Last weekend I was out of town, and it took longer to return than I thought it would, thanks to a surprise blizzard and a flight mess caused by the government shutdown. So it took me longer to get back to work, meaning I don't have much to share.
Basically, I started working on the strip club scene that I started before I left. First, bec...

When this gets published online, I'll be on a trip and no where near a computer, and getting ready for the trip is interfering with doing new pictures of the Cabaret, which is my next project. Luckily, I have something new to post anyways.
I had the idea for years of adding another path in the vista photoshoot where Ariane removes her shir...

I am officially done with the Vista Photoshoot, and there should already be an alpha 0.75 release adding the lake and vista to Date Ariane 2. I got a busy schedule in November and trying to work around a trip I'm taking next week.
Above is the "Make a funny face" pic from early in the shoot.
The monthly update is now live. This update adds new Vista and Lake pictures. There's literally only 3 locations left to do and I'll get them in the next two months of 2025. Then I need to go over the code again, build walkthroughs, make a demo, and update the current releases.

This week I'm focusing on the make out sessions in the jeep at the vista. Yeah I know from a game perspective that 's lame, but there are multiple versions and some are interesting.
Basic plot, you and Ariane get interrupted by a couple in a c...

After the lake, it make sense to go to the vista. There are about 80 pictures in this location, so I'm trying to do at least 10 a day to do them all this month.
Using some techniques since I last did this 4 years ago. Adding depth of field to ...

The beach scene in DAR1 was always a bit messy. The far shore of the lake looked bad, and I basically just used one blurry background picture for most of the scene. Now I have a full lake set to use instead, and it all looks much nicer.
But it wasn't completely perfect, the lake model doesn't have a beach on it, and the script calls for it...

This whole past year, I have been making new Daz Studio versions of all the pictures in Date Ariane Remastered, just like last year when I did all the pictures for Ariane in Paradise. I haven’t posted anything about the update because I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with it. Release as a new game?, release as a free up...

We all heard the news last July that itch-io was being hassled by the payment processors about games they did not like being put on their platform that violated the payment processors rules.
Itch-io responded by delisting all NSFW games from its index, including mine. This didn't affect me much because the itch-io listings are not a major ...

More pics from version 0.65, already available to Daters. I'm making picture posts for the remainder of the month so I can focus on testing the newly illustrated sections of the game. It seems I'm always finding new bugs that hopefully are not old bugs that have been around for years.

As I try to work on the outside content, I got distracted by the interstitials. These are short scenes that fill in the gaps: driving scenes, standing in front of set scenes etc.

I'm improving my pace at making pictures, and I believe I passed the half way mark on this project. This week some park photos I haven't shared yet. Plus a couple of set tests.
Above is a hard to find photoshoot at the playground instead of the fountain.

Between all the drama in the adult gaming arena, which so far has not affected me (crossing my fingers), and some issues with my main computer causing random BSODs, and updating my laptop so I can work on it while I wait for spare parts. It's all very chaotic around here.

This week was my second cataract surgery, and while it is still healing, my eyesight is a lot better, especially at night. Almost seems too bright in the day.

The past couple of months I've struggled making pictures for the game, mostly because I was getting cataract removal eye surgery, which led to a lot of anxiety that kept me from working.

But I did manage ...
