I promised earlier that I would introduce some characters of the visual novel when I was done doing their story. I finally finished story 4, which is the largest of the 6 stories, and the one I needed to finish to get it out of the way, so I could move to the easier stuff. I am trying to make

I’ve been doing lots of cool stuff for the sequel game Something’s In The Air (SITA), but I don’t want to show it all because that would spoil the game. But a few teaser renders wouldn’t hurt. Back in October 2010, I was showing off sets I built for downtown locations. Those sets will show up in SITA as well,

It has been about 6 months since I actively started working on the “sequel”, so you are due for an update. The biggest news is that I have settled on a title, which is quite an accomplishment considering that the original Date Ariane Simulator never really had an official title. After toying with “Second Date” (which is the project folder

Time for an update on whats going on with “the sequel” which still does not have a title yet. Actually, I have not been working on it much the last month.

I suspect that, like the character update, there will be those that will say “That sounds awesome!”, and others that will

One of the changes I made to the 7.1 version was to replace the hostess at the strip club with a new model, because the old hostess just can’t cut it anymore. Now after working with a bunch of new models and creating the sequel, it is becoming more and more obvious that Ariane herself needs to be updated. I

So I mentioned last time that I had a challenge in creating a crowded movie theater. Challenge Met!! I have no idea if or when I will finish this sequel, but I am having a lot of fun giving myself challenges and meeting them. It is like a really different video game, with daily new mission and quests to get

So after a bunch of prep work (that I still have not finished), I decided to start the long but fun task of making pictures for the sequel, and thought I’d share the first two. One of the pictures I changed in the 7.1 date was the picture of driving up to the restaurant downtown. There is now a bar
