Ariane in Paradise Now Has A Demo
I never actually made a “Demo” for Ariane in Paradise. At the time of it’s release in 2019, I thought it was so similar to my other games that the other games would serve as a demo of sorts. If you liked Date Ariane and Something’s In The Air, you should like Ariane in Paradise too. No need for a demo.
That all changed this month with the release of Ariane in Paradise 2.0 which uses Daz graphics instead of my traditional Poser graphics. It is now different enough to demand it’s own demo for potential buyers.
For now the demo is only available on itch.io https://arianeb.itch.io/ariane-in-paradise Mac and PC (linux and Windows) is available. I’m working to get it on Steam, too. They have several hurdles to jump through.
I may not make an android version, I’m still working on an android version of the full game. It is getting harder to make stable apk files that can be used on android devices, so I can’t even guarantee it will happen. Got a usable build ready, but getting it into android is a big trick.
The demo consist of the first two scenes of the game, the one at the hotel pool, and the second one at the village. The demo ends where the three day 1 paths diverge. There is some brief partial nudity in the demo that is also in the game during these scenes.
For those thinking about buying you can at least try before buying. When you are ready to purchase, there are several options.
Demo should be on Steam later this week as soon as it gets approved, Also the steam store listing pictures have been updated to the latest version of the game.

Compliments (again) for the enhanced Ariane trip.
In the demo I’ve find a bug:

I was trying to remove full frontal from the demo, but I must have missed a reference
Fixed the issue causing the bug, and by request of Steam, made the naked people in the background of the pool scene extra blurry. Didn’t realize making a demo for a completed game would be so hard.
