Artemis DevLog - CH5

Happy Monday!

What a rush of a week. Just to get it out of the way, I'm personally happy with Artemis' performance over the weekend with Steam. Hiring a composer is priority now, but more on this in a bit.

Only thing I'm not satisfied with is the change in music. The selection I had to choose from wasn't great and they were composed at the same caliber as the artists from Artlist/Epidemic. Honestly, all this could have been avoided of these websites put something like "Yes, I am okay with my music being featured in NSFW works." when the artists are submitting their work to these sites. Bam, would have saved a number of us a lot of headaches because not all artists mind it but it's too much for these sites to inquire the artists on a case by case basis. But whatever, it's done with and I have the funds to hire a legitimate composer. And I'm real excited to seek out someone to collaborate with. Discuss key scenes especially and really create a "sound" that will hopefully make you think "Artemis" when you hear it. Even the sexy scenes, for example have a track that expresses anger and frustration during Cassie's scene in CH4. Or some a lot more subtle, romantic. Something that expresses anticipation and love for lewd scenes that involve Kindra's character. I love collaboration and I look forward to discussing scenes with the composer and seeing what we can create.

On the subject of music. The changes are also coming to Patreon version at some point (before the composer). So I want to remind everyone who still wants the original music to save these files in your current PATREON version now

Copy these files somewhere safe and copy them over to overwrite future updates. These are located in _Artemis/game/

If you experience no sound, this just means you were playing an older version. When the scene changes, you'll get the restored tracks. This is just until we get the newly composed tracks completed as I hope you have a better experience with Artemis this way.

SO! With Steam out the way now, finally. I can again add the t-shirts back on my list. I just wanted to remind everyone that has been waiting on them that it's something I'm working on now. Nothing has been thrown on sale yet, so no one missed out on anything. I'll keep everyone up to date on as things complete on that front.

And again, now that Steam is released and so far has seemed bug free (knock wood). This means I can pour all my focus with CH5 development.

I've said this so many times, but I truly am thankful for you all. It's still unbelievable how much Artemis is received. I am also thankful to the AVN community for accepting me so well. It's crazy when someone approaches me and says they're getting into this too because Artemis inspired them. One of those people is Meat Shield who I've become real close buddies with and he's been working away and creating his own visual novel. He just released his second chapter last month.

The title of his visual novel is Fog of War and he has a demo available to try out. Links to all his socials are on the main menu of his VN.

Thank you all and have yourselves a wonderful week!

Back to the grind!
