I didn't know this thread exist, this is going to be a long reply. I'll omit all pleasantries and answer the technical questions.
I've had the idea long before Akabur's game, unfortunately I was just a young guy tracing from the movie screenshots into adobe flash making shitty princess minigames for myself. Soon I've gave up and got tangled in life problems, few years later I've found renpy and decided to resurrect the old ideas.
Started learning the engine, two weeks later found out about Akabur's game, great name, great art, boring gameplay, bad story telling, but I could fix those last two, unwrapped his game, took the characters and backgrounds and made a proposal for princess trainer 2 (a continue of his game but Belle as the next subject), he politely declined and out of respect for him being the first to release one, I didn't start my own princess trainer project, plus people where willing to pay for what I could do with renpy by that point. I forgot about the whole thing.
Years later, Akabur was coasting on his successful games, sitting on the only name fitting the games I always wanted to play, wasting all that potential. OA offered to back me making any game of mine, and I decided to do the most ambitious one of my idea. My attempt for The princess trainer, the game you all deserved instead of the ones you've got.
Few years have past and people see us as an Akabur copy, well... no? maybe? it's complicated.
You shouldn't rely on too much saving and loading though, as you can see, we're planning to kneecap this method of pain relief and force the player suffer the consequences of their actions.

It's been years since we started this project, we're not going anywhere. don't worry.
It's an old idea, very old, I've just choose the engine wrong the first time and started with flash, we all know what happened to that...
It's a placeholder for smog expression.
Fun have no place in our game muhahahahaaa, but I'll try to balance it, just don't leave the game open when AFK.
Actually... here we go...

Shhhhhhh, No spoilers!
I can assure you, the similarities end in the name.
Not yet.
It's still in a very experimental stage of testing ideas, but you can save and load in the most recent version.

A reboot maybe, remaster I don't think so. there's almost nothing from his game in this one.
She's the first princess in the timeline, logically, we can't start with anybody else, the only princess that exists before her is Mulan and her story doesn't have a genie to zip us around the world visiting all the others.
Some of the art is drawn by volunteer artists long ago, they're being replaced.
I'm confident it can ^^
it's not a copy, you can save and we didn't intend to release it yet. it's still in pre-alpha stage.
Just the name since there's no better name we can find for it.
depends on the demand for it.
will do, thank you.

It's not about Jasmine per se, it's about the situation and what the player would do, she's just the most recognized character in the game and naturally takes the name for easy publicity.
There's not much to play yet, you just read through the intro, make some choices and wonder a world full of nothing after that. the content will be added slowly after we're done putting the fundamental game mechanisms together.
It's hard to come up with something else that sums up the story this good, We're open to suggestions though.
ripoff? is he Russian?
**taking notes**Jasmine? the one who regularly lets a lad in,if U know what I mean...
Wish already granted.
well, it's not the same direction and there's not enough akabur DNA in the idea to justify such a message.

You won't see any harry potter games from me, not my cup of tea. Plus, there's already a great looking game for it. I can't compete there.
his part in the game is extremely small, but if that's your wish...
there's not much to play yet but if you tell me the specific part that you have problem with, I might be able to help.
I think the UI will magically turn into something more palatable as time passes. just bear with it for a while.That's likely to become a very nice game, i like the art/animation, which makes real good games IMO.
There's a single drawback, compared to Akabur (oh real god of the RenPy games~) the UI is disgraceful af, i think that trying to improve this part of the game may turn it into something more attractive.
It's true that development is slow, but time will remedy that. we have a team working on the art but we're paying for everything from pocket right now, and to afford it we need to spend lots of our time working on other things, leaves us less time to spend on this one. it's a tug of war and we're the rope.
it's not implemented yet.
mainly point and clock.
Wait a while, the game isn't ready to play yet.
