Happy Monday all!,
Business as usual this week. Just grinding away with development. While working, I've also been letting music play in the background and saving tracks I enjoyed. Around CH4, I had told myself to make CH5 trackless until the composer can compose the full soundtrack. But playing scenes without music is just so jarring for ...

Real sorry for the late post, I wanted to drop the 4.2 patch along with this devlog and I try not to bug you guys with too many notifications. I was curious about the memories section and glad I decided to double check it after clearing the persistent file. It took me a while to find a solution but I found one and works great...

What a week. Sometimes I wish I could just slip into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and just crank out as much as I can. But it's safe to say that I got through the Steam checklist last week. I just need to tighten up V's intro and insert the renders that I had to do to patch things up. The long awaited CH4 4.2 patch should be h...

The other week I mentioned fellow dev Classy Lemon helped arrange the trailer for me. Here is his game Projekt Passion. I'll let him take it from here.

I got a lot done last week in preparation for this week. This week I'm going to hammer out what is left with my Steam checklist, which isn't much. Some key things being resolving some minor CH4 issues (including the removal of the music from Chapters 1-3). Part of Chapter 4 work was me preparing for this change in music, whic...

Thanks everyone for wishlist boost for Steam. There was a nice spike last week. The trailer is in its final stage. Since music was chosen from CH1, which is still Artlist music. I decided to remove nudity from the trailer. Which wasn't even a problem at all, barely an inconvenience. Since there's was only like two frames ...

Another week zips by! I'll start with some mild bad news. I have to push back the Steam release a bit further. I've been mostly focused on CH5 and have not done much work on the Steam build as a result. It's been a bit stressful juggling both while trying not to make the CH5 another 9 month cycle. Doing my absolute best t...

This week sort of flew by me. Even now, I had to double-check if today was Monday. I believe I mentioned this before. But as I was working on scenes that didn't involve Artemis herself this week, I noticed how much her being in scenes really increases render times. Granted lighting in 3D space is a major factor in render time...
2023-02-06 21:23:10 +0000 UTC View PostOne of the many new locations being featured in CH5. Time to get out of the workshop and explore more of Central Pointe City.
2023-02-05 01:32:21 +0000 UTC View PostGood Monday to everyone,
been a busy morning. Spent most of it tweaking the new NAS and setting things up. It's now up and running with plenty of storage to shield Artemis from data issues (knocks wood).
Also, thanks for the feedback regarding future projects. Storytelling I've always enjoyed. I hadn't written anything in 10 years be...

I was working on a scene this week that I ended up having to back and correct. Basically, I accidentally disabled a light for one shot and forgot to enable it again for 4 others. While working on restoring the light, I was distracted, stepped away, and came back. And well sort of messed up one shot big time. Fortunately, I wa...

Things are steady on the development front. There's a feature I've been working on since chapter one. It's sort of a morality scale but, I guess not really a scale as it doesn't dial back depending on your actions. Both will increase as the story progresses. I'm still tweaking and I'll finally be putting it to the test this c...

I had my hands in everything last week, Steam preparation, 4.2 patch, CH5 development. Steam front of things; I initially set the release date to be end of January. There are still things to do on that front and if I were to stay on track that would mean I'd have to take a nice chunk from CH5 development which I don't want to...

Hope everyone stayed safe during the holidays!
I received the shirt just before leaving to see my family. The first thing that caught my eye was the color of the art. It looked slightly washed out and didn't have a vibrant color. During the holidays my friends and I managed to sync up and one of my buddies who is a g...

There's a lot of scenes that I'm excited to work on for this chapter and last week I got to mark one of them complete. On top of that, I have commissioned another track to be made. This one is Artemis' character theme. We're still working on the track, but it's coming along great and listening to the current draft had me twea...

For starters, I just want to say I just ordered a sample of DJ Kink's World Tour shirt. I just want to see how the quality is and what to expect after a few runs through the washer, etc. Basically, do a bit of quality assurance before making it available.
Also shoutout to someone in our community, dollie+, for working o...

Just a small update on CH5 progress. Looking at the scene outlines, CH5 is at 14 scenes so far and that's after some major revisions of scene layouts. Slightly concerning seeing how I'm trying to keep CH5 as contained as possible and not let scenes get too bloated. And there are still many scenes planned, so I need to rev...

This week was fairly short for me with the holidays and visiting family. Though I still managed to get some things done.
While away, I had some time to mess around. I tested Artemis on a laptop with a controller. Not sure how many of you play on a controller, but I actually enjoyed playing a VN on a controller. Some...

Pretty intense week juggling multiple things. While that sounds like complaining, I'm not. I like to think I perform better when my to-do list is stacked. First off, Artemis store page is now live on Steam. The release date shows Q1 2023, though the release is scheduled to go live on Jan 31st, 2023. I placed Q1 2023 in case I...

I’ve been dividing my time fairly well this week. The final patch for Chapter 4 should be coming soon. It’s mostly spelling errors, the revised LI backgrounds for DataLeaks, misc UI changes. So I’m not trying to prioritize it over the other things too much. But it’s still high on the list to see done. Only a few more ...
2022-11-14 20:29:50 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! Now that we've gotten to know the girls a little more. I've been curious about of where they stand after getting to know them after four chapters!
You can vote on more than one of course.

Last week was the last part of my vacation, but I still did some work here and there with Artemis. I manage to complete the first checklist required by Steam. All that really remains is building the trailer and a functional Steam build (achievements as well). I also wrote a script for a trailer and look forward to pi...

Thank you for all the comments and messages left regarding the recent chapter. A lot of work was put into this one and I am glad it is finally released. The Mac versions seem to be giving issues it seems. I had one person mention having an issue with the patch, so I'll be restoring the 4.1 download link for Mac users while I ...
2022-10-24 07:03:26 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! After giving some thought, I decided to release CH4 today instead of Friday. The reason being is I have a corneal cross-linking procedure today for my right eye (I have keratoconus an eye disease for those new here). And I'm not sure what state of mind I'll be in on Friday. So felt it best not to chance missing the date. Hope you e...
