Sorry for the Achievement bug, it\'s now resolved.

Additionally, I\'ve fixed a few minor bugs as well as fixed the missing lewd position for Reina\'s date. As well as various minor bugs.

You may need to restart Steam for the update to pick up.

Thank you all for your patience on this. Putting Book Two in EA was not part of the plan, but I know the wait can be frustrating. I\'ll admit, it was stressful, but again I appreciate you all for being patient with me while I work on resolving the issues.

Thank you all for your support <3

Popping in really quick to give a quick update!

Most of you know I\'m very candid. And even now, releases still rattle my nerves. I\'ve gone over my to-do list several times, all items marked \"Done\". Anyways, I\'m currently getting things ready to test. That does mean that I\'ll be pushing Book 2 to Sept 1st, next Monday, while I test this build before release. Everything has been finalized on Steam\'s end. It\'s just a matter of addressing any last minute issues caught between now and next Monday, Sept 1st.

Additionally, you guys will see Book One getting an update either tomorrow or Monday. This is in preparation for the DLC. Book One was built on Ren\'Py ver 7.-somethin\'. The codebase has since been updated to 8.1.3 to take advantage of some features.

From what I\'ve seen, this hasn\'t broken any saves. But Ren\'Py is finnicky and is probably the most common issue when it comes to Ren\'Py based games. So, I apologize in advance if that happens.

Hey everyone!

Popping in real quick to update everyone on Book Two\'s status. A couple weeks ago I overcame one of the hurdles with a scene. I\'ve been easing Blender into my workflow. Blender is a lot more complex than DAZ. DAZ let\'s you get away with a lot, but Blender requires a steeper learning curve to dial things in right. But glad to say progress has been made cleaning things up. When I got done with Chapter 6, I wasn\'t satisfied with how the quality came out. But I told myself to just release it and can go back to fix it.

Paige\'s skin and hair textures were difficult to fix.

After working on it, I\'ve gotten to a point where there\'s improvement. Her hair is better and the skin looks less dulled out.

I\'ve put things aside since a couple weeks ago to shift focus back to CH7 as I don\'t want to fall behind. This week, I\'ve shifted gears back to getting things back on track with Steam\'s Book Two early access. The animations are currently re-rendering with other fixes. I need to do a few adjustments, but with the Blender fixes resolved, B2 on track to release in August. I don\'t have an exact date yet. With some of the implementations of the code and adding the fixed renders/animations. I just want to make sure this release is smooth as possible. This means testing as much as possible, so I\'m estimating the week of the August 25th, next month. This will give me more than enough time to cross the t\'s and dot the i\'s.

Be well everyone,

Hey everyone!

Wanted to chime in really quick and inform everyone that the store page for Book Two was finally approved. I'm working on getting it to show up on the main page for Artemis Book One. In the meantime, here is a link to the page

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3738540/Artemis__Book_Two/?curator_clanid=43238082 Things are progressing. I've got two major hurdles which is correcting one of the scenes and re-animating a few of the lewd scenes but also need to correct those textures before re-rendering. This was due to me working in Blender and trying it out. I love it and opens many doors for grander scenes and better animations. But obviously slight growing pains. Fortunately, it's just a matter of tweaking textures. The technical part of using Blender isn't bad at all and I've grasped it pretty well. There are a couple previews of the animations done in Blender you can see on Book Two's DLC page.

Be well everyone,

Chapter 6 of Book Two is complete. I sincerely apologize for the radio silence as we passed Q1 of this year, which I estimated Book Two would enter Early Access. On Steam, I keep personal matters personal. But I've seen some posts mentioning the passing of my mother in 2024, which happened and caused for significant delay working on Chapter 6. As 2024 came to a close, I stressed over how delayed the Chapter was and had to keep focused on completing it. Which meant I lost track of a lot of things. I completed the chapter on April 7th, 2025 and stepped away to give myself some space to collect myself and give me a moment to properly mourn and deal with many things I put aside.

There were some setbacks with the recent update. Since I'll be releasing Book Two as Early Access, I figured I'd merge the code with the Steam build. This caused some bugs with the SDCards and the achievement for that. I stripped that part of the code from the latest build, which means I'll be working on solution since my old code somehow broke. I'll likely just remove the SDCard hunt from the achievement since it will require an entire re-work and push the update later. You'll still have the SDCards to track down, but for the moment there will be no achievement for it until I code a new system for that.

I'm also working on some re-renders in Chapter 6. There is a scene that takes place in Chapter 6 that needs to be re-done. As well as fixing the textures on a couple of the lewd animations.

Since we're well within Q2 of this year, I'm pushing the Early Access release to August 2025. Once the Steam page for Book Two is approved, it will say Q3 2025 and I'll post progress leading up to release.

Thank you all for your patience and again, I apologize for the delay in this announcement.

Artemis Book 2 is halfway through development. It will begin immediately after the events of Book 1. Book 1's arc was an introduction of the characters and world, focusing on Aiden's growth as he gets his second chance at life.

Book 2 will be the road to the expo as you and Kindra gear up on bringing Kapuletti Industries back to its former glory, all while teaching the newly awakened Artemis how to fit in with humanity. Relationships will be further explored with the various love interests.

I've debated on bringing Artemis Book 2 into Early Access as many wish to continue the story sooner. After much consideration, I've decided I will bring Artemis Book 2 into Early Access. I personally wanted to wait until all chapters were completed, but I understand many want get access to new content sooner. While it's not my intention for each development to take as long it currently does, it's the wait time between each chapter I complete is what made my decision. After I complete Chapter 6 (which I am aiming for the end of 2024), I will work on getting Book 2 (chapters 5 & 6 will be ready with 7 starting development and released when done, as well as CH8.) ready for Steam for those who wish to participate in EA. So, you can expect Book 2 EA to be ready in Q1 of 2025. Slight wait as I catch as many bugs as I can and get the page ready for Book 2.

Below are spoiler-free previews from Chapters 5 & 6.
