Re: Akabur Games
I figured out my issue. I had high DPI set in my windows display options. Some programs like renpy and rpgmakers dont adjust for high DPI properly. I fixed it by right clicking the games exe and going into properties/compatibility and checkmarking Disable display scaling on high DPI settings.

Re: Akabur Games
For some its not a matter of jealously but annoyance that resources are being channeled inefficiently. There are so many better game makers out there who are overshadowed because they have not received as much publicity as these high earning paetrons who are usually the first content developers most consumers see due to their financial success.
Take for example the creator of rogue like evolution by oni
And just to dismiss the idea of jealously, look at SIMBRO
The blind support of Akabur is like a weed that is sucking up the limited nutrients that other developers can derive from as when you look at it from a macro standpoint, the market for adult games can only be divided that many times before it becomes to clustered.
Pretty much this. I don't freaking understand the people who keep complaining and being jealous of how much money Akabur is being thrown for "seemingly doing very little", and yet they get a free game out of it.
What more would you want, more misery? Like we don't have enough of that in this world...

, in about 2-3 months they grew to a size that is about half of Akabur but no one is dissing them. Because they churn out substantial updates that are to most people more than value for money.The blind support of Akabur is like a weed that is sucking up the limited nutrients that other developers can derive from as when you look at it from a macro standpoint, the market for adult games can only be divided that many times before it becomes to clustered.
Re: Akabur Games
It's not really a matter of jealousy, it's disappointment at the fact that he seems to work slower the more money he gets, which is the opposite effect we want.
When the original PT came out, I was so impressed I immediately signed up for a membership on Hentai-United. Back then, Akabur's stated goal was to work on Magic Shop for a few months before releasing PT: Gold. A short little while later he got the idea for Hermione Trainer, and also started up his Patreon at that time. I stopped subscribing to Hentai United and backed his Patreon and stayed a backer all the way until the renamed Witch Trainer was released. I was fairly disappointed in the repetitive nature of WT, as well as the overall lack of content compared to PT.
Eventually I stopped backing his Patreon a few months after WT's release, due to the lack of obvious progress and the slow drip-feed of information. It's a really huge contrast to the old days back in Hentai United, when Akabur would post on the forums every few days. It really feels like his success has caused Akabur to take his supporters for granted.

Re: Akabur Games
all i can say is, if i aint mistaken, akabur said WT was gonna be his greatest work ever, or sumpm along those lines. when it was finally released and i played it, i thought outloud, what kinda shit is this? compared to his other games this is meh at best. i guess weel see just how great PTGold is when its released after workin on it for so long =/.

Re: Akabur Games
This thread is crazy cyclical. It seems like every 5 or so pages we go from "Man, Akabur is such a lazy, greedy S.O.B." to "Hey, why does everyone keep picking on Akabur?" to "It's because X, Y and Z" to "Well, you're wrong because _____" and then it repeats all over again.

Re: Akabur Games
Maybe if he released his game already we'd have more to talk about it!
And so the cycle begins anew.

Re: Akabur Games
I'm excited to see what people find to complain about when they get the free game. Will it be that they don't like chibis? That there should be more for how long he spent? That he "promised" and "lied" about missing features?Maybe if he released his game already we'd have more to talk about it!
And so the cycle begins anew.

Re: Akabur Games
Yeah, I think this iteration was my bad. Sorry, didn't mean to dredge that nonsense up again! Personally I bear no grudge against him. I think both his wild-eyed haters and his pedestal-builders are a bit silly. He's just a guy trying to live the dream of getting paid to make smut. Who wouldn't do the same in his place? I sure would if I could draw for shit.

Re: Akabur Games
Why do you assume nobody supported him on Patreon? I was very critical of Witch Trainer, and I also support him with $10 a month a few months and $20 later. His posts and teasers during that time were extremely misleading, and the final product really seemed like the barebones foundation of what his vision for the game was. So, it was not a "free" game for me, and he absolutely did not live up to his promises during that time. (Note: his Patreon page was also WAY different in tone and what it promised during that time)
I still support him with $1, which is all I'd give until he earns back my trust as a consumer. I don't have any issue with how long he is taking for PT: Gold, as I know how time consuming development can be. We can't judge him as "lazy," or anything until we see the final product. Even Witch Trainer, with all the flaws, still was a good foundation that would have taken a long time to develop. I was more frustrated that he didn't finish it.

Re: Akabur Games
Witch Trainer feels like a great idea that got shoved out the door in development because the creator lost interest. I hear all these conflicting stories about what was going on then but that was before I discovered Akabur's games so I don't know the real story. People say he got sick of being hassled by fans and dumped the game in a fit of pique, but that could just be the preferred story of his haters. I don't claim to know. I just think it's a joke that he's declared it "complete" when it's more of a demo than a game.
I feel the same. WT seems more like a proof-of-concept than a complete game - but such a GOOD proof of concept! It shows so much promise for future development. And modders here and there have built a bit on that base, though IMO no one has really offered much yet. Mostly it feels unfinished because of the one-room grindiness. What the game needs is an expanded story where Genie can visit different places in Hogwarts to take a more active role in Hermione's corruption rather than just being told everything in text. Obviously other female protagonists would be nice as well. Once that framework is developed adding in additional characters would be much simpler.

Re: Akabur Games
I have tried playing this but get stuck where you have to type something. Not knowing any Russian I don't know what I have to type. Any help would be appreciated.

On another note Vassago a russian guy has taken the idea of witch trainer and made something else. It's the first public release and not even close to being finished and for now it's only in russian.

Re: Akabur Games
Did a quick dig and find this interesting,
too bad I don't understand Russian at all.
May I ask were does Vassago publish his work? I'd like to follow this game.
I found a Blogger that looks like it, but don't know if it's the real deal.

Re: Akabur Games
The guys behind the Russian mod are doing a total rework of the game : new main character, 4 girls (one per house), new locations...
It's been worked on for few months now and they planned a release somewhere around march. Game will be released in russian and english at the same time.

Re: Akabur Games
Then again, I just recently started looking into the rpy files and saw just how much of the game he planned out and never really tackled. And, if I'm honest, almost all of what was left out would have made WT a better game if he had simply stuck with it and finished it. I'd love to see a WT: Gold, but I don't know if that's in the cards for him. There's just so much more ready-made content available to explore; it's a school full of teenage witches, ffs, many of whom we've already seen a visual depiction. That the released game was one student and one room was........... weird. Especially since exploring the Hogwarts grounds was such an integral part of the HP experience. (I'm not really a fan, that's just an observation)
Meh, fundamentally I think he's talented and has a good point of view and sense of humor. He's good at what he does, I just wish there was more than just him and a couple volunteers helping out. His ideas are grander than his bandwidth, but that's often the case.
I never quite understood why the Akabur hate was so high. I've worked in game development, so I understand that one guy trying to take on this level of polish is a fairly big task. What was released was entertaining, if front loaded with dirge. Come on, at the end of the day it's a free game.
