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 …
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 …

Something's In The Air is one year old this week, at least the open beta is. Combined Beta and 1.0 downloads has reached 93,000. I recently did a new play through using my tablet PC, and only found two minor bugs. I plan to do a 1.1 version once the Date Ariane update is done, …

After over two years of work, Something's In The Air is finally done (for now), with version 1.0 now released. You can download it here for Windows, Mac, or Linux. Two years seems like a long time for a fairly short game, but this was a very part time hobby, and I would not have …
