Hello, I have been replaying the game to enjoy the original version before the rewritten one gets released, and I noticed something that while on the first playthrough I didn't even register, but now I did, and it won't stop bothering me:
While the PC trains with Darkness for her accuracy, the PC notes how painfully slow, and marginal her progress is, to the point he isn't even sure it is working. But he isn't making any progress of his own at all. Not on defense, not on dodge, not on accuracy, nothing! They are training together, through so many days, so something ought to have stuck with him from it besides some dirt.
Could there be something added to the game, that the PC gets out of it, perhaps at the end of the training where Darkness hits her plateau, to improve the stats of the PC as well?
At that point, it really becomes a question of balance rather than realism. Adding too much benefit to a single activity (which already has two, raising both affection and accuracy) will skew the balance, so I will likely not change that. The MC will have to make do with the dirt he gets on him :)
That said, there will be other ways of increasing MCs own attributes.
I see. So 2 is the max? Then how about adding the stat increase to the pc only after Darkness no longer gets more benefit? That would still keep it at two at any one time. Besides, of all the activities, I wouldn't mind actuallytraining to be the one that is a little OP.
You could even justify it in universe, that once Darkness states to hit her targets, training with her now allows to train the PC's dodge or protection stat, as protecting or dodging is only possible, when the attack has a chance to hit, and thus dodged or protected against.
For further balancing, you could add more benefits to the other repeatable actions with the others, like Megumin's explosion walks could train her accuracy too, and it could serve as strength or dodge training for the PC, who walks long distances with a load on his back.
Aqua's repeatable activity is drinking, and it is Aqua's, so it is fine if it stays a useless drain of money besides raising her affection, or if it only raised a joke stat, like alcohol resistance.
Same with the other girls, spending time and doing stuff together with the PC day by day, could, and should help both of them improve themselves in some way. If higher level areas were added to the game later, adjusting them to account for the increase in stats, could prevent getting it too imballaced, too.
Hello! I gotta ask, is there a release schedule for the newer version? I understand that if you're working alone it is a really hard job, so please don't overwork yourself. And one more thing, which girl would be the focus of the new update?
Hey! Thank you for the kind words, I hope you're enjoying the game!
The release has been delayed due to the current political events and the war that have been personally affecting me, but I hope to get it done sometime in August! It will mainly focus on a major story rewrite, improve upon existing gameplay mechanics (and somewhat reshape the others) and add more H-scenes to the main trio.
I am sorry to hear about your struggles with the current political climate. I am impresed and surprised by a major story rewrite... because I thought the current one was already really good. But more H-scenes are always welcome!
If I had to change anything of the story would just be a dialogue addition: When Darkness goes to the "empty" room to alliviate herself, and then Kazuma asks her what she's doing here and she talks about the horrible things and the gaze of the fat bastard, a little whisper at the end saying something like: And when I pictured you doing that... So that's why she would be excited.
Sorry to bother you with this, I'll patiently wait for the next awesome update.
Hey! Been enjoying Adventurer Trainer so far, but I wanted to ask about one of the changes in 1.4. Specifically for training with Darkness, it says that you can train her accuracy up to "+60", but I was wondering if that means you can only train it from -119 to -59 (exactly a +60 increase) or if it can go higher? Like out of the negatives and to 60 Accuracy.
Either way, enjoying the game and excited to see more content!
Your assumption is correct. The maximum accuracy bonus derived from the training activity for Darkness is +60, which does indeed only train it up to -60 actual stat (from -120). I'm considering a possibility of increasing it even further at some point, which will make Darkness a formidable party member, but for now (and to stay in line with her character) this is as far as it goes.
Thank you for the quick response! I figured this was the case after I trained her enough for the game to say that she wasn't improving anymore, but I wanted to double check.
Since I didn't know if leveling up might influence the maximum accuracy she can be trained with, or if there might have been books that can increase training effectiveness/cap -- basically, just wanted to make sure I wasn't headed in the entirely wrong direction here.
Umm hello I just downloaded the game on my android device like three times but I can play it it's saying app not installed can some one help me pls I just wanna play it it goes till the end then says app not installed
If you're trying to install it from your hotbar at the top of your screen and it's not working, go into your files app on your phone and the .apk should be under downloads.
Quite amazing. I love the current routes. I am sure the game will have a great future. Just one thing, as a fan of both Megumin and Darkness I was delighted by how cute the Megumin route is, can we expect some cutesy and actual romance from the Darkness route too? Because right now it's a bit...
Yo so I loved playing this game got a new phone and I am running into a problem I tried fixing several ways but the apk won't finish downloading saying it's forbidden?
The game is incredibly amazing! I've downloaded countless games, but none were as good as this. I loved the intro with the song especially. IMO the game is too good to be free lol
Hello there! I've played the game and would like some feedback on some issues
First of all, the animation parts freeze on the phone. I have 4gb ram but it's like 3fps. Secondly, the H-scenes sound a bit bad. Sounds like not connected with animation (I don't know for computer but it's like that on phone)
Finally, you can try using real human voices. Yeah it's a little kinky but it's an H game
After all, the game is seriously good at everything! Just wanted to give feedback for better improvement ^^
Keep going like this!
Hey! Thanks for the comment! When you say animation freeze, do you mean H-scene animations or combat animations?
I'm a little on the fence of using generic voices since the characters already have established voice actors and if the voices don't match that would spoil the impression for a lot of people, but I am considering it.
Usually there are animation freezes in H scenes.Also, there may be a lot of volunteers who want to voice characters on discord or elsewhere. Some of them might fit the characters very well (I think)
Hi, first, let me thank you for your amazing work. I'm having a lot of fun with this game. Still, I'd like to leave some feedback about how I encountered a few errors.
While I was adventuring in the dungeon I was having Megumin use a mana potion on Kazuma, and I got an error page.
Also, the new H. Scene with Darkness is lag-y and stuttery, even though based on the preview video here it is supposed to have smooth animation. I am on an Android device, by the way, maybe that has to do something with it?
And third, I am unable to replay Aqua's new H.Scene, the replay plays out differently, and the PC ditches Aqua right before the good part. Is that intended? Am I doing something wrong? I have no old enough saves to go back to, do I need to start over from the beginning to see that part again?
And finally, with the errors out of the way, I'm just curious, how can I find the book Luna told me to look for? I have been searching, but came up empty handed. Is the only book in the game that guide to fishing? Is there a use for the fishes I caught, or are they only for show? Is there a way to check my reputation? Is there an effect to how well I do as a receptionist in the guild besides the amount of money I make? The adventurers' grades, do those have an impact?
Will the trade system get an update? It would be great if I could actually buy/gift the girls weapons, now that the PC have Chunchunmaru, it would be only fair. Also would be better than the generic gifts. If I could sell the potions/fish, that'd be tremendous help towards paying off the debt. I want to see the bonus scene for it so bad!
Sorry for the long comment, but I made an account just to be able to write this, so I thought, hell, might as well make the most of it.
Thank you for reporting the issues! I'll investigate and get them fixed for the next update.
The replay must be bugged out, you can back out of it by going to the menu and pressing End Replay. This will send you back to your playthrough. I'll get it fixed in the next version.
Don't worry about the book Luna mentioned, that is included in the content to come. The guide for fishing is indeed the only book at the moment. Salmon is used in one event at the moment, but I have plans for use of other fishes. There is currently no way to check the reputation, I'm working on a menu for that (and abilities & feats).
As far as the guild work goes, how well you do matching adventurers with quests has a direct impact on their grades and consequently the reward you're given and/or progress that is made on quests.
I plan to rework the trading system as I'm not happy with its current state.
Thank you for the detailed comment! Always happy to read through these and respond :)
Thanks PastryIRL! This game is totally amazing! :)
Finally here is a really good adult story-rich fantasy game, with meaningful choices, where the protagonist doesn't behave like a braindead monkey unavoidably f**king every girl he meets.
Hey I ended up finding a weapon for the PC during one of my runs in one of the dungeons, but I haven't been able to find any other ones. Just how rare is it to find them?
I downloaded the game on Android, and the game crashed twice.
First, the game crashed when I was doing... well, I don't recall the event name, but it occurred about 2 minutes after the Ram and Rem Easter egg in the Marketplace cutscene.
After my game didn't save, I redid the mission where you had to fight the Undead in the crypt for Luna, and it crashed again when I melee'd one of the skeletons.
Just a couple things I wanted to point out. Great game, though.

Hello I´m going to try this game, is possible in future add price for this game on itch.io ? like for 5 - 20 euro ? To have all updates for free? Thx
Hey! The game is and always will be completely free. I will never charge for it.
You're free to support the development via Patreon, but that is entirely optional.

i encountered an error while on a mission when using a healing potion
It's a known issue, will get it fixed in the next version. Thanks for reporting!
Thanks PastryIRL! This game is totally amazing! :)
Finally here is a really good adult story-rich fantasy game, with meaningful choices, where the protagonist doesn't behave like a braindead monkey unavoidably f**king every girl he meets.
thank you c:
Ooooo hm...when will be the next update after...
I try to release a new version every 4-6 weeks usually
Just downloaded it again for the first time since 1.2, that intro is about 10x better than most anime intros. Looks amazing.
Thank you c:
Makes all the effort and time put into making it worth it!
Hey I ended up finding a weapon for the PC during one of my runs in one of the dungeons, but I haven't been able to find any other ones. Just how rare is it to find them?
Hey! So far you've found the only one available, so congrats on that ;)
Typically the chance to find a unique item is around 10-15%.

Thank you for reporting the issues! Were there any error messages you could potentially upload?
What the cheat??
does the android version work for Chromebook?
I have no idea, actually. I think you might be the first person to ask or try that.
Let me know if it does!
lol is that combat inspired by octopath traveller?
Sure is!
You got something good going on here, it just lacks content, but, youre working hard on this, right? All the konosuba girls deserve some nice scenes
Every day :)
I can't even install it on android probably a small error hope it gets fixed it looks like it would have been a fun game
Could you be more specific? What is your device and Android version? What happens when you try to install?
Most people are able to install & play on Android just fine so I need to know the details.
it's a Galaxy A32 5G. when I downloaded the file it just says can't open but I'm not sure what the problem is
You might need to enable "Install Unknown Apps or Unknown Sources", since the game isn't on Appstore.
that's not it since I've played other games on this site before on my phone and they work just fine but it might be a weird error on my side ether way
Tried looking at items in first fight and got error page. Could be cause i dont have any yet. Figured it'd help either way
Thanks a lot for reporting! Will get it fixed
Fixed in v0.1.3a, thanks!
I don't know why but that still happens with my luck might just be me (0.1.4)
Your game was re-uploaded by "noirpleur" and called it Adventurer Trainer V2
Bizarre. They're distributing the v0.1.1 version, too; not even v0.1.2.
Hi is there any Updates to this I already finish the Game
v0.1.3 is coming out in Early Access for Patrons within the next week or two.
