Ariane in Paradise is divided up into 3 days, each one being sort of a mini visual novel, which if successful leads to the next day. I recently completed “Day 1”, meaning I’m a third of the way done. Day one, like act 1 of a story, is about establishing character and settings. Day 1 objective is to learn 4

In honor of Renpy version 7 finally being released, I’m releasing Date Ariane, one of the most downloaded Renpy games ever (5.9 million downloads all versions combined), in Renpy 7 and in HD. The images are all 1500×900, originally rendered when I did the graphics update in 2017. Add in the 180px black bottom part and the total resolution is

I’ve been posting random pictures I’m making for the game on other social media. Thought I’d collect them here in one post. Here is a render I really like of Ariane eating a banana in front of a grocery store. Some have pointed out that the banana looks huge. I think that if you are on a tropical island where

I have been hesitant to post anything about this, because I have a bad habit of starting something and then bailing on it half way through, but I am far enough along on this project to tell you about it. If you follow me on Facebook and Tumblr, you may have noticed that my latest Ariane pictures look similar and

I have experimented a little with trying to create 3D images that actually look 3D. Years ago, I did the Stereo “Magic Eye” thing. (this is supposed to be a woman reading a book on a couch) About a decade ago, I also attempted my own red-cyan anaglyph (which doesn’t look that good). So with Oculus Go, I discovered I

I mentioned in January’s blog post that there has been a number of attempts to make VR more mainstream and there are a number of obstacles to overcome to get people there. The biggest one being cost. Then buried in the numerous stories regarding Facebook is the release of the cheapest ever entry point into VR: Oculus Go. For as

The battle for Net-Neutrality, which despite of what you heard is still ongoing, seems to have changed government regulators attitudes towards the internet on what they can and cannot regulate and censor. I knew this is where it would go. As soon as you let Government change how the internet works, you open the doors to all sorts of shenanigans.

Over the past month, I have been debating on updating Ariane for her next game. The above was an early draft which I am NOT going to use as I will explain. Like many in the 3D People Rendering Community, I am still torn between the Poser vs Daz Studio rift, which I previously catalogued here, and here. The last

Fellow erotic visual novel writers Tlaero and Mortze continue to up the game with their latest release Saving Chloe, which I believe is probably the best game of the genre ever, and sets the bar for the rest of us who work in this genre. The story is excellent, the artwork is excellent, the 9 possible “good” endings all contain
