CIL: Art with Carla v1.6 (ES - EN - FR - IT)

[Greebo]

A year and five months seems rather long to hope for a response.

Sorry for the delay guys. I keep working in the game (actually games, several at same time), but my free time is very limited so I progress slowly... bit a bit.

I have not dates I just... I'm on it.

Thanks for asking guys! Very appreciated someone remember my games!

Is not only that someone remembers your games, I keep checking your Twitter account and Chapters in Love website weekly (each and every week since 2016) in the hope that someday it may be a surprise, because your two previous games were really great, not that "seduce your mother/sister/daughter" crap with several dozens of chapters leading nowhere that floods internet nowadays. I'm really done with that games where your character hasn't still touched the girl but you have seen her completely naked in gratuitous scenes (like the typical shower scene), or where the girl is a shy and really young girl with a perfectly depilated pussy and a porn star actitude towards sex.

Yours present realistic situations and are way more exciting than today standards, so I (we) will keep waiting and replaying your games from time to time, so, thanks again for your time and effort.

Arizona, have you seen the new Ren'Py port of A Night with Sarah?

PS. This website is censoring the name of the linked website so I'm posting it with a space at the beggining.

Hi Enaitz,

Thanks for letting me know, I had no idea about that port!

After reading your message I just wanted to put an update about the games:

In a nutshell, after "Art with Carla" I really wanted to complete the stories with new games but at same time I wasn't very happy with the result of the two games I made, so I decided to start again and start writing all my stories at same time. That has been way more complicated than I expected, I never found a game engine that was good for what I wanted to do (and I'm still looking for one) so I decided to focus on learning how to do better renders. At the moment I'm working in renders and game scripts for 5 games and I'll use them in a game engine as soon as I finish the first game script and renders. Unfortunately my work and personal life is also taking a lot of my time so the progress for this is very slow, the render times with my pc isn't helping neither. The first two games will be remakes for "A night with Sara" and "Art with Carla", expanding the original stories (specially for A night with Sara, for which the real story is waaay longer and complicated than what we see in the game).

I've been doing and redoing renders for the new games for years, removing everything and starting again from scratch a lot of times, never happy with the result. It has been very frustrating, but finally, one day, I felt happy with the results so now things are moving foreward.

Just a demo of a Sara render: https://i.ibb.co/fMRyMRP/cover4k.png

It's definitely not the best art out there, but at least I'm happy with it (there are way better renders I have for the games, but I don't want to spoiler ). It's at least, a big improvement from what I did before.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Wow, great news and great render.

Really happy to hear you never left the scene, looking forward for the release of the new remakes, in the future any news would be much appreciated.

Merry Christmas and thanks for your work.

Still nothing new?

I'm still working on the next games, slowly... as my current life doesn't give much time for it... but I try to make at least 4-5 hours per week to work on them. I may will start posting regular updates about the progress soon, not sure if I should open a patreon (free for everyone) or use another platform to post updates and get some feedback...

any ideas?

[9-corto]

Having a working Twitter account, I would stick to it for announcing the updates, and maybe using some other platform to discuss the improvements.

Problem is that five years is a long time and your old games may be slowly forgotten as time goes passing by. I think that you should try to give some updates from time to time, to keep the expectations high. Good luck anyway.

Who would have guessed we are getting close to 10 years since the game was released but no sequels yet, which is quite unfortunate. Even though both of your games aren't one of the best works, Art with Carla is arguably one of the better erogames, mostly because of the story and the interaction between the characters. Sadly, I believe many players have missed what story really wants to tell, as it's about a girl that's quite gullible and easy to manipulate, which opens up possibilities for breaking further her principles including sleeping again with MC while being in a relationship (which ending kinda implies but doesn't elaborate further) and not just a main love interest of MC. Although based on real story, we don't see who else is MC messaging (like other more easier girls), as such messages would add more to realism and probably lower the importance of the character of Carla, but that would probably have added more to overall complexity of the game and it would took away the charm it has in current state. To sum it up, its quite a good game even with all the flaws and supposed monotonous ending.

I'm hoping you (Arizona) would be able to deliver something in 2026, as it would really be great to see the continuation of the story in both games. In case you are struggling with motivation or financially, opening patreon or similar could only help you, as fans like me could donate and also check current state of the game.

You could fully make the game in your language (Spanish) and just let AI do the translation, parts of the story/dialog/images or even get AI to do coding for you (or some parts of the code). It might be looked as lame but AI is just a tool like any other.

Here are some of the images generated with AI, trying to imitate Carla's default appearance in semi-realistic way:

Of course, nothing really special, just some random generations trying to get the body, hair, glasses,freckles and the granny clothing to match the description shared here on forum.
Do note, all this gens were done just with Positive and Negative prompts and I haven't even touched Lora's, In-painting and other AI tools.
