This game is really good. It took me a little bit to understand it but once I did it was awesome.

I didn't really understand the point of ever gaining friendship with Snape (I still did it though) It didn't really seems like it had any effect on the game I could be wrong. I definitely wasn't ever letting him join in so I wasn't nice to him in that way.

Susan, I think her name was, the red headed girl was kinda dumb and really wasn't needed. Especially since you can't do anything with her besides advancing Astorias story line.

Speaking of Astoria, she wasn't bad but didn't offer much as well. She was always grumpy for some reason no matter what choice I made. She was obsessed was calling the red haired girl a cow and wanting Tonks to act like a pig, not really my cup of tea. Once again you couldn't really do much with her.

Tonks was fun she starts as this bad guy who is gonna ruin our time but really is just some laid back girl who wants to let go and be free. Also she wants to be naughty with everyone and everything. She helps with Astorias story line as well as others in small ways. It helps make her feel like an important character and like it's worth time spending on her. I'm playing the 1.46.1 version and she has no option for personal favors currently which was kind sad to find out. Her ability to shapeshift was really cool and I thought would be used in "fun" ways but it wasn't.

Luna was probably the best girl in my opinion and I wish I could switch her for Hermione just a little. She's immediately down to get freaky with you and you find out she knew you were a genie the whole time. I wish you could do way more with her story as she is a somewhat early character and you'll finish her story pretty quick. She won't ever get mad at you, not for me at least, and doesn't have that many hearts to fill before you finish. You can't have her do any public favors or any tasks which I think would have helped keep her relevant. Like I said I wish Luna could have been the main girl or main girl option since I find her way hotter than Hermione.

I liked Cho as a character a nice fit and toned girl who's also pretty and Asian what's there not to like about her. I will admit I didn't like how easily upset she can get and would take the full two day cooldown the most out of all the girls. I don't think I have fully completed her story but I'm basically done I think.

Hermione, I grew attached to her which probably sounds dumb. She has the most fleshed out story, obviously, you learn so much about her and basically watch her grow. She starts out annoying and I couldn't have cared less about her but then she grew on me as we talked to her and helped her out with various problems. Also turning her into the person she is now at the end of story was quite something. The "ending" when we try and tell her that were leaving and her not listening I was like calm down girl we in public at your special event. Working our way up to the end when we finally do it with her and there's that moment when she says that she loves us and asks about marriage I fully expected an option but I didn't see one. Also the concern of pregnancy was also expecting there to be some consequence but again nothing. So for future updates it would be kind of cool for maybe those to be in the game. Having her then go and give herself to the other students after doing all that I was like nah I don't like this. Having the option to make her fully yours and even bring her back to your original world would be a cool special ending.

There are a couple achievements I haven't gotten yet. The poster boy and mad hatter simply because the card game is not that fun since it's luck base and way too easy to lose or draw. So earning enough token to buy everything isn't happening anytime soon. Knock Knock because I didn't know I needed turn away someone until it was too late so pretty sure I'd have to make a new save which I assume would reset achievements. I think I forgot something I'm not a bad pet owner so I fed him everyday then learned I needed to neglect him for an achievement. Down the hatch that puzzle is hard. The head librarian achievement I think was glitched for me as it took forever for it to finally activate.

On my playthrough I never got to use the quest items box o' fun, magic collar, sealed scroll, or set of butt plugs. I'm assuming I did something wrong either that or they are in the game but not actually usable. I also at no point got to use the potions not sure if I was supposed to gift them but there was never a prompt to use them dialogue.

Something I had happen in my game at the beginning I could give Hermione wine or whiskey to increase happiness, then I couldn't as she would say it wasn't allowed on school grounds, then later she would accept it once again. So I don't know what that was all about.

Overall I really liked this game, I also liked queen trainer which I played first. I really hope this game gets more updates or even a sequel or just a new game because I like the games this person makes. As for joining this persons discord I can't figure out how as every time I try it says whoops unable to accept invite.
About Snape, there are two reasons, from what I understand. The first is to gain his friendship, which, if you pay close attention, has helped in many situations. Snape ends up being a very important ally to have around. Besides that, these interactions increase Slytherin's points, which is necessary at the beginning for Hermione to feel motivated to sell favors.


As for Astoria, Tonks, and Susan, their stories haven’t been well-developed yet, but they will be. The next update will actually focus on Tonks. The Luna you liked more was the most recent update,before that, she had a different story.


Well, personally, my favorite is Cho, but let’s keep watching how things unfold.

nope and doesn't like this or other witch trainers which continue his game.
Interesting, I didn’t know he had that issue with the mod. It’s understandable, but I imagined he wouldn’t really… let’s say, care about it.

An update this game needs is to make it run better. It seems to be the outfits that cause the problems, for me at least. I tried playing it on my phone and going to the outfit seller takes forever to load and then lags horribly while there. Launching the wardrobe for a character takes so long, I could open have the game load a save and then close the game three times in the time it takes to load the wardrobe on android. It's better on PC but still is crazy slow and the seller lady still lags horribly. If possible that would be the update we need before anything else.

Thats supposed to be part of the next update.

It's taking forever but it's coming.

You can apparently try out parts of the update on the discord, but you need to be a bit more tech savoy than i am willing to try to be.

Oh that's cool, I can't access the discord though it won't let me join. I'll wait for the update to be posted here, thank you for informing me.

(Good feedback)
Thanks a lot for this write-up. Really well put together and gives me a lot of insight into what can be done better. It's a shame the items haven't worked in your game, because there are additional CG scenes tied just to them. I'll make sure to test them yet again to ensure it works within the new interfaces, just in case.

Akabur right now realizing he could have spread the game out and made a five figure salary dropping one update a year with 1/4 of the total content for 1/6 of the girls each time. I'd be mad at the free missed income too lol, this'll be a cash cow for another decade easily at the rate things are happening. This and Princess Trainer are literally the games that created the trainer genre in the first place.

I forgot to respond earlier to this; It is being addressed once and for all in the next update. I've implemented disk cache for parts of the Doll systems so that the renders don't cause issues.

Programming monster! Well, so that was what was causing the lag? A question that came to my mind: can DeepSeek help you solve these kind of problems?

Yes, the problem lied with the lack of proper cache implementation, which I knew how to solve circa two years ago, but Ren'Py had certain limitations that made it impossible at the time for me to implement, until one of the recent updates made to the engine.

AI is good at explaining basic programming concepts, generating boilerplate code, and doing repetitive tasks for you. It is not good for anything else at the moment, especially for niche languages like Ren'Py since all Large Language Models, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Deepseek, Qwen, Mistral will all hallucinate the answers and get lost in Ren'Py syntax, which is a mix of in-house solutions and Python, on top of Cython, GLSL, and SDL2.

The lack of codebase understanding is what kills transformer-based models for apps that are more complex than a calculator. This is not surprising; After all, it's all just linear algebra.

The only practical use I've found for AI was to employ a snarky and sassy Discord bot to remind me to get off my lazy ass and do some work. You can also poke 'her' to get dunked on. :ROFLMAO:

I already searched here and in several places but I can't find any version before 1.40 and the links to the old versions don't work
if you had then you'd have found this

Can you really blame him? These "mod" devs are milking his game adding minor changes and updates full of "fixes".
They pretty much took his game, added a bit extra content and milking it releasing minor fixes.
4 years passed and there's no reason to revisit this game at all because no significant new content was ever added. Unless you like to play "dress up" game.
Their success is based on akabur content and they live off of akabur game doing bare minimum. They pretty much leeching off someone's else work.

Akabur should really send them cease and desist. That would end this charade when it would force them to redo 80% art.
