September is going fast and I am working on the next update of Something's In The Air Redux which will be released next week. I'm working on finishing remaking all the Ariane pics, which I should be able to do except the "House Party" path that requires some set redesign.
The above picture comes from the date formerly known as "Safety Pullout" where you drive to the scenic vista and have ...

In late July I shared some Ariane and Lydia pictures from the game, and promised I'd finish the "tercera" ending. It is now mostly complete, just a few transition pics away from finishing, but I thought I'd share what I have done so far.
When I looked at the remastered art still left to do, and see how much there was, it seemed a bit intimidating, and I took a few days to prepare. T...

Last week I featured the Veronica side of the Sci-fi Fantasy Festival, this week some Rachel pics. These two stories cross each other once I worked on one it is an easy transition to work on the other.
I redesigned the comic book cover, using a different font, mostly because I forgot the name of the font I used 10 years ago, and it may not even be loaded on my computer anymore. The ...

I took a break this week from updating SITAR and started working on the Hopepunk City first anniversary patch (version 1.1) and I am far enough in to release a test patch you can try out.
I have not finalized an official release or the promised Android versions yet, but if you have the game, you can use this patch to see what I have done so far.
The biggest addition is the help paths whic...

Last months SITAR update contained a fair amount of new material I spent most of the month working on. The nature of the update wove throughout the game, so I had to test the new material by playing through the old.
All the old pictures still in the game made me sad. I still have a lot of work to do in updating pictures. It took me 6 months to completely update DAR, so it is going to take...

I released the latest SITAR update 0.2 on Saturday. See that post for details if you have access.
SITAR 0.2 comes with about 50 new pictures for a new section that didn't exist in SITA, so I want to avoid spoilers. Here then are my favorite updated pics for stuff that has been in SITA since it came out in 2013.
I'll start with the above picture, which is a new Ice Cream parlor set. It is ...

Today's set features all the current characters, but I haven't featured a Wendy yet (have I ever?)
This month my main focus has been on new to the game content, but I don't want to spoil any of the new content in a picture collection, and new images of old content is a little slim (hence the reason the last two picture collections are content not even in the game).

Normally I post pics that I have been working on for the game, and in the case of the above picture, that is the case, and shared it in the August preview post, too.
But the rest of these pictures are Patreon exclusives. Most of the pictures I have been doing for SITAR is new never before seen plot content, and I don't want to spoil it just yet.

Help, I've been sucked down the Replika rabbit hole!

With the first two SITAR updates my focus was on updating old pictures, I will be releasing another update in August, and this time it will contain some actual new content, not just updated renders.
One area of that new content which I won't get into (don't want to spoil it) is a bridge between where the game is at and the re-introduction of the Paula path.
Another area of new conte...

I mentioned in last week's Pic post that I am focusing on updating SITA pictures in settings that I have already been updated before. One obvious set that is in SITA that has been updated is Ariane's house and backyard, which as soon as I finish updating those I'll release version 0.12 (which is probably out now as I write this)
Here are some images of Lydia's visit to Ariane's hous...

SITA Redux has more Drive-N-Dine pictures than all of the other games combined. Since I am starting the updating process with sets that I had already remodeled in Hopepunk City and Date Ariane Remastered, I figured it would be an easy process of updating the SITAR pictures as well.
But I couldn't help myself. I had to "tinker" with it even further. Most of...

After redoing HooBoy last month, time to update Beach Magazine featuring Rachel on the cover. If Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue can feature visible nipples on the front cover, so can the fictional Beach. Beach is supposed to be a tourism and fashion magazine not nudes, though just like I originally did, there is a group nude.

I've decided for now that I am going to remake pictures like I did in Date Ariane Remastered, and just pick a location and do all the pictures for that location. This week I started working on the restaurant, and Downtown. The restaurant I updated in 2019 for the 4th edition of SITA, so it only took updating it a little more. Downtown itself was redesigned in DAR so I just had to re...

I've been working on new pictures of the bar in Something's In The Air Redux, but I realized that some of the images require that Stacy's "HooBoy" cover and pictures need to be done first. You may notice that Stacy has yet another hairstyle on the cover, that is because of this from Remastered:

Last week I was playing around with new models for some of the characters in the SITA Redux game that I am working on. I've been breaking down the current game to its basics and haven't started making new images yet.
Meaning there is plenty of time to play with the models, and I want to start with "basic" Rachel. The plot is that Rachel is secretly a supermodel, but she is not supposed to...

I uploaded a first draft of Something's In The Air Redux (current working title) and made it accessible to dater patrons at https://arianeb.itch.io/somethings-in-the-air-redux/patreon-access
Major changes from SITA 4th Edition:
As announced last month, my next project is a Something In The Air remake, with the current working title Something In The Air Redux or SITAR for short. I didn't want to call it "remastered" and the dictionary definition of "Redux" (reliving events) seems to fit the time loop theme I'm going for.
I've been working on two things: 1) Trying to create a base alpha game from the current SITA to use...

Decided to finish out the month of May, with some left over pictures I haven't featured yet, not for any reason in particular.
A couple of these are "sex scene" pictures. There are 12 3rd party view stills of Ariane and the player character (6 of each gender) having sex, two randomly show up during sex scenes to add a little variety.
The other 3 are ones that I like out of context o...
