I’ve been tinkering with changing Ariane and Rachel from V4 based figures to La Femme based figures. I’ve decided to abandon the project for a number of reasons. First, no matter how close and recognizable the new versions were, they still didn’t look the same. Comparison test after test show V4 versions win every time. I can say that at

Since the release of Ariane in Paradise, most of the comments have been very positive, so thanks for that. The criticisms pretty much fall into two categories: 1. Bugs: The achievement scoreboard only lists 39 and you need 40 to get bonus content. Well the board left off the “Dead Parrot” achievement, which is one of the achievements that don’t

There is a meme going around where people are comparing themselves in 2009 and today in 2019. I made the above graphic to fit in. The picture on the left came from Date Ariane 6.1 that was released in December 2009. The picture on the right is from Ariane in Paradise released this year. I thought I’d post some of

I’m old enough to remember when sexual minorities in media were never talked about. Anybody wise to sexuality in the 60’s knew that Uncle Arthur on Bewitched was gay but it never got mentioned in the show itself.

I redesigned Something’s In The Air once again to bring it in line with the Date Ariane HD version as well as Rachel Meets Ariane and Ariane in Paradise. All four games now use similar GUI, fonts and 1080p resolution. The changes are as follows: High Definition. The “third edition” is 720p, the “Fourth” is 1080p. The vast majority of

In the last three months, Tlaero herself has done official Renpy conversions of these games and released them for free on Patreon. I changed all the links to the official Patreon pages.

Felt like my website needed a change, so I thought I’d join the trend of implementing a “Dark Mode”, or more accurately a dark palate. My “Plane” theme I have been using does not have such a mode, so I changed to a “Hemingway Rewritten” theme. It’s a nice theme except that it displays the website title in a big

If you sign up for my Patreon at $5 “Dater” level, you can download the official no longer in beta Ariane in Paradise. https://www.patreon.com/dateariane Over the last week or two I have meticulously went over the game fixing all the grammar, spelling, graphic glitches, and even one major bug, so that it works well enough to call it “official”. I

It seems that every time I make a new game with new innovations, I want to go back and change my older games to add those same innovations. One of the new innovations in Ariane in Paradise is that you can play as a male or a female. In fact you can switch genders mid stream, though this may cause

There has been some chaos in real life that is causing me to struggle to finish Ariane in Paradise, but hopefully I’m on track to finish on schedule. Part 3 of 5 has been released to Patreons. I’m hoping to get part 4 up in September, part 5 in October, and a full beta in November, with the full game
