FML thats so far back and i just wanted to skip past it! thank you honorable sailor for finding my "lazy dumbass" error
Yeah digi tends to do these "This decision will matter later, later on" gameplay fairly often. Kind of annoying, but it's nothing agregious... The spilt date with either Katy and the other one whose name is slipping my mind right now (I haven't played for long time) that was agregious!

It's call how life actually works. Consequences are often not immediate.

Yeah, but in some AVNs it feels like pick a color between 3 in ch1 and die as a consequence in ch12. It barely makes any sense most of the time, how events are connected and it feels more like a butterfly effect parody with the only purpose being there just to game the story with choices that matter.

In this particular case MC's dreams about someone should have zero bearing on MC real world relationship with those girls.

For anyone interested, this is one of those games that you don't try to play the field and make a choice later, you start a dedicated save in ep1 and stick with it, I did that mistake early and you always end up getting screwed out of scenes, sometimes 3-4 updates in, even with the girl you pick the majority of points with.

Minor addition to this: feels like there's the potential beginning of maybe a throuple or two on some paths. So potentially not quite just pick one of that's something you're interested in.

MC birthday coming right up and I will be extra pissed if Kindra X June threesome present was just a bait. :cautious:
Now, unlikely it will ever happen, but my two favorites Paige and Reina in a throuple? I will donate a kidney for. :love::Kappa:|


Edit: Also not saying you can't get more girls, all I am saying is you will lose content with your favorite no matter what if you play the field, compared to a pure save, maybe that is the pr5ice to pay for having group scenes down the line.

We remember the game quite differently. I remember it as the MC actively choosing whom to fantasize about. And it makes total sense that would have consequences on who you get to date later.

You're thinking about it from the girl's point of view. Of course she has no idea who you're fantasizing about. But the MC does, so it's perfectly logical for HIM to lock out a girl.
I never got it, but wasn't the scene in question about Zelda trying to get to bed a sleeping MC? How does a sleeping MC that fantasized about her 'allow' her to do that, but the other MC doesn't? Am I misreading something?:unsure:

Post from the dev on discord today
Hey Everyone

With 2024 coming and going with no new chapter for Artemis released, I know many have stopped by to see any status of what or when. Those of you on Patreon, especially if you were subbed in the first half of 2024, know the full details as I had shared this information with you guys at the time this happened. It's a difficult topic to discuss and the whole situation had caught myself and family in a storm of emotions. As we went into 2024, my mother's cancer took a turn for the worst. She lost a lot of strength to do things for herself and required a lot of help. I stepped in to take care of her, get her meals, keep her on track with meds, doctor appointments and even trips to the ER. All while also juggling the Artemis update. Unfortunately, she lost the battle at the end of June just two weeks before my birthday. It's been a difficult year to process everything and working on the update for Artemis has kept my mind busy. But for those who've experienced a loss of a loved one know how much emotional pain can overwhelm you at times. Especially during holidays.

Many of you, especially on Patreon, know how transparent I am with things. And bringing this up publicly certainly isn't easy, especially when it still feels new. I'm here to tell you that the update is very much still coming and there's only a handful of things left to do for this update. I wanted to chime in and set expectations as some of you are likely expecting a massive update of like 10k renders or something. Since chapter 3, the average release count has been 5-6k renders and that's about where CH6 is going to be. Content wise, a lot of the romance options took the backseat in CH5 with Artemis taking center stage (She is the title character after all.). With Chapter 6, this will be balanced out with the main story continuing and catching up with the love interests.

As a solo developer, times like this I wish I had a partner or team to hand off work to. Unfortunately, in the past many have gotten burnt out (non-AVN work) leaving me to do all the work. Which is why when I got into developing my first AVN (Artemis), I decided I'd go solo. I am hopeful I'll find a solid team in the future, but because of my past. I am very cautious of who I let into my inner circle when it comes to work.

Thanks everyone,
digi

Here's some behind the scenes of me working on custom assets and some previews for what's to come this coming chapter.
