Ren'Py Adventurer Trainer [v0.1.9a] [PastryIRL]

kazuma vs player insert rant

I prefer playing as the man himself simply because I like him as a character, so I want him to succeed. Guy's one of the very few competent people in his universe, he deserves to get a girl (preferably other competent candidates like Chris or YunYun, no offense to megumeme shippers).

The konosuba-verse isn't all that immersion-friendly to begin with, in my opinion, because it's designed first and foremost to be a land to facilitate comedy. Since comedy runs on the subversion of expectations, whatever rules the world seems to follow will conveniently bend when it's funny. Therefore, whether I'm piloting kazuma or wearing his skin doesn't affect my immersion at all.

I can understand liking the character and wanting him to succeed. Especially since he is surprisingly competent. I guess I just don't get it when it comes to a porn perspective, if that makes any sense?

As far as it being focused on comedy and subverting expectations, I don't think that necessarily ruins immersion as far as creating a "Link" for the player. But at least I have some insight on why someone would prefer the main character over a bit more of a character representative of the player.

I guess it's one of those things where it really is just personal taste; I can easily immerse myself into the Konosuba-verse (or anything silly, such as Four Elements Trainer), but I can sort of get why someone can feel the opposite on all that.

Yo, just tried out the game, and just now that I saw the changelog realized that Kazuma wasn't going to be the MC before. THe transition is seemless, and Kazuma's wit is very in-character.
Really happy with the events and content available. I do hope that there are some repeatable events after getting far enough with some of the girls, instead of just having the replay gallery.
For example, bathing or calling one of the girls from your room.

 

[PastryIRL]

As always, I look forward to more! I still got plenty to play through as is on this new update.

Glad you liked what the game has to offer!

pet peeve rant

I'll be honest, I don't really get it myself. Porn is porn. But to each their own ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The main reason for the rewrite was mostly the fact that the storytelling with an actual character as a POV is simply better than the blankslate MC, imo. And it cuts down on the (quite annoying) instances of the MC not knowing something Kazuma would have known otherwise.

Man this is such a good update, I look forward to Roxy's teaching lessons.

Glad you liked it, fellow Rin-enjoyer
I am planning recurring (repeatable) events in the future.

That makes perfect sense. I can fully see why it's difficult to write for a character like that, especially when you're constantly wrestling with "the player knows this, I know this, the character should just know it too"

I can think of a couple ways to approach the particular problem -- but sometimes you just want to write a certain thing too. Either way I'm glad that you've been reinvigorated to work on the project!

I did see someone suggest that you could allow the player to name themselves, but keep the behavior and writing of Kazuma. That seems like a nice middle-ground, though I'm not sure how much work that would involve, especially with the nicknames and such.

Then again, you kind of do something like this by having the girls ask what they should call you doing more lewd activities. I appreciate that decision even more with the rewrite -- don't know if it will stay/show up for every girl, but eh.

 

[heyarnold]

Really enjoyed the new update, The new renders and animations look great. I think the swap over from faceless MC to Kazuma is better overall for the game. The dialogue sounds more natural and it seems like you're enjoying yourself writing the bickering and character interactions.

The updated combat system feels a lot better, though after unlocking Yunyun, Megumin seems a bit useless at the moment. Also I greatly appreciate that characters who aren't sent on missions also accumulate experience, would be a pain to try to use Megumin later and having her be underleveled.

It had been a while I last played before the newest update, so I don't recall if the trait system was always in the game. I have a question about the implementation though.
Will having a higher value in a given trait unlock special dialogue/choices?
Or is it simply a way for the player to keep track of their past choices?

I'm hoping that more Wiz , Luna, and Yunyun content will be released in the near future. relative to release schedule
Also hoping for some action with Ghislaine, though I reckon that would be way further down the pipeline.

Dear Adventurers!

I can hardly believe it, but it's been a year since the initial release (v0.1.0) of Adventurer Trainer! Time sure flies when you're having fun. The game sure looks very different now, and contains significantly more content! Some of you old-timers might remember that v0.1.0 was basically bare bones and had, like, 1 H-scene. lol

I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for your support and dedication over the past year. Your enthusiasm for the game has been truly inspiring, and I'm so grateful for the community we've built together.

To be frank, I expected to have released a lot more updates and content by this point, but this year has been quite rocky for me (with the war and all). However, that gave me the opportunity to hone my skills even further (both writing and artistic), which might be evident in v0.1.5 I am very optimistic about the game's future and for what's to come next.

You guys have stuck with me through thick and thin, and I can't thank you enough. Here's to another year of adventure! Thank you for being a part of this journey with me.

Sincerely,
PastryIRL

The reputation system already affects some responses you get during gameplay. In the future, it will also unlock additional choices.

Well my Patrons just so happened to have overwhelmingly voted for Yunyun content in v0.1.7, so-o-o-o...

update when

Nah neutral evil is a typical selfish but evil when it needs dude.

Join the chaotic evil gang, where one day it kills your mother and the next gives you a cat asking for forgiveness… and then he kills your dad with a skateboard

I like to go bananas most of the times except when the game is terribly serious or depressing like Runescape torment.

I will probably also go chaotic neutral as main file, but as other file I’ll be evil and chaotic af

Bruh, being evil just for the sake of being evil is what small-fry thugs do.

I can’t be Doctor doom all the time, sometimes like in skyrim you load a save and start butchering everyone for the cathartic feeling and then you reload cuz you just killed your favorite npc.

Return in topic uuuuuuh Chomosuke best girl

As for your (rhetorical) question about H-scenes involving Chomosuke. You know exactly why. Cat Girl Transformation when

It's been that long already? I suggest you stay indoors as much as you can and avoid the ire of the Winder Shogun. (You are not Darkness afterall).

You raise a good point but then again we all know how haughty Aqua is being a "Goddess"... Even if she is a goddess of debt and uselessness.

Hey! The error you get is due to Ren'Py not having my custom changes for animation offsets.
Which distribution did you download? Is it a mod maybe?
