Happy new week!

I'm on track for October 30th release date! I'll give a proper change log on the release date but here's a few numbers

renders - 5,203 (this number may go up or down just by a few as I clean things up)

69 new tracks

33,506 words - This number felt low at first. But it'll make sense why once you've gone through this chapter.

The update will be about 3.5GB

I also feel I need to mention this chapter features only one lewd scene. I remember one guy being furious when ch3 dropped and there were only two and his tantrum gave me a chuckle. At this point though, it's safe to say Artemis is more story focused and lewds will come naturally. Depending on the character and how much has been invested in them thus far.

That said, this is a story heavy chapter. Book One ended an arc and Book Two continues the story and introduces another major arc. I was originally going to make CH5 shorter due to the amount of work I did recoding Book One to be controller and SteamDeck friendly for the Steam release, amongst other things. But even with so much fat trimmed, I can only trim so much for sake of story beat. Each chapter is laid out to bring each book to a conclusion and sets a foundation for the next book. But I am so relieved to finally be at this point. This has truly been development hell and I am looking forward to starting fresh with Chapter 6, once 5 has been released. But enough of that, we're 7 days away and I am really excited to release this next chapter!

In the next couple of weeks, I'll collect questions from anyone wanting to know more about Artemis, myself or future projects and answer them around the end of November.

Thank you again for your patience and support. I look forward to a nice break and hanging out with everyone again in Discord voice chats.

See you all next week and have yourselves a safe one!

I can't wait. Glad you survived Hell. You really must have an infernal engine for a heart.

Can't wait! This is by far my favorite AVN! Keep up the good work. Also...T-shirts?

Actual Bird Man

Is this update going to be released to steam on the 30th as well?

was hoping this would be a true AVN - suppose we can all go back to read Playboy for the intellectual content

It is weird in AVN, but I do not care about frequency of lewd scenes as far they make sense...

Griffin

I'll be brutally honest; I am a little concerned at this dev news. In a vacuum 33,506 lines of dialogue and only 1 lewd scene for this update may not seem too bad, but when you factor in over a year for the update.... feels like the story beats for this chapter should be massive. Just to be clear, I'm less concerned about the quality of the work and more about the pacing of the work going forward.

Wonderfull news !

I really like a good story. If and when skinnydipping occurs yore more invested in the characters. (otherwise were back to the old p-flicks, here comes the plumber..)

Lars Lund Andersen

I would rather have lewd scenes that develop naturally from the story than them feeling forced in. And the story has been great so far, so you have nothing to worry about Digi. I'm really looking forward to seeing the results of your hellish endeavour

"69 new tracks" .. I'm NOT gonna say *that*, but damn, that's a lot of new tracks! Love me some good tunes to listen to, AVNs introduced me to a lot of music I wouldn't normally listen to. :) As for the word count and lack of lewd scenes.. Guess we'll have to see the final result, but I'm not worried. You already proved that you know how to deliver. And besides, I generally prefer much more obscene content, like hugs & hand holding over lewds. Oh, the depravity! Thanks for the update, digi.

Shirts are still in the plans! I had to put it aside earlier to keep all focus on getting the release out first.

digi.B

Unfortunately, no. Steam and Patreon are different platforms. On the Steam page for Artemis, it states the books following Book 1 will be released. So once Book 2 is completed, it will go on Steam.

Thanks, I see your concern, and is a valid one. Which is why I have been stressing over the timeline since summer. But most people forget about the amount of work and time I put into getting Artemis Book One on Steam, which took a few months from my regular schedule. Once Steam got released I shifted focus back on CH5 and have been working diligently on it since. I have kept everyone informed of this though through my earlier dev logs this year, so for most, it is not something that I am only now bringing up.

Hopefully, I can find me a decent mechanic to fix me up before starting Ch6!

Actual Bird Man

Thank you! I'll make sure to play it here then

BurntLimpet

Just wanted to say, keep backing your judgement, story is what we are all loving, lewds are great fun bonus, but not what I keep coming back for!!

damnedcomic

Awesome! So excited! Don't burn yourself out.

Nebulous Shooter

33,506 words, does that include code lines, or just dialogue/inner monologue?

digi.B

just dialogue/inner.

Crowangel Gaming
