_Artemis Development Log
Happy Monday!
This was a busy week as I focused on lewd scenes. I sort of got a little carried away with a blowie scene and I overestimated the abilities the animation PC. Calculating the render time, it's going to take 5 days to complete on a 3060 card. It's a 31 second loop that has more than just head bobbing going on. So it's a good animation, however it has me rethinking my future animations. For now at least, until I can procure more equipment. Kind of unfortunate, since I had a good animation planned for DJ Kink. But just means its back to the drawing board with her scene. That said, the other lewd animations are about 9-10 second loops, so you can still expect good animations of course. Just the lengths have to be tamed.
Speaking of DJ Kink, I got her tour bus this week and it's looking amazing. I still need to replace some emblems and logos. But I'm loving it overall. Again, thanks everyone for funding purchases like this.

I'll be shopping around for more food assets this week. There are three story related scenes where you hangout/meet with LIs. As well as two optional hangout/meets. It's up to you if you want it to call it a date or just hanging out, depending on your choices. While on the subject of LIs, Artemis is an LI however her mechanic is going to be much different as it relates to the core story. It's going to take some finesse to bring her into the story without waiting 20 twenty chapters (no, it won't be 20 chapters lol). A good Mark Twain quote is Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please. So, over the next few chapters I'll be utilizing that quote to bring her to life. That said, MC will be building his relationships in the meantime. Whether you make them serious relationships, FWB, or just good friends. That's up to you.

Since I focused mostly on animations this week, the story renders only bumped to 1,682. However, I'll be back on track with the story renders this week. So you can expect to see the preview renders continue. I also worked on the script more as well as added notes for CH3. Additionally, I moved one scene from CH2 to CH3. So only 10 scenes remain until I'm finished with story renders.
Have an amazing week everyone!

I am both really excited and really worried about how long it will take to see another release. I hope it won't be too long before we can delve back into this game.
I think dev's should take all the time they need. You tend to either get devs that rush out little content every 2 weeks like ToN or you get dev's that release a good chunk of content every 6 months, you really can't have both and personally i prefer the every 6 months approach but i do understand why some people want new content every week even if there's not much of it.

If it is every 6 months I am fine with it, that's my preference when it comes to game releases, especially when it is a large amount of content. I just don't want to see another developer who tries to do too much and ends up delivering once a year.

Obviously waaaay too early to know how this will go, just worried that there seems to be a lot that digi.b needs to accomplish for the next release.

I am probably blind, but I have run into a stopping point where the MC, just after having re-met Kindra, is in her living room, she ducks into the shower, MC just exchanged a couple comments with doggie. Highlighted choices are Kindra's audio setup or her computer (got the SD chip). Then......nothing else. Where do you go from there? Sorry if this has been posted before. Thanks.

I believe the phone is available on the bottom left as the map for the apartment. You should be able to click on the bedroom area where the MC is going to sleep. Maybe a dot or something there.

I would rather play a game that doesn't have a depressed MC. Terrible, terrible way to start a game, especially one you're meant to fap.
Because life is full rainbows and skittles.

He was depressed for a reason, if you actually played the game you’d know that. It’s not like the whole update he was sulking in his own pity.

I can't wait to see how the story continues in Chapter 2.

All in all, this is a very good game with massive potential and a fascinating perspective of its premise.
The end of Chapter 1 was beautifully choreographed.
Hopefully digi.B can figure out how to solve the memory issue.

This game is poorly optimised for low-end PC's. Even when I play on laptop, I constantly keep getting out of memory error (ram hungry). That seems to be the case with Android ports. IDK why? I hope Dev can look into this issue.

It works perectly on joi play for android. All I can say about this game is wow! The story is good, and keeps you interested. The girls all look hot but I'm in love with Kindra. She is a total babe. If the dev can keep up with this quality on the next release he will definitely have a new supporter on his patreon. Great job digi.B!

I was finding that... I didn't really want to click on the shower doors but I think you need to click on it to continue - you get two options (call her bluff or don't do it) and then you can go to sleep by clicking the window in the bedroom.

I'm sad that this appears to be the developers first game... although it's a great game regardless of however many someone has released but really surprising that a new developer has released this game :) really good stuff!

The reason why I'm sad is because I want to play through something similar whilst waiting for the next release... does anyone have any suggestions? :)

If you are looking for something with a plot to it, and good graphics/animation, play City of Broken Dreamers. It has an excellent visual and story line, though it's been a while since I played it. The creator of that game also made Depraved Awakening (which is completed), it has a good story.

Happy Monday!

This will be a short update as all I've focused on was building sets, setting character attires, and finishing up one of the larger scenes. I've also been going over the script more making minor adjustments. Fortunately I tend to render many different expressions and reactions, making script changes this late into development easy. Not having to worry about any additional renders.

This week I'm at 1,994 story renders with only 8 scenes left to complete. I'm hoping to see an increase in scene completion this week, since I'm not procuring new sets for these next few scenes. Once the scenes are complete, the animations should go a lot faster since I'll be able to double up on the rendering for the animations, once all the story renders are done. Things are coming together really well and by the end of this week, I should have a better idea of where CH2 is at. Bare in mind that there is still a number of things to work on, but once the story renders are done. Coding and UI work will be a breeze to work on. Then there's the beta testing and after that-that last bit of polishing before release.
Look forward to more previews this week!

have a wonderful rest of your week everyone!
