_Artemis Development Log

Happy Monday, y'all!

This week was more work on scenes and converting assets to be used in DAZ. One of those which were shown off in Ava's render last week. I do acknowledge the appreciation a number of you have for her character. Without saying too much, there's still more content to be seen with her. I also liked the comment about a spinoff for Ava. Artemis is still a ways from completion, but perhaps once Artemis is completed and while working on the worldbuilding of my next project (whatever that may be). Working on a short 1 or 2 chapter spinoff would be fun, during the gap between finishing Artemis and starting the next project.

With CH4 being a very significant chapter for a number of reasons, there are a number of things I'm addressing. Things such as going back to the previous chapters and updating some code, and removing a few unused assets. I originally was going to implement texting that would yield bonus renders/scenes. But I ultimately left it out since I felt there was enough going on already. Anyway, I'm tidying things up the best I can while working on CH4 since chapters 1-4 will make up Book 1 of Artemis. And Book 1 will be made available for Steam. I'm also planning a trailer which is required for Steam. It's still in the planning stage, but I look forward to working on it. I haven't done film editing in a long while, so Artemis' trailer will probably have a few takes before I'm happy with it. The trailer will feature some renders of CH4, but don't worry. There won't be anything considered a spoiler, even for chapters 1-3. Really annoys me when I'm watching a trailer for a movie and they shove every highlight of the film across 3 trailers. So, I'll be sure to not make the same mistake.

Overall a great week. I'm at 554 story renders with another animation completed. My focus will continue to be on story renders this week. I also have a bit of code I need to work on as well that I've been putting off.

I also will be cleaning up the Patreon page a bit and making it easier to navigate (hopefully). I apologize if anything comes off as confusing with how I set up the page and tiers or the wording.

And lastly, I attached a 4k render of this week's Dev Log image without the text.

Have yourselves a great week!
