...As it's about time to present to you our little surprise.
It is an idea I had a few months before releasing Chapter 3.

I (we) basically wanted to repay you for all the support you've been sharing with us by making Ciri Trainer as big and as beautiful as possible.

And as far as I know, there's no better way to do so than investing part of your support into adding more quality content to the game, so that's when I thought about hiring some extra artist.

However, I didn't want a random one;
I wanted a very specific someone who could perfectly match The Witcher fantasy/medieval style;
someone who also was skilled and experienced enough to deliver CGs matching our above average level of complexity.

Well... As the co-author of projects such as the comic books "Pestilence" and "Rabid World" and Steam published games such as "Metropolis - Lux Obscura" and "Perky Little Things", I guess I couldn't ask for a better Guest Artist:

!

...I'm so excited to introduce him to you guys as he's one of the few artists I truly admire and that I've been following for so many years, now.

He will be contributing to Ciri Trainer with 5 CGs that are going to be featured in Chapter 4:
most of them are ready as we speak, and I have to say it's extremely hot stuff we can't wait to show.

I hereby take the opportunity to thank him once again for taking some time off his many ongoing projects to contribute to Ciri Trainer.

We hope you're as excited and hyped for Ciri Trainer - Chapter 4 as we are and that you're happy with the efforts we are making to constantly improve Ciri Trainer: this won't be possible without your help.

THANKS for your support!

How the hell do you make Ciri collect foglet ashes? She has 3 melee, 2 alchemy and 2 magic, and I can't do anything else, I'm stuck on this. There's no option to find foglets to fight as there were for other monsters either, I don't know if there should be.

 

[Qwerfy]

Figured it out, you need to use the Gathering task when you summon Ciri.

 

[Maycroft]

This game is EXTREMELY setisfying. After some playing around in the beginning of the 1st act Ciri is suddenly fingering a dryade, fisting a Harpy and is being enslaved, spanked, toyed with and put on display by some witch-hunter dude! That's a totally different dynamics to any otner Trainer game, where before seeing heroine's boobs you have to awkwardly manipulate her twenty thousend times. Extra points for BDSM-theamed third chapter, I can't even imagine how author is planning to develop the game further now when the main heroine is basically a trained sexslave

so FUCK FEST

It is not that bad. But I wonder how to deal with her in CH4. She seems very broken now..

This was a raw cut, but I believe in the creator. He will turn everything into pleasure again in the next chapter.
He has proven great skills, good artwork and story telling. Keep on doing your thing! =)

We know the general opinion is "we wasted our time by SLOWLY corrupting Ciri and now she suddenly is entirely broken!" and for how wrong, or confusing, or shocking this design choice may have felt like, I'm glad to notice you're exactly where we wanted you -especially in terms of emotional spikes- as that is exactly the kind of reaction we wanted to trigger.
Those who are familiar with the books know we couldn't skip this part, and we tried to deliver our take on arguably the darkest part of the entire lore.

So is Ciri actually broken? Well, just follow Malata example and have faith: Chapter 4 will clarify where you actually are with Ciri's corruption.

To be fair, it could have the opposite effect, harden her and make her MUCH harder for us to corrupt.

I am actually relieved to read that my reaction to Ch3 (mainly anger and disbelief) was provoked by you, intentionally. Anger not so much because it is not a vanilla game (we are in a porn trainer game after all.. ) but because the nice build up of Ch1-2 was rendered meaningless.

And I know my extreme feelings were only possible because I really loved the game in Ch1-2. Now I am eager to see what you have planned for Ch4.. ah, the wait..

Yo, m8, what game that I'm watching are you NOT following? /wave

 

[Dsandr]

And where are the strict dancing hall owners? Is it all OK around?

 

[Separin]

This is clearly not the classic trainer formula guys. And Ciri is respectfully not an ordinary Princess Jasmine-type character who would fit in that formula. The authors clearly meant to reflect the horrors Ciri had to go through in the books, albeit in a more sexualized way, because that's just what the character is. In the books, she is cocky, arrogant and her recklessness leads her to some very unaffortunate moments. Bonhart is in a way a tipping point for her - she finally realises her faults and learns to appreciate the better days of her life. I assume this is the direction here - we won't need to simply "break" her, because she is broken as a character. We will probably embrace a more affectionate and loving strategy, with the necessary deception and sex. I also assume this from the way the MC is written - he doesn't really want Ciri to become a sex slave, he's just a doppler who wants to survive and - if the situation is right - have a bit of fun on the side.

I don't know if I'm making sense or not, I just wanted to say that I respect the authors for their somewhat bold choice for chapter 3 and that I can see its value. Chapter 1 and 2 are imho not in any way rendered meaningless. It's just a different trainer.

Remember to rate games even if you don't feel like they're the best game ever made, else every game on the forum ends up 5 stars.

Imagine starting a whole hating campaign against a patreon game because it doesn't match your personal fetishes.

We were considered adding Geralt as an alternative playable character, but I'm starting to doubt if it's worth it. After all, the hardcore anti-Vesemir crowd seems to be made mostly from trolls and flamers, so paying attention to their requests is pointless: they will always find another reason to hate.

Sadly, that's very true.
And we were considering it since a patron suggested a very interesting way to add him, while leaving a choice on "who to play as" to players.
But then again, I'm afraid my buddy DarkTl up here is right, and there's nothing we can do to actually change the biased opinion of those who hate this project of ours by principle.

And to be honest, a message "pinging" all of those who haven't liked the game - a "call to arms" to poorly rate a game - is the kind of "lowest" I've -erroneously- thought no one could ever sink to.

The interesting thing is that tha hate for choosing Vesemir as the MC was almost completely replaced for the hatred for Chapter 3, almost as if there is only one "memory slot" for hatred.

Actually, this guy inspired me to write a 5-star review just for the sake of it. Working on it!

Reverse psychology at its finest! I actually haven't played chapter 3 yet. Waiting until its publicly released so I don't pirate it. Unless I missed the news that its been publicly released already? I try not to pirate games here where the devs are active participants.

 

[Howarde]

Freaking incredible game, is there anymore trainers game like this master piece ?
I did not like the fact that it was vesemir, but when you play the game at least 10 minutes it does make sense !

I think it's finally time for me to post here, because i have yet to express my gratitude for this project, especially now more than ever with the negative feedback lately.

I've been following the project since the very beginning, after becoming aware of it through my friend xpsfm.
Honestly, i'm so happy this project has already come such a long way and at the start i was doubtful about the player character choice as well, but i have really grown to like it. Just give it a chance guys and actually play the game, instead of rushing for the CG's. These hateful fucks don't even really care and as far as i'm concerned are mostly trolls from various places like /weg/.

Now my opinion: I really liked Chapter 3, not only because this darker and non-consensual content is a fetish of mine, but also cause it's a very close, alternative interpretation of the things Ciri had to go through with Bonhart. To be honest, i'd be down for a "bad end" and a return of his character, like imagining something that could've happend in The Lady of the Lake. Maybe as a bonus, cause the (vocal) majority apparently disapproves.

Anyway, i hope you guys are gonna extend the project (Where is Yen?! ._.) as it's literally my personal Witcher fanfiction coming true. One can only do so much in 3D software, so seeing it done as 2D VN/trainer game is awesome and offers so many possibilities.

Also gonna finally join the Patreon at the start of the new month.
Cheers and looking forward to the next update!

I agree. And even though I was among the first to rate the game down - because quite frankly Ch.3 really disturbed me - I will rate it up again simply to protest against that form of protest. And because you have clarified in another post that you intentionally added that shocker chapter in, which makes me hopeful again for ch.4.

Anyway, please keep it up guys, you do not deserve a negative campaign.
