I have to say how surprised I am with the story. I thought it was gonna be super cheesy with the whole AI stuff... but the

had me laughing for a good few minutes. Absolutely brilliant.
This game is just fun and good times. I mean there's an interesting story and it's going deep into relationships, politics etc... But when I play this game I just have a great time. I feel like it's a VN that's easy to read if you don't want to spend hours into it, and at the same time you can focus on it and experience the story differently.

Just finished it now - damn, so good. Do Patreons have early access to next releases?

I love the teaser video on Steam. Especially the part where she asks about his love life and after a huge montage of women, he says he is taking it slow. :ROFLMAO:

Good M-...Afternoon!

Last week was a helluva week. Processing the renders was a grueling process. Processing means I drag them into Photoshop into a template that automatically downscales them from 4K to 1080 and I color correct any that need to be. As well as correct any quick fixes like clipping. I managed to get a head start not long ago, but it was still a lot. This update is about 4300 renders big and processing roughly 3000 last week was mind numbing. I also found an issue with one scene where the teeth were badly rendered most likely due to the lighting for this scene. The character looked like a methhead and since this is a key character and a fan favorite, I I needed to address it.

After adjusting the settings, I managed to figure out what was causing this and adjusted it. Bottom image I was able to tone down the odd darkening of the teeth and whiten them a bit.

Fortunately, I don't have to open every single save to fix this. I just needed to review which shots were bad then open those files in notepad and tweak the one setting and save it. So I can't emphasize enough how saving your scenes uncompressed can really help you in situations like this. I'm still using these junk renders for the beta version while the fixes render out.

Beta testing did get a slight delay. On top of the render reviews; inserting the renders into the code took me a significant amount of time. The majority of it was done over the weekend and it's all I've been doing today. There are 5 scenes I've still got left to insert into the code and add whatever image sequences are needed. Beta team should be testing tonight/tues morning. Depending on how fast I can wrap up this part of the build.

If you're on Discord, I'll shoot a message in the announcement channel so everyone there knows when the team has received the build. It won't be a ping since that seems excessive. But I do want to keep everyone informed.

See you all next week and be safe and hydrated!

I've just finished the game. I have to say it's great!
The story is so interesting and the characters' design and personality are fantastic!
My favorite girls are Zelda, Reina and Paige. Tbh, I don't which one I will pursue later on :unsure:

Anyway, I can't wait for the next update! Consider me your fan from now on.

during the scene where u meet d-boys and after i cant save and get this code
i might be wrong about this but did you delete or mess with your renpy folder? like trying to download a new version to work on something or maybe you thought it would work better with an update? or did you change your system settings? like going from English/UTC to asian or arabic? also, as a rule of thumb, don't put anything on the system drive, mate. that usually leads to so many complications that it's not even worth it. from the little i could gather, the game fails to find/read certain definitions for UI and image rendering/display in your renpy folder, which is the programing language used by the dev. the only suggestion i have is to delete your folder (the actual ARTEMIS folder, not just the renpy one) and try unpacking the archive again (preferably to any drive but C, where your windows is installed). it could be that it also doesn't have the right to access said files, which usually happens when you put anything on the system drive.

no i only added urm and unren to the game and i think i used a wt. when i remove/add game i remove the folder completely (game folder) and reinstall if needed for a clean dl i dont mess with any system code except for script and gui to change small things like dialogue or textbox/text stuff. when i dl the game i added the aforementioned mods then ran the game when i got to the part i mentioned i couldnt save and not to long later i was able to save again i think it was after the night with june i cant remember at this point.

There is a bug where the right-click stops working if you check the data leaks, which fixes itself when you get the new phone (I think) ... Its supposed to be fixed with 5 I believe. You should still be able to use the menu buttons though.

How can i get access to DJ KINK STUDIO?
That's disabled because of a change of direction with the music -- last year companies licencing music started pulling them from adult material, so devs like Digi have had to scrap the music they were using if they want to publish on Steam, so he's currently in the process of updating the music with self-commissioned works.
