Yeah, I've toyed with music a few times, but never liked the royalty free stuff I could find enough. I really like what you did with the nightclub "tap to the music" scene. I tried to do something similar with Coffee for Keisha, but without actual music, mine didn't really work. Yours is much better. (It's also cool to see at least one SITA character in that scene...)

I remember you saying that hit targets were really hard in Renpy. I'm glad to hear that they've either gotten easier or you've figured them out. 6 games in, I'm still trying to find the right balance between difficulty and fun wrt hit targets. Hidden hit targets that result in people missing important things or force them to sweep a mouse across the screen are a pain (a lesson hard learned in the Monkey Island games) but when done right, they're good. You definitely used them well in the dress shop and basketball scenes. I think they're also useful in erotic scenes (tapping body parts, etc) although you've stated that you're going for more R-rated than pornographic in your games, so that's probably not necessary for you. On the other hand, I suspect that scenes with a bunch of text options and a hidden hit target are probably bad (ala the original beach at night scene) although I'm guilty of doing that, even in my latest game. (Wow, I did almost the exact same thing as that scene. I wonder if I was subconsciously stealing from you. I probably do that a fair amount.) The trick, of course, is finding the line in between.

As for "back." I don't need to disable it. I can just not use it. I'm more thinking about the bug reports its probably causing for you. Worse, if someone says, "She did this wrong" because of a back button issue, it reflects on you unfavorably (and unfairly). You might find that you're better off without it. Of course, a significant number of players just care about how to get her to take her shirt off and won't notice minor inconsistencies in variable state. So, maybe it doesn't matter. (-:

I thought the hidden path in the original beach walk scene was cleverly done and very appropriate.

I admit I learned to tab through html games looking for options because of scenes like that, though.

I don't think a game has to spoon-feed the player, nor does it need to be impossibly obscure.

Noticed the renpy version of date ariane 10AE is out and it has some stuff not found in the html version.

Any hints how to get the bedtrio award?

The award comes from walk #21 (the black dress version) which existed in previous versions of the game and is even brought up in SITA, though what you are looking for is probably the end of walk #20.

Well, maybe I'm missing something in my playthroughs, but what I'm trying to get are:

The 4 pictures named bedtrio1.png, bedtrio2.png, bedtrio3.png, bedtrio4.png, which are hidden in the archive.rpa (together with reward1.png and reward2.png).

Looks like the threesome with Rebecca is finally possible...

...although there is no other picture in the game that indicates this is gonna be happen... ;(


BTW: I like that you changed the hairstyle of Ariane in the pictures in the hot tub sex scene and the face expression in the car sex scene with her mouth slightly open looks more erotic (compaired to the html version).
Also adding sound effects definitely improves the experience of the game.
Thanks for this new version.

I haven't been able to find images like those? I always figured that sex scenes like that were too much for arianeb games so I'd be surprised if there were in now.

Anyway, this is one of the first sex games I found, back when I probably shouldn't have been doing that hehe. Nice to see it's still being improved after all these years.

They are inside the file archive.rpa (the renpy archive), you need to extract the content from the renpy archive to see those pictures... ;-P
And I *really* would love it to see a sex scene with Rebecca, threesome preferred, but would also be hot to have Rebecca watching while making out with Ariane or vice versa ;-P

Got it! :D
Nice idea, ArianeB! This compromise is a good move ;P Thanks.

P.S. If Ariane thinks they all would end up in picking the 'easiest' position with her doing all the work, why not considering both girls 'line up' position? She should think over ;-)

But seriously, I know, Ariane is not that kind of woman.

Yeah, I can't figure out how to extract archive to see what you mean.

However, is it just all three of you getting drunk and sleeping in the same bed naked? Because that was in the original game :/

Yay, someone finally found it!
I knew many players wanted to see a three-way and I decided the post strip club would be the best point. So I spent $9 at Renderotica for some V4V4M4 poses, and did some test runs.

From the "first person perspective" they looked really awful, and uncomfortable. So I started thinking what if Ariane started making jokes in the middle about how uncomfortable it all was, and turn it into a funny scene. Then I got uncomfortable of the whole idea of Ariane being pressured/outvoted to do something she was not comfortable doing.

I was about to abandon the whole scene when I came up with this compromise which allows me to 1. abandon first person for the sexiest angle possible and 2. allow Ariane the freedom to decline which is more her style (and kind of the point of the entire game).

Oh, so you were actually thinking of doing that. Neat.

Course, I still have no clue how to actually look at the pics but eh

Just downloaded and started giving this version a try. Didn't dive into any code yet, so you'll just get the traceback.
After dinner and downtown trip, Ariane in jeans and shirt, she suggested a swim race rematch in the kitchen...

(Absolute path deleted)
Full traceback:
File "game/house.rpy", line 626, in script call
call SwimRace from _call_SwimRace_2
File "game/calledevents.rpy", line 345, in script
show expression SwimRaceStart[dress] at top
File "\DateAriane-win\renpy\ast.py", line 1040, in execute
show_imspec(self.imspec, atl=getattr(self, "atl", None))
File "\DateAriane-win\renpy\ast.py", line 1001, in show_imspec

As I mentioned the renpy version has some new content and this new scene is really worth a new playthrough. You would be surprised.
Just follow walktrough 20 as ArianeB mentioned and when done with your show in front of the two ladies, just choose 'let's do it' ;-)

I'd like to see this ending makes it into the html version as well...

Hey Ariane,

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet; but does this version of the game generate the code to take into SITA? I haven't come across that yet, but i thought that there may be additional content coming to SITA too
perhaps related to your above mentioned threesome dreams (a great addition by the way)

Ah, so I see, I was trying to extract the archive thing XD

I believe Ariane said that keeping that whole thing code generator was too hard to do in renpy, and that it wasn't worth the extra coding to make it considering how little it was used.
