i mean i can see why some people are disappointed , if this was a game like "Summer's Gone" that is focusing on character development and resolving the MC trauma first , i would understand no sex scenes or close to no sex scenes , because the game was established that way , and Oceanlab already said that "Summer's Gone" will eventually have sex scenes , while this is not that game section , just want to point out that his other game " Where It All Began " have a sex scene right at the beginning because the MC of that one is already dating someone . So Summer's Gone will get that once the MC trauma is resolved.
Anyway , if this was "Summer's Gone" or even " Leap of Faith" games that defined themselves for having character development first , and sex scenes later , it would be understandable .
But this game "Artemis" did both since the beginning ( i think ?! ) , and established a format for itself , so not doing that format might be disappointed for some people .
However i also understand that story and character development are important in a game / VN like this , after all if only the sex scenes mattered , there is a lot of games that have a lot of sex scenes but lack a good story , and good character background.
There was a game , idk the name , could even be "Artemis" and i don't know , but there was a game that did one update no sex scenes , next update sex scene , after that no sex scene again , and after no sex scene the next update would have a sex scene again. I don't remember which game did that since its release , idk if it was "Artemis" or not , i just know that a game with this format as existed before and if Artemis decides to do it that way , i see no problem with it .
So i understand some people disappointment but as long as there is sex scenes next update or there is "good sex scenes " next update , i don't think this is motive to act like it's something that serious yet.
