v1.5

Date Ariane Remastered is now voiced!

I used AI voice via Eleven Labs, the same I used for Something’s In the Air Redux, to voice Date Ariane Remastered. All versions except the Low Res Android version have been updated.

Because DAR has half the lines that SITAR does, every line has been voiced. Lines that contain a variable are delivered generically. The very first voiced line will show Ariane say your name, but the voice will call you “my date”. Text is more important than voice and voice can be turned off by turning the voice volume to zero in Preferences.

AI voices are good enough, but not as good as human voice actors, and I recognize that. But I can’t afford to hire voice actors, so AI is the way I am going. It adds a new dimension to the game I hope you appreciate.

Other Changes

Besides voice, many lines of dialog have been changed or improved in part to improve the voice lines, but also improves the readability. A greater use of contractions (“I’m” instead of “I am”) will be noticeable.

Bonus is easier to reach! The rule to wait until you get 60 achievements to unlock the bonus. Now you only need two: “All five dinners” (yes I know that requires five dates to achieve) and “Sex Endurance” which proves you went all the way on a date. Once you get both, prove it by running the achievements check, and it will invite you to the bonus. You then need to go to “Character” and create a bonus character. You can switch back in Preferences.

The bonus has been expanded in places with about a dozen new pictures and expanded scenes.

Several bugs have been fixed as well.

v1.05

Very small update. It updates the opening title screen image and fixes a rare missing file bug. Haven’t had any other bug reports.

1.02:

Fixed a bug when going to convenience store and player has had too much to drink and Ariane is in her black dress, you now properly walk to the store.

Fixed an issue with the “Kiss You all Over” achievement where the game was not giving credit to kisses on the lake during the “Romantic Walk on the Beach” path

Fixed a small issue with the “Wet Clothes” achievement.

Fixed an issue when in “Show All” achievements mode not showing all of the achievements when there was more than one to show.

There is a small free patch you can download, if you don’t want to redownload. There is a README.txt with instructions to patch.

1.01:

Fixed a major bug where after swimming and you call a ride, Ariane takes a shower and forgets that she called the ride and wants to drive.

Fixed a minor bug where after checking the mail with dry hair, Ariane returns home with wet hair.

Developer Notes:

Date Ariane Remastered is the complete 1920×1080 graphic overhaul of the popular Date Ariane game, with the added ability to play as a male or as a female character. The avatar actions first seen in Ariane in Paradise have been imported to Date Ariane Remastered. The house, backyard, and many other locations have been remodeled and modernized, along with new casual wear and formal wear.

Many places including the museum and amusement park have been expanded, new locations like a coffee shop has been added. There is also a special bonus version of the game unlocked with completing achievements, and paths you need to follow to get those achievements are built into the game, no more flipping back and forth between a website and the game.
