Pic 82: Starry Night
September is going fast and I am working on the next update of Something's In The Air Redux which will be released next week. I'm working on finishing remaking all the Ariane pics, which I should be able to do except the "House Party" path that requires some set redesign.The above pi...
Pic 81: Ariane and Lydia (Part 2)
In late July I shared some Ariane and Lydia pictures from the game, and promised I'd finish the "tercera" ending. It is now mostly complete, just a few transition pics away from finishing, but I thought I'd share what I have done so far.When I looked at the remastered art still left ...
Pic 80: Rachel at the Festival
Last week I featured the Veronica side of the Sci-fi Fantasy Festival, this week some Rachel pics. These two stories cross each other once I worked on one it is an easy transition to work on the other.I redesigned the comic book cover, using a different font, mostly because I forgot the name of the ...
Hopepunk City 1.1 Beta Patch
I took a break this week from updating SITAR and started working on the Hopepunk City first anniversary patch (version 1.1) and I am far enough in to release a test patch you can try out.I have not finalized an official release or the promised Android versions yet, but if you have the game, you can ...
Pic 79: Veronica at the Festival (and plans for September)
Last months SITAR update contained a fair amount of new material I spent most of the month working on. The nature of the update wove throughout the game, so I had to test the new material by playing through the old.All the old pictures still in the game made me sad. I still have a lot of work to do ...
Pic 78: My favorite new pics for SITAR 0.2
I released the latest SITAR update 0.2 on Saturday. See that post for details if you have access.SITAR 0.2 comes with about 50 new pictures for a new section that didn't exist in SITA, so I want to avoid spoilers. Here then are my favorite updated pics for stuff that has been in SITA since it ca...

Pic 77: Notebook Portraits
Today's set features all the current characters, but I haven't featured a Wendy yet (have I ever?)This month my main focus has been on new to the game content, but I don't want to spoil any of the new content in a picture collection, and new images of old content is a little slim (hence ...
Pic 76: Cheerleader Ariane and Friends
Normally I post pics that I have been working on for the game, and in the case of the above picture, that is the case, and shared it in the August preview post, too.But the rest of these pictures are Patreon exclusives. Most of the pictures I have been doing for SITAR is new never before seen plot c...
Pic 75: Weird Side Project = New Character
Help, I've been sucked down the Replika rabbit hole!Over the weekend I was reminded about the movie "Her", and I googled the movie at one point. Somehow that led to You Tube deciding to recommend a video about the dangers of the "Replika" chatbot entitled "REPLIKA - A Mental ...
August Goals
With the first two SITAR updates my focus was on updating old pictures, I will be releasing another update in August, and this time it will contain some actual new content, not just updated renders.One area of that new content which I won't get into (don't want to spoil it) is a bridge betwe...
Pic 74: Ariane and Lydia (Part 1)
I mentioned in last week's Pic post that I am focusing on updating SITA pictures in settings that I have already been updated before. One obvious set that is in SITA that has been updated is Ariane's house and backyard, which as soon as I finish updating those I'll release version 0.12 (...
Pic 73: The New Drive-N-Dine
SITA Redux has more Drive-N-Dine pictures than all of the other games combined. Since I am starting the updating process with sets that I had already remodeled in Hopepunk City and Date Ariane Remastered, I figured it would be an easy process of updating the SITAR pictures as well.But I couldn't...

Pic 72: Rachel in The Seychelles
After redoing HooBoy last month, time to update Beach Magazine featuring Rachel on the cover. If Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue can feature visible nipples on the front cover, so can the fictional Beach. Beach is supposed to be a tourism and fashion magazine not nudes, though just like I original...
Pic 71: Inside Lizard's Lounge
Part of the fun of doing all updated images is remembering the making of the original pictures. This picture is an update of this picture from the original game which I spent a ton of time on. Rendering the original image using the ray tracer on Poser 9 that I was using at the time took forever. I l...
Pic 70: Downtown Portraits
I've decided for now that I am going to remake pictures like I did in Date Ariane Remastered, and just pick a location and do all the pictures for that location. This week I started working on the restaurant, and Downtown. The restaurant I updated in 2019 for the 4th edition of SITA, so it only ...
Ariane in Paradise 1.20 sneak peek
In early July, I'll be releasing a 1.20 version of Ariane in Paradise to the general public, but thought I would let you Patrons get a week head start. If you already have version 1.10 or higher, download and install this patch.The main thing it adds is "help paths" that work like the on...

Pic 69: (Nice!) HooBoy Summer Edition
I've been working on new pictures of the bar in Something's In The Air Redux, but I realized that some of the images require that Stacy's "HooBoy" cover and pictures need to be done first. You may notice that Stacy has yet another hairstyle on the cover, that is because of this f...
Pic 68: Girls of the Restaurant Bar
I've been juggling about 4 projects at once, but I have finally started working on new images for SITA. Because I did some work on the bar for Date Ariane Remastered, I decided to start there. So here is the first picture of the game, and also the first Rachel.As you can see, I decided to keep t...

Pic 67: Finding a basic hair style for Rachel
Last week I was playing around with new models for some of the characters in the SITA Redux game that I am working on. I've been breaking down the current game to its basics and haven't started making new images yet.Meaning there is plenty of time to play with the models, and I want to start...

Pic 66: SITAR Test images (and preview for June)
As announced last month, my next project is a Something In The Air remake, with the current working title Something In The Air Redux or SITAR for short. I didn't want to call it "remastered" and the dictionary definition of "Redux" (reliving events) seems to fit the time loop the...
Pics 65: Assorted DAR leftovers
Decided to finish out the month of May, with some left over pictures I haven't featured yet, not for any reason in particular.A couple of these are "sex scene" pictures. There are 12 3rd party view stills of Ariane and the player character (6 of each gender) having sex, two randomly show...
Pics 64: Dressed vs Nude Park Photos
Not sure if you reached the bonus park photoshoot yet, it requires a lucky bottle spin, but it is a mix of the swimsuit and formal dress photoshoots, only nude. Here's a side by side comparison.Date Ariane Remastered coming to Steam!Slipping in an extra note that the game will be available on St...
Remaking Something's In The Air is a much bigger project
With the release of Date Ariane Remastered, that means three of my games (including Ariane in Paradise and Hopepunk City) have updated cycles rendered graphics and can be played as a male or female player character. Rachel Meets Ariane, which I hope to update soon (more on that later) doesn't in...
Pics 63: Dressed vs Nude Vista Photos
When doing the bonus, I did two things: removed clothes and used a special nude model. Thought I'd do some side by side comparisons.
