Pics 239: The Loco-Cola Girl (Patreon)

Starting off the new year with the new Rachel doing new Loco-Cola ads. These appear in backgrounds in the game, so consider the non-blurry and well lit versions Patreon exclusives.

Here's where the top picture is in the game, as Ariane eats an amusement park burrito. Yes, this originally was a hot dog, but I don't have a good 3D model of a hot dog. So I substituted a burrito.

Here's poster number 2. This is supposed to be the "diet" version, so Rachel is wearing what might be workout clothes.

This version is an ad at a bus stop as Ariane anticipates trying to cross the freeway bridge missing some clothes.

While making those two posters, I made some goofy ones too. Remember those pinup pictures of models in an oversized martini glass? Well here's Rachel in an oversized glass of cola.

Sexy, but a little gross, which is why it was rejected. More down below.

Date Ariane 2 Beta project

Spending the year on the graphics, I'm working on improving dialog, sound effects, and music. I've been changing and adding music.

A new opening theme is a jazz piece that is romantic and playful at the same time. I have new background music for each dinner scene now, too.

I'm working on a system where Ariane randomly praises you when you do something good. Sort of a positive feedback system. I'm going through the game looking for moments to trigger a compliment from Ariane. And to prevent myself from doing too many, each trigger has a 1 in 3 chance of working, and what she says changes each play through.

Next step is to start working on new paths to reach content, and make sure everything is reachable like before.

I also want to build a new demo this month.
