_Artemis Development Log
Added 2022-03-14 07:16:40 +0000 UTCGood morin'!
This week was great progress on the script. I have an overall roadmap of how the story progresses. But some things tend to change as I sometimes go a different direction than planned. On top of that, crafting the dialogue is another hurdle that I generally take my time on. Though this past week I was able to get a nice chunk done, so I'll be putting the script aside while I start working on the story renders. And back to work on the script once I've caught up on story renders.
I also looked into a couple bugs reported sometime last week. The bug occurs when MC visits the INK house and wonders if Zelda is home. Depending on how your date went in CH2, the bug prevents you from stopping by her room before seeing June. Which will make you miss the opportunity to accept her movie date that's planned for CH4. I updated the release post. So, if you paid her a visit in CH3, where she offered you candy. You're okay. If MC mentioned her but did not give the option to see her, grab the hotfix and load a save point before you visit the INK home and you'll get the scene.
As I'm working on the script, I'm taking note of the girls who get SD Card renders. But I'm having a hard time deciding who to do for the QR Code renders. For those unaware, each chapter has a QR code to scan and download a hidden render. They're different from the SD Cards and are easier to spot. Naomi's badge in CH1. The Halloween invitation in CH2 and Kindra's poster with her posing with Lexi in CH3. Later today, I'll be setting up a poll to choose which girl to feature for the QR code render. (All girls are featured in this poll).
Last thing. Next Wednesday will mark one year since I released Chapter 1 for Artemis. And it has been such an amazing year, all thanks to you guys. I'm still working on DJ Kink's visor. But I also wanted to have a little QA for anyone interested. Could be about me or the project itself, Artemis. So, if you have any questions you'd like ask. Type them as a comment and on Wednesday March 23rd, I'll make a post answering your questions.
So, this week I'll be working on scenes I've written out and setting up any props I need for these scenes.
Look forward to CH4 previews this week! :)
Thank you everyone and have yourselves a great week!

Since questions seem to be slow to come in, here are a few more: - which Artemis song is your favorite so far - which in game gadget/tool would be most useful in (your) daily life? - would you rather move in with Kindra or with the INKs? - what would you do, if you didn't make video games? - which drugs was whoever designed Kindras glass walled bathroom on? - follow up. Where does Kindras place come from? It seems to small to have been build by her parents as a flat and is clearly not cut out to house a family with a young child. But it's directly connected to their underground bunker... Was it originally used for some other purpose? Then who designed and build the remodel? Does Kindra have a secret group of designers/builders hidden somewhere? Is Kindra secretly the leader of some secret construction worker organization?π€―

2022-03-17 00:16:45 +0000 UTChere are a couple of questions I'd be interested in. - Are you flying solo or is there a team behind Artemis? - What where your inspirations in terms of visuals (This question mainly aims to discover other cool looking stuff I can look at :) - How many chapters do you thing this story will be in the end? - Have you spend any time thinking about possible follow up projects? If so, are they more likely to be set in the same world as Artemis or something completely new? - How did you learn to create VNs? (links to tutorials/resources would be appreciated) - What does you tech stack up look like in terms of hard- and software?

2022-03-14 12:56:15 +0000 UTCi honestly cannot wait.. i recently caught up on LoF and you cant believe the giddy 40 y/o fan boy in me when i saw DJ Kink cameo.. the scene was so well done and i loved the 'twin' mc injoke during the scene.. it made me realise that no matter how many avn's i go through there are very few.. (VERY FEW) that have the ability to invoke that level of fun and emotional attachment like that i feel for this project.. Its a testament to you and your team for creating such an amazing narrative and characters that give off such an amazing feeling while reading them.. I dunno if you know of each other but one of the other few authors who can do this is MisterMaya and i'd love to see them join your 'crossover cameo' as well as of course the usual suspects like chasing sunsets characters, LoF and so on.. I think with characters like DJ Kink, Lexi etc there is a possibility to use them widespread given the nature of their characters to 'exist' outside of the base narrative and id love to see more of that spring up in other quality work out there.. You continue to amaze me and for that i thank you
