_Artemis Development Log

Good morning!

Busier week than usual with development. With my list of to-dos gradually depleting, things are entering that hyper-focused stage where I'm constantly going over things and seeing what I missed (renders/animations/code/features/etc.) as I continue with the remaining scenes. This means I have put aside extra things as I'm trying to stay focused. One of those things was the Steam release. I've decided that I am going to hold off and align it to be launched with Chapter 4's release. Chapter 4 is a big chapter that's being planned and having Chapters 1-4 on Steam will be a lot better anyways. So, to stay focused on Chapter 3 and just an overall better time to release, I'm holding off on it. I've actually haven't even worked on that in over a month because it just hasn't been on my priority list. The second item I had to set aside are the shirts. I still plan on doing them and I'll be going through a third-party site to set them up and make them available for anyone who wants one. For those new, it was suggested by one of you to make a DJ Kink shirt and I thought it was a great idea. But I've been really busy with development and haven't resumed working on the shirts. So that will also be back on the plate after Chapter 3's update.

I apologize if I haven't responded to DMs or been on Discord as often lately. It's the same as when Chapter 2 was at this stage of development where I kept focus on development until release. Big thanks to Discord mods for helping keep things running there and keeping you guys entertained. Also, same reason for the other items I've had to set aside. I'll also finish up the "Good Morning" and "Good Night" renders for those on Discord. They're real fun to make, so I like to take my time on them. But with Chapter 3 getting closer and closer to completion, those too have to be put on hold.

I completed 337 renders this week tallying up the renders to date at 2,157. Two animations were also completed this week. There are six scenes that remain for Chapter 3. And my goal this week is to try to complete at least three scenes. I will assure nothing will be rushed though. We're getting closer and closer and I thank everyone for their patience!

I also worked a bit on the music room. It was mentioned that the new music room would make a great wallpaper. So, I added it to the queue and rendered it in 4K for those who want it. I've attached it to this post.

Look forward to more previews this week!

and of course, have yourselves a wonderful week!
