Pic 44: Getting Ready for Bed

Here are remasters of some of the most seen images in Date Ariane. "After1" is my default post sex image, which reappears in Something's In The Air as a key flashback scene.  It is also a modest nude pose.  It is a...

Pic 43: Garage and Bedroom

For the next update, I want to finish all the house pictures, and it is the garage and bedroom that are currently missing.  Bedroom is the biggest of the two and I built a new set for it.  I decided that I don't really a ne...

Pics 42: Swimming and Hot Tub

My latest picture remastering has focused on the pool and the hot tub.  A fair amount involved using the old rendering files, which I could do because pool and hot tub portions of the sets are unchanged, just the stuff around th...

Date Ariane Remastered 0.14 Build

Here is the latest build of Date Ariane Remastered.  Every time I play it, I find something new that needs to be changed, so it is far from perfect, but I still have a few months to make it perfect, so I'll just release it "as is" for now.

Summary of changes:  Added remastered backyard images and coding, inclu...

Pics 41: New Backyard

Last week I built a set, or rather found one that came with Poser 12 and decided it fit what I was looking for, and started producing pictures that take place in the backyard.  Stargazing, barbecue, and general background pics a...

Pic 40: Holiday Pics

Hey all it's December.  I know many people are asking, "It's December already?", but with everything I have been doing this year, I'm asking, "It's only December?"

On the Date Ariane Remaster front, I am building ...

Pic 39: Couch Makeout

Every version of Date Ariane simulator has had the steak dinner I showed last week and the couch makeout scene that I am showing off this week.  You can compare these pics to the old ones 2021-11-25 22:01:01 +0000 UTC View Post

Pics 38: Table Pics

Working on the pictures from the kitchen and living room that haven't been redone yet.  A large number are sitting at the table across from Ariane.  Here is one during the pizza dinner.

Pics 37: Release 0.12 Images

Pic 36: Selected New Remaster Renders

I'm spending my time these days creating new renders for Date Ariane Remastered, so most of the weekly pics will be some of the best renders I did over the past week.

The first one above is the "slow dance" picture whi...

Pic 35: Happy Halloween

Yes, this years Halloween picture is the same theme as last years, but the theme of female Batman villains and the Hopepunk City girls is so good, I don't have anything better.  I'm including some of last years pics, including a...

Date Ariane Remastered "Template" Edition

I am launching the "template" edition of Date Ariane Remastered.  It is basically Date Ariane with the Ariane in Paradise/Hopepunk City interface replacing the old interface. 

For now it uses the old pictures which do...

Pic 34: Date Ariane's New (old) Look

Based on comments here, the purple robe top seems to be the most popular, and returning to the Ariane in Paradise hair style is a good idea that most people agreed with.  It is actually very similar to the original hair...

Pic 33: Testing hair and "black dress" options

The following picture are all flawed in one way or another. This is on purpose as I am testing hair and dress options.  As you can see in the background, I am playing with the living room. I learned from Hopepunk City, ...

Pic 32: Trying New Casual Outfits for Date Ariane

This is the beginning of working on Date Ariane Remastered.  Since I will be redoing all the graphics, I may as well take the time to update Ariane's look. Here are some possible casual outfits for Ariane.

The Plan for October and Rest of the year at least

Hopepunk City is now available to everybody, so it is no longer a Patreon exclusive. It will still be free to $5 Patreons, and I may need to update my sticky post with those links.

My next project is Date Ariane Remastered, or reimagined, or rebooted, I haven't settled on a name, but it is the original game wit...

Pic 31: The Greenhouse Pan

Now that I have basically released the game there is not much new to show you.  Last minute changes came from replacing pics in scenes that used the same pics in other scenes.

I do this a lot, but two scenes that were way ...

Hopepunk City 1.0 The version to be released Oct 1 to everybody

Here it is, finally version 1.0.

Only minor changes from version 0.99:

Pic 30: Domestic Life

The last thing I added to 0.9, which will be the version that becomes 1.0 if there are no bugs found or rewrites needed, is a couple of one picture scenes.  The last paths I did were the paths where Ariane or Rachel move in with...

Hopepunk City Case File: Getting Jobs

Getting jobs is a major component of the game. The job game was inspired by The Sims, and kind of follows similar rules.  You can choose a path and with learning, exercise, or just experience you can get 17 different jobs.  ...

Hopepunk City Patch 0.99

I've been playing the game nightly, switching between PC and Android, looking for little annoyances that need fixing, and small things that I can do to make the game better.  Here is the results of that. I think I am close to finalizing a 1.0 release and making it available on October 1.  Final three "Case File" wal...

Android 11 and Renpy (updated)

There are some known issues with Android apk files generated on the latest versions of Renpy.  It has to do with getting the apk files ready for the Play Store, and the result is that these apk files randomly crash when played on Android 11 devices, which thanks to auto updating, is now most devices.

Luckily I have...

Pic 29: Updated transition pics

One of the first pics I made for this project was Rachel, Ariane, and at the time Trish standing in the hall.  It was the last pic that needed to be updated.  I made three versions: Month one, month 2 and month 3.
