И коммент от фана: Elegant and hot bitch, with an attitude and a sharp tongue, and with the appearance of a goddess.
And at the same time can be gentle, affectionate and caring for you
It is impossible not to fall in love with such a girl
For Ocean, Bella will be the biggest problem, it was impossible to create such a character in the first season. She just doesn't leave any chances for other girls.

Фан: when we go to Lucy and we are in bed with her, we have a choice to accept or reject her, if we accept does it close all the other paths with the existing LIs?
DB: Yes. It closes off the other paths.

Hi, guys.
As promised, a brief report on what I've been working on this week.
- Fixed various small issues in v0.13 and built a new version for release (это 13.1).
- Added a new quit screen featuring Charlotte. It will replace the current one after you've played past that point in the story.
- Started work on the three teaser images for v0.14. I'll post those next week.
- Rewritten the main code to make it clearer and easier to understand.
The rest of my time has been spent finalizing the remaining story. While I did have the basic plot worked out, things have evolved a lot since I wrote it .
For example, I hadn't originally planned on including Charlotte's mother, but since mentioning her, people have asked if she will appear. Well, now she will and I'll also go back and add a few more references to her and some phone calls between her and the rest of the family.
Thanks for your support,
DB​

Chapter 5 - Dev Log #4
Yo,
So, how's it looking...
I'm around 935 renders in. I didn't make the four-digits, but that's alright as other aspects of the game are now in active development too. (The phone.)

Regarding the Super big boi Workstation.
Quote from WiAB's last Log:
"I came really close to the 48GB with a WiAB scene. But to be fair, I did go into that scene guns blazing with no regard for VRAM casualties.
Still, without the A6000 I couldn't even produce the current scenes. (But I need more of them to increase speed.)
So, regarding the Super big boi Workstation.
I won't get it.
Not because of my finances or anything support related... We didn't even get to that point.
But because of German bureaucracy and the fact that I moved across the country and still wasn't able to declare my new place at the gov.
(I got an appointment 7 months from when I moved to my current place.
So they couldn't even ask the bank without me having the proper address on my ID.)
I will contact them again in August & hope I will then get the green light."

So yeah, it'll take a while until I get the chance to upgrade again.
As mentioned above, the work on the phone has begun. Good boi Messe has created a lot of fantastic-looking UIs for me.
The coding part is definitely the hardest, as I'm still doing it myself. But I'm getting there.

Here's the current main menu.


Progress is pretty fast, even though the phone takes quite a few hours away from setting up scenes atm.

Previews - 4K attached

(If you wanna see this Nia image without the shorts. Here's the Treat.)

An angry beanpole.

A not-so-angry beanpole.


Some occassional Bellchen

Progress is faster than I anticipated. I might add the last part of the Rework to the Beta version because there's one change that is addressed in Chapter 5 and might confuse the player who made a certain choice.

Oh, and I finally got a bed.
I've been sleeping on the ground for the past 4 months since delivery times were beyond reasonable.
But finally, I can stop cosplaying a person with scoliosis.

I'll see you in two weeks... I'm really looking forward to the next scene I'll start rendering in 2-3 days.
Maybe I'll drop a preview of said scene in the next log

V0.14 Plans
Hi, guys.
People are starting to ask for a release date for v0.14, so I wanted to let you know what my plans are (but no release date yet!).
I said before starting v0.13 that, after it was finished, I would spend some time fixing various issues and things I wasn't happy with, and that is still my plan.
Once that is done, I will add some new content to continue the story.
I don't currently know how long it is going to take me, but it definitely won't be as long as the last update. I know people won't be happy waiting too long to find out what happens next.
I'll make regular posts letting you know what I've been up to, and will post the first three teasers from v0.14 before the end of the month once everyone has had a chance to play v0.13.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks for your support,
DB

Фан: I hate these super big boobs, they really don´t see real, i know is a ficticial game but i always try to play the inmersivest way posiible, and with this characters so "unrealistic" i can´t do it .
I´m okey with characters with big boobs, i like the diversity but they are too big for a real person,
Оушен: It's not unrealistic.
Is it extremely uncommon? Yes, definitely.
Might Helen need Victoria's wheelchair in the future, if she didn't train enough lower back? Possible.
Фан: even i don´t remember boobs of Helen were so big in last episode, why Ocean can´t stay still an let the character stay the same in all episodes? i don´t understand the necessity of change their tits always.
Оушен: I didn't change her boobs.
What was changed is just the dress, the angles & perspective.
Ch1

Ch2

Helen won't be changed.
I want her to be extraordinary. She's closer to one extreme in that regard.
You don't like how she currently is?
Sorry, but tough luck.
There are enough other girls with far smaller bodies/tiddies, and if they're not of interest to you, there are enough other games to play.
Ответ фана: You are right, comparing the two images you can see that they have the same breasts, a priori it gave the impression that in the last capture they had been increased. I understand the idea of turning Helen into a unique character, just as you do with Nami in Summer's Gone, to which to increase her breasts would be to take away a piece of her personality... Even so, I still maintain the idea that the excessively large breasts that you like to do so much do not look good, but that is my opinion and this is your game , Even so, I appreciate the explanation and the comparison.

Chapter 3 - Dev Log #9
Yo,
So... Where are we...
WIAB's going along at its bibi pace. I probably had a record day last week with 82 renders for WiAB in one day.
It took 120h to render out. (5 days).
The A6000's speed is definitely a strong limiting factor at the moment.
"So why did you dumbass get it then?"
That's why.
I came really close to the 48GB with a WiAB scene. But to be fair, I did go into that scene guns blazing with no regard for VRAM casualties.
Still, without the A6000 I couldn't even produce the current scenes. (But I need more of them to increase speed.)
So, regarding the Super big boi Workstation.
I won't get it.
Not because of my finances or anything support related... We didn't even get to that point.
But because of German bureaucracy and the fact that I moved across the country and still wasn't able to declare my new place at the gov.
(I got an appointment 7 months from when I moved to my current place. So they couldn't even ask the bank without me having the proper address on my ID.)
I will contact them again in August & hope I will then get the green light.
I will also put WiAB on Steam with the release after Chapter 3.
Treats
So, last time I published some Daphne vs Katarina treats.
I'm not surprised that cutie Daphne won.

With the next Log, I will publish a few additional spicy Daphne treats.
Previews:
I kinda liked this render.



I can't give proper info about when the release will be... Just because of the time it takes to render a day's worth of WiAB renders.
Someday in the near future, I will just drop a release announcement one day prior to the release.
4K for all images attached.

Artemis DevLog - CH5
Happy Monday!
What a rush of a week. Just to get it out of the way, I'm personally happy with Artemis' performance over the weekend with Steam. Hiring a composer is priority now, but more on this in a bit.
Only thing I'm not satisfied with is the change in music. The selection I had to choose from wasn't great and they were composed at the same caliber as the artists from Artlist/Epidemic. Honestly, all this could have been avoided of these websites put something like "Yes, I am okay with my music being featured in NSFW works." when the artists are submitting their work to these sites. Bam, would have saved a number of us a lot of headaches because not all artists mind it but it's too much for these sites to inquire the artists on a case by case basis. But whatever, it's done with and I have the funds to hire a legitimate composer. And I'm real excited to seek out someone to collaborate with. Discuss key scenes especially and really create a "sound" that will hopefully make you think "Artemis" when you hear it. Even the sexy scenes, for example have a track that expresses anger and frustration during Cassie's scene in CH4. Or some a lot more subtle, romantic. Something that expresses anticipation and love for lewd scenes that involve Kindra's character. I love collaboration and I look forward to discussing scenes with the composer and seeing what we can create.

On the subject of music. The changes are also coming to Patreon version at some point (before the composer). So I want to remind everyone who still wants the original music to save these files in your current PATREON version now

Copy these files somewhere safe and copy them over to overwrite future updates. These are located in _Artemis/game/
If you experience no sound, this just means you were playing an older version. When the scene changes, you'll get the restored tracks. This is just until we get the newly composed tracks completed as I hope you have a better experience with Artemis this way.

SO! With Steam out the way now, finally. I can again add the t-shirts back on my list. I just wanted to remind everyone that has been waiting on them that it's something I'm working on now. Nothing has been thrown on sale yet, so no one missed out on anything. I'll keep everyone up to date on as things complete on that front.
And again, now that Steam is released and so far has seemed bug free (knock wood). This means I can pour all my focus with CH5 development.

I've said this so many times, but I truly am thankful for you all. It's still unbelievable how much Artemis is received. I am also thankful to the AVN community for accepting me so well. It's crazy when someone approaches me and says they're getting into this too because Artemis inspired them. One of those people is Meat Shield who I've become real close buddies with and he's been working away and creating his own visual novel. He just released his second chapter last month.
The title of his visual novel is Fog of War and he has a demo available to try out. Links to all his socials are on the main menu of his VN.
Fog of War Demo
Thank you all and have yourselves a wonderful week!
Back to the grind!

[0.6] - Sneak peek #2

A house. A murder. 6 suspects. A strange gathering where nothing is what it seems and where only you can solve the mystery
Will you have what it takes...?
Hello everyone!
In this 2nd batch of previews, I posted a few random out-of-context pics from a scene I've been working on so you can start theorizing what the hell is going on there
Apart from the little quote above, I won't give any extra info about it because I think playing it without knowing much is more fun!
And we also have a pic of our favorite elven Princess because why not
Development is going well, there are already +700 renders done, but still a lot of them to do! I think this one will be an update with lots of memorable scenes, both lewd and story-wise!
I can only thank you for all your support and for being the best supporters ever
Remember that you can DM me or leave a comment if you have any questions!
We keep on grinding!
See you soon and stay awesome!
