Am I the only one who thinks that the last chapter was too short? I mean, I see all the paths by playing modded and we interacted with fewer characters than the previous chapter, but it seems like I played about 2000 instead of 5600 renders.

Yes, I'm a degenerate pirate and my opinion does not count in the least. That said, I am getting a little annoyed with mini-games... The better versions of some scenes hide behind them and, while some are reasonably easy to deal with, word scrambles are just a step too far! :LOL:

The fruits were pretty easy, and most of the "electronics" weren't bad, but when your brain is fried from the rest of the day, a simple word like "earbuds" (which is either periphery or part of an audio monitoring system to me...) sometimes just won't gel. And the fact that you can't roll back on these is also annoying as fuck. Maybe if I were an Apple-fritter-away-my-money-on-unnecessary-and-over-expensive-tech guy, I might think of "earbuds". But why would someone making a VN for mostly PC players think we'd all have that pop right on into our heads?!

Only a semi-serious rant, but if a Dev insists on mini-games, they should be limited to things easily done with a mouse or pointer keys! The shooting was fun, and once I figured out what was going on with the sparring, not so bad. But effing word scrambles?!?!?!?! :ROFLMAO:
I tend to avoid sandbox games because I'm no grinding for hours in some shitty vn. But Artemis is not bad in that regard, just some optional shit here and there.

Well, it's still early here and I'm not all that clear headed this morning - still waiting on that first cuppa. I just had to say, though. This page was an interesting first read of the morning! ThorinKing apparently hates games. Who woulda thunk it? Kinda like that guy that hates cans? That guy went postal but I'm pretty sure TK is a lot calmer than that! The new guy is complaining about short? People, pages, sheets? I wasn't sure but I'm pretty tall and feel bad for short people like Kendra but I hear the air is thicker down there so, maybe she'll live longer? Good for you, HP. Always so agreeable! Keep up the good work, m8. Ragnar! Long time, man. How the hell are ya? I gave up playing in the sandbox too. That shit just gets into everything and it's itchy as hell when it does. Oh! Coffee's ready! L8r, guys.

Yeah it's been a minute since I played it, but I recall being able to play through it in one day. Usually it takes a couple days for me to play through this one's updates.

That's why mods exist :p
Also wdym can't roll back ? You can roll back easy: just make a save before the timer begin. Load if you fail. Done. When mini-games annoy you, save scumming saves you.

Artemis DevLog CH6

Happy New Week!
Right off the bat, I want to inform everyone that Koko is finally being added to the Dataleak roster for special renders. Many of you have been spamming my DMs about it since CH1. So, here she is.
Sorry. Just kidding. It's April 1st, as most of you know :)
Last week has been an uneventful week with mostly posing and rendering. Alongside some coding. Testing a couple of things with the code last week as well. One of them is a feature I hope to implement, aiming to make more use of the wallpaper feature when unlocking them. Another is story-related that I hope I can pull off because it would really elevate the scene I need it for a lot. Granted the scene itself is impactful by itself. It's not a minigame or anything like that, but if I can dial it in just right. I think it'd be really cool.
I do have some unfortunate news about the translation. I've decided I won't be working on it any further. I've got enough on my plate as I'm trying to focus most of my time on getting CH6 out the door. The translation just required too much of my attention, and I just had to shut it down for now. I can't say when I'll start it up again, as every development cycle, there's a lot to do. Same reason why I haven't done an official walkthrough. There's a lot to juggle each cycle Some of the extra things like translation, walkthrough often I rely on others to complete but end up falling short. Primarily why I work solo as its difficult to have like minds align.
That wraps it up for this week. Also, it's rare we get a devlog on the first of the month. So, I wanted to share this preview
Artificial life, exploring natural life.

Have yourselves a wonderful week.

damn seems like forever since last update..and it was 4 months ago..probably be at least that much more before next update..maybe longer..until then, just have to keep replaying from the beginning over and over to get my Artemis fix.
this is one of the few games that i can replay without ever getting bored.
but i do wish the updates came out faster..like all of us here i am guessing..
