Happy New Week!
This week was another uneventful one as I inserted more renders that are done so far into the code. Trying my best to stay on top of this now, instead of waiting until later. Because last time (and pretty much every time) this process is always a pain in the ass. Especially since CH5 introduced Artemis into the story and be...

Right off the bat, I want to inform everyone that Koko is finally being added to the Dataleak roster for special renders. Many of you have been spamming my DMs about it since CH1. So, here she is.
Sorry. Just kidding. It's April 1s...
Happy New Week!
Last week was the anniversary of me releasing Artemis to the wild back in 2021. The amount of support and love from you guys has been amazing, and something I never had expected when putting my story out there. Now that Artemis, the character, has been brought to life in the story. I can't wait to take you on her journey as...

Last week flew by pretty quickly. Aside from more posing and rendering, it was also a technical week. Which means more learning and skill building. There's a scene set in this chapter, and I wanted a particular dress for it, but nothing caught my eye in the Daz store, so I had to outsource it and found one that I liked

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.

A semi-technical week. I was working on a scene and was trying work in a hologram into the it. It just...wasn't great looking. Especially when you've compared it to how great the scene looks, then you've got this eyesore of an 80's era special effect slap center in frame...

First off, translations has been something requested by many since CH1. I really hesitated on this for a while because one: I've never implemented one. And two: I figured it was something that would be pretty involving. So when I was approached, I finally broke and decided to let someone do a translation. Chapter 1 will be ...

This week I did more code and dialogue edits. I also did more mockups for Artemis' discernment protocol. The icons being used in particular. I wanted to avoid using colors that some might associate as bad/good (red, blue or black,white, etc.). For those new, I didn't want anyone to get the impression that making firm decisi...

Nothing much to report this week. Mostly posing and some dialogue rework. As well as some coding.
I considered providing a preview for Artemis' 'cooing' sound, but thought I'd leave it a surprise. I'm slowly chipping away at that and the addition will be released alongside the next update. When I worked with the...

Mostly uneventful week. Just posing and rendering.
I also realize I've pretty much been working on several parts that are making up CH6. I hadn't shared anything outside of the technical stuff. So here's a teaser for everyone.

I'll try and keep this one short. This was a very technical week and by that I mean modifying, building, learning, etc. I was working on DK's model for her hiking scene and her hair had clipping through the visor. There are tools in DAZ to fix this. Tools like Mesh Grabber and one other that escapes me at the moment. Result...

No update on the shirts this week. I need to set up the storefront and was busy last week working on assets for ch6. At the moment, it looks like someone's xanga page (yes, i'm that many years old). We'll see how it goes this week to have them up.
I went back and made some adjustments to MC's car. In CH5, I had to pos...

Few nice updates to chat about. First, I got the final recordings for Artemis' 'cooing'. I had the VA record a few variations of the different emotions I requested. This way it doesn't sound repetitive after a while. I outlined some different emotions for the actress. I put a lot of work into the various emotions for shots ...

No updates on the shirts. Still waiting for the sample order to come in.
Good news about the voice actress. We've been working on dialing in Artemis' cooing sound. So those curious about the sound can look forward to that small patch. This feature will be toggleable in the settings menu, so if it's too distracti...

To my surprise, the revised shirts arrived today. The charcoal color was more black than I had expected and came out nice. The whites especially popped, which is great as I want the cities on the back to be legible. The red was also nice and the blue is pretty cool too. I chose a different shirt material as well, and this t...

Sorry for the late posting. I was working on the script earlier this afternoon and the DJ Kink shirt arrived and was pretty dissatisfied with the quality. So, I fell into a rabbit hole, looking at other options. The shirt itself feels really nice, but the method used (DTFx) made the shirt look very shotty. And as much as I ...

Things continue to be productive on my end, as usual. I'm still in the writing segment of development, and last week, I spent a lot of time catching up on technology in the real world When I conceptualized Artemis, which was back in 2020. AI was barely scratching the surface. Fast forward to today, things have exploded in v...

Great first week of development. I've updated the links to version 0.5.1a. I want to first touch on what versions mean, as some might be confused about whether it's a content update or not. Versions followed by a letter (#.#.#A) generally mean a hotfix or patch with minimal corrections. The number just before a letter means...

It feels good to be back in the hot seat again, with all my attention being on CH6 this cycle.
This weekend, I did a bit of relaxing as well as priming things to help streamline development. I've set things up so I can work remotely on the go regarding coding and writing. Writing especially since I enjoy a change in s...

Afternoon, everyone!
Hectic last week trying to catch up on things I had put aside for the last several months. Also doing some house cleaning with my workspace and my databases as I start archiving things from Chapter 5 and prepping things for Chapter 6. Still, a few things left to do. I ordered a bunch of watercooling parts to convert my...

Firstly, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone. Seriously, the reception for this latest chapter was overwhelmingly positive. Very happy to finally be at the point of the story kicking off. A lot of side-arcs I'm excited to start exploring.

I'm on track for October 30th release date! I'll give a proper change log on the release date but here's a few numbers
renders - 5,203 (this number may go up or down just by a few as I clean things up)
69 new tracks
33,506 words - This number felt low at first. But it'll make sense why once you've gone thr...

Will be updating the beta build later today. And while that is happening, continuing to sort the small list of things I need to tweak. Nothing major, just mostly tightening bolts and making sure nothing slipped. Short post today, I just wanted to pop in and keep everyone in the loop that things are still on track!

This week I'll be laying down the new tracks and sound effects into the code. The way things are looking, I want to say that CH5 will be released on Oct 30th. The week leading up to the 30th is more of a buffer to address anything that may have popped up, so should things look good before the 30th, I'll release sooner.
