Ariane in Paradise 2.0 release
🕑 Added 2024-09-04 06:45:15 +0000 UTC 
I am now done with all the picture updates.
Day 3 stuff took longer than I thought it would. I haven't really tested it out fully. But I promised a build by the end of the month and luckily this month is 31 days long. The full 2.0 release took a few days longer. Please report bugs if you find any.
Here's the link to the download: https://arianeb.itch.io/ariane-in-paradise-demo/patreon-access
This release is basically an early Patreon exclusive while I replay all the paths looking for bugs. I'm also working on the steam update release which I want to release at the same time as the itchio update version.
Things I did do:
All the Day 3 images, the three paths, all the extra bits in those paths.
Updated the credits scene, and the Message from Ariane epilogue.
I've been playing with a new game mechanic where it shows the player changing clothes whenever they do so in the game. Some players don't like this and don't like to see the player avatars at all. There has always been an option to hide avatars, but I added a second option to hide undress animations. Hiding avatar will hide both. It is really easy for this to be disabled, so make sure "Player Undress" is set to "Show" in Properties.
I "double shaped" the swimsuit sales person on Day 1, and she had an odd figure as a result. Redid those pics with a better shaped dress shop woman. (She's in the bonus section, wouldn't have bothered if she wasn't) Yet another lesson I learned about Daz doing this project.
I updated the Spanish translation. Most of the changes were changes I made to the positioning of the text, and they were already translated by Moskys. The rest were the new undress mechanic. The Spanish version is generic "you take off your clothes" / "you put on your clothes"
The bonus scene where all the characters show up at the pool naked. This was the last thing I needed to do -- and it's done.
Updated the game icon with an image from the current version.
Things I haven't done yet:
Create a demo game. One low res with no nudity to be playable online at itch.io, and one downloadable on itch or steam that contains nudity that exists in the scenes it includes. The demo will include the intro scene at the pool, and the first part of the city. It will end where it branches to the three paths: the information center / ticket counter / or bus stop.
Things I haven't done and won't do:
Update the summer camp flashback. Steam does not allow any scenes with under aged characters in adult games, even if the scenes are perfectly innocent like this one is. I have managed to replace it in the steam version with Ariane just telling the story with no flashback pictures, but decided to exclude it from Daz re-renders as well as it's a stand alone scene.
Update the epilogue with the characters from SITAR and Hopepunk City that bridges the gap between the three games. Since Ariane in Paradise is the only one of the three being updated it would introduce too many continuity issues.
Edit to add: There is a tiny bug in the version I posted for patreon. Download the attachment and paste it in the game directory and it will fix the bug. The bug is in the achievements section, if you earn the Cabin FAQ achievement, and click on it in the achievement, it will give you some missing page message without this file.
The reason for this bug is interesting, when you are on the sailboat asking Lyn about life aboard the sailboat, the old version would switch between 8 different pictures. I now animate the boat rocking with a single large picture, so the 8 old pictures don't exist anymore.
