Date Ariane The Game: One Year Later
This weekend marks the first anniversary of the release of the Renpy version of Date Ariane: The Game.
Since its release, it has been downloaded 2.7 million times, which is pretty darn good for an independently produced game. There may be some overlap as multiple versions were released, and people were updating, but in the same time frame I have had over 2 million unique visitors to the web site.
Some numbers: 55% were windows downloads, 38% were android downloads, 6% were Apple Mac, and 1% were Linux.
61% of the downloads were in English, 28% were in Portuguese, 8% in German, 3% in French, and 0.6% in Spanish.
Pretty impressive considering the foreign language versions have only been around since late March. The game has gone viral in Brazil, with 750,000 downloads from there in the last 4 months.
Date Ariane has a gaming channel on You Tube with over 100 videos listed. (almost all the most recent are in Portuguese). A general gaming search produces 473 videos currently.
I’m currently in the process of uploading new versions of the games that include over 100 new renders like the one above. Notice how the window reflects the interior now, which happens when it is dark outside. All the new renders are in the living room and the drive-in diner.
I can’t change the international versions much without killing the translation mechanism, so the minor tweaks I made to the English version are not in the International versions. However, the improved pictures are there, and also a new TITLE SCREEN! Once released the French, German, and Portuguese versions will no longer say they are in beta. All versions should be updated by the end of the month.
Something’s In The Air has now passed 500,000 downloads. There seems to be a lot of call for a Portuguese version, but it would need 6 to 10 translators to do it right. I could release a machine translation that I know everyone would hate.
Got some ambitious plans for the future, including a 6 episode season of stories involving Ariane and Rachel where this is the first episode. I’m also thinking about new games involving SITA girls Paula, Wendy, and Janice. (You are probably trying to remember who Janice was, aren’t you?)
I’m also considering an HD versions of Date Ariane and SITA that I could make available for sale on Steam or something, that would be made from high resolution PNG files like this one or this one.
I think I got my work cut out for me.
Date Ariane Games 
Congratulations on your anniversary(for Date Ariane of course).
Both games are nothing short of amazing: Re-updating and all.
Also… That’s great news.
I’m looking forward to your 6 episode season, and possibly more to come.
Although, with how many virtual reality games are going underway…
I can’t help but wonder if you might consider getting a game out there for virtual reality in the future.
If it’s just because you can’t think of any that would fit…there was that game you had in mind set in the future.
If you’re too busy to, that’s ok. Just offering a suggestion.
I’m ready to help you again with the Portuguese translation.
Thanks. Not sure when I’ll get around to it. Many things on the table right now.
I see. But, if you want to continue this project, please, let me know.
It would be great a translation into Portuguese. I see many people wanting to Portuguese version.
I just hope that in the future have the Portuguese version.
🙂
It would be nice a Portuguese translation.
I hope that in the future have a Portuguese translation.

Impressive! Imagine this on an iPAd.
It would be great on an iPad. I have a Windows tablet and an Android tablet that I run it on for testing.
Unfortunately, until Apple starts allowing this kind of game in their app store, it’s not going to get there.
I speak to having trouble in the living room the error is this I’m sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
While running game code:

MOBack = [0,0,”moback1″,”moback2″,0,0,”moback6″,0,”moback8″]
To get this error, you must have rubbed her back when Ariane wasn’t topless, nude, or in a dress.
It would help to know how this error happened.

“She was naked in the living room, and when I selected one of the following: “Rub her thighs”, “Rub her back” or “Touch her pussy”, this error appeared, on the Android version. Can you help?”
You’re welcome 🙂
ta with same mistake I
Hey Ariane, big fan of your work here, I really think that Wendy should be more important in SITA (She’s my favorite character), keep doing this awesome job
it was what I understood she tava lying naked in the living room there when tightening these options massage her back, rubbing his thighs or touch your pussy appears this error said there encima can it help me?
I know Apple doesn’t allow these types of games on the App Store, but couldn’t you just release an ipa on your website, like a third party app, kind of like how you did with Android?
I loooove Ariane
Hey Ariane,
thanks for releasing great games. But please, if you do a rework or a whole new game please don’t release exclusively on steam. DRM sucks and valve isn’t really good in supporting Linux. DRM free games are much better, if not enough people donate there are stores out there wich distribute your game DRM free (such as GOG or humble store).
The original Date Ariane is an amazing game. I 100% completed it, played every possible route and such, and not because of the sex scenes (like most people would think when seeing that a game has porn – most people in Brazil actually play the game just to be funny, and I think it goes for the US as well). The remake changed the gameplay (I really liked the old system of clicking on what you want to do 😥 ), made everything ugly (I’m still not used to that Ariane, what the hell), but at least it’s got the same content… However, the sequel is really bad. One of the main great things about Date Ariane was that it was so open-ended. SITA removed that completely. I just find it so boring.
