_Artemis Status Update

Happy Monday!

What a week it's been. I'll start with some bad news that occurred on Friday evening. The motherboard on my PC died, while I was doing my quarterly maintenance. I'm still unsure how, but I acted quick and got things back online Saturday afternoon. Artemis itself is safe, I always stress about contingencies. Which is why I have the entire Artemis project on a NAS, and is also backed up daily. I'm on an older board and CPU at the moment, until ASUS gets back to me about my busted board (still under warranty!). Overall productivity isn't impacted by the older board. So, nothing terribly tragic. But I want to be transparent about things that go on that relate to Artemis and its development. Big or small.

Alrighty, now for the poll results! Katy held a strong lead since day 1 of the poll, haha. It got a little close the week after, with Paige and Zoe coming after Zelda. However, Zelda prevailed. So lets give it up for Katy and Zelda for winning our first poll! Their content each will be in the form of a hangout. And a reminder, you'll have the option to decline hanging out with either of them if you're not interested.

I'll be pushing another poll this week. I wouldn't really call it a poll, but something that will help me understand what kind of positions you'd like to see more of in general. This is in regard to lewd scenes. CH1 had pretty much vanilla positions.

As for Chapter 2 progress itself, I completed the outline for Chapter 2 with a total of 30 scenes. There are a couple I feel I might add, but Chapter 2 outline is considered complete now. Dialogue still needs to be fleshed out for 20 of those scenes, but I have plenty of notes and the outlines will help greatly on getting the dialogue just right. Once the script itself is finalized with dialogue and actions, it's literally just a matter of posing and rendering from there! And of course animating :) 

As I worked on the outline this week, I squeezed in another scene to render. This scene is longer and required more setup. So I'm about 52 renders in for this particular scene. Looking at the script for this one, I'm about halfway through it.

I plan to work on implementing two small features. One is having the option to change your name and and the other being able to name your saves for better playthrough organization. Although I won't work on these until CH2 is close to Alpha stage.

Also, I'll be releasing three more wallpapers later this week for the 100 patron celebration. This batch will feature Zoe, Reina and Paige.

Have a wonderful week everyone!
