Vortex00 I worked a ARIA a bit today and I will probably a bit tomorrow. i wont work on it too much just yet, but I need a context switch for a bit. ARIA is coded much better and is so much smaller than UMCC. I think I can have like only 3 images of each of the 4 girls and 1 on jeo and be done with images. And I want to use VA audio in this also. And replayability is high because everything is for the most part randomized.
But basically I mentioned earlier that you play as Jeo. He starts off badass and strong. Well my idea is that for whatever the reason he is getting weaker with each battle as he makes his way back through space back to GemCo. Using him in battles makes him very much weaker afterwards, and not using his at all still makes him slightly weaker after every battle also. Either way he gets weaker consistently. The idea is to train the girls up to get strong so they can do the hard battles, or you can simply use the girls to keep Jeo strong. Or you can just train your favorite girl and use the others to keep Jeo strong when you need him for something. There will be multiple strategies you can do. Since this is a hentai science fiction game, there will be some excuse that results in Jeo only getting strong by having sex with the girls. Maybe you guys can think of a reason for this, because I have not thought of one yet heh.
Currently I am working on the mini campaign. Which is basically a quick customizable game. You can set the number of areas until you reach GemCo controlled space and a few other settings. Then you just play and level the characters as you go along. It is fast and fun because each play is different form the last one. All the scenes and minigames aside the nano war thing and the space shooter thing will be expedited in the mini campaign. I want to add some random events for this that happens after each battle. some random roll where something might happen. Like the girl you just used might get some kind of illness and cant fight for a few battles, or some of the mercenaries broke free stole some resources and fled the ship. Not all will be bad thoguh.
also girls needs to eat and sleep. they will get fatigue from battle and you will need to spend resources and turn those resources into food. There will be stations on the ship where you can make stuff like combat gear and food and create ship upgrades. For example a ship upgrade might be something that increases the max number of mercenaries you can have.
Each girl applies to a different station on the ship that uses resources to make something. One for ship upgrades, one for cooking, etc. If they are not not at their designated station then you can’t do that thing, you will need to find them and tell them to go back to their station (which has various effects on their mood).
some i think some of the items on the planning menu are. sleep, eat, back to station, sex, free, space battle, scrolling shooter mini.

The picture of the select screen looks promising.
As for the reason why Jeo gets weaker well I’ll think about it and added in the script section. Well Jeo gets weaker do to the area there at. There isn’t a type of energy that actually recharge a yellow crystal. So for temp having sex with different type of females form electrons to recharge some energy back to the yellow crystal.
Now how the hell is a very powerful character like Jeo gets capture? Simple you said it Jeo hates getting boss around, he didn’t follow orders that Phil give him. So when Jeo attack Phil. Phil kick his ass. Jeo couldn’t even touch Phil. It was one big ass kicking Jeo got.
Phil is the senior executive of science of Gemco. Phil created Aria his best experiments are the 4 girls he train. The Aria girls call don’t call him Phil they call him Doc.
These are good ideas thanks.
I almost have a little crude demo finished. I just need to make Jeo and his ship. I’m not sure on his abilities yet though. But he may not even need any aside from Rally.
Só eu imagino uma tirinha a Bri olhando para os próprios peitos e para essa tabela logo em seguida ficando brava por não ter nenhum tipo de atributo grande? Hahaha…
Bri does damage to all enemies, so her stats are a bit lower at the start. I think since making this update I have already increased her stats by a small amount. But it is easy for her to be overpowered if her starting stats are too high. Especially for someone who doesn’t really like combat.
Translation of above post:
“It’s just me that imagine a comic strip or drawing where Bri is looking at her own breasts and at her own character status on the game, getting angry for not having any high attributes? Hahaha…”
Thats a funny idea 😛
Thanks~
I have to admit since I first came across your work (Which was umichan Maiko on Newgrounds years back and then of course Vandread) I’ve always been more invested in the Maiko Character and storyline, than the series overall… THAT IS
Until I really sat down and read through the Aria stuff on your websites, It’s interesting that the game is still a developing concept and I have to say Aria’s been growing on me, 😀
The best part is that Pinoytoons has been making ARIA art for the game starting from about two or three weeks ago or so. So I have quite a lot of ARIA updating to do later right after UMCC.
Awesome 😀 And even more people will know aria, Nice!
