VN Ren'Py Artemis [v0.6.1b] [digi.B]

[PervyParadox]

Artemis is a company's product they're apparently going to be trying to make money with but there doesn't seem to have been any consideration on how exactly they're going to make money by making these people and it seems problematic since the only real answer to that question seems to be "selling slaves."

That is some wild interpretation of things. I really REALLY doubt that either Kindra's parents or Kindra and MC's goals for Artemis is just to "make money". You seem to think of Artemis as if she was a random chatbot or an IRL AI only made to serve some corporate purpose. She's not. Thanks to her code and her body it seems that she can already feel (excitement, pain, confusion, anger, joy...), get attached to people, and have preferences...

We don't know what Kindra's parents purpose for her was, and I don't think Kindra nor MC have a specific purpose for her as well for now. And if they have, it will most likely NOT to make money, serve the company, or sell slaves (though making money or serving the company might be byproducts of her existence anyway). She might even become sentient enough to be able to choose her own "purpose" at some point. Maybe the player will have some choices to make too about that, I don't know.

Happy new week!

A semi-technical week. I needed a danger noodle, a rattlesnake to be exact. Well, I didn't need it. But I wanted it for this scene. One didn't exist in the daz store (surprise), so I worked on one. Then I asked myself..."why do I torture myself?" when I realized how many little bones I needed to create to make this thing poseable. Not only that, but I needed to weight map it too.


It's a lot of work for sure, but now I have a rattlesnake for the scene and a new animal in my library for future scenes.


I'm realizing that this update features a lot of animals. Based on her mini-adventure at the mall in the last update, it's safe to say Artemis is on time out from the public. That said, will Koko get a second round with Martha this update? Place your bets.

Aside from this, I continued posing more scenes and rendering. I need to import and rig Paige's jeep for this update. If I have time this week, I hope to stream it on Discord. If not this week, then the following. No set time, but fret not. It's not an advertisement for my Discord. I'll post the screenshots here for those interested. I hope to do more streams since I've been doing a lot of mad-scientist stuff lately, trying to achieve my vision with scenes. And I think some people might want to see some of the process.

That wraps it up for last week. Thank you all. Stay safe and keep hydrated. And a reminder to take your multivitamins!

I've seen a lot more devs jumping on the streaming trend and I am all for it. I think its cool to see bts as long as they aren't spoiling key events.

I think they mostly speak Korean so low chance of them giving away any spoilers.

That's kinda the silly part for me as well. I think (in her current form) she's delightfully cute. As big a pervert as I am, I could be mid-scene banging June into happyland, and if Artemis walked in I'd still give her a hug (while continuing to bang June), a kiss on the cheek, and maybe ask her if she'd bring us some water. I don't need to lewd the simulacrum. (yet)

what a great game this is, the story, the characters, and artemis is really charming, absolutely delighted with this fabulous game.

who are the two women at the bottom of your comment?

 

[nonospot]

Wow didn't play for a while but it's really good : It works great on joiplay too.

digi.B did you think about making Wallpaper Engine's renders? Looping the game's menu or some of the scenes would make awesome animated wallpapers and may provide some kinda "advertisement" for your game. I'm pretty sure "Artemis" must be quite often looked for.

May I ask, where did you get this fansign? It beautifully captures Zelda's beauty.

It's personalized, so I'd suggest they made it themselves.

If you know how to make a .gif, you might be able to save and deconstruct it to remove the personalized elements, but I'd ask first.

something i've always been curious about, but never looked into before:
I would love to have Artemis, either the newest version or with her carbon jaw/arm, as a follower or CBBE preset for Fallout4.
is there any way to convert these assets, and would the author even be willing to provide them?

 

[Ilhares]

I'm no wizard when it comes to modeling, but I suspect the actual model/meshes for Artemis are drastically more detailed than what FO4 uses.

OMG would be such a great replacement for Piper or Curie!!!

Piper I'd agree with. I don't think I could stomach Artemis speaking with that bad French accent.

vanilla most certainly, but the popular replacers are much higher quality and hipoly. especially the ones with 'physics'.

only added Curie because of her Synth body but anyways....

Happy new week!

The week was productive, minus some little issues. Creating that danger noodle caused a bit of an issue with the custom terrain I was going to use it in. Which was odd because I had already done the entire scene already, so when I loaded up a previous scene to add the snake in. The terrain was suddenly corrupted. Ok, no big deal. I have the raw files still. I'll just save the asset as a DAZ asset again. Worked fine, then loaded the snake in which ended up looking like this

If this was PS1 era, I could probably get away with this. But, again, pulled the backups I had and re-created the asset, only to see the terrain corrupted again. For whatever reason, these two assets didn't like each other. After a minute or two of figuring things out, I just changed how it was saved and the two assets no longer clashed. Typical DAZ behavior, but can get annoying when you're in the groove of things and suddenly this happens. Still worth the effort because I like what this addition to the scene added.

Speaking of, I didn't get to Paige's jeep last week. For those wondering if they missed the stream or not. I kind of work spontaneously. I'll work on a scene, then shift gears to work on an asset if needed, switch to coding, etc. But for those who wanted to see it or catch a glimpse of my workflow. On discord, in the dev-announcement channel, I believe you can subscribe to announcements there. I try not to annoy people with random pings, I actually only reserve pings for when I drop chapter updates and nothing else. So, you don't have to worry about that if that's a concern. But I'll throw a message on there when I'm about to stream so you can catch it, for those interested.

Today, I'll be catching up on custom renders and then switch gears to development. On that subject, I want to mention that I'm slowly phasing out the custom tier (Artemis). Those currently still in the tier will continue to have their custom requests fulfilled. But no new slots will be opened. I'll re-think this after the update is released. But, for now, I just want to focus on updates, and the current number of custom slots is manageable (Artemis tier started with 10 slots.)

That wraps it up for this week!

Have yourselves a safe week and stay hydrated!
