Lately I've been using 8.1 models, I previously used 4.2. The player characters are actually 9. While 9 can be extremely detailed, the HD 9s are memory hogs so rendering is slower. 8.1 is the most popular for visual novels at the moment.

At some point they are finally going to have to eliminate that 9/10 at the end so they can add a 1 to the front of the price.
I'm in this video and, well... Cool!

Wasn't sure I could make my game into an Android app, but I had so many requests I at least had to try. Somehow it worked. #visualnovel www.patreon.com/posts/date-a...
Same thing happened in the UK because of "brexit" just before it became official. Lots of London companies moved to Dublin.

Thanks. Very rare bug, and is an easy fix. Next time I do an update it will be fixed.
I'm planning on releasing the Date Ariane 2.0 update in early February. Demo is available on my itch game page arianeb.itch.io/date-ariane-...
The wide release of the update will become available soon. I’ve finished all the picture updates and working on the code, new trailers, and a new demo. The game has changed quite a bit since the 1.5 update, and I’m looking forward to showing it to you. #visualnovel
Been thinking about what has become my annual AI blog post. I think it turned out OK. Thank Oolon Colluphid for the headline idea.

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.
