VN Ren'Py Artemis [v0.6.2b] [digi.B]

[MAGO-DAG]

I really like this game but my biggest complaint is with one part of the story. I understand Cassandra screwed the MC over in the past. With Kindra offering the MC to be a partial owner of a company with her why would the MC turn that down just to be an employee of Kindra's. I mean if I got screwed over I wouldn't ever want to be screwed over again. So I'd think it would be harder for me to be screwed over as an owner than it would as just an employee...

As much as I would like to agree with you, there are things that are more difficult to accept after severe trauma due to the past... In reality, there are many who, due to a setup or betrayal, suffer both men and women... put yourself in that place Mc, you partially created the project yourself and your partner fucked you hard? There is a famous phrase: “Fear your friends and not your enemies, because your friends will betray you.” Mc needs time and decision and thanks to the good old friends he was close to, as well as new friends, he will be helped to discover new ideas and start a new life.

It’s not easy to fit in and become an owner, when you’re offered this opportunity, it sounds so strong and fast that an old injury begins to stress you out.

Happy new week!

Last week was uneventful. Mostly posing and rendering. I did a bit more asset importing, and setting up a new environment. Someone had a goth phase growing up.

I had question brought up earlier this week on Discord about Artemis' discernment protocol points. They asked if having higher firm points is required for romancing her later in the story. Answer was no, the discernment points are separate from her romance points and only alter specific events in the story. Though, I will say some romance scenes may play out differently depending on those points. Nothing negative at all, but Artemis may suggest things to you when on her path.
I also wanted to remind everyone that I considered your feedback regarding the discernment protocol choices from CH5. I'm crafting better scenarios so the choices won't make you feel like you're punishing her too hard or coming off too mean when interacting with Artemis and her discernment protocol.
That wraps it up for last week. Thank you everyone and please be safe!

In many countries it's far easier to screw over a partner than the employee. Employees are often protected by the law and don't really care about much if they receive regular paycheck.

Surely this won't be a december update but a mid year update right? By the way CH6's pace is going?

Kindra: I can't believe I threw up in front of a reporter.
June: Face it, Kin. You threw up on that reporter.

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!! This game is SOOOOO amazing! The animations are top notch! The writing.....oh god THE WRITING!!!!! One of the best games I've encountered in terms of dialogue and character development!! The humor is top notch! This game could literally be turned into an amazing series on Hulu or Netflix or w/e and I would renew my sub for both just to watch it lol. This game has few peers in its execution, dialogue, character development and animations. I tip my hat to the creator digi.B . I don't WANT more updates............I NEED more updates! I can't wait to see where you take us on this journey!!

 

[Ciaran8023]

Honestly, I've had this on a backburner for a while and I'm a bit pissed I didn't get around to playing it until now.
Characters have some great writing backing them up, each of them feel distinct and very genuine.
MC has a realistic trajectory and behaviour given his trauma and THANK FUCK that Cassandra doesn't get "redeemed" in the MC's eyes, so many devs just makes characters that puts the MC through actual hell and for some reason the MC always forgives them, but not this time and it's so cathartic watching him go full nuclear on her dumb ass.

The actual setting is pretty interesting, futuristic but not overly so and the game actually delves into the potential issues of large-scale high tech AI and the moral repercussions/pitfalls of it.

Straight up just a really solid game, in my top 3. Also Artemis is strangely cute, the way she murdered that poor PC mouse was endearing.

On the Patreon it says the creator is "moving away from Daz". Anyone know what they are moving to instead?

That usually means AI, since HS2 or HS1 would be a regression.

Blender.

Here's a quote from a devlog from a couple of weeks back:

This is a propaganda devlog. Blender over DAZ, fight me. Just kidding, but in all seriousness, I'm pretty confident in shifting over to Blender by Book 3. A lot of the special renders done lately were in Blender and no one seems to really notice the difference.
