Besides pictures and text, it can include music, sound effects, as well as special visual effects not possible in HTML. This version of Date Ariane runs on Renpy, a well respected open source visual novel engine used by hundreds of games. I don’t want to rely on browser versions anymore. I made the game available offline so you can download and play it on your own computer, but growing concerns about web security is making the offline HTML version harder to play for many people, especially if you are using anything other than Firefox, and that may change soon as well. This makes playing online not very enjoyable. If you played the online version, you got a lot of “error 503” errors due to high traffic on the web server. Why make a stand alone version of Date Ariane? It went viral in 2007, and spawned a lot of imitators.
I was not a fan of virtual dates, so I created a date simulator. At the time I was playing a lot of social 3D virtual world games, where virtual dating was encouraged. Date Ariane, originally called Ariane’s Date Simulator, was a vanity project I made for my personal website in 2004.
