Ariane in Paradise Walkthrough #6: The Desirable Day 3 Path

This walkthrough contains major spoilers to the end of the game.  If you are playing the game with walkthroughs and used walkthroughs to get to day 3, and want to "win" the game, just STOP NOW!

If you reached Day 3, you basically won the game already.  You no longer have to keep track of points.  Two of the three paths are opened up to you, and the third path is blocked because of choices you ...

A new "last" picture for AiP.

I'm working to finalizing the official 1,0 version, and decided to add a second short epilogue featuring pictures taken by Rachel.

These are basically pictures of you and Ariane taken from angles that are not seen in the game, and because Rachel is a photographer, I'm trying to make them artistic, too.

It ends with a picture of Ariane back home, She probably dropped her luggage, took off ...

AiP Walkthrough Part 2: Getting through Day 1

In Part 1, I showed the most efficient way through the first part of Day 1 and to unlock the four interests for Ariane.

This section has 3 goals: Show how to get to the 3 paths of Day 1, show other choices to unlock Ariane interests in case you are still missing some, and show how to unlock Day 1 achievements.

If you followed Part 1, you are standing in front of a couple of stores.

Stories: Day At The Beach

Sorry I'm out of Date Ariane Nude pics. They were fun, but the project got abandoned. Back to selected screen pics form Ariane in Paradise. 

This set is from the day at the beach on Day 2. Most of these pictures backgrounds used actual photos of a beach in the Mediterranean (which I licensed) rather than 3D sets.

I prefer 3D sets because I have more control and it is easier to get li...

Date Ariane Nude #3

Here's part 3 of an unfinished nude version of Date Ariane I did out of boredom, with no real interest in ever publishing it.

Some of these, the introduction pics, I did release as part of an april fools joke.  This also include park playground nudes, and backyard barbecue nudes. Most are in 1000x600, but some are 1500x900.

AiP Walkthrough Part 1: A great start!

Going to try making some walkthroughs.  It is going to take a while to complete them all, so I'll start at the beginning with probably the best way to start the game and get enough charm points and Ariane likes to get past Day 1 easily.

Be friendly

I saw you swimming, You're Pretty Good.

If you ever need help with the breast stroke let me know. (+5 sexy)

Android version of Ariane in Paradise

A big 400MB game will not work very well in android, but if I reduce the resolution of pictures in half and reduce the sample rates of audio files, I can create a working version for mobile that comes in at 150MB.

And here it is.  The arm64-v8a version is for 64 bit devices running Android 8 or 9.  The armeabi-v7a is designed for Android 7 and below.  The x86 version is designed ...

The full Ariane in Paradise Beta is ready to be tested!

My plan was to not release this until November, because that was how long I thought it would take, but I had some free time the last two weeks and went ahead and finished it, and decided Why wait?

This is the complete game.  All 3 days, 40 achievements, all the locations and story and choices completed.  It comes in at around 400 MB for the HD version (which this is).

Go to the Beach with Ariane

It's coming up to Labor Day weekend, and time for one last summer beach trip.  This is the rest of Day 2 and it's the biggest update yet.  

While the hike through the jungle is the longest and most interesting path on Day 2.  This update adds a bunch of new locations:  1. A morning beach trip, 2. A morning Coral Reef snorkeling adventure, 3. Lunch at a fish taco stand, 4. A ...

Date Ariane Nude #2

A few more pics from my failed and incomplete Date Ariane nude project.

Again these are 1000x600. They are raw renders with no editing or color adjusting.  I'm just releasing them for fun.

This set consists of a naked steak dinner, then driving to the nightclub for more drinks and trivia, then driving Ariane home drunk.

Date Ariane Nude #1

I decided I am not yet ready to post the Day 2 pics just yet, so I dug into some hidden archives and found an old unfinished project: a totally nude version of Date Ariane.

The project was never finished, mostly because it was kind of dumb and made no sense, and it mostly was me doing something out of boredom.  But based on some posts on Discord, there might be some interest in these. &nbs...

New Patrons Charged Up Front Starting Today

I know there is a loop hole if you sign up as a Patreon that doesn't have charge up front enabled.  You can pledge, get access to stuff, then drop out before you get charged. 

At this point, I've only released partial buggy games, and felt OK letting people try before they buy, so I wasn't too concerned.

But this all changes, soon.

There is a limit for file sizes that can be uploaded to Patreon.  That limit is 200 MB, which is almost exactly what the latest bi...

Little Known Tricks in Renpy Games

Here are some tips and tricks when playing Renpy based games.  These should work on any Renpy game, but older games might not have these features, and some game makers will do odd things with their code that break these.

V - Voice

If you press the V key, your computer's voice reader will read the game for you.  I use this on my games as a way of spell checking, because misspelled words get read by the computer funny. 

H - Hide interface

Stories: Rachel and Ariane in a private cabin

After a mixup involving Rachel's dress, Rachel has to go to a private cabin and take the dress off, but has nothing to wear instead.  You and Ariane have to hatch a plan.

There are a number of choices, and a number of pictures to illustrate each choice in this screen collection.

Get Lost in the Jungle with Ariane

This months beta update is the first path of Day 2.  The design of this game is mirrored on Date Ariane, where Day 1 is like pre-dinner and dinner, and Day 2 is the post-dinner meat of the game including potentially a sex scene or two.

This is the first of three paths of Day 2, and it contains the craziest puzzle I have ever done by far.  The path goes to a hike in the jungle...

Stories: Rachel and Ariane at the bar

This weeks collection are pictures of the yacht bar. It includes three pictures that are not even in the game.

Some of these pictures has a large Egyptian statue in the background.  This is an "easter egg" to the show Lost which featured a broken Egyptian statue of Tawaret.  This is the statue of Isis I believe.  The statue makes another cameo later in the game, but ther...

The Preferences Screen

I thought I'd do some posts on detailed mechanics of the game and the way Renpy works.  I want to start with the preference screen and what all this stuff means.  The preference screen can be entered at any time by clicking "Pref" at the bottom of the screen.

Display is a standard Renpy option, and pretty self explanatory if you ever play games.  Window plays in ...

Tassiana is a character originally found in Rachel and Ariane, and is the trusted assistant of billionaire real estate tycoon Ronald Ellison.  She was named after the girlfriend of one of my fans on Facebook.

(Spoilers) Notes on the game stats

Ariane in Paradise has a scoring system that is a little shrouded in mystery. If you really want to play the game in hard mode, you can turn off "Show Stats" in the preferences.

But if you are playing with stats on, you might want to know what they mean and how they work. It actually varies from day to day, but since I have only released day 1 content, I'll stick with that.

Date Ariane returns to the web browser!

There is a debate that I see both sides of: Renpy stand alone games vs. Online HTML games.

Stand alone games are bigger and faster and can have more features.  Online games can be played on any device with a browser, so you don't have to make separate Windows, MAC, Linux, and Android versions.

Well it may not be so hard to decide in the near future. The latest version of Renpy releas...

What music should I use?

I decided that the game needs some music, and unlike the other game music, it needs to be tropical, but like the other games it needs to be inexpensively licensed royalty free music.

Royalty free music is by its very nature not very good, so I definitely don't want to cover the game with it, but opening title music, closing credit music, and a couple of street music dance scenes would be nice ...
