Ren'Py Adventurer Trainer [v0.2.1a] [PastryIRL]

[QuestionTime]

Non-LIs can be slutty. LIs must be exclusive to the MC. The first is negotiable (they can also not be slutty), the second isn't.

Yeah but that's the point I'm making. It's an odd thing to say in a game like this when most people wouldn't be okay with their love interest(s) sleeping around. I could also go into detail about how linear games like this usually opt for Harems or being able to pursue multiple girls at once because replaying the game one time for each love interest isn't really feasible and most players would just pick one character and never see any of the other scenes.

Ï mean at the end of the day this is porn parody game.

It's still a weird line considering the type of porn game it is though and the fanbase it has.

Yeah I know about that but he could easily just not use his name during sex scenes especially when the descriptions are clearly saying "You" over and over again implying it's a self insert. Outside of sex scenes it matters less. I also think he's overstating the difficulty because splitting the first initial of your name for stutters or only using the first few characters when the character is being interrupted or such isn't that difficult. It would only get harder to implement with time.

you know if pastry decides to start adding kazuma's name to sex scenes, i'mma laugh at you hard.

I was enjoying that Chris sex scene and the descriptions of what's happening keep saying "you" which makes it easier to self insert but then she just starts using Kazuma's name destroying the illusion.

Illusion of what?
It only broke the illusion you were creating that you were present in the game which is false, the entire illusion you complain about is made up and not offered in game.
Stop self inserting in places you can’t.

You're not paying attention. Why would it say "you" constantly in the descriptions of the sex if it wasn't supposed to be a self insert? Why would the protagonist's face never be in frame? etc etc. It's clearly meant to help you self insert during sex scenes yet he puts the protagonists name in there instead of a title or not at all which is an odd choice.

He already did that's why I'm complaining. He describes the sex as "you" doing this and that but then puts Kazuma's name in it randomly for some reason. Funny that someone who doesn't even play the game gets upset over self inserts lol.

Well, the game uses"you" when referring to the MC most if not all the time:



So the game is really designed in the way of interpreting that you are the MC. Self inserting is the real intention of the writer.

v0.1.5
This update is basically Operation Health for Adventurer Trainer. That is, an update focused solely on improving the game. Visuals, gameplay, story, you name it! There are quite a few new things, so check out the GIANT changelog below

Story:
- MASSIVE REWRITE! Our king Kazuma is back to his rightful place as the MC, no more body-switching. I have to admit, while I thought it was funny and in line with many other Trainer-type games, it just didn't feel right and I've grown to hate the premise, as have many of you. These changes are reflected everywhere in the game as well. ALL EVENTS have been updated, many significantly, some have been removed, some added, but I can finally safely say that I'm content with the state of the game's writing now. Proud, even.

So, the MC used to be "self insert" nameless NPC, from what I gathered, like you wanted, but people hated it, so now it's just Kazuma...

Personally, am glad that I don't need to "self insert". That would be so limiting. PoV porn usually looks like %^&* to me, and I'd have to worry about "my body" not looking like my body. Penis too large, penis too small, penis too black, etc... I just want to watch chick get dicked and look hot while doing so.

You were actually someone else in Kazuma's body, so everyone kept calling you Kazuma.

Anyway, I still play immersively and I really don't care what the MC's name is: I never use my name and if I'm forced to put one, then it goes something like this: kdfrgt, sometimes it includes vowels, other times, like this one, it doesn't.

 

[Succubus Hunter]

I always find playing as an established character I already know to be immersion breaking as well. Aside from playing as a self insert MC, playing as a brand new character is ideal for immersion. I'm not saying that means the game is bad as is just that that would be a good suggestion for an improvement.

You were body swapped with Kazuma which is why people didn't like it because it felt like you were cucking his girls or lying about your identity. It also still had the issue of them calling you Kazuma which kind of made the body swap pointless. The dev seems to be making his own story so I'm not sure why he couldn't have just simplified the matter and had you name the protagonist with Kazuma being the default changeable name but I guess he still thought the issue of stuttering and nicknames would be too hard to work around.

Regardless we've strayed from the point a little in that outside of sex the name matter less it's just within sex scenes having them say "you kissed" etc followed by the girl moaning someone else's name is just odd. On the matter of self inserting most games make it easier to do by putting the character out of frame or removing their eyes or putting their head out of frame and not using the MC's name etc it's just a little confusing to me that the last part was left out especially when he adds options to change what they call you during sex scenes.

I don't understand that pet name stuff myself. I usually just put something weird in those.

Agreed with what you just said.

Coming back since the newest updates, cleared all the events so far, got all the achievements-
Just one thing bothers me which is the last money achievement, I'm 200 days in and still haven't made it to a solid 100,000, curious what the best way of making money is, whether it's working at the guild or actually adventuring-

Aside from that, also curious if there's any way to get more equipment/accessories, or if there's just a finite amount of gear you can get from shops and alley drops since so far there's not much you can do to "build" each character aside from constantly shifting skill points around.

 

[War1926]

What's the latest update? The one in the first page? It says 0.2.a I remember playing this game but back then We replaced Kazuma and now we are playing as Kazuma, correct? I remember not having much Hentai content but Liked the sprite combat.

I've searched for it, but didn't yet see it answered in this thread: In the girls' screens, what does the heart and the broken heart next to their names mean?

basically it's romance or no romance. during certain scenes if you choose the option with the broken heart you get locked out of their route. it's pretty much a feature for kazuma to reject certain girls for player preference reasons.

Alright, thank you. I think when I chose one of those I thought it might be a romance vs FWB route (or just taking advantage of the character). Guess I'll have to restart.
