? his "final" witch trainer has been out for a Long time...
all the other updates are fan-made mods
Or at least that's what i think...

from whati understand, someone leaked WT to the public early and he got pissed and said he was done with it. but apparently inserts were already added in the leaked game sayin he didnt have the time to complete it.

There have been no updates to witch trainer from Akabur. In December he released a quasi-finished game and ran a line on everyone of how Warner Bros. sent him a cease and desist letter about Hermione Trainer now known as Witch Trainer, so he decided to release it as is. The updates that you're thinking of have been posted by a modding group, where they added in all the stuff Akabur said he felt too rushed and had too little time to add them into the game, plus extras that they plan to add to the game.

Re: Akabur Games

I don't mind WT or PT, but I feel like Magic Shop is the only game of his I really enjoyed.


Too bad that game has updates never.

I'll call bullshit on that Warner Bros thing right now. They don't own the IP and aren't the one who would be sending the C&D letter. The characters don't look anything like what they do in the movies, so they're sufficiently transformative as to constitute a 'new work', so any claim WB might have is bunk.

Never mind the fact that I do believe this to be a rare instance where a 'parody' fair use claim would actually be a successful defense.

Re: Akabur Games

I've just recently downloaded Ren'Py, because I wanted to re-do some of the dialog to make it less stilted and make Hermione more...... aggressive, in the later interactions. It was only in looking at the source files for the game for the first time that I see just how utterly incomplete WT really is.

I never really minded the game the way many posters here seem to have done, and felt that for a free game I got quite a lot of, er, useful content. But opening up the .rpy files and seeing all the tutoring, all the unrealized public events, and all the little interstitial interactions...... it's clear the main scenes for which you earn the hearts and unlock Hermione's whoring potential should have been full screen renders, and the little things ("Jerk off on her tits") should have been the chibis. Seriously, I think there's as much content not in the game as there was stuff that was drawn and coded in.

Seeing what was intended for the game vs what was actually released made me really angry and bummed. It also made me really frustrated over the fact that I can't draw and don't know how to code.

Oh, believe me, I know. I followed Akabur's progress with WT religiously, logging on almost daily. I was incredibly excited, and I'll admit, let myself get over-hyped. It is basically just one guy doing this with a bit of help from Dahr (at least, I don't know how much Dahr does). Still, the posts from Akabur during this period were quite misleading. I've assumed that he was not purposely misleading, and that he actually had all this stuff planned, but ran out of steam. As most people here know, most projects turn into vaporware, as it is a shit ton of work to create a game.

Still, knowing all this, as I played Witch Trainer, I just wanted more than anything to see some of these ideas realized. I saw just how amazing of a foundation Akabur had created, and it made me sad to not see so much realized. The tutoring, the public favors, my God, it could have been a fapper's dream! I still think if he'd just created CGs for each favor, it would have ranked in my top 5 games, but with just 2 CGs and chibis, it is not close :(.

Still, I hope for a WT:Gold some day. Given his propensity of jumping between projects, I'm guessing he will revisit it as some point. He has the foundation and a lot of work done. My guess is that he'll see this as a much more doable project down the line than trying to start an entirely new game. I'm okay with that, I've adjusted my pledging appropriately.

Re: Akabur Games

^ Plenty to go by, so bear with it and hope I don't sound too douchy

1. To the dudes just now realizing WT was an empty shell, welcome to last year ;)

2. In 1 of his (plenty and empty) updates he responded a comment along the lines of : when he finishes (lol) PT:G, he'll "maybe" go back and make a Magic Shop Gold ..... Please don't forget to put "maybe" in bold and font size 20+ just to not forget about it.

And 3. About a month before Christmas and WT's 1 year anniversary, do any of you still believe and/or hope for PT:G to come out around babyjesusday ? I'm still hopeful, but the hype is a bit low ..... I'd put PT:G and Otome in the same release-boat of [sometime before 2020-ish]

I've been following his streams on BHB and a couple days back I saw him doing some shading on photoshop, for a brief seconds, I saw that he does have a recent photoshop file called "jasmine8.psd" under the file that he is working on. So it may mean that he is also working on PT Gold on the side. Should've hit the screenshot button at that time :(. He is also streaming right now btw

Re: Akabur Games

^ Otome Function. An interactive Flash game made by the same dude who made Hizashi no Naka. The only downfall is that he's been working on Otome since 2008 and doesn't seem on the way of finishing it anytime soon.

Hizashi's Dlsite (there's also an uncensored/english version floating around)


Otome's Getchu

I never knew this guy was making another game. I'm sad that he's likely to never complete it :(

Re: Akabur Games

Ladies and gentlemen: scout report from akabur HQ: Work on PT Gold has resumed.






A few pointers :

1. Lola sex CG visible inside his folders

2. Various costumes for "doll" jasmine irisi and lola, including placeholder preggo&milk "states"

3. "Development points" system (not sure what this is yet)

Sorry for the quality. Akabur streams using a potato of a webcam instead of directly from his laptop screen. I have some more screens that I might upload later.

Checking his last stream up, thanks for the heads up man.
