Ren'Py - Jujutsu Trainer [v0.11] [Milk Dragon Studios]

[0.11]

Just played through what's currently present, and really enjoyed it.

Everything looks good and the systems set up are solid, if potentially grindy. Nobara is hot af. The art style matches the anime really well, which is very exciting.

Other than that, serious props to the writing. It's clearly written by a fan--the personalities all make sense, Gojo and Nobara especially. There's a great "Yuji and Nobara share a brain cell" joke that feels right out of the show.
Really excited about this game and really hoping that it takes off!

[v0.1] -
I'm left deeply suprised at how good and promising this game seems to be. I thought it's gonna be just a thrown on meaningless text over ai generated illustrations, as we usually see with these manga/anime attempts of an ai games, but that's not the case with this one. It is very well put together, by someone who have knowedge over the series.

More or less we have an interpretation of lore accurate parody of a game: How Gojo taking you to the interrogation lantern room as first, the jujutsu school with it's background. The whole feeling of the game with it's narration, scenes, curses. The difference is we are not Yuji or Megumi, but someone completely made-up character with no record in the system, whos waking up from a coma and suffering of a memory loss. We just know yet he seems to have unusual ability of absorbing curse energy by touch, quite handy. I'll put the rest of my thoughts in pros/cons way:

+ Great artwork, the ai is becoming flawless. Also huge props to the accurate body proportions, i'm very glad for the lack of 40cm+ dicks. Feels realistic.
+ Identical representation of the lore accurate characters. We have seen some of Gojo and Nobara yet and slithly less of Shoko and Megumi, but their personalities are on point. The strong willed, easily irritable Nobara. The arrogant and nonchalant Gojo. Very good writing of catching their personalities.
+ POV rpg style combat implemented. It is mainly just part of the story's walkthrough as of now, without a need of engaging in fights additionally. But it might become from good to amazing feature of the game. If more types of curses being added, so it won't feel repetitive. Maybe a journal on the curses and their weaknesses.
+ No choices. I hope we keep following single narrative of the story. Otherwise it will become a VN, just ctrl-skip over and over again until you manage to unlock every scene.

- I don't really have anything in mind to say as cons, since it's just a first release and early to judge. Probably only the text box as of now, there's no option to make it transparent while it's literally hiding 1/3 of the screen, it's really annoying.
