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

I'm fully expecting them to find a way for her to be able to conceive, or at the very least carry a child with physical appearance similar to her own like Kindra suggests with genetic engineering, because why else would it be brought up? It's the

narrative principle in action. But I suppose it could just be brought up as part of the narrative about AI/androids and whether they are human or not, rather than something that needs to be solved.

I don’t necessarily think this is meant to be a plot device or a clue that will later play a key role in advancing or resolving a specific storyline in the game.

If Kindra is genuinely wondering how she might resolve this dilemma at that moment, it seems more like flavor dialogue, something used to highlight a theme in the game, such as the potentially sentient, even "human-like" nature of the android they’re trying to develop, along with the various issues and questions that arise from it. It also helps showcase Kindra’s eccentric, borderline mad-scientist personality in a fun way, at least in my view. ^^

The suggestion she makes doesn’t really come across as serious, at least not from the perspective of someone more pragmatic who would consider the ethical and moral implications, or even the societal acceptability, not to mention the legal aspects and the factual and technical feasibility of such an idea. And, in my opinion, why go through so much trouble for something that doesn’t seem necessary or useful in practice to begin with ?

Of course, I could be wrong, especially if the game introduces new elements later that support your theory. But as it stands, I don’t think Kindra’s casual comment or the exchange in that scene alone is enough to suggest that this is a significant narrative thread or something that will play a major role going forward.

Maybe that was the intention of Digi.B, for us to think about those implications, it is always a controversial subject when we deal with AI/Cybernetics and genetics/DNA or cloning. Can be just a causal conversation or mean something more, who knows, Digi.B probably knows hehe.

I enjoyed also the Katy path of the story when they were in the AI art exhibition, also raises some relevant questions about AI and made me think about it. Also controversial with polarized opinions, I keep my neutral stance about it since AI is still in its infancy. Future will tell.

For sure, it’s an interesting topic. That said, as I pointed out earlier, I do have some doubts about its relevance, logic, and even feasibility.

While I don’t expect the game’s story to dive into something as specific as an android conceiving or becoming a mother, there are still plenty of other important themes it could explore. For instance, issues like android rights, their independence, and whether they can think or feel for themselves are worth considering.

These questions could ultimately shape how society in the game’s universe sees androids, how they are accepted or rejected, and potentially spark conflicts along the way.

I agree and I believe Zelda gonna be a very important part of that particular sub plot of the story if they decide to go that way, it is kind of implicit that will happen, or maybe I read the story wrongly . Can't wait for the INK girls to meet Artemis hehe and how they will shape her personality.

Look, I’m not here to question anyone’s preferences or fantasies, but what’s the point and how did this even become a topic of discussion ?

I’m not even sure pregnancy is something the game intends to explore. That said, if it ever does become part of the storyline, I can see a few of the girls fitting naturally into that kind of development.

On the other hand, making that work with a robot seems far less convincing. It’s difficult to see how that could be integrated in a way that feels coherent, and I doubt it’s something most players, or even the developer, would find appealing.

Oh this is kinda tame considering some of the far-out wacky things I've seen brought
up on this forum.....and I'm not just talking about this game.

It's all within the realm of possibility. They would have had to have created functioning ovaries and given Artemis a menstrual cycle.

Far-fetched? Sure. I seriously doubt that's the way it will play out... just not impossible.

I'm not positive, but hasn't Artemis been awake for less than a month at this point? Maybe that's how she gets outed to girls in the INK house: she tells one of them she's started leaking and doesn't know why, and they introduce her to tampons.

Would be funny but first we must bring June back to conciousness after she fainted I'm exited to see how that plays out, and Artemis with the INK girls Misschief you name is Sorority
Naomis reaction will be pure gold

I was under the impression that they were going to inform the INK girls about her nature starting with June before asking if she could spend time with them. So I'm not sure she'll need to be 'outed' with them.

Can't remember if it would be a "full disclosure" or just a limited - June and Paige, maybe.

From what I remember, MC and Kindra were talking about, to expand Artemis horizonts, and wanted to bring June gradually on board, as.. well,.. June discovered it All by herself....
(shit each time I think about that scene I have to giggle )

I cant call Veronica, does that mean that I somewhat closed her path at some point?

It's been awhile and on 1 play I could and another I couldn't.{think it's tied into what girls you are perusing}
Plus you have to make sure you meet her at her place and give the right answers and play her little hacker game} But again it's been awhile.......
I suggest looking at the walkthrough or using Scrappy mod.

I'm guessing that you can't call Veronica in chapter 6 right, its greyed out. I'm too lazy to open the game right now and check so I'll try guide you with Mr Bubu pdf walkthrough.

So in chapter 6 you have a choice to call a bunch of girls as appear in this section of the WT, you have to get a variable Mr Bubu called "hang out with Veronica"....

... and that happens in chapter 5, I didn't saw any condition to not see the scene but you have to play one of the 2 minigames with her in that scene to get the variable...

I guess that is all you have to do. Hope it helps.

He knows who she is dingbat

Aww I love you too ! here take an extra cup of coffee, it is good against belly - cellulite

Btw I don't think that by not doing one of the minigames closes her path (unless later that "hung out with Veronica" is a condition to stay in her path), but you get less affinity/love (whatever is called) points with her. For example in both playthroughs I have to see almost all content I don't think I called her, too many options and only could make 2 different calls in 2 playthroughs but if she is one of your favorites go for it .

I'm a game cheater anyway lol if I ever not have enough points and locks me out of content I want to see and since I use URM I can change/add points on that variable hehe So far never needed to cheat that way, there is enough points with all the girls in the game by interacting with them and chose the "correct" options to meet all the affinity/love conditions so far in the game even if you miss some here and there.

 

[Anteron]

Fucked up if skipping minigames locks you out of content. I always skip. I FUCKING HATE minigames.
