Pic 159: AiP Selections from Day 1

 Suddenly I have too many photos to share. Decided to pick my favorites from each scene that I haven't shared yet.

This is from the opening hotel pool scene. Genesis 8.1 characters can be much more expressive than the old 4.2, s...

Very early "demo" video from the AiP 2.0 project

 When I was ready to move Ariane in Paradise to Steam one requirement for Steam is to create a trailer. Because Ariane in Paradise has no demo, I also made a Demo sample of the game and shared that on You Tube.

I recently finishe...

Pic 158: Learning Daz Studio better by remaking AiP

I started my Ariane in Paradise Remastered project. Going from Poser to Daz Studio is tricky. Until recently Poser was the better program because of usability and persistent bugs in Daz, but Poser has a limited support ...

Pic 157: Updating Ariane and Rachel to Daz Studio

A little experiment to end the month of May. Could I create new Ariane and Rachel characters to use in Daz Studio. These would be Genesis 8.1 based characters, the current models are based on Victoria 4.2 which has gotten way outdated.

Dating in a World on Fire Alpha 0.35

 Here is the May update for Dating in a World on Fire. This involves a visit to a "Holo Experiences" franchise. I imagine a "Holodeck" but not everything is solid or manipulateable. It's a fun sci-fi idea for a date.

This update...

Pic 156: Relay in Wonderland

 As I stated a couple of weeks ago, the third section is very original, and except for a "Wonderland" theme, I'd rather not spoil too much.

Pic 155: Visiting Duquesne with Relay

 I said last week that my plan is a "nostalgic" path and here it is. A holo experience set in Duquesne, the tourist island form Ariane in Paradise.

Some Poser props work easily in Daz Studio, and some don't. Luckily the ...

Pic 154: The Cenote Bath

 Upon completion of the Mayan quiz room, you enter a "Cenote", what the Mayans call their cisterns where they collected rain water to drink or for crops.

Ariane in Paradise Now on Steam

Was working on a new series of Relay photos set on the Pirate's Cove set, when a couple of characters walked by looking to promote a game on Steam.

Pic 153: Mayan Ruins Hologram

 Last week I shared test pics for a scene I wanted to do. This week I've been busy writing and illustrating the scene. The second half is taking a while to render, but I am done with the first half.

You enter a place that sells ...

Pic 152: Testing After Dinner Activities

 Finally finish the dinners, now what?

I got ideas for the end of the date, and ideas for the second date, but the truth is, I really hadn't thought enough about what happens after dinner. Now it's crunch time to figure it out. 2024-04-26 21:00:06 +0000 UTC View Post

Dating in a World on Fire alpha 0.3

It's been two months since version 0.25 back in February. Lots of RL distractions, and work on "Steam" Ariane in Paradise, and "voiced" Hopepunk City distracted me from this game.

But I'm back! I only have "steam" Hopepunk City...

Pic 151: Classic "Romantic Comedy" Dinner

 This dinner branches off the visit to the community garden and is based on a common trope in romantic comedies where the new couple has dinner with an old veteran couple, as seen in "Annie Hall", "When Harry Met Sally", "Notting Hill"...

Hopepunk City 1.5 Released. NOW WITH VOICE!

After coming close a couple of times on Patreon, the game is now fully voiced and available on all sites and formats.

Pic 150: Ariane in Paradise on Steam Preview

When Ariane in Paradise goes to Steam, this is the big image that will be seen at the top. No she's not sailing nude, but this image is twice as wide as normal. I of course rendered the nude version, too.

It's a variation of th...

Ariane in Paradise Trailer

Available to Patreons now, awaiting Steam approval before I release it to the public.

Pic 149: The Pizza Dinner

Two months ago I showed an image of Relay ordering pizza. (See Pic 141) This week it finally arrives.

Pizza dinner follows pretty much the Date Ariane Remastered version of Pizza Dinner, except how it gets delivered.<...

Pic 148: The Virtual Dinner Bad Path

Last week I shared some pics of a "Virtual Dinner" path. Thought I'd show the rest of the "bad path". I got all the art done, haven't coded it yet. I have more time next month to do the other two paths and get an update posted. 2024-03-29 21:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post

Hopepunk City 1.5 Voice and picture upgrade

I don't have an update for Dating in a World on Fire this month because it has been a busy month IRL, but I did manage to mostly finish an update for Hopepunk City 1.5.

This includes all the scenes in the mai...

Pic 147: Virtual Dinner with Relay

I thought I'd show more of what I started last week. I want to try and make each of the three dinners be unique. One, the pizza dinner, will be similar to Date Ariane, but the other two will be unique.

Eating Relay in Augmente...

Pic 146 : Virtual Relay

I decided that the very beginning of the game where you see Relay in a virtual classroom needed to change.  I used a version as she appeared when I converted her to character creator 4, but I didn't want to use that version anyw...

Pic 145: Garden in Blue

This post is going to be odd and short.  March is a busy month between some medical stuff and short notice flights across the country. So there may be some "bare bones" picture posts like this one.

These are the three gard...

Pic 144: The Warehouse Floor

This week I am featuring images from the warehouse which was just introduced into the Dating in a World on Firegame this past week.  There are only 3 pics in the game, the high resolution PNGs.  Above is a new expe...

Dating in a World on Fire Alpha 0.25

I am making this available to Dater Level Patrons and above at 2024-02-26 20:20:23 +0000 UTC View Post

Pic 143: You Should Be Dancin' Yeah!

In keeping with the spirit of Date Ariane, before dinner there is an opportunity to do some dancing.  Instead of a 4 frame animation, it is a 20 frame animation Here's some stills.  To keep it from taking forever t...

Hopepunk City 1.5 Partial voicing upgrade

Here's the first voice patch for Hopepunk City, this months free game for Daters.  I am making this patch available to all levels but if you are not Dater level you need the game version 1.1 to upgrade with.
