Hey everyone!
The poll was a great turnout! Paige is getting her hair done. I decided to take it further and provide some options for the final choice. Three styles to choose from for the final decision.

This time I added her glasses, some of you mentioned wanting to see her with her glasses.
Also, I hear your concerns about hairstyles and seeing them overused. Unfortunately, with DAZ it can be challenging with many factors at play; The artist made crappy shaders, the strands/hair don't have bones/pose dials, hair renders poorly. Most of you know I'm capable of creating my own assets or heavily modifying them. But hair is a whole other process that I'd rather not touch. Additionally, most other devs aren't 3D modelers, so creating new styles is far and few between. Best I can do for you guys is avoiding using Haven Park and create my own. But hair isn't in the future, unless I hire someone to design one for me. Which is a possibility in the future.
The point is not many hairs in the DAZ store render good and of course that's what the majority of readers want; really good renders. Consider wet hair for example. Next to Haven Park, this is probably an asset you've seen countless times

That's because there's probably only 3-5 wet hair assets in the DAZ store. Which makes it a little difficult to show wet hair that's at this level of detail. You could just ramp up the reflection and tones to make hair look wet on other hairs. But it doesn't always come out great. It also makes it difficult when you have characters with specific hair styles, like shorter bangs for example. The DAZ store just doesn't have a whole lot to choose from. It's the struggle of development when making asset choices, creating characters, etc.
So, I do apologize if either of the hairs above feel overused. The hairs that are being newly released in the DAZ store do have a higher quality to them, but most are for G9 models only and not all hairs play well when put on G8 models. One of the choices I wanted was G9 and dforce didn't work on it and when I saved a pose, loading the file didn't place the hair back onto the head, lol.
Anyways, the final part of the poll will be going up shortly. Also, next week is Thanksgiving week. My grandma, my sister and her family will be staying over to have Thanksgiving at my place, so it's going to be a short week for me next week. Just a heads up on that front.
Have yourselves a great week everyone and be safe!

If you want a real change, "B" is the better of the three. "A" makes her look like a blonde Becca from Single Again, while "C" is similar to the current, just longer, uncropped bangs, it seems.

Long hair all the way! No changes!

Wow, just wow! Ok, I finally finished the existing content and the end... LOL! My MC is behaving and not aggressively chasing every LI. I'm not sure if that is the best approach for adult content, but I can do another play through and see what happens. The story and character development really shine.
I'm really excited for what comes next.

I really hope that Cassandra crashes and burns during the expo. I think it would be great if her ai recognized Aiden and Kendra, Artemis recognizes it's code base as the same as Koko. Something that exposes her as the real cause of the blackout.

If I were atop her during sex, B feels more appropriate to the situation. Otherwise I also have to lean towards A or C. She's wearing glasses because she wants to see, so having the hair hang down over them is counterproductive. I think C would suit her better as its a more low-maintenance style, which seemed to be what she was going for in the first place.

I agree but without any bias I still prefer the "A" choice, it lets us see better her beautiful face.

You know...for a game called Artemis. There's really not a whole lot of "Artemis" huh?

Well not until season 2 because she isn't "online", then is like 90% Artemis content all the way in chapter 5 and 6 and they are for me the best episodes.

It is just the narrative way of the story, season 1 focus more on the MC struggles, reuniting with a long "lost" friend and about the INK sorority girls but still focus a bit on working on offline Artemis because the MC reunited with Kindra, the long "lost" friend.

The dev could of start the story on episode 5 but we would lose a lot of necessary exposition and all the other LI's background stories and MC background story as well.

You're either trolling or haven't played the game to say something

No I mean the public date here

No I mean the public date here

It's usually a month or two after the release unless a hero leaks it.

Over a YEAR from now??!!??

 

[pitao]

Over a YEAR from now??!!??

That member is clearly spreading false information aka trolling if you didn't notice don't feed them .

 

[Joan6969]

When is the next update?

Disregarding what the troll said There is no ETA yet on chapter 7.
All I can say is he started working on 7 early May of this year so that's
about it. Hopefully there will be news on that in a month or 2.
It's been about 6 months of development so far for chapter 7.
The good part is most of his chapters have a good deal of content.
Around 5,000 renders or so if I remember right.

Yup and besides that the previous update delay was also due to some unfortunate and sad circumstances that the ones that follow it know well, probably won't take that long the next one but yeah usually Digi.B updates are big.

Also I didn't said anything about the last small update as well, I enjoyed the "cooing" Artemis sounds, wasn't exactly how I made it sound in my head but it was fun and good enough hehe I wish they put a "input" voice sound as well, that would be fun as well .

Honestly, I DO prefer "A" (and it seems to be winning in early returns), but it reminds me too much of another character in another VN, so that would bother me a little. Of course, I really don't want to see it changed - she's great as she is - but it seems that ship has sailed. I guess, since I'm a pirate, I could chase it down, but I still don't (and shouldn't) have any say in the matter at all because I'm only a pirate and not a paying patron. As with all VNs where the Dev apparently "gets bored with" or "suddenly realizes what he really wanted" or any of the myriad other reasons given for changing a character's look, I'll just roll with it when it comes out and maybe be a little sad unless it grows on me - it's hair, after all, and it does that.

Thank you
this game looks so good, so i'll play it anyway whether the new update released or not.
I'm just hope that new update can accept my old saves.
