My updated Date Ariane 2.0 preview continues with something in the bedroom. #visualnovel #3Dart

Another picture of Ariane drinking, this time at a bar.

Ariane has a friend named Rebecca that gets invited over for drinks. I redesigned her too. #3Dart #visualnovel

From Date Ariane 2. Ariane enjoying a soak in the hot tub. #3Dart #visualnovel This is what Date Ariane Remastered will become on it's 2.0 update early 2026.

From Date Ariane 2. Eating at the Drive-N-Dine. Making a new version was a bit of building new sets for Daz Studio and converting old sets for Daz. The Daz rendered images look a lot better.

"Whispers From The Star" is from what I can tell the first AI driven Visual Novel. Not written or illustrated by AI, but the main character is literally an AI chatbot. I watched several people play the game, here's my impression. arianeb.com/2025/10/28/t...

Date Ariane Remastered 2.0 update of the week (Yes that name is too long and redundant) #3dart #visualnovel

This weeks update picture: Standing in a park.

After announcing Date Ariane in DAZ Studio, thought I'd share a new pic each week until it releases.

I am updating my most popular game Date Ariane Remastered with new Daz Studio graphics. Here is the official announcement. #visualnovel www.patreon.com/posts/early-...

Want the real truth about "Tilly Norwood"? She's just a variant of “default generic AI face” girl that come up whenever you prompt "Pretty woman" into Stable Diffusion. Here's some AI generated realistic images, and three in other styles with exactly the same face.

Autists, like myself, are sensitive to many things. Most of us are empathetic and anti-authoritarian and won't obey rules unless they're explained to us. Yes, we have weird stims, and weird interests, but neurotypicals are not superior in any way.

Back to game pictures, been really busy making new pics.

Quote of the day: "There's a kind of beauty in AI making the ads that uBlock Origin blocks."

An experiment with assets I haven't used yet.

After my Microsoft went viral, I decided to write a full blog post on the topic. arianeb.com/2025/09/01/t...

Picture of the Week. Ariane in a Restaurant.

The failure of the gaming industry, the failure of AI, and the failure of politics all have the exact same cause. The "people in charge" only listen to "investors" instead of their (potential) customers. This is why capitalism is dying to technofeudalism.🧵

I'm not sure why but my Microsoft 365 account did not renew. Oh well... Taking the opportunity to "de-Microsoft" myself. OneNote > Joplin OneDrive > pCloud MS Office > OpenOffice Outlook > Proton Mail Copilot > Nothing! (Wondering if it's time for Linux) 🤔

My new pictures of the week come from a project I have not officially announced, but my Patreon knows all about it. You can also see old pics of the week in my Gallery. #3dart #visualnovel arianeb.com/2025-picture...

For the record. AI boom began 2022, thanks to GPT-3 AI bust began 2025, thanks to GPT-5 True or not, this will become the historical myth.

Whats so funny? From my latest #visualnovel project on www.patreon.com/dateariane

Efforts in the UK and EU to "save the children" are not that at all. They are efforts to control Silicon Valley's influence outside the US, because they are way too powerful. I agree, but censoring content and killing encryption are the wrong way to get the Big 7 in line.

My month off is over, so here’s my picture of the week. You can see my weekly pictures. More pics, up to date pics, and news of what I am working on can be found on my Patreon. www.patreon.com/c/dateariane #3dart #visualnovel

Can AI overcome age-gates? If not, maybe this age-gating stuff will cordon off "bots" from the human internet and make the "dead" internet alive again. If so, then it's only a matter of weeks until age-gating is too easy to overcome, even by kids, and rendered completely useless.

Got both cataracts removed. Now I have 20/20 eyesight in both eyes for viewing further than 3' (1m), which is awesome! But my nearsightedness is gone, and I need reading glasses for reading or computer work. Still adjusting to when I need my glasses.

Too much for a single post. The recent censorship over adult games is evil and affects many lives. So here's my blog post. arianeb.com/2025/07/24/c...

In the mood to make some art. I'm calling this "Gods and Goddesses". #3Dart More info in the Alt.

Haven't posted in a while because I'm getting cataract surgery this month. Got the right eye done last week, and the left and right eyes don't match with focus or color vision. Left eye gets fixed next week, but making new pictures is difficult until that happens.

Last weekend of Pride month, and the three women from last week prove that there is nothing underneath the rainbow pride.

My "Nothing but Pride Flags" continues with updated models from "Hopepunk City" (now on Steam) wearing Aromantic, Bisexual, and Asexual pride flags respectively. Being "Aro" myself, I spent some time in the game correcting myths about all 3 of these misunderstood orientations.

Nothing but Pride Flags #3. From my long term project “Dating in a World on Fire” involves these two characters. On the left is a trans non binary character named Alex. On the right is the main character named Relay, partially covered by the pansexual flag. #3dart #visualnovel #pride

I’m celebrating Pride Month with a return of “Nothing But Pride Flags” where I show Daz Studio versions of my characters draping pride flags. These are new versions of Rebecca with the Lesbian Pride flag, and Evan with the Gay Pride flag.

I don't care what they say, I'm celebrating Pride Month with a return of "Nothing But Pride Flags" where I show Daz Studio versions of my characters draping pride flags. This is a new version of Maya draped in the Progress Pride Flag.

My Picture of the week is a couple walking down a London street. This month I'm sketching future projects and this is an idea I'm working on.

Behind on my pictures, I sit in front of my computer, and turn on my iPad to watch something while I work. Ran out of YT vids, so I put on P+ and my list has "Better Man" so I press play. It's a fucking work of art. Greatest biopic of someone I barely know. The pics I made while watching are 👍

Just to prove I'm a real #visualnovel maker I have an opening scene demo for a game I hope to release next year. It's a dating sim set in a possible dystopian future. arianeb.itch.io/dating-in-a-...

A future Visual novel starring gen 9 Rachel? For the month of May, I’m thinking about Future Visual Novels to make. Thinking of a Rachel game, maybe.

Updated Ariane in Paradise with the new Rachel model on Steam, Itch, and my website. #visualnovel

My Picture of the Week post. Been playing with new Gen9 models at #daz3d and I plan to use these two in a #visualnovel soon.

Doing a series of underwater renders and realizing I left the subjects mouth open the whole time.

A new pic from a minor graphical update for "Ariane in Paradise". I'll probably be updating the game next month which is the 1 year anniversary of it's release on Steam. #visualnovel #3dart

When I made new versions of Ariane and Rachel for "Ariane in Paradise", Ariane looked young, and Rachel looked older. So I recently reworked Rachel to look younger and cuter like Ariane. #visualnovel #3dart

I love when I hear about a game I want to play, only to find I bought it before on sale and it's already in my library.

For the month of April, I'm experimenting again. In Daz Studio there are 2 groups of characters Genesis 8.1 and Genesis 9. Most of my work has been in 8.1, and I'm experimenting with Genesis 9 models. These are Mira and CJ. #3dart

@heardislandgov.bsky.social Love clever parody accounts!

Been releasing screens from my #visualnovel Hopepunk City during March, and we're at the end of the month, so a pic of the main cast is in order. House meeting and hot tea break due to a coffee shortage. arianeb.com/hopepunk-city/

My Pic of the Week, doing scenes from "Hopepunk City" that is now on sale on Steam. While previous shots were philosophical moments, here's a naked fun one. Ariane getting wine from the kitchen while she does laundry. #visualnovel #3dart
