A downloadable game


No more updates for the foreseeable future.

I have been busy with schoolwork for most of the time recently so I have barely any time to work on this project. I have decided to pause billing for the time being seeing as little to no progress is being made right now.

Art update: I have recently fallen out of love with AI art, I don't enjoy using it and I feel no pride in creating with AI. Yes code is work too and there is other art that I do, but as of right now I cant do AI anymore. However I have recently fallen back in love with my actual art and creating smut by hand. No my art is not at the level you can achieve with AI, but I feel much more proud of my work when I draw by hand so for this reason I will continue to develop games and continue to develop Hermione Trainer, but with other smaller art projects and small games in-between until I feel I can do Hermione Trainer justice.

I understand this might be very disappointing for the people who support me and I'm deeply sorry for not being able to make the game you want as of now. Hermione trainer is not abandoned however, but put on the backburner as I focus on my artistic skills and school. You can expect art and smaller games as I learn and gain experience. I love Hermione as a character and the teacher student scenario and I want to make a truly good Hermione Trainer game without AI, but I have also noticed many shortcomings on my own part during development. I Will try my best to get more experience in all aspects of making a renpy porn game. My two biggest issues is my art and writing , While my art isn't awful, it still has a long way to go before I tackle something as ambitious as Hermione Trainer. And in regards to writing a big issue with Hermione Trainer in its current state is the amount of exposition and reading you need to do as opposed to exploring and playing the game on your own. While it is a visual novel style game, I want to make games that wont bore people with walls of text as opposed to natural point and click exploration.

I will be rebranding this patreon page or make a new one to fully step away from the AI messaging and content. Stay tuned for further updates. If all you want is Hermione Trainer then I would advise you to unsubscribe for the time being. Updates to the game wont come any time soon. I am truly sorry for not being able to provide the content I want to make in a timely manor.

Stay tuned for further updates as I do smaller art and game projects to gain more experience with no AI under a new name. I will do my best to keep making porn games since its something I enjoy very much and I will enjoy it much more with my own art.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the positive feedback, help and support I have received so far. A big part of the community has been incredibly welcoming and met me with so much genuine kindness that Im so very sorry for not being able to give you something amazing.

Side note: I don't hate AI or think anyone is wrong for using it in small projects. Im not against enjoying it, But I just really hate using it as opposed to making my own thing. Making this game with AI like I was planning would be very depressing for me so I cant continue development as is.

Ill leave it up on itch for the sake of people who might want it, but I am not accepting donations for this game.

I enjoyed it 😊

Few comments:

  • There is a room for improvement in case of hands. I think that it is the only thing that stands out (apart from that I love how Serana looks so far). Not sure if you can do something about hands - maybe it can't be better than that and it's not worth struggling to try getting results better than that. But if it's not a big effort, then maybe you will earn extra points for AI generated content in group of players that are not very enthusiastic about AI, to say the least😅
  • Please have more guidance to the player, so nobody would get frustrated trying to unlock some progress when there is nothing more. 
    • For example affection should have a limit specific to available content and it should both be blocked from incrementing above some value and player should know that limit has been reached for current version.
    • If I'm not wrong, sleeping in current version doesn't lead to anything (for example to some event on a new day). It could be clearly indicated.
  • The thing that hits the spot in such trainer game is what's happening in character's head. At least for me, Serana's kink for being called good girl is essential spice to enjoy the scene (it could be anything else, it's important that it turns her on).
    • As much as that, the progression indicated by slight changes in repeatable actions feels very important and I like that I see a glimpse of that. Hopefully "show tongue" action that gets broken at some point indicates that there will be some other reaction from Serana with increasing affection/corruption. If there's some kinky twist coming up, then even better.
    • I wonder if you plan to have some corruption progress indicated by subtle outfit changes. I already see that Serana has two visibly different corsets in two poses, so I wonder if it is even possible that Hermione will wear slightly different skirt sizes and you would be able to reliably render that into various poses...

Idea:

  • If I was making a new game, experienced with all games done so far (and players reactions to them), I would consider implementing some kind of multiplier for game progress, so there would be a default grindy pace usual for trainer games, but impatient players could apply such multiplier anytime to amount of points (affection, corruption) or probability of events happening sooner than later.

the day system is in play here, for example when you meet Serana the second day its because its the second day and not just a linear thing. Next update will also include events that happen over time. Like the introduction event will happen a few days after you're done with the second day. As for hands, I do edit a lot of the images and the show boobs image also had an extra finger that i edited out in krita. I will continue to work on and improve the art that i use. Also this release was more of a proof of concept to see if people are interested at all. I have gotten a lot of positive feedback so i know its a project worth working on. 

I know many people hate AI, but i hope people can at least appreciate that i do alot of post production to make the drawings better and feel more natural to the game. I dont just generate and pick the best one. I edit to make them fit in to the game. 

Also all other assets apart from the characters will be hand drawn. I dont intend to have AI do everything. 

I'm going to add to and improve events like show tongue to reflect how she feels about you and how much you  have "Trained her"

Even calling her sexy the first time gives you a different dialogue path where she eyes you up and down a bit instead of just moving on. 

Snape already calls you sir by accident a few times and that's intentional, She will refer to you as sir more and more depending on her affection values, At least for the praise kink route.

Im glad you liked it so far and i appreciate all feedback so thank you. Next big update will be much bigger with content that feels more natural than just a menu and an affection meter deciding what you can get her to do.
