point is that Artemis is a name, not a state of being.

Adventure ever on, Phat

Didn't trigger me at all. Was just remarking on the name is all. People can air opinions with out having been triggered, you know.

Technically, she's already screwable, they don't need to make any adjustments in order to make her so. The MC already fingered her shortly after finding out about her. But at some future point she may yet become an LI of some sort.

I yes, I forgot the MC was a creep. Should have guessed... They usually always are in an AVN aha.

Happy Monday!

What a rush of a week. Just to get it out of the way, I'm personally happy with Artemis' performance over the weekend with Steam. Hiring a composer is priority now, but more on this in a bit.

Only thing I'm not satisfied with is the change in music. The selection I had to choose from wasn't great and they were composed at the same caliber as the artists from Artlist/Epidemic. Honestly, all this could have been avoided of these websites put something like "Yes, I am okay with my music being featured in NSFW works." when the artists are submitting their work to these sites. Bam, would have saved a number of us a lot of headaches because not all artists mind it but it's too much for these sites to inquire the artists on a case by case basis. But whatever, it's done with and I have the funds to hire a legitimate composer. And I'm real excited to seek out someone to collaborate with. Discuss key scenes especially and really create a "sound" that will hopefully make you think "Artemis" when you hear it. Even the sexy scenes, for example have a track that expresses anger and frustration during Cassie's scene in CH4. Or some a lot more subtle, romantic. Something that expresses anticipation and love for lewd scenes that involve Kindra's character. I love collaboration and I look forward to discussing scenes with the composer and seeing what we can create.

On the subject of music. The changes are also coming to Patreon version at some point (before the composer). So I want to remind everyone who still wants the original music to save these files in your current PATREON version now

Copy these files somewhere safe and copy them over to overwrite future updates. These are located in _Artemis/game/

If you experience no sound, this just means you were playing an older version. When the scene changes, you'll get the restored tracks. This is just until we get the newly composed tracks completed as I hope you have a better experience with Artemis this way.

SO! With Steam out the way now, finally. I can again add the t-shirts back on my list. I just wanted to remind everyone that has been waiting on them that it's something I'm working on now. Nothing has been thrown on sale yet, so no one missed out on anything. I'll keep everyone up to date on as things complete on that front.

And again, now that Steam is released and so far has seemed bug free (knock wood). This means I can pour all my focus with CH5 development.

I've said this so many times, but I truly am thankful for you all. It's still unbelievable how much Artemis is received. I am also thankful to the AVN community for accepting me so well. It's crazy when someone approaches me and says they're getting into this too because Artemis inspired them. One of those people is Meat Shield who I've become real close buddies with and he's been working away and creating his own visual novel. He just released his second chapter last month.

The title of his visual novel is Fog of War and he has a demo available to try out. Links to all his socials are on the main menu of his VN.

Thank you all and have yourselves a wonderful week!

Back to the grind!​

Really Phat? This is a little out of character for you. I was having a very civilized discussion with Orgitas and the only one that even remotely seemed triggered was you.

And to your point that Artemis is a name and not a state of being, all I have to say is this - god (maybe even the very Diana you mentioned) forbid a developer using a character's name to foreshadow something about the character. I mean, it's such an unimaginable idea, right? And it's entirely indefensible for Orgitas and myself to have a little fun speculating based on such a name, right?

 

[ZazzyBoi]

Good thing I'm regrabbing the 4.2, cuz I don't have those 3 rpas right now.

Phat might just be suffering from your 'nickname'.
Sometimes it's just best to skip over some replies.
(sorry, don't mean to come across as patronizing, I just thought it might actually be as simply ironic as that )

 

[Ilhares]

Am I weird for not liking piercings? The girls are obviously great characters, but I couldn't see myself dating them cuz I don't really like the rings and studs and whatnot.

Personal preference. I detest face tats, I don't care who it is. That's why I am really hoping we can bang Katy's sister at some point. I love Katy's personality, but that stupid bit of ink just kills the mental wood. Thought she looked outstanding at the party, though.

I just opened the persistent in the "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\_ARTEMIS.[memories]" folder, deleted everything, and saved it. Then copied it over to the Artemis steam save folder and it wiped everything for me.

You can save a lot of time and just replace the orange text with %appdata%. This works in Explorer text fields and from the command line.

Probably not, though the fact that the younger generations have adopted piercings in greater numbers, that aversion may prove to be a detriment eventually.

On the other hand, if you have an aversion to tattoos, this might not be the game for you...

Also there's "Chekov's Fingering." If you finger the gynoid in Act I, you'll be having sex with her in Act III.

Technically, she's already screwable, they don't need to make any adjustments in order to make her so. The MC already fingered her shortly after finding out about her. But at some future point she may yet become an LI of some sort.

Precisely!

Ahem....scientific curiosity.

 

[ZzZzZiggy]

Genuine question: does anyone know what the actual progress is on the next release? Cause for some time now, digi seems to have been more interested in... side stuff. Like the Steam release or shirts.

 

[PapaPhat]

Am I weird for not liking piercings?

My elder's voice of wisdom says, "NO. You are not weird." I'm not a fan of body piercings in general. I have grown accustomed to seeing brows, side of the nose, belly button and even the nipples pierced. Not a fan but wouldn't request that she remove any of those before sex. However, center of the nose(that is for barnyard animals like pigs, hogs, bulls and cows)/both nostrils, more than two rings/studs in the brow, more than one in the genitals (even one there is not my thing), or anywhere in the lips and/or tongue are cause for removal. If she wants me to kiss her, no lip or tongue rings/studs. If she wants me to perform cunnilingus or insert my fat cock or even my thick fingers then no vaginal piercings allowed!

I detest face tats

Face and neck tattoos are invariably mistakes and frequently regretted by those who receive them. Having a body piece that just so happens to extend up onto the neck is alright, like tips of wings or touch of flame that extends from a chest or back piece can look cool. But, nothing says, "I have zero self esteem" like fully tatted neck or any tattoos on the face. In ancient Rome, escaped slaves or prisoners were tattooed with "FUGITIVUS" meaning fugitive across the forehead as a sign of shame and easy identification.

that aversion may prove to be a detriment eventually.

If all of the females suddenly got 20+ piercings and facial tattoos... I would have nothing left but old porn and fond memories. "Damn, girls!!! Did you get into a fight with a nail gun??? Holy shit!!! The nail gun obviously won!!!" Hahaha

Adventure ever on friends, Phat

Chekov's fingering, ha,i'll have to remember that one.

As long as you don't start talking about his Dick is all good

 

[ZazzyBoi]

OK so I follow all 4 of the Dataleaks posts here and am still missing a few. Did I actually somehow miss them or are they tied to something else? I can list the ones missing if that helps.

I want to say something about your conditions, but I probably shouldn't. One thing though--we're not impressed when you call your cock fat or your fingers thick. We're not going to bed with you.

Face and neck tattoos are invariably mistakes and frequently regretted by those who receive them.

Invariably mistakes? Are you the arbiter of absolute judgement on other's decisions about their bodies?

Having a body piece that just so happens to extend up onto the neck is alright, like tips of wings or touch of flame that extends from a chest or back piece can look cool. But, nothing says, "I have zero self esteem" like fully tatted neck or any tattoos on the face.

And how is this factoid relevant to real life or the game?
