Vortex00 SVP:
going to be help pinoytoons with RC here and there over time as he working on other stuff. hopefully it can become something great. I will still be doing the monthly additions to ARIA.
ARIA:
speaking of ARIA, I have some permission to edit/revamp some of pinoytoons stuff for use as ARIA edits.
He said not new ones, so I have to figure out exactly what that means in terms of a date or something. so I will investigate that more later after the next update. But I’m guessing it might mean pre eyeline captivity stuff. This all came about after a guy emailed me with a Phia edit of one of his animations.
UMCH:
I think Maiko is about done with all of her cafe images and animations for now, I need to make a few more cum edits XD. and Jeni will also be done this week probably.
after the cafe stuff is done tsugo and jinru will be redrawn and few other characters needed like Jeni’s mom and a few others.
MMD:
I edited the savori model quite a bit recently but haven’t had time to make decent video. I don’t want to make another randomness style videos, or another BFF type video. (yes best friend forever)

Yeah Pinoytoons game Rogue Courier looks very promising it is a arcade shooting / RPG / Simulation / Hentai. It is one big game by the looks of it. He did give the good news and bad news. I hate to see a promising game get some stuff cut off because of a situation. Hopefully it doesn’t happen and the stuff gets added in anyways.
Aria edit you mean change the models around the skins? Well the editor script is nice with a skin editor it would make interesting events that users get to create.
Yeah UMCH is looking very interesting with ttrop’s art. Can’t wait to see how far you guys take it with this one. It’s going to be old vs new, UMCC vs UMCH I plan to compare to see how far you got with the codes. I know that it is already way better than the old nightmare code of DoE.
I always think your done with perfecting MMD models but every time there is always something to be updated. Than again you been doing this even with some of the old flash. So that is a good thing.
aria edit I make animations of character with poses that currently don’t exist in the game from other animations pinoytoons made. One guy wanted to try it out.
UMCH will be very different from UMCC heh. i am mostly just taking the background and story elements and the overall idea of that is happening.
the savori model i edited the hair and smoothed the model. it should be quite a noticeable difference.
I had assumed that you and pinoytoons were working collaboratively on ARIA, he does have it listed under his profile on newgrounds.com.
Also, at some point I saw a pinoytoons game that had what was clearly ARIA characters. If I remember what it was I’ll post a link.
Indeed we were at the time during development however ARIA is technically finished. it is just being updated monthly and now being polished to look more professional. Yeah pinoytoons posed a few loops with ARIA character during development to stuff some stuff he was working on. Now we keep in contact regularly for updates and other issues that pop up. This sites original design wasn’t a blog like this, it was actually designed specifically for people like pinoytoons. new hentai artists to get started and get advice and critique, help, etc. It why I made the Thoughts and Analysis videos. Also I spent quite a long time trying to find out how to monetize hentai content before patreon and offbeatr and stuff like that rolled in.
Is the goo’s storyline finished? Never managed to get her to recognize her creator, or whoever it is she is looking for.
Goo’s story probably wont be explained directly. but will be discovered by putting together different information revealed about GemCo. When they find the AI robot they will discuss more about Goo.
I didn’t get it, so did pinoytoons leave ARIA? Does it mean no new animations for the game in future, such as alien stuff mentioned here http://spiralvortexplay.com/svp/2015/08/31/aria-updates-7/ ?
Also I remember you saying somewhere in the comments that you post new hentai stuff every month, but there were no such updates for ARIA or anything else in August, so I donated on patreon in July and cancelled the subscription in late August.
nah relax, turn off the alarms.
I will begin with your last statement about no such updates being posted for ARIA. The entirety of that comment is false. Updates were created and posted every month for ARIA since it was complete back in May of this year (2015). please check this link to see what was post at what tier level for the months:

Now about ARIA updates, no one left ARIA, we are just not working on it full time since it is not in development. It is nothing new that suddenly happened, It has been this way since May and you still will see regular updates. We both like to not be working on the same thing forever. I would have needed to work on UMCH later and he wanted to start RC later also, so we laid out goals, and met them, the dialed it down a bit to work on new stuff. After the game was complete back in May, we agreed to just make content for new sex scenes to add updates to ARIA monthly. And I personally have expanded that to include tweaks, expanded gameplay and minigames, bug fixes, and now some polish to the UI, etc.
I am working on UMCH, and he is working on RC and other projects he has going on with his characters. The equivalent to my “other projects” would be MMD videos, unity stuff, and the occasional vortexplays and and random stuff. Currently, a new animation and art is made for ARIA monthly by Pinoytoons based on feedback I get from people here. Yui sex and Kim anal stuff are great examples. I use those animations to make the new scenes. but neither of us spend the entire month doing it like we used to before the game was actually finished. At times I will also make edits of animations since he is ok with it. The more animations ARIA has the better.
Specifically, the ARIA update for August was the Arielle side story. A part of ARIA that I had been talking about a long time before I posted it, which was at the $5+ tier. it is not physically a part of the ARIA game file itself yet since it had no sound, but it is the prologue to ARIA, and it will be physically an add-on to the game later.
And here I thought I was the only one who received multi-paragraph responses. Not gonna lie, I’m a little jealous lol
Keep in mind that it is very important I clarify any confusion about topics like this. Not just for this person but for others reading also. So it is directed to anyone who reads it. Including you.
Thank you for your quick, thorough and polite response!
I have to admit, I misunderstood the current state of ARIA, that it is considered a full game and these updates are now more limited in their scope. Having read most of your blogs on gathering ideas, additional writing, new minigames, etc. I thought it is under active development and had different expectations. That is why I ignored the updates that did not update the game itself, unsubbed and complained about it here 🙂 My apologies. (I am wondering whether I was alone in my confusion, so maybe copy this to the main post or a separate one).
Thanks again, now I understand the focus of your work and will rethink my support. Personally, I would love to see sometime a game in ARIA setting (I know they are of the same universe, I mean space-style with Phia xD) which is as big as UMCC, with voice acting, dialogue trees, etc. However, I am definitely looking forward to UMCH and any other games you would choose to work on.
np. I see commonly that other developers will basically be working the same game forever in perpetual state of development. I don’t really roll like that.
I like to actually like to complete stuff because I am trying to tell a overall story here. I don’t mind doing updates though. Also usually the next related game would be much better than the previous one.
In terms of ARIA, you can take a look at Vandread Love Quest and see the differences. Instead of Vandread 2 I chose to make ARIA.
going to be animating Jeni’s animation today hopefully. and I plan to record part of it.
Glad to hear you’re working on RC. I’m a patron for both you and Pinoy, so I was pretty worried when he said his programmer ditched him.
meh, no need to panic. I’ve always been the backup. However the slowest option since I have other stuff going on. This is probably just the first bump in the road, hopefully there wont be any more thoguh but we’ll see. I already got the kouia character walking around in 8 directions. doing the layers in side the ship will interesting to say the least. But I’ll have to do it later. maybe I can get it done during the holiday weekend.
good news to hear about you working with pinoy :D.
I think the animations he said “not the new ones” is the commission with a long duration, like the piccolo commission, the eyline and others animations.
that would be interesting heh. We’ll see. I have a lot of stuff to do before I can start editing stuff anyway.
hopefully I finish the walking stuff during the weekend.
