The Second Date Ariane Remastered 1.5 Beta Patch
Added 2023-10-19 21:00:02 +0000 UTC
Here is the promised second beta of Date Ariane Remastered 1.5. Barring some new error found by you all, this will be the final version. I've been testing it all week fixing all the bugs I can find. adding or changing almost 200 lines of voice dialog since Beta 1, and adding some new content on the "bonus".
Most of the changes from beta 1 are changing "it is" and "there is" to "it's" and "there's" and changing dialog in places where dialog was extra repetitive like in the make-out scenes where Ariane keeps saying "What should we do now?". Repetitive lines are not noticeable without voice because the player is focused on the next choice, but it is very noticeable with voice.
Bonus Change
I'm not sure I mentioned this, but one of the 1.5 changes besides voice, is making the bonus easier to get to. In 1.2, it required 70 achievements to unlock the bonus, and not many people did. About 5% on Steam. So I reduced the number to a specific 2: "All five dinners" and "Sex Endurance". Then check the Achievement menu and if it sees both, you can access bonus by creating a "Naked Player" character in the Character menu.
Next step on my side is adding voice to the various versions of the game: 64-bit PC, Mac, 32-bit PC, Steam, and Android. This may be the end of updates for 32-bit and Android until I figure out how to get the game into the Google store, as I have to use older versions of Renpy that are no longer being supported. Unless something goes wrong, the voiced version of DAR will go public next Friday. Then I will start working on voicing "Ariane in Paradise".
