aria has been updated to include some tutorials or rather explanation screens that explain what the player is looking at during the mini game. It in intended to help new players a bit more.
it also has a minor change to parsing data in custom.txt. This is used for custom scenarios.
also forgot to increase the possible numbers displayed on the main ship node now that I think about it.
still working on art for a separate ARIA game this week. I decided to add more of the girls gear. I kind of want to expand on the “being raided” combat system a bit.
for certain assignments like the ones in this game, ARIA team members will need more of their GemoCo gear. More lore can be found the link below.

Different equipment is looking good. Key Aria have a coat something that Sixxe would use.
Thanks, yeah this is same style coat Jeo at the art of ARIA and ???? boss the end of ARIA wears also.
it makes the harder to detect by sentinels and other agent using sensory goggles. it also masks different materials in the inner lining of the coat from being detected.
Hey, I like that you’re so into creating lore and costumes and game mechanics around your characters, but it would be great if there could be more sex than combat. I love the ARIA characters and combat is not exactly what I want to see them doing.
There is loads of sex in ARIA, how are you equating which is more ?
My primary objective will always be to make a entertaining game first and work the sex in later. Not really interested in just making same game with a lot of sex scenes and very little gameplay in comparison.
I doubt there will ever be a day where I just pile on random hentai without the proper build up, or setup to it. understanding the lore and personality of each character is critical. But especially for the sex animations because when the sex scene happens you can truly understand the relationship between the characters and how it affects, and/or lead up to that scene and can actually care about what is happening.
looks at posts like this one from the Ari side story:

not liking Harold because of how he manipulates and uses Ari to feed his sexual desires. That is what is all about. having the emotional connection to the character and having it affect your experience with the animation or scene. setting up the situation for the sex scene makes it better. Being more invested in what is happening could make the animation better or worse for some because you might not want to see something happen to a certain character.
But all of that it is completely lost by just flooding animations into a game without the proper build up of lore and without understanding the personalities prior to each one.
understanding the characters background, personality, current role in combat, current goals, stuff they like, etc. all important for sex scenes.
when people make hentai art for popular anime or game characters, you don’t need the set up because the lore is already known from watching the anime or playing the game they are in. But for my stuff, sine it is all OCs, I have to set it up as I go along.
Hard to disagree with that answer. Don’t get me wrong, I really appreciate your work. But I find that the story and lore is a better setup for the sex than the combat, ya know?
I’m just saying if I saw more sex, I would be more interested in putting in some Patreon support. Keep up what you’re doing though, because it really is great work. 🙂
sorry but I really don’t know. that is why I asked my first question. I understand your concern, but I’m not intrested dumbing down the relevance of the gameplay. if you want something flooded with sex and little gamplay, and you probably need to look elsewhere. And hopefully I have clearly explained why. I like to make games with stories that lead up to hentai through actual gamplay. not random hentai galleries that I just arbitrarily call a game without having much actual substance to legitimately call it game.

It is what it’s all about.
To answer your first question, I’m equating that there is loads of tedious combat for not that many sex scenes, and the same scenes between different girls, so inevitably it gets a little frustrating when I don’t know what I’m working towards. Yes, I like the lore and the story aspect, and the gameplay can be fun, I’m just requesting that you throw in a bit of variety in the sex scenes, that’s all. I am fine with the gameplay, I just want to see bit more sex. That’s it.
I’m sorry if you are satisfied with the current state of the game, but again, you probably just need to find another developer that is more into adding the amounts of sex scenes in the ways you describe. I will never add more than I am comfortable adding. also we view relevance of shared sex scenes differently so we will never see eye to eye on this.
I think vortex want as many sex scenes much as possible, but pinoy have his own game to work, not only ARIA.
I think when vortex finish with UMCH he will talk with pinoy or something like that to ARIA get more scenes every month or less time. but only the time will say.
when i’m texting vortex already answered hahaha.
sorry for the 3 reply but what I said is complety the opposite HAHAHAHAHAHA… omg HAHAHAHAHA
@Alukard I think I’m starting to believe you are that avatar with that evil laugh you did. LOL
@alukard
yeah it has nothing to do the pinoy really, I’m the one that told him I have all the sex scenes I need for ARIA. He made sure I had everything I needed before he started working on his own game. I was done adding hentai and ready to move to UMCH or something else way back at 2.0. everything in relation to hentai I am currently adding now is more of less fan requested. all of the game mechanic updates were following suggestions from people at nutaku. Plus I have sex scenes coming for Riley and Lynn even thoguh I really don’t want to, so I think I am bending enough with the sex as it is. and as mentioned, all of it is more than I would have in the first place. so when someone says it is not enough. I’m just not really interested in the conversation. and if that costs some patrons or whatever that is fine with me. I have to retain what I enjoy about making games in the first place. The emphasis being on “games”. Also my opinion of the relevance of shared sex animations is probably very different from most people. This topic has come up in every game I have made and it elaborated more here:
http://spiralvortexplay.com/svp/forum/thoughts-and-analysis-discussion/sharing-hentai-animations-between-characters-vs-unique-animations/
having said that, all ARIA sex scenes suggestions can be added here:
http://spiralvortexplay.com/svp/2015/06/12/what-aria-animations-are-you-most-interested-in-seeing-added/
and I can see what I can do.
To get through the combat easier, use some passwords or edit the save code (to give you extra resources, for instance). Hope Vortex doesn’t mind me suggesting this!
And, as Vortex says, there are ways to skip lots of the combat, or use really powerful agents.
@justjoe2k
hahahahahahaha, i’m crying dude HAAHAHAHAHAH (sorry evil laugh again hehe)
@vortex00
you’re totaly right at my view, people don’t see the background story or something like that to ask things, i’m a player of dungeons and dragons and what make the character and the decisions of you make is based on the background story.
What i want to reach is, hentai scene is good? yeh very, but we need to respect the background story,the only escape for you to add more scenes to ARIA without needing the BG story, is doing scenes with agents or phia (because she is a manic haha or not).
I know I’m guilty of the “more sex please” so I think what Tittiesevolved is getting at is that the story kinda takes a back seat to the gameplay.
When you get to a new area you get a bit of story, then you fight some guys, get some resources and move to the next area, repeat. And while there are some sex scenes that are part of the story (Sui-May in particular) most of them are an aside and not as part of the story, like I need to heal Jeo or I lost a battle. Its even possible to miss some scenes entirely (although the rank battles do help with that).
The prologues are probably more in line with what I think Tittes wants to see in that there is a good balance between story, sex and gameplay for the length of the game and the sex unlocks as you advance through the story.
TLDR you can add more sex in a way that makes sense by having more story content.
Goo sex is part of the story
Kim sex is part of the story
Sui-May sex is part of the story
Yui sex is part of the story.
Ari sex is relevant to her relationship between Jeo, also Ari lover scene.
rape scenes are aside
Amp sex is an aside but based on lore
Ai robot sex is an aside
Remi sex is an aside
Luma sex is a aside but based on lore
the Yuri sex scenes are an aside
Phia, TT, and Bri recover Jeo.
even if all these scenes I just mentioned had just ONE sex animation it still way the over the max number of areas. Not to mention that most of them have multiple animations, and most have at least one unique. Yuri alone 4 is totally unique animations.
not to mention that you skip about 4 of the areas in the game leaving only about 6 that are required to play.
also not to mention you can rolfcopter through all the areas in the game with Jeo and Luma.
Basically from what I see, there is way more sex than the both of you are giving credit for. You act like this game is so long, it isn’t.
also there are even more sex scenes coming later that aren’t even necessary to have in the game at all at this point.
Story is what always gets me hooked in games (and other stuff) and I think ARIA has done a really good job, especially compared to hentai games in general. Plus you can’t please everyone. I think Vortex has even had people complain there is too much sex from memory! Plus Vortex has been developing and adding to the game for ages, and is still doing so. There is even a hint that the story will get expanded (for example, Goo and Amp joining forces).
nono i’m not saying youre guilty, you just want moar scenes, 1~2 scenes per month is not enough for you and for a lot of people, the game you want is the game of pinoy is doing for sure.
A game you can walk around and fuck girls or see girls fucking girls (futa)
http://pinoytoon.blogspot.com.br/2014/07/rogue-courier.html here take a look, you will like for sure, but the game don’t have a date do release.
For now lets wait Vortex finish UMCH and the new ARIA, after that we can back and talk more about this.
The argument is about the hentai currently existing in the game. The thing about ARIA and most of my more recent games is that, if you want a lot of gameplay it is there. However at the same time if you want to skip a lot of gameplay and see a lot of hentai faster, they are ways to do that also. You see hentai in ARIA as fast as you want to.
Jeo practically plays himself. I was talking to a guy at nutaku and he won with the battle as Jeo without even clicking anything during the battle and with no support. ARIA can be beaten in less then 30 minutes using the special agents. with a little more time to get through the required ranks.
also 1~2 a month is pretty reasonable imo when you are working on 3 different games at once. Including both both programming and helping with art and animations. I don’t record everything but these are the examples: http://spiralvortexplay.com/svp/creation/
Also as JD mentioned sever people has also criticized the game for having too much hentai in it. hentai is basically available the start of the game saying it is too easy to access and other scenes don’t require much effort. And the argument being presented here is that there is too much effort to access it. So I lose either way. Something someone likes will be exactly what someone else doesn’t like.
haha like I said lets wait you finish all thing to come back talk this xD, I don’t like these types of conversation is stressful and boring, why we don’t talk about something else ?, like hot girls or about helping you?, is more constructive and helpful xD.
not coming back to this
YES. Thank you SomeRandom, that is exactly what I mean 😛
then you can read the same reply.
