Hello, fine people of the world!

This review is worth the formality because I still find people who complain about bad Nutaku games and who haven’t heard of Princess Trainer yet. I get to surprise them with a link to it.

Storywise the game is about, perverting Jasmine to a point that she has to earn enough money in prostitution to pay for a big wedding the villain wants to have with her. Arguably this plot part is a bit flimsy on the point that he wants to settle down with her after every man in town banged her senseless. But you know, we shouldn’t nitpick it any more than a mainstream Disney story.

The keen among you may have noticed the slight departure of the classics of adventuring after the kid’s parents get murdered. You sigh in relief when you learn no parents were killed in the making of this, I’m sure.

The free visual novel engine Ren’Py, is immune to such risks as gameplay – to everyone’s surprise. It is as basic a brothel sim as you can get. As expected, this minor sandbox isn’t as interactive as people would like. Especially the ones who happened to be bushwhacked by a surprise urgent hardon while playing.

The real reason developer Akabur did not spend some of the Patreon money for voice acting in the game is his fear of lawsuits for causing aggravated dick self-assaults onto users.

Akabur is one of the miracles John Hammond was able to perform out of that Amber rock. Among the rare individuals performing the lost art of drawing stuff on paper old-school.

Just as fascinating and somehow even slower than a T-rex. Akabur had been on the lewd art scene for many years. For instance, his main web URL still is Test for maybe 10 years now 🙂 – http://www.test.akabur.com/. At some point, he decided he may as well do more than stray JPG collections on his blog. It didn’t help much that he was from Russia, or that the lewd scene worldwide barely existed for such things.

As crowdfunding sites started to develop, it was only then when he could actually devote some more serious time to his creations and eventually make a full project.

This definitely broke new ground. Not particularly because it was a major innovation, but rather because someone actually stepped up and did it. Previously, such works were even deeper in obscurity.

Even before the princess trainer was finished, there was no doubt the visuals would be quality. Folks were more curious if the writing would raise to the level of the illustrations.

Thankfully it was good enough. There aren’t that many highlights about it. It didn’t impress like a fancy restaurant gourmet meal, but it had that stable and much-appreciated quality of good warm meal on a cold winter night.

The minor language snafus are just a footprint of Akabur’s non-English nativeness.

Princess Trainer was such a landmark event that nobody can really count the massive amount of people who got inspired to do their own smut projects over the years.

One easily overlooked aspect was that most of the drawings were pretty well emoted throughout the whole thing.

You can really appreciate the sweetness of that if you spend enough time on Artstation.com or the like and stare at infinite amounts of blank face expression characters that are supposed to be interesting.

For a struggling scene artist, people appreciated the quality and also that he didn’t cut all the corners that he could, especially in the art.

The soundtrack is showing the production capacity at the time is short-ish. A quality standard was upheld which made it quite worthwhile, and not just a token thing to tick the sound checkmark.

Then there’s that Eye of The Tiger song with the actual slut training that elicits the extra special chuckle.

Putting the art aside the game can be criticized in some aspects. Why people usually don’t do that – is because most of us have fond memories of when some obscure Russian dude filled the void with something special that showed clear dedication and quality work, to an audience that barely had anything to go on.

On top of it all, he didn’t sell it or put it behind paywalls and just said that people can give him a few bucks if they feel like it. That’s why you can see a clear difference in appreciation for new players who’ve only come onto the smut games scene recently when Nutaku started making bigger waves on the market. So, understandably those of us who have scraped on obscure flash sites from older times, talk about Princess Trainer much more fondly.
