I've be working on Date Ariane 2 pre-dinner pictures this month, trying to render all the pictures representing activities you can do before dinner.
My goal is to get them all plus two of the dinners (pizza and steak) then release the updated game at that point or at the end of the month wh...

Been working on the "pre-dinner" beginning of the game, trying out new ideas instead of copying Remaster.
In remaster you talked to Ariane from a chair that wasn't actually in the room, so this time I decided to start the date with you sitting on the second couch to talk and get to know eac...

I posted this picture already online. It's a render I made this week for Date Ariane 2. With the Remastered version, I created a lot of foreground pictures of Ariane with blank backgrounds to use throughout the game. A lot of these are color corrected by the game, lowering brightness and contrast...

Time to start working on new models. Sometimes this is the most fun and also most nerve wracking part of a new project. Foul up here and you could set yourself up for lots of extra work.

One of the things about making updates to Date Ariane is the constant changes to technology that happens over the ages. 15 years ago Ariane bought a disposable camera for an impromptu photoshoot, now she uses a camera phone.
Ariane has been driving around a doorless SUV with rail bars since...

This week I'm introducing the new Date Ariane 2 Avatars, because they are the easiest to change for this project. There is also some weirdness you might want to know.
"Wait does it have to do with Ariane having bangs now?", well that's a different issue I'll address at the end.

Seriously thinking about a change of look. Opinions?
When in doubt split the difference. A little part in the bangs looks natural, also I agree that the cheek bones are a little too wide so I brough...
This week I'm posting some new pics from the final scene of the latest release Dating in a World on Fire 0.55. This is the first meeting of Gemma and Alex, two major characters for the rest of the game.

Here's the latest update of Dating in a World on Fire with new material that introduces a new character Alex, and answers a fair amount of mysteries while introducing new ones. I'll avoid spoilers and let you play it and find out.

This includes Patreon, as the "Dater" tier will go up to $6 for NEW daters in 2025. Current Dater levels will remain as is. $1 will remain the same.

Like I did in October, I'm offering some holiday pictures to Patreon first and to the rest of social media later. As seem last year this is the "Date Ariane 2.0" living room, which looks a lot like the Date Ariane Remastered living room except it's rendered in Daz instead of Poser.
