Glad to see you back at it man. I'm really really happy to see an update for this game. Hope that releases will be more regular now that you're on the mend.
So great to see ou back in action! The new chapter was great, the interaction with the "new girl" is VERy endearing. Love everything about the chapter! Keep up the good work :-)
don't know if the game it's still going on, but i bought it on steam and i really like the story and the girls are very very pretty; i honestly hope this game continue it's development, i know the eyesight problem of the dev, but it would be nice to see it ending at some point
It isn't ren'py that's the issue. It it downloading the files from a 3rd party that is the issue. That's what the itch app says when i try to install it, and that the 3rd party site is incompatible.
That just means you can't install it through the Itch app. It's not a steam deck issue. Just means you need to go to the game's itch website manually and download it from there instead of through the app.
I finally got it to work, though. I tried downloading it on both Chrome and Firefox in the past and kept getting a weird browser file limit error. I just tried again via chrome and was able to download it, unzip it, and add it as a non-steam game. So not sure what changed, but I'm not complaining. I'll just use the site instead of the app for the Mega downloads now.
Probably best at this point. I've noticed the app's starting to accumulate small bugs and inconsistencies here-and-there.
Well, more than usual.
That and the file size limit/monetization for adult games (Donations as well as sales) in general on itch.io, I think, are starting to be more of a hassle than it's worth.
I've been seeing more transitions from this to other platforms lately because of it. Also, unfortunately, I've seen a few (sometimes more) Devs abandoning games altogether because of it.
Kinda makes me feel like:
except replacing Lag with itch.io's behavior lately.
Since all of book one is on Steam, I'm taking it as a more stable way to support digi_b. Just throwin that out here.
The way itch has been changing lately, I'm seeing this as a way to make sure the dev actually gets the money. Yeah, Valve (Steam) probably has some type of fees for hosting the game, but I believe it also reaches more people than itch does, so the profit kinda evens out...if not rise (heh ;p).
And well, at this point, I trust Steam 1st, Patreon 2nd...and Paypal (when things don't bug-out) 3rd.
Now that the first 4 chapters are listed as "Book One" on Steam; for those of us who've purchased here, will we be getting a chapter 5 update at Itch in the near future? Will there be a "Book Two" (including an additional 4 chapters) only release once it is ready?
I know many would appreciate some feedback as to what the future holds here at Itch for this game. Or even just in general. Are we in for a long haul wait for a "Book Two" release? If so, will it be considered an additional DLC purchase? Will it be on Steam only? Game is really good. I won't complain about supporting it financially for an additional DLC if required (though I would have liked to have been made aware of this before purchasing the first few chapters). Would just like to know where this is heading ...
I just finished 0.1.2 on Mac and really enjoyed the story. So, I bought 0.4.1a. Would appreciate future builds for Mac, though. It's easier to not have to stuff this in Ren'Py to build my own Mac app.
If you like AVNs with a harem setting and Male protagonist this is a great game for you. Soooo much content and quality graphics. You get the adult action and a compelling, emotional story. I paid to support digi_b and I cannot wait to see how this story continues.
Plus really cool tie-ins to Leap of Faith and Chasing Sunsets.
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.

Glad to see you back at it man. I'm really really happy to see an update for this game. Hope that releases will be more regular now that you're on the mend.
So great to see ou back in action! The new chapter was great, the interaction with the "new girl" is VERy endearing. Love everything about the chapter! Keep up the good work :-)
Ive been waiting so long for the next chapter. thank you so much!
edit: The Fifth Element joke...Im dying!
I almost fell out of my chair with that joke too!
Chapter 5 was just released on patreon
what tier tho?
anyway to get discord/download for people who purchased the game? or steam key?
I hope you don't switch to Steam completely because in my country adult games like this get blocked and there is no way to access them
Ditto!
God bless America
VPN? would that help?
Hi, I bought this great game here on Itch, but want it on Steam now. Is there a key to get?
Thanks.
Hey man, Its been a while since C4 released on PC and theres still no MAC version. Could it be possible to get a refund?
don't know if the game it's still going on, but i bought it on steam and i really like the story and the girls are very very pretty; i honestly hope this game continue it's development, i know the eyesight problem of the dev, but it would be nice to see it ending at some point
its still going
soon been 1 year since last episode. Way to long time. love the game, but this is draging out
If i purchased the game here do i need to buy it again on steam to get any further updates?
Any chance of non-3rd party files in the works? This game looks like it'd be good, but I want it on my Steam Deck.
It's a ren'py game, so should be possible. I googled 'ren'py on steam deck?' and got several results. Have fun tinkering!
It isn't ren'py that's the issue. It it downloading the files from a 3rd party that is the issue. That's what the itch app says when i try to install it, and that the 3rd party site is incompatible.
That just means you can't install it through the Itch app. It's not a steam deck issue. Just means you need to go to the game's itch website manually and download it from there instead of through the app.
I finally got it to work, though. I tried downloading it on both Chrome and Firefox in the past and kept getting a weird browser file limit error. I just tried again via chrome and was able to download it, unzip it, and add it as a non-steam game. So not sure what changed, but I'm not complaining. I'll just use the site instead of the app for the Mega downloads now.
Probably best at this point. I've noticed the app's starting to accumulate small bugs and inconsistencies here-and-there.
Well, more than usual.
That and the file size limit/monetization for adult games (Donations as well as sales) in general on itch.io, I think, are starting to be more of a hassle than it's worth.
I've been seeing more transitions from this to other platforms lately because of it. Also, unfortunately, I've seen a few (sometimes more) Devs abandoning games altogether because of it.
Kinda makes me feel like:
except replacing Lag with itch.io's behavior lately.
is Cassie based on Alexandria Daddario? They look so similar lol
also we need more Meghan scenes please, she’s the best looking girl imo
Since all of book one is on Steam, I'm taking it as a more stable way to support digi_b. Just throwin that out here.
The way itch has been changing lately, I'm seeing this as a way to make sure the dev actually gets the money. Yeah, Valve (Steam) probably has some type of fees for hosting the game, but I believe it also reaches more people than itch does, so the profit kinda evens out...if not rise (heh ;p).
And well, at this point, I trust Steam 1st, Patreon 2nd...and Paypal (when things don't bug-out) 3rd.
really a great one bruh, waiting for the new chapter.
Fkn love Paige!!!!!!!!!!
Any chance of this getting an android port?
Now that the first 4 chapters are listed as "Book One" on Steam; for those of us who've purchased here, will we be getting a chapter 5 update at Itch in the near future? Will there be a "Book Two" (including an additional 4 chapters) only release once it is ready?

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.

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.
Any chance of a Steam release in the future?
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
