VN Ren'Py Artemis [v0.6] [digi.B]

[Karabonga]

Think the girls are programmed "bots" with a set personality/protocol, but this is just a tin foil guess, also thought they came off a bit 'robotic.' As far as the fencing program would wager it was about the project that is Artemis, and a functional AI but not fully clued in on what Artemis is yet. The support for that I would use is that when the MC is brought up to have worked on Koko with Kindra. That seemed to be a moment that piqued her curiosity and gave her a bit of pause. Koko's showing at the Expo will probably change everything, along with the possibility of Artemis being "stumbled upon" haha.

As far as the girls tho and reasoning I doubt her girls are AI android, is because we see all the complexities with Artemis and her overheating, processing, yadayada. Seems like the tech wasn't fully there yet with Enzo and Nora, they were only at the preliminary phase so to speak.

That’s a good point about the tech still being early-stage — Artemis clearly pushes the limits of what Enzo and Nora had developed. But I keep circling back to the emotional weight of that “pleasant memory” scene. Kandice tearing up felt deeply personal, almost like she was revisiting a moment with someone she lost. I got the impression it might've been her daughter, Gemma — and that Artemis could be a continuation of that grief.


So my theory is: Kandice, possibly alongside Kindra’s parents, was trying to build an AI/android modeled after her daughter — not just physically, but emotionally, through memory preservation or neural mapping. That might be what the “old project” referred to. Artemis could be that result — a kind of hybrid attempt at digital resurrection.


Again, this is just speculation, but the way Artemis reacts and grows emotionally might be more than just advanced programming.


By the way, does anyone know how many chapters this VN is expected to have?

The animations got worse in this update, so much time waiting for a proper reyna and paige scene and it ended up being poor. more money, more time and a worse product. I hope it improves for the next updates.

I know what you mean but personally the only thing that bugged me was that they were kinda on the short side. Both scenes could've used a position or two more. Otherwise pretty damn hot.

Four books I believe... so 16 chapters as of now. Could change but
that's what I remember from a post on his Patreon.

what differ between steam and normal version?

Could be one to something with that you know don't know if it was directly for kandice or if she was helping and there's at least on reference in the game about how kindras parents liked greek mythology

In ancient Greek religion and mythology, Artemis (/ˈɑːrtɪmɪs/; Ancient Greek: Ἄρτεμις) is the goddess of the hunt, the wilderness, wild animals, transitions, nature, vegetation, childbirth, care of children, and chastity.[1][2] In later times, she was identified with Selene, the personification of the Moon.[3] She was often said to roam the forests and mountains, attended by her entourage of nymphs. The goddess Diana is her Roman equivalent

But that's all I've got haha

Edit: Updated for v0.6

I found these bugs in your version 0.6 bugfix1 for Artemis 06. Did I do something wrong using your files? I simply unzipped them into the game folder. Did I have to do something else? (To be precise I used the game update to bring it to version 0.6)

Spoiler: code

Update: if I remove all .rpy files from "code" folder it only finds a problem starting with "streetkombat.rpyc" file. If I remove that one too it starts

Damn! What a great VN! One of my favorite ones! I really love it! Enjoyed a lot this chapter! Kindra and June are my favorite girls since begining and that didn't change at all! I enjoyed Paige and Reina scenes, but Kindra and June, yea, they're the "first ones", of course, we have Artemis and Koko (who are great girls too). I can't wait to see next chapter, and I can't wait to see Cuntsandra failing at Expo.

I'm really not sure without seeing your installation but it seems you duplicated those files somehow?!? Seems just "badly" installed the mod. In the place where the .exe of the game is (where contains the game folder) check if you have there also a code folder, you shouldn't. If is there also delete it. The only code folder should be inside the game folder.

The other option is that you have a game folder inside the game folder with the mod installation also lol only can know if I look at your game installation. That shouldn't be there also if is the case. Only thing I know is it is reading twice from the same files. I can tell you that similar error happened to me in other game once and easily solved by deleting the duplicate that shouldn't be there.

Just a question there, did artemis's dev did some other game? I discovered Artemis on this chapter so I checked a bit the historic, last patch asked 1.5 year to dev so.. We'll have to wait early 2027 to see 0.7? :surprisedpikachuface:

I don't think so. I know that the dev had some real life problems, that's why this chapter was delayed, I guess.

Beside this he transitioned to blender as well so there was a learning curve too. That if i remember right from one of his logs like a year ago.

planned was 2 updates a year, (if RL don't objects that is)

There was a section about bad rendering in chapter 1 or something upon launch of the update and part of me wonders if it was meant for that section instead lol. I know the dev has had very unfortunate and difficult hardships with their eyesight IRL, and I pretty much attributed the few renders and farmers market segment to probably be partly caused due to those issues.

// on a different note //
Thought the update was fantastic, yeah the animated scenes werent top notch like usual but again genuine horrible IRL things to deal with like vision loss is one of the most legitimate reasons for someone to have problems developing a title like this. Still absolutely shines in every way in comparison to majority of AVNs, even for how much lesser-quality the animations were, they were still leagues above most. I got a couple great laughs from the banter & humor. I how consistent the growth of Artemis is, the writing didnt slouch at any points, it was mostly consistent with previous iterations. Also making good progression on the story and getting closer to the Expo. Honestly, was expecting 1/4th the update in content because thats kind of how stuff goes unfortunately, but I was pleasantly surprised and fulfilled with the release of a full chapter. Cant wait for the next one.

I didn't find the animations themselves to be bad or anything, infact they were quite fluid. Which is what initially caught my eye, and then I noticed how different they looked and could tell they were rendered differently than the stills around them. As a Dev myself, I tend to notice more details like that whenever I'm playing games now. I enjoyed the update as well. It seemed like it flew by and was over before I knew it. I'm a sucker for anything Artemis (the character) related, so seeing her tell the shoelaces to get fucked got a good chuckle out of me.

As for the eyesight disclaimer It's been in the game for a while now, as long as I've played it. I don't follow the game or the dev closely enough to say if it's a possible explanation or not, though. I wasn't really bothered by the market scene or the animations just noticed they looked different. If Digi is indeed experimenting with Blender like I think, it makes sense. It's notoriously better for animation, it renders much faster, and among several other benefits, you're also able to use the most recent gen hardware (Daz doesn't support the 50 series graphics cards at the moment). The trade-offs are that it's more difficult to learn and is a bit more involved than Daz.

Hey scrappy, any chance of continuing what you did with both routes before? In the new update both Reina and Katy, Zelda and Paige. Cheers
