At the beginning of the month, I shared early some Halloween pics for social media. Now that we are closer to Halloween, here's more with less costumes.

This week I'm highlighting a few more re-renders I did as I enlarged the pics from 1080p to 1440p.
One of the biggest things I wanted to change was the whole Alice in Wonderland path that I originally did by mixing Poser and Daz Studio renders toge...

Spent the summer on another project of course, and now time to go back to Dating in a World on Fire.
You can get the new version at https://arianeb.it...
I spent the summer 1. Leaning Daz Studio while remaking Ariane in Paradise, and 2. Thinking and rethinking, and generally overthinking Dating in a World On Fire.
All my rethink plans don't involve abandoning what I've done so far. I still need to...
I know it's early in the month for Halloween images, but it is the right month. These are pictures I'm planning on sharing on social media, closer to the holiday, and I wanted to give Patreon an early glimpse.

There are now multiple locations to get the Ariane in Paradise Free Demo.
You can play a censored version (no nudity but still may contain inappropriate for work language) at 2024-09-29 09:52:26 +0000 UTC View Post
This is the picture of the bartender at the end of the game still dressed. There's a really dumb bug in the game I discovered that if you are not playing with the bonus on and reach the ending where you talk to the bartender, the bartender inexpl...
For the rest of the week, Dater Patrons can go to The Ariane in Paradise Demo page and try out the web based demo, and get the Steam key for Ariane in Paradise if you don't already have it.

To finish the 2.0 project, I got a working Android version for Ariane in Paradise 2.0. To make it more compatible for phones, I shrank the resolution to 1920×1080 and basically used the 1.5 version with 2.0 graphics. Not as good as the PC version — couldnâ€...
This is the last picture of the game. Ariane back home tired on her couch after a long trip. It is also the first and only image of the "new" Ariane on her "old" home set. The set I use for Ariane's house has a version for Daz Studio, and I used that ...
Even though the game is out, I'm going to do Ariane in Paradise pictures for the rest of the month, and just talk about them.
When I did the Ariane driving the e...

I never actually made a "Demo" for Ariane in Paradise. At the time of it's release in 2019, I thought it was so similar to my other games that the other games would serve as a demo of sorts. If you liked Date Ariane and Somethi...
If you are Dater level Patron I was able to get 50 free keys for the Steam version of Ariane in Paradise and I'm distributing them on the Demo page https://arianeb.itch.io/ariane-in-paradise-demo which hopefully can only be accessed by Dater Patrons. Th...

This pirate and western themed photoshoot posts features costumes because I had to buy new costumes to make these. Nude versions will be attached. When I made these photoshoots 6 years ago, I already had the costumes in Poser, but for Daz, I had to buy n...
Think I found my last bug, until the next one, so I decided to upload Ariane in Paradise 2.0 to all store fronts.
Version 2.0 is Live for all versions except Android (coming soon)
This summer I needed to improve my Daz Studio skills, and noticed Ar...

I am now done with all the picture updates.
Day 3 stuff took longer than I thought it would. I haven't really tested it out fully. But I promised a build by the end of the month and luckily this month is 31 days long. The full 2.0 release took a fe...

This is the wrap party that is in the game, not a wrap for this project which is mostly done. I promised a release by the end of the month so 1.99 will be made available tomorrow (luckily August has 31 days).
Last weeks ended at the rental place, w...
Here's the second route into town, the waking path and gymnastics in the street path. The girl on the bike you meet is the Female player character from DiaWoF with blonde hair, the male player character is the nude runner on the beach in day 2.
Starting the Day 3 paths with the lowest of the hanging fruits. The Hike to the Lake path. It's basically the same as the Day 1 hike to the lake, only Ariane is naked.

This week I'm starting a preview of Day 3 pictures. This is a post nature hike with Ariane in her "emergency bikini". I really like the look of her hair and face in this one, so I made it my Instagram avatar.

Here's a preview of the Sailing scene in Ariane in Paradise. Because the boat captain Jack and his female partner Lin have a big scene, I decided to make new character models. I recently bought a male model on sale who looks Asian, and I haven'...

It was around the beginning of August 2004 that I posted "Ariane's Date Simulator" to my web site. Nobody noticed until 2007 when it went viral, and as a result a new gaming genre was born.
This is Ariane in Paradise with new Daz renders covering day 1 and 2 of the game story.
It's called 1.98 because itch.io makes it easy to load games as you increase the version number. ...

This week I'm focusing on 3 locations you can go to on the island on Day 2. The first is a taco stand. Same set as the original, just HDRI lit, and Ariane wearing different clothes.

This is about the other day 2 morning paths: The Beach and the Coral Reef. Both used some interesting rendering techniques. Above is one of the few beach pictures on a new beach set. It's also the set used for the sunset pictures.

Last November I said I wanted to make a new Christine character in Ariane in Paradise, and made a new one based on the V4 model. Well here I am 9 months later with yet another one. Also living in a radically improved house.

Last couple of weeks I've spent working on updating the hiking path of Day 2. Here's a few samples from this. Luckily most of the props from the old game work just fine in Daz, though some look old even in Daz, the waterfall in particular which I'll get to.<...
Since most of you have access to Day 1 already, (at least I hope you do, I'm writing from early June), thought I'd share my tentative plans for day 2 and day 3. Thanks to the limitations of Daz props, some things have already had to change.
One thi...

Focusing on the other two paths this week, here's Tassiana. Like the original, I had to find two similar dresses I could recolor pink. To do this I had to erase the top part of a dress, and put Tassiana in a pink knit jacket.
