Decided to give it a whirl, and enjoyed 0.1.2 to the point where i had to go and give digi_b the support. It's well put together, and you can tell digi_b is aiming for quality over quantity, which im fine with.
So for us purchasers on Itch, 0.4.1 IS book 1 on steam with 4 chapters! But on Itch it's just called 0.4.1, Mmm! I hope this doesn't mean Itch customers have to wait for the whole of book 2 to be finished before it's released, like on Steam!
given itch changed their policy, it's entirely possible, we won't get anything here, going forward. at least 1 other vn is no longer available for new purchase, because of the itch policy change(away from allowing adult content). IF digi_b can continue to provide updates here, they likely will continue the same way they've been done up til now, unless and until digi_b says otherwise. steam is a different platform and likely will be handled the way they want things handled. this one, the ball appears to be in itch.io's court, and it's up to them to decide how far they will be pushing their policy.
Well, Digi_B must know who has bought the game. So either give them a Steam Key, or email them individually with a download link where they can download the next update. Now he has it on sale on Steam, he can't make it a free game, which gets around the Itch deal!
the only way digi_b can just give previous buyers a steam key is if that was negotiated with steam, prior to it being added. it's highly unlikely they'd accept the idea of "giving away" that many keys, right after steam launch. but, again, that's between digi_b and steam, and whatever they agreed to. and from what i read on the other page, making the game free wouldn't be enough for itch's new policy.
Loved this game, sadly super underrated I would put this one on the podio next to Eternum and being a dik, develloper deserves a lot more! The facial expressions and humor are on point, carisma of the characters as well, cant wait to see what is comming!
I wondered about the same thing and got a somewhat angry response (not by the develloper) that it's still going on, as the news come when chapters drop and chapters take on average 6 months to make, so hang in here with us, it's coming.
i think people realize how long it takes to develop a good story and are trying to be patient. too many comments, too often, tends to create some stress and i know, personally, i'd rather wait 10 months for a really good, to great, chapter, than have it in 5 months, and have it not hold up to what's gone before. let digi_b have the time to do the job right and enjoy it when it arrives. you can always play the first 4 chapters over again, and follow the different paths available, if you didn't, while playing through it the first time, using multiple saves. it's worth seeing the divergent paths and what they bring
Ch5 seem to be in development based on the Patreon posts. I also can't wait for an update here on itch... been really quiet for over two years now. :3 0.1.2 came out march 2021 according to the dates above
Just a heads up- The Mac port of the chapter 4 download has a serious save corruption bug. I've had to speed run back to where I was several times now because my most recent saves were corrupted and made the game shit the bed. Not an issue I'm used to having with a Renpy game.
it took from january of 2022, til october of 2022, to create and release chapter 4. it's been 6 months since 4 released. why would you think the game was dead, when the last chapter took almost 10 months, and we're only at 6, so far, on chapter 5?
I've known about this game for just some months, I'm not a follower of the first hour, and it's far from being the only game I follow, so the news about it are drowned underneath news from other games, some that share news way more frequently. Not to say I didn't see them, but that in comparison this one doesn't look that active. I wasn't saying the game was dead, I was asking for confirmation that it's still being developped, because I just played the demo and I really liked it.
do you prefer hourly updates on the status of the next chapter, or actual development work on the next chapter? this appears to be a 1 person operation, and digi_b, so far, has turned out a pretty high quality product, with regard to story. i'll take well conceived storyline over frequent updates, any day. even if there are 2 or 3 people, behind the scenes, helping develop it all. some devs like to talk a lot about what they are doing. digi_b sees to prefer doing it and doing it well.
have you played beyond chapter 1? or are you talking about through chapter 4, when you say "demo"? the first part is good, no doubt. but this story actually gets better as you progress. and for chapter 5 to get better than 4, it's going to take some work, so it's going to take time.
I don't prefer regular and close updates, I'm more used to regular and close updates. Are you criticizing my habits when it comes to update frequency from projects I follow? Really?
After resisting temptation for a while, but inspired by all of the positive reviews, I finally purchased the first 4 Chapters yesterday. I’m already hooked by the end of Chapter One. Soooo many positives about this game - I’m especially enjoying the humour that offsets a serious storyline.
Really looking forward to continuing the journey and seeing where this takes me. Well done to the developer for some truly excellent design work.
Read through 0.1.2 a few years ago and just found the updates, bought Chapter 4 immediately. Possibly my favorite Renpy graphic novel to date. Keep up the great writing and art por favor!
Looks like it took him 5 months to come out with Ch3, then 9 months to come out with Ch4. So far I've read through Ch1 and it was amazing. I can't wait to start Ch2 tonight. If I had to make a guess about Ch5, I'd guess around 6-9 months, so maybe somewhere between next month and July.
I didn't even make it through Ch2 last night, but so far it's been fantastic also. I personally hope he finishes it because it's already becoming one of my favorite adult VNs. The story is great!
Totally agree. Only VN with real eating animation: food goes on fork, some food disappears off the plate, fork goes in mouth, comes out empty, food goes on fork, another piece of food disappears, etc!!! With most VNs a character says "let's eat", then the next scene the plates are empty, and the characters say "I am full", even in great AVNs like Leap of Faith! I can see why updates take a while if he animates to that level of detail!
Hey from what i read comment s and gathered i can see that it is one of the best avn, with great story and graphic wise without even playing it, but it's description put me off a bit, is mc a sore loser or something? Just getting fucked over by a bitch and mourning over it for 3 fucking years, seems like a complete waste loser, even shittiest ass gets over cheating of a bitch in few months, here this bum mc putting this one off for me, can anyone confirm is mc complete loser or he become better in future?
He's down in the dumps. Everyone goes there from time to time. That is one aspect of this VN that makes it relatable. He isn't necessarily a whiner, and he does get his groove back. He is actually an enjoyable character with flaws but also strengths. Unless all you are looking for is some young stud constantly involved in sex scenes, I am quite sure you will find the entertainment and merit in this excellent VN.
Hmmm well what you expect me to expect in avn is actually a fantasy of many but really doesn't exist or maybe i don't got any such avn till now barring 1,2 which become shit recently, so even if i would love to expect what you think i would, i actually don't anymore, since that's bigger fanatsy to have then having a harem in current era in real life.
But like i asked, things happens and people loose their shit over it, but gets over it over time here it seems mc is sore loser to moan for too longer and still unable to get his shit back together, is he gonna develop and become better or just gonna get bullied by more bitches in future as sore loser? I don't even half care for scenes tbh, dominating mc or even a mc with backbone to speak for against him is dream at this point tbh, but at least i can hope for a non submissive ass loser mc, who is used as slut by others, no matter how good story or everything else is, playing as sore loser isn't my cup of tea.
He gets stronger and hold his own eventually. If you don't want an AVN where the character "grows", then stick with games like "Helping the Hotties", etc
great, so when i asked that weather he will grow as a character or not give you impression that i don't like character development, that's stupid thinking, and i love the character progress most, but this game ain't for me i guess, you see i tried it, half of the time some useless dik jokes, and then those bj scenes 🤢🤢, I didn't knew this was a full on fuck fest avn, sorry that's shit for me ain't my kink to see this much voyeurism and it's fucking fuck fest,A full fledged fuck fest ain't for me, fuck the story, however good it is, scenes are just too shit kink, and yeah mc is a cheap sore loser without any spine or option, tbh an overrated avn.
so, let me see if i can explain this, without having crayons to draw you a picture. here's the story, up to the point at which the vn begins. a boy and a girl meet, when they are 13 or 14 years old. they are together until they are 24(that's basically half their lives, and most of their relationship-formative years). during that time together, boy's mother dies overseas, serving in the marines(when he's 18). boy and girl spend their time working on something that stands to make them very rich, together. when the relationship ends, it ends because the gf steals his future(their joint work in AI) AND dumps him, all on the day before they are to sign on with a tech company, that is going to pay them a ton of money for their work, and hire them on to continue it. cheap, sore loser? this guy has NOBODY in his life, except this girl, at the point she steals everything from him and leaves him. that, alone, will send the strongest person into the depths of depression, leading to a whole lot of bad things. the fact you don't understand this concept only proves you've never actually been IN a relationship with a girl, at all. never mind been in a relationship with someone, with whom you've built a future, only to have them take both the future and themselves away. the guy spent 3 years with basically nothing. of course he's going to struggle rebuilding his life. and if you think this game is loaded with sex scenes and odd behaviors, you are seriously mistaken there, too. try an avn like being a dik and you'll see one where sex is seemingly around every turn. but in the end, if you don't want to see that in your vn's, don't partake of avn's, as that's what makes them Avn's and not just vn's. the vast majority of places you can find these, it tells you if they contain nudity and sexual activity. if they do, don't pursue them. just that simple. and far better than whining about having been warned, yet still buying the vn, anyway.
it is on steam to where you can wishlist it, but is not available for purchase, yet. that may be awaiting completion, or at least a couple more chapters being finished. just depends on how and when digi-b wants to upload it to steam, for release there. it's likely just waiting on reaching a certain point of completion, so there are fewer DLC chapters to add, and possibly on the ability to reach an agreeable deal with steam/valve, for pricing and such.
Well, I am also on linux (pop os) I just copy the .sh file from the demo to the new chapter. Then, when an error appear, it tells me which file I need to copy and where from the demo. I did that since linux support stopped. i just hope the dev does not change renpy version. xD
I don't know. I did not exchange words with the dev so I am not sure if it is because it cause problem on his end or he is not aware there are Artemis linux players.
I just hope I can continue to paste over the renpy files for linux and that it will still work in the futur.
Are you connected in anyway with the game "Leap of Faith"? I see the MC has the same face as the MC in that game, and now, the MC is staying at DJKink's house, another character in that same game!! And even Lexi was mentioned too! Lastly, can I say, your animations are superb! When a character is eating it looks like it, plus you have twice as many animations, both facial and arms, of any AVN I have played, making the characters look more realistic than any other AVN!
EDIT: Loving the game so far, but as it's $10 for 0.4.1, will it be another $10 for 0.5.1, and so on? I will wait and see if you don't tell me....
I have finished the 2 chapters, and the story is so good, along with excellent world building and charactizations, I am thinking more and more to just wait for the final game, and ply it from start to finish, it's that good to me! I hope you put this game on Steam and GOG, as more people deserve to know about it, because it's up there with Leap of Faith, Love Magic, Being a DiK and all the other huge selling classics!
No. Developers sometimes uses cameo from different games that they use in other games. They are not the same developer, they all may have contacted each other for usage of other characters in games.
You don't pay more for new updates for this game once you bought let say 4.1a now when other version releases you just go to your purchase library to download new versions. I know some developer tries to charge money for each new updates so far digi_b does not do this, I bought this game when it was version 3.1 and when version 4.1 was released I just download the new version in my purchased games library.
I also play on linux. When the .sh and ./lib/linux-x86_64/* are missing I copy them over from a previous version of the game or sometimes try to copy them from other games entirely. But when it is from a previous version of the game I feel like things have better chances of going smootly.
I'd like a native support for linux, but I don't complain because the work around is simple.
That remind me of a previous post about the .sh not being executable right after extraction and being complicated to make it so under windows.
Wow i actually love this game. The story wow.. never would have believed i was just like ohhh shit, after chp 4, i cant wait for 5. everything about this game is so so good.
i finally got it, the way it need to launch the game is dumb asf couldn't install the game thorugh itch at all i have to go into file and launch it from there pls fix this
It was already up there with Once in a Lifetime and Eternum after chapter 3..... but after chapter 4 I'd say it surpassed them. And those Mass Effect "We'll Bang, okay" references at the Halloween Party.... the cherry on top . I do wish it had just a bit more sex scenes/options, but everything else is so top notch, it doesn't even matter
Download the RenPy SDK (the demo was built against 7.4.4, so probably any 7.x version should work), drag the PC version into the same folder as the RenPy app, and run the RenPy app. You should then be able to select the game from the resulting list of games and run it.
Yeah - have to agree with most of the comments here! This game definitely merits a comment! Love the story, great visuals, LOVE the humour - the looks they sometimes give you, or each other, just brilliant! If I wasn't living on the bare minimum of income due to early retirement/bad health, I'd seriously support the dev on Patreon - there's not many games I'd do that for - but this guy REALLY deserves support - this right here is a quality product. Not sure if he's a native english speaker, a lot of the game devs aren't, but the dialogue is very nearly spot on! Often in games you can tell the devs aren't native speakers, but this is damn near perfect. Kudos if he's not.
This would have to be right up there in my top ten fav. adult games. The Characters are engaging, and have depth. I'd love a harem ending as an option, simply because I have a hard time choosing which girl to go with - they all have their own appeal, and are special in their own way. They're not two dimensional as in some games. It'd be a bugger in real life, to be confronted with so many lovely ladies, all of which seem to be into you...
Oh to have THAT problem. Thoroughly recommend this game at any rate. Well worth the coin.
Story seems to jump/jolt now and again, it'd be nice to see it flow more - what I mean is you're in a scene, and suddenly you're somewhere completely different and it's like, huh, did I just miss something? And you end up scrolling back to see if indeed to did skip over something. But I'm picking nits at the highest level here - there's really not much to complain about. Buy it, enjoy it!
10/10 Visuals 10/10 Story 10/10 Humor The cream of the crop of a game. Narrative to lewdness ratio is about 80/20, which is great imo. But if you're looking for non-stop sex scenes - pick another game. Also, wtf did they do to my pool girl Zoe after the first couple of chapters... She had unique and interesting look and character, dropped some yiddish once, so I hoped we'd get some nice optional jewish girl. Then they remodeled her face into something more generic and didn't do anything interesting with her heritage. A loss and a pity. Hope devs get more ballsy in the future updates/projects and try more diverse looks, bodies and complexions. XOXO

Decided to give it a whirl, and enjoyed 0.1.2 to the point where i had to go and give digi_b the support. It's well put together, and you can tell digi_b is aiming for quality over quantity, which im fine with.
are we getting steam keys or no?
did cass got a new face model?
Artemis Book One is on Steam. Is that more than 0.4.1a?
It says books one through four in the about section on steam.
So for us purchasers on Itch, 0.4.1 IS book 1 on steam with 4 chapters! But on Itch it's just called 0.4.1, Mmm! I hope this doesn't mean Itch customers have to wait for the whole of book 2 to be finished before it's released, like on Steam!

i downt loaded it and then when i tried playing it all i got was.
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Same thing for me. Is there any way to fix this?
INCREDIBLE!
Is there a paid option for the most complete version for Mac yet?
This is my favourtie VN for sure, great story and characters, great work!! 10/10
Loved this game, sadly super underrated I would put this one on the podio next to Eternum and being a dik, develloper deserves a lot more!
The facial expressions and humor are on point, carisma of the characters as well, cant wait to see what is comming!
Downloaded 0.4.1a, when I open the application it gets stuck on "initializing" and crashes.
Absolutely love this game, why is it so quiet?
I wondered about the same thing and got a somewhat angry response (not by the develloper) that it's still going on, as the news come when chapters drop and chapters take on average 6 months to make, so hang in here with us, it's coming.

i believe it already did the next chapters will be DLC on there
it is on steam to where you can wishlist it, but is not available for purchase, yet. that may be awaiting completion, or at least a couple more chapters being finished. just depends on how and when digi-b wants to upload it to steam, for release there. it's likely just waiting on reaching a certain point of completion, so there are fewer DLC chapters to add, and possibly on the ability to reach an agreeable deal with steam/valve, for pricing and such.
Is released on Steam now.
Any way to get all 4 chapters on Linux? I use a steam deck. I see the 1st free has Linux support, but the 4 chapter version only has windows listed.
Well, I am also on linux (pop os) I just copy the .sh file from the demo to the new chapter. Then, when an error appear, it tells me which file I need to copy and where from the demo. I did that since linux support stopped. i just hope the dev does not change renpy version. xD
> linux support stopped
Any word on why this happened?
I don't know. I did not exchange words with the dev so I am not sure if it is because it cause problem on his end or he is not aware there are Artemis linux players.
I just hope I can continue to paste over the renpy files for linux and that it will still work in the futur.
Well I finished Artemis 0.1.2 on Linux.
Pretty good.
I enjoy the characters.
Where are the new chapters?
EDIT: Oh I see it. Artemis 0.4.1a
Love the game but I can't get past the job interview. Freezing up during the text exchange every time.
Are you connected in anyway with the game "Leap of Faith"? I see the MC has the same face as the MC in that game, and now, the MC is staying at DJKink's house, another character in that same game!! And even Lexi was mentioned too! Lastly, can I say, your animations are superb! When a character is eating it looks like it, plus you have twice as many animations, both facial and arms, of any AVN I have played, making the characters look more realistic than any other AVN!
EDIT: Loving the game so far, but as it's $10 for 0.4.1, will it be another $10 for 0.5.1, and so on? I will wait and see if you don't tell me....
I have finished the 2 chapters, and the story is so good, along with excellent world building and charactizations, I am thinking more and more to just wait for the final game, and ply it from start to finish, it's that good to me! I hope you put this game on Steam and GOG, as more people deserve to know about it, because it's up there with Leap of Faith, Love Magic, Being a DiK and all the other huge selling classics!
No. Developers sometimes uses cameo from different games that they use in other games. They are not the same developer, they all may have contacted each other for usage of other characters in games.
You don't pay more for new updates for this game once you bought let say 4.1a now when other version releases you just go to your purchase library to download new versions. I know some developer tries to charge money for each new updates so far digi_b does not do this, I bought this game when it was version 3.1 and when version 4.1 was released I just download the new version in my purchased games library.
Any word on Ch 5?
I would imagine it's going to be quite a while. Each Chapter seemed to be quite large and took a long time before you got to the next Chapter!
definitely, it seems every 6/8 months or so a update comes up, but definitely worth the wait !
Where's the Linux version? It's been awhile since version 0.4.1a has been out and it's still windows only.
I also play on linux. When the .sh and ./lib/linux-x86_64/* are missing I copy them over from a previous version of the game or sometimes try to copy them from other games entirely. But when it is from a previous version of the game I feel like things have better chances of going smootly.
I'd like a native support for linux, but I don't complain because the work around is simple.
That remind me of a previous post about the .sh not being executable right after extraction and being complicated to make it so under windows.
I've played a lot of games but this leaves them all in its dust. Great everything. Looking foward to future chapters. Soon I hope!!!!!!
Wow i actually love this game. The story wow.. never would have believed i was just like ohhh shit, after chp 4, i cant wait for 5. everything about this game is so so good.
well i download all chap and now i cant even launch the game to play it
ok i paid for all the chapter why cant i download them at all and i cant even download the game on itch at all it just say it on third party website
i cant i seem to intall the game i have the link and everything and download everything that it need and to it wont let me intall the game
i finally got it, the way it need to launch the game is dumb asf couldn't install the game thorugh itch at all i have to go into file and launch it from there pls fix this
Holy shit. This game is legendary.
It was already up there with Once in a Lifetime and Eternum after chapter 3..... but after chapter 4 I'd say it surpassed them. And those Mass Effect "We'll Bang, okay" references at the Halloween Party.... the cherry on top . I do wish it had just a bit more sex scenes/options, but everything else is so top notch, it doesn't even matter
Amazing work. Hope to see more soon
Not bothered there's not too much sex, makes the game seem much more realistic!
Love the story! Love all the ladies, but Kindra is next level! Can't wait for more!
Story was good. pitty that only v0.1 is free making it super short.
Agreed. The demo wasn't enough to convince me that it is worth buying. Maybe consider releasing 0.2 as a demo?
it is totally worth it. Top 5 best AVN from story, art, and pace.
oh but it is and im glad i got it! cant wait for more!!!
Excellent on the story so far. I cannot wait for your next chapter. Thank you!!!
Man what a story! I can't wait to see where this leads to. How many chapters are planned? I nearly fell off my chair with "The Beatle"
Is there a Mac release coming by chance
Download the RenPy SDK (the demo was built against 7.4.4, so probably any 7.x version should work), drag the PC version into the same folder as the RenPy app, and run the RenPy app. You should then be able to select the game from the resulting list of games and run it.
Well, that didn't work at all. All I get is an error. I find it somewhat annoying that AFTER paying I cannot play it while I COULD play the demo.
Yeah - have to agree with most of the comments here! This game definitely merits a comment!
Love the story, great visuals, LOVE the humour - the looks they sometimes give you, or each other, just brilliant!
If I wasn't living on the bare minimum of income due to early retirement/bad health, I'd seriously support the dev on Patreon - there's not many games I'd do that for - but this guy REALLY deserves support - this right here is a quality product.
Not sure if he's a native english speaker, a lot of the game devs aren't, but the dialogue is very nearly spot on! Often in games you can tell the devs aren't native speakers, but this is damn near perfect. Kudos if he's not.
This would have to be right up there in my top ten fav. adult games. The Characters are engaging, and have depth. I'd love a harem ending as an option, simply because I have a hard time choosing which girl to go with - they all have their own appeal, and are special in their own way. They're not two dimensional as in some games. It'd be a bugger in real life, to be confronted with so many lovely ladies, all of which seem to be into you...
Oh to have THAT problem.
Thoroughly recommend this game at any rate. Well worth the coin.
Story seems to jump/jolt now and again, it'd be nice to see it flow more - what I mean is you're in a scene, and suddenly you're somewhere completely different and it's like, huh, did I just miss something? And you end up scrolling back to see if indeed to did skip over something. But I'm picking nits at the highest level here - there's really not much to complain about. Buy it, enjoy it!
10/10 Visuals
10/10 Story
10/10 Humor
The cream of the crop of a game.
Narrative to lewdness ratio is about 80/20, which is great imo.
But if you're looking for non-stop sex scenes - pick another game.
Also, wtf did they do to my pool girl Zoe after the first couple of chapters...
She had unique and interesting look and character, dropped some yiddish once, so I hoped we'd get some nice optional jewish girl. Then they remodeled her face into something more generic and didn't do anything interesting with her heritage. A loss and a pity. Hope devs get more ballsy in the future updates/projects and try more diverse looks, bodies and complexions. XOXO
loved this chapter,
Zelda and Kindra best girls all the way
