Dear Adventurers!

I can hardly believe it, but it's been a year since the initial release (v0.1.0) of Adventurer Trainer! Time sure flies when you're having fun. The game sure looks very different now, and contains significantly more content! Some of you old-timers might remember that v0.1.0 was basically bare bones and had, like, 1 H-scene. lol

I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for your support and dedication over the past year. Your enthusiasm for the game has been truly inspiring, and I'm so grateful for the community we've built together.

To be frank, I expected to have released a lot more updates and content by this point, but this year has been quite rocky for me (with the war and all). However, that gave me the opportunity to hone my skills even further (both writing and artistic), which might be evident in v0.1.5 ;) I am very optimistic about the game's future and for what's to come next.

You guys have stuck with me through thick and thin, and I can't thank you enough. Here's to another year of adventure! Thank you for being a part of this journey with me.

Sincerely, 
PastryIRL

Hey, Adventurers!

Now that v0.1.5 is released (and going public next week!), I'm working on the next update, which I hope to deliver next month before Christmas. Below is a list of goals I've outlined for v0.1.6:

Technical:

Story:

As always, you can keep an eye out on the progress made in our Discord, channel #roadmap (available for subscribers), as well as #previews (also available for subscribers)!

Gather around, adventurers, for v0.1.5 is finally here and available for Crusader+ level Supporters!

The download links are available in this post -> https://subscribestar.adult/posts/587732

This is, by far, the largest update I've ever made. The changelog is over 110 lines long, my github is freaking out every time I try to compare changes... A lot of work and dedication went into v0.1.5, and I truly hope y'all will love it. 

I plan to maintain this new level of quality going forward with the next updates, only now that I don't have to rewrite 60k-word-long story, they'll be releasing a lot more often and I can go back to roughly 1 update per month.

You can peep the full changelog here as it won't fit on this page: https://pastebin.com/9bRgzc1Q

And check out the new screenshots! I've worked hard on improving the game's visuals, and while there are still a couple events that I'd like to redraw backgrounds for... I'm satisfied with this for now.

Happy NNN everyone ;)

Great news, adventurers!

First of all, the Opening Movie is now published on YouTube! Make sure to give it a watch and I hope you like it ;)

Second, the Supporter Early Access Release for v0.1.3 will be happening tomorrow, on 04/12/2022. The public release will happen a week after. Keep an eye out for the new posts!

One more thing! For the duration of April, I will be running a fundraiser for the Ukrainian Red Cross! 50% of all new pledges and upgrades will go towards them (or another charity, if a better one presents itself at the end of the month). Now  you can support the game development and help out my home country in one  donation!

Wish y'all a great Monday!

Hey, adventurers!

The upcoming v0.1.3 update is shaping up to be the biggest yet,  and while I'm hard at work making it a reality, I wanted to give you an  idea of what changes you should expect.

As per the patron poll held a couple of weeks ago, the characters that will receive new events in the version are Megumin, Chris and Yunyun.  There are a couple of main events planned as well, but I will not be  divulging any more details pertaining to the story. What you might like  to hear, though, is that a certain existing character underwent a visual  revamp, and another one got her stop-frame animations replaced with  video animations.

The main thing I'm focusing on in this update is polishing the existing  systems and revamping the adventuring experience. Up until now, it  lacked depth and there was little to no incentive to venture on an  adventure unless it was important to the plot. Providing positive  feedback for completing a quest and slaying monsters, adding a degree of  randomness and allowing the players make more meaningful decisions  outside of combat are some of the many ways I'm employing to address the  issue. Updated visual effects and new curios (objects you can interact  with) are on the list as well.

The "Recurrent" (repetitive) quests are going away, replaced by a new  Quest Director. Every time you undertake a quest, the new system will  generate a random adventure layout for you, allowing you to choose your  own encounters and feel like you're exploring a location instead  of running in a straight line. While they won't be vital to the main  plot, the new Situations will only occur during exploration... and have I  mentioned collectibles?

I've also taken into consideration concerns about the balancing. The  levels/experience progression has been revamped, some skills buffed or  changed, which should hopefully make them more viable.

That is all I have for you today. If you're a Patron, keep an eye out for the previews of the new or updated content either in Discord, or here on Patreon.  If you're not a Patron, consider becoming one to get more details about  the upcoming updates and get early access to it when it's released!
