Hello World!

Slightly long post, or not. I'll try to keep it bite-sized.

Any who, this week has been very exciting! I started this project back in August 2020. I knew nothing of Ren'Py, but had a decent background in coding (more as a hobby). So I spent much of August learning and figuring out what story I'd be telling. Much has changed from the initial click of "Launch Project". From a very standard UI, stiff animations, bad lighting (albeit still. but I'm working on it!). To something very polished and satisfying to look at.

It's been quite the journey. I've had my video card die on me last month (Jan '21), My file management was poor when I first began, so I had to completely redo the entire opening scene (i cry). Many hours/days figuring out how to code a feature or method. Having to redo some animations because of x reasons. Now, six months later I feel confident in every aspect of what I'm doing. Still plenty to learn and optimize, but compared to six months ago...whoo wee. I don't feel as nervous anymore.

Anyways, I want to keep this short and just make my first post with a vague screenshot of the BTS of Artemis. Looking over it, it's kind of cool to see the long road from then and now. Remeniscing the beginnings and the journey. As I said before, this week is very exciting as I am working on the final scene of the first chapter for Artemis (It's kind of a big one, which in reality should be three scenes. But it's three different scenes all occuring at once).. Still some polishing of the UI to do, revising some code and a few other things before this initial launch. But the meat of the this first release is nearly cooked!

I look forward to writing the next updating with the release of Artemis' first chapter!

take care all,
