Pics 62: Drive-N-Dine Bonus

Some detailed png pics from the "bonus" part of Date Ariane Remastered. I'm posting these without context to avoid spoilers.

Date Ariane Remastered 1.0 to be released!

The number of new bugs this week was really small, and I am taking that as a good sign it is time to finally release the game to the public, which I am planning for May 7 (weekend sales tend to be the best)

For Patrons, this is your early access week. Below is the patch for any version 0.90 and above can be patched to 1.00

Pics 61: Secret meeting in the Top Club

Taking a break from the remastered game, I thought I'd do some pics of the week on the recent update of Ariane in Paradise.

These pictures come from one of two epilogues that unlock after getting all the achievements in Ariane in Paradise.  I actually made this epilogue very early in the development, when I was still working on Day 1, but as far as I can tell I never talked about ...

Bonus Content (spoilers!)

This post is for people that have unlocked the bonus, if you haven't yet, or if you don't care if you get spoiled, read on!

The bonus is unlocked when you reach between 60 or 70 achievements. You check by clicking on Achievements on the main menu, and the game will count your achievements as you go through them.  It counts how many entries are in the achievements list, but multigame achiev...

Date Ariane Remastered 0.92

Game is now 0.92 with a lot more fixes than last weeks 0.91 update.  This has bug fixes and 6 new pictures.  Biggest fixes involve the makeout on the couch scene, with some bugs existing for years.

I've also made some improvements to achievements. There were 4 listed by the wrong name, I also made a few of them easier like "Three Naked In Bed",  "Yahtzee", and "Rochambeau".  ...

Pics 60: Eating Dinner Naked

Continuing with last weeks theme of showing pictures in the game but without clothes. Here are 4 examples from Pizza and Steak dinners.

A few of you discovered the nude barbecue picture in the game earlier and wondered how to get to it?

Ariane in Paradise 1.11 Released

And now for something different here is an upgrade to Ariane in Paradise.  I explain why the upgrade on the post on my main website, but I thought I'd post it here as well as a public post to make the patch easier to find.

Basically I'm trying to upgrade all my games to the latest and g...

Date Ariane Remastered 0.91

Game is now 0.91 with an update that is pure bug fixes and no new pictures.  There is a new option that will pop up just after dinner to ask Ariane questions about her personal life.  It uses previously created pictures.  The purpose of this section is to help tie this game to the other games.  You can ask about her family, her career, or her sexuality, none of which matter in thi...

Remastered Demo - Test it out!

I've been working on a demo of Date Ariane Remastered that I eventually plan to make free, so I'm making it available to all level of patrons.

This version only covers the opening part and the 5 dinners. It will ding when achievements are reached, but there is no achievement section to keep track of them like the full game.

You can download and test it. I think I included all the necessa...

Pics 59: Early pics from game, without clothes

Previously on Patreon, back during the Ariane in Paradise days, I experimented by showing pictures from Date Ariane where she is usually clothed, but not.  It became one of my most popular posts, so I thought I'd do it again. 

Here are some pictures from early in the game when you first meet, only nude. I did an experiment like this for April Fools Day in 2015.

Pics 58: A Beach to Herself

There is some more material in the game I want to share, but it is spoilery in nature and I want to give people another week.

So this week a little fun experiment. I have this beach scene I haven't used and thought I would. Simultaneously, I wanted to see what Ariane looked like in a different hair style, also I wanted to give her a tan.

The results are a little mixed, but I thought I'd ...

Date Ariane Remastered 0.90

I know it has been only 4 days, but a number of bugs have been found in 0.50, and decided to release a quick patch.  Game is now 0.90 which is the version that I use when game is almost ready to release.  Keep the bug fix reports coming in.

DA Remastered 0.50 "Beta"

Version 0.50 of Date Ariane Remastered Beta is now released.  We are close to the official release which I am looking at for the beginning of May.  Change Notes can be found at https://arianeb.itch.io/date-ariane-remastered/devlog/362908/version-050-beta

Version 0.50 represents a complete draft of the final game, with built in Paths (walkthroughs) and bonus con...

Pics 57: Naked and on the run

These pics might be a little spoilery if you haven't played the latest patch, so I will say as little as possible about the context.

Version 0.5 "beta" should be out this weekend. Currently working on Android port.

ETA: This was supposed to appear yesterday, but I picked the wrong date when I scheduled it.

Pic 56: Tinkering With Goodbye

My current work in Date Ariane Remastered is writing new walkthroughs (now called "Paths") which I have finished (link below).  

Checking that all the paths work means playing the game over and over finding bugs (found a major one related to the strip club -- it will be a lot easier to win in the next update)

It also highlights annoying things like the picture above.  Any date...

Pics 55: Poetry Slam

Finally, the last original content of Date Ariane Remastered is a "Poetry Slam".  A number of people have suggested adding a karaoke bar to Date Ariane, as that is something that is popular on dates these days, and there was a time I enjoyed going to karaoke nights at local bars, too.

The problem you run into is music rights.  Karaoke works when people sing songs the rest of ...

DA Remastered 0.40: The "base" game complete

Version 0.40 of Date Ariane Remastered Beta is now released.  This will be the only update for March.  Change Notes can be found at https://arianeb.itch.io/date-ariane-remastered/devlog/357927/version-040-changes

Version 0.40 represents completion of the update and ...

Pics 54: New Attractions

Now that I am done remaking all the pictures from the old Date Ariane, the next step is to add some new material. I ended on the amusement park, because this seems a good spot to expand. 

These are pictures that introduce new attractions to the amusement park. I don't want to talk about them until the next update is out (still being worked on), but here are some sneak previews.

Besid...

Pics 53: Last of the Remasters

Version 0.30 of Date Ariane Remastered had new versions of every picture except the amusement park, and because the amusement park got moved, it is easy to miss. 

Basically, if you "Have a Drink" at any point after dinner, and after Ariane has also had two drinks, the "Go for a Drive" option disappears and it is replaced by a "Call for a Ride" option. 

Ariane schedules a ride on...

Pics 52: The Scenic View

The new update that includes these pictures is already out, but since the scenic view has been historically one of the most discussed and liked, I needed to dedicate a post to it.

The above picture is the iconic "artistic" picture that makes cameos in at lest two other games and has been around since the 2007 release of the HTML.  This version doesn't actually appear in the game, I made tw...

DA Remastered Version 0.30

Version 0.30 of Date Ariane Remastered Beta is now released.  This will be the only update for February.  Change Notes can be found at https://arianeb.itch.io/date-ariane-remastered/devlog/346995/version-030-changes

Below is a 43mb patch if you still have 0.25 on yo...

Pics 51: The Live Cabaret

Working on the "outskirts" images that include the lake, the vista, and the "Live Cabaret" aka the Strip Club on the edge of town.  Updating the entrances and exits, and clothing removal pics, I just loaded the old files and then changed all the textures, and the hairstyle.

Sounds easy, but it was tedious and boring.  So when I got to the actual routine part (the pole dance, chair dan...

Pics 50: More from the Lake

Last week I was doing the beach lake side of things and left this one out.  It's an excellent "portrait". I love how the moonlight is back lighting the hair on the right side. 

The rest of this week's pictures are from the boating side of the lake. I've done all the lake pictures, but I'm not...

Pics 49: Romantic Lake

There are about 4 main areas left to re-render since 0.25: The Lake, The Vista, The Cabaret, and the Amusement Park.  This week is the lake part 1: the beach with a few select images.

This is the newest version of the one time iconic image of Ariane sitting on the beach  wearing nothing but m...

DA Remastered version 0.25

Version 0.25 of Date Ariane Remastered Beta is now released.  Change Notes can be found at https://arianeb.itch.io/date-ariane-remastered/devlog/338880/version-025-changes

Below is a 139mb patch if you still have 0.22 on your computer.  On PC or Linux, extract the f...

Pics 48: Classic Downtown Remastered

One of the classic images is the one where Ariane leaves the restaurant on the way to the nightclub, so I thought I'd share the new version, as well as some other new versions of classic downtown.

This is Ariane modeling the purple dress if that is what you matched for her, it is very similar to a "Som...

Pic 47: Downtown Restaurant

This week I started working on the downtown area of the game.  I was thinking of radically changing it like the downtown in Hopepunk City, but since moving to Indiana IRL and driving through all the quaint downtowns here, I wanted to stick to the mid 20th century building façades common in midwest America.  The biggest obvious change is that the museum is no longer here replaced by a big m...

DA Remastered 0.22

Version 0.22 of Date Ariane Remastered Beta is now released.  Change Notes can be found at https://arianeb.itch.io/date-ariane-remastered/devlog/334237/version-022-changes

Below is a 63mb patch if you still have 0.20 on your computer.  On PC or Linux, extract the fi...

Pic 46: More Park Pics

Almost done updating the pictures that take place in the store and the park.  Watch for a new updated version this weekend.

The new pics this week are basketball and playground pictures.  Added realistic grass and distance blur effects as part of the update.

Pic 45: Black Dress Photos at the Park

Starting the new pictures at the park and the store.  These are close to the house, and I have some new content that involve both, so they seem the natural place to start outside the house.

After some minor changes to the decor of the store, those pictures were fairly easy as they involve the same pose, just different wardrobes.  The park is a bit more problematic. I spent hours on th...
