Latest on the Discord is that developer has had a rough time (work/health issues) but lately things have turned around and hopes to have a bit of time to continue working on it.
And this is an update on a whole year's worth of work? It's certainly a significant update, but 0 new perosnages? I'm disappointed.they just released the next version on discord. it mostly focuses on terri.
These new letter are, as mentioned many times, solely improvement updates on existing personages. Once all are improved, they will look further for added content.And this is an update on a whole year's worth of work? It's certainly a significant update, but 0 new perosnages? I'm disappointed.
This is a spare time project for them. That being said, why don't you try yourself on adding new characters? The boilerplate for it is available and it is pretty straight forward.And this is an update on a whole year's worth of work? It's certainly a significant update, but 0 new perosnages?

They refuse to take any money for it, this is a pure passion project so the speed of development isn't something that bothers me. They plan to add one more wave of clients eventually.And this is an update on a whole year's worth of work? It's certainly a significant update, but 0 new perosnages? I'm disappointed.
If it takes the author a year to expand the content for 1 existing character, I'm afraid only my grandchildren will see new characters in this game.These new letter are, as mentioned many times, solely improvement updates on existing personages.

The game has only had 2 characters added by modders with the last one being released in 2021. One of the main drivers for getting this into renpy was to enable modding, but it hasn't really worked for them. I don't think its very easy at all.This is a spare time project for them.

It isn't. I wrote and planned Kagney's mod with the help of Semiecardia and him coding it in. It took almost 8 months to gather media, write, test, plan out her stats, and launch.The game has only had 2 characters added by modders with the last one being released in 2021.

Well, considering the modding documentation is basically non-existent, it makes sense there are not more modders. Not to mention a whole new character is a lot of work. Haseo spent a lot of time writing for Kagney and gathering images etc. and I am still coding her.The game has only had 2 characters added by modders with the last one being released in 2021.

maybe be completely bs, but this is what i think.Glad to see they're still working on this project.
Admittedly I'm a bit disappointed to hear how difficult the modding process is, but I can't really say I'm that surprised. Wife Trainer has always been a very complex game, even back when it was still on the RAGS engine. Moving to Ren'py (or any other game engine for that matter) isn't going to change that amount of complexity.
The game being complex with a ton of moving parts isn't inherently a bad thing, but as others pointed out it's going to be a much harder sell to get any casual modders interested.
If I had to guess, the devs' decision not to take money for this project is also likely for legal reasons. I've always wondered how "Real Porn" developers are able to legally accept money for these types of games when they're using the images of real adult film stars. You see it on a lot of HTML games posted on this site, they'll have a SubscribeStar, Patreon, Kofi account meanwhile they're using someone else's work in their game without authorization. I'm no lawyer but that feels like trying to navigate a minefield to me...
Anyways, good luck to the devs and modders. I'm looking forward to revisiting this game since it's been a few updates since I've played. I'll probably add the Kagney mod too, thanks for putting that together Haseo!
I know of Kagney, but who is the second modded character?The game has only had 2 characters added by modders with the last one being released in 2021. One of the main drivers for getting this into renpy was to enable modding, but it hasn't really worked for them. I don't think its very easy at all.
Yeah, as somebody who played the very first release on RAGS and every release afterward, I still stumble upon things I have not explored.As for WifeTrainer, this is the most unique game i have come across here, with right amount of grind and content, and kinda infinte replayability.
