Artemis DevLog CH6 (Patreon)

Hey everyone,

had my hands in everything this week. Catching up on code, more asset conversions and organizing what I have left.

Someone reached out to me about playing Artemis on their YouTube channel and I have no problem with it. But it made me think about it and I checked out another person doing a let's play (the previous person hadn't uploaded their playthrough). They played Chapter 5 and it was fun seeing their thought process when it comes to choices. Especially regarding Artemis' discernment protocol. Their primary focus were the icons and not necessarily deciding based on the choice itself.

I mentioned before I took your guys feedback on the choices and focused less on things that come off mean and more about situations that Artemis would interpret. Here's an example.

One of your first choices in CH6 is how you respond to this situation while Artemis is observing your actions. This way I feel there's more thought on the choices as opposed to being tempted by the icons. Some choices are pretty obvious like the one below. But there are other situations where there are more than two choices to mix things up. For the minmaxers such as myself, you can still track your points in the Artemis app in your phone.

Just keep in mind, it's more about balance than pumping all points to either score. I'll be revising the words to better outline how it works during her initial meeting in CH5.

 I also touched base with our boy Puggy today. He was big help animating the satellite for me for CH5 and I'm hiring him again for another animation this chapter. This animation will occur on CH6's conclusion (keeping it a little surprise for now. Gave him the shakedown to not spill the beans)

That wraps it up for last week. Please be safe out there, especially my neighbors down south in LA county. The aftermath of the fires is heartbreaking to see...
